Jump Then Fall

He Got My Heartbeat (from my draft)

Leni went home early, she felt exhausted after her usual routine except there's a lot of reporter's tailing her, watching her every move. "Love?" She called.

There's no answer.

"Love?" She called again but no one was answering. She walked further and she heard the music banging on the kitchen. She smiled and went to the kitchen, she knew her husband was there.

She saw him in his apron, mixing something on the pot while vibing to Two of Us of The Beatles. She smirked and started recording him secretly. She then put down her phone and went to back hug him, he was startled  a bit. "Love? You're here na pala?" He said.

She giggled. "Parang ang sarap ng niluluto ng asawa ko ah!"

"Mas masarap yung nagluluto." He winked.

She laughed and tapped his tummy. "Tumigil ka nga!"

He laughed as well. "O bakit? Sa lahat ng tao, ikaw ang makakapagpatotoo kung masarap ba ako or hindi."

She laughed hard. She was crying. "Ewan ko nga sayo! Aatakihin ako kakatawa!"

"Uy huwag naman!" He ride along.

"Ikaw kasi eh!" She wiped her tears as she tried to calm down. He held the hem of his shirt and used it to wipe her tears.

"Kiss." He pouted and leaned to her face. She realized she haven't kiss him yet. She willingly kiss him.

"Isa pa." He didn't even move his face.

She rolled her eyes and leaned to kiss him again.

He gave her another kiss before she was able to move. He giggled.

"How are you, love?" She asked.

"Okay naman. Ikaw? Madami pa din bang media sa opisina nyo?" He asked.

She nodded. "Hindi ko naman pinapansin." She said. "Kailangan natin mag-ingat, love."

He nodded. "I understand, love. Don't worry, hindi pa naman ako nagbibigay ng statement."

She nodded.

Leni went home again in Naga for a jam packed schedule which includes speaking engagements, meetings, and meeting friends. She's spending the whole week there so Bongbong decided to spend every night in Naga too.

"Thank you very much for having me." Leni beamed the moment she sat down on the couch for a discussion. She was in a local university.

"How are you, maam?" The host asked.

"I'm good. Actually, kakarating ko lang from Manila." She said.

They started with the topic. She was seated in the middle of the University President and the City Mayor.

"I became a lawyer at the age of 32 tapos I decided to do NGO work before." The Mayor narrated. "Dun ko nakita yung iba-ibang klase ng tao and how they live their lives. Inspiring yung ground work talaga kaya for me, it's very important that we invest time in doing some ground work. Medyo nakakapagod at time consuming talaga sya, good thing I have a very understanding wife. Talagang nakasuporta sya saakin all throughout my career."

"I actually kinda relate dun sa sinabi ni Mayor." Leni seconded. "Na dapat maglaan talaga tayo ng time for ground work kasi dun mo naman makikita yung totoong sitwasyon eh. Nagkasama kami ni Mayor ng matagal sa NGO before, so talagang fulfilling yung ginagawa namin nun." She said. "Hindi lang siguro ako makarelate dun sa part na may very understanding partner." She jested making everybody cheer.
