Alicia was on the dance floor, and she was so drunk.
"Ate, tama na. Madaling araw na, kailangan mo na magpahinga," Hans said while stopping his Ate from dancing, as she was already very drunk. "Isa pa, lasing ka na. Baka makita ka ni Ate Risa at ng mga bata—"
"Hans, hay-yahan m-moh ak-akho," she said, feeling so dizzy.
"Ate?" he protested.
"Ekhaw lumh-gil kyo ha," she rolled her eyes. "Bat dihtoh kap ha, dhun kha Mha mha moh," she shouted and started to cry.
"Hay nako," Hans said, also feeling tipsy, so he didn’t have much patience for his Ate. The only thing he thought could help them was Risa. He rushed inside their Lola’s house and called Ate Risa. He entered the twins' room, and Risa was there beside them.
"Hans?" she asked.
"Si Ate kasi lasing, ayaw magpapaawat eh," he said, scratching his head. Risa nodded and stood up. She glanced out the window and saw Alicia dancing like she was out of her mind.
"Ako na bahala, Hans, tara." They quickly left the house.
Alicia was about to open another beer, but Risa grabbed the bottle and took it away from her.
"Ano ba?" Alicia shouted, looking at who took her beer. "Owh, hello, Love," she smiled and wrapped her arms around Risa’s neck. "Alam mo, dumating yung Mama ko," she said, while Risa held her waist to keep her from falling.
"Love, lasing ka na. Let’s go," Risa said, about to guide her to walk, but Alicia refused.
"I don’t want to go there, Love. Dito lang tayo," she hugged Risa and kissed her neck.
"Alice, stop!" Risa said angrily. "Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, papasok na tayo sa loob. Nakakahiya ka, Alicia!" she shouted. Alicia was shocked, and Risa just rolled her eyes when she looked at her.
"Sorry po," Alicia whispered.
"I'm sorry. Kanina pa kasi ako galit sa 'yo, eh. Let's go na, you need to rest," Risa whispered. Alicia just nodded and obeyed Risa. They walked inside the house. Risa guided Alicia along the way. As they entered the room, Alicia went directly to the bathroom and vomited. After that, Risa helped her remove her makeup and brush her teeth.
"Dahan-dahan lang," Risa said as she helped Alicia lay down on the bed.
"Augh," Alicia moaned as she lay down. Risa was shocked after hearing it. "Love?"
"Yes, Love?" Risa whispered. She was about to get off the bed to get some clothes for Alicia when Alicia wrapped her arms around Risa’s arm.
"Wag mo akong iwan. Stay here po," she whispered, her voice still dizzy, and her body was weak.
"You need to change your clothes. Wait lang po ha." Risa unwrapped Alicia’s arms and got some clothes. Risa undressed Alicia, making her sweat because of the sexual tension she felt when she saw her wife’s body.
"Ahhhh," Risa sighed while wiping her forehead.
Finally, Alicia was dressed, and Risa wiped her arms with warm water and alcohol. Suddenly, someone entered the room—it was Alicia’s mother.
"You must be my daughter’s girlfriend, right?" she said, walking closer to Risa. Risa smiled and stood up, showing respect to her girlfriend's mother.
"Yes po, Ma’am," Risa replied, the sexual tension she felt now replaced with nervousness.
"You can call me Mama, Senator Risa, since girlfriend ka ng anak ko," she smiled. Risa nodded and invited her to sit. "Iyang"—Alicia’s mother’s nickname—sat on the bed beside her daughter. As she sat, she slowly held her daughter’s hand.
