All of a sudden, thick black clouds began gathering in the sky, and the sun was almost immediately blocked out. Thana, you must not give up hope, a voice came down from the skies, accompanied by a crack of lightning. You think me inconsiderate, ignorant to all your sufferings and misgivings. But I just want you to know, if you hadn't suffered so much, if your heart hadn't shattered to pieces that day, you wouldn't be alive today. Your sufferings merely added to your will power, Thana.

Your father is happy today, for he was given the paradise as soon as he sacrificed himself for his daughter. One day you will come up here to meet him, but for now you need to live. Look around, Thana, find a solution to your problem. For one day this will be a lesson you will teach your children.
