Jump Then Fall

I. Kulay Rosas ang Medyas

"Ugh!" It was positively a loud moan, and it's 6am.

Raffy and Jules heard it clearly as they happened to passed by the room where Leni and Bongbong stayed.

They were all in Naga City for the 1st Mayoral Hackathon and Bongbong's visit for the Oplan Kontra Baha.

Bongbong came to Naga late last night, right after his work in Manila. But of course, it's not known to everyone. That's the secret Bongbong, Leni, their staff, and their inner circle had been keeping for almost three years now.

They are in a relationship. A serious but private relationship.

"Ang early naman!" Jules jested.

Raffy smirked. "Sanay na kami sa mga ganyan nilang activity."

They shared a laugh before going to the dining area for breakfast. Raffy and Jules were staying at the hotel, they just went to Leni's residence to get some documents and to have a breakfast, hoping they could meet and talk to Leni for some last minute instructions. Georgina came over as well, so they've decided to have an informal meeting over breakfast.

"Ang tagal na pala nila, 'no?" Jules realized.

Raffy and Georgina nodded. "Mag 4 years na yata sila this year." Raffy said.

"Ayaw ba nila magpakasal?" Jules asked.

"Never nag kwento si Ma'am about sa kasal, so baka wala silang plano." Raffy answered.

"Baka naman after ng term ni BBM." Georgina guessed.

"Baka nga." Raffy nodded. "Baka lumagay sila sa tahimik after na ng term ni BBM. Mayor pa din nun si Ma'am, pero at least hindi na ganon ka toxic yung political environment."

"Eh paano kung tumakbong Presidente?" Jules smirked.

"Ay baka huwag nalang sila pakasal!" Raffy jested.

They all laughed.

After two hours, Leni finally came out of the room. She's already ready to go.

"Let's go na! Marami na yatang tao sa coliseum." Leni said.

"Hindi po ba kayo kakain muna?" Raffy asked.

"Ay huwag na! Hindi ako nagugutom. Mamaya nalang siguro." Leni said, pressing her hair.

"Si BBM po?" Raffy asked again.

"Nasa kwarto pa, nagbibihis pa pag labas ko. Mauna na tayo, hindi pwedeng kasabay natin sya." Leni said.

Raffy, Jules, and Georgina nodded. They all walked behind Leni towards the van outside.

Few minutes later, they finally reached the coliseum where a lot of people were waiting. Leni instantly smiled, waved, and shook hands with a lot of personalities. She even granted interviews and a shot with RTVM.

Then, she was notified that Bongbong was near, so she went outside to wait for him along with media, staff, and security.

She swallowed a lump on her throat the moment she saw his car approaching. All the more when he finally went out and reached for her hand.

"Mayor!" Bongbong beamed, shaking her hand.

"Mr. President! Welcome to Naga City!" Leni smiled.

Then, Anton shook hands with her as well.

Vince came running to her, "Mayor!"

"Welcome back, Sec.!" Leni beamed and hugged him.

Bongbong look away.
