Present time, Jakarta, Indonesia…
The whole market has been sealed. People are gathering around the central plaza where the active bomb is placed. It is actually placed in a motorcycle. An army soldier of bomb diffusing department of Indonesian army is desperately trying to inactivate the bomb.
Michael: Sub Commander Jack! What do you think? Can you diffuse it?
Jack: No! No matter how much I try, I cannot find the receiver. X-Ray results also can't show anything! What about Major Sam?
Michael: No news from him. I think we should clear the whole market in case.
Jack: Hmmm… Do that. And also try to reach major continuously.
Jack< Where are you in this situation major! We need you. Only you can save us now.>
In that moment, when all the public around the area are panicking and in constant fear, a piercing sound of a bullet motorbike is heard. A young man in his thirties is riding the bike. He is in the army attire. He stops the bike in front of the patrol army jeep and walks through the gathering. Jack looks behind him and immediately his expression changes. He has an expression of hope in his face. That guy smirks at Jack.
"Looks like you all can't do anything without me. What a useless team I have!"
Jack: Where have you been, Major Sam?
Sam: Who knows! So what is the situation?
Michael: We can't understand anything sir. On the out, looks like GGO server with the switch. But we can't locate the receiver. X-Ray report is also showing nothing!
Sam: Okay, good job. You all fall back. I will handle it now.
Jack: Yes sir!
Sam bends down in front of the bomb and starts playing with it, like it is some kind of toy.
A newly recruited member of the team hurriedly tries to run towards Sam but gets blocked by Michael.
Michael: What are you doing, new kiddo? Did you not hear major's command?
"No sir! Don't get me wrong. Major has forgotten his bomb suit. It is dangerous. So I was just trying to give him the suit."
Michael: What is your name?
"Ron Hensley, sir!"
Michael: Oh! So Ron, you don't have to bring it to him. Cause, he will not wear it.
Ron: But sir!
Michael: Just wait and watch!
Sam is handing the bomb circuits so delicately as if he is playing some string instrument. What a calm and peaceful expression he has in his face. But his eyes are showing a thrilling excitement.
Ron: Sir! Is he the same major Sam Brook who has the most record of bomb diffuses in world?
Michael: Yep, it is him! 97 bombs in total only in his thirties. It is his 98th bomb. He just hugs the bombs as if he is hugging his own girlfriend.
Ron: Sir, is that why everyone calls him "The Man Who Cannot Die"?
Jack: Yeah! You know what, everyone will eventually die someday. He will die too. But I have never seen the fear of death in his eyes. He is a man I truly respect.
Sam slowly analyses the circuit and cuts a yellow threat.
Sam: Jack, Michael! Come here.
"See! The receiver was hidden in the RDX and it was well hidden by lead metal."
Jack: So that is why X-Ray can't detect it!
Sam: Correct! Now open the market. I have two days off , so I am going to the mountains area for refreshment. Call me if anything happens.
Michael: Okay sir!
Sam walks towards his bike. Then with the piercing sound, he lefts the area. Cutting through the cold air, his bike speeds in the wavy mountain road. Usually after defeating a bomb, any man will have a satisfactory victory smile on their face. But every time Sam survives, no one knows why, he always has a disappointed sad expression. Like, he was actually trying to die in that place. Sam stops his bike beside a lake and sets his camp there. The night passes and the dawn follows it. Sam comes out of the tent and sits beside the camp fire. He is just staring the vast mountain range when he notices a very young lady in her tracksuit comes jogging towards a large bolder of stone opposite side of the lake. Then she hurriedly climbs the bolder. Suddenly, she unzips her suit. Her pale body in the swimsuit can be seen from far. Sam is watching everything silently. Then the lady suddenly jumps into cold lake water. Sam is shocked. In this cold December, is she trying to swim? He can't think anything.
"Help! Please help me! I can't swim! I am dying!"
Sam< If you don't know how to swim, who told you to do such bravery?>
Sam notices a camera has been set up on the bank of the lake.
" Help me ! I am choking!"
Suddenly the lady can't be seen in the water surface.
Sam jumps into the bone shivering cold water. Holding the lady in his one arm, he comes out of the water. He lays the girl on her back and tilts her chin and head backwards to help clear her airway. The girl coughs and slowly opens her eyes. She is shivering badly from cold. Sam raps his coat around her and brings a cup of hot tea, he was brewing for him. The lady takes the cup angrily from him.
