He lays there silent. No words yet, he knows his body only has a few to spare before he leave this world. He remembers what Marx said when his maid came an asked before he died if he had any last words. Marx told her: "Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."
The old man, conscious that he was a fool will simply use his last word wisely. His body feels heavier by the second, he tries to smile and wishes he manages to do soo as he stares into his wife's eyes. And while his son holds his hands and cries, he begins to implore him to forgive him for all their fights and his recklessness.
"Dad. I am sorry! I won't make a costumer wait, I will be the first person in the shop and the last one to leave!" Tears keep coming out and the old man can't help feel sorrow. To make it stop he tells his son honestly: You made me proud!
The young man is a little relief, he even stops weeping. However, they both realizes that it is time to say goodbye which is why his wife comes closer. She asked him:"What would you have done differently in this life?"
"I shouldn't have made you wait...I now have to wait for you" And as he smiles and she gives a small laugh she says to him: "Karma".
