"Kung gusto nya makuha, magpakita sya saakin!" Bongbong exclaimed through phone call early in the morning. "Ano bang kinakatakot nya? Bakit ba kasi hindi sya magpahanap saakin?!"

"Sir—"

"Alam mo ba kung nasaan sya Atty.?" He interrupted.

"Sorry sir pero wala po akong idea." Atty. Aynera said.

"Then give me her number." He stipulated.

"Itanong ko po muna—"

Bongbong rolled his eyes. He knew he cannot get it. "Urgh fine fine. Alam ko naman na di mo ibibigay and di ko rin ibibigay sa kanya ang gusto nya."

Call ended.

Bongbong threw his phone on the bed. He's so pissed whenever Atty. Aynera reminded him of something he should've done more than a decade ago. He sighed and buried his face on his hands.

"I'm going to find you, Leni!" He promised to himself.

A few more minutes and he was able to composed himself and finally took a shower. It's a big day today as they will open a branch of their hardware in the City. They owned the leading and largest hardware in the country.

He put on his tux and went outside with Karla, his secretary. As they reached the ground floor, Bongbong saw a teenager talking to the receptionist. He immediately recognized the young lady.

"Emi?" He called.

"Sir!" Emi ran to him.

"What are you doing here?" He beamed at the sight of the young lady. She's still wearing her school uniform.

"Bibigay ko po 'to sainyo. Diba po nag promise po ako na ililibre ko po kayo ng lunch?" Emi was so excited as she handed him a brown paper bag.

He got the bag. "Tara samahan mo ko dun sa cafe! Mag lunch tayo." He ushered her to the restaurant inside the hotel leaving Karla dumbfounded.

"What's in this bag? Wow! Mainit pa!" He beamed as he checked its content. He was sitting across Emi who's watching him happily.

"Wow! Ang dami naman!" He exclaimed in excitement as he unpacked the food containers.

Emi nodded. "Ito po sir yung caldereta with aligue rice, tapos ito naman po yung laing, ito po yung lumpiang ubod, tapos meron pong ginisang monggo." Emi pointed out each container.

He was so excited to try it all. "Mukhang masasarap lahat!"

Emi nodded. "Masasarap po talaga yan lahat, Sir! Lahat po yan best seller!"

"Tikman ko na nga! Nagutom ako bigla dahil sa amoy!" He started to eat the caldereta with the aligue rice which transported him to heaven.

"Sarap naman nito!" He commented. Emi nodded as she sip on her juice. She said she's done eating so she just had lychee flavored juice.

"Ay tikman nyo po yung monggo! Yan po favorite ko sa lahat!" Emi pointed at the ginisang monggo.

He turned silent. He was reluctant.

"Hindi po kayo kumakain ng monggo?" Emi asked.

"Hindi naman sa ganon." He denied. "Sabihin na nating medyo mapili ako pagdating sa luto ng monggo. Meron lang kasi akong preferred na lasa."

Emi nodded. "Ohh ganon po ba? Sayang naman po! Masarap po kasi yan eh. Favorite ko po yan."

"Talaga?" He asked. He wanted to try her favorite too, he knew she's gonna be happy when he tried it. "Tikman ko nga!"
