29 - Stroke

Journey 28

My real opinion of Mayen after these discoveries can finally start to change. The gulf between the two alternative personalities is now so wide it cannot be bridged any longer. Good Mayen and bad Mayen are immiscible - they cannot co-exist.
The contrast is now clearly seen as the difference between heaven and hell - God and the devil - good and evil. To go to such lengths of deception - to weave such a web of fantasy with complete disregard for my feelings, my emotions - all for what? For her own gain, her own greed, avarice - call it what you will, she does it with such relish and enthusiasm - such consumate skill.
However, the perfect little world of Mayen, her scamming colleagues and Sir Francis is about to come crashing down.

Mayen I'm certain is convinced that I now believe her - after all, my reactions on webcam to the revelation were not acting - at the time I believed it - and that is how it would have stayed were it not for a handy little piece of software that allowed me to rewind and replay time.
So Mayen was probably going to go full speed ahead into whatever devious plan she had in mind. I would simply play along and wait until it revealed itself.

Friday September 28th

mayen

It would be fair to think that after such an email as that from Mayen, I would be riding on the crest of a wave. But my instincts were now sharpened - something was in the air.
I couldn't resist the temptation to send rather cryptic tauntings in my next email.
Oscar is my cat.

Sunday 30th September.

Hello to the most beautiful Mayen - mWaaaaaaaaah,
Nope - afraid I didn't get that much sleep - naughty boy that I am - I got sidetracked listening to some music - he he - I suppose I got about 4 hours in the end - but I managed to get through the day OK - as you can see, I'm still up.
My Sunday rehearsal has been moved to start at 4.o'clock - so I'll only be there for an hour before I have to pack up & drive somewhere else for another rehearsal in the evening.
Such is the life of an itinerant musician - "A wandering minstrel I . . . "
I really feel that God has sent me the answer to my prayers.
You are so irresistable, so mysteriously alluring - to every pore - every cell in me - you don't have to worry - please don't worry about timings - we can never see into the future - we should know that by now, for sure - my goodness who would have expected recent events to unfold like they have.
As new beginnings go - and for you - as you have said - this is the start of your second life - and my second chance - blessings to you for that - we are only a few days old - he he - just learning to crawl again.
I have to adjust myself to the renewed wonder of having you in my dreams, my plans - let's enjoy whatever we have to do - just start surrendering to that assured destiny again - surely we cannot argue that what we both feel is so compulsive? You have demonstrated such a generosity of spirit with your gift of forgiveness - as I said before - I am entirely yours - body, mind and soul.
I am resurecting all the explorations that I was making before - discovering the protocols involved - the logistics - of the emigration process - there are my divorce plans to finalise - I tried to talk to my brother in law the other night on the phone and he was so cold towards me - I am not welcome in that side of the family at all now - I can certainly sense that - so the sooner I can get out of this prison the better - for all concerned.
Don't be concerned about the roof either - that's just about all we do share these days.
It's not a particularly good time of year to be selling property, we are still with the estate agent - but we are at the mercy of potential buyers - but listen, dear, sweet Mayen - it will all happen - it gets more and more urgent each time I see you, or chat to you, or get an email or SMS from you - I just feel straight down to the bottom of my heart - that wide open, joyful space that is our playground - in our definite future.
You have a lot of other newness to get used to as well - your new address - 329 - he he - a new job soon for you to shine at - we are both going to be quite busy.
I know I will always have the time to write - we are very close - we have such a bond of shared experience - on top of the love we have always felt - things are strong between us - fear not - young lady - fear not.
In a sense it is just about as much as I can safely handle - emails and chats - as soon as we speak on the phone or I see you on webcam - my desire is so close to becoming overwhelming - at times it gives me a kind of sickness - a feeling of helplessness in my stomach - yah - lovesickness - he he - and I need a doctor urgently - a remedy - a prescription - a plane ticket - a decree of divorce - and then a marriage licence - mWaaaaaaaah - to join my most beautiful bride.
Have you still got the picture of Oscar?
He's just come in - sniffing around the carrier bag again.
He's such a handsome fellow - you've noticed haven't you - how cute he is - he he.
Usually his breed are spotted - it is the Bengal breed - his particular colouring is known as marbled - but Oscar has got spots on his soft, furry tummy - he he. Can you imagine what he feels like to stroke? Such soft fur - he he.
I remember you telling me about Ruffa - he he, your little pet dog.
I can't wait to maybe see you again on webcam - or maybe just for a normal chat Tuesday morning - the webcam's up to you - he he. I shall be here - waiting for my beloved.
Thank you for returning - life was so, so empty without you - it wasn't that long really when we were out of contact - but the crater it left seemed enormous.
Big, king sized mWaaaaaaaaaaah to you - please don't mention lips - if I think of yours . . .
I can never forget you - in every way I remember you as being supremely gorgeous.
Hope we keep our date Tuesday - I'll be here.
God bless you and keep you safe and healthy - I pray for you to heal rapidly and surely.
Take care until next time.
timmyboy.
I love you so very much - please take my heart into your care.
mWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

