COMPLETE THE PUZZLE
"Tokyo will be evening 3 hours from now. Let's go to Tokyo Tower." Ely said.
Juan reading portions of the Wikipedia.
Japan Radio Tower(Tokyo Tower) is a communications and observation tower. At 332.9 meters (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. Over 150 million people have visited the tower in total since its opening in late 1958. Tower attendance had been steadily declining until it bottomed out at 2.3 million in 2000. Since then, attendance has been rising, and it has recently been attracting approximately 3 million visitors per year.
From Ameyoko Center Building they went to Naka-okachimachi train station train ride then switched to another train at Ningyocho station train ride again to Daimon train station then the third train to Akabanebashi train station then they walk to the Tokyo Tower.
They first enjoy the FootTown located in the base of the tower is a 4-story building. The first floor includes the Aquarium Gallery, They like pretty fish, big eels and long-necked turtles, they loved it, They observe and concern a bit about the size of some of the tanks but as they have never kept fish then they have no idea. The fish seemed active and content! And some were totally different from anything they have ever seen. They perceived they feed the sand eels and the spitty fish at 4.30 pm.
There is a reception hall, the 400-person-capacity "Tower Restaurant", a FamilyMart convenience store, and a souvenir shop. This floor's main attractions, however, are the three elevators that serve as a direct ride to the Main Observatory. The second floor is primarily a food and shopping area. In addition to the five standalone restaurants, the second floor's food court consists of four restaurants, including a McDonald's and they ate pizza hurriedly at Pizza-La to see more of what is here.
They see the Guinness World Records Museum Tokyo on the third floor, a museum that houses life-size figures, photo panels and memorabilia depicting interesting records that have been authenticated by the Guinness Book. Paulo enjoyed the Wax Museum, which was opened in 1970, displays wax figures imported from London where they were made. The figures on display range from pop culture icons such as The Beatles to religious figures such as Jesus Christ. A hologram gallery named the Gallery DeLuxe, a lounge, and a few specialty stores are also located on this floor. Paulo also loved the Trick Art Gallery which is located on the building's fourth and final floor. This gallery displays optical illusions, including paintings and objects that visitors can interact with. Paulo gets new ideas and inspiration for painting.
On the roof of the FootTown building is a small amusement park that contains several small rides and hosts live performances for children.
They use the roof to access the tower's outside stairwell. At approximately 660 steps, the stairwell is an alternative to the tower's elevators and leads directly to the Main Observatory.
There is the virtual guide that speaks to you your location based on the tower. Many languages offered! It tells you the history and information at the places you're looking at.
They paid the ¥3000 each for the big tour. It was worth it.
After going to the top by elevator, we come down by walking down the stairs instead of the elevator. It's enjoyable to be "exposed" outside! It feels like you're a part of history!
They went on an extremely clear day and we were able to see all the way to Mt. Fuji.
They watch as the sunset and the darkness takes over, then Tokyo Tower lights illuminated the tower in different colors at night.
It was an amazing experience. They were never able to eat much except the pizza because we really don't want to stop looking at the views. They have stayed for about four hours in this tower before we decided to go home at about nine-thirty in the evening.
In the other hand, Maketa decided instead of two days as what she said that they will meet, she called Emica to set an appointment with Ely Yamadachi and his companions tomorrow. Emica tried to contact Ely but his cellphone is off, his cellphone battery is fully discharged. Emica texted but it was not yet opened by Ely.
They all silently prayed all night to unload the emotions to God until they slept, tired by the tour and the mix emotion of joy and sadness. Ruthie slept in Jacky's room, while Juan, Paulo, and Tony are in the large guest room.
Tok tok tok!
Early in the morning, a knock in the guest room. Tony opened the door, "Good morning!" Tony greeted Ely with a bow.
"Tony, Ms. Emica had several missed calls and a text last night while my cell phone was off and charging. She said that we will meet Maketa Tamashi Takuma this afternoon at 1:00 PM." Ely is saying excitedly.
Everybody wakes up.
"Wow, this is good news. Let's prepare early." Juan said.
Tony called his Secretary that he will not report to the office today. He called His boss and asked for an emergency leave.
