She put lillies on Clara's grave and sat bending her knees without caring for rain.

"I miss you so much my bestie and I'll always will. I know you why you fell for Tim! He's a very kind and gentle person who value others feelings and I am afraid that I have fallen in love with him", she said while tears fall down her cheeks.

Talia was worried and was seeing her crying from a distance with an umbrella.

"I didn't know I'll fall for him with a promise we made, I don't know if he felt the same ", said Sylvia still crying.

"Now it's hard to live a day without his presence, I know you will hate me for this now ", she said while crying.

She stood up with daisies in her hands and put them on Liza's grave.

"I promised you that I will take good care of Celab and I will ", she said and returned home dried up and started making dinner but she can't help but feel warmer than usual.

Her head felt heavy but she brushed it off by thinking it must be cause of crying.

But few minutes later she fell due to dizziness. Talia rushed towards her and found her burning up with high fever and she took her phone and wondered who to call when she heard Sylvia mumble Tim's name and she called him.
