old man Lester is dead

    She'd stayed up all night by his bedside to administer his medication according to the hourly prescription. She stayed there along with his nurse.       But at midnight, father opened his eyes weakly and said “You're the one here Luna?” He'd asked. Initially she'd wondered why he used those words. But then, she soon understood what he meant.       “All these years, I'd always thought Anna will be by my bedside when I die,but she'd gone before me and here you are, in her place”       Those were the last words of father to her. Luna sniffled and stood by the sidelines, beside her was Richard. They all were broken and for a while none could console the other.       But there was something else that father said and Luna couldn't say it out loud. She'll keep it in her heart in order for her not to act selfishly.       “The ambulance is waiting outside. Father's remains must be taken to the morgue” Richard informed. He would be taken there while they made preparations for his funeral.
