Ares stood among his fellow classmates, wearing a distinctive academic robe and a graduation hat that stuck tightly to his head. Next to him, his family gathered with pride. His father and mother, who had always been pillars of support on his journey, smiled proudly at the sight of their son reaching an important milestone in his life.
His brothers, who were feisty and carefree, gave support with adorable claps and smiles. They were a source of joy and inspiration for Ares, who always struggled to set a good example for his sister.
Among the crowd, relatives and close friends of Ares were also present, filling the room with laughter and cheering sounds. They are witnesses of Ares' long and winding journey, providing invaluable support and friendship over the years.
When his name was called, Ares stepped forward with a feeling of pride and gratitude that filled his heart.

In the crowd, Ares felt grateful for all the support and affection he received. She felt full of gratitude to her family who had always been by her side, the friends who had always supported her, and all the teachers and mentors who had guided her.

Ares bluffed Abhy's head. "Just the same! If this continues, I guarantee you'll be eternal students."
"Res, tuh, your family's all come. Compact yes, just because your graduation can gather all," said Timmy.
Ares' gaze turned towards the garden. There was his father and mother and his brothers.
"I went there first" said Ares as he walked away from his friends.
He hugged her one by one and kissed her parents' hands.
"Congratulations, Res. Welcome to the real world" Arvy said, giving a bouquet of flowers. He came with Adila who is now his wife.
Ares smiled. "Thank you, Brother. Hopefully, Arvy's heart is also knocked to want to go to college to feel graduation," he said with a soft tone.
"Eh, this kid!" Arvy hit his sister's head. Everyone laughs.
"Yes, thank you, Ren. Now you look like a turtle!" chirps Ares.
Alan glares. "You're!" he said with annoyance.
"This book likes to comment ... Don't be so dong, Irene is pregnant, naturally big belly," said Indira. He also picked up the ears of his youngest son.
"Yes, Ma! Jewer only, Mama's last child is very naughty," pinta Arvy.
"Okay, Ma. I'm just kidding, "I'm Ares.

"From one of Alex's relationships. He's a collector too" Erika replied.
"Let's take a photo together first" Vito asked.
"Okay, Pa! Can't you wait for Alfa to have a partner? Pity that he came to my graduation did not have a partner of his own" said Ares.
Alpha's lips were pouting. His eyes glanced sharply at Ares. "Give me back my gift!"
"Haha ... Kidding, Brother!" Ares said. "Let's take a photo together. Let me partner with Alfa," he said.
