"Huh..." Leni muttered.
Sino ba yun?
She was in the middle of signing paperwork and organizing her things when she heard a loud ring from her phone na dali-dali naman nitong pinuntahan dahil nakalagay sa ibabaw ng lamesa at kahit diskumpyado, sinagot niya pa rin ang tawag kahit na hindi naka-phonebook sa kanyang contacts. Yet, when she spoke, agad nitong binaba ang tawag na para bang nagulat sa kanyang boses. She shrugged it off and went back to what she was doing earlier.
"Wait, Pril...so I'm not gonna be attending the last debate?" sambit nito through her laptop screen.
"Opo, advice na rin ho yun ni Sir Bam. Let's just continue what we were doing po, yung mga H2H, mini rallies. May two-three places pa pong dapat puntahan bago mag-end tong campaign season," pagreremind ni April sa kanya.
Leni sighed in relief and reprimanded her assistant before ending the call, "Okay, that's good to hear. Thank you, matulog ka na pagkatapos nito."
Nang natapos ang kanyang Zoom call kasama si April ay agad na pumatong sa kanyang mga binti ang asong si Rocco na halatang nagpapalambing. She stood up from her seat, put her nose against his, and then played and cuddled with him for a considerable amount of time after that. He was the one constant in a world that was otherwise fraught with unpredictability and difficulty for her.
Yet, another ring was executed from her phone.
"Dang it," she muttered under her breath and let go of hugging Rocco, putting him on top of the sofa. Tumayo siya and seeing the same caller from earlier, inis nitong sinagot ang tanong, "Excuse me, if this is a prank call, wala akong pana-"
"Leni," the other line breathlessly uttered.
Halos manlambot ang mga tuhod ni Leni sa boses na narinig, "I-Isko?"
"Yeah...queer coincidence, no?" Isko softly spoke. Pagkatapos na sabihin ni Chiz kung sino ang sumagot sa tawag, hindi siya naniwala kaya't tinawagan niya ito ulit. Now, it was loud and clear that it was definitely her.
"Kaninong number 'to? Sa'yo ba? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" she fired him with questions.
"Hi, Leni," another recognizable voice kicked in, and that's when she realized what the situation was. "Wait, VP. I perfectly know what's going on your mind, pero please wag mo naman kaming bugahan ng apoy. Please don't end the call."
Leni's hands went through her hair as she walked back and forth twice, "Chiz...I don't understand. Anong nangyayari? What's this all about?"
"Alam mong number 'to ni Bongbong, right?" panimulang paglilinaw ni Chiz.
