She showers, changes her cloth, and falls back down on her bed with her hands behind her head. She flashes down memory lane thinking about what Arlene had told her.

FLASHBACK: 5 YEARS AGO

Holoi is just clocking 18 years this day when Arlene sat her down. They are both all alone when Arlene reveals the past

ARLENE: (Sad) My dear, sit down

HOLOI: (Confused) Mum? Why are you sad on my birthday?

ARLENE: (Sad) I will tell you why today my girl. 18 years ago, I went to the bank for some money with my husband for shopping for Toby's essentials. We hadn't gone to pick your elder brother from school while I was a month pregnant with Toby. At the bank, some terrorists held I, a pretty woman named Freya Freeman, and many others hostage for bank heist. Along the way, Freya and I got close at the bank, like childhood bestfriends

HOLOI: (Surprised) Wow mom. Did you show those terrorists how much of a superwoman you are?

ARLENE: (Sad) Freya had a two months old cute baby girl strapped in her baby carrier. Sleeping beauty. The terrorists were trapped when the police threatened to lock them up. The ring leader of the terrorist told the hostages his plan to tie bombs around their waists

HOLOI: (Shocked) But why would they do such a despicable thing?

ARLENE: They were afraid of getting caught by the police. Freya was selected, my husband was selected, a pregnant woman was selected and an elderly man in his late 70s was selected. Afraid of death of her little girl, Freya signaled to me as she made an excuse to the terrorist that she wanted to ease herself in the washroom.The terrorists did not initially accept but she told them it was her last wish and would be glad if she was considered. Out of pity, the ring leader allowed her. I also feigned the urge to pee, so he granted us the chance with the condition of two of his dumb men following us.
