Paul cried, begged, and shouted, but there was no one who could help him; he even begged the same people, the same subordinates of the Ilma family, despite knowing that they were the culprits that caused his suffering.
In desperation, Paul did everything, but despite all the efforts, he was not able to save his wife and his child.
Paul did not even have the money to do a proper burial for them both, and thus he had to personally dig the grave for his family members and bury them outside in the barren land.
He couldn't even put a tombstone there, as he knew that the soldiers would come and destroy it all if they found out that he had illegally dug the place.
With no family and no hope for the future, Paul, a hardworking man who had spent his entire life providing for and protecting his family, became an alcohol addict and wasted away his life in taverns.
