On the other end John enjoying his life with Cynthia. Due to the severe pain, Matilda didn’t prepare anything to eat for dinner. John dropped off Cynthia and reached home, and asked: mat that how’s the pain.” She lied to him that she’s feeling good. “What’s for dinner,” asked John and she replied, “I was exhausted and didn’t prepare anything.” John got mad at her and started shouting at her, and they both went into a brawl. After John went to bed in black mood Matilda started to vomit blood, and she immediately called the doctor who gave treatment to her.

John reached the room where she was taking medications and finally he was standing in front of her and completely shocked. She was dead, and she left a message to John. Suddenly the rose and chocolates he bought for her fell on the floor. John with tears started reading the letter, “dear John I always wanted to tell you that I love you but you never understood my love that’s why I asked you to carry me to the table so that you understand my love and by the time you're reading this letter I won’t be alive and I don’t want to leave you, sorry for everything I will miss you a lot and take care.” John with the heavy heart and with tears kissed her in the forehead, and the next day, he buried Matilda in the backyard of his house.
