"Kain muna tayo Pangga bago bumalik ng hotel. Sabi mo kanina hindi kana kumakain at natutulog, e."

"Okay pa naman ako. Pahinga na tayo." Leni answered.

"Ayan ka nanaman. Hindi. Kakain muna tayo." Risa insisted.

"Oo na po, senator Risa. Alam ko namang hindi mo rin lang ako titigilan."

Risa and Leni went to the nearest 24/7 cafeteria. While driving, Risa noticed that Leni was silenced and thought maybe she was just tired and sleepy.

"Are you okay, 'ga?" Risa asked while caressing Leni's left hand.

Leni smiled and nodded.

"I am now. Kasama na kita, e."

Risa smiled happily.

At the cafeteria, they ordered and started to eat as soon as their food arrived.

"Galit ka ba sa'kin, 'ga?" Risa asked worriedly.

"Hindi. In the first place, hindi naman kita masisisi kung ganoong sitwasyon naabutan mo. Kahit sino naman siguro, yun din maiisip. Pero pinag-alala mo ako ng sobra. Pati na rin ang mga bata."

"Oo nga pala. Oh my god! Pwede pahiram phone, pangga? Tawagan ko lang si Ianna."

"Here. Pero don't worry. Nung papunta ako dito tinawagan ko na din sila. Sinabi kong alam ko na kung nasa'n ka."

"Thank you, 'ga. Saglit lang, ha. Kain ka lang dyan."

Risa talked to Ianna for a while and continued eating after.

"Oo nga pala. How did you find me?" Risa asked since she really couldn't hide her curiosity.

"I didn't. Rona did. Nung unang araw, tinawagan ko lahat ng pwedeng tawagan baka sakaling alam nila kung nasa'n ka. Hanggang sa wala akong napala so nakiusap na ako kay Rona na tulungan ako."

"You mean, you used your connections?"

Leni nodded.

"Oh my god! Sorry 'ga."

"Well, it's okay. Ang importante naman talaga mahanap ka."

Risa bowed her head.

"Sorry talaga 'ga. Hindi na mauulit."

"Sorry lang, Ana Theresia? Hindi 'to madadala ng sorry lang."

Risa looked up to Leni and Leni smirked.

"Oh god.." Risa uttered understanding what Leni meant.

Leni laughed.

"Oy biro lang." Leni said.

"Ay? Pwes ako di nagbibiro. Akala ko ba tototohanin natin yung ilusyon ko?"

Leni laughed even more.

"Sira! Pero sige. Pwede rin naman."

Risa bit her lip.

"Bilisan mo na ng kain. Excited na ako." Risa said.

Leni just shook her head.

After they ate, Leni and Risa went to the hotel where Risa was staying.

"Alas tres na pala. Mauna kana magshower, 'ga. Ayusin ko lang gamit ko nang hindi na ako mataranta mamaya bago umuwi."
