Charade
StartFragmentLeni's life was a charade. Jesse was womanizing. They were constantly arguing over money. Not that money was scarce. In fact, they had lots of it. It's just that Leni was vain, and Jesse was kuripot. Which explains why Leni was so fixated with material excess noong wala na si Jesse. Lagi sya pinagbabawalan. Bawal magpakita na may mamahaling gamit. Bawal ang mga signature na damit. Bawal bumili ng mamahaling mga sasakyan, bawal ang malaki at magarbong bahay. Tama na yung penthouse unit sa Lansbergh. Na pinalalabas na inuupahan nila sa ina at kapatid ni Jesse. Tama na yung Toyota Innova at simpleng bahay sa Dayangdang. Ang tanging luho ni Leni na pinagbibigyan ni Jesse ay ang mga foreign travels. Napakahilig dito ni Leni at alam ito ni Jesse kaya sya pinagbibigyan. But generally, bawal magpahalata. All this while Jesse was enjoying the company of other women, and was providing for more than just their needs. May mga anak si Jesse sa labas. Lahat ito alam ni Leni. And deep inside she was angry.
