«Where did you get those watches?» — a millionaire spots the unmistakable timepiece of his deceased son on a poor boy’s wrist.
When the boy explains, the man is left speechless… 😱
“It’s a gift from my dad.” Mark froze. “W-what… dad?” he stammered.
“The one who found the boy in the sea,” the child continued. “He told me… there was a storm.
The boy was alive, but so weak. They pulled him ashore.
Dad said the boy held onto these watches the whole time, never letting go.”
Mark’s chest tightened, his breathing stopped. “And then…” the boy lowered his eyes, “…they had no money.
None at all. They couldn’t keep him. He was sent to an orphanage.
But Dad kept the watch… and later gave it to me.” A ringing filled Mark’s ears.
The market, the crowd, the sky—all vanished. All he could see was the storm.
He saw his son. Alive. For three years, he had mourned a child who had never truly died.
Now, hope surged within him—his son was out there, and he would find him soon. Most importantly… he was alive.
