The woman stroked her son's cheek. "And one thing you want to tell me."
"What is that, Mama? Tell me."
"It's about your father."
"Papa? What's with Papa?"
"It's time you found out behind your father's death. Mama knew all this time you thought that your Papa died from being killed. And Mama also knows that you have been accusing and making your Papa schoolmates as the culprit. That's why you're so vengeful about their children, one of them is named Darren."
The woman looked at her son. Samuel cried when he heard the words and saw the silent gaze of his mother.
"Samuel. Listen to Mama, Son! Your father died not because he was killed. Your father was in an accident after a fight with your Uncle Gustavo. Your Papa and Uncle had a big fight at that time where your Uncle did not agree with the intention of your Papa who wanted to quit his dirty business that he had been in so far. Your father really wants to quit and start a new venture. It was all done by your father for the sake of you one and only boy. You were 10 years old then. Even your father has set up a company. The company will be passed on to you. As a result it only took one year, your Papa Company was growing rapidly."
"Because your father was convinced of his decision. The first company owned by your father was destroyed and eliminated from the business world. And replaced with a new company owned by your Father which will be yours later. That's what made your Uncle so angry with your Papa that the two fought."
Samuel cried to hear the story of his mother about his father. His hands were tightly clasping his mother's hands.
"After a fight with your Uncle. Your father left your uncle alone in his study."
"So I mean Mama. Papa came to Uncle's company?" ask Samuel.
"Yes. Sa-yang. Your father came to your Uncle's company and told your Uncle that. Even your father also asked your Uncle to quit his dirty business all this time."
Hearing the story from his mother made Samuel really surprised and also shocked. He soon realized that all this time his Uncle had been using himself for his own personal interests.
"Mama... I-i'm sorry! L'm... I really don't know what the real thing is. Uncle... Uncle..."
"You're not wrong, baby. This is the wrong mom. Mama should have told me all of this from the beginning so that the problem doesn't get this severe. Because of Mama's fear that made Mama hold everything."
"Before your father breathed his last. Your dad said something to Mama and asked Mama to tell you."
"What's? Papa, what's the same Mama?"
"Papa asked Mama to take care of you, take care of you, protect you and also educate you well. Your father also told Mama that your father wants you to be a strong, smart, respectful child to parents and children who are successful in everything. Your father doesn't want you to be wrong. Your father doesn't want you to follow in his footsteps doing dirty business. Your father wants you to be a good young man wherever you are."
Samuel crying. Her tears flowed unceasingly every time she heard the story from her mother. Especially when she heard her mother tell her about her father.
"Papa, I'm sorry. I promise Papa. I'll make Papa proud. I will stop doing bad things in this world. I'll be Papa's good son in everyone's eyes. This time I will prove it. I will realize Papa's desire," Samuel's mind.
Both Darren, his seven best friends, his parents, his brothers and the mafia chiefs and his right-handers all smiled happily upon hearing the true story of Samuel's mother. And they were proud of the promise made by Samuel.
"Actually you're a good young man, Samuel! You've been used by your uncle just for his ambition. And plus your Uncle's guilt for your father's death."
Ziggy spoke in his heart with a look of Samuel's pity.
"I'm sorry I involved your mother. I was forced to do it, because this is the only way to stop you."
"Caleb, Ruby." Ziggy called out his two right hands.
"Yes, King!"
"Bring Samuel's mother to the hospital. Make sure her mom gets treatment when she gets to the hospital."
"Okay, King!"
Afterwards, Caleb and Ruby take Samuel's mother to the hospital.
Darren stared at Samuel with his hand still holding his left chest.
Now Darren's position is in a state of standing by Brenda.
When Brenda came, Brenda ran over to Darren and immediately helped Darren to stand.
The situation is a little calm, but they all still remain vigilant if at any time there is an attack.
Samuel stood up from his position sitting on the floor. Then Samuel looked towards Darren who was also now looking at him. Samuel saw Darren's pale face.
In his heart, Samuel was truly sorry to have done evil to Darren and his seven companions. Worse for Darren. Samuel did it solely to avenge his father's death. His uncle tells him that his father was killed by the fathers of Darren and his seven best friends.
If that time his uncle didn't lie to him. If that time his mother told him everything from the beginning. Then this won't happen. Nor will he lose everything.
"Why did Uncle lie to me?! Why did Uncle say that Papa died from being killed?! Why didn't Uncle tell me the truth that Papa died because of Uncle's own fault?! And why did Uncle blame others for Papa's death?!" shouted Samuel.
I asked a lot of questions and heard Samuel screaming. Gustavo was silent. Gustavo stared guiltily at Samuel.
"I was really disappointed in Uncle's attitude all along. All this time Uncle didn't really love me. Uncle only used me for Uncle's ambition. And look at all the results! I lost everything I had. It's all because of Uncle!"
Gustavo looked at Samuel. Suddenly her tears fell down her face.
"I'm sorry Uncle" said Gustavo Lirih.
Samuel did not return an apology from Gustavo. Samuel looked back at Darren and stepped towards Darren.
Samuel stood before Darren. His eyes looked guiltily and regretfully at Darren.
A BRUUKK!
Samuel dropped himself in front of Darren in a prostrating manner. Seeing what Samuel was doing made them all shocked.
"I'm sorry Darren. I admit I was wrong in front of you. And I'm ready to go to jail." Samuel spoke sincerely and earnestly.
Darren smiled when he heard Samuel's heartfelt words. In his heart, Darren was truly grateful to see Samuel who had chosen to change.
Darren approached Samuel, then his hand touched Samuel's arms. Then, Darren brought Samuel to his feet.
GREPS!
Darren hugged Samuel's body. Getting a sudden hug from Darren made Samuel cry again.
"I'm sorry Darren."
"I've forgiven your mistake, Samuel. But I only forgive your mistakes by fifty percent. Fifty percent more if you've kept your word to your parents."
Hearing the words from Darren made Samuel smile amusedly. So too with the others. In their hearts they all said "Is there any way to apologize to others in a way that is nagging?"
After saying that word, Darren let go of his embrace.
Qenan, Willy, Rehan, Darel, Axel, Dylan and Jerry stepped closer to Darren and Samuel.
"We also agree with what Darren said. We also apologize for fifty percent. Fifty percent more will you get after you keep your promise to your parents" said Qenan.
Heard the words of Qenan. Samuel smiled. "I will keep that promise."
"We are waiting for your change!" darren, Qenan, Willy, Rehan, Darel, Axel, Dylan and Jerry all together.
"Can't I ask you one thing, Darren?"
"What's that?"
"Allow me to take care of my mother in the hospital as I look after my two younger sisters. After my mother was healed. And my two sisters were already there to accompany him. I'm gonna turn myself in to the police station."
Hearing Samuel's request and plea made Darren and his seven companions nod their heads immediately.
Getting a nod of the head from Darren and his seven best friends made Samuel again shed his tears.
And seconds later...
Samuel hugged Darren's body and cried there. "Thank you, Darren! Thank you very much. I promise you, your seven best friends and those closest to you. There will be no more bad Samuel. There's only good Samuel."
"I believe you, Samuel Frederick!" sahut Darren's.
After saying that, Samuel let go of his embrace. Samuel looked at Darren's pale face.
"May God give healing to your heart so that you no longer feel pain" Samuel said sincerely.
Hearing the sincere words and prayers from Samuel made Darren and the others simultaneously marinate him.
After that, Samuel left the Smith family residence and was followed by some of his remaining members about fifty. Samuel decided to go to the hospital to see his mother.
Gustavo was taken by force by members of the Devian and Noe mafia to be taken to the police station.
