MATT's POV
"Anything for you, Anda"
Those words are true and I can't imagine na if may mangyaring masama sa kaniya at wala ako doon, baka hindi ko mapatawad ang sarili ko.
"You don't have to, ayokong napapa-away ka nang dahil lang sa'kin" I can hear how worried she is. She's even blaming herself after what happened earlier. I hold her hand and caress it gently. "Hindi ka basta lang sa akin Anda. You mean so much to me."
I am so scared to confess my feelings towards her. I'm scared na after this mawala na lang kung ano man meron kami ngayon. But I'll take every risks, just to have her mine.
I enhaled sharply and confessed everything I have.
"Everything about you matters to me. I know this might be so random pero gusto ko palagi ka lang nasa tabi ko. I don't want to start or end my day without you being in it. You make me so happy and kahit ako hindi ko alam kung bakit. I think I like you, Anda. No, I like you."
Tears starts to form in my eyes. I keep looking at Anda's eye and suddenly, a water starts to stream down her face. She's crying. I cupped her face and asked her "Do you like me too?"
She hugged me and whisper in my ear. "I like you too, Matt." Tama ba ang naririnig ko? She likes me too? I tighten the hug and buried my face on her neck.
"Thank you, Anda. You made me the happiest person today" I released the hug and face her straight. I looked for her hands and kiss the back of it.

We're about to go home at tapos narin ang pag stay namin rito sa La Union. The ride was quiet but somehow comforting.
I noticed Anda is already sleeping. I parked the car on the roadside. I lean closer to her adjusting her seat. I can sense her scent. She smells nice and sweet. I look carefully at her face, how can be a person looked like this. Kamukha niya si mama mary, eyes closed and lips are red.
_
The road was long but I'm not even tired after the drive. Maybe because I'm with my pahinga. "Anda, we're almost home" I slightly tap her shoulder to wake her up.
She slowly opened her eyes rubbing it to waken her self. "I'm sorry if tinulugan kita"
"It's fine, as long as nakapag pahinga ka na" she smiled at me sweetly.
_
"Come inside first, gabi na rin at pagod ka pa sa biyahe." She insist. I entered the room and look for tita Arya. I greeted her as I take her hand for a bless. "Kumain na ba kayo anak"
"Yes po tita, nag drive thru po kami on the way home"
"Ano ka ba, sabi ko sa'yo mama na lang ang itawag mo sa akin eh" I smiled shyly as I felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach. It feels good to be accepted by others.
"Mama dito na po matutulog si Matt, gabi na rin at mahaba pa biniyahe namin" Anda stated as she's asking for permission. Medyo nakakahiya pero gusto ko rin makasama pa si Anda. "Oo naman anak, mukhang pagod narin si Matt. Magtabi na kayo sa kwarto mo."
_
We enters Anda's room. An awkward silence filled the room. "Hmm.. mag shower lang ako". As Anda is in the bathroom, I start to wonder inside her room. I saw a baby picture of her with kuya Bry. She's cute and her hair is dark as a charcoal.
I was sitting on the side of the bed when Anda come out from the bathroom. Nakatupis lang siya ng tuwalya at nakabagsak ang basang buhok sa kaniyang balikat. I scan her figure as I was familiarizing her body and linking it in my mind. I quickly turned around to give her some privacy.
"I'm done na, you can look na rin"
From that being hot a seconds ago, she turned cute in her paired pjs.
I took the towel she gave me and make my way to the bathroom to freshen up myself. After I got out, she handed me a red silk paired pjs. It's nice and warm too.
I lay down beside her and the rain starts pouring outside. "Goodnight, Matteah"
Speaking softly I planted a kiss on her forehead "Goodnight, my Anda"
Time skip...
We are about to have our vacation. The semester has ended and we all start the summer trip away from each other.
Since the night we confessed together, hindi parin namin alam kung ano ba talaga kami ni Anda. We act like lovers pero hindi parin official. Even our friends are cofused about pur set up.

Cali: Guys let's go out naman oh.
Sab: Sure ate, I'll ask bebe para may kasama pa tayo.
Tara xylo
Cali: let's goo!!!
---------------------------------------------------
At Xylo.....
We decided to go out today, since wala naman kaming ibang gagawin. When we enter the club, loud music and alcohol reeks welcomed us all.
We were having fun drinking and dancing together. The night is so wild and free. It feels good na makipag get together with Cal and Sab kasama rin si Gayle.
I haven't called or text Anda today, my last message was still on read. Baka busy siya kaya hindi makareply.
While I was dancing, a girl approached me. It was Deej. "Hey Matt, mind if I have you tonight" I'm kinda tipsy na and feel hot because of the alcohol. But my mind is still straight. I quickly avoid her and went to the restroom. As I was facing the mirror, Deej enters the room and even closed the door.
"You've been playing hard to get too much, drop your wall. I know you want me too" She fiercely said as she pins me on the sink and attacked to kiss me. I was caught off guard by her sudden action.
I heard the door opened, someone saw us. I defensively push Deej back and find Cali.
"Cal, I have to go"
I ran outside the bar to look for the girl who saw us. I can still remember how her face awe in shock. Tears flowing down her cheeks as she watched me and Deej kissed.
ANDA's POV
I just got home earlier, galing sa Cebu. Mama and I decided to visit our hometown since bakasyon ko narin. I didn't tell Matt about it. I want to surprise her kasi.
I texted Cali to ask if nasaan ang pinsan niya. She told me na they are at the bar. The girls and I decided na sumunod don and join them. I guess masusurprise si Matt to se me later.
_
We started to look for Cali and the other. Maisie saw Cali dancing with Sab and Gayle. We approached them and asked if nasaan si Matt. "Nag cr lang saglit" Sab replied.
I followed where Matt is. As I enter the restroom, I feel like I was stabbed on the heart a thousand times. I can't breathe properly and tears started to fall out of my eyes. The betrayal was too loud but I can't hear anything rather than my heart breaking.
I runaway before she even speaks, I don't know what to feel. I want to go home.
I saw them. I saw them kissing.
