Say You Won't Let Go

X. To my Lady Boss, - With love, Digong

A/N: Alam niyo na! 😂😉

---

It was a night filled with laughter as Digong was so engaged in telling the young lawyers in front of him what happened in the past few weeks of his life.

"Tapos doon man sa Air Force... Nakita ko man si Leni... Pagkaganda man talaga," he rubbed his chin as he said that. "Hindi nga ako makatingin agad... Siya nakatingin man. Ako... 'Yong tingin pa niya parang gusto man akong bugahan ng apoy."

The crowd laughed.

"Totoo man! Kaya kung makita niyo... Napayuko man ako para... Hindi ko matitigan! Gwapa man!"

What he said drew laughter from the crowd again.

"Eh Mr. President, bakit ho hindi man lang kayo nag-usap noong nasa stage?" A lawyer from the ASEAN Law Association asked him.

Digong smirked. "Paano man kami mag-usap eh ayaw man ako pansinin. Mukha man akong buang doon... Pabulong-bulong man sa kaniya, pero 'di naman nagsagot."

The people, including his PSGs laughed.

"Tapos noong tapos na ang event... Sinabi man sa akin ni Defense, "Sir, mainit ang ulo... Ang tagal mo pinaghintay eh," he scratched his arm.

He drunk a glass of water before proceeding.

"Sabi ko... Ano man gawin ko? Dili ko man alam na ma-late ako... Nagtawa lang si Lorenzana... Sabi niya, "sa tagal mo, nangawit na. Namula na ang sakong sa kahihintay sa'yo," sabay tumawa ang put!@#$%!"

The people, even Bong Go, cannot contain their laughter anymore.

"Eh 'di ako naman... Galit din kunwari sa harap ni Defense... Pagsakay namin sa sasakyan... Sabi ko, "Bong, padalhan mo man ng sapatos si Leni... 'Yong wala man heels para hindi man masaktan ang buang," tawa-tawa ngayon ang loko!" He said - referring to Bong Go.

Bong smiled upon hearing what his boss just said.

"Tapos noong nakabili man itong si Bong, pinakita man sa akin... Kulay brown man dahil mahilig man itong si Leni sa kulay balat... Hindi ko na masyadong tiningnan... Basta hinawakan ko lang kung malambot ba... Malambot naman. Doon man sa loob ng kahon, nilagyan ko pa ng piso ba... Para hindi man kami ano... You know this superstition about giving shoes..." He comically imitated the way he placed the coin into the box.

"Tapos, sinulatan ko man ng note... Doon ba sa nakita ko man na notepad sa lamesa ko... Ginandahan ko pa ang sulat... Sabi ko man doon," he pretended to hold a pen and paper as he told the crowd what he wrote on the note.

To my Lady Boss,

Sorry to keep you waiting...

With love,
Digong

"Two days after, ibinalik man sa akin 'yong sapatos. Pati 'yong piso, nandoon pa... 'Yong note lang ang napalitan..." He laughed as he remembered what he read on the note. He even tried to imitate her voice.

Mr. President,

Thank you, but I think you got the wrong size... or wrong woman!

Maria Leonor G. Robredo
Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines

They all bursted into laughter after Digong said that.

"Itong si Bong... Sabi ko, "anong size man ibinigay mo," he looked at Bong. "Ano man ibinigay mo?"

Bong scratched his head. "8 po, Mayor..."

Digong tapped his forehead jokingly. "Patay na! Doon man sa isa 'yong 8... Size 7 lang si Leni..."
