He Who Loved The Monster (V Series #1) (PUBLISHED)

X - Let Him Go

Tanya's POV

I'm on my way sa The Villamor Hotel. Kanina pa nauna do'n si Mom. May dinner kasi kami with Keith and his parents. We're going to talk about our upcoming wedding and plan for it. They want us to get married as soon as possible after our graduation. I sighed. I don't even know kung paano ko sasabihin sa kanila na wala nang wedding na mangyayari.

Yes, I'm ready to let go of Keith. After talking toJuliana last night, I suddenly had a lot of realizations. I realized that Keith doesn't deserve me the way I don't deserve him. He doesn't deserve to be miserable for the rest of his life just because he was forced to marry a girl he doesn't love. At ganon din naman ako. I don't deserve a guy na papakasalan ako dahil napilitan siya.

"Ma'am Tanya." Napalingon ako when our driver called me. He already opened the car door for me. "Nandito na po tayo. Tumawag na po sa akin si Ma'am Taira. Kailangan na daw po kayo sa loob."

"Oh, okay, kuya. Thanks." Sabi ko na lang. I didn't even know na nakarating na kami because I was spacing out.

Bumaba na ako at pumasok sa hotel. One of the receptionists ushered me papunta sa penthouse where our dinner will be held. Maraming kumakain sa penthouse ngayon, nandito kasi ang isa sa mga restaurants ng The Villamor Hotel, But I immediately spotted Keith. He looks so cold. Ibang-iba sa aura niya usually.

"Hi, Tito, Tita." Lumapit na ako sa kanila and kissed both of their cheeks at ganon din ang ginawa ko kay Mom. "Sorry for the delay. Natagalan po ako sa pag-aayos." I apologized. They said it's fine at pinaupo na ako sa tabi ni Keith. "Hey, Keith." I tried kissing his cheek pero nilayo niya ang sarili niya sa akin.

"So, Tanya. What kind of wedding ba ang gusto niyo?" Tita Kristina asked me.

"Well, Tita. What do you think of a beach wedding? I've always dreamed of a beach wedding during sunset." I replied. Tita Kristina and Mom looks thrilled when they heard my suggestion.

"Hmm, that's great, hija. Tamang-tama kasi meron kaming resort sa isang beach sa Puerto Galera." Tito Kier agreed to me.

"Wow. That's good. And of course, ako na ang bahala sa food. I have a set of new dishes that I'm planning to introduce sa El Dominguez soon. I think it's great kung sa wedding nila Tanya ko unang ise-serve ,yon." Mom chimed in.

Napatingin na lang ako sa kanila while they're talking. They seem really excited for the wedding. They all want to be involved. And it seems like I'll have a hard time telling them the truth.

"How about you, Keith? May gusto ka bang idagdag sa plans namin para sa wedding?" Tita asked him so we all turned our attentions to him.

He let out a fake laugh. "Whoa. You're asking for my opinion now? That's new. Sana tinanong niyo na rin muna ako if I want this wedding to happen." He said with a mocking tone.

"Keith." Saway ni Tito sa kanya. "Wag kang bastos."

"I'm not. I'm just being real." Sagot niya kay Tito. "Excuse me. I just need a break from seeing your faces." He stood up and left bago pa makapag-react sila Tito at Tita. Tita tried to stop him but he just ignored her.

"Bastos talaga 'yang anak mo, Kristina." Tito Kier looks and sounds calm but he's clenching his fists.

"God! I'm really sorry about Keith." Tita apologized to us. "Excuse me, I'll just follow him."

"No need, Kristina." We turned our attention to her nang magsalita siya. She looked at me bago nagsalita ulit. "Tanya, sweetie, I think you and Keith should talk. I know I raised you right, sweetheart. I know you know the right thing to do." She held my hand and gave me an encouraging smile.
