Narrator's POV
Two months have passed, and in the two months, Kesner courted Marcella.
After his practice, Kesner would go to the café and wait for Marcella and accompany her to her apartment. Sometimes they would go to the park and eat outside. Every weekend, they would go on a date.
They sometimes have misunderstandings, but they would talk it out, and they would reconcile after.
Every day, Kesner would show how much he loves Marcella. The same goes for Marcella too.
Today is the basketball game. Kesner and his team are in their locker room and waiting for the game to start.
Kesner's POV
I am now in the locker room with my team and the coach. We are getting ready and wait for the cue if the game is about to start.
I texted Marcella if she is here already, then she replied that she is here already, and she is seated at the front. She also texted me good luck. That reply makes me happy and wants to do my best at the game.
"Oh, someone has a different smile in his face,"
"Let me guess, is it your girlfriend,"
"Not yet,"
"Introduce her to us,"
"Later"
"Guys, let's go," the coach said.
We form a circle and perform our ritual every before the game starts.
"Let's do our best today, guys. I believe in you all. Let's aim for victory,"
"Ok"
"1.2.3. Let's go, team!"
After that, we went outside our locker and went to court.
Marcella's POV
Today is the basketball game.
It's been two months that Kesner started courting me. Kesner is such a sweet guy. Every day, he would show how much he loves me. We have misunderstandings, and it is normal, but we would talk it out, and it's solved. We don't want to complicate things,
I am planning to say yes and be his girlfriend today. Maybe after the game.
The game is about to start. I saw Kesner and his teammates already.
After an hour and a half of playing, Kesner's team is leading. They are going to win because it's already 60 seconds on the clock, and they have a 10 points difference in the scores. Kesner throws lots of 3 points shots. I a so proud of him.
At the end of the game, Kesner's team wins. Lots of people are cheering for their victory. I quickly go to him and hug him.
"Congratulations on winning. I know your team would win"
"Thank you, Marcella. Your one of my lucky charms,"
"Uhum? PDA alert"
We didn't notice that there are lots of people here. We stop hugging each other.
"Sorry"
"It's ok, you two. Is that the girl, Kesner,"
"Yes. Marcella, meet my teammates. Guys, meet Marcella,"
"I'm his girlfriend,"
"Girlfriend? We thought you are still courting her?"
"Not anymore because I'm glad to say that I'm his girlfriend now,"
"Congratulations, man. Double celebration for today,"
"Come on, guys, let's celebrate our victory," the coach said.
Kesner's teammates and their coach already went to their locker room, leaving Kesner.
"Are you serious earlier, Marcella?"
"Yup. I will not repeat it,"
"Thank you so much, Marcella. You made me the happiest man alive," Kesner said and hugged me.
"I know. Go and change now. I will be waiting here,"
"Ok"
I can't believe this. When I was in college, I would still glance at Kesner, he confessed and courted me when we saw each other again, and now I am Kesner's girlfriend. I can say that I no longer a hopeless romantic.
I thank the spirit orb because it all started when it appears in front of me and grant my wish, which is in my bucket list.
I waited for them to come out. A few minutes later, they all came out.
"Let's go," Kesner said and holds my hand.
We went to a food house to celebrate their victory. They ordered lots of food.
"To our victory and for Kesner and Marcella's relationship,"
We all had fun eating, talking, and laughing.
