We Can't Be Friends (Edited)

07

The second senate hearing has ended just fine, the office of the senate finds odd information given and was spoken by the mayor. Many red flags were noticed during the hearing and many speculation had been arises in the media about the mayor.

In her office, Ana is having a hard time reviewing the mayor's information that giving her a headache. She has been busy since the hearing ended and no one dare to interrupt her.

A knock on her office' door made her look, she was shocked when she saw her former ex-girlfriend who has been away from her and lost communication after they parted ways.

"You're too busy, you should get some rest first."

She looked at Eileen who is now seating in one of her guest's sofas, she didn't listen to her and just took a sip of her coffee.

"What made you bring here?"

"I just want to ask if you're okay."

She answered while smiling, she saw her playing a familiar bracelet that she's wearing. It's the bulgari bracelet that she gave her long time ago.

She let out a big sigh, Eileen was her girlfriend for just 4 months last 6 years. Eileen used her to make her former ex-boyfriend jealous and she succeeded, they're married now.

Ana in the other hand jus want a peace of mind, she doesn't want to look like a desperate ex so she lived privately. She just want a closure to make things better.

"Look, I'm sorry for what I've done. I'm just blinded by love kaya ko nagawa yun."

"Is that for closure?"

She chuckles as she looked at the former vice president and she put her pen down. She noticed Eileen's eyes that looks like it came from a heavy cry.

"Are you okay?"

A hint of worry was noticed in her voice, Leni looked up to her and give her a small smile.

" I miss you."

Ana's worried face immediately disappear as she heard what Leni said. Her face's expression said it loud, she doesn't want to be involved on Eileen anymore.

"Eileen, if you and your husband have a problem. Huwag mo na akong idamay, I'm done with your games."

She said it hardly and she grip at her desk to control her anger. She doesn't want to vent her anger on the person in front of her.

" Ana, I need you. "

" Eileen, just leave. I have work to do and so you are, just talk to your husband about your problems with him.  "

As she wished, Eileen left. She let out a deep breath and massaged her temple. She's too stress out in the situation and coffee can't calm her down.

She reach for her phone and planning to contact a friend but she's too distracted. Minutes later, she found herself smiling and giggling while watching a previous Facebook live on the Bamban mayor's Facebook page.

"Ma'am Aleesa."

Aleesa just arrived at the municipal hall when her assistant called her. She her carrying a big stack of pink flower bouquet.

"May nagpapa-abot po, Ma'am."

She was shocked when she hold the bouquet, today is just a simple day except yesterday when she then again grilled in the senate hearing.

"Thank you, Jane."

She continues to walk and her staff can't control but to tease and compliment the mayora about her look and the bouquet that she's holding.

She enter her office and placed the bouquet on her desk, she took a quick snap and noticed a note.

Don't be too stressed out, take care!

-MD𐙚

Her forehead frown as she read the note, out of frustration, she took her phone and tweeted the photo she snapped and caption it; Who's who👀

MD? Sino naman 'yun? Ang layo sa Ana Romero. Hmp.

Her tweet gathered alot of reactions and comments from her friends and fans. But one notification has made her heart shaken in shock.

Ayokong maging assuming pero why naman ganiyan, Madame Senator!

She bit her lips to suppress her smile, she don't know what to do so she simply react to the senator's comment.

In a gloomy afternoon, Aleesa makes herself busy. In amidst of her problems and issues, she still doing her best to serve her people.

She is too stressed out about the papers in font of her causing her head to ache. She massage her head using vaporub.

She is thinking about another program for the children, but her time is contradicting the program to happen.

She lean her head in here desk and take some rest, she deeply sigh and just chatted with some of her friends as she rest.

As she scrolling to her phonebook, she saw the senator's name in her contacts. As much as her heart wants to chat with the senator but her mind says no.

Yet, her hand has its own mind. She finds herself staring at the message she sent to the senator. As minutes passed, she received a reply from her.

From: Miss Ana👀
Good afternoon, Mayor.

To: Miss Ana 👀
Good afternoon po, sa inyo po ba galing ang flowers?

Her smile grew bigger as she read the senator's reply. But she can't think of another words to reply so she directed yet shyly type a question and sent it the senator.

From: Miss Ana 👀
Sadly, no.

She felt a little sad as the senator answers her question, she said sorry and bid goodbye to the senator and put her phone down.

If hindi si Senator Ana, sino?

As she plays with her confused mind, her phone lights up with another notification.

It's the senator. She grinning ear to ear as she read the senator's message.

From: Miss Ana 👀
Btw, Mayor. Can I invite for a simple dinner?

She then can't control her emotion any longer, she hardly gripped at the plastic water bottle sitting peacefully at her desk that is now flattened because of the mayor.

To: Miss Ana 👀
Sure

As she smile, her eyes immediately disappear. Her face says it all, she can't control herself from smiling and feeling thrilled caused by the senator.

As she enjoyed flipping the papers in front of her, her phone then light up again. Another message appears to her notification in an unknown number.
