CHAPTER 19 : WE HAVE A SITUATION

Uhm, I'm here for....

Hi Bea, nice to see you again!

Nicole! Hi!

Tots, patawag naman si Pia nandito na si Bea kamo. Pasok ka muna. Tinapik nya yung kasing tangkad ko na babae sa pinto.

Their Dorm is quite same as ours. Umupo muna ako sa couch and inabutan naman ako Tiammy ng juice.

How's the resto? As I took a sip. Before pa sya makapagsalita....

Ate Kathyyyy! May sumisigaw sa taas, tapos narinig namin na may tumatakbo pababa sa hagdan!

Akin na toooo!

Ang bully mo tala....

Napatigil na lang sila ng makita nila na nandito ako. Yung hinahabol, matangkad na babae, mejo makapal yung kilay nya. Yung nanghahabol naman, maputi, may katangkaran den at... naka bra lang. Umiwas na lang ako ng tingin at tinignan si Nicole ng nakangiti.

Haha, guys, this is Bea de Leon, Pia's friend. Kathy Bersola our team captain and Isa Molde.

Hi. They said in unison. Tapos hinablot na ni Isa yung tshirt nya sa kamay ni Kathy.

Speaking of Pia, napakatagal naman nun. Teka akyatin ko lang. Tots.... tinuro ako ni Nicole.

Pasensya ka na dun sa dalawa. Lagi kasing nag aasaran yung mga yun.

Haha okay lang, ganun den naman sa dorm.

Dorm? Volleyball player ka den?

Uhm yea. Rookie. Ateneo.

Same! Ahahaha.

Kanina pa sya nandito timang ka. Patawag tawag ka pa sakanya kung nasaan na sya, sya den pala pag aantayin mo.

Ehh syempre nag retouch pa ako.

You don't need that, you're beautiful just the way you are. Singit ko sakanilang dalawa.

Kilig ka naman. Bulong ni Nicole sakanya. Siniko naman sya ni Pia.

These are for you. Let's go? Inabot ko yung bulaklak na binili ko.

Ibalik mo yan bago magdilim may practice pa kami bukas. Ingat kayo.

We waved goodbye and we went to dinner.

After 1 month, sinagot nya den ako. In 3 months, na meet na nya yung team ko (as my girlfriend), na meet ko na den yung team nya (as her girlfriend) and, na meet ko na den yung parents nya. Now we are on the way to our house for her to formally meet the De Leons. We stopped by the mall para bumili ng cake and pizza.

When we arrived at the house.

Mom, Dad?!

Maam Bea, long time no see. May kasama po pala kayo, pasok po.

Manang!!! Bineso ko sya. Sila Mom?

Nasa study.

Pia this is Manang, Manang this is Pia, my girlfriend.

Hello po Maam Pia. Upo po muna kayo tatawagin ko sila Madam. May niready po ako na juice jan sa ref.

Nangunguyakoy na sa kaba si Pia.

Hey, I held her hand, its going to be okay, I got you.

My princessssss!

Dad! Mom! Nag open arms ako para yakapin sila pero....

Aba aba! ..dumiretso sila para yakapin si Pia. Wooooow!

Oh, anak nanjan ka pala. I just pouted.

Madam excuse me, nakahain na po yung food. Sabi saamin ni manang

Let's go....

Pia po. Pia Gaiser po uhm...

Mom, you can call me Mom.

Nice catch kiddo.

Thanks Dad.

But we need to talk to you after dinner okay?

Sure Dad.

We enjoyed the dinner and after that Dad and Mom invited me at the study.

We have a situation Bea. Inabutan ako ni Dad ng whiskey. Kinuha ko and then I took a sip.

He told me the whole story.

Our way home, was very quiet. Pia keeps on asking me what is bothering me but I just said na there's nothing to worry, na they just miss me sa bahay. She wasn't convinced tho. She just said na she wants to know soon and she is willing to listen. Kung malalaman nya baka hindi na sya maging willing. Sobrang hirap ng sitwasyon ko ngayon.

Before I go home I bought donuts for everybody and syempre para ke ate Ells.

Yehey, lab mo talaga ko noh?

Siguro kung hindi ka laging nagtetraining sobrang taba mo na ate.

Grabvhe ka namarn. Punong puno nanaman yung bibig nya.

Haha. Love you. I kissed her cheeks. Akyat na me.

Pag akyat ko, naabutan kong umiiyak si Jho. Again?!

Hey.

Uhm. She wiped her tears before facing me. Jan ka na pala. Kadating mo lang?

Yea. What happened?

Nothing haha naglilinis lang ng mata.

Jho, I might be beautiful, but I'm not stupid.

Wow confidence. Hahaha.

I wasn't laughing. What did he do this time?

This time?

This is the 4th time na nakita kitang ganyan Jho, ayaw ko lang maghimasok kasi relasyon nyo yan. 1 time is okay, 2 is acceptable, 3 is too many, 4 is..... bigla nya akong niyakap.

May iba sya. Nahuli ko sila kanina naghahalikan sa hallway.

Baket di mo hiwalayan?

Binabantaan nya ako. Na pag iniwan ko daw sya sisiraan nya daw ako sa coaches.

Can he do that?

His dad is friends with the Dean. Dean na yun Bei, wala na akong laban dun.

You have the truth. Napatahimik sya. Tumabi ako sakanya. Look Jho, kahit siraan ka pa nya sa coaching staff, kung maganda naman performance na pinapakita mo, walang wala yun, its just his words, we got your back. We will talk to Ate Aly about this. Do you really want to let him go? She just nodded. Then lets talk with Ates. Deserve mo maging masaya. Do not settle for uhm, soft spike if you can kill the ball.

What?!

Just.... let just talked to them okay?

Okay. Thanks Bea. Can you be there pag sinabi ko kila ate Aly to?

Of course nandito naman ako lagi diba?

We discussed it to the seniorsand to the coaching staff. At first ayaw nilang maniwala, so I asked Jho if shehas a proof. Luckily nag screenshot sya ng text messages nila ni Marci and na video-hannya den in the act na nakikipag make out sya sa ibang babae. We showed it to themand Marci was forced to let Jhoana go and wasn't allowed to talk to heranymore. After that sobrang naging free at masaya na si Jhoana. Good to see heragain smiling.
