[2 Months: 3]
"Leni? Nakauwi ka na ba?"
Risa was just knocking at Leni's unit door, now ready to confront her about what happened and why she was staying away from her. Eventually, Leni would open the door and greet the tall professor standing on the doorway.
"Hi.. Risa." The smaller professor shyly greets the taller, making Risa smile a bit.
"Can I come in?" Leni nods as her answer, now Risa enters her unit; Leni closing the door after.
"Sorry, medyo makalat. You were unexpected." Leni explains the mess around her unit, which Risa definitely didn't mind at all. "No, it's fine. I don't really mind."
The two sat on the sofa; Risa is still not changing her clothes from work because instead of going to her own unit first, she goes to Leni. She places her bag beside her as they sit in silence for a while, before Leni breaking it first.
"So.. ano ang punta here? Thought you were avoiding me." Leni began the conversation.
"Not anymore. Hindi kita matiis." Risa said.
Ay? Sino ba naman ako? Leni thought. "Huh. Nagulat nalang ako bigla na hindi mo ako pinansin bigla. You were literally avoiding my chats as well. Nakakatampo rin, alam mo yun?"
Risa sighed before answering, "Sorry.. just had to clear my mind up. Kamusta na kayo ni Migs?"
That made Leni laugh which she immediately thought that maybe was the reason Risa was avoiding her for almost 2 months. "Yan ba dahilan kung bakit iniwasan mo ko?"
Risa stares at her with wide eyes; freezing at the moment, "Hindi naman sa ganun! Gusto ko lang kayong kamustahin dalawa! Diba he gave you flowers before?" Of course, Risa also cannot say the real reason; just like Leni.
Leni chuckles and sighing before answering the question, "About that, he gave me flowers and asked me to be his girlfriend. But guess what I did next?"
Risa lends both of her ears and eyes just to hear the full story while looking at Leni but she can't help but to say inside of her head, Your eyes are so unique. "What did you do?"

At the Bellarmine Field
"Ayie! Sana all!" The gathered students around them started cheering for Migs and Leni as Migs came in with a bouquet of flowers above his hands, while Leni was just standing there; looking at him.
She doesn't know what to feel actually; this is inside of the university and is literally public and some students literally know her.
"For you, Leonie." Migs as he started walking towards Leni, handing her the bouquet. Leni doesn't know what to do next, so she took the bouquet even if she's hesitant about it.
"Uhm.. thanks." That's all Leni can say about that.
At the background, there was Risa, watching at the scene for a brief moment before turning away and walking away from the scene.
Leni didn't miss the chance to catch her; she watches as Risa walks away with one of her hands placed on her left chest. That, immediately made Leni felt like something's going to be wrong with this one.
She doesn't want this also. She wants to catch up to Risa, but she couldn't.
"Leonie, I've been wanting to say this for so long. Now, I think this is the perfect moment for me to say it to you." Migs grabbed both of Leni's hands; holding them both as Leni keeps the bouquet steady with her forearm.
