2 am
Alas dos na natapos ang party, at sa sobrang busy ni Bong sa kakaikot at pakikipag usap sa mga guests, napadami na din ang inom niya.
He was so drunk, bordering on being wasted.
Sa totoo lang ayaw naman talaga sana niyang uminom, pero dahil may iniiwasan siyang mangayari, he kept on hopping from one table to another para makipag kamustahan at syempre, bawat table na puntahan niya, inaalok siyang mag cheers.
15 tables and 15 cheers di pa kasama ang mga nag alok ng wine habang nakatayo siya at nakikipag usap, aba sino namang hindi malalasing!
All because he wanted to avoid any sweet interactions with you know who.
So when the party ended, lasing na lasing na talaga siya.
When FL noticed, agad niyang nilapitan si Bong.
"Hon you're drunk! Time to go home" sabi niya sabay hawak sa braso ni Bong.
When she did that, agad namang napalingon si Bong sa kanya.
He looked at her straight in the eyes and spoke.
"Sige go ahead susunod nalang ako."
He said in a cold tone.
Liza knew Bong so well. Kahit mabait ito, when he says something, he definitely means it. At kung mangungulit siya, siguradong mag aaway lang sila and she knows that! pero iba na kasi ngayon, If this happened before the campaign started, she would have been fine in leaving Bong alone at the party but for some reason, her woman instinct is telling her that something is up with Bong.
Hindi na kasi normal ang kinikilos nito recently. Masyado ng madistansya at masyadong cold.
Ibang iba sa Bong na nakilala niya dati at malakas ang kutob niya kung bakit.
Alam naman niyang more of companionship and growing old together nalang ang relasyon nila especially when they stopped being intimate years ago.
However, in the back of her mind, that's quite normal for a couple who's growing old together. Besides, they're both in their 60s.
Pero malakas talaga ang pakiramdam niya na may kinalolokohang iba si Bong and not just anyone but someone close to him.
When Liza thought of that, she insisted on staying.
"Sige hon, just wrap it up I'll wait for you."
When Bong heard her, agad siyang napa kunot noo.
Then he answered,
"If you insist, then let's go"
Sabi ni Bong sabay lakad palabas habang nakakapit pa din si Liza sa kanya.
Although he obliged, halata sa mukha ni Bong that he was not happy.
They sat quietly in the car as they made their way to the palace.
When they got to their residence, Bong didn't say a word.
He immediately went to their room, changed his clothes, washed his face, brushed his teeth and went to bed.
He then faced the left side of the bed and quickly closed his eyes to avoid any argument.
Alam niya kasing Liza might confront him about what happened at the party at ayaw na niyang makipagtalo pa dito so he pretended to be asleep.
Little did he know, she had other plans.
15 minutes after Bong went to bed, Liza joined him.
Everything was fine and normal until she moved closer to Bong, hugged his waist and started caressing his chest while her face was buried on his back.
