CXXXVII. Flashbacks Unrecognized
After being warned about Marika’s nature, Oneil was careful on dealing with her as he follows Mr. Angeles on their goals to talk to Captain Arturo. In the hint of the good times, Oneil was relieved to find out that Marika is not in Captain Arturo’s house.
The captain of the barangay and Mr. Angeles are talking in the sala. Oneil confidently responds to their questions and supplies other statements needed in the discussion. But Oneil only kept it to himself on how he noticed the gazes of the captain and his wife towards him. It is as if they saw an unproven ghost. Even Captain Arturo’s wife intended to slow down her movements to allow herself to get a better view on how the Riley they knew looks different now.

Because of the restoration of his memory, Oneil could have a hint that Mr. Antares has something to do with this attack. It is time now to address those who had tried trampling them down. But at the sight of Essi and on how she gently taps and wipes his skin with a wet cloth, he couldn’t stop the strong calmness in him. Her peaceful face, the sigh of relief, makes him want to rather protect her more than to leave out and chase the culprit but making him look away from his love. He would not wish to spoil this moment or the days to come when it is Essi's loving countenance that waits for him to wake up. "How are you feeling?" Oneil asked almost like a whisper. He carefully held her left hand too. It must be a joy out of his sitting sheer jealousy that Essi doesn't wear any wristwatch today.

He went on letting her tell how fast had the news arrived to her since Niana was also concerned for Oneil’s situation. Jillian continued talking while arranging the foods she brought. Oneil suddenly got alarmed when Jillian decided to take off the flowers from the vase to chang it with the new ones.“Where are you going to put that?” Oneil stopped her.“I must throw this away. I have new ones here.”Oneil gestured for her to put it back. “Just let that sit there. Don’t touch the vase.” It was Essi’s flowers for him. Chrysanthemums, carnations and peonies beautifully combined to bring colors to his room.“How about these new flowers?” Jillia asked. She also picked almost the same variations