We didn't have to wait long before we started to detect the early signs of the next squeeze for money. However, I couldn't shake the impression that perhaps Mayen was introducing cryptic remarks of her own - the man who turned into a dog . . .

Sunday 30th September

hi timmyboy,
i have a lazy sunday.. its raining in here and its cold.. the typhoon is affecting
the whole metro manila..i stayed in the room all day..and watch dvd.. i have seen the movie shaggy dog, hehehe the man turns into a dog.. because if some genetic mutations.. poor dog..
My friend also is visiting me her name is ate TER.. she's an old friend of mine and my neighbor before in my sister's place.. we have talked and talked and talked all about my stay in province.. i mentioned also about us.. that we are now giving each other a chance to make a brand new start.. she told me, what ever my decisions, she will support.. she's praying for us..
Tomorrow is my start to hunt job.. i hope i'll be lucky.. i will go to Alabang to pas my resume and also for some interviews.. A new beginning, a new challenge.. wish me luck Timothy..My father also will go back to province as soon as possible..because of some important reasons..

love,
mayen

Hmmm - I wonder what important reasons those could be?
So important that he couldn't possibly tell Mayen about them.
I challenged her on this point in my next email.

Monday 1st October.
Oh, Oh, Oh, - how lovely to read your mail - I've not long been home after my busy day - I have some mango to look forward to in the fridge, he he - and I discover your email - a perfect end to a good day.
First thing to say darling - the very best of fortune with your job hunting - starting tomorrow eh? God be with you in your search - I'm positive something really suitable will come your way really soon.
Hey - what's this about your father having to go all the way back to the province?
Surely you must know what that's about - it must be something very urgent for him to cut short his trip to see Adelaide - I'm sure he was looking forward to meeting them all.
I do hope everything is OK?
So you have met up again with ate Ter? he he - was she a neighbour of Adelaide or a neighbour of Christy?
What is Ter an abreviation for? Teresina? Theresa? - no idea - please let me know.
Does she live in Manila now?
Is she married? Has she a family?
So how is it in room no 329? Better than your old room? he he - no more floods I hope - if they haven't repaired your old room yet, it's a jolly good job you were able to move to another - if your having typhoons still - that would have been awful for you.
Yah - I'm certainly looking forward to our chat - Tuesday morning - I will definitely be here.
This afternoon was very enjoyable - I was playing with the BBC Light Orchestra - they had a kind of reunion rehearsal - running through some of the music that they used to play on the radio - when the orchestra was still in existence - it has been disbanded for a few years now - but they all meet up regularly to keep playing - I was playing the harp parts - he he - yah - like the angel I am - on a keyboard - I don't actually play the harp.
To say I miss you so much would be a complete understatement - I don't know my sweetheart - we have been through so much in our short relationship - it sometimes feels like I have known you for ever - you feel so much a part of my life now - I never want to imagine my life without you
I really do adore you - I wish that things could be simpler - like you living just around the corner - then we would already being enjoying the fruits of paradise.
I could take you out for dinner in the evenings - we could have so much fun.
We could go and see movies together - shows -concerts - the Opera - he he - I remember you saying you wanted to see Opera one day.
Well - we will - together my beautiful gUrl - we will.
I had another fantastic dream about you last night - we were swimming together again - we swam all the way out to a large rock off the shore - your nanay and tatay were standing on the shore when we looked around - waving at us both - and blowing kisses - I felt as if they were wishing us the best of luck together.
No idea what dreams really mean - but I know I could have stayed in that dream - with you - for a lot, lot longer - huhuhuhuh had to wake up - go to work - huhuhuhuh.
But they do act upon my heart - dreams like that - when I do get up I just remember the dream - tasting the sensation - trying to stay with the memory of it for as long as possible - and I just feel all the love I have for you in my heart - how it will be - I know - when we are together.
Every day - a beautiful day - typhoon or sunshine - he he.
So - my buko baby - it's getting late now - I'd better go and get my rest.
I so hope we meet online Tuesday - to see you again - in your world over there - he he - strange isn't it?
Yet we have that bond between us - I never forget that - you are my true love - we have lived and shared our love - it is real - not a fantasy - it actually is real - and I am the luckiest man alive.
God bless you and keep you safe - healthy - and heal all your wounds - inside and out.
Mwaaaaaaaaah mWaaaaaaaaaah mWaaaaaaaaaaaah
Until soon my darling, my beloved - most beautiful Mayen - you are so wonderful - I still melt inside at the thought of being next to you again.
Chat really soon - he he.
All my love to you - mahal kita Ma. Ana Samson Betita.
timmyboy.

