The moment was so abrupt that Nina couldn't process it. She held him tightly, her face etched with disbelief, while tears streamed down Freya's face uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Nash stood nearby, holding Gemma in his arms, his expression grave. Beside him, Orion sobbed loudly, his cries echoing across the beach. He had grown deeply attached to his grandfather during the tthey had spent together. But what could they do? Death was irreversible.
Plans for Pharaoh's funeral began, and Nina suggested holding it by the sea, as it was where he had expressed his final wishes.
However, Micah firmly insisted on honoring Pharaoh's stated desire. "Dad wanted to be buried in Birkham. Let's respect his wishes. Nina, this way, it'll also be easier for you to visit him." Nina hesitated, her voice trembling as she replied, "But Birkham isn't where he's from. The Yaren Tribe was his home. And maybe he could be buried with Mom. They could finally be together." Her words carried a raw, aching sorrow, slicing through the air like a knife.
Micah pressed his lips together and spoke gently, "Mom's death was a wound Dad never recovered from. He never wanted to talk about it. Now that he's gone, let's at least fulfill his wish." Nina felt as if her heart was being crushed. Losing her father so suddenly had left her reeling.
The funeral was intimate, attended only by their closest family. Nash arranged for Pharaoh to be buried in the best cemetery in Birkham, ensuring everything was handled with care.

We've always said that wherever you go, I'll go. I don't see why this should be any different." Micah cupped her face tenderly. "I know, but the procedure isn't done yet. Staying here gives you tto recover and also lets you be there for Nina. I'm worried about her. Once everything is ready, I'll cget you." "Alright," Freya relented.
Meanwhile, Nina was in a fragile state. Despite the love and care she had received from her adoptive parents, Zion and Julia, the reappearance of her biologicalfather, especially after all he had done to make amends, had reignited her longing for him to stay.