Luz also called her office, that she can not report.
Jacky has surgery to observe and participate. She can join later this afternoon.
They all had some exercises in the treadmill and dumbbells of the fitness gym of Ely. Luz served Coffee and made a putomaya and omelets. Everyone is excited. Paulo made some sketches about the tower, Ruthie is practicing what to say and wrap her gift for her mother.
Jacky wishes them that all will go well. She went to the hospital, Juan walked with her to the train station.
"I'm excited and anxious about this meeting. I have prayed last night that this will happen and it is a surprising answer to prayers. God is good!" Jacky said holding his arms.
"All the time!" Juan replied.
At ten o'clock everybody was ready, with their gifts and they are dressed as if to take a family portrait. Ely and Luz were decided that they will use their car.
Maketa in her room was also anxious and can not explain what she feels. She is dressed in her suit and Jacket.
Katsuo called her out, Ichika prepared their breakfast with Vegan Avocado-Tofu Toast, Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl, and adult milk.
"I'm excited about this meeting. We just based this with your intuition. Katsuo will do the investigation while I do is to find out what is your relationship with them. I am just puzzled because they don't claim anything so far that they know you, it just happened that they appeared here?" Ichika said.
"If they know you, why they did not look for you? I mean, if they are for example your family or relatives, what efforts did they do to find you? We will find out soon." Katsuo said.
"Ok, it's eleven o'clock let's go.
Maketa was silent. She does not know what to feel, what to say, or what to do.
Nobody doesn't want to eat their lunch, they are all focussed on this event. They went to the Palace Hotel Tokyo by Ely's 2020 Honda Odyssey 2.4 EX-V Navi CVT, pearl white car.
Katsuo, Ichika, and Maketa arrived in their limousine. Their assistants are tailing them like a VIP.
They have prepared a private but elegant room to do the meetup.

The Yamadachi and Tira are in the hotel lounge sitting anxiously, waiting to be called.
Emica came from the elevator, approached Ely, and after the greetings, they were requested to the elevator going to the 21st floor, which is the office.
They walk to the door, Emica opened it and they stand in awe for the extraordinary office they have seen. They were guided by Emica to the conference room. The table is full of food and hotel staff arranging and doing it's final touch as they were let to sit down in individual chairs. Then Katsuo, Ichika went inside first and greeted them they bow, handshake, and introduce their names.
Then Maketa came inside.
All look at her, at a moment...
The Tira family can not stop their tears from looking at her. They have seen their lost Mother, Wife that it seems she rose from the dead.
They want to embrace her, Tony is already sobbing. Paulo and Juan are robbing his back also in tears.
Ruthie can not be stopped, she runs sobbing, embraced her Mom.
Ely and Luz also are in tears.
Katsuo was infected with the emotions in tears also, tried to speak. " What does this mean?" He said.
Ichika doesn't know what to say.
Maketa did not stop Ruthie. She also embraced her and said, "Do I know you, child?"
Ely in Japanese explained.
"You are Martha..."
"We looked for you for years. Initially, we thought you were already dead. But there was a time that I saw you in a train station but I'm already inside the train, I saw you again in a meeting in a hotel but when I finished you were already gone. During the beauty contest of my child, you were the one who gave her the sash and crown. They have seen you on their cell phones because I video it live, and they are crying in the Philippines because they recognize you in the video. We can not just approach you because of your status now.
"But I don't remember anything," Maketa said.
Jacky entered the room who was called by Luz from school.
"I remember you, the queen of the TMDU beauty pageant, and my doctor," Maketa said.
Jacky embraced her and said, "So you remember this video?"
Jacky opened her cell phone and show the video taken by Ely when she was still a baby.
Maketa ordered Emica to connect it to the TV through the cast screen. They all see, a younger Maketa holding and caring for the baby, and Luz feeding the baby.
In that instant, a flash of memory came back, the hostage drama and Maketa sobbed. "Yes, I remember that."
Jacky said: "That is me! The baby!"
Katsuo and Ichika in tears were so happy that they could find now the lost pieces of the puzzle about their adopted child their only heir, Maketa Tamashi Takuma, who is Martha Tiro.
