Make it with You [LenRisa oneshots collection]

Bad dreams, bad dreams go away

Aica, the president's personal assistant, was awoken in the middle of the night when soft whimpers suddenly came out from the woman beside her. She slowly opened her eyes and was met with darkness.

They were currently in Marawi, visting their angat buhay village and instead of settling in a hotel, the president suggested they just stay in one of the houses for the night.

She looked at her phone and saw that it was 12 midnight. She was about to go back to sleep when she heard another soft whimper from the woman beside her. She looked at her and saw the cold sweats forming at her forehead with her brows furrowed.

Worry took over her and decided to wake the woman up.

"Madam President.. ma'am..." she shook the woman lightly

"hmm?"

"Ma'am okay lang po kayo? Gusto niyo po gisingin ko yung iba?" Aica asked. The president slowly opened her eyes and sighed deeply and sat up.

"Aica? hindi ano... okay lang. Bangungot lang, matulog ka na ulit" Leni answered with a smile.

"Sure po kayo ma'am?"

"Oo, sige na matulog ka na ulit. Ako rin matutulog na ulit"

Aica just nodded and they both tried to fo back to sleep. Her worry didn't fade though and it was not helping that she could feel the president toss and turn with heavy breathings.

She finally decided to call for help. Opening her phone, she realized she can't call Aika and Jill as they were both out of the country and Tricia is still on duty. So she resorted to calling someone else instead., the best friend. She was nervous of course, but she couldn't just let the president suffer.

She clicked on the contact and waited for the ringing to end.

"Aica?"

"Hello? Good evening po Senator Risa" she whispered

"Hello, hating gabi na ah? may problema ba?"

"Sorry po, sen... si president po kasi..."

"Ha? why is she okay? anong nangyari?" She could hear the panic in the senator's voice.

"Hala wag po kayo mag panic... okay lang po siya... Kaso binangungot po ata, nag aalala lang po ako"

"...gising ba siya?"

"yes po"

"pwede ko ba siyang makausap" Aica nodded even though the senator couldn't see it.

"Ma'am, Sen Risa's on the phone po" She whispered to the woman beside her who immediately opened her eyes.

"Ris..." Leni whispered on the call

"Bad dream?" Risa asked

"oo, eh..." she sighed deeply

"Sorry love... I wish I was there to give you a hug right now" Risa said, sadness and worry can be heard from her tone.

"Me too, Ris... me too"

"Hmmm... Ay alam ko na! ganto na lang, don't end the call tapos i'll stay here sing or talk to you until you fall asleep? that okay?"

"sure ka ba? hating gabi na rin, alam ko namang pagod ka."

"Di naman ako nakakaramdam ng pagod pag dating sayo. Mas di ako makaka tulog pag alam kong di ka okay" Risa said softly

Leni just hummed in response. Risa started singing if by bread softly and it was enough for calmness to take over Leni. Risa's voice felt like heaven. It gave Leni peace in all ways it can and more. Leni always says this: If comfort and peace was a person, it would be Risa.

That's for her at least. Risa always knew how to make Leni feel safe and she can take all of her worries in an instant. Sometimes, no matter how selfish it would be, she wishes Risa only does it those things for her. She sometimes wishes Risa would comfort only her and make only her feel as special as this. When she finished singing, silence took over them but Leni was still awake.

"Lens?" Risa whispered
"Go to sleep, I'm here"

"Thank you ris..."

"...always, Lens. Always."

With that, Leni started drifting off to sleep.

Unbeknownst to them, Aica was still awake and had witnessed the cute exchange between the two friends. Grinning lightly, she was about to take her phone back but she noticed that the call was still on going.

She glanced at the woman and saw how calmer her expressions was. It made her chuckle and laugh a little.

"Best friends my ass..." She whispered before settling back to her side and going back to sleep.
