Epilogue
Uhaw,
General Santos City , Philippines
It was just a normal day at Cyber Net café in the dusty and remote place of Uhaw. It is hot outside, and it seems like hell at 9 am in the morning.
Hazel, the attendant of the café, was busy chatting instead of attending to her customers. Computer 1 was occupied of the nerdy guy Danrev. He was busy doing research for his feasibility study. Computer 2 was occupied of the game addict, Shalexia and the headphone she was wearing was so loud with the sounds of bangs and booms from the game she was playing. Computer 3 was occupied of the blooming girl, Lizzie, who was chatting with his bf from
Davao and listening to the latest hit in the pop chart. Computer 4 was occupied of the misfit and outcast, West, who was thoroughly reading the profile of the World’s Wanted Terrorist for her reaction paper in Sociology. Computer 5 was occupied of the daydreamer, Fritzy. He was browsing photos of the rich and famous people in the world. Everyone was quite. The café’s aircon was not working well, and the hotness outside was getting inside the café.
“Ringgg!!!!” the café’s telephone rang. Hazel did not give a damn. It rang twice, thrice, the fourth time, she answered.
“Hello,” she answered lazily.” Yes…No…Sorry, wrong number…No….Sorry, I do not know…Yes…What?… No!!!…We do not sell coffins here…. Wrong number, ok? Bye!!!” she slammed the phone.
“My God, that was the fifty second time this café was mistaken for a funeral parlor. I am a café attendant, not an embalmer, hello!!!” Hazel normally talks to herself, especially during times like this that she seemed alone. What conversation she can get with this 5 ghosts in front of her.
“Oh God, How I wish you save me from this Hell. Make some miracle. Please, I am tired of my life.” she said it in a whisper and sighed.
Hazel went back chatting.
Hazel did not notice that in the glass window at her back the sky outside suddenly turned dark. The wind went cold. The sun was covered by the dark sky. The five customers were also too busy to notice the phenomenon. In few seconds, it is totally dark outside, almost like evening. Then the connection of the internet went off. The five customers turned to Hazel. But they saw her staring outside, seemed shock.
“What’s wrong?” Shalexia asked.
“Sshhh…something is happening.” Hazel answered but still her eyes looking through the glass window.
The five customers were just looking at her. Hazel suddenly stood. She turned to the five customers and spoke,” Live your life, Live it to the fullest, and live…Live…Live”. Hazel seemed hypnotized, she went to the door, opened it and went outside. The door closed. Hazzel was already outside. The five customers saw her through the glass window walking until she vanished in their sight.
“What’s that?” Fritzy asked.
“She’s nuts.” West answered.
“Oh Lord, look at this. Something is happening in my monitor.” Danrev was shock of what he saw.
The 5 computer monitors looked like a deep hole, an abyss. The five people in the cafe were staring in their own monitors.
“I feel like the computer is pulling me.” Lizzie cried.
“Yes, same here, and I can’t move, there’s like a force trying to pull me.” Danrev was trying to stand.
“Guys, Heeeelppp!!!” Lizzie’s face went inside the monitor then next her body, until she was fully swallowed by the abyss, then she was gone. The computer pulled her inside. Lizzie was gone in the very eyes of the 4 shocked customers.
Before they could speak, Danrev was pulled, then Shalexia, next is West, then Fritzy. The five customers were eaten by their computers.
Waking up
Global Hotels
The suite was a high class. The two couples in the bed were both naked covered with the silky blanket. The guy went to kiss the lady in the cheek. He stroked her curly hair. She looks so innocent when she is sleeping. The lady slowly opened her eyes. She stared at him.
“Good morning Sweetheart,” he smiled at her.
She stared in shock, closed her eyes, and then opened it again.
“I am dreaming, am I not?” she said.
“No Baby, did you have a nice sleep?” he answered.
She looked inside the blanket. She is naked.
“What’s wrong honey? Are you feeling cold? Do I have to turn off the aircon?” the guy wondered.
The lady suddenly punched the guy in between the forehead and the nose. He lost consciousness at that very moment. She stood, covered her naked body with the blanket. She opened the door, and ran to the elevator, wearing only the blanket. She was shaking. But before she came out from the elevator, she collapsed.
The lady woke up again seeing the face of the same guy she was with a while ago in the hotel room. When she gained her consciousness back, she saw another 2 guys together with the guy. She was sitting on a chair, and she was already wearing a sleeping gown.
“Who are you?” She cried. She jumped out, but she can not move, her body was tied.
