Farewell Letter - Short Story
Farewell Letter
It was a beautiful Sunday and Andrea decided to go to the market that was near her home, she needed to buy some groceries, fruits and some cheese. The market was full of people walking between the merchandise stalls, but Andrea took her time choosing the juiciest fruits. Suddenly she felt that someone was pushing her and to her amazement they took her wallet, a young man who saw what happened ran behind the thief and after a fight he managed to recover the wallet and he handed it to the frightened woman.
"Take your wallet, my name is Alejandro."
"Thank you, my name is Andrea, I have no way of thanking you".
"Would you like us to go to dinner?" Alejandro asked.
"Yes", Andrea answered since the young man seemed very handsome.
They went to a small Italian restaurant near the center. Andrea was very nervous and excited about the appointment, she put on a nice red dress and went to meet Alejandro. They had a nice time and they realized that they had many things in common, they agreed to see each other again.
The months passed and Andrea and Alejandro became inseparable, they were in love and happy to be together. But one day Alejandro told Andrea that he had to move from the city, he had a job offer that he could not refuse, this news caused a lot of tension in the couple since Andrea did not want to leave the city where she had a good job and a nice home.
Andrea was very sad and did not want to leave Alejandro, but she loved him and wanted the best for him, if he was going to have better job opportunities in another city then she was not going to stop him. The day of the departure was very sad, but Andrea knew it was an excellent job opportunity, she said goodbye with a kiss and a goodbye.
The months passed, Andrea maintained a constant communication with Alejandro, they talked on the phone every night and once a month he visited her at home. Alejandro was thinner and had a grizzly countenance, but Andrea thought it was because of the work, so she did not give it much importance. She prepared him rich dinners and spoiled him when they saw each other.
But one day she did not receive the long-awaited phone call every day, she was worried because Alejandro always called her. She tried to locate him and could not find him, she was going crazy with how worried she was. A few days later, she received the visit of an elderly woman who introduced herself as Alejandro's mother, she informed Ana that he had died and handed her a letter.
In the letter Alejandro told her that he was very sick when he met her, but that she had been the most important thing in his life and only his love kept him alive. Tears of pain fell on the letter, Andrea understood the meaning of the letter and kept in her heart all the love they shared together.
