Months have passed. I used my last playing year well. We won the championship. I got the Finals MVP. Im so grateful. Hindi ko akalain na i will get the award knowing that my stats is not that high but still im so thankful. Championship lang pinagdasal ko tapos may bonus pang MVP.
"Bei congrats!"
"Congrats Bea!"
"Ang galing mo Bei!"
Everyone is smiling at me here in the court. I say my thank you. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam magchampion. Its been so long for us. All our hardwork has paid off, finally.
I saw my teamates hugging each other. They are crying. Cameras are flashing all over here. I imagine before this moment but its nothing compare to reality -- this is my reality.
I run to find Maki and Cel, i hug them. I know they are also happy. After that i find my mom but i see him first.
I run into him and hug him. He hug me back.
"Congrats Ysa."
I feel like crying. Hoy Beatriz hindi pwede kung gusto mong magtrend ka.
After the hug doon ko lang narealize that i just did not hug him. I jump to hug him. Jusko Beatriz halatang hatala ka.
"Congrats Anak!"
"Thank you Mom this is all for you." I told her. I hug her tightly. Mom is there to me whenever i feel like im weak. Dad and Kuya are their also. Lord at this moment I cannot fanthom this feeling.
Everything falls into place after that happened At first was kinda hesitant whats next to my career. All my life my greatest goal is to get the championship. I did yes but i am not ready what will happen next. I was scared, frigtened and terrified. Scared if that was the end of my career. Frightened for the future. Me compare to other players is nothing. They already have their names after their college career while me nagsisimula pa lang. Terrified 'cause we are still hanging.
I am hanging that time - to life in all aspect but im so thankful to Him for always giving me direction to get back home - to volleyball in particular.
I am now playing in a professional team with my seniors and other new players. Everyone is rooting for us dahil bago kami. Eventually we exceed in their expectations. The team begins to create its own name and i am very happy.
"Bei, you'll coming with us this weekend? Bakasyon lang."
It was my teamate. I heard they are planning to go to Zambales to relax. I love to but i have a important gathering to attend to.
"Sorry Ate, i have a wedding to attend. Highschool barkada ko kasi 'yong bride and groom."
"Oh? Sila nagkatuluyan?"
Nagulat sya kasi nga naman bihira ang highschool sweetheart ang nagtatagal.
"Fortunately Ate yes." I said while smiling.
Isa na naman sinuwerte sa pag-ibig. People dont believe that hs sweetheart will end up together. Sabi nila habang tumatanda raw nagbabago ang tao even love.
Well i cannot contradict them 'cause i also experienced that. Before i dont like Thirdy but now i love him. Malabo man kami malinaw naman sakin na gusto ko sya. Haay Beatriz!
May phone rings and it was Maki who's calling.
"Hello Maks."
"Bei pupunta ka ba sa kasal ni Gello at Kyle sa Sunday?"
