Love For All

A/N: It's been in my drafts since September 2023.

"What can you say Cong. sa mainit na pagtanggap ng mga taga-Cam. Sur kay PBMM? Knowing it's Cam Sur?" The reporter asked Sandro. Bongbong is in Cam Sur for a ribbon cutting event.

Sandro smiled knowingly. "Uh tayo'y nagpapasalamat saating mga kaibigan sa Cam Sur sa kanilang mainit na pag welcome. Love for all!" He chuckled before going away.

Leni frowned as her music kept on being interrupted because of these notifications. It's Saturday morning in Cam Sur, so she decided to tend to her plants, while doing so, she connected her phone's bluetooth to the speaker for some good music.

"Anong meron?" She asked herself as she removed her gloves and checked on her notifications.

"What the—" she stopped herself from cussing. Her friends and some colleagues from AB just sent her Sandro's interview from yesterday. She checked her socials and confirmed that she's trending once again.

She then heard someone ringing the doorbell. She opened the gate quickly after getting a hint of who it might be. "Kit!"

Kit smiled at her knowingly. "Good ba morning mo?"

Leni rolled her eyes. She knew what he meant. "Ewan ko sayo!"

He laughed and kissed her cheek before going in. He saw some gardening tools. "Pag gagarden na ba ngayon ang coping mechanism mo?"

Leni hit his arm.

He laughed.

"Alam mo kung sumama ka lang saakin dito para asarin ako, edi sana naiwan ka nalang pala sa Manila!" She rolled her eyes. She's in Cam Sur with Kit for some meetings and turn over of dormitories.

He laughed and hugged her tight. "Ito naman! Gusto ko lang makita yung reaction mo eh. Joke nga diba! Saka wala ka ng magagawa kasi pati anak ni Bongbong dinamay nya na. Wala ka ng kawala!"

She pushed him away, glaring. "Stop it, okay?! Kahit anong gawin nya, I will not say yes to him! Jusko! Nandadamay pa sya ng iba. Akala nya siguro madadaan nya ko kung gagamitin nya ang anak nya!"

He laughed. "Pagbigyan mo na kasi! Napaka pabebe mo naman kasi."

"Wow ha!" Leni rebutted.

Kit laughed. He's really enjoying his best friend's situation for the last 3 months. "Sige na, sige na! Pumasok na tayo sa loob. Nagugutom na ko eh."

She rolled her eyes while shaking her head as they both went inside the house. Kit helped in setting the table while Leni served the food.

"Alam mo, wala naman sigurong masama kung pagbigyan mo si Bong." Kit said in the middle of their breakfast.

"Kumakain Kit!" Leni clearly doesn't want his choice of topic.

He sighed. They've been over and over this talk for the past months and yet, Leni's still not taking it seriously.

"Leni, alam natin pareho na di ka titigilan ni Bongbong hanggang di ka nya mapa oo. You're prolonging your agony eh. Besides, makakatulong at makakaimplwensya ka pa rin naman. Just think of it that way." Kit advised.

Leni put down her cutlery and looked at him. She knew it all but it's just hard for her to be around with Bongbong. "Alam ko naman yan, Kit. Alam kong magiging masaya ako kasi mas makakatulong ako, pero alam mo din kung bakit tumatanggi ako. Ayaw ko ng mundong pinasok ni Bongbong. Magulo. Delikado. Mapanakit." She sighed. "At alam mo din na as much as possible ayaw kong nakakasama sya."
