In a beautiful lake.. the grass in the lakeshore is very green and the weather is perfect.. a mysterious guy is fishing alone.. sitting on his chair, a big tent in his side.. on his table cocktails and medium rare meat is served besides his laptop. The mysterious guy picked his phone, someone is calling him..
"Boss Project Diwata is resolved.. the subject is retrieved.." without any reaction the guy just dropped the call..
He is enjoying the view and quietly fishing.. his laptop rang.. so gently he put down his stuff to attend to it. It's a group call..
"Lakang Datu.. I congratulate you.. but do we need to start getting serious about our plan? This plan we have been working for so very long.." (everyone in the call looks bigtime rich)
"Don't worry.. we still have them all by their necks.. Project Diwata will succeed.. all I'm worried about is why we haven't found what we're looking for yet.. Doc.. you don't even have any updates!!!?"
"Lakang Datu.. we are doing our best.. it seems to be hidden at the bottom and in the middle of the sea.."
"You will deep dive all the seas if necessary.." the fisher closed his laptop mad.
He took another phone and called someone, "Leopoldo.. it seems like our people are forgetting their duties.." the fisher whispered..
"Boss.. please excuse this shortcoming.. let me.. remind them of all this.. and focus on them even more"
"It should be.. if you don't want me to replace you.. even the territory you hold I will give to someone else.."
"Boss please.. give me another chance I will prove you wrong.."
Meanwhile..
Mayumi finally regained her consciousness, she is finally waking up.. her eyes are beginning to see a lot of familiar faces.. the room is filled with a lot of her friends.. and all of them are very happy.., balloons and flowers are everywhere..
"Wow Mayumi welcome back!" "Thank God you survived.." most of her friends are in tears.
Outside Henry is already doing his sideline working at the market, he looked at his watch and realized it's time to visit Mayumi.. EXCITED, he rushed finishing his work.
Richard is in his house.. teaching his brothers and sisters Math.. when he saw Natasha's text message.. inviting him to visit Mayumi now.., he then started preparing himself.
Meanwhile Philip is in a mall shopping for expensive dresses.. thinking deeply.. having his realizations, remembering all the words Mayumi personally told him.
(I never wanted anything this much in my life, I think I finally found someone worth risking everything..) In the shopping mall, it played the song "I'll go Wherever you will go"
(When I though she is already gone, I almost lost myself.. I don't want to lose her again.. guess what, I think I need to be frank to her, and finally tell her what I feel..)
He brave himself and went to a flower shop.. trying to buy the best flower he can give to Mayumi, ladies are amazed at him wondering who that lucky lady is.
While Charles is in the same hospital with Mayumi.. but in the emergency room.. but he is already packing his things because all his wounds are healed and he's all fine now.
"Charles.. we're going home to Manila tomorrow..! This is getting my limits.. you need to stay away from these people.. first of all, stay away from Mayumi..!"
"Ma.. I'm sorry, but I need to stay.., this is where we belong.. also I want to transfer school here" "NO! look my son! Dangers are looming here.., I am just concern for you.. we need to leave"
"Ma' all are relatives are here' there's nothing to worry, , besides.. I also want to see Mayumi fully recovered.." "Hay.. your such a stubborn kid..!"
"Okay Mayumi bye.. we're leaving and it looks like you still have a lot of visitors.." "Get well soon Mayumi.." most of Mayumi's visitors are starting to leave it's almost evening..
Philip arrived at the hospital, walking tall, well dressed and groomed, his aroma spreads throughout the entire lobby, preparing his speech for Mayumi.
(Mayumi.. Ehmm.. I think I will never call you brat girl again, but instead, My Girl.. because I really want you to be my Girl Friend.. nah.. still another nasty line.. Geez.. I cannot come up with right words)
He is still thinking deep practicing how to talk to Mayumi when Henry, Richard and Natasha arrived at the Hospital lobby as well and found him waiting at the elevator, the bouquet of flower he is holding is twice the size of what Natasha holds.., they rushed towards him.
