My Silver Lining

And She Scores

DEANNA'S POV

I got an early Christmas gift from Jema. Batman shirt and neck pillow kasi alam nya mag babyahe ako.

Tuwang tuwa naman ako dito. Batman is my fave kasi.

I'm staying at her condo tonight kasi 3 AM yung flight ko. Gusto kong sulitin ang time namin.

She brought me to the airport at nagpaalam na din kasi she will go straight to Laguna nalang.

Enjoy naman ako sa Cebu. I've missed my family and friends kaya halos everyday may lakad ako. But always ko naman inuupdate yung Langga ko.

4 days before Christmas, I sent Jema a message.

Me: "3620 4154 3793"

Langga ❤️: "Huh? Ano yan Lang?"

Me: "I will tell you sa takdang panahon haha"

Langga ❤️: "Langga naman eh! Hindi ako mapapalagay neto kung di ko malalaman para san yan"

Me: "Patience Langga. You'll find out soon enough 😘"

Langga ❤️: "Hhhmmpp! Cge na nga. I'll wait. I miss you so much Langga 😭"

Me: "I miss you more Lalang 🤗 I'll see you real soon"

At exactly 12 midnight ng Christmas, nag greet ako sa kanya.

Me: "Merry Christmas to you and your fam Langga 😘 Please claim my gift sa LBC Laguna Branch malapit jan sa inyo. Remember those numbers I sent you? Hehe"

Langga ❤️: "Merry Christmas from my fam to yours Langga. Wow naman kaya pala ha may pa surprise pala ang Langga ko"

Nag send din pala ako ng greeting kay Luigi but as usual, di sya nagrereply sa txts ko. Hayy I miss my best friend.

The following day, Jema sent me a pic. It was a jewelry box with a necklace inside. The pendant was a letter "D".

Langga ❤️: "I got it na Langga. Thank you so much. It's beautiful"

I bought it here talaga sa Cebu from one of the most prestigious jewelers in the city, Odysseus Suarez.

Me: "You're welcome my Lalang. Promise me lagi mo yang isusuot ha. So they will know that you belong to 'D' 😉"

Langga ❤️: "Of course Langga. Always"

Nang makabalik ako ng Manila, puspusan naman ang training namin for the finals.

Hindi na kami masyadong nakakapagkita ng Langga ko. But she's very supportive naman.

I'm so thankful because she's very understanding and very maalaga din. Minsan she will bring food for me and the team after practice.

Tuwang tuwa naman ang mga teammates ko sa palibreng pagkain haha mga patay gutom talaga.

Alam na din ng team nya ang about sa amin. They were very supportive lalo na si ate Jia.

And then Game Day finally came. Kabadong kabado ako. Lalo na at makakalaban namin ang UST. Team nila Mafe.

Na meet ko na pala si Mafe on several occasions. Napakakulit na bata and to my delight, palagi nyang inaasar si Jema haha

No hard feelings naman kami ni Mafe kahit ano man ang kalalabasan ng game and Jema is equally supportive with the both of us.

Nahirapan kami sa kalaban namin. Masyadong magagaling din ang players nila lalo na ang kapwa ko Cebuana na si Sisi Rondina.
