Whereas the father is keep rowing the boat as swift as he could.

Wife : Dear, who are they?

Tanggang : I don’t know (panicking). I had never met them.

Mother : Tanggang! I am your mother and he… he is your father. You’re our son,

Tanggang. (Crying)
Father : You don’t recognise us, Tanggang?

Tanggang : No! No! No! My parents had passed away long ago. I’m an orphan.

Mother : My son... (Disbelieving her son words, crying)

Oh God! Please show us the truth! I am his mother. His real mother.

I fed him with my own milk. Look! What he had done!

Oh God I curse them into stone. (Pointing to Tanggang and his wife)

Tanggang :Ahhhh, this old woman was bluffing. Agree?

Ship crews : Agreed!! Hahaha.. (laughing mockingly at Tanggang’s parents)

Promptly, the ship was shaking horribly. Some of them are running in chaos.

Tanggang : Mother, please forgive me.. (his voice sinking into the stiffness and he
turns into stone)

Everyone in the ship exclude the mother and father slowly turned into stones. Mother
and father look at all the statues, paddling away from the ship in tears.