Henry annoyingly pushed him "Hey.. Bro.. you'll visit Mayumi too..! You look great.!"
Philip's mood was ruined..
"Hey what on earth! I thought you guys already finished visting her.. the visting hours is almost finished, I thought all her guests were gone!!"
"We also have a lot to take care of.. so here we are late..!!"
(Geez.. this ruins everything… -Philip annoyed and mad)
When they arrived at the door of Mayumi's ward.. Charles is already there about to open it..
"Bro..!! How are your wounds? Are you okay..?" "Yes bro.. it's all fine now.."
Philip is smiling at Charles because he has no gift for Mayumi.. "Dude.. you look like a mess.."
"Bro.. I just came from ER.."
Richard opened the door.. and they were all very happy seeing Mayumi, all well and smiling.. she is as well happier seeing her friends again..
"They told me everything that happend.. thank you very much guys.. you saved my life.."
"It's nothing Oi.. am I not your protector..!" Henry was proud.
"Anything for you..' ehem.. I even bought you flowers.." "thanks Philip.."
"Charles, are you Ok..? I heard you were badly hurt protecting me from Red Lightning.. I thank you.. you found me.." Mayumi is very thankful but Philip is getting jealous..
"Wait wait.. it's a collective team work.., and it's because he is too weak.. that's why he is knocked out by that ninja…"
"wait weak?.. as I remember, you were the last one to fight.."
"Bro.. chill down.. what are you guys doing.. your stressing Mayumi.. you all could't do it without me.. the strongest here!!"
"Your all wrong.. Actually.. it's Richard who saved Mayumi.. his the only one with brains to call the rescue!" Natasha exclaimed and they all laughed.. (excluding Philip)
Suddenly a doctor came.. a young tall and very handsome doctor..
He walked towards Mayumi.. and she then blushed and shyly fixed her hair..
"Mayumi how are you..?" "Hi Po Doc..!" everyone greeted..
(Philip and Charles seems curious on how Mayumi is acting towards the handsome doctor..)
"Are you the Doctor for Mayumi..?
"ah.. actually no.. I just came to visit her.. and it so happens I also have a patient here in this ward.., so good to see you are fine Mayumi.. yesterday you were still asleep.."
"Oh.. you also visited me yesterday Doc..? Oh.. I didn't know.." (Mayumi blushing)
"Yes it's Ok, you were still sleeping then.., it's ok.. and get more rest.. we are all praying for you.." the Doctor came nearer to Mayumi and silently prayed for her laying his hands.. the guys felt weird about it..
"Ok.. I'll be going now.. I will visit my patients.." "Bye Doc.."
"Dudes.. Doc is not just a Doctor.. he is also a Priest.. he is the Priest where we go to church.. he's so smart.. he is already a Doctor.. he is still a Priest.. and good looking!" Henry is proud.
"ah.. you mean he is the priest for the Church we donated for construction now..?"
"Yes bro.., he's also a doctor and sometimes teaches in schools.., he's really cool.."
(Geeh he is a tough match.. Great thing, he is a priest meaning he cannot even date Mayumi or even have a girl friend..) Philip and Charles were thinking..
The group is still happily chatting, when Doctor Jeremy visited Mayumi's roommate..
"Hi Madam, how are you…? Your eyes is feeling better now? Are you seeing clearer now?" The patient was already very old, as if 80 to 90 years old.
"Yes Doc.. I can clearly see how handsome you are.." The Old lady still is lively..
"Great to hear po.. hope you can be discharged as early as possible.. I will already give a go sign for your release, but you still have five other Doctor's to give you a go.." I hope your breathing and B.P. will run smoother now.. Don't stress anymore Ma'am.. so you can go home soon.."
"Thanks Doc, yes.. I am happy with my new roommate.., she has a lot of friends.. and everyone is very happy.. that I keep remembering my youth.."
"Good to hear po.."
