"Hon, wake up!" Liza said while shaking Bong's shoulder.

"Why are you still sleeping are you ok? Maaga ka naman natulog last night, ba't parang puyat ka?"

Bongbong opened one eye and saw Liza standing in front of her, all dressed up.

"Yes Hon, babangon na. San ka pupunta?" He asked.

"I have an important meeting today, may dapat daw ayusin sa business natin sa New York. I'll try to talk to the board to see if it can be sorted out here. Kung hindi, then I think I would have to go there." Liza said.

"Ok Let me know how it goes so that I could pack my things too," Bong responded.

"No hon, I think you should stay. You have a visitor downstairs waiting for you. Go take a shower and get ready." Liza kissed his forehead and headed out the door.

Sa sobrang antok niya, he forgot to ask Liza who the visitor was. He was so tired from fighting his thoughts last night and he just wants to sleep.

He was about to close his eyes again when he heard someone running up the stairs and opened the door.

"Bonggggeeeet!!!!" It was Manang Imee.

"Jusko naman tong ading ko, tanghali na oh, nakahilata ka pa din jan?"

"Manang naman! What is it? I'm so tired, can we talk next time? " Bong said.

"Hoy! anong next time ka jan, this is important. "

Bong tried to ignore manang and covered his whole body and face with a blanket. Ganito na kasi tlaga silang magkakapatid, whenever they're together, para pa din silang mga bata. They're so comfortable with each other that they can act childish.

" Filing of COC na, why don't you run again. As president this time." Manang said.

Bongbong was so surprised by what manang said that he quickly got up from the bed.

"Whaaat? You want me to run? Manang naman, I've been through hell and back because of the Vice-presidential race 6 years ago. Ayoko na maulit yun. It was a difficult time for me and our family. " Bong said.

"Bong, habang may buhay, may pag asa. Malay mo, you are meant for the presidency." Imee responded.

"Manang, even if I run, I won't win. The president's daughter is running diba anong laban ko dun?"

"Ahhh.. si Sara. She won't run I know her. We're actually friends"

"Wow close kayo? How sure are you that she won't?" Bong asked.

"Basta! I just know. And to answer your question, yes very close." Imee said.

"Talaga lang ha" Bong suddenly found himself smiling when manang said that she was very close with Sara.

"Hoy! anong ngini ngiti ngiti mo jan? kanina lang inis ka ngayon smile smile na? nababaliw ka na ba?"

"Manang naman eh! May naalala lang po" he said with a smirk.

"Naku! Nabaliw na nga ata tong ading ko, Oh ano na, will you run?"

"I have to think about it Manang, I think it's a big decision to make. I'll get back to you on that."

"Ok sige, Bonget. I'll give you until tomorrow to decide ok?" manang said.

"Bukas na agad? What's with the rush?"

"Well to tell you honestly brother dear, I spoke to Sara and convinced her to run as your VP instead. So if ayaw mo, we'll just go to Mayor Isko."

"What? Manang you just asked me today, pero naplano mo na pala lahat?" He frowned.

"Basta!!! looking forward to hearing from you bukas." She made beso and left as quick as lightning.

"My VP, will be Sara Duterte?.. that enchanting woman? Kaya siguro di ko sya maalis sa isip ko kagabi pa. Maybe this is a sign for the elections and not what I thought it was" He thought to himself then let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Kala ko ano na tong nararamdan ko divine intervention lang pala. Hay loko kang bonget ka" he said while stroking his hair.

"Makaligo na nga!"

IN DAVAO CITY -----

Riiiiing....Riiiing.. Sara's phone rang while she was laying down in bed.

"Hello?" she answered

Imee: Hi Sara! It's Imee.

"O sis, ikaw pala yan. Bat iba number?" She asked.

Imee: This is my other number. My other phone's battery died kasi. Anyway, I called to tell you that my brother will make a decision tomorrow.

"Aba ang arte naman pala ng Jr. na yan. Ako, si Sara Duterte, pinag iisipan pa? Baka masapak ko yan pag nagkita na kami" she jokingly said.

Imee: Sige support kita jan, feeling ko kailangan talaga din ng sapak yun e para maka move on sa nangyari nung 2016. Hahahaha

They both laughed.

Imee: O sya sige. I'll give you an update bukas.

"Yes please. Para di na ako mapilit ng tatay ko. Feeling ko kasi di pa ako ready for the presidency. I'm still young. At 43, marami pa akong kakaining bigas when it comes to handling a national post kaya being VP is the smartest move for me." Sara said.

Imee: Wait, di pa alam ng president?

"Nope di pa. Ikaw ituturo ko pag nagalit. Malakas tama nun sayo e! Hahaha."

Imee: hoyy loka loka.. pero yes I agree, mejo tinamaan sakin yun hahaha. O sige na bye na!

"Bye sis, talk to you tomorrow" then she hung up the phone.

Then Sara thought, "Oo nga noh, I haven't met Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Personally, I only saw him on TV. Pero bakit sa mga kwento ni manang parang I feel like I know him na? Mukha din kasing mabait kaya lang seryoso. Well I think we will be a perfect match. Seryoso sya, manong na manong dating, then here I am, the makulit, bubbly and of course magandang Sara D." Hahahah she smiled at her own thoughts. "Naku Sara lakas talaga ng hangin mo" she said out loud.

THE NEXT DAY IN THE MARCOS HOUSE...

"Hi hon, are you leaving na?" Bong asked Liza.

"Yes, my flight is at 1 pm today. Heads up! It may take me a while in New York but while I'm there, I'll try to visit our Sons in London. Good luck on your campaign and I'm sorry kung hindi kita masasamahan urgent lang talaga to, but I'll try to get back soon okay?"

"Wait I'll send you off," Bong said. "Never mind hon, I have the driver ready, plus manang is downstairs waiting for you.

"Liza kissed her husband goodbye and headed to the door.

"Oh shoot! Oo nga pala" he hurriedly went downstairs to meet manang.

"There you are, do you have any idea how long I've been waiting here?"Imee said.

"Sorry manang mejo na busy ako sa pag alis ni Liza but here I am." He said.

"So ano na nga, will you accept Sara??"

"Yes, I do. Este I am. Ay.. I will!!"

Nabigla si Imee sa narinig at biglang humagalpak ng tawa.

"hahaha anong yes i do? Kasal yarn? Ang cute talaga nitong baby brother ko" manang said while pinching his cheeks.

"Manang naman, nataranta lang, makatawa ka naman wagas! Oo na nga!" He said with annoyed tone.

"O sya sige! I'll talk to Sara and we'll schedule a meeting with her, I'll call you soon pag confirmed na. Bye!"

Manang left Bong in the living room.

As soon as she went out the door, napahawak si Bong sa noo nya.

"Anong I do bonget? Kung ano ano tlga laman nyang utak mo" natatawang sabi nya sa sarili.
