Chapters 1. Anthony Chavez's Family

Anthony Chavez and his family live in a small town called Colma, located on the San Francisco peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area, United States. The city, known as the silent city, has a population of corpses buried under the city greater than the population of the living population.

Based on the 2020 census, the population of Colma city is around 1507, while the number of graves reaches 1,500,000. A very striking comparison, which is 1000: 1. A number of figures are buried here, such as legendary Wild West gambler, lawyer and law enforcement Wyatt Earp, denim inventor Levi Strauss, to baseball icon Joe DiMaggio. But the people there are not at all disturbed by the condition. They said they were very happy to be able to stay and stay for generations in Colma.

Anthony Chavez and his family. Anthony was born, grew up and raised in Colma. He is the only child of Jonathan Chavez and Barbara who works as a cut flower farmer.

When he was an adult, Anthony married his girlfriend Dorothy Smith. They have 3 children together, Ethan Chavez, Fred Chavez and Patricia Chavez. Like his parents, Anthony also worked as a flower farmer in the city. After his father died, he continued the flower garden business left by his parents.

That day as usual, Anthony's family looked festive with their morning activities. Ethan and Fred, aged 5 and 3, run around the dining table. Patricia, who is 8 months old, is engrossed in her morning breakfast. He sits sweetly in his high chair (a baby feeding chair with high legs). Anthony's mother, Barbara, sat in her dining chair, on the back side of the table, sipping a glass of warm milk that the son-in-law had prepared. The old woman who still looks healthy, smiling looking at the behavior of her grandchildren who are very active.

"Ethan, stop teasing your sister. Let's get back to your seat." Dorothy reprimanded her eldest son while continuing to make pancakes for their small family breakfast that morning. As if he did not heed his mother's reprimand, the two boys continued to run in the kitchen.

Before long, Dorothy brought a plate full of hot pancakes and placed it in the middle of the table.

" Mom, this is your pancake. Be eating. " While putting 2 slices of pancakes on an empty plate located in front of her mother-in-law. Then he poured a little honey on top of the pancake pile.

" Thank you, son." Barbara smiled sincerely.

" Together, Mom." Dorothy rubbed her mother-in-law's shoulders gently.

"Ethan, Fred...!! " Dorothy again rebuked her two sons with a higher tone of voice than before.

"Fred first bothered me, ma'am. " Defend Ethan.

" Where there is. You're the one who first patted my ass. " Reply Fred.

" Hes." Anthony pulsating. The 36-year-old had just finished his bath, with the smell of soap lingering on his body, he entered the dining room and kitchen. His hair was neatly combed back, adding to the man's good looks. Wearing a red box flannel shirt and denim overalls (typical to American farmers' clothing), the 3-child father caught his two sons running around in front of him. He then stuck the two boys in both arms.

 "Both of Dad's heroes are bothering Mom, huh?" Ethan and Fred are in Dad's confinement.

With a horizontal position, yelling with excitement. They both compactly said, "No Dad !! "

"Hm.. Why do you doubt both of you. " With the romance being made seriously stare alternately at his two sons.

"Really Dad.. " Say Ethan.

"Yes Dad. Really am.. " Fred defended himself.

" Hmmm.. " Staying with his two little heroes, Anthony stepped towards his wife who again busied himself making their breakfast. He then gently kissed Dorothy's right cheek.

"Good Morning, baby. Why are you so beautiful today? " Whisper, while giving the sweetest smile to the queen of the household.

"Oh. Dear. Because there's this very handsome husband by my side. " Dorothy rubbed Anthony's cheek gently. Replying by giving a kiss on the cheek of the husband.

"You're so handsome with your outfit this morning, baby. Be sitting. Come enjoy your breakfast. "

"All right, my dear. " Anthony stepped towards the wooden dining table with those 6 chairs.

"Good, Dad. " Anthan and Fred answered at the same time.

Anthony walked a step towards his mother. "Good morning, Mom. How are you this morning?" Anthony kissed Barbara's cheek and gently rubbed the old woman's back. He gave a warm smile to the woman who had brought him into the world.

"Good morning, son. My news is good. Exceptionally well. How are you, honey?" Ask Barbara later.

"As I see it. Your handsome son is healthy and fit. " Anthony replied while sitting his body on the front side of the table. Barbara smiled broadly at the attrition of her son.

"You look a lot like your dad, baby. "

"Of course, Mom. I'm his son." Anthony was proud.

Anthony's attention turned to Patricia who was sitting on his right side.

"Daddy's daughter is having breakfast apparently." Anthony rubbed and then gently tipped the head of Patricia overgrown with thin fine hair.

"Pppppbbmmmm." The 8-month-old baby answered his father's words while snacking on his baby biscuits.

"Huh. huh.. You're so funny. Slow down, baby. No one will take your food."

"Mamamama.. " Little Patricia responds to her father's words.

"Honey. Here's your coffee. " Dorothy came up with a cup of hot milk coffee in her hand. He put it in front of his husband.

" Thank you dear. " Say Anthony with a sweet smile.

Dorothy then placed a plate full of cow's eye eggs and grilled sausages in the middle of the dining table. Then he sat on the right side of the table to the right of Patricia and to the left of Barbara.

Seeing that his family was complete, Anthony began to lead the do'a before they ate the dish.

"Let's pray first." They then join hands with each other and bow their heads.

"Father in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, praiseworthy forever. Thank you that throughout our lives, You have not been negligent in meeting our needs. We also thank the Lord Jesus for the food and drink you still give us. Bless these foods and drinks to be a strength to our bodies, health, and intelligence. So that this food does not end in vain but may return to be a blessing for the glory of Your name. Only in the name of the Lord Jesus do we pray and give thanks. Amens. "

They then removed the links of their hands and performed a small sign of the cross touching the forehead, lips, and chest with the thumb moved to form a small cross while whispering the phrase "May the word of Christ dwell in my mind, lips, and heart". The thumb, index finger, and middle finger are hooked and held together, the remaining two fingers are linked and bent to the palm of the hand.
