Bea's POV
Today is my last cheer rally. Sobrang bilis ng panahon parang feeling ko kahapon pa yung first cheer rally ko kasama yung team. Hays.
Pagbaba ko sa living room namin ay naabutan kong naguusap si Dad at si Thirdy. And yes, he picked me up today sabay daw kami papunta Ateneo.
"Goodmorning." napalingon naman silang dalawa sakin ng magsalita ako.
"Goodmorning Isabel. Bilisan mo nang kumain dun ng maka alis na kayo ni Thirdy." sabi ni Dad.
"No na Dad. I'll have drive thru nalang late na din kasi kami sa cheer rally eh. We'll go ahead na po. Tell mommy for me nalang po. Love you." I said tsaka nag beso naman ako sakanya. Nagpaalam nadin si Thirdy sakanya tsaka sumunod sakin sa kotse.
The drive to Ateneo was quiet. Ramdam ko yung mga tingin ni Thirdy sakin pero di ko siya pinansin, I'm not in the mood eh thinking na this is my last cheer rally makes me wanna wish to bring back S77. It's just so sad leaving Ateneo. Five years will never be enough.
Nang makarating kami sa BEG kung saan naka held yung cheer rally ay sobrang dami na ng tao. I was about to go inside na ng tawagin ako ni Thirdy. Muntik ko nang makalimutan na kasama ko pala sya. Hays naman.
"Babs, may problema ba tayo? Kanina kapa matamlay at di mo ako kinikibo sa buong byahe?" He asked and worry is evident to his face. I sigh deeply.
"I was just sad, Thirds. Thinking na this is our last cheer rally with our respective teams and then after UAAP we'll leave Ateneo na. It makes me wanna turn back time to S77." I was already holding back my tears kaya yumuko nalang ako when he suddenly lifted up my face para makatingin ako sakanya. He's expression is much more comforting than kanina naka smile na sya sakin ngayon.
He kissed my forehead and gave me a very comforting hug. He really knows how to make me calm. "Hey. I know it's sad leaving Ateneo, kahit ako nga eh nalulungkot eh but we can't do anything about it na cause it's here already. We're already seniors na eh kaya all we have to do now is fight once more for the school and make them proud tsaka let's just enjoy our cheer rally and UAAP for the last time, okay? Don't worry i'll be there with you every step of the way." tumango nalang din ako sa sinabi tsaka ko naramdaman yung higpit ng yakap niya.
We broke the hug and decided to go inside the BEG. Agad ko naman hinanap yung team at sumama na sakanila.
The ceremony started, each sport team and players were introduced by the court-side reporter for Ateneo this season. Then it was our team's turn to be introduced.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, our Ateneo University Women's Volleyball Team." fans roars with cheers as we walk towards the center of the BEG. We took our team photo together with the coaches and student managers.
I roam my eyes around the venue not letting a tiny bit of scenario escape my eyes afraid that I might be able miss it. Suddenly, I'm starting to reminisce my past 4 years and cheer rallies here in Ateneo. Sobrang bilis ng panahon na di ko na namalayan na last ko na this year. I didn't notice na a tear escape my eyes already at napansin yun ng current courtside reporter namin, si Denice.
"Aw, Bea why are you crying?" Asking me na naka mic pa. Hays tong si Den talaga. I shake my head while I was wiping my eyes.
"Nothing. I was just getting emotional thinking na this is my last cheer rally. I'm gonna miss this so much. Every tiny bit of Ateneo." I smiled but sadness is still visible.
"Awww" the crowd reacted. Natawa nalang ako at tsaka naman kami bumalik sa pwesto namin beside the Men's Volleyball team.
The program proceeded. I was busy having kulitan with my teammates when suddenly Denice calls everyone's attention.
