MATT's POV
I woke up feeling a heavy thing resting on my chest. My arms are numb, I scratched my temple and rub my eyes as I waken my senses. A ray of soft light exposing Anda on my side. Her head placed in my chest, sleeping like a child.
I brushed my fingers against her soft untangled hair. Her lips curled forming a sweet smile. "Good morning, baby" she greeted me with her raspy voice while her eyes are still shut. How can she be this cute after what happened last night?
I hold up her chin to leave a peck on her lips. "Good morning, my love"

I already left her condo and went home to my penthouse to prepare myself for the meeting later.

On my way to my dad's office, I saw a woman figure sitting at her front desk. I made my entrance and greet them as respect. "Oh right on time, I was about to call you earlier, Matteah" He's gaze landed on me as soon as I opened the door.
"Good morning po sir, and to y—" I was cut off by the woman standing in front of me. "Hi pretty, it's been so long" my mouth was in agape as soon as I realized that Deej found me again.
"Anak why didn't you tell me na magkakilala na pala kayo ng anak ng tito Ralph mo" what? Come on! Not just magkakilala, I even cursed her name before and promised myself na I will definitely kill her once I see her again.
"Of course tito, Matteah was my great love and will always be" hell nah, there's no way dad gotta believe her nonsense. "Of course not" I protested.
"She was ONLY a SCHOOLMATE, dad" I sharply denied her delusions.
"It's alright, anak. Besides ikakasal narin kayo soon." Whattt!??! Can somebody please tell my father to make some sense!? "No" my voice is not breaking while my eyes are glaring at them.
"I will not marry her, I have a girlfriend. Now will you excuse me, I have a lot of work to do" I turned by back before he could even speak. I can feel the depth of anger growing inside him because of what I acted.

My mind is racing and I'm feeling exhausted even though it's still early. I decided to take a quick visit to Anda's office to have my rest.
I saw Meriel standing at her frontdoor and was about to knock. "Meriel" I called for her coldly. She looked at me arrogantly. Kung alam lang nila kung gaano ako kainis sa tao na 'to.
Her family and mine are good old friends, well sila dad and lolo lang of course. I hate her so much, or more likely I feel jelous of her. My dad really adore her, parang mas anak pa nga ang turing niya kay Meriel.
We're always on a competition, I feel like I have the need to prove myself to everyone that I'm better than her. "Matteah, looking good huh"
"Yeah, what do you need this time?" I asked her, annoyance was evident in my expression. "It's none of your business"
She smirked.
She enters the room and Anda was shocked to see her again. I followed after her and I can see how my darling softened her gaze. She smiled at me widely and I did the same. "Alexandra right?" Meriel started the conversation. "Engr. Acosta, ma'am" Anda introduced herself.
"Right, I have some important matters to discuss with you. Especially about the next project you're holding" Anda looked at me and I know what she meant. I excuse myself and head outside her office.
A big sighed let out of my mouth as I laid my back on my chair. Sumagi naman sa isip ko ang mga sinabi sa akin ni dad kanina. Sana wala siyang gawin na ikasasakit ko at ni Anda.

Anda's POV
Miss De Jesus already left and I decided to text Matteah.
**************
Langga<3
Mahal ko, let's have lunch together. What do you think? Also I have something for you :3
____________________
Time skip.....
Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain sa restaurant malapit sa company. I noticed how silent Matteah is. Hindi naman siya ganito tuwing magkasama kami. "Ayos ka lang, mahal ko?" Halatang nabigla siya sa tanong ko at agad na tumingin sa akin.
"Yes, love" matipid na sagot nito at ngumiti.
"Uhmmm alam mo ba, I have a project in Cebu also" I excitedly told her. She looked at me signaling to continue.
"Mabait rin pala si miss De Jesus, she personally recommend me to handle that project. Sabi niya she saw one of my works before and she's amazed" she's nodding her head agreeing to my statement. I noticed how her mood shift. "Really? Th-that's nice"
"Are you really okay, mahal ko?" I asked again. Hindi ko na mapigilan mag-alala dahil hindi naman siya ganito. "I'm just tired." I reached for her hand and gently squeeze it.
Matt's POV
Yung totoo? Gusto ko nalang matulog para matapos na 'tong araw na 'to. Kanina pa niya bukambibig si Meriel and it really annoy the fuck out of me.
"Love?" She snapped me off my thoughts. I mumble as I respond to her. "Hmmm love, we have to go na. Lunchtime is done."
Fast forward.....
Time move slower as I sank deep in my thoughts. My phone rings, flashing my father's name. I swallowed a lump in my throat as I answer the call. "You have to break-up with your girlfriend. Kilala ko na ang tinutukoy mo and really? Isang katulad niya ang gugustuhin mo?" His voice sounds insulting me and my decisions. I don't want to hear any of his nagging, I just wanna hangup and runaway.
"Dad, you don't know her and you don't get a say to whoever I want to be with." I stand my ground, fighting against his will. Alam ko ang nararapat sa akin, dad. Sisiguraduhin ko na matatanggap niyo rin si Anda.
"No Matteah!! I will never let this go. You're being an ungrateful brat! Wala ka talagang kwenta katulad ng nanay mo-" I ended the call but his words echoed in my ears stabbing my chest spontanously. Please stop, I don't want to hear it anymore. I just want to make you proud of me.
My tears swelled up and start falling as I turned my back and ran away from my office. I jump in to my car to drove and let the road leads me somewhere.
My heart becomes heavier, I can't breathe. My grip thightened on the steering wheel. My tears won't stop. My chest is about to explode in anger and sadness.
