Everything went back to normal between Bongbong and Leni. She apologized for what happened and promised that it's not gonna happen again, and if she can't reply, he's free to ask Raffy of her whereabouts. They both compromised.
"Happy birthday, hon!" Leni called for FaceTime at 5am.
He smiled at her, "Thank you, honey! I miss you so much. I wish you're here."
They're both still in bed.
"I'm sorry hon wala ako dyan. Pero promise after ng fiesta babawi ako sa'yo."
"It's okay. Pwede naman tayo mag celebrate ng late."
She nodded.
"Nakauwi na ba dyan sina Jill? Hindi na sya nag update saakin kung anong oras sila nakarating dyan."
"Yes, hon. Nandito na sila. Halos kakarating lang. Naliligo si Jill kaya siguro hindi pa nakapag-message sayo, but I'll tell her na mag update."
"Yes, yes please. Ingat kayo dyan. Ingat mamaya sa procession. Magdala kayo ng water and fan."
"Yes, hon."
"Si Kit ba nandyan na?"
"Wala pa, hon. Mamaya pa yata syang 8am maglaland."
"Ohh okay. Dapat pala mas maaga syang nagbook ng flight para may time pa sya to rest bago mag start ang procession."
"Yun nga sabi ko, eh kaso may mga appointment pa sya kahapon. Alam mo naman yun."
"Sa bagay. Pero anyway, mabuti naman at sasama sya sainyo mamaya. Mas panatag ako pag kasama nyo sya. Ingat kayo. Just message me if you're free."
"Yes, hon. Message kita mamaya pag paalis na kami ng bahay."
"Okay. Sige na. We'll talk later. I love you!"
"I love you too. Enjoy mamaya sa party!"
"Mas enjoy sana 'ko kung nandito ka."
She giggled. "Ang landi mo, Bongbong! Sige na, bye na! I love you! Happy birthday!"
"I love you more! I'll see you soon! I love you!"
Call ended.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"
Everyone sang cheerfully. Then, Bongbong blew the candles of his cake. Everyone clapped.
"Thank you very much! Thank you!" Bongbong said.
The program went on with lots of local performers. When dinner came, everyone eventually socialized. Bongbong sat beside his mom and took a bite, he's starving after all the smiling and shaking of hands.
"OH MY GOD!" Irene shrieks in excitement.
Bongbong and Aimee looked at her. They're sitting on the same table.
"What's happening with the world?" Bongbong smirked.
"Oh my god!" Irene was just speechless.
She looked around, so Bongbong and Aimee looked around as well trying to find out what's the fuss.
Then, Bongbong was suddenly surprised when he realized that everyone was looking at him as well.
"What's happening?" He almost whispered.
Irene giggled and showed her phone, "This is happening."
Bongbong frowned. "Wha—"