The group of friends were still talking when an old guy entered the room.. they all looked at him.. and the old guy just smiled at them.. and walked straight pass them, and towards the other patient Doctor Jeremy is attending..
"Oh.. Fredi.. you arrived..!!"
"Yes.. I just returned from my trip.. sorry.. I just arrived today.. let me go and see visit you every day now.."
The two old friends were happily talking.. and Doc Jeremy bid his farewell to them..
Doc also walked through the group.. and said his good bye to Mayumi.. she then shily waved his cute good bye to Doc..
BYE Reverend Doc..!! Henry Happily waved as well..
"Oh.. visiting hours are over, I also need to find my siblings.. it's getting dark.. maybe they're still playing in the street.." Henry looked at the clock..
"Get well soon.. Mayumi.." Natasha whispered..
"Get well soon.. I'm buying you flowers every day.. Ok.."
"Okay, tomorrow I'll pick flowers in the park.. so I can give you something too.".. (everyone laughed at Charles)
"Thank you guys.. so much.." Mayumi is very happy seeing her friends..
"thank you for visiting.. take care.." Mrs. Marites, told Mayumi's friends and they are all bidding their farewell.
Because they have left everything went quiet.. and there Mayumi recognized her roommate. The old Matilda looks mysterious in secrets, and she aged beautifully. The old friends are talking to each other very happily.. and she also felt the joy in their eyes.
All the new friends just reached outside of the hospital.. Richard felt something calling him, he saw a somewhat silhouette of a familiar dog, he ran trying to catch and follow but it was suddenly gone, all of them ran and followed Richard as well.
"bro what is that? What happened, why you suddenly run?"
"I think I saw the dog that gave us the letter.. but she suddenly disappeared.."
"Guys we need to discuss the masked woman.. what she said.." Charles whispered to them softly avoiding Natasha to hear it.
"Yes we need to discuss that seriously" "When can we talk to her again"
"Guys what are you whispering about there..?" Natasha is curious.
"No it's nothing Tasha..!! Okay I'll bring Tasha first.. I'll just follow you guys" Richard exclaimed to everyone. "No problem, please ride in my car, Natasha we will bring you home first.. it's getting dark already.. this time let's all together bring Natasha home.." Philip doesn't want Richard to go.
(Natasha anyway just agrees.. she really want time alone with Richard not with all of the guys but this time they look serious)
Meanwhile.. in the Hospital.. even though it's already past due visiting hours.. the old friends.. were still talking happily to each other.. no one can paint the cheerfulness in their eyes.. Mayumi is happily observing them.., and she seems happy for them as well.., but the nurse already went inside to check their vitals.. and reminded the old guy that the visiting hours is already past..
"Ok Matilda.. bye for now..", "Bye Frederick.." "get well soon.."
When the visitor left.. Mayumi greeted Matilda..
"Hi Po Auntie.. How are you..?"
"It's good, Iha.., my.. you have many visitors.. and flowers.. anyone will envy you.." the old patient is smiling like she is just teasing Mayumi..
"Is that so, Auntie? Yes, maybe because it's still the first day.. that's why.. but for you, Madam.. I can see the joy of your smile.. you seem to need only one visitor, and it will be more than enough.."
"Ah.. Yes.. Frederick has been my friend for a long time.. he is from Manila.. now he came back here.. because he found out that I was confined.."
"You are so happy, Auntie.. get stronger right away please, so you two can enjoy and travel together"
"Thank you, Iha.. I hope so.."
The boys have brought Natasha Home.. and waving good bye to her..
"Brothers.. let's go for a SILOG.. or porridge..." Charles hungrily suggested..
"Yes, brothers.. I'm really hungry too!!!" Henry's excited for the SILOG
"Wait.. what's silog? Porridge I know it.. but I don't eat those.. Ok let me bring you to a restaurant I know.."
"Dude.. you should learn to eat at normal restaurants.., where we normally eat.. we don't have the budget for your restaurants, bro..
