Novel & Cerita Farewell To The Past

After a few seconds, as if it finally recognized me, it leapt excitedly into my arms. I hadn’t been back in a year, yet it still remembered me, and it was closest to me. I gently stroked its head, and a bitter feeling welled up in my chest. Years ago, Felix had been just as attached to me. Every time I got home from work, he would press his forehead into the hollow of my neck and murmur, “Autumn, I missed you so much.” For a brief moment, I felt as if I had returned to the days when we were deeply in love—as if the ten years we spent together were nothing more than a dream. Yet now, the dream was over.

As despair settled over me, Zeke pressed a few buttons on his phone, deleting my contact information along with every trace of our past. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I could only watch as it all disappeared. And then, as if erasing me wasn't enough, he discarded his phone, got down on one knee before Brooke, and pulled out a ring. "Brooke Fuller, the past is nothing but dust in the wind. Right now, I only want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" Dust in the wind? I let out a bitter smile. I could tell it didn't hurt anymore.

"But if nothing happens to me in this year and I marry Claire, you can cancel this request." "Why another twenty years?" the lawyer asked. Alex sighed and smiled sadly, "If I die and leave Claire alone, I hope that after twenty years, she will have forgotten me and married someone else. I don't want her to keep remembering me. I want her to have her own life, find someone better than me, and move on quickly. After twenty years, she might have one or two children. At that time, I want her to still remember me as a man who once loved her and perhaps forgive the mistakes I hid from her."

Instead of going forward, they were going backward. To fix the past that was beyond any redemption.

During a backstage interview afterward, a reporter asked, "Why did you choose this particular piece?" I smiled gently and answered quietly, "'The Farewell Waltz' is the music through which I first encountered love and now it's the piece that helps me say goodbye. "Playing it reminds me of past happiness, but it also lets me fully move on. Life is full of goodbyes, but not all goodbyes mean regret. Sometimes they mark a new beginning." When I returned home, life became busy and fulfilling again, fully occupied with music and performances. Perhaps I'd truly let go. I rarely thought about Evan anymore. It was as if he'd become merely a spectator in a chapter of my past.

Tonight was not just another party; it was a farewell to her past, a goodbye to the life she had known. In her hands, she clutched a beautifully wrapped gift for Robert and Margaret—something thoughtful to express her gratitude for all they had done for her over the years. But as she stared at the majestic entrance, memories flooded her mind: laughter, warmth, and the haunting echoes of moments spent with Ethan. She hesitated, the weight of nostalgia pressing down on her. This was the last time she would step foot in this place. After tonight, she would be moving to another city, leaving behind everything that had once defined her.

I think I'm starting to fall in love with you. Without Kenzo and Khanza noticing, someone was watching from behind the wall beside the open door. He — Keanu, was observing Kenzo and Khanza while clenching his fists. His jaw tightened and the next second, Keanu closed his eyes. Beside him, Ven's transparent figure looked just as frustrated. Keanu had heard everything from Ven. All the things that happened to Khanza and their connection with what happened two hundred years ago. “Keanu, I really can't see big sister Khanza and big brother Kenzo like this. I won't be able to see history repeating itself. Because I remember all my life in the past. This is too much, Keanu. Can't they be happy?"

She ended with a sigh. Pat pouted. "Yeah, maybe that's really why. The old secretary got fired mysteriously–or it was until we saw you," "I feel bad," Liana sadly said, thinking about someone suddenly losing a job like what happened to her. "Same but Kai doesn't. You know, someone like him easily throws people out if he finds them unuseful anymore," Pat replied, shaking her head in disappointment. She continued eating afterwards. Liana felt the same disappointment Pat felt. Kai's attitude is really trash.

So, thank the past for a better future. . #TBC

“Farewell, Xavier.” END
