Stitches
Richard's Dairy
(Richard Pov)
This was the first time I had made a dairy about my life that was quite dark.
Not much I know about my mother.
My mother died January 24, 1993 after giving birth to me in this world. Thank you mom, I love you so much.
My father was the one who lived me all this time, he was able to be a single parent while taking care of all the needs in his company. My father was Alan Fitzgerald, one of the most famous CEOs in Russia.
His company, Fitzgerald Co.Ltd, was once included in Forex magazine as the largest bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading company in the world.
He has a lot of friends out there, as well as enemies. No wonder he finds it difficult to work with others.
Until one day, my father met a tall man, wearing a black tuxedo and a white shirt, in a cathedral. It was a Sunday, an ordinary day for both of us to pray for safety, and also pray for the best for the mother there.
Dad looks very relaxed chatting with other people he just knew, not as usual, I felt a strange feeling at that time, what happened to dad?
"Dad's going to go son, somewhere to take care of dad's work" said the father.
"But yeah, it's late, it's eight o'clock, what should I do?" I asked.
"You are fifteen years old, son, learn to sleep alone, you will live alone, you will not be here forever, there will be a time when you will be called by God," answered me while stroking my head.
"Don't tell me that dad, I love you, don't let anything happen to you! Remember that!"
"Hey calm down, one day, the company of the father will be yours, therefore, from now on you must learn to be independent, strong, fight my son."
"Okay dad, be careful on the road."
The next morning, my father returned home unconscious, along with the man he met yesterday at the cathedral.
"What's wrong with dad!?" Richard was confused when he saw his father go limp.
"It's okay, he just had too much to drink at the Club last night, he just wanted to party letting go of the fatigue with the ladies, little friends. You won't understand how torturing it is to be a single parent while taking care of a big company, hahaha." replied the man with a laugh.
I'm sure Dad was never like this, inwardly monologuing. I asked the man to put my father in his bed, and the man said goodbye to me.
From then on, my father changed, who loved me very much but remained firm and disciplined, to become a man who loved to spoil me, at my age of fifteen years, and who was still very much in love with me, a lot of weird questions came out of his mouth like "do you want me to feed you?" Or "do you want me to bathe later?" Something has changed, maybe too much, the father has never been like this, the father has never slept with another woman even though the death of the mother made him very depressed, he still loves the mother, he respects her a lot, he has a lot of respect for her, her body is only for mom. And now that his behavior towards me has also changed, what is this about?
"Dad already has a business friend, he's already invested thirty percent of his shares in the father's company" the father's words began the morning's conversation at the dinner table.
"Who's dad!? Why is it so easy to trust people!?" Richard felt strange. This is something new.
"He's a friend of mine, whom I met at the cathedral, do you remember?" My father asked
"He's the one who drove me home when I fainted from a drunken stupor?"
"No, I've never been drunk, what are you talking about, son?"
"Did dad's head hit? A week ago dad said goodbye to a friend at eight o'clock and left me alone at home? Then go home the next day in an unconscious condition?"
"Dad doesn't feel that way, son. I've never left you all night like that, you're dad's favorite, dad's hope."
I who was careless about his indulgent behavior now ran into the room, and threw myself on the bed leaving Dad with his own breakfast, the days began to roll, and the days began to roll, I am very careless and lazy will be very indulgent behavior more and more day to day want to try to understand the situation.
January 24, 2010, I celebrated my seventeenth birthday with my father, as well as my father's friend from the cathedral, and several other fathers' friends.
"Did you know, my name is Luminaire, just call me Mr. Lumi, and this is all my friends, your father's friends, where are your friends?" ask the man.
"I'm an introvert, I rarely chat with others in school. I'd rather read a book than I'm chatting on a topic that doesn't matter." Richard replied to the man's question in a cold manner.
"Your son is like you, Alan! Haha." The man grabbed my father while laughing.
20 Days after my birthday, I felt an awkwardness, as I looked down from my bedroom window, countless black-robed humans behind the trees were looking over here, I was, I was, then ran down to see things outside the house.
I heard my footsteps running, then sleptptt, I fell down the stairs, my back hurt, aahh
there was someone who had sprinkled oil onto these stairs, but who? Daddy!? This is impossible, why did you pour oil on the stairs?
Fortunately my head is not why only the waist and buttocks are sick because of sitting
"It turns out you're not dead!" My father's face was terrible, screaming like that while dragging my feet.
"Yeahh!! What are you doing!"
"You have to die, son, don't you always want to meet your mother!? Go see your mother" said my father, who was still dragging my feet.
"Dad!! Mom is dead!! Mom is no longer here with us!! What are you going to do!!" Hitting my father's very strong hand holding my leg.
"You need to stay here!" Dad dragged me to the barn and locked me in it.
"We're gonna die together, son, don't you miss your mother? Equally, I also want to stay in God's heaven in order to meet him!"
I'm not that easy to obey his orders, in that barn I was looking for a way to get out, but I didn't find a way, this warehouse doesn't have an exit, I kept thinking, I finally saw the window above! Yess, in my heart of excitement, quickly picked up a brick on the shelf at the bottom of the shed, then climbed up the shelf and tried to break the window using a stone, but unfortunately the window was very difficult to break.
Until finally the temperature of the room feels hotter, making me sweat, what is this.
After breaking the window shortly from the rising room temperature earlier, I finally exited the warehouse through a small window gap and fell to the ground.
Thankfully, I had no serious injuries or injuries, only my legs were sprained, but I saw the house, and a huge fire was burning.
I ran towards the front of the house, but I retreated after seeing the house that had been partially consumed by the fire, I then called the fire department.
I looked back, the black-robed people were no more, sukurlah?
Wooo Wooo Wooo sounds sirens of fire engines coming to the site, they are trying to extinguish the increasingly fierce fire.
"My father, my father, my father's there! Is he helping?" richard shouted at one of the firemen. With his hustle into the house.
"No son, forgive us, we can't help him" replied one of the firemen.
Three people from the fire department were seen carrying the body out of the house using a special orange bag wrapped around the body for an autopsy at the hospital.
Daddy!!! Hope you calm down there with mom, why are you doing all this...
