WHAT'S IN A NAME
Katsuo meets his lawyers to make a legal move to identify Maketa Tamashi Takuma and Martha Tira as the same person.
"She must be identified as Maketa or Martha for the record refers to the same person," Katsuo said.
The lawyers issued affidavits, and request a court order given the circumstances of Alzheimer's that she was given a name to be identified which were approved legally, now that she is identified from her previous name by her family, so the court was requested to make a statement that Maketa and Martha is the same person, that is the move being done in the process.
In the other hand, The Yamadachi family made their schedules open, Ely formally request a leave of absence for twenty days but are on call as approved by his boss, Luz was not approved but Katsuo called the owner of her company and she was approved but in the bases that she can be called during an emergency. Jacky arranged her schedules with the school as directed by Maketa.
Juan made some visits with the motorcycle manufacturers and ask to be a marketing arm in the Philippines with electric motorcycles in the big bike category and other motorcycles. He has plans to sell and make installment plans for guards to own a big bike.
When they are all in the Takuma Big house as it is called, they are prepared for what will be the plan of Katsuo.
Katsuo was also busy making plans for the introduction of Maketa's family to the Takuma empire of businesses as a celebration for their reunion.
Katsuo arrived.
"Let's go to Tokyo Medical and Dental Hospital. All of you must have an executive check-up first then let's have lunch at Tonkatsu Hamakatsu it's near the hospital.
" Shall we bring cars, sir?" Ely asked.
"No, let's fly there. Let's go!" Katsuo said smiling as if commanding his troops happily.
Takatakatakatak! Takatakatakatak
The sound of rotor blades and engines.
"I want you to meet our pilot, Captain Munakata," Katsuo said.
"Wow! I can ride a helicopter?" Ruthie said in a whisper.
"We are going to my school with this?" Jacky saying to Juan.
"Now I will see my love's school, I'll see if there are many handsome doctors there," Juan whispered teasing Jacky.
Jacky pinches his side. "For me, the most handsome is, who is mine in my heart!"
Everyone who heard did thumps up sign.
Jacky calls Martha(Maketa) as Nanny M. now she calls her Nanay M. Martha loved it.
Juan, Paulo, and Ruthie call her Mama.
Tony call her Love.
Ely and Luz call her Maketa. They prefer her Japanese name.
Katsuo and Ichika call her Maketa.
All the rest call her Madam M.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet." Quote from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Yes, Mother has two names. But she is one and the same to us." Juan said.
Another car arrived. Juan called Joel and informed Katsuo who wants to be called GrandDad that the brother of Jacky will join the ride.
"GrandDad Katsuo, this is Joel the elder son of Ely and Luz and the elder brother of Jacky." Juan introduced Joel.
Joel bowed and said their Japanese greetings.
Katsuo bowed and made a handshake and said come aboard.
They went inside the helicopter.
They flew to the hospital. The helicopter landed in the roof helipad.
They all went down and they went to the executive check-up desk. Jacky guided them in the process. Katsuo insisted that Jacky will also undergo the executive checkup.
Ichika knows that Katsuo is preparing them for an important preparation for the future.
Only Katsuo, Ichika, and Maketa were the ones who did not take the executive checkup, they just had a recent check-up.
It is a whole day check-up. During the lunch break, the hospital cars bring them to the Tonkatsu Hamakatsu, just near the hospital, pass the river Kanda beside the Ringer Hut restaurant.
Tonkatsu is a fried-pork cutlet. It has crispy shards that cover all of the juicy meats, served with crunchy cabbage, sour pickles, and choice of misos and choice of rice. Mix and grind sesame seeds with your choice of mild or spicy sauce. They enjoyed the food.
"What do you do Joel? I think Jacky mentioned that you are in the military?" Katsuo asked.
"Yes sir, I'm in the anti-terrorist special forces," Joel said.
"That's good to know," Katsuo said.
"He was the hero of the US embassy terror attack," Juan said.
"Hey, are you the guy that was featured on the TV? Yes, I can see your profile. They just cover the full face, I believe for your safety and security. Wow! You are good. But it could have caused your death. I salute you" Katsuo said.
