Daniel Was Worried.
Lexi walked slowly to her room. Even though he was tired and weak, he continued to spur his legs to keep moving up step by step.
At the door, Lexi paused for a moment. He felt a deep sadness and emptiness in his heart. Yes, the ticking of the wall clock in the family room made Lexi more aware that there was no longer the figure of his father.
And when he opened the door to greet the room was empty without the presence of Jessica. It made him miss her presence even more. If only Jessica had been with him tonight, maybe he wouldn’t have suffered like this.
Lexi spread his body on the bed. He cried in silence as the tightness in his chest could not be reduced. However, he still did not do anything. The divorce papers from Jessica and also the death of his father made him devastated.
All night Lexi could not fall asleep. Although his body was tired and crumpled. But the sleepy eyes didn’t even come close to him. Left by the person he loved the most, Lexi felt it only this time.
In the morning.
Lexi had a short nap from three in the morning until five in the morning.
He woke up when someone knocked on his door.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
“Mr. Lexi,” the maid said softly.
Lexi couldn’t sleep well. He immediately awakened after hearing someone call his name even with a very quiet voice.
“Sir,” the maid repeated, not hearing her master’s reply.
“Yes,!” Lexi replied. He slowly got out of his sleep and walked to the door to open it.
“I’m sorry to interrupt your rest time, Madam Anna asked you to go downstairs immediately.” the maid said it slowly. The woman did not feel good to disturb her master who was still resting.
“Where is my mom ?”Lexi asked. He tried to stay upright.
“Mrs. Anna is in her room,” The maid replied. “Mr. Lexi must see Mrs. Anna right now!” she added.
“Well I’ll be there right now!” The man walked to the first floor and immediately met his mother.
Lexi opened the door slowly. He saw his mother sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down. There was a maid there who always accompanied her. Yes, the maid was taking care of her.
” Mom, ” Lexi whispered as he moved closer to his mom. He walked slowly and sat down next to his mother.
Seeing Lexi’s arrival, the maid immediately said to leave and go out of the room. Now, in the room there was only Mrs. Anna and her son.
The middle-aged woman raised her head. He looked at Lexi who was sitting next to him.
“My son, your father is gone, your father is no longer in this world. From today on, it’s just the two of us. Can’t you just be with mom?” Mrs. Anna not only lost her husband, but she thought more about Lexi. What would happen next, the Kim family who believed too much that Samuel Ricardo was the culprit, would definitely not stay silent.
“Mom, Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. Me and you, mom, we can definitely move on and live together even without dad, ” Lexi said, his lips slightly widened even though he was actually not doing well.
“How can I not worry about you, now you are the only one alive. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Mrs. Anna continued to shed tears. Lexi’s load was very heavy. He had to open up about what happened twelve years ago. Opened a crime he never even committed.
Lexi tried to guess what was on his mother’s mind.
Mrs Anna wiped away the tears that had been pouring from the corners of her eyes. Imagine Lexi having to tell Mr. Kim what happened twelve years ago, MrsAnna shuddered, it could be that the man would give Lexi a punishment.
“Mom, I’m here. And I’m fine. You have a shower soon, we have to prepare to take dad to the final resting place.” Lexi hugged his mom for a moment. So, he got up from his seat and immediately left the room of his mother.

In the morning, before David and Jessica woke up, Daniel woke the grandfather first.
“Grandfather.” Daniel called in a quiet voice as he knocked on the door of the grandfather’s room.
“Come in,” Fredy Kim said who turned out to be awake first.
Cklek.
The door’s opened.
“What is it?” the middle-aged man, who was still sitting leaning on the bed, asked.
” There is something I want to ask you, ” Daniel said deliberately, provoking conversation before he revealed the news about the death of Samuel Ricardo.
“Tell me what’s wrong?” Fredy Kim, who always gets up early, was a little disturbed by Daniel’s arrival.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“This is about the memorial for the death of mom and dad. When do we go to the grave?” It could be that Samuel Ricardo’s funeral was exactly the same as the graves of his parents who were indeed buried in the Ricardo family’s burial ground.
“At nine o’clock, according to the schedule that has been written, after that we will go to the foundation and also the orphanage where Elsa grew up.” his grandfather looked up, answered casually.
” Can we just go to the grave in the afternoon, ” Daniel suggested, he did not want Elsa to know about the death of her father-in-law. If Elsa found out, she would choose to go with Lexi. That’s for sure.
“you don’t come, as usual we will go to the grave first and then to the foundation for this year we will go to the kasih bunda orphanage!” his grandfather was obviously upset with Daniel who tried to change the schedule of today’s activities.
“Emm then how about we just go to the tomb early in the morning.” Daniel looked down although he was not sure that his grandfather would grant it, but he was still looking for a way to minimize the possibility of Elsa meeting Lexi.
“No, why do we have to change Daniel’s schedule?” Fredy Kim, who already felt suspicious, looked at his first grandson with a sharp look. Sure if there was something that made Daniel come to his room and suddenly made a strange request.
Daniel hesitated, he was not sure that he would tell his grandfather right now because the information he had received was not complete.
“Tell me what’s wrong?” the middle-aged man insisted, waiting for an answer from the man who was currently sitting in front of him.
“Samuel Ricardo,” Daniel was forced to say the name of someone his grandfather did not want to hear.
“Why did you say that man’s name, you know Grandpa doesn’t like to hear that name!” Mr. Kim’s response was still ordinary.
“The father of Lexi Ricardo, the leader of Ricardo Group, passed away last night at exactly 09:21,” Daniel told his grandfather. His grandfather was shocked.
