"Bubuksan ko lang po yung gate Ms. Lea." Bayani offered as he opens the car door to alight.

"No na, its okay. Just the service door. Hindi rin ako magtatagal." Lea said as she turned off the engine.

Lea alight the car and went to open the door for Aga at the back.

"Lets go Ags, can you walk?" Lea asked as she assist Aga to stand on both feet.

Aga got out of balanced while walking as they pass through the service door. Lea caught him as she absorbed his full weight.

"Ow! Ags careful naman, ang bi-gat mo, ano ba?"

Aga leaned on Lea for support.

"Lea.. Bakit ba kasi ang bango-bango mo?" Aga whispers in her ear as his other hand somehow landed on her waist.

Lea cleared her throat.

"Ags, umayos ka naman please. Hindi kita kaya." Lea pleaded.

As if on cue, Bayani emerged from the front door and ran to them.

"Ay ako na po Ms. Lea, sorry, binuksan ko na din kasi pinto ng kwarto nya." Bayani said as he took Aga from her arms.

"Okay. Thanks Yani." Lea replied.

The immediate absence of Aga on her personal space made her feel weird.

"Tara po." Bayani replied as he walks Aga up on the porch and inside the house.

Yani dropped Aga on his bed and removed his shoes.

Lea felt awkward being inside Aga's room for the first time.

"Ah Ms. Lea, salamat po pala sa pagsundo at hatid. Eh ang paalam ko po kasi sa nanay ko 11pm lang, mag alas singko na. Mauuna na po ako sainyo umuwi."

"Sigurado ka ba okay ka lang? Hatid na lang kita saan ka ba banda?" Lea offered.

"Naku hindi na po, diyan lang ako malapit sa gate ng subdivision, yung guard house. Di joke lang. Bandang labasan lang ako, magttaxi na lang po ako, paliwanag na rin naman." Bayani explained.

"Okay sige. Magiingat ka." Lea said.

"Nice meeting you po pala. Ang ganda-ganda nyo po pala sa personal. Sa tv ko lang kayo nakikita eh."

"Ikaw talaga. Anyway, thank you."

"Sige po. Ingat din kayo pag-uwi."

Bayani left as he closed the door of Aga's room.

Lea waited for the sound of the gate closing before she went to Aga's closet to look for a change of clothes.

She took a cold bottled water from the mini fridge and sat on the bed beside Aga.

"Ags." Lea said as he taps on Aga's face.

Aga opens her eyes and stares at her for a second.

"Bumangon ka diyan at magpalit ka ng damit."

Aga complied as Lea lend a hand for support.

"Shirt. Off." Lea instructed as she drop a white shirt on his lap.

"Oohoho.. Bossy. I like that."

Aga leaned in and started to unbutton Lea's button down shirt.

"Excuse me. What are you doing?" Lea asked.

"Sabi mo shirt off?" Aga teased.

"My goodness. Aga ikaw ang maghuhubad hindi ako. Palitan mo yang polo mo dahil amoy alak." Lea explained.
