The Mafia's Wife
Chapter 21: The day of the funeral

The day has now changed, as it was said yesterday that today is the day of the funeral for Petter Morgan—the old man who died at the hands of Kenzo. After a week in the hospital morgue it is time for the man to rest in peace.

All the files that the Petters had to deal with had been handled by Kenzo since he was in Orlan. Since Petter was unmarried and had no family, Kenzo took care of everything until it was time for the old man to be buried.

Not many people came to the funeral. Even the amount can be counted with one hand. Kenzo gave her a white flower in front of the tomb and prayed for her so that God would accept her and all the sins she had committed in her lifetime.

"Old not meet." Said a man who now put the flowers he carried joined with other flowers in front of the tomb petter.

Kenzo opened his eyes and glanced at the man who was praying for Peter. "When are you back, Arlo?" Ask the man with the dark brown round hat.

"It's been a long time." The answer. "How are Mr Alvin and Rei?" Ask.

"Rei is very good." The answer. "With Alvin.... He's in recovery phase after surgery."

Arlo looked at Kenzo. "Operation? What operation?" Ask curiously. Because the man did not have a history of any disease to require him to undergo surgery.

"He was shot while in Orlan." Kenzo replied, turning around and leaving the petter's final resting place. Arlo followed where the man went with the same statement. "How can you?"

"long story. What is clear is that at the moment, Alvin is fine" Kenzo explained.

"Is the wound so bad?" Arlo asked with accelerated footsteps to catch up with the fast-paced Kenzo.

"Sure, that's why he had to have surgery." Kenzo looked at Arlo who was now on equal footing with him.

Arlo fell silent and still followed Kenzo's hurried footsteps. I don't know why the man's footsteps are so fast compared to the way his brain works. "Uncle Kenz!" Call Arlo when he's far behind because Kenzo's in the car.

Arlo Immediately runs when Kenzo stops and waits for him. "What kind of gunshot wound is it?" Arlo was so curious that he asked that.

Kenzo looked at Arlo, "Is that important?" He asked and answered a nod of his head sign that he agreed with Arlo. "Only ordinary gunshot wounds." He said then get in the car.

Kenzo opened the window until Arlo showed a happy face because he would be invited to go with an older man. "Go home!" Strictly the man. "Don't let your mother tell me to look for you again just like ten years ago!" Firmly the man up to Arlo was surprised and said. "I've grown up and traveled the world alone, uncle!"

"You're only big on your body, the rest is less to say as a grown man." Obviously Kenzo to Arlo a little hurt by the words of his uncle. But he was used to the spicy words that always came out of Kenzo's mouth.

Kenzo started the car and closed the window. His foot that had stepped on the gas pedal now turned on the brake pedal until the man's car stopped suddenly. "Uncle, Open!" Arlo banged on Kenzo's car glass.

Kenzo let out a rough breath. His words were indeed true about the maturity of Arlo who is still very lacking it. The proof is that the man banged on the glass of his car while shouting like a child who was asking to buy something.

"What?" Kenzo asked after he reopened the windshield.

"Where are you going?" Ask Arlo. "Isn't Alvin's mansion going that way?" He pointed to the back of the car. Alvin and Arlo look the same age but in fact Alvin is older than Arlo.

"I'm going to Milan." Answer Kenzo.

Arlo's two eyebrows intertwined, "Milan?" Herbs. "What are you going to do there, uncle?"

While in Milan, Alvin has gathered with his family. The bustling atmosphere at the mistress Fortino residence made Alvin fed up and chose to sit in a small garden near his house in search of a calmness.

"Why do you often make a show like this after you're gone?" Pissed Alvin. He hates his mother's changing attitude since the death of his father, Marco. His life that was originally rainbow-colored suddenly turned into a cloud of black clouds accompanied by lightning. Dark and creepy that must make you careful because lightning can strike without cue.Soft weakness of a mother to her child she no longer feels. Only violence and scolding can always be obtained when he meets the woman who has given birth to him. That was the reason he chose to move out and live with his two hands, Rei and Kenzo.

"This year she's been partying at home three times." His grunt with a face that half held back the anger.

His bent face added a cuteness to the man's face until the pair of eyes that had seen him from earlier began to pull his lips until a smile was engraved on his face. The brown-haired woman curled her back was made more wrong when Alvin pulled her hair back. "Gosh, he's getting good-looking." Mumbled.

"Greta, what are you doing there?" Ask someone until the woman is surprised.

"A-I'm looking for fresh u-air, Auntie." Answer with a smile.

"It's hot enough for you, huh?" Guess the woman. "You better go out and take a walk." Continue to give advice.

Greta nodded, "Alright, I'll be out after lunch." The woman who greeted Geta is now gone.

Felt the room was quiet again, grate again looked at the window to understand Alvin's good looks from a distance. But really poor. Alvin turned out to be gone from that place until the grate was sad.."I still like it a long time ago." Inner Grate.

He confessed to himself that the feeling of liking he had for Alvin was not just a sense of admiration for his cousin's brother. But the like of men to women and vice versa. I really want him to convey that feeling. But since the departure of Marco, Alvin began to change and no longer close to himself as before. How depressing.

"Grates! The grate!" Call someone but the woman is still busy looking out the window. "Grates!" This time he held onto the woman's shoulder and again made the curly haired woman surprised.

"A-pa?" Grate turned around and was surprised to find that Alvin was the one who called him.

"Say you want to go out" Alvin said in a low voice but could still be heard.

"Yes, I want to get some fresh air." Grate replied after a while without blinking and just looking at the man's face.

"Well, you'll be accompanied by him." Alvin pointed to a woman in a household assistant uniform.

"Are we not going together?" Ask.

Alvin smiled, "I'm busy, grate." Alvin replied "Have fun in Milan with him, grate!" Alvin said then walked past the grate just like that until the woman felt upset.

"Alvin, Watch Out for You Yes!" Inner Grate while looking at Alvin's back which slowly moved away from him.

"Miss, where are we now?"" Ask the waitress who Alvin had appointed.

"Not anywhere! I want to sleep!" Then he ran to his room.

After meeting Grate, Alvin now walks to his room to rest before joining his extended family at the party.
