Leni's meeting went smoothly, she and Risa were the only ones left at the place where they had the meeting.
"Hindi pa pala tayo nag lu-lunch" Leni said. "Kain na tayo dito, wala naman na kong gagawin sa office." she said.
Risa didn't know what to say, "B-busog pa po ako, kayo nalang po." she said then her stomach grumbled.
"Busog pala ha? sige na order kana ng sayo." Leni said.
Risa couldn't say no anymore, because she was really hungry tho.
Their food arrived, Leni was the first to speak, "Kamusta kana pala?" she asked. "O-okay naman po." Risa answered nervously.
"Risa, can I ask you something? please be honest with me." she said while staring at Risa.
Risa almost spit out the water she was drinking, "A-ano po yon?" she asked.
"Bakit bigla ka nalang nawala?" They are now staring at each other.
Risa couldn't say anything, she could see the pain through Leni's eyes. Risa couldn't bear seeing Leni like this, she wanted to apologize for what she did, but she seemed to have run out of words.
"Nevermind, kain kana ulit." Leni said.
"Leni, I'm so-"
"No, it's okay. Sorry din for asking something like that." Leni said then smiled weakly.
Risa nodded.

They were going back to the office now, Leni suddenly spoke while driving, "Wala naman na pala tayong kailangan gawin sa office, gusto mo ba hatid na kita?" she asked.
Risa was surprised by what Leni said, "Wag na po attorney, okay lang po ako." she answered.
"Ano kaba, hatid na kita. Para hindi ka na din mahirapan maghanap ng masasakyan mamaya, dun padin ba kayo nakatira sa dati?" Leni asked.
Risa shook her head.
"Ohh, dun ka padin sa condo mo?"
"Wala na kong condo, tsaka lumipat na din po kami." Risa said.
"Talaga? kelan pa?" Leni asked.
"Mula nung iniwan kami ni daddy, nakahanap ng ibang pamilya sa ibang bansa eh." she said while lowering her head.
"O-oh, really?" Leni was shocked, "Risa kung kailangan mo pala ng kausap, nandito lang ako ha." Leni felt like she had to say that.
"Thank you Leni, I appreciate that." Risa smiled at her.
Leni smiled too and said, "So, hatid na kita?" she asked again.
"Okay lang po talaga ko, tsaka may dadaanan padin po ako bago umuwi." Risa said.
"Saan ka ba pupunta? Edi dun nalang kita ihahatid."
"Sa hospital, kay Pia." she answered shortly.
Leni was confused, " Si Pia? Sa hospital? Dun sya nag tra-trabaho? Leni asked.
Risa shook her head, "May sakit si Pia, cancer." she took a deep breath before talking again, "Ilang buwan na din syang pabalik balik sa ospital, hindi ko na nga alam kung saan kukuha ng pera eh. Kaya nagpapasalamat talaga ko nung tinanggap mo agad ako."
Leni couldn't speak, she didn't know that Risa was going through something like this.
"Leni? Okay ka lang?" Risa asked.
"H-ha? okay lang ako, samahan na kita puntahan si Pia."
Risa nodded.

They are in the hospital now, Risa slowly opened the door because Pia might be sleeping. When she saw that Pia is awake, she went inside already.
"Hi P, si mama nasan?" Risa asked her sister as soon as she entered the room.
"Lumabas lang saglit, may bibilhin daw." Pia answered her.
"Ah okay, ay oo nga pala, kasama ko si Leni." Risa said as she looked at Leni, "Leni, pasok ka." she said.
"Hi Pia, kamusta?" Leni asked her, naging close din sila ni Pia before kaya nalungkot si Leni nang malaman nyang may sakit si Pia.
"A-attorney, o-okay lang naman po." Pia said.
"Ano ka ba, Leni nalang, wala naman tayo sa opisina eh." she chuckled.
"O-okay po, ate Leni." Pia said.
Leni approached Pia and hugged her, Pia was surprised but she hugged Leni back.
Risa is just watching them, it made her so happy to see Leni and her sister like this. Maybe if they didn't break up, Pia and Leni would still be close to each other. They bonded like sisters before, so when Pia found out that Risa and Leni were no longer together, she was very sad and disappointed.
