You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

"Stop laughing na Bei. Alam ko namang hindi kagandahan boses ko pero a little bit of cheer naman for me please."

"Fine. I miss you singing with your ukelele. How long has it been?"

"How long has it been na nga ba, Beatriz?"

FOUR YEARS AGO

Thirdy Ravena skips PBA Rookie Draft to focus on overseas training - Spin.ph

"Thirds, are you really sure about this?"

"Yes, Bei. I hope you can understand my decision. This is my life long dream – my dream to hone my skills with the top caliber players and coaches in the world."

"But..."

"Stop with your puppy eyes, B. I promise, I'll make sure that we will talk everyday. Kahit magpadala pa ko ng liham." ;)

"Ugh what's liham?"

"Hahahahahaha I knew it Beibei! Liham is letter in English, miss conyo queen."

"You're not getting funny."

"..."

"Hmm, ayt T. It doesn't matter if it's every day we talk. As long as you call me if you have free time. Do not make this as your obligation, okay? I want you to promise me that you chase your dreams without any distraction and hesitation."

"Yes, ma'am!" ;)

"Ugh pacute pa eeeew. You're not cute kaya. Trying hard nito."

"Foul! You're hurting my feelings."

"Pft okay sige na nga. You're cute na nga but slight lang."

"Aminin mo na kasi madam beibei crush mo ko?" ;)

"IN YOUR DREAMS SIR"

"You are one of my dreams, ma'am. Uy trying hard to supress her kilig." ;)

"Whatever mister. Where are we na nga? Hmmm. DON'T FORGET YOUR PROMISE, FERDINAND THE THIRD HA?"

"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!" ;)


Months turn into weeks into days unknowingly. Japan time for Ferdinand was not easy as he taught of. Finding his spot in an unfamiliar territory made him so skeptical about himself. He lost his confidence, and at the same time, he hasn't kept up his promise to the lady who always prays for his success.

After two years of failed international stint, Thirdy Ravena enters the PBA draft.

Thirdy Ravena withdraws draft application for the second time, rumored to focus on being a father - FashionPulis.com

"Bea, I said stop reading articles na about him. He intentionally forgot na nga you."

"Maks, is it my fault na when I scroll in my timeline here in Twitter, every tweet is about him?"

"Is twitter broken right now, Cel? I remember Bea said na he muted the words Thirdy, Ferdinand, and Ravena in Twitter then now it appears na in her feed na uli?"

"Broken... or more like stalking lang talaga?"

"Shut up you two na nga! Let's continue baking na lang so we can go to the Charity works early."

"HAHAHAHAHA BEATRIZ STYLE MO BULOK"

PRESENT

"You're so kapal talaga! The nerve of you to ask me how long it has been when you are the first one to shut your doors and even the windows for me."

"I am sorry na nga Beibei. I sincerely apologize for being weak. I forgot that you are the one who makes me strong. I am sorry if I thought so low of myself for missing and failing all my dreams. I am sorry if I forgot about you, B."

"I forgive you na nga, T. As long as you will not make silent treatment na again to me ha?"

"Yes, ma'am. Of all the mistakes I made in the past, pushing you out of my system is the biggest one I regret up to now."

"What's important is what we have right now. So you sleep na because you have early practice pa tomorrow for the PBA All-Stars next week."

"Do you want another song to hear pa. I feel hyped up right now. Khalid who?"

"Khalid ka dyan. Kapal mo talaga forever. Baba ko na nga tong tawag."

"Uy joke lang. Ito naman alam kong hindi mo ko matitiis. Kung alam ko lang you watched live in Areneta just to see me play eh."

"ALAM MO RAVENA ANG KAPAL MO TALAGA. ATE LY ASKED ME TO ACCOMPANY HER. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN PBA NA PALA."

"HAHAHAHA ok ok sige na nga. Lumalaki na butas ng ilong mo. HAHAHAHAHA."

"Stoooooooop na Ravena. You are not funny na. You're so nakakapikon."

"Hahaha. Okay ma'am, I surrender. One more thing, Bei. Can I ask you something?"

"Hmm what is it, Thirds?"

"Can you join me tomorrow on fetching Juan?"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes Bei. I think it is about time to introduce to my son the love of my life. He is an understanding kid. I bet he'll love you too."

"Hmm okay Thirds. Let's buy something first as an introductory gift."

"No need Bea. But if you insist then it's fine. I am insisting for another song, then." ;)

"NO THIRDY STOP SINGING NA"

"Another chorus na lang?"

"N to the O. NO. Let's sleep na so tomorrow I look fresh while meeting your mine me"

"Fine madam beibei. See you tomorrow! Good night, love."

"Night, love."
