Leni and Risa arrived at the floor to where Risa's new condo unit is. She moved to a new condo a few years ago after retiring early, she lives in Pasig now. 

Hampton Gardens is her new condo at Floor 34. She still lives alone but is accompanied with one cat named after Leni so she doesn't feel lonely by Leni's presence just with a cat named after her.

The two were just silently walking towards Risa's own condo unit as Leni was carrying one paper bag filled with Risa's medicines they bought from SM. 

It didn't took long till they arrive in front of Risa's door as she grabs her keys to open it and going inside of the unit after. 

They were immediately greeted by Risa's Ragdoll breed cat with a pink collar that has a dangling silver piece with the name carved on it; it was "Leon".

"Hi Leon! Mama's home!" The cat would eventually jump up into Risa's arm as Leon rubs her head at Risa's arm and purring.

Leni closes the door behind them as she was just looking at the two cuddling up, smiling at the sight of them, "Sa'n ko lalapag 'tong mga gamot mo?" she asked.

"Kahit sa table nalang, salamat," Risa answering as she sat on the couch, Leni also placing the paper bag of medicines above the dining table. 

After that, Leni turned around to watch Risa and her cat Leon just playing and cuddling. She smiled at the thought that the cat is named after her.

Leni would eventually walk towards the couch as well to sit beside Risa and to also look at the cat; the cat is really beautiful and has long fur.

"Pinangalanan mo pala siyang Leon," Leni utters.

Risa chuffs as she kept petting the cat, "Yeah. Named after you. And pinili ko rin pink collar because the color pink reminds me of you kaya I don't really feel lonely here sa condo unit ko," she said.

Even though Leni pushed Risa away and left without further hesitation, Risa still made ways on how to feel Leni's presence even if she's away for 2 decades.

Buying pink stuff, naming a cat after Leni, playing Leni's favorite songs. Just, everything as she wait for Leni to come back.

When Risa loves, she will love hard and pure. And now, Leni is kinda feeling guilty for not even thinking a second about her choices and decisions. She left too soon and pushed Risa away because of something that isn't Risa's fault.

But what can we say? Leni was also hurt that time and her thread that held all her reserved emotions from way way back finally snapped that made her impulsive with her decisions and actions.

But now, the two has healed from that situation. Leni is comfortable around Risa again, while Risa is still the same around Leni but add the developing illness she has right now.

Leni smiled, "Ah, I see. Can I?" Leni asking if she can pet the cat, Risa nodded straight away.

"Oh sure! Mabait naman 'tong si Leon. No worries. Kumpleto sa vaccines and kakagroom lang," As soon as Risa agreed, Leni started petting the cat gently so Leon can be comfortable around Leni.

Leon would also rub the side of her mouth at Leni's hand, telling Leni that she trusts her. That made Leni smile as this was the only time she would pet a cat again. 

"Ang cute.. anong breed nito? Ang lago ng balahibo eh," Leni asking upon continuing the cat petting session, "Ragdoll siya, cutie diba? Binigay lang 'to sa akin ni Kiko para raw may kasama ako sa condo."
