As the ladies spend their time watching the kids play along the seashore, Grace took the chance to ask Leni about something she's been dying to ask since they arrived at the resort.

"So kumusta naman kayo ni Bongets?" Grace asked.

Leni frowned, "Bakit anong meron saamin? Dati lang naman kami ah, di pa rin kami bati."

Grace, Nancy and Risa looked at Leni unconvincingly. Leni laugh at their reactions, "Para kayong mga ewan!"

"Eh mare ang obvious naman na mahal nyo pa isa't-isa, why don't you give him a chance?" Risa expressed.

"Oo nga naman Mare!" Nancy agreed. "Di ka ba naaawa kay Patty? 14 years ng walang tatay. Saka wedding gift na rin sa kanya."

Leni sighed, "Alam nyo kasi, mahirap yang hinihingi nyo eh. I mean, ang tagal na naming hiwalay. Besides sanay na naman si Trish na wala ang tatay nya eh. She's mature enough to understand the situation."

"Pero Lens, still mahirap pa rin para kay Patty yung nangyari sainyo ni Bongets. I will never forget that moment when I saw her crying because her Dad left. Patty was still 10 years old that time." Grace remembered.

"But she overcome it naman over time diba?" Leni defended. "Look at her now, she's beautiful inside and out. Besides malabo na rin naman na magkabalikan kami kasi wala na yung love eh."

"Wala na nga ba?" Grace asked. Risa and Nancy looked at Leni.

"Ha? Um—" Leni stammered. She got mental block.

"Ayuunnn!" Risa exclaimed.

"Hay naku, Maria Leonor!" Nancy followed.

"Sinasabi ko na nga ba eh!" Grace blurted.

"Ano na naman?!" Leni frowned.

"Aminin mo na kasi na mahal mo pa rin si Bongets para matapos na tong usapan na to!" Nancy retorted .

"Pwede ba! Paulit-ulit naman tayo eh. Sinabi na kasing di ko na mahal yun! Kulit nyo naman!" Leni whimpered.

"Sus ko naman Mare, ang obvious naman na mahal mo pa rin si Bong, I mean it's been 14 years since naghiwalay kayo pero until now bitter ka pa rin. Ni hindi mo nga masabi ang pangalan nya eh. Kala mo di namin nahahalata, simula ng dumating si Bong, never kapa namin narinig na sinabi ang pangalan nya." Nancy expressed.

"Oo nga naman Lens, sobrang tagal na nung nambabae si Bongets pero yung galit mo sa kanya parang kahapon lang sya nagloko. Kaloka ka!" Risa seconded.

"Isa pa, kung talagang you doesn't love him anymore, why don't you file an annulment or legal separation? Kung tutuusin ang dali nalang nun for you to do because you know the law, you're a lawyer, RTC Judge pa nga eh." Grace pointed out.

Leni felt so bombarded with what they said, she felt like she's being interrogated by the police. She's definitely on the hot seat right now. "You know what, I think this is not the right time to talk about that. We're here to enjoy and have fun, di yung puro problema and all. Why don't we drink later?"

After the dinner which was delectable, everyone decided to spend time at the shore. They asked the staff to prepare a bonfire which was requested by the kids. The staff also prepared mats and pillows to sat or lie down around the bonfire, plus finger food especially marshmallows for the kids as they wanted to make some s'mores by themselves. The men requested to have some beer and the ladies had their wine.
