Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
107. The Dark Past

Back to the past 20 years...

That day the sky felt dark like it was covered in a thick fog that enveloped. A man has been stretched stiff helplessly. How a person's life is meaningless until someone else can easily take it.

No more crying accompanied the departure of the body that entered the ground. All the tears were buried with fading memories.

But all that still remains in memory for a husband who lost his wife. Her body could no longer be touched. His soul went with the heart. A wound in the liver will not heal in a few days.

Little Noah didn't understand anything. He knew his father was no longer the same. All he knew was that his mother's life was taken away by someone else. All he knew was that he and his sisters no longer had a mother who would accompany them. Who will read a fairy tale to them.

The more days, his father's condition is getting out of control. All he wanted was revenge. But to do that, it feels impossible.

"Already, Black. Don't act stupid! There is already a law that will establish justice for the guilty. Now focus on your three children. They still need your attention, Black."

Luiz continues to cheer Black who is still devastated by the departure of Eryn. The doctor who committed the malpractice was sentenced to life. Black was relieved that the law was no joke.

A year passed with Eryn's absence on Black's side. She takes good care of her three children, although sometimes Eryn's shadow still haunts her.

Black again slumped when the condition of the company is also not good. The fierce competition among young businessmen led to Black being eliminated. It seems to have no power like before. No Eryn or Carlos has always supported him.

Ten years later, Noah is 17 years old. He helped his father desperately to make money and support his younger siblings. Albana Group eventually faltered and went bankrupt.

Luiz asks Noah and his sisters to move with him to Mexico. There is also David and Santa who still hold the Black Diamond hotel.

Black never told me about the condition of his company. If they had known, it would have been Luiz and David helping Black. Everything has happened, and time can never be repeated.

Black is depressed about losing his company. Even Mr. Kim, his father-in-law has passed away. And JK Group was taken over by the other party for not having an heir. Noah's age is not yet qualified to hold the company. That is the reason expressed by the opponent of JK Group.

Young Noah learns to manage a nightclub like Luiz. He taught them all by self-taught.

Not wanting to continue to trouble Luiz and Elza, Noah brings his family to Brazil. They chose the city of Rio which he thought would bring good wishes to the three children.

Luiz couldn't stand in the way of Noah's enormous determination. He bought a modest house to live in with his two depressed brothers and father. Eldric's savings money he drained out to buy a house and eat his daily.

Noah meets a small-time gangster and joins him there. Her mafia soul is declining from her shrewd father in this matter.

Actually he wanted to choose another path, but it turned out that this was all he could do. He started selling drugs and a million firearms. Things like this are no stranger to this country.

Eldric's condition is back. Noah is confused as to what to do. In addition, one by one his gang friends began to be arrested by the authorities. Noah is desperate.

He was confused what else to do. Eventually he decided it was better to just end his life.

It rained that night. Noah did not care even though his body was covered in cold rain.

He walked in no direction until he arrived at a bridge under which there is a river with a fairly swift current. He stared at the river. He smiled a smirk.

"Maybe it's better if I just die. So that no more burdens cover my life. You took everything from me, God! What else are you waiting for? Take my life right now!"

Noah was ready to jump, but a second later there was someone pulling his body."

They fell together. Noah was surprised because it turned out that the one who pulled his body was a little girl.

"Are you out of your mind? You want to die huh?! If you want to die, don't be in front of my eyes! Life is hard, but what about dying all your problems will go away? You're gonna add trouble to your family! Don't you have a family, huh?!"

Noah was stunned to hear all the babbling of the 10-year-old girl.

"While you don't have a family, or your family doesn't think you exist, at least you have them. Is your life that hard, huh?!" ask the little girl in flames.

Noah was silent. The little girl stepped back.

"Quick follow! Do you want to rain here?"

"You live near here?" ask Noah at the end.

"Thank you for helping me. What's yourname?"

The little girl stared at Noah. Those shady eyes made Noah calm.

"So you're back to your sanity, huh?!" The little girl spoke in a thin tone but remained gentle.

"Sorry..."

"I apologize to those who love you!"

"Yes, I'll do it later. You haven't answered my question, what's your name? I'm..."

"Don't talk to strangers! You're a teenager but not smart!"

Noah was a little angry at this girl's words.

"That's it! We'll call each other names with our favorite colors, how about?" propose the girl.

"Hmm?" Noah still doesn't understand.

"I like purple, so just call me Purple. Look at! Because you're my diary so wet."

This girl named Purple was drying her wet diary near the campfire.

"What color do you like?" ask Purple.

"Hmm, how about you just call me Black? I think my dark life fits that name."

"No! No matter how dark your life is, don't choose that color if you can still choose another color. Once blackened it will be very difficult to return to white. How about Grey? Grey can still be white if you're determined to change it."

Noah remained silent.

"You're a gangster, right?"

"Da-where did you know?"

"I was a kid, but I know a lot of things. And you better not fall down like this. Find something good you can do. That way you can appreciate your own life."

Noah looked at the little girl in admiration.

"I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed! You sleep too! Tomorrow you can go home!"

"You yourself? Where do you live?" asked Noah curiously.

"I? I have a home. Of course I have a house."

The little girl looked at Noah and smiled. "Good night, Grey. May you have a good dream."

Noah returned the little girl's smile. Today he was made aware by a little girl who seemed to have also kept a wound in her life.

And starting tonight, Noah is determined not to think about dying before what he wants is achieved.
