Leni went home to Naga leaving Bongbong. She said she has a lot of things to do since she's running for Mayor in the city next elections. She met with some barangay captains, city counselors, and did some community visits.

Calling...
She excused herself from her conversation with the punong barangays to answer the call. "Hello?"
"Kasama mo na naman dyan si Belmonte?"
She frowned. "Excuse me?"
"Kasama mo dyan sa Naga si Belmonte. Narinig mo naman ako."
"Oo. Bakit? Anong problema dun?" She was trying to keep her voice down.
"Bakit di ko alam?"
She didn't get him. "Aba ewan ko sayo! Bakit mo kailangan malaman? Pwede ba Marcos nasa kalagitnaan ako ng meeting tapos tatawag ka para makipag-away?!"
"Eh hindi mo 'ko sinabihan na kasama mo pala—"
Call ended.
Leni hardly pressed the end call button due to vexation. She couldn't believe what just happened. She exhaled deeply before going back to her meeting.

It was Leni's day three in Naga. She's out early since the Angat Buhay will be having another workshop in Avenue Hotel. She arrived there at 9am and gave a short speech, then she went to visit some barangays. It was already 7:30pm when she travelled back home.
"Anong meron?" Leni asked. There's a lot of cars parked on both side of the street.
Kit shrugged. "Baka may handaan sa katabing bahay?"
Leni didn't say anything, she just watched the cars from her window as they passed by slowly.
"Oh my god!" Kit exclaimed, tapping Leni's arm.
"Ano?" Leni frowned and looked at Kit's side of the window.
Kit pointed out the SUV near the gate of her house. Leni squinted her eyes and saw the plate— 1. She exhaled deeply.
She went down the car the moment they got inside her property. She immediately asked her househelper to open the gate again and allow the SUV to enter as well. She watched some black SUVs parked inside her property and expected him.
There were guards who went down first before she could even see him. He looked at her the moment he went down. She knew his pissed.
"Hi, Mr. President!" She greeted.
"Good evening, Sir!" Kit extended his hand, but Bongbong just looked at his hand then his face. He ignored him in the end.
"Let's talk." Bongbong told Leni.
Leni just nodded and excused. She lead him inside her room. She sighed, she knew it's gonna be another fight. "What?"
"Bakit di mo 'ko sinabihan na kasama mo pala dito sa Naga si Belmonte? Tapos ngayon pati dito sa bahay mo kasama mo pa rin!" He started.
"Jusko naman Bongbong! Pumunta ka lang ba dito para makipag-away?" She countered. "Pagod na pagod na 'ko. Maghapon ako may lakad. Kaya lang naman ako umuwi para makaligo at makapagbihis kasi may pupuntahan pa akong lamay."
He frowned. "Saan? Bakit hindi ko na naman yan alam?"
She frowned at him, she's so pissed that she wanted to choke him. "Bakit ano bang gusto mo? Dapat ba lahat ng lakad ko alam mo? Pati paghinga ko dapat alam mo?! Pwede ba, Bongbong hindi na tayo mga high school para sa ganitong mga away! Pagod ako!"
