Pavel thanked the police officers who helped him to get inside the train station. He looked at baby El who was busy looking around. He went to the ticket counter, just to be dragged by someone unknown from his elbow.

Pooh's mom was there, standing spreading her arms. Pavel wanted to run to his hometown but all the plans were interrupted by seeing his mother-in-law.

Pavel :''M- mom''

Pooh's mother: ( with a warm smile) I know that you wanted to see me 

Pavel couldn't say 'no' to her face because she always adored Pavel , therefore with a long sigh, Pavel decided to go to their mother-in-law's house , till waiting for Pooh to come back from his trip.

Pooh's mother knew about the incident and tried her best to console Pavel, but she didn't know that Pavel needed a ''me'' time to lost in his thoughts, and he didn't even think of saying that he being molested by some friend of Jeff with her. But she did take a good care of EL too. So with a heavy heart, Pavel decided to stay there.

( It's been almost 3 days that Pavel came and started living at Pooh's mom house , and it was the burial day of their beloved friend Spy)

 Pooh returns home from his trip, bearing gifts and hoping to spoil Pavel , happily. Instead, he is met with a somber atmosphere as the entire family is gathered, mourning the death of his best friend, Spy. He walks into the room where the body lies in repose, and the weight of the loss hits him hard. He breaks down in front of the corpse, unable to hold back his grief. pavel rushes to his side and hugs him tightly.

Pooh: (sobbing uncontrollably) "No... no, this can't be real. How could this happen? How could he be gone?"

Pavel: (holding him tightly, tears streaming down your face) "I'm so sorry. I know how much he meant to you. We're all here for you."

Pooh: (clinging to Pavel, his voice breaking) "He was my best friend. I don't know how to handle this. It hurts so much."

Pavel: (gently stroking his back) "I know it does. It's okay to cry, to let it out. We're all grieving with you. You're not alone."

Pooh: (crying harder, his body shaking) "Why did this happen? He didn't deserve this. I feel so lost."

You: (softly, reassuringly) ''I- It was jeff , we can't blame him either''

Pooh: ( crying) I-I'm gonna kill that fucker, with my own hands

Pavel( shaking his head with terror) : No, you can't kill him .. you don't know the whole story yet. It was Spy who pulled the triggers by himself.

Pooh continues to cry, lost of words , his tears soaking Pavel's shoulder. Pavel holds him, offering silent support and comfort. The room is filled with the quiet sounds of mourning, he was pleading with his eyes from his mother - in - law to not to mention him being molested by Mike , according to Jeff's plan because he didn't want his best friend to die.

The atmosphere in their  home has been heavy with grief ever since Pooh returned from his trip to America, mourning the death of his best friend. He has been distant, skipping meals, and withdrawing from Pavel. Pavel decides to approach him, hoping to provide some comfort. And Pooh's parents and the brother decided to move to an apartment leaving some space for the couple.

Pavel: (gently) "Hey, love. I know you're hurting, but you need to eat something. It's been days."

Pooh: (sitting in the darkened living room, staring blankly) "I'm not hungry. Just leave me alone."
