A month after election, it was official, she's now the new elected Mayor of Muntinlupa City. A place near her heart.
The Galvez, family of doctors. Acquiring knowledge in human body and medicine is the best path to take, and it was proven by people surrounding her. In pressure to continue the family legacy, Lea's also expected to be one of the best in that field.
Which only lead them to "disappointment."
Helping has always been close to Lea's heart, at the age of 4, seeing how her parents volunteer for free baranggay check-ups made it clear to her that one day, it's the path she'll take. The path of being a giver; a sharer, providing necessary needs for people who can't afford it.
In order to pursue her dreams, Lea needed to leave the life she'd gotten used to and start anew. Years of struggling, hardship and distress, she'd finally attain it. Graduated with the highest grades, Suma Cum Laude to be exact, earning a PhD in her name after years of studying Political Sciences.
One night, after a very busy day, Lea stopped in front of her gigantic house to inform the guards that she had already come home.
Not until... she noticed someone she hardly knew, sleeping at her patio, resting his head on the wall. The woman inhaled and did what she scope. Beeping her car at him.
That time, as he fell down from his seat and balled his fist, standing up like a total naive, Lea laughed. After what she thinks is forever, the lady finally let her curtains down and uncaged the spirit of fun from her heart.
His face was familiarly-unfamiliar, but he gave her the feeling of tranquility.
Was letting him in her life the best decision Mayora Leayla Arwell Galvez ever committed to? Or will she regret the day she even thought of leaving her family to chase after her dreams?
