When Leni and her daughters arrived at Malacanang after her dinner date with Risa, Jorge immediately rushed to her while she was changing her clothes.

"Ma!" the youngest Robredo girl called her

"Yes, anak?" Leni asked her

"Omg ma, tingnan mo." Jorge said and showed Leni her twitter feed

"Ano yan?" Leni asked

"Ma, #LenRisa and #LenRisaLayag is trending on twitter!" Jorge exclaimed

Leni opened her twitter app and saw tweets about her and Risa. There was one article that said "IS THE SENATE PRESIDENT, THE PRESIDENT'S LOVER?" and another article said "WHAT IS THE REAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENATE PRESIDENT RISA HONTIVEROS AND PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO?"

Jorge was reading the tweets that are on her feed.

"Omg. #LenRisa is real."

"So true nga ang chika na Senri and Malens are dating irl? #LenRisaLayag."

"True nga ang chika noong inauguration na wala nang lulubog na barko because my ship, #LenRisa is sailing!"

"So happy for Malens and Mama Ris. Finally! Ginalaw na ang baso. #LenRisaLayag."

"Totoo ngang ang kababaihan ay para sa kababaihan #LenRisa."

There are some tweets repeating what Leni read on the placards during the campaign.

"LENI, Lawyer, Ekonomista, Naninindigan, I love you, Sen. Risa!"

"Kung ang Bisaya ng beautiful ay gwapa, crush kita Senator Risa."

"Senator Risa, I love you."

"Kung sila may JenLisa, ako may LenRisa."
"Kung si Jennie may Lisa, si President Leni naman ay may Senator Risa."

"Omg ma. You are all over twitter." Jorge exclaimed

"Ano ba ang basis nila sa mga kwentong iyan? Bakit kumalat?" Leni asked

"I think may nakakita sa inyo kanina ni mama Risa sa Batasan, ma. May picture pa po na kumalat noong hinalikan niyo siya sa lips." Aika replied while entering her mom's room

"These stories won't die down until you and mama Risa speak to the media and grace them an interview." Tricia added when she arrived and Jill also went inside their mom's room

"Ano na po ang gagawin natin?" Jill asked

Leni looked at her daughters and she can see that they are also worried about the situation that she put them and Risa in right now.

"Wala kayong dapat na gawin. You do not have to speak to the media. Let me and Risa handle this one." Leni said

"Speaking of Risa, I need to call her." she added and dialed Risa's number

"Hello Theresia." she greeted when Risa picked up the phone

"Oh. Maria Leonor." Risa replied

"Have you seen the news? The articles and the talk on social media?" she asked her

Risa stayed silent for a while on the other line.

"Yes Lens, I saw them and I read them one by one." Risa replied

"I'm sorry Ris, nadamay ka pa tuloy. Hindi kasi ako nag-ingat eh. Hindi ko alam na may media pa pala doon sa loob ng session hall noong hinalikan kita." Leni told her

"No, Lens. You do not have to apologize. Kasama mo ako sa laban na ito and we will face this issue together." Risa replied assuring Leni that she will not abandon her
