Chapter 77 - From His Heart (2/2)

The other side was silent for a moment before replying, ”Huang Ming is getting married next week.”

Darren rubbed his forehead and asked, ”Didi, you're calling me at this time of the night just to tell me that one of YOUR friends is getting married?” He emphasized on 'your' on purpose since his own friend circle wasn't as active as one would think of it to be.

”Daz, whatever is mine is yours. That means my friends are also yours. Also, he specially asked me to invite you.” Dylan replied keeping his voice bright and cheery. When Darren didn't speak for a long moment, he added, ”Daz, are you crying?”

”No,” Darren replied without missing a beat as he walked up to the door leading to the balcony.

”Why is your voice hoarse then?” Dylan retorted in the same manner. ”Are you missing that someone again?”

Darren slid open the door slightly and he extended his hand to catch the rain droplets. ”We miss people who are gone. She is right here with me in my heart. How can I possibly miss her?”

Dylan pursed his lips and closed his eyes. ”Aren't you really torturing yourself like this?”

”Not at all,” Darren replied while bringing his wet hand close to his face. ”She had perished from this world in rain. Doesn't that mean she still is lingering around me within these raindrops? When I can feel her caressing my face, when I can feel her happiness in the pitter-patter sounds, how is this torturous or tormenting? If anything, it's my only blessing.”

Dylan sighed out in defeat or sadness he didn't know but he still said, ”I feel like an idiot for arguing with you over this. So, let's change the topic. You're coming with me to Huang Ming's wedding.”

”You should take a date with you instead,” Darren suggested.

”Don't act smart. You're coming and so is your date.”

”First of all, I'm not trying to act smart. I am smart. At least in comparison with you,” Darren didn't forget to taunt while sniffling and added, ”Second of all, I hate weddings. I might not even show up at yours.”

Dylan laughed out softly as he said, ”I'm not getting married. Not so soon. So, you don't have to worry about it at all. Besides, at the rate you're going, I think you might not even get a chance to stand at your own wedding.” Darren rolled his eyes, closed the door and went back to his bedroom. Just as he fell back on his bed, he heard Dylan's voice again, ”I forgot to tell you the most important thing.”

”Now what?” Darren could tell Dylan had nothing important to say at all. He was just trying to cheer him by accompanying him. This best friend was also a weird character.

”My assistant called me priceless today,” Dylan told with a prideful look on his tone. Obviously, he didn't disclose the whole story since he knew Darren was gonna laugh at him.

”Sigh! And here I thought she was shrewd and savvy. Tsk, tsk. I'm very disappointed in her now.”

”Yah!” Dylan shouted at his teasing. ”Can't you stop insulting me once in a while?”

”Mmm...” Darren pretended to think before replying with, ”Can't do.”

”Sheesh. You can't even lie for your brother,” Dylan got into his pitiful act again before continuing, ”By the way, I can't find those cupcakes that you shared with me last time. Why don't you tell me about that neighbor of yours, I'll request her myself.”

”You and Sweets are so alike that I think if you requested to her, she might add poison in your cupcakes.” Darren had no clue how right he was about this. Neither was Dylan.

”Why? I don't even know her yet.”

”Didi, as I said, you both have countless similarities. And I'm afraid that you both can never sit in a room civilly. With both of your natures, there is bound to be trouble.”

Dylan was frowning but he didn't push him any further. After all, if Darren said it there was no way Dylan wouldn't believe it.