"Are you mad? What were you thinking? I could have died! I cried loud for help but you just stared at me like it's none of your business! "
Sam stays silent.
" Why are you silent? You are wearing army attire, so must be a soldier. Don't you all take an oath that you will take priority of a citizen's life over your own life! Where was that?"
Sam slowly packs his luggage and walks towards his bike. He does not utter a single word.
"Hey! Are you mute? I was only a step away from losing my life. Are you even listening!"
She glares behind her. She can't believe this. Sam starts his bike and lefts her there.
"I can't believe this! He just left me behind here like this? I will not forget you , fish head!"
The lady stands up after resting a bit. Then with a bright smile in her face, she runs towards the camera.
After tiding herself up, she leaves the place and goes to Miran International hotel.
In the lobby of the hotel…
"Wow! My god!"
"What the hell! Akira, are you mad?"
"Akira! I can't believe you actually did it!"
Akira: Just pay up guys! You all lost the bet!
"My god! I am going to bankrupt because of you! This is the fifth time in this week. For once, you never stopped to complete the dare."
Akira: Stop you guys. After two days, you all will be in London discovery office and I will be stacked in this old, boring city. And then, you all will miss me and think that you all should have given all of your money to this poor, little girl.
"To tell you the truth, I am actually thanking god that I can now save my tail from the hands of you, the demon. You actually suck our money exactly like a vampire."
Akira: Who told you to make a bet with me? I was not forcing you guys to make a bet!
"Who will think that in this cold December weather, you will actually jump into a lake and exactly when you don't know a single thing about swimming!"
Akira: And that is why, you all should give me some extra money!
"Hey you guys stop whatever you are doing! Boss is coming this way!"
Akira: Good morning Ms. Emily.
Emily: Yeah! Listen you all, today is my day off. So I don't want to see any of your faces here. But tomorrow I want all of your bony asses back here at 7 o'clock.
"Yes captain!"
Saying after that Emily walks towards the entrance gate. Akira follows her.
Akira: Captain! Please wait!
Emily: Yes Ms. Akira.
Akira: Captain! Did you think about taking me with you in London?
Emily: Yes! I did. But the answer is still a no.
Emily leaves the hotel lobby.
Akira< Crazy bitch! I will see you later. Just what she thinks she is! What if you are the captain of Discovery world tour reporting team ? I have a lot of potential too!>
Akira comes back to her hotel room. She throws her piggy bag on the table and lies down on the bed.
Akira
Akira notices her phone is ringing. It is a call from her 5th boyfriend this year.
"Hey Rick! I told you , we are over. So why are you bothering me?"
"Listen dude! It was only a four month relationship! Why are you becoming so hyper?"
"Oh! Look dude! I am telling you clearly, you may be in love with me but I don't. It was just a time pass for me. So stop calling me!"
"Hey wait! Are you cursing me? What? I will never get the love of the man with whom I will fell in love with! Are you joking with me? I am Akira Samuel. There is no guy who can actually seduce me and I will fell in love with. So just get it off."
Akira throws her phone. She is really pissed now.
Akira< What the hell that guy think I am. I am a free spirited woman. No guy in this world can actually bind me. Ahh! I am still wearing that mountain guy's coat. I will just burn this!>
Akira takes of the coat and throws it in the dustbin. Then she notices that something fall from the long pocket of the coat. It is actually a diary.
Akira: Huh! A diary? May be of that jerk. Though he does not look like a guy who will write a diary. Let's see what is in it.
Akira opens the diary. In the first page, a name is written. A beautiful handwriting.
Akira: Sam Brook? So his name is Sam Brook. Well it is a cool name. But why do I feel like I have heard this name somewhere! Well whatever! Now that I think of it, that guy was actually kind of handsome. No guy has ever given a cold face like him to me, a sexy young maiden. If I could date him, it would not be that bad. His blond hair kind of suits him. Let's read the diary ahead.
Akira starts reading.
"Well I had lived twenty five years of my life, but actually that day it truly started. First day of my love life. First time I had seen the white snow falling from the blue sky. First time I had seen a fairy , swimming in this white snow wearing a red gown."
