Behind the Curtains - LenRisa

Reassurance

"Sorry ha. Medyo natagalan ang meeting. Tulog kana ba?"

Leni then kissed Risa's shoulder.

Risa stood up from lying when she felt Leni's kiss.

"Pangga. Andito kana pala. Sorry, nakatulog ako."

"It's okay. Nagising pa tuloy kita. Kaya pala di ka nagrereply sa texts ko."

"Kumain kana ba?"

"Oo. Konti. Dun sa meeting."

"Gusto mo kumain? Paghahanda kita."

"Wag na. I'm fine.. Uhm. Galit ka ba, Ris?"

"Ha? Why naman?"

"Kasi di tayo natuloy tonight. You sounded very excited pa naman kanina."

"Of course not, ga. I understand. It's part of your job. Tsaka, akin ka pa din naman uuwi at the end of the day. It's not a big deal. Don't worry too much about it."

"Thank you, love."

"Sus. Ikaw talaga. No need to thank me.. Sige na. Maligo kana. Tulog na tayo. Maaga ka nanaman bukas."

Leni stood up and went in the bathroom to take a shower while Risa decided to browse her socmed accounts while waiting for Leni to finish.

She opened first her fb and just scrolled to see the latest news about her friends and family. Then she decided to open her twitter account. The moment she opened, she saw two pictures of Leni and Bolet from tonight's meeting that they attended with the caption, "Confirmed na ba?". One picture is when Bolet whispered to Leni and the other one is when Bolet kissed Leni's cheek.

Risa's heart beat fast. She already knew the allegations people throwing about Leni and Bolet but she chose to ignore them because she also knows the truth between the two. But seeing the two photos made her feel a bit alarmed and bothered.

"What is this behavior Cong Bolet?" she said to herself.

Leni walked out from the bathroom and checked her phone.

"Shit!" she exclaimed.

"What happened?" Risa asked.

"Shit talaga. Bakit naman kasi may paganon ganon pa sya knowing the issue?"

"Hey. Nagtatanong po ako. May tao dito. Anong nangyare? Baka gusto mo akong sagutin, Leni."

"Sorry, love. May sinend kasi sakin isa sa staff ko. Pictures.."

"Of what?"

Leni hesitated to tell Risa.

"Pictures nyo nung lalakeng di marunong mag'ahit?" Risa said.

"The who?"

"Cong Bolet, kako."

"Did you see already?"

"Yes. Nung nagshashower ka. Lumabas sa twitter ko."

"So, alam mo na yung kumakalat?"

"Of course. Lagi akong updated sa mga bagay bagay about sa'yo noh."

"Hindi ka galit?"

"Sa'yo, for sure di ako galit. Kasi alam ko namang kaibigan at katrabaho lang turing mo sa tao. Pero the nerves ha. For sure alam nya din yung issue. Imbes umiwas sya, lalo nya pang pinaaapoy. Anong deal nya?"

"Aren't you going to ask me anong nangyare behind those pictures?"

"No. You don't need to explain, 'ga. I know you. Kung ibang tao, talagang maniniwala silang may something kayo. Pero, not me, of all people, ako ang pinaka-di maniniwala. I trust you."

Leni became teary-eyed.

"Bat ganyan ka. Akala ko aawayin mo ako e. Natakot ako."

"Pangga, di na tayo bata para mag-away sa mga ganyang bagay. Yung edad nga natin dapat may mga apo na tayo e. Hahaha. And knowing the situation, for sure di lang yan ang ibabato sa'yo ng mga tao. Pero di ko sinasabing okay sa'kin action ni Bolet ha. Umayos sya."

"Hayaan mo. Pagsabihan ko nalang tsaka iiwas na din ako."

"Di mo naman kelangang iwasan kasi dikit na talaga kayo sa work nyo. But if you feel uncomfortable around him, with his actions, better yet tell him. It's your right din naman."

Leni and Risa continued to talk about the issue and Leni also asked for Risa's advice on what action she could do about the fake news circulating on social media platforms. After talking, they hugged each other and ready to sleep.

"Love?"

"Yes 'ga?"

"Sure kang di ka galit sa'kin?"

"Kulit neto. Hindi nga." Risa made Leni looked at her eyes.
"Uulitin ko. I trust you, Pangga. Kilala kita. Alam kong hindi naman yun kelanman magiging totoo. Tsaka hello? Alam ko namang baliw na baliw ka sa'kin noh!"

"Ay ang kapal naman talaga ng isang Risa Hontiveros!"

"Deny kapa e. Alam ko namang akin' to. *kissed Leni's nose. Ito *kissed Leni's lips. Ito *kissed Leni's neck. Ito *looked at Leni's breasts."

"Hep. Oo na. Wag mo nang ituloy. Baka kung saan pa tayo mapunta, mada'am senator." Leni said, then two of them laughed.
"I'm all yours, Risa. Only yours."

"I know, Pangga." then Risa kissed Leni's forehead....
