[Airport]
"Becareful Nel ok?, your real father is waiting and be a good son to them like you treated us ok?"
"O...ok"
*Len sobbed
"Oh dear say something before Nel leave"
"Nel, be a good boy ok? And be brave so that you can protect yourself"
"Yes"
*Nel hugged both Len and Tom
"Don't worry after i came back here, i well bring good news ok?"
*step step step
Every step of Nel that getting further and further away to Len and Tom, is getting more and more sad for them.
"Becareful ok!?"
"Yesss!!!, thankyouuu!!!". With a tears dropping at Nel eyes.
"Yoshhh!!"
"new family, new start..."
Nel woke up early in Bohol and asked Tom, whom he fondly called "Paps," to accompany him to the market. Tom agreed but requested a moment to eat first. Nel, in a warm gesture, revealed that he had cooked Tom and Len's favorite food, fish. Surprised, Tom asked if there was a special occasion, and Nel simply explained that he missed cooking for them. Len, waking up earlier than usual, also expressed surprise at the special meal. Nel assured her it was just because he missed them, prompting a heartfelt hug between mother and son.
As they sat down to eat, they prayed together before indulging in the meal. After eating, Len complimented Nel's cooking, expressing her wish that he could stay longer. Tom gently reminded her that they weren't Nel's biological parents. Nel had been miraculously saved by them after being swept away by the ocean when he was only seven. Tom encouraged Nel to study hard once he reunited with his real family.
Nel, fighting back tears, reassured Len that he would visit them often and cook for them, reminding her that he would always be their son, even if not by blood. They decided to spend Nel's remaining time with them by going on trips, visiting the beach, enjoying food, and watching fireworks together, creating cherished memories.
A month later, at the airport, Len and Tom tearfully said goodbye to Nel. Len reminded him to be a good son to his biological family, while Tom advised him to be brave and protect himself. Nel promised to return with good news, hugging them one last time before walking away. Each step Nel took felt heavier with the sadness of their parting, but with tears in his eyes, Nel looked ahead, determined to embrace his new beginning with his biological family.
