The day passed so fast. Eli was now fixing his shirt and pants. He was able to rummage a few items from the ship thanks to Aliyah and Fida. The way things had gone, he was glad to have brought his barong and black pants.
Juancho and Pablo were busy helping him fix his hair. Without any of their usual oil pomade, they made use of the coconut meat that was dried in the sun. It was a makeshift pomade and very fragrant as they dropped some oils from the Sampaguita flower.
“There you look like a man and not some stowaway crew.” Juancho quipped. He really had a knack for making quirky remarks at the right time.
The three of them laughed at the joke.
“Thank you, Hermanitos. I could not have done it without your help. I am truly thankful.” He then scooped them into a hug.
Tears ran down
