Leni and Risa didn't know that they doze off earlier. Risa was the first one to wake up and when she checked her phone, it was already 5 PM. She checked her messages but she also did not receive any texts from her daughter who was with Jorge strolling around Baguio City.

She laid on her side and faced Leni while sleeping. She smiled looking at her peacefully sleeping face. Then she traced Leni's face by her fingers and said

"Sleeping Beauty."

Then she touched Leni's lips and she is so tempted to kiss it but she does not want to wake her up yet so she just kept appreciating her beauty by staring at it as if it was a great art masterpiece.

"Kung ikaw ang makakasama ko habang-buhay at ang mukha mo ang una kong masisilayan. paggising ko sa umaga, wala na akong ibang hihilingin pa. Mahal na mahal kita, Leonor at alam ko na hindi ko pagsisisihan ang pagtakbo sa sarili kong kasal." she said talking to Leni while the latter is sleeping

"I love you so much, langga." she said and kissed Leni's nose

She was about to get out of the bed when Leni grabbed her right arm.

"I love you more, langga." Leni said

Risa was frozen in shock when she heard Leni say it. Leni sat on the bed a few moments later.

"Oh bakit para kang nakakita nang multo?" Leni asked

Risa turned around to face her.

"Kanina ka pa ba gising?" Risa asked

Leni nodded.

" So you mean, narinig mo yung sinabi ko kanina?" Risa asked again and Leni nodded

"Oh my god." Risa said and covered her face in embarassment

"Nahiya ka pa talaga na narinig ko yung sinabi mo pero hindi ka nahiyang maghubad sa harapan ko kanina." Leni told her and smirked

Risa suddenly noticed the paper bag at the foot of the bed.

"Nag-shopping ka?" she asked Leni

"Hindi." Leni replied

"Bakit may uniqlo paper bag dito?" she asked her

"Mga damit mo yan. Pinabili ko sa mga bata at pina-laundry na rin nila. That's good for 3 days na stay natin dito. At pinabilhan na rin kita nang tsinelas." Leni replied

"Aww. Thank you, Lens." she said thanking Leni

"Now, Senator Hontiveros, prepare yourself for dinner. Nandiyan na rin yung dadamitin mo. I'll just call my staff and Aika." Leni said and left Risa inside the room

While Risa was preparing herself, she readied as well but she used the room that Jorge is using so as not to disturb Risa. She also wants to be surprised on how Risa will fit the dress that the girls picked for her.

After preparing herself, she went down wearing the same dress that she used for the CNN Presidential Debates. She then went directly to the kitchen to check on her daughter.

"Anak, kumusta ka na riyan?" she asked upon entering the kitchen

Jorge and Anje gasped upon seeing her. Her daughter almost dropped the spatula that she is holding.

"Nak, ang OA ha." she told Jorge

"Ma, anong OA? Kung sino mang makakakita sa'yo ngayong gabi, sigurado akong mai-inlove agad." her daughter responded

"Sige na. Thank you. Ano na pala progress nang luto mo?" she asked

"Luto na po yung kaldereta ala Jorgina Robredo, yung sauce po nang aking authentic Italian carbonara ay ready na rin at papakuluan ko nalang mamaya ang pasta. Then ang aking authentic Argentinian empanada ay luto na rin po. Ito nalang pong steak ang need tapusin." Jorge replied
