Being a Widow Because of Widow
Farewell to friends

"Honey, Yuxian wants to meet us. He said there was something he wanted to tell us. I don't mind if we cover going to MCD to meet my best friend. Xian-Ge said it would be the last time we met" Melissa said.

"End time? Whatchu mean?" Luciano scrunched his forehead.

"Let's see, I don't know what Gege meant by that either. Let's just listen to what he wants to say" Melissa replied.

While waiting for Yuxian to arrive, they ordered french fries, burgers, and soda. After a few minutes, Yuxian came and approached Luciano and his best friend. "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long" Yuxian said, sitting next to Melissa.

Luciano was not jealous of Yuxian sitting next to his future wife. He just thought that this Yuxian was Melissa's best friend. He should not be jealous of the man who has always protected his future wife.

"No, Ge. We haven't been waiting for you long. Oh yeah, Gege want what message? Let me handle it," Melissa bargained with a smile.

"Well, you rarely buy kunik gini. There's a fuckin' event," ledek Yuxian accompanied by his laughter.

"Don't, Xian-Ge!" Melissa pinched her best friend's stomach. "There's something we want to tell you" Melissa continued. He looked at his friend with a serious look.

"Aww .. geez, Mel. Sorry, I was just kidding. BTW, what do you want to tell me?" ask Yuxian.

"We're getting married soon, Xian-Ge. We'd like to invite you for the first time. We want you to be the first guest we invite. Gege wants to attend our wedding? Yeah, isn't it, Luci?" Melissa looked towards her future husband.

Luciano nodded with his smile. "Yes, Honey. I also want your best friend to be the first guest we invite. Are you coming, Yuxian?" luciano asked his wife's best friend.

The deg!

It was like being struck by lightning at that very moment. Yuxian felt his body stiff, his eyes perfectly patterned. Now he was pretty sure that he would never get Melissa let alone have her.

Once again, he had to give up the woman he loved so far to marry another man. However, this time he had already made the decision to go to China in accordance with his mother's decision. Either he's going to Melissa and Luciano's wedding or he's not. What was clear, right now his heart was completely wounded just that he was trying to hide with a smile.

"This is good news, Mel. Finally my best friend will soon be sold out again. I am so happy to hear this news. Congratulations on your marriage. Honestly, I would love to fulfill your wishes but I can't. It looks like I can't attend your wedding" Yuxian said in a heavy voice. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry in front of Melissa.

"But, why? What made you unable to attend, Ge? Do you hate me? Are you disappointed in me?" Melissa showed a sad expression upon hearing her best friend's reply.

"Because tonight I'm going to fly to China. It's time I left the country. After all I've seen you happy with a fit and nice guy. You two are very compatible. A matching couple. Oh yes BTW, I'm sorry for the commotion that my Mama made at your house. I don't know if my mom would do that. If only I knew I would prevent it. Luci, I'm sorry my mother, yes" explained Yuxian.

For a moment Melissa was silent, she could not believe that her best friend was going away from her life. This woman was so sad to hear this news. Now he will not see the humorous figure again, his best friend.

"Xian-Ge, is your departure because of me? Is our friendship going to end here?" Melissa looked at Yuxian with tears.

"Hey, Mel! Look and listen to me!" Yuxian cupped Melissa's cheeks in front of Luciano.

Melissa looked into the eyes of her best friend. "My departure is not because of you! All this is in my mother's decision. Mama wants me to learn how to manage Papa's business in China. This whole thing has nothing to do with you. Our friendship will remain as it was. I will be your best friend until I die. I will someday visit you anyway. So do you guys. You can come to my country." Yuxian explained with a gentle speech accompanied by her sweet smile.

"Promise? You're not leaving me?" Melissa thrusting so her pinky.

"I promise." Yuxian hooked her little finger with Melissa's little finger. "Then, I'll leave now. Luci, I'm handing Mel over to you. Take good care of him, never hurt him. I am sure you will live happily, I pray that you will last until death do you part. I'm saying goodbye." Yuxian moved from his seat.

"Xian-Ge wait!" Melissa held Yuxian's hand. Then he moved from his seat.

Melissa looked at her best friend's pain. "Ge, are we going to meet again?" melissa asked with tears in her eyes.

Yuxian fell on the palm below first Melissa. And the tears of his best friend fell on his palm. "It's lucky it didn't fall. Mel, we'll meet again someday. Maybe by the time we meet again, we'll both have families. So, never be afraid if we will not meet again because fate cannot separate our pure friendship. Believe me, I am always with you. Take good care of yourself, Mel. I'm leaving." Yuxian slowly let go of Melissa's hand.

Melissa who saw her best friend leave kept crying while shaking her head. "Gege, come to my wedding later! If you don't come, I'll hate you!" melissa shouted after Yuxian walked away.

Yuxian stopped and turned towards his best friend. He only responded with a smile and teary eyes. 'I'm not sure if I'd be hard pressed to see you with another man. I can't promise to come to your wedding day. I'm sorry, my friend.' Yuxian dropped her tears. Then she left Melissa with her future husband.

Meanwhile, Melissa kept crying. This was the first time he had ever parted with his best friend. He was like an older brother who had always taken care of him and cared for him. Of course if this parting he feels very lost.

Luciano, who saw his future wife crying, approached her. He held Melissa into his arms. "I understand how you feel, honey. Be patient, rest assured that one day you will meet again. This friendship of yours is truly sincere. I'm so moved to see you guys." Luciano stroked Melissa's back.

"Mas, I can't believe that we're going apart like this. I've considered him my own brother. But now, I have lost the figure of a brother who was always with me, looking after and taking care of me. He always managed to comfort me when I was sad. Hiks hyks." Melissa sniffles.

"I know exactly how you feel right now. But we have to respect his decision. Pray that your best friend will be okay there. Calm down, my future wife. I will replace Yuxian from this moment on" said Luciano.

SERIATE.....
