Leni went out from the bathroom wearing nothing but her spaghetti red silk nightdress, "Mahal..." She uttered seductively.
He stopped scrolling through his phone and looked at her, "O bakit ganyan suot mo? Lalamigin ka nyan."
Her jaw dropped, "Seriously?!" She almost exclaimed,finding his reaction a bit different.
He frowned, "Bakit? Concerned lang naman ako sa'yo, baka magkasipon ka sa suot mong yan. Magpalit ka nga."
Risa laughed hard after Leni shared what happened to her last night. She was so pissed off by her husband, Bongbong as he seemed to act different these past few days.
"Alam mo Risa,hindi ka nakakatulong eh!" Leni rolled her eyes.
Risa tried to suppress her laugh, "Sorry na. Eh kasi naman nakakatawa talaga. Anong ginawa mo after nyang sabihin yun?"
"Sa sobrang inis ko nagpalit ako ng pajama!" Leni answered making Risa laughed so hard that she can't breath. "Ano ba! Nakakainis kanaman eh." Leni glared at her.
"Okay. Sige na stop na ako." Risa said trying to be serious. "Bakit ba kasi,anong nangyari sa asawa mo?"
Leni sighed. "I don't even know. Simula nung umayaw ako dun sa idea nyang magbaby ulit kami parang iba na siya. Parang nawalan na siya ng gana saakin."
"Have you tried talking to him? Baka naman busy." Risa asked.
"I haven't talked to him yet." Leni uttered. "Ris,what if... what if may babae siya?" She expressed her anxiety.
"Hay naku, Leni! Praning ka lang!" Risa disagreed. "Feeling ko naman walang babae si Bong,halos araw-araw kaya kami magkasama sa Senado and mukhang okay naman siya." She explained. "Kausapin mo kasi."

Bongbong continued to act strange as the days passed,he sometimes didn't fetch her at the office,didn't bother to wait for her to finish her evening bath before they go to sleep,he leave the room when she's changing her clothes and make love to her infrequently. Leni on the other side was very preoccupied and more observant of his sudden change of behavior,she started checking his phone secretly and kept on asking him what is he doing or where he is whenever they're not together.
Leni went home earlier than usual as she thought of making it up to him and to their children,she thinks that she's so busy and didn't have much time for them. She started to work in the kitchen for a special dinner.
"Wow! Mukhang special dinner natin ngayon ha!" Sandro remarked.
"Oo nga po Mama." Jillian agreed. "Namiss ko luto nyo."
"Naku! Umupo na nga kayo,parang nambobola nalang kayo dyan eh." Leni smirked. "Where's your Papa? Tawagin mo muna Sandro."
"Ay mama wala pa po si Papa." Sandro answered.
"Wala pa rin hanggang ngayon? 8:30 na." Leni frowned.
They started to savor the palatable dishes that Leni prepared. Sandro and Jillian are so hyped in telling stories as they enjoyed their meal while Leni was trying to listen to her children although anxiety was running through her system as her husband was nowhere to be found.
