EPILOGUE

Today is Angelina's fifth death anniversary. It is coinciding with Charlie's mother's 20th death anniversary.

After Angelina's death, Charlie completely broke down, but his father supported him. With his father's help, he moved on from Angelina's death and now he tries to be more faithful to his work. He tries to save as many lives as possible, with each life, he saves a love story, he saves a relation.

He never felt like marrying again. He keeps on avoiding the constant offers for dating.

Charlie wears his blue shirt, which Angelina used to like and goes downstairs. His father is already ready, wearing a three piece suit.

"Son, are you ready?" George, Charlie's father asks.

"Yes, dad. Lets go." Charlie replies with a smile. "Can't wait to meet her again."

Charlie stops his car in front of the cemetery. The cemetery is really calm, green grass covering the whole area, big cedar tress providing shade to its residents.

Charlie offers flowers to the graves of Diana, Bella, Edward and July.

He then moves to his mother's grave. He can't control his tears in front of her mother. He takes out his handkerchief and cleans the dust from her mother's grave. Then offers her mom's favorite pink roses and lights a candle.

He has brought Angelina's favorite white daisies for her. He cleans her grave too and lays the flowers on it.

"Angelina! I hope you like the flowers. I am here with you for sometime. Then I have leave for the police station." He kisses the grave, his tears wetting the marble.

Charlie's father offered flowers to the grave of her wife and her daughter in law.

Patrick and Selena also paid their  respect to the graves of their friends and relatives. Tears continuously rolling down their eyes.

Ryan and Emma also visited to pay respect and offer condolences to Charlie.

Aarav, Mia, Tom, Shawn and Camila also offered flowers to their late music teacher, Angelina. Everyone was sad. The whole atmosphere was gloomy.

Aarav and his father thanked Charlie.
"I don't know how can I pay back. You have done so much for me. I am so grateful." Aarav's father, Ram said.

"It's okay. You don't need to thank me every year. It's my duty to help people." Charlie replied, wiping his tears.

Everyone leaves one by one, except Charlie and his father. They sat next to Charlie's mother grave.

"You, mom, me and Angelina. It would have been so fun. Mom would have liked Angelina so much." Charlie said while wiping the tear from his cheek.

"Things doesn't always work as we want them to. But your mother is here, resting next to Angelina. We are here. Even if they are not here, we can feel their presence." George patted Charlie's back.

"Charlie, let's go. You work must be waiting for you." George said to his son.

"Yes dad, let's go. Mom and Angelina need rest. Bye, will see you two, next year." Charlie stood up with a teardrop falling from his eye.

'Angelina, I will always love you.'
