Confession

Whatever our ambitions and desires are, God has power over it. Sometimes it will be granted easily, but sometimes we must pray and be patient. God will grant what is our prayer and desire.

Tap.

Tap. Tap.

Lexi walked closer. As if waiting for the arrival of the son, Samuel Ricardo opened his eyes when he saw Lexi walking towards him.

Yes, the man was already unconscious and had to be in the emergency room for three days after Lexi’s departure to Singapore. Not without reason, the past events that Lexi asked caused a big question mark that provoked a great quarrel between himself and her wife.

Yes, Mrs. Anna, who was suspicious, immediately asked directly about the incident twelve years ago. All this time, Mrs. Anna was silent, which did not mean that she did not feel suspicious. Because, in the past when he touched on the issue of Darren and Melisa’s deaths, the husband was always distracted or sometimes had to get angry and unclear.

That made Mrs. Anna choose not to ask again. Gradually, she forgot the case of Melisa’s death and only when Lexi asked before leaving for Singapore. She recalled that. And sure enough, the question she asked triggered the husband to have a heart attack and immediately went to the ER for three days, even Mr. Samuel was critical for a while, before finally this afternoon after Arsene visited him. The husband came to his senses and his condition improved.

He had a lot to say before Mr. Samuel fell asleep while waiting for Lexi’s arrival.

“When did you arrive?” Mr. Samuel asked with his eyes fixed on Lexi. He opened his eyes even wider to see his son more clearly.

“I just got here, Dad.” Lexi came closer and looked at papa intently. His face looked pale and dark. His hands were pretty cold. There was no smile and a trace of spirit that was always seen in every word that the father said. Mr. Samuel Ricardo’s voice, which was biased, sounded loud, but this time it sounded low. Lexi had to sit very close to hear what his father was saying.

Mr. Samuel beckoned Lexi to come closer. “I just want to talk to you!” he whispered very quietly in the sense of the listener’s son. “Tell mom and Arsene to come out!” he asked. Although his voice was weak both his eyes were still alert. He knew who was in that room.

Lexi nodded, then he looked at his mother and Arsene in turn. “Daddy just wants to talk to me, mom and arsene please get out of dad’s treatment room immediately, there is something very important and secret that dad wants to tell me.” Lexi conveyed what the father wanted. Yeah, it’s usually like that. Lexi would be a child who would also be the most comfortable place for Samuel Ricardo to reveal all the secrets he had. Lexi was the one he trusts the most.

Listen to what Lexi said, Mrs. Anna and Arsene immediately out of the treatment room Mr. Samuel, they both provide privacy for father and son to talk alone.

“Arsene, we’re out. You also have to go home now, let me and Lexi be here to take care of his dad,” Mrs Anna said as she walked out and next to Arsene who was also out of the treatment room.

Now in the room there was only Lexi and Mr. Samuel. According to the request of his dad, Lexi grasped his dad’s hand and sat down at a very close distance.

“Why is it so important for me to tell my mom to go out?” Lexi asked. His heart and brain were filled with joy. However, he still tried to focus on his father who was currently in front of him.

“There is something that disturbs my heart, there is something very heavy, for me to tell you… but I have to tell you because you have to know.” Although slow, Lexi could clearly hear what his father said.

“Just tell me dad, I’ll be happy to listen to it.” Lexi widened his lips to form a smile. He promised that if what his father said was a request, he would grant it.

“I hope you won’t be upset by what I have to say right now.” Mr. Samuel’s hand was getting tighter. He didn’t look the other way either. His two eyes stared at Lexi, and were always fixed on him.

Lexi nodded, occasionally stroking a few strands of hair that fell on his father’s eyebrows. Three days before his Papa fell ill, and now the middle-aged man looked emaciated.

“Actually, it’s about twelve years ago. You will hear all the stories from me right?” The look in Samuel’s eyes was hopeful. He didn’t know how to cover it all up, and he needed to be honest with Lexi so he could do something for him, to help him.

“Tell me dad, I’ll hear it.” Lexi brushed off all his bad premonitions. He was so sorry for his dad who was still in poor health.

“Twelve years ago, my father didn’t. But actually I knew the bad plan, but I who wanted Ricardo Group to remain standing and not suffer losses was forced to thirst to close my eyes and close my ears. Jessica’s parents had an accident that left them dead.” Mr. Samuel told me with a breath that sometimes gasps.

“Then who did it?” Lexi insisted, seeing the look on his father’s face, he hesitated.

“The one who did it was Casandra’s dad. He had a plan to kill Darren and Melisa,” he said.

“What is the role of you?” Lexi was sure if his father not only knew it, but his father also contributed to the plan.

Silence.

Samuel closed his eyes. Although it has been a dozen years, the incident was still clearly recorded in his head.

“You just found out and didn’t prevent it from getting involved? say it now!” Lexi was starting to get nervous.

“I provided facilities for his father Casandra to launch his action,” Mr. Samuel replied honestly. That meant his father and Cassandra’s father worked together to plan the terrible accident.

Lexi’s heart felt out of place. All this time his father tried to evade and convince himself that he was not involved, although in fact he was also involved. Yes, the accident was the act of his father and Cassandra’s father.

“Dad, you knew that just as you planned it, as you killed Jessica’s parents. you madeJessica live in an orphanage!” Lexi’sfingers trembled. He didn’t know what to say to Jessica. He didn’t know what to say to that woman. What if Jessica found out?

“I’m sorry for her, I’m really sorry.” Mr. Samuel took off his hands from Lexi.

His eyes closed, he took his last breath. After he confessed to the crime he had committed twelve years ago.
