Law of Love

11

"I missed you."

Those three words crushed my whole world like hell. Its like a stabbed in my heart. Alyssa Sanchez. His supposed to be fiance but Tita disliked the idea of marrying this woman. I know the whole story why Matt is working plus going to Law School because of this woman. He doesn't want to marry any woman they picked for him since he thought it was just a waste of time. And the reason why they rarely visit their ancestors house because they will just keep on talking about her. And their engagement. Truth be told,rich people would degrade anyone just to get what they want. The same way Matt experience.

"Well...I dont missed you."malamig na saad ni Matt. Alyssa looked shocked on what he said.

His hands were still on my lap and hes pressing them lightly like he was holding to his sanity. I dont feel well at all since all their eyes were unto me,Matt and Alyssa.

"So rude."nakangising saad ni Aly.

Ang haba ng pangalan ang pangit naman.

Bulong ko sa sarili ko. Totoo naman! Judging by the way she was raising her browse irritates me. Sa totoo lang nawawalan na ako ng gana dahil sa nangyayari sa harap ko ngayon. Ren and Tita was quiet the whole time. They were not talking since ganito kabigat ang hangin sa loob ng bahay ng mga Sandoval's. Napansin ko hindi tumayo si Abuela matapos batiin si Aly. And she dont like happy. Or im just hallucinating. Whatever.

"Uhm...have a seat Aly."saad ng Tita ni Matt.

She smiled before walking to the vacant seat infront of me. The whole dinner I felt awkward. Ang hirap pala kapag na meet mo yung past ng man mo. Hes not my boyfriend pero akala ng lahat rito girlfriend niya ako. Naunang natapos si Tita sumunod naman si Ren. Tapos na rin ako ganoon din si Matt kaya tumayo na kami.

"Stay."saad ni Abuela. She stopped us from walking away.

"Sa kwarto lang ako. Deal with them first."I whispered enough for him to hear.

I was stunned when he gave me a peak on the lips before letting me go. I was about to walk away but Abuela talked again.

"You will also stay Ms. Reyes."magalang na saad ni Abuela.

Napakurap ako bago tumalima. I went back to my seat the way she wanted.

"Gusto ko kayong maka-usap dalawa. Kasama ka na Mari."saad niya matapos ang katahimikan.

She looked to Matt and me. Then her eyes went to Aly. She's done eating.

"Mari. I want you to know that Matt and Alyssa was supposed to get married but this guy did not agree. He leave thw house and went to Manila for his studies."dag-dag niya.

Nanatili akong tahimik. Nakayuko ako at nilalaro ang sariling mga kamay. Hindi ako kinakabahan sa Lola ni Matt pero sadyang intimedating lang talaga ang babaeng kaharap ko ngayon kaya kinakabahan ako.

"I want to ask both you about one thing. Isang tanong,isang sagot....kayo ba ni Matt ay may relasyon?"tanong niya.

Nagulat ako dahilan ng pag-angat ng tingin ko sa kanya. Matt looked calm and stern at the same time. Hindi ko mabasa ang emosyon niya. Alyssa looked at us waiting for our answers. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang isasagot ko! Ano sasabihin ko ba na wala? Or I would lie about us? Hindi ko alam!

"Yes or No. Do you guys in a relationship?"tanong niya ulit.

"Yes."sabay namin na sagot ni Matt. I looked at him and he just smirked at me. Like he was expecting my answer.

"Yes.She's my girlfriend."dag-dag niya.

"And,he's my boyfriend."I added and show glimpse of my smile.
