Arrange Marriage [Ongoing]

Chapter 8

Mikhael's POV

It was already 7 in the morning when I woke up so I decided to check Jaz if she's still sleeping. I carefully opened the door and peek through it.

"She's still sleeping" I said myself and closed the door carefully so that she doesn't wake up.

I decided to cook something for Jaz to eat because I was going to leave before she woke up, I don't want her to see me. I cooked pinakbet because it's her favorite food. I have complete ingredients because my pantry is full, I'm sure Gian bought them. After I finished cooking, I washed the dishes to clean the kitchen before I left. I also left a note for Jaz to wake up with. After I finished cleaning, I left immediately so Jaz wouldn't catch me, I didn't want us to fight.

I was about to board the elevator when I noticed something written on it. "Under maintenance" I read as it was written in paper.

"Oh great, now I'm going to use stairs" I said myself and hurried my way to stair. As I was going down the stairs, I looked in my pocket to see if the car key was there, but it wasn't there. I looked at the wall sign to see if what floor am I already.

"9th floor?!" I said as I panicking.

"Aakyat na naman ako?! Fuck this life, napakamalas ko today" I said out loud but no one can hear me 'cause I'm the only one there.

When I got to the 16th floor, I was panting and sweating profusely. I opened the door using my keycard and as soon as I entered my condo, Jaz suddenly came out of my room. We looked into each other's eyes and she just stared at me while standing. I broke the silence and looked at the sofa, I saw my car key.

"I'll just get my key" and walk straight at it as I took it and was about to leave when Jaz hugged me from the back.

"Mikhael, please stay. Please explain, makikinig ako" Jaz said and still hugging so I face at her.

"Jaz, we have nothing more to talk about, I'm getting married" I replied to her while staring into her eyes.

"How could you say that while staring into my eyes" Jaz responded to me and her tears were falling slightly, I was about to wipe them away when she slapped my hand away.

"W-wag mo akong hawakan, Mikhael. You cheated on me, h-how dare you" Jaz said while stuttering and her tears started to burst.

"I'm sorry Jaz, I did what I could" I respond to her without looking in to her eyes. I know to myself that I didn't cheated on her, I just followed what my family wanted.

I was about to approach her to hug her but she suddenly slapped me. It hurts, but it hurts more to see that I hurt the person I love.

"I said don't touch me, Mikhael!" She shouted at me.

"S-sana totoo lahat ng mga sinasabi mo kasi p-pakiramdam ko, nagsisinungaling ka lang sa akin, I-I know you love me. Advance happy 8th to us" Jaz said before walking out of my sight and left my condo.

I stayed where I was standing, even though I wanted to cry, no tears fell from my eyes. I can't believe I hurt my first girlfriend. Even though she wasn't my first love, she was the first one I courted.

Flashback

"Mikhael para kang timang nakakainis ka, bakit mo binato tsinelas ko ron sa gitna ng court, andami-daming naglalaro" Jaz said while hitting my arm and I can't stop laughing at her reaction.

I've been friends with Jaz for two years, we met at dad's company because I bumped into her while I was rushing out of the building. We are here because I invited her to watch the game, it hasn't started yet so they warm up first.
