lamang si Maria kay Juanito. Laking pasasalamat niya sa kabutihan ng binata. Nagagalak siyang nakilala nito ang kapatid niyang si Carmelita sapagkat batid niyang tapat ito sa kapatid at handa itong gawin ang kahit na ano pa para rito.
"Maraming salamat sa pag aalala Ginoong Juanito" pasasalamat niya . "Kung nais niyo nang mag pahinga, maaari niyo akong tawagin at ako na ang mag aalaga sa kaniya" aniya atsaka tumingin sa kaniyang kapatid, nginitian niya ito ng tila nanunukso.
Walang mga katulong sa kanilang tahanan ngayon, matapos ang napakaraming kaguluhan na nangyari. Si Theresita naman ay kinakailangan ring magpahinga sapagkat nagkasakit ito matapos silang tumakas sa ilalim ng malakas na buhos ng ulan noong nakaraang araw.
"Ayos lamang ako, maraming salamat sa pag aalala" tumingin si Juanito kay Carmela "Ako na ang bahala sa kaniya, nais ko ring makasama ang binibini, matagal na rin nang huli kaming magkasama ng maayos." wika nito sabay ngiti sa dalaga.
Tama ang binata, ilang araw na rin ang nakalipas nang nagkasama sila ng kasintahan at nagkausap ng maayos kung kaya't labis ang saya niya nang hindi niya akalaing magkikita pa pala sila matapos ng lahat ng nangyari.
"Salamat muli ginoo mauuna na ako" paalam ni Maria at isinirado na ang pintuan ng silid ng kapatid.
Mag iika-anim na ng gabi, tanging ang ilaw na lamang na nagmumula sa gasera ang nag bibigay liwanag sa apat na sulok ng kwarto.
Bumaba muna si Juanito upang kumuha ng maiinom ni Carmela.
Habang hinihintay ang binata ay madaming tanong ang bumalot sa isipan ng dalaga. Mag mula sa hindi niya pag alis sa panahong ito noong araw na nasa ilalim sila ng Arch of Centuries hanggang sa pag payag ng ama niya na manatili sila Juanito at Angelito sa kanilang tahanan.
Napag alaman rin ng dalaga na noong araw na mawalan siya ng malay sa kalagitnaan ng kaguluhan ay dinala siya ng mga ito sa pagamutan, pampubliko lamang iyon kung kaya't kulang ito sa mga kagamitan at mga doktor.

Laking pasasalamat nila ng bago mag takip silim ay naging maayos na ang kalagayan ni Carmela. Ayon sa doktor niya ay maari na rin siyang maiuwi sa kanilang tahanan at doon ay mabantayan ni Ginoong Juanito na malapit na rin namang maging isang ganap na doktor.
Pumayag rin sila na iuwi na siya sapagkat kulang nga ang mga doktor sa pagamutang iyon, hindi matutukan ng mga ito si Carmela sapagkat marami ring sugatan at nag aagaw buhay na mga rebelde at guardia civil ang nangangailangan ng atensyon.
Pansamantalang pinatuloy ni Don Alejandro sina Juanito at Angelito sa kanila upang mabantayan pa siya.
Nanggaling na din sa kwarto niya ang kaniyang ama kanina. Pinaki tunguhan nito si Juanito katulad noong mga panahong masaya at maayos pa ang samahan ng pamilya Montecarlos at Alfonso at ang panahon kung saan wala pang nasasawing mga buhay.
Sa kalagitnaan ng kaniyang pagninilay-nilay ay bigla na lamang pumasok sa kaniyang isipan ang huling mga sinabi ni Juanito bago siya mawalan ng malay noong nakaraang araw.
"Carmela"
"I-Ikaw...si...Carmela"
"Ma-Mahal Kita...Carmela"
Nasapo niya ang kaniyang bibig at halos mabaliw ang puso niyang nag uunahan na sa pag tibok ngayon, nahihirapan siyang makahinga ng dahil dito.
Imposible.
Tinawag ba siya ni Juanito ng Carmela sa kadahilanang ang pagkakaalam nito ay may dalawa siyang pagkatao? Si Carmelita sa harap ng kaniyang pamilya at si Carmela naman kapag kasama niya ang binata.
"Maaring iyon lamang ang kaniyang ibig na sabihin sa akin"
Paulit ulit niyang pagpipilit sa kaniyang sarili.
"Tama Carmela, yun nga iyon wala ng ibang ibig sabihin, final na" patuloy niya pang pangungumbinsi sa isip niya.
Ngunit bakit parang may ibang sinasabi ang kaniyang puso? May parte sa kaniya na sana ay batid nito ang katotohanan.
"Baka malusaw at bumagsak sa 'yo ang kisame sa katititig mo riyan" panunudyo ng binata nang makapasok ito sa loob ng silid.

Napatingin siya rito. Pinipilit nitong pigilan ang pagtawanan siya. Hindi niya naman ito magawang sungitan dahil na miss niya ng sobra ang mga ngiti nito.
Isinarado na ni Juanito ang pintuan ng kaniyang silid, may hawak itong isang baso ng tubig at isa pang bagay na hindi niya maaninag dahil madilim ang loob ng silid.
"Inumin mo iyan batid kong nauuhaw ka na" ngumiti ito "Malamig iyan kanina kung kaya't hinintay ko muna itong maging normal ang temperatura. Hindi ka pa maaaring uminom ng malamig hangga't hindi pa bumababa ang iyong lagnat."
Hindi niya mapigilan ang pagguhit ng ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi. Kaya pala ang tagal nito dahil inasikaso nito ang kaniyang inumin.
"S-Salamat" nahihiya niyang saad.
Nang inumin niya na ang kalahating tubig sa baso ay inilapag niya na ito sa mesa sa gilid ng kaniyang higaan.
Umupo si Juanito sa kaniyang kama dahilan upang bumilis na naman ang pag tibok ng kaniyang puso. Na miss niya ang amoy ng pabango nito na ngayon ay maayos niyang naaamoy dahil nasa tabi niya lamang ang binata.
Inabot nito sa kanya ang hawak nito kanina.
Agad na nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata nang makita niya ang bagay na nasa harapan niya ngayon....

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
