Seven Sunday’s Story
The story starts when Capt. Manuel is celebrating his birthday.
His sons greeted him through video calls, but sadly, no one of
his children visited him on his birthday because they were too
busy with their work and their own families. At the last minute
of Capt. Manuel’s birthday, Dr. Nelson visited, and Manuel’s
found out he was sick with lung cancer, so he messaged all his
children to say to them that he was dying. They wanted Capt.
Manuel to have a second opinion with another doctor, but
Capt. Manuel didn't want that. Capt. Manuel wanted to spend
time with his children on his last seven Sundays.
But his children have a problem with a schedule. Allan's ABC store is
about to go bankrupt, and his wife is pregnant. Bryan is busy at work,
Cha is busy taking care of her children, and only Dexter went to Capt.
Manuel's house because he is hiding from the authorities because he is
involved in a festival event scam. On the first Sunday, they planned to
surprise Capt. Manuel with a party, But Capt. wasn’t really surprised
because Jun confessed about the party, and he told Capt. Manuel to
pretend that he was surprised. Then he went to the house and
pretended that he was surprised at their son’s party. The party went
well from the start, but then people started to get bored.
Then Capt. Manuel had an idea and asked them to play basketball, so his sons and
grandsons did, but they began to misunderstand each other and began to argue.
Capt. Manuel started to get annoyed and brought a knife and asked them to just kill
each other if they didn't stop arguing. The next Sunday, they apologized to Capt.
Manuel and asked him what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go, and they
did what Capt. Manuel wanted. On the night of the same day, Doc Nelson called
Capt. Manuel to say his first diagnosis was false. He did not have lung cancer, just
TB. Capt. Manuel is about to tell the good news, but he is afraid that if they knew,
they would not visit him again, so he keeps it secret. On the third Sunday, they go
to the beach for vacation, making many memories. They play, and lastly, Capt.
Manuel reads all the letters from his son and wife that he kept when he was
abroad.
On the fourth Sunday, Capt. Manuel asked Dexter to join him in buying ice cream at the
ABC store. Mr. Kim came and started to talk to Allan about buying the ABC store. And Capt.
Manuel was shocked because he didn’t know that the store was starting to go bankrupt.
Allan confessed to Capt. Manuel that their store was falling apart. The following day, some
authorities found Capt. Manuel's house where Dexter lived to talk about the festival scam,
but Camille saved him and misled the authorities. Camille began to inquire about it, and
they went to the restaurant where Camille worked, and Dexter started to confess about the
festival scam. After that, Dexter sees Cha's husband with a college woman and punches
him in the face for cheating on his older sister.
In another point of view, Capt. Manuel calls Bryan to help his older
brother Allan with the store. Bryan visits Allan and they talk about the
store. Then Allan hugs him, and they talk about each other. Bryan
confesses to Allan that he already has a son, and Allan was shocked and
advises Bryan some thoughts. The following day, Allan went to the
hospital with his wife to have a check-up on their baby. After that, he
started to talk to Dr. Nelson about his father's condition, and he found
out that his father had only TB and not lung cancer. He went to his
father's home and confronted him. Then he advised his father to tell his
siblings about his condition as soon as possible.
They went to see their father on the fifth Sunday night. They started
talking about something, and they were all happy until the tragedy
happened. It started when Dexter confronted his older sister, Cha,
about her husband, whom he saw in the restaurant. After that, Dexter
went to his room where he heard his father and Jun talking to each
other. He found out that his father was not sick. He left the room to talk
to his older brother Bryan about that, but Bryan confronted him first
about the festival scam. Because his older brother's boss's son was one
of a victim of that scam, and when they started arguing, their sibling
came to stop them.
But then Dexter switched the topic to Cha's husband and
many confrontations happened between them until at last
they knew that their father was not sic and Allan defended
their father. Then Allan and Bryan started arguing and
throwing hurtful words, and then they all got dramatic and
started to leave their father's house one by one. On the sixth
Sunday, Allan went to his brother and brought crispy pata to
reconcile. Then they started to say sorry to each other. After
that, they went to Camille’s house to see their other brother,
Dexter, and apologized to him.
Then they went over to their sister's house and apologized to
her as well. And then they accompanied Bryan to support his
meet-up with ex-girlfriend Juliana and his son, after that, they
went to the cemetery and found their father talking to the
grave of their wife, And they apologized to their father for all
of their lack of care for him. And on the seventh day, they
open a new store, from ABC store to ABCD store, and become
a happy family.
Seven Sunday’s Lesson
The lesson of the story is to appreciate our parents and make them feel
that we love them, not just at the time they are near death, but while
they are still with us. The second is to love our siblings even if we
sometimes have misunderstandings and conflicts with them. Never
remove them from your life because of these conflicts but use this
conflict to strengthen your relationship with them. Like the siblings in
the story, they have many conflicts and misunderstandings with each
other, but in the end, they apologize and forgive each other. And lastly,
always have a good bond with your family.
