Chương 12: FOUNDATION FOR ALZHEIMERS

Many cars arrived on the day of the Thanksgiving and launching of the MAKETA TAMASHI FOUNDATION. The reporters of every station, journalists, and TV networks covered the event, attended by some government officials and businessmen.

The food is ready in the sides of the hall, the invited people are busy socializing with the background mellow songs of beautiful singers and performers, an extravagant dinner party. The lights moved and focus on the center stage, the songs slowly stopped, the Master of Ceremonies went to the microphone and called the attention of the visitors and guests.

For the first time, a Christian prayed in the invocation. Then a short message by Pastor Shinji Amara talking about the love exemplified by Jesus Christ for the poor, for the needy, the lost, and those who are in other countries. It ended with a prayer of blessing and they went to the cutting of ribbon in the room of the building in the restaurant where the office of the foundation will start.

Then some handshakes, the Chairman of the foundation, Katsuo Takuma went in the center stage called Ichika and Maketa, and introduce the reason and concept of the foundation to help the poor who are victims of Alzheimer's.

Ichika speaks and why she is thankful. She gave a story of how God blessed them by giving them Maketa, their only child, and how it made their life meaningful by her love and example as a Christian.

Then there is a commotion inside the restaurant at the back of the stage before Maketa is introduced to the public as the only heir of the Takuma empire of business and investments.

Armed men have abducted Maketa, and she was kidnapped. The assailants in a van abducted her.

Katsuo called the gate guard: "Stop the white close van or you will all be fired." The guards then closed the two gates and called for police backup.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guards shoot the van's tires and the driver, killed. When they open the van back door, there is no one there.

Maketa was transferred to another car.

The police arrived, and locked down the roads and gates so no cars could go out and enter, the police helicopter arrived and spotted five people with one being carried forcibly. The pilot alerted the ground troops of the coordinates and focused the helicopter searchlight on the escaping kidnappers. The kidnappers fired at the helicopter. The helicopter moved but some bullets hit the body of the heli. The police in the heli returned fire but did not try to hit them because of the hostage. The ground troops surrounded the area where the kidnappers were last spotted. The snippers are in the rooftops, the police negotiator talked in the megaphone...

" You are surrounded!

In the restaurant, Ichika was crying. Katsuo was busy calling all the police of the update. The visitors were all shocked. They were entertained by the restaurant employees because nobody could go out even the government officers were busy with their phones calling, it is a lockdown.

The army is now involved. It was covered by the TV networks with helicopters. Now, the negotiators called the kidnappers what are their demands.

"We want 100 Million yen, an escape helicopter and the police will back out from the area." The kidnapper said.

Katsuo, Commanded his finance officer to prepare and release one hundred Million Yen for Maketa's ransom and negotiated with police to prioritize Maketa's release and safety.

"Give them their demands! ensure that Maketa is safe! We don't care about the money! She must be saved! Katsuo talked to the Police top officials.

When the police identified the kidnappers, Katsuo has found out one of the kidnappers has a connection with one of his friends. Katsuo then informed the police to investigate the person of interest.

Katsuo was shocked to think that this fake friend, is the one who introduced the physical therapist that takes care of Ichika.

Ichika also thinks that the therapist is a spy of the kidnappers. She told Katsuo to arrest these people to free Maketa.

The police then arrested the fake friends of Katsuo who were at the event, and the kidnappers left Maketa at the last house they were found. The police raided the area with the SWAT team and saved Maketa, blindfolded, handcuffed, and is sleeping because she was drugged.

The kidnappers were traced and all of them fell, two died in the encounter and the three became witnesses against their masterminds who were the jealous friends of Katsuo against Maketa.

Four hours of commotion ended. Then peace.

Katsuo called all the visitors and said, "Let's continue with our Thanksgiving. We should not let evil stop us in helping the needy and the poor."

Everybody clapped and the music started and the food served and everyone has changed from shock to relieved and happy mood...

Maketa was rushed to the hospital but later, she was fine and went back to the party with a new dress. The Takuma family had a family hug, cried and all the visitors cried with them... All had a standing ovation and sing a song in Japanese.

Then some of the wealthy billionaires have committed to donating to the foundation, they were touched by the stories of how Maketa changed their lives in spite of her forgetfulness and Alzheimers.

