To: Ara
Babe, they did it! They won the championship! It's all for you babe! I love you! No matter what they say, that arena was yours and no one else's. You're still the best for me.

To: Ara
I forgot to tell you, they still don't know who did it to you. I promise to bring you justice. I miss you

I am so proud of the team. Nanalo sila. Pero nakikita ko na for the first time, masaya na ulit sila. Parang nabunutan ng tinik sa lalamunan. Na sobrang worth it lahat. Nakita ko tinawag si Mika for interview and I heard how it went

Boom: So Mika, what inspired you guys to win?

It took a while for Mika to answer, she cupped her face with her hands and I can tell she was sobbing. After a few seconds, she composed herself and apologized for the wait

Mika: Sorry sobrang emotional lang talaga ng team ngayon. Para sayo to Ara, mahal na mahal ka namin. Lahat ng pinaghirapan namin, para sayo to.

I heard the crowd applaud really loud. When I tried to approach the team, Boom asked if he can interview me. Pumayag naman ako

Boom: So Thomas, how does it feel that your school bagged this year's championship?
Thomas: It feels great, I'm so proud of the team, all their efforts have paid off.
Boom: And to their inspiration?
Thomas: She's also mine. I hope she's okay up there. Animo La Salle!

I didn't want her death to be something just spread all over. It felt wrong and I don't know why. Was I being selfish again? But I hated it when people who barely know a thing about what happened talk about it like they know everything.

The next day I heard my phone ring. It was Mika.

Mika: Thomas kilala na kung sino
Thomas: What?
Mika: Kung sino pumatay kay Daks
Thomas: Sino?
Mika: Isang lasing na guard sa EGI. Thomas andiyan ka pa?

Lalaki pa ba ako? Bakit iyak ako ng iyak? Nagagalit ako, pero natutuwa ako. Sa wakas, may hustisya na para kay Ara. Pero nagagalit ako na siya buhay na buhay pero yang guard na yan, kumuha ng buhay ng inosenteng babae. Ara do you feel at peace now? We know who did it. I hope you're okay now.6
