Marcel stood in pure awe, gazing at the beautiful figure right in front of his eyes. It was a moment he had longed for, to see his mother again after ages.
All the questions he had always wanted answers to were momentarily set aside as he embraced the overwhelming joy of being reunited with her.
"I am so happy to see you both together!" Zendaya smiled, her thumb gently caressing Marcel's cheek as tears welled up in her eyes.
Marcel, overwhelmed with emotions, asked softly, "You remember me?"
Tears streamed down Zendaya's cheeks as she spoke. "A mother can be everything but forgetful. You both are the most precious gifts of gods to us. I am sorry to have left you both out alone."
Her voice quivered with guilt as she touched Marcel's face and Cassiel's arms. She couldn't help but blame herself for all the time her sons had needed her but she wasn't there for them. The weight of her absence weighed heavily on her heart.
