Sunday Night 10:00 P.M
Third Person's POV
He is watching Gabing Gabi Na Vice. Vice Ganda keeps on squealing while he, keeps on murmuring under his breath.
You fooled me, Leni. What you have done is unforgivable. You fooled me, and you'll regret it. Sa paningin nila ay nakakakilig at napakaideyal ng kwento ninyo pero ang hindi nila ay ang panggagago at panloloko mo, Leni. You fooled me. You fooled us all!
Ipinagpapasalamat niya ang pagpayag ni Digong na mainterview dahil magmula noong isambulat niya na mag asawa na sila ni Leni, hindi pa siya nabibigyang pagkakataong makausap ang Bise Presidente. Sa Presidente mismo niya nalaman kung kailan nagsimula ang panloloko ni Leni Robredo!
"Busy ba talaga o sadyang umiiwas", he talked to himself.
Sa bibig mimso ni Digong niya nalaman kung kailan nag umpisa ang panloloko ni Leni sa kanila. Pinapaikot lang pala sila nito sa kanyang palad. At hindi niya ito mapapalampas. Hindi ang isang Leni Robredo lamang ang gagawa 'nun sa kanila.
After Digong's interview had ended, he took his phone and texted someone. When that "someone" did not respond, he called her. After the phone call, he decided to text another one.
Set the date, it's payback time!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Office of the Vice President
Leni has too many paperworks to do, as usual, but she cannot concentrate.
Dapat masaya siya dahil magmula noong nainterview si Digong, hindi na siya muling nakatikim nang panlilibak mula sa mga netizens. Masaya rin ang kanyang mga anak dahil sa wakas ay tinigilan na rin siya ng kanyang mga kritiko. Ngunit hindi lubos ang kaniyang kasiyahan. Dahil noong gabing nagpapainterview ang kanyang asawa, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe. Nang hindi siya mag reply at tumawag na ito.
" Ma'am VP! Mukhang nakalimutan mo na yata kung paano magreply eversince your husband announced to the nation that you're married na", he said mockingly.
"Hindi naman sa ganoon, Senator. I am just busy this past few days", Leni answered back.
"Are you indeed busy or umiiwas ka lang", this time mahihimigan na sa tono niya ang galit.
VP Leni did not answer his question.
"Can we meet, VP? Because you know, we need to sort out things at isaayos ang mga bagay bagay", he told the VP.
"Okay, just tell me when", she agreed.
"Will update you when, VP", he said and ended the call.
And yesterday, he informed her that the meeting will take place this evening in one of the 5 star hotel of the country. She doesn't fear facing him, she is only bothered dahil hindi alam ni Digong ang meeting niyang ito. She intends to attend alone.
At exactly 6:00 P.M, VP Leni arriv3d at the venue of the meeting. She thought that she was early but she was shocked because all the attendees were there already, all seated and were waiting for her.
"Finally, the woman of the hour arrived", Sen. Pangilinan sarcastically introduced her.
VP Leni ignored him. He is just angry, that's why he said those, she thought.
"Welcome, VP Leni Robredo! Or should I say, Mrs. Duterte", Sen. Trillanes mockingly said. He is the one who called her that night, the one who asked for a meeting too.
VP Leni ignored him too.
As she roam around her eyes, the facial expressions of the people inside the room variates only into two; some were smiling at her sarcastically and the other half are looking at her expressionless.
Huminga ng malalim si VP Leni. She must face them, her partymates. She owe them explanation, she knew it.
"So, since nandito naman tayong lahat may we start with the meeting already", VP Leni told the crowd.
"Ah, okay. So you are presiding over meeting? Well, rightfully so, after all you are still the chairman of the party. The party whom you betrayed and made a fool", Sen. Trillanes again exclaimed hotly.
"Alam kong galit kayo sa akin. Kaya nga ako nandito ngayon para ayusin ang mga bagay bagay", VP Leni said humbly.
"I am resigning as the party's leader and chairman", VP Leni declared.
"Sa tingin mo, ganoon na lang iyon Leni?", Sen. Pangilinan asked.
Ba"Magbibitiw ka bilang chairman, okay na? Ganoon ba kadali iyon", nagsalita na rin si Sen. Risa.
"You betrayed us! You betrayed the party that we oath to protect", Sen. Risa added.
"Kaya ba kahit anong pilit namin na i refute mo ang mga statements niya eh madalas tumatanggi ka?", tanong ni Sen. Drilon.
"You are a disgrace to the party", Sen. Trillanes almost shouted.
"Wait. Wait lang ha. Kasi sa tono ninyo parang ako na ang pinakamasamang naging myembro ng partido natin. Yes, malaki ang kasalanan ko dahil inlihim ko ang pagpapakasal namin ni Digong. But did I betrayed the party in its' truest sense? Hindi naman di ba? Despite being the wife of the president, I still remained critical with the policies that were not in line with the law. And on refuting the statements issued by the president, why refute it kung tama naman ang sinasabi niya? Just because we are the opposition it doesn't mean that we have to oppose the administration through and through! And please, do not lecture me about loyalty. Kayo ba, have you really been loyal to the party? To me?", VP Leni asked them. It is evident on her face that she is angry as well as hurt with her colleagues' words.
"Sa mga panahong bugbog sarado ang pagkatao ko dahil sa mga bashers at trolls, where were you? Sa mga oras na sentro ako ng fake news, did you rally behind me? When the bashers were attacking me and my daughters, did you protected me? No!!! Lahat kayo walang imik sa mga panahong iyon. Pero sa kaunting pagkakamali ng pamahalaan, mabilis pa sa alas kwatro ang paglabas ng mga statements ninyo! Tapos ngayon, sasabihin ninyong traydor ako at kayo loyal? Loyal sa partido, siguro, pero sa pinuno ninyo, hindi. Look, I am extending my apology dahil sa ginawa ko. Pero as I have said, I remained loyal to the party. I did and said what I think is the best for the party and what is right", VP Leni bursted out.
"You know, Leni, in politics, being smart is not enough. You need also to be wise. Our political party build you up. And it can also break you down with a snap of our fingers", Sen. Trillanes said.
When suddenly the door flew open. Nagulat ang lahat ng pumasok ang isang hindi inaasahang panauhin, Rodrigo Duterte himself.
"Really, Sen. Trillanes! Don't you threaten my wife, you know what I am capable of doing also", Digong told Trillanes dangerously.
"I do not remember inviting you in this meeting, Mr. President. Even if you are the president, you do not belong to our political party. That's why may I ask you to leave?", Trillanes mockingly told Digong.
"Para ano? Para maipagpatuloy ninyo ang panggigipit at pananakot ninyo kay Leni? I am leaving, but Leni comes with me", Digong told the group.
"Let's go, Love", he held Leni's hand and lead her out of the meeting room. But as he reached the door, turned around and gave a warning to the group.
"Don't you dare ruin my wife's name and reputation kung ayaw ninyong tuluyang mawasak ang partidong iniingatan ninyo. At kung ayaw ni'yo ring magsilabasan lahat ng mga baho ninyo, especially you", Digong pointed at Sen. Trillanes. He left the group, who were unable to answer back.
