Vesper realized his daughter was approaching. The teary-eyed Sandara looked ready to reveal something as her two hands clenched.
"You why? Speak on? Was my speech wrong? Offend your feelings? If so, I'm sorry," asked Vesper sadly.
"Why, Mah?" sandara suddenly looked at Vesper sharply from where he was standing.
"About what?" asked Vesper, whose eyes were now on the smallest princess.
"Why did you do this to us? Did you do it intentionally? You're letting us fight ourselves out there? You, what are you doing? You didn't come to our aid or rescue when you were attacked!" asked Sandara venting her anger.
Vesper smiled faintly.
"You forgot your confession if you want to become a mafia like me?" asked Vesper who made his four children speechless. "Arjuna. On your birthday at Military Camp, you're determined to follow the mafia's path. This is the path you must follow including all the risks. You can reflect on my story" Vesper said. Arjuna looked in shock and immediately lowered his face.
"Jonathan. You said you wanted to be like your father Erik Benedict. You said if it was destined to be the successor of Flame. You crowned yourself at the Grey House and were seen by many as the leader of The Circle, a mob. That's what prompted me to forgive the people in Flame's ranks because I didn't want the two camps to fight back. I threw away my ego and my revenge for you, Jonathan. I have to know that."
Jonathan is stunned after hearing Vesper's confession. His gaze was uncertain, he looked nervous about something and did not dare to look at the mother.
"That's you, Lysa. Do you remember when we lived together in Big Glass? You said you wanted to be like me. You got training at Military Camp and proved to be the best graduate. You've always managed to hit me even though I almost miscarried while pregnant with Jonathan. You've decided, and here's the result. You can't regret it" insisted Vesper.
Lysa instantly crept her head. Vesper's view turned to Sandara. The girl stared at Vesper sharply.
"And you, my sweet Dara. Your life isn't as lucky as mine, but .. You decided not to return as an artist when you got the chance. You remind me of my old self. But somehow, your life is more tragic than mine. I'm only human, I have limitations, and those limitations are what make you this way. As your mother, I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?" asked Vesper looking at Sandara grimly.
The girl lowered her face and even cried. Vesper took a deep breath with his eyes closed for a moment. Buffalo and the others looked anxious because Vesper looked pale.
"Yes, I deliberately did not interfere in the dispute that occurred. I want to make you feel how to go through the hardships of life without a Vesper by your side. I realized that I was soon old," he said languidly which made everyone speechless. "I am not an eternal being, and I can die at any time. Like now, I could feel death coming from my children," he continued with a faint look, lying on his bed in a helpless state of weakness. Lysa shut her mouth after hearing her mother's words. "I will, if my death is taken away by my children. I let you hate me. Because ... no matter how much love I give you, you can't feel it anymore. Your love has been covered by vengeance to kill me."
Arjuna, Jonathan, Sandara, and Lysa shed tears in silence. Their views are erratic and can only stay in their respective places.
"Why are all the kids here, Mah?" arjuna asked with a trembling voice looking at his mother.
"You are preoccupied with grudges and ambitions to become a ruler. You ignore the children" replied Han who suddenly appeared from behind the door and now had his eyes locked on Vesper's four children. Han's gaze was now locked on his only child. "You didn't even answer my phone calls dozens of times, Kim Arjuna. Until I decided to disappear from you forever. It seems like you've forgotten me. Maybe for you, I'm gone."
Arjuna's eyes widened when he saw the father appear with a gun in the left hand, as well as Kai who walked behind him with the same gun in the right hand grip.
"Papa?" call Sandara softly, but Kai just silently ignored the child with a downcast look.
"You can send me a message! Don't make excuses!" arjuna replied angry.
"I want to hear my son's voice! I want to know about my son! What did I do as a father wrong, huh?!" han replied loudly with eyes glaring at Arjuna sharply.
"You don't care about children and you can even hurt and kill the people your mother, Vesper, has fought for. Those kids, they came to us. As grandparents, it is natural to accept the presence of grandchildren who expect affection from the family because they do not get it from their parents," connect Kai with a blank look that now stands to the left of Vesper.
Sandara, Lysa, Arjuna and Jonathan turned their faces away while wiping away the tears from where they stood.
"You're turning into selfish parents. Even to the point of thinking that if we kidnap children and people you care about," Kai replied smiling wryly with a downcast look.
"Really, I, as Dad, am very disappointed in you, Kim Arjuna. Even the one who brought your son here were Tora's three wives. Naomi entrusted Sig and Loria to them," Han said with her eyes fixed.
"Na-Naomi?" asked Arjuna with a breath of breath.
Han did not answer where his hand was now slowly reaching for Vesper's weakly drooping hand beside his body.
"Vesper's dead, so are we. The promise of living through it is not just a verbal one. We ... love each other. Although I was very sorry because many promises I made with him could not be fulfilled," Han said staring at the wife sadly.
"My lady asked us to spend the rest of her life protecting her grandchildren in order to live a normal life, unlike you," Kai said with eyes glistening as he approached her and kissed her forehead gently.
Instantly, the eyes of Arjuna, Lysa, Jonathan and Sandara widened. Kai and Han stood firmly facing each other with a gun pointed at the forehead of the man opposite him.
The two smiled as they clasped Vesper's hand tightly which closed their eyes with a soft breath.
"Vesper's gone, we'll catch up with him soon. That's our promise. It seems, we both failed to be role models for her children like Lily hoped," Han said smiling with tears in his eyes before Kai, so did his lifelong rival who answered with a nod and a disappointed face.
"After this, live without us, without people in the ranks as you ask. Live alone without relatives, family, and people who love you. Finally, our suffering is over, Old Man," said Kai, holding the gun in his hand steadily to Han's forehead.
"Papa Kai ... Han's father .. don't ... don't ...," Jonathan's pinch came up to Kai and grabbed him by the leg. Jonathan looked terrified as he imagined himself alone.
"Dad," Arjuna called out to tears and walked over to the father, who remained standing upright in the same defensive position as Kai.
"Hiks ... Papa," call Sandara to cry and come to Kai and hold her tight, but Kai is silent.
Lysa collapsed next to her mother's bed. Whether what moved their hearts, a deep sense of regret rained down the deepest recesses of their hearts.