The foundation will also help the research of drugs, therapy, and what can suspend the deterioration of the brain cells and memory.

Pastor Amara was requested to pray for the blessing of the foundation, the thanksgiving of saving Maketa, and the triumph of good against evil.

After the event, lawyers were sent to prosecute all that are involved in the kidnapping. The lawyers investigate with police the connections, motive of all the suspects, and their specific involvement in the alleged crime.

Maketa forgot what happened, " she asked: "What happened? Why I was sent to the hospital mother when I must be in the venue."

Ichika just answered: "Don't worry dear, all is alright, your kidnappers were all in prison.


Chương 13: THE MEET UP

Ely Yamadachi went to the Philippines to inspect the Tuna Supply from the General Santos City buying station and also to see her daughter.

From the airport, he was fetched by his subordinate executive to go directly to the General Santos Fish Port. He visits the Tuna suppliers, the boats, and the history of their supply. Discussed how to develop the fast transfer of quality fish from the fish port to the airport to Japan plant for further processing or direct distribution to restaurants or to the cannery.

He ate with the executives and talk about work-related issues. Then asked for a car rental. He wants to drive a car to fetch his daughter from school.

Jacky knows that his Dad is already here in General Santos City. She knows that he will call after school hours. She finished her research in English and other projects in Filipino and Math.

"Jacky, I'll go ahead. I know your Dad is coming to fetch you." Juan said hurriedly while getting his books and papers on his Backpack.

" Why in a hurry? Where are you going?" Jacky asked wondering.

" I'll go straight to the boarding house, I just need to be hurry because I need to finish my other project," Juan replied running.

"He can do it here in school, why need to rush?" Jacky thinking.

Broom... A car stopped.

"Dad you are here! She embraced her Dad and introduced him to her classmates who are near... " This is my pogi(handsome), Dad! Mr. Ely Yamadachi.

Her Dad bowed Japanese style. All the girls bowed also in response, they know that's how to greet a Japanese.

"Dad, this is Rose, this is Geraldine, this is Nilda, and this is Meldrid," Jacky pointing to each one of them.

"Where is Juan? Ely whispered.

Jacky blushed.

" Dad... he is already home," Jacky said shyly.

"OK, we will visit his home. Ely whispered.

"What, why?" Jacky enquired holding his Dad in his arm and pulling him as if she wants them to go to the car he drove.

"Bye classmates" Jacky waved.

"Whose car is this Dad? Company car?" Jacky asked.

" No, I rented it. Where is the way? To his apartment?" Her Dad asked.

"Dad it is a boarding house with four students per room. Are you sure you want to see Juan? Why? You make me nervous." Jacky said as she attached the seat belt.

" Why? yes, I have to see my daughter's crush! Ely smiling.

"Dad, you are teasing me" Jacky blushing more.

"No, where is the way? His Dad asked.

Jacky pointed and wondered what is happening. Why would my Dad want to see Juan?

They rode just for a few minutes and they are in front of the boarding house. "You stay here Jacky," Ely said seriously.

Jacky got nervous and blushing more.

"What on earth is happening to my Dad?" She thinks loudly.

Ely approached an old man and asked about Juan. The man pointed and called out, "Juan, someone is looking for you. Come out here for a moment"

Juan replied, Yes Manong(elder).

He did not know who is in front of the door, the man with an eyeglass, in a tie and black suit. "Yes sir, what can I do for you?" Juan asked.

Ely approached him and extended his arm to a handshake. Juan received it and they handshake and nod with each other.

"Can I invite you to eat outside, I want to talk about Martha," Ely whispered, not to let Jacky hear.

"You know my Mom? Are you Jacky's father? Juan surprised.

" I know your Mom. Will you go with me?" Ely asked."

"Ahh... OK, Sir, I will just change for a minute. Juan replied and changed the T-Shirt and went to the car. She did not notice Jacky inside because of the window tint.

While inside, Jacky is more getting uneasy and blushing because Juan is going with his father and she has no idea what is happening.

Ely told Juan to sit in the back seat. He opened the door and Juan entered.

Ely said, "OK let's go."

They went to Roland Steakhouse. Both Juan and Jacky were silent, uneasy because of Jacky's father.

They find a table for four and Jacky sitting near his father while Juan in the opposite of Ely.

