Jump Then Fall

long story short (3)

October 2013

Ten members of the Congress were sent to South Korea for a 4-day summit. Four of them were from the upper house—Bongbong, Grace, Sonny Angara, and Nancy. While six of them came from the lower house— Leni (Cam. Sur), Martin (Leyte), Kit (Quezon City), Miro (Marikina), Ben (Eastern Samar, and Florencio (Surigao Del Sur). They all boarded the same plane and took the same van and took the same hotel. Well, Grace, Nancy, and Leni shared the room while the boys shared different rooms as well.

It was their second night and just like what they did in the first, they occupied a table for dinner. It was a grand buffet with variety of dishes from all around the globe. Leni took her time to walk around to choose what she likes.

"Cong.!" Someone approached her.

"Sen." She smiled. It was Sen. Sonny Angara who's also got his plate.

He stood beside her as they look for food to eat. "Daming pagkain 'no? Nalilito ako kung alin ang kakainin ko eh."

She chuckled. "Oo nga po eh. Kanina pa 'ko dito pero undecided pa rin ako."

He chuckled. "Parang gusto ko tikman lahat kaso di ko naman kaya for sure."

"May mga susunod na araw pa naman, Sen. Hinay-hinay lang." She jested.

They laughed.

In the end, they both got Chinese food and sat next to each other.

After dinner, they retreated to their respective hotel rooms, but Bongbong had other plans. He invited his cousin, Martin to have drinks who invited Ben and Florencio as well. They met at the parking lot and asked their driver for some discrete clubs around the area.

"Itong si Angara parang kursunada si Leni." Bongbong brought up.

Martin frowned. "Paano mo naman nasabi?"

Bongbong shrugged. "Magkasama nag buffet kanina eh."

They chuckled. "Para yun lang, may gusto na agad?!" Martin jested.

Bongbong glared at him, "I just know, okay?!"

Martin threw his hands up, surrendering, "Okay. Okay, Mr. Love Guru."

Bongbong rolled his eyes.

"Naku! Off limits na si Cong. Leni!" Ben jumped in.

Bongbong was intrigued. "Why? May boyfriend na sya?"

Ben shrugged, "Chismis lang naman, Sen. na may namamagitan sa kanila ni Cong. Jorge."

"Jorge? Ng QC?!" Bongbong exclaimed.

Ben nodded. "Pero chismis lang naman yun, Sen."

"Sina Belmonte saka Quimbo makakasagot nyan, Sen." Florencio added. "Mga sanggang dikit yang mga yan eh."

Bongbong nodded.

Martin frowned at his cousin. "Bakit mo naman gustong malaman?"

"Hindi ko gustong malaman, okay?! I don't care." Bongbong sass.

Martin raised an eyebrow. He's not convinced.

On their third night, after dinner and a warm bath, Bongbong had plans. He met a girl last night in the club and decided to meet with her tonight. He's cold, so the best way to get warm is to get laid.

He went out of his room and passed through the hallways until he reached a common area where the elevators are. He pressed the button and waited. For some reason, he glanced to his right and saw a woman standing on the balcony.
