Behind the Curtains - LenRisa

Benguet

"Sige na. Maligo ka na at magready. Ako na magluluto ng umagahan. Nakakahiya naman kung malate ka pa diba."

Risa slowly turned her back from Leni and went inside the bedroom to prepare. Leni continued preparing for breakfast but she was throwing a tantrum while doing so.

At talaga namang sasama s'ya ha! She said while beating the eggs aggressively.

Sayo lang ako. Sayong-sayo lang. Leni mimicking Risa.

May paganon-ganon pa pero isang yayaan lang, sasama naman! Alam naman niyang naaasar na ako. Nananadya ba siya?!

After Leni finished cooking, she also prepared the table but the way she put the plates and mugs was too loud that they would almost break.

"Dahan-dahan naman, Pangga." Risa said as she went out from the bedroom.

"Oh. Bakit hindi ka pa nakaligo?" Leni asked sarcastically.

"Nag-ayos muna ako ng mga gamit."

"O siya. Kumain ka na."

"Kumain ka na rin. Baka malate tayo."

"Anong tayo?" Leni asked confusedly.

"Sabi ko kay Lucy, sasama ako basta kasama kita. And she happily said, yes. She's excited pa nga, e. Don't worry. Naayos ko na din mga gamit mo." and she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Tell me you are joking, Ana Theresia."

"No. I am serious mada'am Maria Leonor. So let's eat. They will pick us up daw at 7am. Oh. Tinawagan ko din pala si Rona. Sabi ko gusto ko siyang isama. She will meet us downstairs."

"Risa! No. Malalaman nilang magkasama tayo sa iisang bahay! At bakit naman kasama pa si Rona? Imbes pahinga din nung tao."

"Pangga. Malamang sinabi ko pong pupuntahan kita para sabay na nila tayong masundo. And don't tell me na hindi ka sanay sa hiking-hiking na yan kasi kung saan-saan ka na nakarating noh. And it would be more fun with Rona. Wala lang. Namiss ko din siyang kasama."

"Namiss kasama. Sabihin mo, para may kakampi ka. Ayoko. Nakakapagod masyado. Kung gusto mo makita at makasama si Lucy, h'wag mo na ako idamay."

Risa stood up and hugged Leni from her side.

"Ang cute mo pala magselos noh, Pangga."

Leni gave Risa a deadly stare.

"They are already expecting us. Knowing vice president Leni, nahihiya yon magcancel. Nagcacancel lang yon kapag may emergencies talaga."

"Sa sobrang alam mo na ng mga galaw ko, hindi na ako natutuwa."

"Well, I guess I won again, my VP?" and Risa stuck out her tongue.

"May araw ka rin, senator Risa. Sinasabi ko sa'yo, hindi lang talaga tulak aabutin mo saakin."

Risa kissed Leni's forehead.

"Kain na tayo. H'wag masyadong mainitin ang ulo. Nakakapangit yon." Risa teased.

Leni rolled her eyes.

At exactly 7am, Risa received a call from Lucy telling they are already downstairs waiting for them. Risa and Leni went down immediately.

"Pangga, smile naman dyan." Risa said while they were in the elevator.

"Tigilan mo ako, Ana Theresia. Walang nakakatuwa. Ikaw ang yabang-yabang mo. H'wag kang magrereklamo kapag hindi mo kayanin mamaya ha!"

"Opo. Hindi ako magrereklamo. Smile kana, please. Baka sabihin niyan ni Lucy, mataray ka."
