Episode 4

The festival of Willowbrook had been a tremendous success for Roma's restaurant. The town had come alive with the aroma of delicious food, and their restaurant had been bustling with a steady stream of customers throughout the day. As evening descended, the family gathered on the couch to bask in the festival's prosperity.

Roma, who had been tirelessly cooking all day, took a moment to catch her breath and noticed a letter that had been pushed aside. With curiosity, she picked it up and examined it closely, her eyes widening as she recognized the stamp on the envelope.

As she opened the letter, her heart swelled with joy. It was a college acceptance letter from an elite and prestigious institution. She couldn't contain her excitement and ran to her nephews, hugging them tightly. "Boys, you did it! You got accepted into the college!" Her eyes sparkled with pride.

Phuwin and dunk exchanged uneasy glances. Dunk finally spoke, his voice laced with hesitation, "Aunt Roma, we knew about the acceptance letter this morning, but we didn't tell you. We've decided we're not going to the city. We can't leave you alone here."

Phuwin nodded in agreement. "That's right. We won't leave you behind."

Roma's eyes welled up with tears, touched by their loyalty and love. She spoke, her voice filled with emotion, "You biys... you've grown up to be so caring and selfless. I couldn't ask for better nieces. But I want you to understand the significance of this opportunity. This college can provide you with a secure future, and I want that for you. It's my greatest wish."

Fourth chimed in, adding his support, "Mom is right, phi dunk and phi phuwin . This is a chance for you to achieve great things, and we'll always be here for each other, no matter where life takes us."

Roma's heart swelled with pride as she continued, "Remember that family is always close, no matter the distance. I'll be fine, and you need to chase your dreams. This is an opportunity I don't want you to miss, and I'll support you every step of the way."

Tears welled up in the brothers eyes as they embraced their aunt. In that moment, they realized the depth of love and care that bound their family together. The festival had not only brought financial prosperity but had also unveiled the strength of their bonds and the promise of a brighter future for the girls, even if it meant leaving Willowbrook behind.