"I'm proud of our heroes here in Japan, and it's an honor to have you and be part of our family. Ichika said proudly.
After their lunch, the hospital cars, fetch them to finish their executive checkup. They are treated like VIPs. Jacky feels the strange feeling of how to be treated as VIP from being a student in this university hospital.
Jacky was checked by some of her professors. Her professors treat her differently now. She just smiles and greets them with respect as a student, she does not want to be treated as a special patient but the professor/doctors insisted because they don't want to offend their bosses Katsuo and Maketa.
After the Checkup, the helicopter landed at Asaka Shouting Range, Oizumigakuencho, Nerima-ku, Tokyo
Katsuo asks Joel to lecture on gun basics and Juan was asked to assist in the demonstration of techniques in maneuver and gun techniques.
They tried the 9mm and .45 Cal pistols. All of them were shooting. They also used the M4, the Uzi, and lastly the Sniper rifles.
At first, they feel nervous but as they had shot about 1,000 bullets, they had been accustomed to it and the feel gives confidence that on an emergency that their lives be in danger, they can defend themselves in the case and that is the objective of Katsuo.
" This makes me scared at first but now I feel addicted to shooting," Ruthie said.
End of the afternoon, the helicopter was ordered to land near the tower.
Nearly evening, they spent it watching the beauty of
the city from above, which at night becomes an endless carpet of lights and colors.
They went to the elegant Tokyo Sky Tree, with its 634 meters height, which is lighted with hundreds of pattern combinations and colors, becoming the symbol of Tokyo.
With respect to the red Tokyo Tower which they had visited already, the higher Sky Tree offers a 360° view along with shopping experience inside the Tokyo Solamachi Mall that stands at its feet.
Follow the directions to Tokyo Sky Tree exit to reach the ground floor (1F) and begin your exploration inside this fresh looking Solamachi shopping center: use this floor guide to reach your favorite shop.
On East Yard 1F, they visit Shotengai Shopping Street, a long gallery of 35 small food shops that resembles a street of Edo period. They tried one of the many treats and snacks that will be offered by kind orders, eat a slice of fluffy cheesecake at the famous Cheese Garden Little pastry shop, and buy delicious Tokyo Banana at "The First Tree".
They step out onto Solamachi Square to take pictures of the fully lit tower from below and they check out the Sky Tree Shop to buy souvenirs of the evening.
On the opposite side of the Shopping Street, Juan and Jacky take escalators at Solami Zaka Square (you can reach it through the romantic walkway along Sumida river) to reach Ghibli Store, where Tororo greets inside his scenic shop.
They gather from Zaka square they access the 4F East Yard by escalators and start their first shopping among souvenirs and gadgets at Pokemon Center, at Nano Block store while Ruthie, Jacky, and Martha went to the Japanese fashion clothes at 2F & 3F. Solami Zaka Square overlooks the main entrance of Tokyo Sky Tree. They buy their ticket, they take one of the four elevators (every elevator resembles a season) and reach the panoramic deck in just 50 seconds!
They enjoyed a breathtaking view of Tokyo at night, from the Sumida River with its illuminated bridges to the bright red Tokyo Tower.
The Tower last entrance is at 21, but the tower is open until 22. To call the day, they had dinner at one of the many delicious restaurants on Solamachi's 6F, like Rokurinsha, the tsukemen heaven!
"Tsukemen is a ramen dish in Japanese cuisine consisting of noodles which are eaten after being dipped in a separate bowl of soup or broth," Ichika said reading from her cell phone.
As they were eating, Maketa asked Tony about Rose.
"Rose Zabala is a classmate and close friend of Jacky and Juan. I and Ely recommended your foundation to ask for help because Rose mother was also an Alzheimer's victim and died already. Rose wants to help children with Alzheimer's and she heard about the neighbor of our employee had a problem with his studies because of her mother who had an Alzheimer's, so when we see you in the video during the pageant, we research about you and with the help of the Yamadachi family, we made the request of Rose to reach you, that's why we are here to confirm that it is really you or just a similar face with a different name." Tony explained.
