Today's the day!
The President will be home from his six-day visit in the US. It was only 6 days but it felt so long. I have been very busy, too, working as the country's OIC. I was like a single parent carrying all the burden of my children, and I never knew I needed his companionship so much that I long for him and his leadership.
I woke up early and prepared myself— put on a clean formal clothes and a pretty bare face. But of course, I can't go a day without doing my brows. I couldn't dare.
We are now patiently waiting for his arrival. Inside me is a pounding heart that's mixed with nervousness and excitement. Buti nalang at may mga opisyales naman ang nakipag-usap muna sa akin para naman makahinga ako ng konti.
Natigil ang pakikipag-usap ko nang tawagin kami upang gumawa ng mahabang linya para salubungin siya.
I breathed a sigh when I saw him waiving his hands at the people around us. When he finally reached us, he took my hand and pulled me to a hug.
"I miss you, love." he whispered.
And that sent shivers to my body. Months have passed since we identified the feelings we have for each other. And we agreed to enter a relationship leaving the people thinking our relationship is nothing beyond political tandem.

I'm standing right now inside then-President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s room, now Bongbong's informal office. (A/N: See Toni G's Malacañang Tour at 7:00)
Nang matapos kami kanina sa NAIA ay nagpasya siyang tawagin kaming lahat para sa isang urgent cabinet meeting. I shook my head. Ferdinand's cheesy tactics.
It's a free morning for me since my time is allotted for his arrival. Kaya ngayon nauna ako dito sa Malacañang kahit na mamaya pa 'yung cabinet meeting.
I looked through some photographs on the desk while waiting for him. Nawala ang ngiti ko nang madaanan ng mata ko ang litrato nilang mag-asawa. At isa pang litrato noong inauguration na kung saan ay kasama ako at kaniyang pamilya. Heck! I don't even know if I look like Bongbong's Vice President, mistress or first daughter. I smirked and shrugged at the thought of it.
Minutes later, narinig ko na ang pagbukas ng pinto. Hudyat ng pagdating ng kaisa-isa. I pushed my cheeks inside using my tongue. Halong saya at inis ang nararamdaman ko. Kasalanan ko rin 'to eh, dahil sa pagiging curious at chismosa ko, na-badtrip tuloy ako.
"Hey..." ani Bongbong.
Narinig ko ang yapak ng kanyang sapatos na papalapit sa akin. Nanatili akong nakatalikod sa kaniya. Hindi ko siya nilingon.
Nakuryente ako nang hawakan niya ang braso ko, "How are you?" Malumanay niyang tanong.
Kahit na-miss ko siya ay hindi ako nagpatinag. That photo destroyed my day.
Nang wala siyang natanggap na sagot ay hinawakan niya pa ako sa kabilang braso, at hinaplos-haplos ito, "What's our problem, love?"
Oh God! Kailan pa ako naging marupok? One simple word washes away all the negativities in me. Napakagat ako sa labi upang pigilan ang ngiti ko.
