Chapter 8 - 7 (1/2)

Flashback.

”Sofia met with an accident and died on the spot” cried, Joseph.

Everyone stood in their place trying to sink in what had happened.

”Where is she?” Asked EJ.

Joseph told them the hospital they have taken Sofia and everyone started leaving but Ermanno held Rose under his gaze and said ”you are responsible for her death. You killed the girl I wanted and you killed my child. Hope you rot in hell” and walked away.

Rose stood there in her place unable to move.

'am I responsible for her death? Should I have said something else? Would she be alive if I said she should accept Ermanno? I killed my sister'

She was pulled out of her thoughts when Thomas pulled her with him outside to go to the hospital.

Elisio and Sabrina came in the hospital with Julius.

EJ explained to them everything that happened.

Ermanno hugged Elisio and cried for his unborn child.

Julius held his friend, Thomas and consoled him.

Cindy and Joseph cried for their daughter.

Sabrina saw Rose crying in a corner and went close to her and consoled her.

”I killed her” whispered Rose.

”Do not blame yourself for her decisions. She is responsible for her own mistakes.” Said Sabrina and held Rose in her embrace.

Rose cried her heart out hugging Sabrina.

The funeral was held two days later.

Everyone was present from family and friends.

”Sorry for your loss man. She was a good girl” said Harry, Ermanno's and Sofia's friend and colleague mate.

”You must be devastated too. You were close to her” said Remy, Bruce's son who studied with them.

Harry looked at Remy and gave him a hate gaze.

Everyone gathered in the graveyard and then finally it was time to say goodbye to Sofia.

The casket was lowered in the ground and everyone gathered couldn't stop crying over the loss of a young girl's early death.

Everyone started leaving one by one because the sky was filled with dark clouds.

Rose stood in her place looking at her sister's grave being filled with mud.

The girl who didn't allow dust to touch her was buried in the ground with all the mud.

The rain started pouring and Rose looked up and saw Ermanno looking at her without any expression.

He walked towards her and when he was inches away from her he said ”do not cross my path ever little girl cause if you do, I will make your life living hell. I will never forget what you took from me. You have been messing with my mind since the day I met you. I hate you for every mess you have ever created in my life.”

Flashback over.

...

Ermanno's words haunted Rose for years. They were fresh in her mind like it had happened just seconds back.

”There is the worst groomsman in the history of groomsmen,” said Julius and pulled Ermanno with him to the crowd.

Though being pulled away forcefully Ermanno didn't move his eyes from Rose.

After Ermanno was out of her sight Rose left the breath she was holding.

She wanted to get out of here.

She started to walk away and crashed into someone and her glasses fell on the floor.
