Leni felt bad.

She felt bad not with how she treated Jorge, but with the fact that she agreed to have dinner with him in the first place. She knew it was all due to her impulsivity. Now, she didn't know how to face Bongbong. She felt like cheating on him.

She suddenly heard the doorbell rang. It was already 11pm so she's a bit confused of who it might be. Nevertheless, she slowly got up and opened the door.

"Bong!" She was surprised to see him.

"Sira ba ang phone mo?" He asked, a bit irked.

"Huh? Uh hindi naman. Bakit." She said, ushering him to come in.

They went inside her condo. He noticed how she's already in her night gown. "Dito ako matutulog."

She nodded, a bit surprised. "O—okay. Kumain ka na ba?"

He nodded. "Tea nalang siguro."

"Okay." She nodded. "Maligo ka na muna sa taas tapos dalhin ko nalang dun yung tsaa."

He nodded. He then went upstairs to take a bath while she made him tea. She didn't know how to be around him after what happened between her and Jorge the other night.

She went upstairs with a cup of tea and a croissant. She waited for him to finish and got into his pjs. "Inumin mo na 'tong tsaa bago pa lumamig." She said.

"Thanks." He uttered and sipped his tea.

They were both silent after that. She didn't knew why he suddenly came to her house, let alone sleep in her bed tonight, but she's taking it as a good sign.

"Let's sleep." He said after finishing his tea and croissant. He went to his side of the bed. "Gisingin mo 'ko ng mga 5:30am. I have a 7:30 call time tomorrow."

She nodded and turned the tv off. She also checked the bathroom, hanging his towel properly and segregated his used clothes. She then adjusted the room temperature and set the alarm on her phone. Finally, she lay down on the bed beside him.

They were just silent until she felt him hugged her. He pulled her body closer to his which she liked.

He intertwined his fingers with hers. "Len, I want kids."

She looked at him in confusion. "And? Anong gagawin ko? Saan ako kukuha nyan?"

He shrugged. "Sa tyan mo?"

Her big eyes grew bigger, "What?! Naririnig mo ba sarili mo?!"

"Yes." He said, casually.

She sighed. She didn't know how to explain things to him. "Bong, seryoso ka ba?! Mag-aanak tayo?!"

"Yes." He nodded.

"Aware ka naman na mahihirapan na 'ko magbuntis diba?! Hindi na tayo bata—"

He cut her off. "Pero pwede pa naman diba?"

"I— Bong hindi naman yun ganon kadali—"

"We'll just consult with the doctors. We'll get help from them. As long as pwede pa, I want to give it a shot. I want kids, Leni." He said firmly.

She gulped at how serious and decided he was. "Bong, naisip mo ba yung mga responsibility natin? Paano tayo mag-aanak kung halos hindi nga tayo magkita dahil sa mga schedule natin? Saka kids?!"

He nodded. "Yes, kids. With S. As in hindi lang isang anak. I'm thinking of three?"

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "Tell me you're kidding!"

He shook his head. "No. Do I look like I'm kidding?"

She looked troubled. "Oh god! I can't believe this is happening! I— oh my god, Bongbong!"
