Naiburol na ang malamig na bangkay ni Larry. Naglulumpisaw naman sa iyak ang mama ni Larry.

Tahimik na binabalikan ng magkakaibigan ang mga masasayang alala na meron sila noon.

"Why my son? Please bring him back! Let me die instead. It's all my fault!" 

Halos maglumpisaw sa kakaiyak ang mother ni Larry. But it doesn't matter it, right now. Those tears can not bring him back. It was hard for us, but, we need to accept the fact and think that everything happened, has a reason.

Bender's Pov.

As I looked to his coffin, all memories bringing back. I just don't understand why he needs to disappear, suddenly, like a blink of an eye.

My tears fell as Nathalie approach me, rubbing my back. Showing her sympathy.

She was looking at the coffin. "I know, it was hard for you to disappear him, just that fast. I also know how important Larry for you as your bestfriend and as a brother as well, and.. it was also hard for me, seeing him like that. He is so kind and humble, especially when the time he knows that we are a brother and sister. He cared about me a lot. I didn't even did what a brother and sister do as a family. How to care each other, love and.. lately, I am wondering of having a brother who will there to support and taking care of me, telling who will be my boyfriend, if he's the right. But all this time, all that dreams was just a dream. For now, I failed him. Like my mother, also failed her!" She was already sobbing and realizing that Nathalie was the most pitiful.

She did not much express herself to her brother even they shared a moment as a lovers. I don't know how did they over come it. I think it was a long process of analyzing and forgetting about the past.

I hug her tight, expressing myself that I am always here not just as a boyfriend or something but as her brother as well.

Time so fast that we doesn't realize that Larry was already on his grave. We just only saw, the soil that suddenly covering his coffin.

Meanwhile, a voice coming from our back made us turned. They are going to get Larry's mother and going to jail to give her a lesson. A lesson to teach her, how important our life is. Without hesitation, Larry's mother go with them. She was full of regression. It is not her fault, it was Larry. But on the other hand, he is the one who paid for his mother's debt.

"Wait," Nathalie stop them. He approached Larry's mother and hug her sincerely.

"I am so, sorry." She said while embracing her.

"I already forgive you, not because Larry was gone but it was the right thing to do. I am sorry, too."

Her husband and offspring give her a hug, not for a goodbye but as they will miss her and also a forgiveness.

The police officer, guide her to their car. Her family was look upset but there is a face of forgiveness.

I am happy that we all come through the day with forgiveness in our heart, despite of Larry's loss.
