After sobbing hard, his tears flowing silently, Renov felt as if his day had reached its worst. The knowledge of his father's actions and the accident that had resulted in the loss of his lover's parents weighed heavily on him. He had done nothing wrong, yet he was suffering the consequences of everything.

Renov: *Dad, I love you. I know you'd never do something like this—killing the family of your best friend. There must be some mistake. I'm sure of it. You loved your best friend more than anything, and Mom, she loved you so much. You were always so devoted to her, like no one else in the world mattered to you.*

Tears streamed down his face as he continued, his voice breaking

Renov: *What do I do now, Dad? How do I go on? I love her so much. I can't afford to lose her. I always dreamed of a future with her, and I was the happiest person when I was with her. How can I tell her that I'm the son of the man who killed her parents? How can I pretend like nothing happened? All these years, she's suffered so much because of us. How can I blame you, Dad?*
