It's been a week since the lunch out. Alyssa and Dennise tried their best to avoid each other.
Den knows that Aly does the night shift in taking care of Bang. She just assigned a nursing staff to check on the patient during that time. Hindi din naman siya tinetext ni Aly regarding sa condition ni Bang, so she thinks that everything's well.
She has to focus on her girlfriend. You're right, Den. There was nothing special about the way she treated you. Den told herself.
Aly on the other hand has noticed that Den hasn't been visiting Bang at night. She is somewhat thankful na ganoon ang nangyayari. At least she gets to focus on Bang and she won't have a hard time suppressing her feelings for Den.
I told you, Aly. Wala lang kay Den yung mga nangyari. Ikaw lang nag-isip na baka may nararamdaman pa siya. You're stupid. She left you, of course, wala na siyang nararamdaman. Umiiwas tuloy baka kasi masyado akong naging obvious last time. There's only Bang for you, Aly. Only Bang, Aly thought.
I miss her. But this is for the better. Pareho nilang sinabi sa mga sarili nila.
-----------------------------
Aly woke up with the sound of her phone ringing. It's Ella calling.
"Besh, good morning. Bumangon ka na."
"Bakit ba ang aga aga nambubulahaw ka?" asked Aly.
"Valdez, don't tell me you forgot."
"Forgot what?"
"Batukan kita diyan e. Di ba nga today is our game with Ate Charo and the gang? Sila Ate Ging at ibang teammates natin on the way na," Ella said. She is pertaining to their PSL team's tune up game with former AWVT.
"Shoot! Oo nga pala. Wait lang. Mag-aayos na ko. Bye Besh. Thanks for waking me up. Wait for me," Aly said at nagmadali na siyang kumilos.
Pagkatapos niyang mag-ayos, lumapit si Aly kay Bang.
"Hon, maglalaro lang ako with the team ha. You must really miss them right now. Pero sana mas miss mo pa din ako," Aly said smiling.
"Buti na lang wala ka sa game ngayon. If not, the AWVT will surely have a hard time. Ang galing mo e," Aly continued.
"Pero for now, I want you to focus on your own fight. Come on, honey. Wake up soon, please. You'll wake up soon, right?"
Of course, Bang didn't and couldn't respond. Aly just let out a sigh.
"Alright, honey. I'll go now. Parating na daw si Kuya Don. I love you." She kissed Bang on the forehead and left.
--------------------------------
Aly went inside the gym running. The rest are already warming up.
"Ano ba yan Aly? Bakit di ka pa bihis?" asked Ging.
"Sorry. Nagcommute lang ako papunta. Can't drive yet. Has nothing to drive yet. Alangan namang nakajersey na ko papunta," explained Aly.
"Come on, Aly. Move your ass. Magbihis ka na," said Gretch.
"Oo nga. You had us waiting for too long na," said Fille.
"Bakit maglalaro yan? Nakakatalon pa ba yan?" pang-aasar ni Aly kay Fille.
"Kahit patamaan pa kita sa mukha," sagot ni Fille.
"Hoy, daming daldal. Bihis na, Ly," said Ara.
Aly hurriedly went to the dugout. She headed to a cubicle to change her clothes. When she opened the door, someone let out a shout.
"Shit! Ano ba?! Nagbibihis ang tao!" shouted Den while slamming the door.