“Honey, what’s wrong? I am Melvin, your husband. And this is the hotel’s physician and the manager of the hotel, baby. Somebody saw you lying naked inside the elevator.” the guy answered. She noticed that his forehead was plastered.
She could not believe of what she heard. She kept silent. These guys must have a plan; maybe they kidnapped her or will rape her or maybe already did. Her head was still aching. She could not think right and she was tied. At the back of the guy that saying he is her husband, she saw the tv screen. A familiar face appeared in the picture.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” the guy asked her.
“It seems, sir, that Madame want to watch TV,” the doctor guy answered.
The husband guy put the TV’s volume louder. Now she could hear. The familiar face was talking.
“…I-I am surprised, yes, I am surprised with all of these.” the guy said.
“Doctor Rosete, how does it feel now that you have invented the one of the most important invention of the century?” the reporter on tv asked the guy.
“ I – I am happy…and yes, I am happy.” the guy answered, but seemed unsure.
“You recognize her sweetheart?” the husband guy asked her, he went to her chair and bend to kneel in front of her.
“Yes!” she answered.
“Yes? You recognize Dr. Danrev Rosete? But how come you do not recognize me, honey?” the guy seemed to cry.
“Doctor? He is a doctor?” she asked him.
“Yes, a very famous inventor and scientist.” The husband guy answered.
She looked again on the television, the familiar guy, Danrev, was surrounded by press, interviewing him, but she noticed in his face, they share the same emotion, they were both shock.
The three guys made a distance from her. They were whispering. Then the manager guy went to the door, he is about to leave. He looked at her and gave her a half smile, then went out. The doctor guy and the husband guy were talking. The husband guy went to the table near the bed and took a newspaper. He went to her and put it in her lap.
“Sweetie, Doctor Santos here, thinks you have a lapse of memory. The reason? We don’t know yet. You seemed normal yesterday and last night until just this morning when you woke up and punched me. He is asking you to read this. Maybe this would help. He wants to know if you will remember something out from what is happening today. Just try to read hon, it will not hurt. Maybe this would help.” the husband guy handed her the newspaper.
She read the headlines of the newspaper. “THE HEIR OF GOLDS AND THE HEIRESS OF GUNS”.
She was shock of the two photos she was seeing in the paper, the guy in computer 5 and the girl in Computer 4. She read the article with her eyes.
“Sweetie, you have to read it, loud” the husband guy said.
She continued reading it, but now she is uttering it. “….Today’s famous heirs, Fritzy Mossimo and West Al Fanji have different worlds, but they share the same legacy. The legacy of their parents’ wealth and dilemmas. Fritzy, heir of the Mossimo Chains of Hotels, and West, heiress of the Al Fanji terrorists group.”
She paused.
She turned her head on the tv. She did not know why, but it seems someone want her to look at the TV again. She was watching a music video. But her eyes went big when she saw another familiar face. The girl in computer 3, singing and dancing.
“Madame Shalexia, you recognized her?” the doctor guy asked.
Shalexia was stunned. Now she remembered what happened. The 5 of them were pulled and eaten by the computers in the café. And she woke up, realizing she is married with a complete stranger, and she was naked in bed with him. And the other 4 customers she was with were in the TVs and the papers. It seemed the 4 of them became suddenly famous.
“Am I also famous?” Shalexia whispered, she did not know why she said that.
“What did you say Madame?” the doctor guy asked her.
“Am I also famous?” she said it louder now.
She looked at the husband guy, he was smiling. He let the doctor answered.
“Yes Madame, you are one of the most celebrated wives in the world. You are married to one of the richest guy in the business industry. You are married to Melvin Sarvino, this guy beside you and the one you punched this morning. But do not feel bad madame, I can see he loves you so much” The doctor guy answered.
Shalexia was shocked. But she kept calm. She is only dreaming.
“I remember now, at least some of it, you are right doctor, I am having a lapse of memory. You may untie me now.” Shalexia said.
Her husband untied her.
“I am sorry I punched you,” she said to him.
She stood and went to the window of the room. She opened the curtain, she saw the view outside. The place was unfamiliar.
“Where are we?” Shalexia asked.
“We are in one of the hotels here in
Toronto sweetie,
Toronto , Canada .” Melvin answered.
Canada ??? Shalexia was shocked! She was thousands miles away from home. She was eaten by a computer, woke up with a stranger, and now she is far away from home. She felt dizzy and lost her consciousness again. Melvin went panicky when she saw she dropped on the floor.
