"The name has been confirmed as Vanya Antonov." The reporter said. Steve was shocked. "What!?" Steve exclaimed. "What happened?" Karen asked. "No, no, no, no." Steve said and went straight to Vanya's house. William and Sophia went behind him. Steve enters her house. "Steve?" Mr Antonov asked. Steve was crying. "Steve..." Mrs Antonov said crying and hugged him. "What has happened suddenly?" Steve asked crying. "She is gone." Mrs Antonov said crying. William and Sophia understood that she was his love. "Steve, let's go." Sophia said. Steve went to the dead body. "Vanya, how can you leave me? Vanya... Please get up." Steve said crying. Sophia came from behind and hugged him. "Brace yourself, Steve. She is gone... You have to accept it." Sophia said emotionally. Steve cries continuously. "Steve, let's go home." William said. "No, I will live here with Vanya." Steve said crying. "We will come back. We will come back for sure... But we have to get ready for her funeral." William said. "I will also come with you, I promise." Sophia said.

They reached home. "What happened?" Karen asked. "She was his..." Sophia said. Steve ran to his room crying. "Steve." William said. "Let him go and cry for some time." Sophia said. "We have to get ready, her funeral is in an hour." William said. "Sophia, only you can handle him... You have to get him ready." Karen said. "I will also come." Joseph said. "Sure, papa." William said. "Let's get ready." Karen said. (Door knocks) "Steve?" Sophia asked. But no one answered. "Steve, it's me... Sophia." She said. "Please leave me alone." Steve said crying. "Steve, open the door, now." Sophia said. Steve opened the door. "Oh you're already ready for the funeral." Sophia said. "What has happened suddenly, Sophia." Steve said. "Brace yourself, Steve. We can't change anyone's destiny. It was her time to go." Sophia said. "You're looking beautiful in this black bouffant." Steve said. "Thank you. You're also looking handsome, in this suit." Sophia said. "This was her favourite suit." Steve said. "Really?" Sophia asked. "Yes." Steve said. "Then we would have gotten along very well." Sophia said. "Yes." Steve said and again started crying. "Steve." Sophia said softly. "Why is it always me? Why always me, Sophia?" Steve asked crying. "Always?" Sophia asked. "You remember that girl who died of an accident a year ago?" Steve asked. "Yes, her name was... Um..." Sophia said. "Kristina." Steve said. "Yes, Kristina." Sophia said. "I loved her too... But she died, I loved Vanya and she died..." Steve said crying. (Sophia sighs)

"In the name of almighty God, Amen. Everyone who wants to give flower to the grave can come now." The pastor said. Everyone placed the flower on the grave. "He is not gonna be okay for a long time, mum." Sophia said. "Hmm." Karen said.
