Okay, he didn't know where to start again. I already saw my confirmation in that, but he intervened. He explained to me completely matter-of-factly: “As it is at funerals. You first get a moment alone with the dead man and then the survivors feign grief. After that, my relatives went to a restaurant and stuffed their stomachs."

The funeral was in a Buddhist temple; Eve's eyes were red at the end when her lovely grand aunt was cremated. But her children were at the other end of the temple, taking pictures and faking tears when the video camera got to them. How disrespectful to the great Aunt Rebecca!

Then she was about to leave when a familiar young man with sharp green eyes and crisply ironed suit blocked her path.

Nana laughed. “Hey, Nana!” she exclaimed. “Stop reading me!” “What can I do? I know how the future works,” she meaningfully answered. “It made it easier for me because we’re connected.” She couldn’t understand Nana's last word. She even asked her but she didn’t get any reply. Only then did she notice that they were in a cemetery where the young adults and above gather. They are all wearing black formal clothes. “Is it All Souls' Day now? But it’s not the day that I know—”

They didn't cry, they didn't look sad, but it was clear from the faces of the grown men that they were mourning. Those who attended the funeral which lasted less than an hour were not far from the old men. Father's friend, of course. "At this age, death is inevitable." A man dressed all in black there stared at the mound with a sigh. He's Uncle Tito. His arms folded behind his back made him look much older now. Uncle Tito is indeed old, much older than Brian. Mark nodded, replying to the old man's words.

I said as I watched a little boy holding hands with an older man, they were laughing as they walked down the sidewalk on the other side of the road. I was taken aback as he grasped my hand, pulling me into the funeral home. My heart sank as I noticed Mama's presence, but she seemed completely indifferent to my presence. Scott engaged in conversation with her, while I remained unnoticed. Meanwhile, the body had been taken away to undergo preparations for the viewing. We waited and waited until they were done. Mama and Scott talked about the death certificate and taking him back to the church so people could come and pay their respects. Everything then happened so fast. They loaded his body in

We hugged under the water for what felt like an eternity. "I'm sorry that you had to see me like that Ginevra" he sniffed. "It's okay this really took a toll out of us" I replied as I shed more tears. He stared at me wiping off my tears and telling me it was going to be okay but it sounded like he was trying to convince himself. We got out of the shower to get ready for the funeral. I don't get why the word funeral has the word fun in it; there is nothing fun about it. As for us the Mafia family we only have the after party for an enemy because we celebrate.

I envy her because she is living the vision I have for my kids. “The streets are snowy, as in white and soon it shall be valentines, as in adding red which happens to the colour of blood to the white? You really think that’s a poem in a mafia funeral?” Detective Solomon snaps at his trainee before the coffin descends and we all rise up and walk away leaving a few men sorting out the grave. Twenty minutes, that’s how long the funeral took. Everyone gets to walk away and life continues, but if the past is anything to go by, a chunky piece of my and father’s heart will remain here forever.

It was a hushed, reverent gathering of the tribe. Sienna sat on the bed with Aria, holding her hand. Claire was making tea in the kitchen. Emma, Theo, Liam, and Grace were in the living room, looking at photos, crying, laughing. "He looks peaceful," Sienna whispered. "He was," Aria said. "He was ready." The funeral was held three days later. It wasn't a bonfire on the beach—the fire marshal had vetoed that—but it was close. They gathered on the estate lawn, under the old oak tree. There were hundreds of people. Senators. CEOs. Former foster kids who were now doctors and teachers.

He hugged me gently. "Miss Alex, it's good to see you. Though I wish it were under better circumstances." I hugged back. "Me too. Thank you for calling." He led me toward the garden where the funeral was set up; a small tent with chairs in rows. There were just a few people in black, some I recognized from Mum's film world; producers and assistants.