Ely told Jacky to take the order. Jacky ordered three Porter House, Medium cooked and three mango juice, and three potato salad as a side dish.

Ely asked Juan, "What's the news about Martha? I heard from Jacky that she was lost in her return to Japan and She has Alzheimer's?"

"Yes sir, that is what Aunt Nancy told Dad" Juan sighed.

"If that is the case, where could she be? do you have the latest picture of her? Ely said.

"Here sir, on her Facebook. This is her last post and she is just one week in Japan with this post." Juan said.

" I miss her. Jacky said.

" I'll take these pictures, I think we can start with this, there are people in Japan who can help us with this. I just hope that she is in kind people who take care of her." Ely said.

" She is lost for about a year now. Hoping and praying." Juan said.

Martha said before, as far as I can remember, " God does not give a challenge or problem to destroy you but to arrange your life to the greater blessings he prepared for your joy" Ely said remembering.

"Nanny said that?" Wow! that's meaningful and full of faith. Jacky said.

"Yes, she quoted a verse in the Holy Book, that is in Romans which says, All things work for good," Ely said.

"Romans 8:28, that is one of her favorite verses and she shares it often," Juan said.

"Juan, focus on your studies, tell me if you need help or assistance anytime... we always as a family owes from Martha the life of Jacky which she saves before.

I will try in all my power and influence to find Martha. Let's trust her God to guide us." Ely said reassuring Juan.

" OK, the food is here, let's eat," Jacky said.

"Let's eat, dig in Juan, you are a family. Ely said.

"Eat, Brother..." Jacky said.

Juan and Jacky laughed.

"Children, Let's pray Martha is safe," Ely said.

They have a little silence as they eat the delicious Porter House steak, Juan's first time to taste an expensive dinner. He thinks that someday, yes, someday I will treat my family in a restaurant like this.

Ely breaks the silence, how's the plan after high school?

" I'm thinking, I will take pre-med course its ether Biology, Chemistry, Nursing or Medical Technology. Nothing final yet I will see what the NSAT(National Secondary Achievement Test) result will be." Jacky told her Dad.

" Your Mom will be happy with that. She is also pre-med. Biology."

"How about you Juan?" Ely asked.

"I will take mechanical engineering" in Mindanao State University...

" That's good, that is in demand even in Japan," Ely replied.

" You can apply for a scholarship in our company, you take the scholarship test, tour in our plant and you need a sponsor to boost your personal character, I can provide you that if you are interested," Ely told Juan encouraging him.

" That is so good of you Sir. Will, it is not a burden to you sir? Juan shyly said.

"Not at all, Juan. Your mother has done so much to us, especially to Jacky. So don't feel ashamed. You are a family. Speaking of family, how's your father, and your brother and your youngest. Martha is telling us inspiring stories about them. I wish I can see them also before I go home?"

Juan did not answer right away.

Jacky look at him and signaled him as if saying "what?"

"You want to go to the farm, sir?"

"Yes, how about you Jacky?" Ely turned to Jacky.

"I want it, Dad! Sure, when?" Jacky replied.

"I will suspend my trip home on Saturday to Monday, I will call your Mom. Let's do it on Friday after class. What you two say?" Ely planning to bring the rented car.

"I feel uncomfortable, but if you insist Sir, I will be obliged," Juan replied.

"Then it's settled," Ely said.

"No, I forgot, we still have a project to submit on Saturday morning. I think we go Saturday morning. Jacky said.

"OK then, Saturday," Ely said.

Juan nodded.

Jacky was so happy, that her Dad reached out to Juan. She is so excited to visit the farm and meet Juan's siblings and father also.

Ely and Jacky fetch Juan to his boarding house and also Jacky to her apartment but he meets with the executive for an emergency meeting about an employee who had a health problem being infected by Hepatitis B. He needs to meet them to help the affected and how to deal with it not to affect the food company.

Juan thanked Ely and Jacky as he went inside. Jacky waved and said, "see you, tomorrow Brother!"

"Why do you call him brother?" That is our secret, I will invite you also on Sunday, Dad." Jacky said.

" Are you in a fraternity or something?" Ely asked.

"No Dad, not that kind, it is a good thing for sure," Jacky said.

"OK...Good night My dear, I will overtime this time." Ely went to the car and went to his meeting.
