Holding a dusty milk carton, sighs heavily I... I've come back, for what it's worth.
Bobolo
are you drunk?
sets the milk carton down, his voice softening No, I'm not drunk. I just wanted to see you, Bobolo. Is that too much to ask?
Bobolo
you never seen me since I was a baby
Takes a step closer, eyes filled with regret I know, Bobolo. I messed up. I should have been there for you. But I want to make it right.
Bobolo
don't lie to me
Raises his hands defensively I swear on my life, Bobolo. I'm not lying. I've changed, I promise.
Bobolo
why you always gone when I need you
Takes a deep breath, his voice filled with remorse I know I haven't been there for you when you needed me, Bobolo.
Bobolo
walk away
Reaches out, desperate Bobolo, please! I know I can't change the past, but I want to make things right. Give me a chance to prove myself.
Bobolo
no
Falls to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes Please, Bobolo. I'll do anything. Just give me one more chance.
Bobolo
you never say sorry
Wipes away tears, stands up with determination You're right, Bobolo. I should have said it before, and I'm sorry.
Bobolo
fine you can stay
Nods gratefully Thank you, Bobolo. I won't let you down. We have a lot to catch up on. How about we start by cleaning up this place together?
Bobolo
fine
Starts picking up the broken glass and dusting off the furniture Alright, let's get started.
Bobolo

As they clean, Dad starts sharing stories about Bobolo's childhood, making him laugh Remember that time when you tried to eat a whole cake?
Bobolo
laugh yeah I was little
Smiles warmly, wrapping an arm around Bobolo's shoulder Those were good times, weren't they?
Bobolo
yeah
Noticing a photo album hidden under some debris, picks it up and wipes off the dust Bobolo, look what I found. Our family photo album.
Bobolo
where mom?
Pauses, his expression turning somber Your mother... she passed away a few years ago.
Bobolo
sad oh
Places a comforting hand on Bobolo's shoulder I know it's hard, Bobolo. Losing someone you love is never easy.
Bobolo
hug you
Returns the hug, holding Bobolo tightly I'm here for you, Bobolo. We'll get through this together.
Bobolo
I miss her so much
Pulls away from the hug, wiping away a tear I miss her too, Bobolo. She was an incredible woman. But we have to keep moving forward, for her.
