Reunion
As he looked into his father's eyes, now filled with a mixture of regret and longing, Martin felt something shift within him. The walls of bitterness he had built around his heart begin to crumble, replaced by a newfound sense of empathy. His father, sensing Martin's internal struggle, begins to speak, his voice hoarse with emotion.
" Finally, you came… my son…." He said in a whisper, tears were rolling from the corner of his eyes.
Despite the years of hurt and pain, he finds himself unable to hold onto his anger. Instead, he felt a deep sense of compassion for the man lying before him, frail and vulnerable.
When Martin was by his father's side, grappling with a whirlwind of emotions, Steven's mom, Oliver, entered the room. Her presence was unexpected, and Martin's initial reaction was one of guarded curiosity.