Still keeping me in suspense with her reply, also exposing a strategy of preparation which we seem to have seen before - the first request for money - a health check for suspected Dengue Fever & the mention of a few symptoms which will later be used in connection with a suspected pregnancy. Slowly, slowly - catchy monkey. It is perfectly clear that had this recent event been true, Mayen's father would have shared the bad news immediately - instead, Mayen's invented scenario drip-feeds the suspense - a strategy designed to heighten my concern and optimise my eventual response.

We have heard admissions from Mayen (on the video interview with Noemi Dado - coming later) that she had "asked" for money on my return to the UK - however, these "asks" were never direct & specific requests for money - & took the form of hints about a situation - expecting and anticipating my positive response, exactly as is happening here.
However - Mayen's own admission that this is "asking" for money - proves that it is being done consciously - revealing a deliberate method.

Monday 1st October

Dearest timmyboy,
What a tired monday! oh its really terrible because the weather is not good.. its raining too heavy in here because of typhoon coming again..
Early in the morning i went out, then i went to alabang for interview, but this day was not so lucky..I have to wait for the manager to conduct the interview and until lunch i keep on waiting.. huhuhu.. Then her secretary told me to go back tomorrow because they are too busy and they cant accomodate me, i was really upset and not only me but also the other applicants.
So i decided to pass my resume to other company. its really so hard.. unlucky day.
As i decided to go home, i passed by a mall and there are benches outside. i sat there waiting for the rain to stop.and i enjoy watching the beautiful trees and the birds playing and flying under its branches.. they were singing and i know they enjoy the rain.. hehehehe.. i never noticed the time.. i appreciate what i saw.. and my disappointment to the manager
was gone.. hehehe. After that i went home and i decided to go back tomorrow..
Yah my father is now in Leyte he fly via Surigao.. it was really urgent..Ate TER is a short from TERESITA or in english THERESA, she is the nieghbor of sister adelaide..she's 37 years old and still single.. and still she never meet her prince charming.. hehehe she is working also in MANILA.. as a supervisor in a company..
About my room, they say, there is no place as perfect as heaven.. hehehe. yah i like the room because its newly painted wall and ceilings.. it is newly renovated, no flood hehehe and its clean.. but the one thing im not comfortable is the noise in the squatter's area outside the perimeter wall.. and the trycycles passing, BRROOM BROOMM, BROOM
really very annoying, i have no choice but to live with in this unit.. huhuhu.
i miss you always and you are all im thinking everyday..if only you were here near to me,
i dont have to ask for more..but to stay close to you always..i love you so much, i really do.. WHEN WILL YOU MARRY ME. hehehe.. Oh timmyboy.. what i will do to minimize this feeling of emptiness because of your absence.. huhuhuhu. As i read your email today, yah you got my point, i like these things you mention especially to see an opera, i never see that eversince, huhuhuh poor MAYEN...but someday we will see hah.. PROMISE ME..
dARLING, I THINK tomorrow tuesday morning as you read this e-mail, we cant chat, because i have to go back to alabang..im desperately want to be interviewed so that i can start to work as soon as possible.. i really need it.. and maybe, after the interview, we can talk.. i have to find way to chat you okay.. i will sms you if i will be online tomorrow afternoon or night.. i hope you understand.. i miss you so and i love you..mwaaahhh...
mwwaaahhh...can you wait for me after the interview?please.. please.. wait for me timmyboy
have to go now, i need to rest early.. to prepare myself for tomorrow..
hope you have a nice day ahead and not as annoying as mine... hehehe
mmwwwaaahhh...love you and please dont forget me.. please..
love,
mayen

