351 Princess X Luna
Clarke family funeral, 11.00 AM.
The sun was not yet overhead, but the Clarke family cetery was now filled with big n in black clothes.
The bodyguards strictly guarded the burial area that could not be entered by just anyone very well, because Luna’s existence had been kept secret so far, so that during the funeral process there were no outsiders present except for a priest who helped lead the prayers in Luna’s funeral procession.
Christian who hasn’t slept since yesterday stands with his head down beside the grave. Luna Gracelie Clarke, the na is beautifully engraved on a small tombstone in the cetery area.
“Thank you for your help, father. I represent the Clarke family, I owe you a lot,” Erick said politely to the priest who was about to leave the grave area. “Be careful on the road, father.”
The priest responded to Erick’s words in a very friendly manner, after giving a few ssages to Jack and Christian the priest then left the cetery area to resu his work.
“Do we need to keep an eye on the priest?”
Erick smiled. “No need, that priest is one of the priests Mr. Jack knows quite well. I don’t think he will reveal this secret, so you don’t have to keep an eye on him. He’s a good person.”
The bodyguard who just asked nodded his head in response to Erick’s words.
.....
Because his job was done, Erick then rejoined Jack and his family.
“Joshua’s father is ho, Erick?” he asked quietly.
“Yes, he went straight away in his car, sir.”
“Thank God, I owe him a lot. After this is done, remind to visit his house,” said Jack again.
Eric nodded. “Yes sir.”
“Take Suri and Charlotte ho, they need...”
“No! I don’t want to go ho yet.” Suri cut her father’s words with a half shout. “I still want to be with Luna here.”
“Suri ..”
“I want to be with Luna longer, Daddy,” Suri asked softly, her eyes looking so red. Continuing to cry since yesterday made Suri’s face look puffy and pale.
Jack shook his head slowly. “You need rest, look at your face. You look so ssed up right now.”
“I don’t care about my face, I still want to be here. If Daddy wants to go ho please go ho, don’t take !”
“Anne...”
“No Jack, I don’t want to go ho either,” said Anne hoarsely. “I still want to be here, I want to accompany Luna a little longer.”
“Anne.” Jack squeezed his wife’s hand tightly. “All of you will get sick if you continue like this, since yesterday none of you have eaten and rested. If you keep forcing yourself to continue like this then you will get sick!”
Anne’s eyes filled with tears. “I still want to accompany Luna, Jack. Poor her, she must be scared and lonely in her new ho alone like this sob...
Jack who couldn’t stand to hear Anne’s words imdiately took Anne into his arms, Jack patted Anne’s back affectionately.
“Think All of us, Anne.” Jack tried to speak again. “We all still need your attention, if you get sick then who will take care of us? Nothing can replace the duties of a wife and mother, Anne. We could fall apart if you were sick.”
“Jack...”
“I am also very sad and devastated by Luna’s death, but I know that I have to move on. We can’t continue to be sad like this, Luna also definitely won’t be happy to see all of us keep crying over her death. Luna must be sad if we all continue like this, Anne,” said Jack again, wrapping his arms around Anne’s body. “Luna is calm now, she is not sick. Luna can already run up there, Anne. She must be playing with Princess right now, Princess must be happy to et Luna, with her niece.”
Anne pushed Jack away, her wet eyes staring at Jack. “Luna t princess?”
“Yes, of course they did. Princess must have welcod Luna happily by now, so Luna won’t be lonely or scared anymore because there’s a princess who takes care of her,” answered Jack a little hoarsely, talking about their second child who died tens of years ago made his chest feel a little tight.
Anne’s tears fell again, being reminded of her second daughter who died in her womb due to an accident made her sad again. Anne slowly turned to Christian who was still sitting on his knees beside Luna’s grave.
“We have to take Christian too, since yesterday he hasn’t eaten and slept at all,” said Anne quietly.
Jack pursed his lips. “You can talk to him, can’t you?”
“Yes, I’ll talk to him.” Anne wiped her tears slowly. “Christian has to go ho, he needs to rest. I don’t want to lose anymore.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to Suri then.”
After wiping her tears, Anne then steps towards where Christian is sitting. Anne then speaks softly to Christian, trying to persuade him to go ho. Jack then did the sa thing to Suri. Luna’s death made all of Jack’s anger towards Suri disappear, he even decided to return all the rights that he had taken from Suri over the past month. Starting from the credit card and cellphone that he had previously taken already returned to Suri even though Suri has not touched it, Luna’s death makes Suri lose interest in her favorite objects.
Anne takes almost twenty minutes to invite Christian to leave Luna’s grave, Anne speaks so carefully so as not to offend Christian. Even though she knows if Christian is going to be so annoyed when she talks about Princess, Anne is forced to do so. She was forced to bring the na Princess in her conversation so that Christian would go ho, just as Jack said before, Anne also told Christian that Luna was with Princess now. Hearing his sister’s na being called made Christian suddenly regain his senses, his sanity slowly returning.
“We can visit Luna again tomorrow, but now we have to go ho. You need rest, Christ. Luna will definitely be sad if she sees her father sick, Luna definitely doesn’t want to see you continue to mourn her death,” said Anne slowly.
Christian nods slowly. “I want to rest at the villa.”
“Villa, but why does it have to be at the villa? Mommy won’t be able to take care of it if you go back to the villa, dear.” Anne imdiately rejects Christian’s plan to return to the villa. “There’s Charlotte at ho after all, she’ll be lonely if you’re not ho.”
Christian averts his gaze from Luna’s tombstone to Anne. “I want to calm down in the villa, the place where Elena’s mories are.”
“Christ...”
“In the villa it’s all about Elena and Luna being so strong, Mom. I want to rest my body and brain there.” Christian interrupts Anne in a barely audible voice. “I’ll be fine, Mom. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, but only two days. Mommy only gives you two days, after two days have passed you have to go ho.”
Christian nods slowly. “Yes mom, I’ll definitely be ho.”
