Leni went to Ikea to buy things for her daughter's bedroom. Nag request si Natasha ng mga bagong bedsheets and other stuff pero wala itong oras mamili kaya si Leni nalang ang pinapunta niya.
Leni likes to do things for Natasha. Since she got older, she rarely ask for her help. Leni asked Risa to come with her so they could also catch up. She needs distraction more than ever.
While they were walking, people recognized them and asked Leni for picture. She gladly took photos with them. Risa pull her out immediately because they cannot shop properly.
"Halika na dito, aabutin tayo hanggang mamayang gabi kaka picture. Sarado na Ikea di ka pa din nakaka bili ng kailangan ng anak mo"
"Sorry Ris, nag enjoy ako kausap mga tao eh"
"I know, i know kaya nga halika na" while they were shopping, they heard someone call them.
"Ma'am Leni?" Leni looks at the person who just talked, she thought it's a civilian who would like to take a picture but it turns out, it's Louise.
"Louise..." she said. Risa cover her mouth because of frustration. We couldn't catch a break! She thought.
Louise gave her a beso "Buti na pa daan ka dito. Kamusta ka naman?"
"Ah okay lang, si Risa nga pala"
"Ay yes, senator nice to meet you" Louise exchange pleasantries with Risa and Leni.
"Could I offer you a coffee?" Louise asked.
"Ah madami pa kasi kami—"
"I think we have to talk" Louise cuts her off.
Leni looks at Risa. Hindi nila alam parehas kung ano ba ang kailangan nilang pag usapan pero it will only go down to one thing, Bongbong.
"Sige na Lens, ako na bahala mamili ng needs mo. Text nalang kita kung saan tayo mag kikita" Risa said.
Leni and Louise went to a coffee shop without uttering any single word.
They choose alfresco dine in, so they could have fresh air. While waiting for their coffee, they both felt the awkwardness between them until Louise talk, "I don't know kung paano mo nalaman ang tungkol saamin noon ni Bong" she started. Leni just looks at her and listen attentively to what she's going to say.
"I just want to say ma'am na kung ano man ang meron samin ni Bong, matagal na yun. That was years ago."
"Then why are you here again?" Leni asked
"Dahil sa projects na inooffer ng government and I would like to help since ang tagal ko ng nag stay sa London. I thought it's about time na bigyan naman ng tulong ang mga kapwa ko Pilipino" she said
"Why are you so nice to me Louise?" She cannot wait any longer to ask that question.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, your relationship ended because of me"
"Yes for the Filipino people"
"You cannot be that makata"
"And why not? I saw kung paano nag patayan ang mga leaders natin noon para sa posisyon, kung makaka tulong ako sa marami kahit ako ang masaktan, isn't that worth it?" Leni was speechless. She did not expect Louise to be like this.
"Alam mo ba nung una kaming mag kita ni Bong sinabi niya sakin na ikaw ang mahal niya. You were the invisible woman in our relationship. Lagi kong iniisip na ikaw ang babaeng gusto niyang makasama at hindi ako. I closed my heart for him dahil alam kong darating ang panahon na ikaw ang pipiliin niya" Leni confessed.
"Ma'am, this is not the first time na nag kita kami ni Bong after 20 years. We saw each other years ago and we had a chance to revisit our relationship. I actually tried to persuade him to leave you because I still loved him" hindi alam ni Leni kung saan niya ibabaling ang tingin niya dahil sa nalaman niya.
"pero alam mo, sinabi niya sakin, he will not leave you kahit anong mangyari kasi mahal ka niya" Louise said softly.
"Madaming pag kakataon para hiwalayan ka ni Bong, lalo nung namatay parehas ang mga daddy niyo pero hindi niya ginawa." Louise pause for a while letting Leni absorb all the information she just learned.
"Ikaw ang pinili niya" Louise continued.
"I'm already married Ma'am. May dalawa na din akong anak." Then she showed Leni her wedding ring na ngayon lang napansin ni Leni.
"Naging mag kaibigan nalang kami ni Bong. Wala siyang balak iwan ka." Hindi pa din maka pag salita si Leni dahil sa mga nalaman niya.
"Ma'am sana hindi ma sayang ang sakripisyo ko para sainyong dalawa. Sana makita mo kung gaano ka kamahal ni Bongbong."