Now part of the strategy of a scammer is to take their victims by surprise or present a new confrontation at a time when they might be tired. So despite our arranged chat sometime on the Tuesday - I am taken by surprise when Mayen comes online really early in the morning for a chat - we switch the webcams on.

mayen: yah
mayen: yah

.....................................................................................................
[Notice Mayen said that it happened "last Thursday" - well on the Friday in her email to me she wrote " . . . my father will visit tomorrow in quezon city to my sister adelaide..He will stay there. . . " So, his wife had suffered a stroke on Thursday, yet he sticks to his plan to visit Adelaide on the Saturday & doesn't return to the province until Monday? They don't seem to have much luck with hospital visits in that family, do they?]

We sign off at 6:33 am

Oh my goodness - I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.
I can see now just how much cunning was being used - harking on about me not turning away - banking on the fact that I'd be determined to make up for the previous time - the hospital business.
I can hardly believe it - I send Jim an email to get in touch as soon as possible.
I don't go to bed - my mind is swirling around. What am I going to do to deal with this situation?
Jim phones nice and early - he too is amazed at how soon Mayen has moved in for the kill - convinced as she now is that I believe her implicitly about the scar.

I get an SMS from Mayen just before 8:00 am:

darling im online now. where r u?
i cnt be alone huhuhu, i dnt knw.
wil u pls join me now. im waiting .. luv u

I go online to join Mayen for another webcam chat.

tim (8:12:39 AM): I'm here
tim: hello again mwaaaaaaah
mayen: hi
mayen: sorry for disturbing you
tim: I was in bed - he he - bleep bleep
mayen: really?

mayen: nothing.. im trying to sleep but i cant
tim: wrong time for you during the day

mayen: yah
mayen: your right
bmayen: thats why i decided to be back
mayen: in here
tim: I see you
mayen: yah..
.....................
mayen (9:04:56 AM): have you find the main office number of WU?
tim: hang on I'll phone them up it's 9 now - should be open . . . can you hold on?
mayen: okay

[I make a phone call . . .]

tim: right - I have to go to the local office - take some ID and they will give me the number - they are not prepared to do it over the phone for me
tim: I can be there in twnty minutes
mayen: aha
mayen: salamt po
tim: I have to go soon then huhuhuhuh
tim: walang anuman
mayen: aha
mayen: you will go back?
tim: to town then I come back here
tim: yah
mayen: is it okay for you?

At that point - rather than having to face what I thought would have been a final goodbye - my computer froze - locked up solid.

Mayen sends me an SMS:

SMS from Mayen 19:04 02/10/07
timmyboy, whr r u? wht happen 2 ur computer?
u sms me in ds number.. hope ur okay. i love u so.
mmwwahh.

I rebooted the computer but sent Mayen an SMS telling her what had happened - that I would be going to town, to the WU office and I'd get back online when I returned home.

The phone call I made to the "WU Head Office" while still on webcam to Mayen was me phoning Jim - he was having a bath.
I did a pantomime of searching for the phone number, getting out documents to read to him over the phone, I posed with my passport in front of the camera as I read out to Jim my passport number. I had to ask Jim not to make me laugh at one point as I was still on camera - and he kept saying things like " . . . and bring a utility bill - and a large piece of cheese." "What's the cheese for?" I asked him over the phone, listening to him sloshing about in the bath "So that we can trap these rats that you've been having trouble with . . . " he chortled.

So - after the chat session - Jim and I had another long phone conversation - discussing the next strategy.
A couple of hours later I sent Mayen an SMS.

"Hi sweetheart, still in town, sorry it's taking so long - they have to go through a refund process for me - it's after 45 days, but I have discovered that they can send express. My friend has loaned me the money - will collect this PM - send to you this PM - you can collect Weds AM, no hold. Mwaaah. Will write later. timmyboy"

Mayen responded with two SMS:
