A week after the Marcoses had arrived at the ancestral house, everyone in the neighborhood got so lively including their old family friends who live close to them.

The family was almost finished on eating breakfast when Leni came inside the house along with an old woman beside her. Earlier that morning, She wasn't suppose to fetch her Mother at their local market, but what made her do that is her employer's invitation. Imelda looked at them and recognized the person who's Leni's with. She couldn't control her emotions as she stood up from her seat that quick, running to the woman so excitedly.

"Sally!" Imelda called out. Seeing her best friends presence shocked her,  she got astonished at what she looked like now that they have children of their own.

"Anong nangyayari dito?" Leni thought to herself as she hasn't seen Imelda act like that. "Mommy, What's happening here?" Bongbong asked, approaching his mom who was hugging the woman.

"Bestfriend ko, Relative pala ni Leonor" Imelda admitted, smiling from ear to ear. She couldn't contain her happiness on seeing her best friend after all these years. Thinking she'd passed a long time ago due to the unavailability of Sally sending messages to Imelda.

The two got shocked upon learning their mother's history with one another. "Si Leni, nagw-work pala siya sainyo" Sally said, not knowing that her daughter works for her best friend since Leni isn't really the type of girlie that would tell you everything.

"Siya na si Leni? My goddaughter? Totoo ba?" Imelda asked, eager to know Sally's answer. "Oo, Maria Leonor, Leni diba? You were the one who helped me make her nickname" Sally told Imelda who's still in shock. "I've forgotten na through the years, halos na CS kasi ako sa kanila lahat remember? Grabe She's so grown na pero kamukha ni Antonio" She chuckled holding her best friend's arm.

"This is Bongbong pala, si Ferdinand Jr." Imelda introduced her son who was beside Leni. "hello po mommy, ay t-tita" bongbong accidentally called her mommy which made the two women laugh at his greeting. The two decided that they talk in their backyard as it was spacious and it was still early for them to catch up with things they needed to gossip about.

Bongbong excused Leni in front of everyone and as they left, his three sisters couldn't stop squealing and giggling at them.

"Leni, may ka close ka ba dito?"  Asked bongbong who was curious about her. "Kinakausap ko lang mga tao pero wala akong ka close" she answered politely, knowing her boundaries even if their mother's were close; they weren't for her.

"Ah, ninang mo pala si Mommy eh" he added slightly chuckling, remembering what he called Leni's mom. "True. Hindi ko nga alam kasi hindi naman nababangit ni Mama" She replied sitting at the sun loungers. "Magulat tayo, ninang ko din Mommy mo" Bongbong mumbled making her smile. "Wait, I'll get us something to drink. You look like you're fun to talk with eh" He added, excusing himself; leaving Leni on the pool area.

"Haliparot ka din babae ka no! Ang landi landi mo talaga!" The younger maid shouted at Leni and was ready to cause trouble. "Anong malandi? Hibang ka ba?" Leni asked the maid who's delusional at some point. "Nilalandi mo crushie ko!" She confronted in full rage, thinking that Leni was seducing her crush.

"Anong nilalandi eh-" Leni almost completed her sentence when Bongbong butted in their conversation. "Hey Madel, tigilan mo nga si Leni. Ano na naman pinagsa-sabi mo sakanya?" Bongbong asked feeling so pissed at the woman who was saying such things at Leni.

"Wala sir. Nire remind ko lang siya. Baka nilalandi ka na niya tapos peperahan ka lang pala." She sarcastically said, laughing at them seductively while trying to get his attention. "No need to remind her, Madel. She's already my girlfriend. Kaya please, stop causing fights na." He begged, making sure that those kinds of scene won't start again.
