One day, the ghost of Amir (Ivan Carapiet) seemed to have haunted Andot (Zaijian Jaranilla) inside the facility, which apparently served as his wake-up call to realize that his father had been right all along. This was further fortified by the sincere pep talk he had with one of the social workers, which helped further encourage him to have a change of heart and be finally remorseful of the crime he committed.
Despite his initial qualms on visiting Andot again in the facility for his birthday celebration that Rebecca (Rosanna Roces) and their other children had prepared for following their fight, Benny (Dominic Ochoa) still came and made amends with his son. This further encouraged her to live a renewed life, especially when the facility he was at then helped him to enroll in college. He was chosen to be one of the scholars, yet he had no choice but to take up Criminology since it was the only available course during that time even though he was hesitant at first.
He was later on released from the facility but the happiness he felt was not full since he was still doubtful if was truly deserving of all the great things that were happening in his life at the time. Since he still had fees to pay at school and other expenses despite being a scholar, Andot had to go back to doing habal-habal.
Following his heart-to-heart conversation with his father, who reminded him that forgiving oneself doesn’t mean forgetting the mistake he committed but exerting efforts to do what’s right and to correct his life.
In his attempt to attain closure, Andot went to the crime scene one night, recounted the incident, and imagined himself coming face-to-face with Amir and the different ending that could have happened. Andot then uttered, “Hindi ko kakalimutan, pangako.”
Andot's (portrayed by Zaijian Jaranilla) desire for independence and control over his own life pushes him to tread a dangerous path. But just when he gets the freedom he yearns for, a tragedy ultimately changes his life.
