Behind the Curtains - LenRisa

My Valentine

"Tulog na tayo. H'wag masyado maexcite, love. Baka di ka na makatulog ng ilang gabi."

Risa smacked Leni's arm, "Kapal talaga netong babaeng 'to. Lika na. Matulog na tayo."

Risa then hugged Leni again until both of them fell asleep.

Days passed until 14th of February.
This time, Leni woke up earlier than Risa to prepare for breakfast. Before 5am, Risa woke up and saw Leni preparing the table.

"Oh, bakit ikaw na nagluto, Pangga?"

"Good morning, love! Uhm. Kasi nga di ba, di mo ako makakasama today. So kelangan kong bumawi."

"Ikaw talaga. It's fine lang naman. Makakasama naman kita bukas."

"E baka kasi nagtatampo ka pa."

"Hindi naman ako nagtatampo. 'Ga, I always understand basta sa work mo. Ikaw talaga."

"Thank you, love. Tara na. Kain na tayo."

They ate and Leni prepared herself to go to work afterwards.

When she's about to go out the door, Risa hugged her so tight.

"Oh god, love. Di... ako... makahinga. Ang higpit."

"Ingat ka, ha. Wala akong pampalit sa'yo." Risa said as she continued hugging Leni.

Leni felt butterflies all over her stomach.

"Excited na ako para bukas. Sunod ka agad, ha?" Risa added and let go of Leni from her hug.

Leni then lift her feet and gave Risa a peck on her lips.

"Opo, love. See you tomorrow. H'wag mo ako masyado mamiss, ha. Isang gabi lang tayo di magkakatabi." Leni chuckled.

"Nagsalita ang hindi clingy nowadays. O'sya alis na. Baka mamaya di na kita paalisin."

After Leni left, Risa also prepared herself to go to work.

Risa started her day just like her normal days. Loren and Grace went to her desk.

"Bakit nagtrabaho ka pa? Hindi ba pupunta kayong Baler today?" Grace asked.

"Ha? Pa'no mo alam?" Risa asked confusedly.

Loren elbowed Grace.

"Ah. Nagpost si Sinta kanina sa instagram. Feeling excited daw." Loren explained.

"Ah, oo. Oo. Kaya nagtataka ako bakit andito ka pa." Grace added.

"Mamaya pang 3pm. Pero hindi namin kasama si Leni. Susunod nalang daw s'ya. Lilibutin nila MIMAROPA today, e. Ang aga ngang umalis kanina."

"Aaaah." Grace.

"Sama kayo?" Risa invited.

"Nako. H'wag na. Makakaistorbo lang kami. O'sya. Enjoy kayo." Loren.

Around noon, while Risa was fixing her things before going out to eat, one of her staff approached her, with a big smile, with a paper bag and a bouquet of flowers.

"Mada'am, sana all po." she said.

"Oh. Oh my god."

"Si mada'am, kala mo naman wala neto every year."

"I was not expecting this since wala naman s'ya dito." she said as she accepted the flowers and the paper bag.

"Well, manok ko yan!!" Grace shouted. Loren laughed.
