Silent Night

It’s getting late. The atmosphere became very quiet. Lexi was sitting in one of the chairs in his father’s treatment room. His mother, accompanied by the maid, returned home first while Arsene was watching the funeral procession of his boss.

Lexi stood up from her seat. Already, he was no longer concerned with what was raging in his heart. With thoughts floating somewhere, he packed one by one of his father’s stuff. There’s a big bag in there. Then, he put in the phone, the tablet belonged to his father. There were also some books that his mom brought for him. Lexi packed the book on the small desk, then put it in the bag.

There was bitterness that had filled his throat. His chest feels tight and crying would not reduce or change anything. Everything had to work out. Whatever was ahead, the man was determined to face it.

Lexi’s tear defense dam collapsed when he saw his father’s phone screen. A picture of him when he was a little boy in his father’s arms. Yes, it had already happened more than twenty years ago, and time was running very fast. Seeing the fact this day his father had left this world forever.

One by one. The clear drops wet Lexi’s cheeks. His eyes closed tightly to reduce the sadness that had been sitting in his heart. His father, the man on whom he had been leaning, was no longer there. It was no longer possible to see or talk to him.

How would he live his next life? How did he deal with the Kim family?

The door opened slowly, there was Arsene who had been waiting for his arrival in the door since earlier.

“Sir,” Arsene called, standing on the lip of the door with his eyes fixed on Lexi.

Lexi did not immediately straighten his head. He made sure there were no tears on his cheeks until he lifted his head to look at his secretary.

“We have to go home now, the procession has been completed. We must immediately take the deceased to the funeral home and prepare for the funeral tomorrow morning,” Arsene said. As same as Lexi, he also felt lost over the death of Mr. Samuel. It was not as bad as Lexi thought.

Silence. There was no other sound except the sound of the wind blowing from the open window.

Arsene was still standing transfixed waiting for Lexi who had not responded. “Sir.”

Lexi nodded her head slowly.

“Come on,” Arsene asked to grab the bag in Lexi’s hand and embrace the boss. Yes, as a friend or relative was not like only a boss and secretary, but more than that.

Lexi only obeyed when Arsene continued to lead him into the elevator.

In the elevator, a cold night was felt. Arsene couldn’t see Lexi who was being crushed as hard as he was. He glanced, Lexi’s skin looked red. So it was with his eyes. The more puffy that made him close his eyes longer than usual.

The elevator door opened. Now Arsene let Lexi walk the lead.

“That’s the ambulance over there,” Arsene pointed out.

Then, the two walked side by side. Then, they approached the funeral car.

“Sir, do I need to ask Ronald to pick you up here?” Arsene offered. He wasn’t sure if Lexi was going to get in the ambulance.

“No, I want to accompany my father,” Lexi said. He opened the ambulance door. Then he came in first followed by Arsene.

Ambulance driver made sure that Ricardo’s family was already inside. Next, he got into the car, got behind the wheel and immediately ran the funeral car towards the funeral home.

The sound of sirens blaring accompanied the car that began to walk away from the hospital area.

In the back of the ambulance. Lexi stared at his father’s body. In the past, when there was the sound of a hearse siren he would immediately enter the house. And this time, it was no one else, his own father who was in the hearse.

“Sir,” Arsene called, breaking the silence. From inside, the sound of sirens was not very clear.

“Yes,” Lexi nodded his head. He didn’t want to talk or see anyone. He wanted to shut himself up and cry. So that the burden in his heart was reduced

“I’m sure Mr. Lexi can handle everything. Mr. Lexi can be strong and can sincerely accept the departure of Mr. Samuel,” Arsene said, trying to comfort the sad man in front of him.

“Yes, take it easy, I will try to accept all these circumstances sincerely!” Lexi replied with teary eyes.

“If you want to cry, just cry, it’s okay. That doesn’t mean Mr. Lexi is weak, just cry if it can make Mr. Lexi feel relieved!”

Lexi was transfixed, the next second he was crying again.

In the media the news of the death of Samuel Ricardo had spread widely. Company officials, employees, and colleagues had heard about the news of the death of the owner Ricardo Group.

Except for the Kim family. Daniel woke up in the middle of the night to a report of the death of the man involved in the death of his parents.

However, he did not feel happy. There he felt upset because he had not been able to put him in jail but the person had died first.

Then, he immediately searched for one of the numbers of his subordinates and immediately contacted him via telephone.

The call was connected.

“Hello,” the man said on the other end of the phone.

“Hello,” Daniel said.

“Boss, is it a sudden assignment until boss Daniel calls me in the middle of the night like this?” someone asked on the other side of the phone.

“I want to know about the death of Samuel Ricardo. Find out all the information about the man! Cause of death, and also some things about his sudden death!” Daniel asked.

“Well sir, I will look for information right now!” said the subordinate enthusiastically. When doing impromptu tasks like this, he would usually get a lot of bonuses. So it was with this time.

“Good!” Daniel ended the phone call. Then he turned off the light on the desk next to his bed. Fredy Kim’s first grandchild was trying to sleep. Yes, it was just two hours he slept before then when he woke up he got news that surprised him enough. So after that Daniel could not sleep quickly.

Various positions he tried. Supine, tilted to the right side, face down, and tilted to the right side. However, still he could not fall asleep. He let himself alone fall asleep, but it was hard. Both his eyes became fresh and still wondered what was the cause of death of the man he had been marking.

Daniel stared at the dim lights of his room. For a moment he remembered Lexi, how the fate of the man. The divorce papers were clearly in his hands, and now he was also sad to accept the fact that his father had died.
