At exactly 7:30 a.m., their plane finally entered the territorial waters of the Philippines. Yay! Home!

Let me repeat, yay.. home?

"Rod! Gising!" Imee frantically woke Rodrigo up.

"Yes?" Rodrigo asked

"Nakauwi na tayo.." she said, pero bakit parang nagp-panic.

"Okay.." Rodrigo replied, unbothered.

"ROD, NAKAUWI NA TAYO.." she once again repeated.

"Nasa Pilipinas ka na! Lahat ng ginagawa mo sinusubaybayan ng mga tao.." she reminds.

Oh no.

"Di tayo pwedeng makitang magkasama.. Rodrigo!" she raised her voice.

They got to board the plane early kaya walang nakakakita sa kanila, they were in first class aswell, and it was just them both, buti nalang.

"Anong iisipin ng mga tao? Hm? Wala na si Presidente at si Imee Marcos na talaga!" she said.

"Hindi ba?" he joked.

"Hindi. Ako. Nakikipagbiruan!" she raised her voice.

"Chill out, mahal, eto naman.." Rodrigo uttered trying to calm her out.

"May mga sasakyan nang nakahintay pagkababa na pagkababa ng eroplano. Di tayo makikita.." he said.

"I'm the president-elect, and you're my wife. You are the apparent First Lady of this country. If privacy is what you want, then I'll give that to you.." he added and kissed her forehead.

"Okay? Calm down.." he whispered as he hugged her tight.

At exactly 8:30 a.m., they arrive at the Manila International Airport. And within 30 minutes, they arrive to the Makati residence. They were left dumbfounded to what they go home to - a moving truck infront the house, and Eloise, guiding the movers with what to do.

Imee lowered her window, just enough na di makikitang katabi niya si Rodrigo.

"Eloise. Inside." she ordered.

"Yes, mom? Welcome home!" Eloise greeted as she ran towards her mom.

"What are you doing?" Imee asked as she asked.

"I'm moving out diba.. to the condo.." Eloise replied.

"What condo??" Imee asked.

"Tito Luke's birthday gift for me! You agreed! Deal natin yun!" Eloise reminds.

"Ngayon na ba yun? Bat ang aga naman? And where's your mga kuya? Atleast one should accompany you. The world is scary, darling.." Imee asked one by one.

"Because.. school is starting, and don't worry, Kuya Borgy is coming to help.." Eloise replied.

"Why do you need to move out, hm?" Imee asked as she followed Eloise around the house.

"UST is 25 minutes away from here, eh, may driver namang maghahatid sayo.." dagdag pa neto

"And, UST from the condo is a walk away.. Sayang gas, mommy.." Eloise rebutted.
