I looked around to find where they were. And when I saw where they were I immediately approached them. It was as if the surroundings were in slow motion as I approached them. He turned his back on me so he did not notice me and also because they were busy with what they were talking about.
My heart was pounding as I approached them. I also can't take my eyes off him.
Focus Breann! God! You should be a goody shit infront of them I said in my mind. I got close to them but they still didn't feel my presence. I looked behind Keith and I smiled halfly. His manly shoulder that makes him look hot and attractive even though he is turned away. I was brought back to reality when I heard their laughter and I came closer.
"Ahem!" I fake cough
And there I grabbed their attention. Daddy look at me first
"My beautiful daughter. You're here" He said happily Then stood up and approached me.
"Dad." I greeted then we hugged and he was also the one broke away from the hug. I glanced at Keith parents. Their eyes both winded when they saw me. But Keith is still typing something on his cellphone while smiling playfully. I felt a pang in my chest.
I wanted to step back before he saw me because It breaks my heart seeing him having a conversation with someone and then he also look so happy with whom it is.
"️Sorry po . I'm late " I said to them
"No . It's fine . Ija . You were not that late" Tito said
"Breann Castify ? Is that you ? How come you didn't tell us that your father is the great Brinth Ashton Yu " His mom said unbelievably
I smiled at his mom and took a glance at him. I saw him stunned.
I frowned. He is not happy to see me? I smiled bitterly no matter what I expected when we met.
"Ah Hehehehe. Hi, Tito, Tita. How are you?" I just told them and then scolded and hugged them.
"We're fine. It's been awhile since we saw you. The last time we met was you are in the hospital" Tita said
I stopped at what he said and then glanced at Keith who was looking at me and he suddenly frowned when he heard what his mommy said.
"You know my daughter?" Daddy asked
Aunt Kate nodded "Hmm. We know her. She's the Girl ----" Aunt Kate didn't continue what she was going to say when Keith cut it off
"She's a Girl-friend of mine , Tito . We used to hang out back then,when we still in college that's why mom and dad know her" He stated .
It was as if something had pierced my chest that made me feel a little sick. Tita Kate frowned while Tito Dreindell looked at him seriously. I look at him blankly. I was happy I heard his voice but I was also hurt because of what he said.
"Oh, really? That's why .." Daddy said. I was stunned by what he said. So Keith's eyebrows narrowed while his parents are silently observing.
"That's why what , Tito?" He asked
I suddenly felt cold when I saw Daddy glance at me before answering his question.
"Hmm. That's why your mommy reacted like that, when she saw my daughter because you were friends" He explained
I breathed a sigh of relief because of Daddy's excuse.
"Let's sit so that we can start our dinner and have a conversation" Tito Dreindell said.
I sat down next to Daddy in front of Keith.
Tita + Keith + Tito
Table Table Table
Chair + Me + Daddy
When the food was served I bent down to eat my food. I did not look up because I knew our faces would meet then.
"So, I think your daughter doesn't have an idea about what is the reason behind this dinner, Kumpadre" Tito said while smiling looking at Daddy
I can't face him because I know I will only get hurt. Because I know he doesn't want to see me. If I could run out and leave our place I would have done it earlier. That I was back to reality when I felt they had calmed down.
I stopped eating and raised my head and glanced at them who were already looking at me. I wondered when I looked at them why they were staring at me.
Daddy cough so he grabbed everyone's attention.
"Breann, We are here to talk about your wedding" Daddy said to me
I looked at them. Especially to him. My wedding? But I thought I'm here for the arrangement. They don't say that Keith will not arrange for me ?. I was just asking for an arrangement not a wedding. I stopped completely because of what I thought and looked at them softly.
"With whom?" I asked seriously. I saw Daddy frown at my question. And suddenly I stopped talking Keith.
"With Me" I don't know if I'm just mistaken in hearing that there is an emphasis on his pronunciation of that word
"Hey , are you alright ?" Daddy asked
I saw Tita and Tito look at me then I took a glance at him but he's staring at me .
"Ah , yeah . Sorry , I was just thinking something . Ahmm . May I ask when our wedding is ?" I asked , I was lost because he stared at me.
"3 weeks after. It is just a secret marriage because that is what my son wants." Tito stated and I just nodded
"Ahm. Excuse us first. Castify and I will just go for a walk" He said
I genuine form in their lips and they nodded "Sure, sure. Have a quality time with each other" Tita said then giggled while Tito just nodded and smiled at us.
"Take good care of my daughter son" Daddy said and Keith nodded "Yes tito, I will" He said then grabbed my hand and pulled me out. My heart jumped when I felt something like electricity flow in my hand when I touched his hands and I smiled spontaneously.
How I miss this kind of feeling ... How I miss you and everything that we used to do ... T-T
But that's how the smile on my lips disappeared when we got out because he immediately let go of my hand.
"If I were you . You should back out in this shit" He said angrily
It was as if cold water was poured on me at what he said. And something pierced my heart because of the words he uttered. Now I know . He really doesn't want to. I smiled bitterly at him.
