Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 68 - Target Firda
Gabriel gets an invitation to a party from one of his co-workers, and as word of Gabriel having a wife is spread, so his co-worker invited Gabriel to come with his wife to attend parties as well as fundraisers for hospitals and orphanages.
After that, Gabriel immediately contacted John and ordered John to meet him right now, in his office.
Soon John arrives and Gabriel confronts him with questions about Eduardo and Kiroz.
"Sir, Kiroz is dead" John said.
"Did you find his body? didn't you?" ask Gabriel and of course John would not have to justify it.
"But the odds are very small for him to survive" John said in self-defense.
"But this morning I found a body in my house and he was holding a pendant owned by Eduardo gang member John" Gabriel said.
"Corpse? In your house? How come?" asked John not to believe it.
"Yes, how can. That's my question, too, John. He's after my wife" Gabriel said in despair.
"Didn't I say, Mr Gabriel? Women don't fit into your life" said John, who made Gabriel growl.
"No, John. I need Firda, I want him in my life. And I'll do anything to protect her" Gabriel said.
"You don't worry, sir. I'll ask my people to tighten the guard on your house. And if any of Eduardo's members make it in, doesn't that mean there's an insider helping him?"
"He's disguised as a waiter"
"You don't worry, I'm going to go home tonight and check everything back"
"Gio's been checking it, John. And tonight I'm going to the fundraising party"
"Together with your wife?"
"Yes, people already know I have a wife so they also invite my wife"
"What if you meet Mrs Angeline? I'm sure he'll also attend a party like that" John said.
"Come" replied Gabriel.
.........
On the roof of a building not far from the market, a man who was cleaning his rifle while occasionally glancing at his cell phone, he was waiting for a call from someone.
Soon her phone rang and the man quickly answered her and said
"I'm sorry, sir. The last target was because suddenly he ran after his cat, I couldn't execute him because his cat was an accident and it made people swarm him" he said.
"I know, come back. I'll let you know about your next plan" a firm reply came from the man across the phone.
"Okay, sir." replied the man who was a sniper.
.........
Firda still continued to cry while hugging her cat that had been wrapped in cloth by the Doctor, her wound was also sewn so as not to continue to bleed. Firda brought her home and wanted to bury her himself.
"Mrs Firda..." Gio called out to her so gently, there was a feeling of pity seeing Firda who continued to cry as hiccups due to the departure of her cat.
"Hiks hyks... I should have heard Om Gabriel, do not leave the house today." muttered Firda in the midst of his sobs.
"It's not your fault, Mrs Firda" Gio comforted.
"It's my fault, Gio. I shouldn't have brought her, I should have left her at home. Hix... Ummi always said so... Hix... So that my cat should not be taken out, because on the streets many vehicles" Gio could only grimace to see Firda was really hit because of the death of the cat, Gio did not expect that someone was Firda to his cat.
Even the maid who joined Firda also seemed to feel very sorry for Firda, what else saw Firda who hugged the body of his cat.
Shortly after the car had reached home, Gio immediately rushed out of the car and opened the door for Firda.
"Gio, get me the hoe. I want to bury Ciu Ciu in the backyard" Firda and Gio nodded.
Firda walked first to the backyard and he was confused because he saw there was land like his mark on the hoe.
Firda crouched down when she saw that there was blood on the ground, Firda frowned in confusion as she made sure it was really blood.
"Gio.." call Firda when Gio has come with a hoe.
"Yes, Miss Firda?" gio asked as he took off his black suit and prepared to hoe the ground.
"What is this? And this is blood, whose blood?" ask Firda wonder.
"Oh, that ex-dog died" Gio replied casually.
"Dogs? Is there a dog in the house?" ask Firda wonder.
"The neighbor dog, Madam. But it looks like his dog is wild and the guards are forced to shoot him" Gio replied and he started hoeing the ground, making a hole to bury Ciu Ciu.
Firda believes in what Gio says, and after Gio makes a deep hole, Firda puts his cat in the hole.
"Good way, Ciu Ciu. Sorry because I you so this.." muttered Firda sad "Sorry me yes, Ciu Ciu" said again.
Firda took the hoe and closed Ciu Ciu's grave.
"Let me, Madame Firda" massage Gio.
"It's okay, Gio. I can do it myself" said Firda.
Gio watched Firda close the cat's grave while Firda's cheeks were still wet with tears.
After he finished burying his beloved cat, Firda went into his room and he cleaned his dirty hands.
..........
Gabriel deliberately went home early because he and Firda had to prepare for the party.
When Gabriel returns home, he finds Firda still looking sad and moody. Firda sat on the edge of the bed with a straight forward look.
"What's up, Firda? Did you go to the market?" gabriel and Firda asked weakly.
"Why do you look sad? Has anyone terrorized you again?" gabriel and Firda asked, only shaking.
"Then what's up?" ask Gabriel again.
"Ciu Ciu died" said Firda.
"What?" gabriel chanted "How can you?"
"He went to the market, kept getting hit by the bike" Firda replied in a choked voice and he again wanted to cry. Her eyes already felt hot and watery but Firda quickly rubbed her.
"Why did you bring her, Firda?" asked Gabriel and he also felt sad, because Ciu Ciu was also close to him.
"This is indeed my fault." said Firda and Gabriel sat beside Firda, gently embracing her shoulders.
"It's not your fault, don't be sad yet" Gabriel and Firda could only take a deep breath and nod.
Trying sincerely with the departure of the pet cat that he loved so much.
