MEMORY MAY FAIL BUT LOVE MAY NOT

Maketa is making efforts to allocate funds of the foundation to make the Philippine branch start. He accepted the appointment of Ely Yamadachi to meet him, to facilitate the foundation's preparation.

Maketa instructed Emica, her personal assistant, and executive secretary to meet Ely and his group first because she may be late. She needs to talk to her father Katsuo regarding the fund allocation that will be presented to the board.

As scheduled they will meet at the Palace Hotel Tokyo Busines Center two hours from now. Ely suggested that they will walk so they can see the way of going there and see some beautiful sights in Tokyo. They can reach the hotel by one o'clock then.

Everyone agreed.

They start walking at Gaien Higashi-dori street then passed Azabu Elementary School, Nicholas Pizza House, Uchibori-dori Street. They toured the Imperial Palace, Kokyo Gaien National Garden, Wadakura Fountain Park, then they arrived at the Palace Hotel Tokyo almost two hours of slow walking and sightseeing.

The Tira family is excited and scared of what will happen when they meet. Will Martha recognize them? Will she accept them? What if she doesn't? Many questions in their minds.

Now they are here. Ely said this is the best hotel in Tokyo, the most expensive and luxurious one.

They went in and Ms. Emica greeted them and guide them to the Business Center.

Emica ordered Caffe Latte for each of them and Mineral Water.

Ma'am Maketa will arrive later. She instructed me to initially talk about the possibility of helping the Alzheimer's victims in the Philippines.

These are the lists of documents she is asking.

Juan, Ruthie, and Paulo toured the Palace Hotel Tokyo. They see the beautiful Ballroom, They look at Banquet hall, they sat in its cozy chairs, read and peek at all the newspapers in the lobby, they ask questions about the hotel in the front desk, and bought some souvenirs in the gift shop they also explore in the Grocery and convenience store, they waited to be called from the Reception Hall.

Maketa arrived and see them from the adjacent room and her heart raced as she observed them. She can not remember them, but she feels who are these people why she felt she know them but where and who are they, she can not remember. Are they my enemies? Am I afraid of them?

She decided not to meet them yet, instead, she went to the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital for a check-up because her blood pressure went up due to mixed emotions that she doesn't know why. It just happened that Jacky was assigned by her professor to take her blood pressure using the sphygmomanometer. Jacky then went in and get her blood pressure, she is lying in the bed, she did not recognize her. After she noted the values, 150/90 she wrote it in the paper and she glances her name, Maketa Tamashi Takuma. She sits again beside her and touched her hand. Maketa opened her eyes and she looked at her. "I recognize you, you are that beautiful queen of the school, am I right?"

Jacky nodded.

"Thanks for taking care of me. How is my blood pressure? I have seen people in the hotel today that my heart reacted and I can not understand but I don't recognize them or remember if I know them. I just don't feel comfortable." Maketa said.

"Then I suggest that you try to know them Maam, maybe you know them," Jacky said.

"Ma'am, can I talk to you when you're free? I'm Jacky Yamadachi, this is my number(she gave her a piece of paper), you may call me anytime you have questions about your health for free." Jacky said while preparing for another patient to see for her rounds.

Jacky video called Juan.

"Juan, your mother is here in the hospital because her blood pressure went up. She said she has seen people that her heart race but she does not know them, that's the reason her blood pressure went up a bit. Did she see you there?" Jacky asked.

"I don't know? I did not see her here." Juan replied.

After for a while, Emica informed them that Maketa was in the hospital for a check-up so their meeting was rescheduled after two days.

They were offered dinner but Tony said they will just be back after two days.

"Can I ask for the foundation papers and contact information? Tony asked.

"Yes, I will print a brochure we usually give for our sponsors," Erica said.

Emica take a picture of them and gave the printed brochure. They then get out of the hotel.

They walked to the Hotoria Square sad and see the birds in the birdhouses, they find a square to sit.

Jacky arrived called by Ely.

She felt the sad emotion in the air. She is sad too.

She went to Juan and sit beside him.

"I was the one that takes her BP. I talked to her. Here, I secretly steal a photo of her." Jacky let Juan see the picture.

Tony, Ruthie, Paulo went near Juan and they look at the picture on the cell phone.

Tears flowing from their eyes as they see their Mom laying in the hospital bed.

They can't stop but sobbing and crying as if somebody died.

Ely and Jacky also with tears try to comfort them, Jacky embraces Juan and pats his back.

Maketa on the other hand talks to his father Katsuo regarding the incident in the hotel. Her mother Ichika convinced her to see them.

"Ok, we will invite them for dinner at your office. as you said after two days, then let's see. Who knows they know something about you." Ichika said.

"I agree, Maketa, who knows this is the opportunity to know your past life and we can help them. Always remember no matter what is in the past, our love for you as our true child will never change." Katsuo said.

Luz arrived and see them all silent and sad. But when Juan sees her, he gets the hands of Luz and puts it in his forehead. And all the children including Jacky did like Juan, a sign of Filipino respect.

"Ok, I invite you all, let's go to Ameyoko Center, let's eat and shop. Let's buy something for Martha. Let's pray that we can finally meet her this Friday." Luz said smiling.

Ely and Jacky agreed.

They walk for ten minutes from Hotoria Plaza to Takebashi train station. They arrived at Nihombashi station. They drink some soda from an automatic kiosk that you just insert money and punch in the switch of your desired drink. Then they transferred to a new train going to Ueno-hirokoji station.

"You know it's about a year already I think that we went here again. I'm thankful for your visit, we are touring our city again with new memories." Luz said.

They arrived at Ameyoko.

"Our game today is to find an object that we will buy individually that will remind you personally of Nanny Martha." Jacky trying to change the mood.

"Game! Paulo said.

They start to shop and window shop the amazing stores of Ameyoko.

They spread out Ruthie and Paulo partnered.

Ruthie excitedly pulls Paulo to enter Niki no Kashi. They see the 1st and 2nd floors are stacked with an impressive array of candy and snacks, and also region-specific snacks such as Kit Kats from different regions throughout Japan can all be bought in this one spot.

Ely said "The owner is happy and satisfied with the organic fruits from the Philippines. He will order for more and was happy that he met the owner of the Goldenfruits Inc. The fruits have helped his business grow." Ely interpreted the Japanese owner's story.

Maketa was resting in her room. She ponders why she felt that way of seeing the man and the adult children.

"I can never remember them. Lord if they are related to me please let me know it in a way that I will be convinced that they are the one. I don't want to be hurt or hurt Katsuo and Ichika.

"I will investigate their lives in advance. I want to know in what way they are related to me. Are they my friends, relatives, classmate, workmate, or enemy, etc. I must know." Maketa said.

She called Emica to come to her room.

Emica bowing.

"Bring me the files that you get from the meeting," Maketa said.

Emica brought her the folder and went out.

She looked at it, she read every detail, but she can't remember anything related to her. In the back of the papers, she gets the picture printed by Emica from her cell phone.

"She looked at it and her mind can't remember but her heart is somewhat missing them, that tears roll in her eyes when she saw Ruthie. When she sees Paulo, she cried. My mind may forget them but my heart knows them.

" Please Lord if these people are important to me then, reveal it in a way that I can convince my failing mind." Makita crying.
