Michael and Nora were heading to the place where Andrew was buried when they saw Sara and Kelvin walking together with their fingers interlocked. "Wait! That is Sara and Kelvin, right?" she asked and Michael nodded.
She took her phone out of her bag and called Sara's number. They watch Sara checking her bag to bring out her phone while Kelvin waited for her.
She saw that the caller was Nora and with a huge smile, she picked the call. "Nora,"
"What are you doing with Kelvin?" she asked.
Sara was shocked. She looked around trying to find out where Nora was looking at her. She saw a hand waving and then she knew it was Nora.
She and Kelvin came to meet Nora and Michael. "Hi," Sara greeted.
"Hey Sara." Michael greeted. He turned to Kelvin and greeted him too.
Kelvin stared at Nora who seem to be having a heartfelt conversation with Sara. "She looks happy." He said to himself.
"Do you still love her?" Michael asked.
Kelvin turned to look at him and said, "No... I am just glad that she is happy." He knew he was lying to himself but he didn't want to look like a fool. Who said it was easy to get over the one you love? Even if it is painful waiting with the hope that someday they would just turn to look at you and give you a chance, you don't mind.
"I know you are lying Kev but thanks..."
"For what?"
"For sacrificing your happiness." he answered.
"He asked you to be his girlfriend?" Nora asked in shock but her face lit up a bit. "So he is going to be your nineteenth boyf..." Sara glared at her which made Nora smile. Without hesitation, Nora pulled her closed and hugged her. "I am so happy for you. I know what you have been through, I am glad you are giving love another chance."
"If you could despite everything, why shouldn't I?"
Nora nodded. She looked and her eyes met those of Kelvin's and for a moment all they could do is stare at each other.
Sara was watching them and she could tell that Kelvin wasn't over yet and she didn't expect him to be but will she be able to be with a man whose's heart belongs to someone else? She ignored the thought and went closer to Kelvin and filled the spaces of his fingers with hers which brought him back from his dreamland.
"Where are you both heading?" she asked Nora.
"I am going to see my brother.
"Ok. Well, I am going to work, call me when you get back."
Nora nodded. She bade them goodbye before she and Michael took their leave.
Sara turned to Kelvin and she saw him placing his hand on his chest as he bent down to catchbhis breath. "I didn't know it was going to hurt this much." She moved closer to him, placed a hand on his shoulders and when Kelvin raised up his head, Sara placed her lips on his which startled Kelvin a bit.
After she pulled away she told him, "I can't be with someone whose heart is already attached to someone else."
"What?"
"You still love her, Kelvin. I don't want to be an option, I want to be a choice." She bowed her head and sighed.
"Sar..."
"Maybe I might have fallen for you but you...your heart still belongs to someone else and I don't think I have what it takes to make your heart turn to me. I am breaking up with you, Kelvin."
"But...our relationship hasn't even started yet."
"It is a good thing it hasn't." She turned around and left first.

They arrived at the cemetry and Nora placed the flowers she bought after they had finished talking to Sara on her brother's grave and she got down on her knees and said, "Andrew, how have you been?" She asked. "Is it cold or warm over there? Do spirits get hungry? Do you..." She bit her lips as she wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks. "...I brought someone here with me today," she glanced at Michael then back to her brother's grave. "I know how you kept saying that Michael isn't the one for me and that he'd hurt me but Andrew, he came back to me and not for one day has he done anything to hurt me. He is a changed person now so I am begging that you please, find it in your heart to forgive him. I love him so much and I want you to accept him."
Michael placed his hand on her shoulders and when she turned to look at her, he helped her to her feet and went closer to Andrew's grave. He placed the flowers on it and knelt down before him. "Andrew, I don't know how to start or how to end it but I want you to know one thing and that is, I will never hurt your sister. I know I did in the past and you hate me for it but I am asking that you give me another chance to be with your sister and make up for my past mistakes." he paused. "I am sorry for all the mean words I said about you and your sister. I am sorry that I took her away from you and you had to die because there was no one there to help you..." he tried to hold back his tears but the more confession he was making, the more he realized the pain he had caused people and it made him so sad. "I don't deserve her but I can't live without her so begging that you please, forgive me. I wish you were alive right now but..." he swallowed back his words. "I promise that I will always love your sister and I will take good care of her and her baby. If she gives birth to a son, we would name him after you. If I do anything to hurt your sister, you are free to send your spirit to torment till I die." he wiped his tears, bowed his head and went to meet Nora who had been crying her heart out.
Michael wiped her tears and hugged. "Let's go home." he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and they walked home.
Andrew's spirit appeared and said, "Take good care of her, Michael." After he said that, he disappeared.