"Don't worry.. I'll treat you all.."
"Bro this time, it should be our treat.. it's not good you always spill your money for us.. but for now our budget only allows us on thrift restaurants"
"I already said.. I don't eat there.. I'm not used to it..!"
"Hey.. let it be Charles.. it's hard to force him.."
"Brothers.. I think we can talk better here in the car.. no one can hear.." Richard whispered to them.. "in my opinion.. the woman with the mask wants everything to be a secret.. so let's avoid anyone else finding out.."
"You have a point bro.."
"Is it true bros? tThat all of you have no memories of your childhood..? Like me..?" Everyone quietly nods at Charles.. while he is shocked with the answer..
"What that lady is saying may be true, we all come from the same place.. Richard added and everyone is thinking deep.. trying to recall their past, which they cannot seem to find.. searching any memories lost from childhood.. but nothing is coming up.
"Another thing that bothers me.. is what the lady said.. that Mayumi is just like us and even Red Lightning.., she said that we are six.." Richard added.. and they seem to recall.
"It's true.. that Mayumi also lost her memory.. that we were in the accident together.. even her father died.. along with our parents.." Henry included. "Wait did you all took the acceleration exams.. so you could go back to Grade school..?"
"Yes!" they shouted all at the same time..
"I think it's really is weird.. and the lady has a point.., I think we just need to dig deeper.., you know guys.. my dad acted weird also.. getting mad at me.. he knew something happened to my watch.. and this is making me upset.."
"My mom too.. really wants us to go back to Manila.. she also noticed that I no longer wear the necklace.. so she was also surprised.. and even angrier..."
"Ok guys, let's act more vigilant.. the lady said.. eyes and ears everywhere.. so be careful of what is given to us.. observe.. and because it is also not good to talk about what we have discovered on mobile phones or social media.. we need to meet often in person.. so that we can share the news of our new discoveries.." Richard seriously instructed them, and they are all agreeing.
Meanwhile in the Hospital.. still in the deep of the night.. the doctor of patient Matilda already visited her.
Mayumi overheard them.. Matilda is struggling to stop her tears.. as the doctor is bringing her bad news.. that her body is deteriorating.. and she will not last long.. Matilda cried..
Mayumi just pretended she is asleep and did not heard anything..
The morning came.. and Matilda is all quiet contemplating the words she heard.. Mayumi wanted to encourage her.. brighten her day.. but she cannot find the words to say..
"Auntie.. let's eat our breakfast.." "Yes, thank you my dear.. let's eat"
"Sorry Madam.. my friends sent me a message.. it looks like they're going to be noisy again later.. and they're on their way here.""
"It's ok my dear, I really wanted to hear cheers of youth, teasing and laughters.. I remember my childhood.. my youth.., we are also very happy back then.."
Very playful.. always laughing.. playing and signing around..
"But then things gone differently as time flies.. I focused too much on my career.. how I could grow my wealth.. how I can succeed professionally.. that I forgot the very simple things that could really make you smile.. ..friendship and family.. that I ignored.. my dear.. while you are still young.. make the best of the relationships.. because it's what really matters.."
Mayumi teary eyed.. nod at Matilda..
"Thanks Po Auntie.., all the words you are saying.. is coming from the bottom of your heart.., thank you for that.."
"Oh, please start your meal.. and your soup is getting cold..." Marites exclaimed, trying to stop all their teary eyes..
After their meal.. Mayumi's girl friends led by Ayesha came.. and Mayumi introduced Matilda to them... and she joined them in their talk and fun.. as they listened to her stories and advise..
Marites, informed everyone that she just need to do stuff outside..,
"Mayumi I will be back quickly.. Ladies.. I leave Mayumi to your care.."
Marites was leaving the Hospital building when a big SUV car blocked her way.. and there inside are some of Mayumi's cousins.. and some big strangers..
"Misis Marites.. Come with us first.. everyone's here.. the only one missing is you..." two guys then grabbed her and forced her to join them in the car..
