It's Wednesday, 11th day of April, the warm breeze can be felt in any slopes of your skin. There are people whose busy preparing things for a simple yet important commemoration. Did you know what is it? Well, something very close to each other's heart living inside the Alfios mansion. Today is the 10th anniversary of the deaths of two-person, particularly the pretty innocent people who lost their lives at the very young age. They are Race and Racemm Alfios, the twin brother of Reissha. She's maybe too fragile for this but she insisted to progress it with purpose. Even though she wants to cry ugly, she remains calm and able to hold the tears.
"I know this is not the right time but... be strong and wish you'd accept the fact that they no longer here ma'am Sha," Amanda said gently.
"Hmm," she nodded.
Amanda pats her shoulder and offers hers to lean on.
"Miss Sha, the board of directors are here to affirm their sympathy." One of their housemaids told.
"We're here to express our commiserative to you and your family Miss Alfios," with eyes that widening, she gave him a nod and said thanks.
"Mon senior, glad to have you here." Then she approached them consequently and assigns them to their sits.
"The commemoration will start any moment from now. Stay put and let your temper wait for it." said someone in front of them.
Suddenly, the crowd become blue. Their faces turn into sorrowful ones that brought a tough environment. Others can not stand for not shedding a single tear. Thus, the signal of an announcer began to take the start of the program. They positioned themselves for it.
In the beginning, the favourite symphony of the two dead people serenades their dreadful hearts.
"I know most of us are not merely information about the death of our two beloved sons of Alfio's. It's been 10 years since that incident happened yet the pain is still there. And we all know how much they mean to us. How that twin change our mood and made us smile. I bet now they are 20 years old? Suppose to be the ones who will handle the company. But then...we aren't possible to have power that can bring them back. We don't have the guts to prompt them not to die. But these serve as a reminder for us to continue what they left. We must continue to move forward and let go of the agony of the past. These two will always be remembered and treasured in each other's hearts. Thank you!" Then he left the stage and took the lead of the prayer.
All bow down their heads and close their eyes and feel the presence of God at this juncture.
"Almighty God, we, suffer from enormous waves of life. We became unbelievers because of the lack of faith in you. And also because of the trial you've put on. We sometimes conclude that you're cruel for taking the lives of our loved ones, we judge and acknowledges you in a harmful way, and we asked for forgiveness for all of these. We placid commit ourselves to sin and contain any of them in every time. Please don't let us mistaken and lost trust in you. Reminds us that everything you do has its purpose. Makes us strong and may our paths led to your home, which you want us to be. Protect us every day, and also the two dead men. Wish they are peacefully resting with you in heaven, Amen. "
After the prayer, the closest friends of the family initiated their memorandum about the dead people. Meanwhile, the most affected among all, specifically Reissha, is calmly waited for her turn to deliver her short speech. First on the spot where folks are looking at was mon senior.
"Last April 11, 2011, I was on my way going to the office, someone texted me via email and report the incident that happened to these two young men. At first, I didn't know if I would believe that but to my surprise, I drove through that place and saw both of them...bathing with their blood. That was a little bit of terror for me. I can't imagine that that twin will depart all of a sudden after I visited them. I suppose to be the one who will witness their growth and progress some ideas for them to use in their businesses. They are nought yet adorable, I've never been able to forget such things they do to me. That kiddos are now adults apparently but they left so early. I wish them a healthy living in eternity." He overlooked Reissha who is furore and surprised by what she heard.
'So..all this time..he's isn't just a man in authority and grouchiness. He also possesses this soft side towards my brothers. How amazing was he!'
The last and suspend part is...the message of Reiss.
"First of all, I want to thank all of you for being here. I appreciate your presence, message and sympathy for our family," she pauses for a while, taking the time to wipe her tears. "we do believe in eternal life, right? So this will be a sign that after living for a lifetime, death will come but this doesn't mean an end...it's just a beginning and starting point of eternal life that Jesus promised. And I also believe that no matter what happens, He will bring us together with Him at the right time. For now, I pray for them not to worry about us and live peacefully in heaven. Even though it's hard to let go, I must, we must. So, to my big bro... you both loved and treasured. I love you both!" For the first time, she smiled, making them stunned.
They assemble for the last part of the ceremony and that's leaving flowers at their tombstone.
She looks more plausible for this time. Her gaze turn backwards and found the one who make her realize and go through this. The one who explains everything until she understands. No other than but someone she recently hate but gradually treated as her friend —Elijah. She called him a therapist because he gave the best advice.
