She breath heavily as she heard people at the other side of the curtain talking excitedly and waiting for the entrance of their president and first lady.
She's wearing a modern filipiniana gown that matches the color of her skin. She felt him standing beside her. "After an hour of socializing with them, I want to rest" her husband said.
Leni did not answer because she knew that she will stay much longer than him. It's her joy to speak with locals so she can inform herself to what the people needs.
"Don't do anything that will make front page again" Bongbong reminded her. "You mean, I shouldn't be delightful" she said calmly.
"Don't twist my words Leni, you know what I mean" Leni stay silent as they heard the announcer start his introduction.
"Please welcome, President Bongbong and First Lady Leni Marcos"
"You mean, don't do anything that will hurt your mistress" she uttered and proceed to walk forward and wave.
Bongbong caught off guard but he manage to recover easily. He rest his hand on Leni's waist as part of his act and started waving. Leni notice the hesitation in Bongbong's touch.
While they were mingling, Leni saw her. The woman that Bongbong really loves. She's talking with other people but then her gaze went to Bong. When Leni looks at Bong, he's smiling at her.
She felt her heart break into million pieces but she cannot show other people that her husband is stabbing her heart at the moment. Then a woman approach her and introduce herself to her. Leni couldn't focus but still manage to smile.
She still looks at the Bong and his mistress. In her surprise, the mistress walk to Bong's location and she saw their pinky finger touch really really fast, like nothing happened.
But Leni saw everything, "maraming maraming salamat first lady sa patuloy na pag tulong mo sa community natin" she shift her focus to the local and gave them the warmest smile.
After an hour, Bongbong approached Leni and whispered to her ear. "Let's go home" he said. Leni smile as she saw the cameras are focused on them.
She decided to go home with him so she could talk to Bong about the incident earlier. They said their goodbyes and when they got inside the car Bongbong rest his head on the car's headrest.
Leni sighed and pull herself together then she speak, "if you want to flirt with your mistress maybe you can do it in private, mahiya ka naman at madaming naka tingin saatin kanina" she said calmly.
Bongbong did not even flinch or open his eyes for that matter, "don't start Leni, I'm tired" he said.
Leni looks at the window, "I know how much you love her Bong, she's the only person that reminds you of the person that you were before"
Bongbong open his eyes and looks at her, "and who is that person?" He asked sharply. "The person who was free and happy. Now, you're just a puppet trying to prove himself" Leni retorted still looking at the window.
"You don't know anything—"
"Oh I know everything" Leni said as she turn her head to him, "I just don't say anything" she continue.
They look at each other's eyes, no one's willing to back down. "I'm not asking you to leave Cressida. All I'm asking is for you to respect me, at least when I'm around. Zip your pants because I don't want people to know what you are doing behind our marriage" she said sharply almost loudly.
