Leni slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes to clear her vision. When she turned around,she saw Bongbong comfortably sleeping beside her,then she noticed that his body was covered with sheets of the bed. She widened her eyes as she remembered what happened last night.
"Oh my god!" She shouted interrupting Bongbong's sleep. "What?" He mumbled and opened his eyes. He saw Leni sitting beside him with her palms covering her face. She looked anxious 😩. He suddenly remembered what happened to them last night.
He immediately sat up and held her face. "Leni?" He made her look at him. She started to cry. He didn't know what to tell to stop her from crying,he knew that she's confused. He just held her close and kissed the top of her head.

1 month after that "incident",Bongbong noticed how aloof she was. She doesn't answer his calls nor his texts. Every time he went to her office,she will just say,"Bong,busy ako!". He believe that it's because of "what happened" to them and it annoyed him.
It annoyed him because he didn't want her to think that he taken her for granted,that he will just leave her after he gets what he wants. He hates himself more because he can't do anything to make her feel that he's going to stand by her side whatever happens... Because the truth is...
He's in love with her...
But she never knew 😔

He went to her office to talk to her. He looked at the mirror to fix his hair,get the bouquet of flowers and went down from his car.
When he's about to enter the OVP,he suddenly paused... He saw Digong talking to Leni,it bothered him more because he saw Digong hugging Leni. His bright smile faded away as he saw her smiling while hugging Digong. It shattered him. 💔
"I'm already late...😔" he thought.
He bowed his head and hold the bouquet down as he returned to his car. He blame himself for not telling her that he love her. Now,she's happy with someone else. He felt hopeless 😩.

"Bong! Tama na nga yan! Uwi na tayo!" Win get the glass from Bongbong who's already drunk 😵. Bongbong invited him to have some drink after witnessing Digong hugging Leni. He want to alleviate the pain.
Win didn't know what to do with a drunk Bongbong so he called Leni and tell her about how mess Bongbong was. Leni being concerned "best friend" told Win that she'll be going bring Bongbong home and assist him.
"Why did you allow yourself to get drunk kasi?!" She slightly scolded him while wiping his body with wet towel.
"Hoy! Umayos ka naman! Ang bigat mo kaya!" She complained while changing his clothes.
"Leni..." He mumbled and held her hand.
"Ano?! Next time hindi kana iinom,ha!" She asserted.
"I'm sorry 😐!" He replied softly.
She sighed and held back his hands. "Bakit ka ba kasi uminom?" She asked gently.
He just looked at her and got teary. She frowned." Hey! Hey! What's wrong?" She asked.
"I saw you earlier with Digong... magkayakap kayo..." A tear 😢 fell from his eye.
She finally knew why he was drunk but she didn't expect him to say that. She's speechless 😶. She didn't know what he meant by that but she knew that she needs to console him.
"Listen..." she cupped his face. "... it's not what you think,okay?" She assured him. He just looked at her still teary eyed.
She clicks her tongue and stroke his hair. "Wala yon! The President just went there earlier to personally invite me to attend the meeting for the rehabilitation of Marawi." She explained.
"Sure?" He asked. She smiled and nods.
He held her nape and kissed her forehead. She smiled.

He woke up with a terrible headache 🤕. He went outside his room and saw Leni preparing breakfast.
"Good morning ☀️ " She greeted. "Morning!" He replied with his hands on his head. She cupped his face. "Hangover?" She asked. He nods. "Oh! Di kumakain---" He suddenly hugged her causing her statement to be cut. She blushed. She got 'kilig' 😍. "Hmm. Sige na! Mag breakfast na tayo!" She patted his back.
"Bong,I'll go na ha?" She bid goodbye. "Ahh. Leni,can we talk?" He asked making her nervous. "Baka i-topic nito yung "nangyari" saamin! Awkward!" She thought. "Ha? Let's just talk nlng next time,I'm in a hurry kasi. Sige! Bye!" She didn't gave him the chance to talk and walk towards the door. When she's ready to open it,she suddenly felt dizzy,she paused.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" He held her shoulders and turned her to him. She nods. "You look pale! Common,let's go and see a doctor to get you checked up!" He insisted. She doesn't have a choice but to obey besides she want to know what caused her dizziness.
