The Deal (Bong x Leni Fanfic)

Chapter 5

Leni's POV

Ever since nangyari yung gabi, Bong became cold towards me. He doesn't acknowledge me anymore. When he's going to be late, he's not texting anymore.

Naiintindihan ko naman eh. Nasaktan ko siya kaya talagang ganun ang magiging paki tungo niya saakin.

I heard na merong bagyo ngayon sa Tacloban kaya panay panay ang hingi ko ng update. Hindi pa ako maka tulog hanggat di ko alam kung anong nangyayari. I kept on asking my staff to update me of what's going on.

It's already 3 in the morning pero hindi ako mapakali. I really want to talk to Bong. Kailangan naming mag coordinate dalawa regarding this tragedy. He's not even going out of his room.

I decided to finally knock on his door. I'm living with the president, that kind of privilege should not be wasted.

"Sino yan?"

"It's me" binuksan niya yung pinto and nagulat ako na he's just wearing his sando and his boxer.

"Aren't you going to change?" I asked

"Why? This is my bedroom"

"Oh okay. Wow. Anyway, have you heard the typhoon? Madami na ang namatay sa Tacloban. Can't we do something?" Kumunot yung noo niya at binuksan na niya ng buo yung pinto signaling for me to come in, so I did.

"I'm already working on it VP"

"VP?" I'm kinda sanay na na tinatawag niya ako sa pangalan ko. Kaya nagulat akong tinawag niya kong VP.

"Yes, you're my VP diba? We are just doing our job"

"Bong you don't have to do that"

"Do wha? Protect my heart?"

"Bong, I — I don't know how to explain but we are going to be the modern Romeo and Juliet. We cannot be together"

"And why not?" Tumayo siya at lumapit sakin.

"Nasa opposition ako Bong." That's all I can say to him. Hoping he would understand my sentiments.

"You are killing me Leni" that made my heart shuttered.

"Bong ..."

"Just leave, I'm monitoring the situation" he said to me tapos tumalikod na siya saakin. It's my cue to leave his bedroom.

Pag ka labas ko, I contacted my staff to let them know na pupunta ako sa site. I asked them to get me a chopper. We will bring donations as much as we can. The Filipino people need our help.

Bong's POV

I did not sleep at all last night. I was awake the whole time talking to a lot of people and thinking about Leni. I cannot wait to finish this month so she could be done in our agreement.

I go downstairs to get some coffee and eat breakfast. I kept on looking at the stairs, she should be here by now. It's here morning routine to make breakfast for the kids.

"Manang asan si Leni?" I asked Manang Esther. I couldn't wait any longer.

"Ay umalis Bong kaninang madaling araw pero nilutuan niya na ang mga bata at naka ready na din yung mga pinasasagutan niyang activities sakanila"

"Saan siya pumunta?"

"Hindi ko alam pero ang narinig ko nag pakuha siya ng chopper" binaba ko yung kutsara at tiniro na nag make noise all over the room. It's not even my intention na mag damog.
