SJU won securing their third title! Three peat is indeed real. I hold Blake's hand and together we go down and join the celebrating crowd who are rejoicing the win sa loob ng court. Sebastian hit a buzzer beater that secured the win for the Hawks. Buhat si Basti ng team niya as they celebrate how it amazes me that amidst the crowd he spotted me and when he did eh nagpababa siya at mabilis niya akong tinakbo.

"Love we won!!!" Masayang sabi niya

"I know super galing mo" I jump up to hug him at sinalo niya ako "Congratulations Love" bulong ko.

"Sarap naman noon, isa pa nga" and he hug me back "Come" yaya niya sa akin and I pull Blake with me. The trophy will be awarded and he wanted us in the picture. When the camera shot I was there cage inside Basti's arm. Posterize for the next generation to see.

The crowd is celebrating, confetti flied as little by little people started to disperse from the venue. Don Antonio Arambulo came down in the flight of stairs to meet us.

"Sebastian, that was quite a show" bungad niya.

Napakamot sa batok si Basti as he take my hand and pull me with him "Lolo, this is Alessandra my girlfriend" pakilala niya.

"Finally, I have met the famous Alessandra" masaya niyang bati.

"Po?!" Gulat na tanong ko.

"Basti here cannot stop talking about you since the two of you met again" he smile mischieviously as I look at Basti na namumula ang buong mukha "Your Mama and Papa will be proud kung nabubuhay pa sila Sebastian" dagdag pa niya as he kiss his cheek.

Hindi ko alam, hindi ko alam na wala napalang parents si Basti kelan pa?

"Do you want to have Dinner Lolo?" He asked

"Next time Sebastian madami pakong naiwang trabaho but when I am free from my schedule bring your girlfriend with you kumain tayo" naka ngiti niya sagot sabay kindat.

"Hatid na namin po kayo" offer ko.

"No need hija just celebrate with Basti he deserves it" nangiting saad ng matanda and tanging tango lang ang aking naisagot.

That night kinilala ko si Basti in a deeper sense and sa lahat ng nalaman ko eh it make me fall in love with him over and over again.

Sebastian Antonio Arambulo Lacsamana, Basti to everyone. One and only son of Dr. Simeon Lacsamana and Sofia Arambulo. Their marriage is indeed a match made in heaven as the only son of the hospital and brewery magnate Simeon Lacsamana marries the only daugther of the realty tycoon Sofia Arambulo. On their first year of marriage they had their son Sebastian, they wanted a big family but nahirapan na silang sundan and unluckily on their way home from a remote medical and charity mission their private plane crashes with no survivor. Leaving a 3 years old Basti orphan. His grandparents in the Lacsamana side couldn't take the devastating tragedy well that on the close casket wake of his parents his Lolo Raul suffered a massive heart attack and died on the spot the next year her mamita Grace followed. Leaving a very wealthy Sebastian in the care of his Lolo Antonio. Everyone important in his life left hence instead of becoming bitter he cherish what is left. Pinaghusayan niya ang lahat ng bagay na meron siya to make everyone proud kahit wala na sila.  Someday he know na kailangan niya mag step up to manage the Legacy and handle the empire kaya even he knows na he can have a spot for Pro basketball, he never aspire.  His path is made for him a long time ago, alam na niya what and who he will become kaya despite his busy acads and co curricular activities  he manage to start interning during highschool, to any available job that he can learn in their company. He wanted to understand how their empire works and how to handle their people well. I know some day Basti will be a good boss and leader to them.
