Today is the day!
Today, March 20, 2022 is the Leni-Kiko Grand Rally at Emerald St., Pasig City.
Leni is not opening her social media accounts if she is on the field or at rallies but her daughters are active on social media.
"Wow." Jorge gasped
Leni who was cooking their lunch looked at Jorge and asked
"Ano yun, anak?"
Jorge came to her mom and showed her the instagram photos from people who are in Pasig.
"Ang aga pa po ma pero ang dami-dami na po nila." Jorge told her
"Alam mo, lagi akong nagugulat sa mga tao kasi kahit saan tayo magpunta, ang dami-dami nila." Leni told her youngest daughter
"So, sure win na tayo nito sa May 9, ma?" Jorge jokingly said
"Magkampaya muna tayo." Leni told her and they both laughed
"Aba, ang saya naman ng mag-ina." Aika teased when she entered the kitchen door
Leni and Jorge looked at her and then Leni answered her
"Ito kasing kapatid mo, sinasabing sure win na daw tayo. Ang sabi ko naman, mangampanya muna tayo."
Aika thought that what her mom said wasn't really funny at all but she shrugged it off because she knows that her mom just missed their bunso.
"Ma, nga po pala. Doon nalang po ba kami didiretso sa Emerald?" Aika asked their mom
"Oo naman. Doon na kayo maghintay sa Emerald." Leni answered
"Okay po." Aika thanked her mom and went out of the kitchen
"Ikaw bunso, gusto mo bang sumama sa akin sa city hall ng Pasig para mag-courtesy call kay Mayor Vico?" Aika overheard her mom asking Jorge
"May bago na namang favorite." Aika thought to herself
"Talaga po ma? Oo naman po. Gustong-gusto ko pong sumama." Jorge answered
"Sige. Alis tayo after lunch ha kasi 2 PM ang schedule ko with Mayor Vico." Leni told her daughter
"Okay po." Jorge replied
Leni continued cooking their lunch and Jorge was preparing the blueberry cheesecake that they bought for dessert when Leni remembered something.
"Bunso?" Leni called Jorge
Jorge went to her mom and stopped what she is doing.
"Ma?" she replied
"I remember kagabi na nauna ka sa van at parang wala ka sa mood. Is there something wrong?" Leni asked
Jorge was surprised at Leni's question. She didn't expect that her mom even noticed what she did last night.
"Ah. Nothing ma, I was a bit tired kasi galing tayo nun sa Zamboanga. I am not used to travel like that." Jorge answered
Leni looked at Jorge and found her looking down. Leni was not convinced on her daughters' answer.
"Bunso. Look at me in the eyes and tell me what happened. Ina ako, at alam ko kung may ibang nararamdaman ang anak ko. Ramdam ko kung nasasaktan ka. Sabihin mo sa akin ang totoo." Leni told her
Jorge looked at Leni's eyed and started to cry. Leni looked at her and felt pity for her.
"Hayaan niyo po muna akong umiyak ma. Please don't ask me if this is more painful than papa's demise kasi hindi ko po naramdaman yung sakit na yun dahil hindi ko siya kilala noong nawala siya." Jorge told Leni
Leni was surprised at what her daughter just said. She suddenly questioned herself, her way of bringing up her children.
"Am I too hard on them?" Leni questioned herself
"No, anak. I'm sorry. I will not ask you that thing. Just tell me what happened." she said with sincerity
Jorge looked at her surprised and let out all her heartaches to her mama.
Leni felt pity for her daughter.
"Anak, I'm sorry. You don't deserve to feel excluded and you don't deserve to feel this way. Kaunting tiis nalang. Can you hold on for 2-3 months more? You know that we are already in the momentum of our rallies and campaigns. Let's secure the presidential elections first, and I promise, you will not be denied in public anymore." Leni told her youngest daughter and embraced her
"I understand ma, masyado lang kasing masakit minsan kaya parang gusto ko nalang na huwag sumama kasi naiinggit lang ako sa mga ate ko na malayang makasama kayo sa harap ng media o sa taas ng entablado samatalang ako, dapat nasa gilid lang. Naiintindihan ko na hindi ko pa oras and thank you for not invalidating my feelings." Jorge told her mom and hugged her back
"You are home now, bunso. I am always with you and I promise you that I will give you all the love that you deserve in the world and promise ni mama, babawi ako this time basta sumama ka lang lagi sa akin para kahit papano ay may quality time tayo kahit sa campaigns." Leni told her and kissed her head
This sweet and emotional moment was witnessed by Aika and Tricia who were looking at them through the glass door.
When Leni let go of the hug, the two elder daughters went away from the glass door and talked about what just happened.
"Ate, ngayon ko lang nakita si mama na ganyan ka soft at ganyan ka empathetic. She has always been sympathetic but the empathy that we have witnessed right now is so different." Tricia told Aika
"Wow Patty ha, English yun. Di ka nagi-English dito sa bahay." Aika teased her sister
"Ate naman. Seryoso na ako e." Tricia said
"Kidding aside, Patty. Ngayon ko lang din nakita si mama na ganyan. I guess, the bad cops' heart was softened dahil kay bunso." Aika told Tricia
"Sana tuloy-tuloy na." Tricia said
A few moments later, Jorge came out of the kitchen and prepared the table for lunch.
"Kain na po tayo, mga ate. Tapos na po si mama sa niluluto niya, sinasalin nalang po." Jorge told Aika and Tricia
Aika went over to Jorge and placed her arms over Jorge's shoulder.
"Thank you, bunso." Aika told her
"Thank you po, saan Ate Aiks?" Jorge asked
"Thank you kasi dahil sa iyo, unti-unti nang lumalambot si mama. Mas nagiging affectionate and touchy na siya." Aika told her
"Wala po yun." Jorge answered
A few moments later, Leni came out of the kitchen with the viand in her hands.
"Lunch na!" Leni announced and they shared their lunch happily

Hello! Sorry for the delayed UD. Alam kong hinahanap niyo na ako. Ito na, ginalaw ko na ang baso. Been busy with the house-to-house campaigns lately. Alam niyo naman na bilang Jorgina, kailangan kong tulungan si Malens sa kampanya para masigurado natin ang panalo sa May 9.
Will try to UD as much as I can until Wednesday and I will be on hiatus on Thursday until Saturday to contemplate during this Holy Week.
Happy reading everyone!
Ciao!
