Maria needs to be among them, down in the valley as the world was informed about. Sir Mullin and Ariana were executing over when Maria proposed to take help from the guy who had dropped her home. The one she was with, Andrew, The jet-guy.
He had put all his money and bought a jet in an auction. His late wife use to fly one when she was in army. He had refurbished that for her sake. He at first was surprise to see a luxury car in front of his garage but when Maria walked out, he was happy to see the child again. He agreed to use his jet to drop them.
Maria was way cheerful outside to reflect her depressions; like any other teen in this world and had attempted failed suicides. That wasn't the first time she flushed any note.
Andrew had found her in one night, all alone by herself over the same bridge he used to visit with her wife and he had the idea - what she was doing there. He made her mind changed, at least for that night. He kept her engaged with his talks, all about his late wife and of course the story of jet. He sensed the harshness sky was preparing and couldn't leave her there; he took her with to his garage, as he knew she would not like to go home. As soon clouds were relaxing he took her home. He didn't know her home would be a villa. No selfishness was involved into his parts; he would have called them to inform earlier only if he got any network into his area.
Maria was sitting in between sir Mullin and Ariana and thinking how they end up together. They don't seem like -made for each other. She leaned and whispered in Ari's ears - "Tell me why him". She got what Maria was asking about; she whispered back tilting to her side. ----uhm......"I was at wedding and a guy sitting next had the most genuine smile I ever had seen before".
"So you fall for his charm".
"Yes! But only after he told me that bride was his wife".
"You were there, at wedding???"
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what? I was dragged there by him and I was upset all the time, I remember I fell down and my mother wasn't there; I mean she was there as bride and not mother." - Maria had never shared her feelings about that day but now they just came out, one after another. There still was rage in her shaky voice and her face turned red.
"She was there; she thanked me for dressing your knee".
"Wait ....That was you, that pretty lady who put ointment on was you".
"I guess".
Sir Mullin could hear them. He remembered how much Maria was upset. How she was crying and how she ran away from him and how she let Ari dress her wound instead of letting him deal with it and then how she asked Ari to be her mother and cried over. "Who would be my mother then, why she's going, can you not go like her, will you stay by my side, will you be my mother then....." -Maria had blurted out like she had any script.
"Wait..., Don't tell me you are together because of me; are you for real? I mean because I had asked you to be my mother."
"I guess". - Ariana confessed.
"Did you know about that? All along?". -Maria turned to sir Mullin.
"I guess". -He replied.
They all laugh together for the moment but Maria; her heart was pumping all excitedly. She was grateful for all the things she had got and she had no idea about.
They reached the valley; Ranger could clearly hear jet over their heads. They (Mullins) climbed down through a ladder.
Maria ran to Sam.
She also shook hand with Elvis and Rach and greeted everyone there. Sir Mullin request them all to cooperate and Samuel handled the rest. Andrew was gone with couple like he was never there and rangers reached the spot at perfect time.
Before they all could be revealing to media Maria had joined them. Half of city has gathered for them and they were first taken to hospitals. Sir Mullin was keeping his promise with them at all cost. He paid bills for them.
Lisa had to lose her leg for infection had damaged her internals and could be worse if was kept. Stephen was in coma and remained there. Two of passengers, who had chosen to find their path on own were found dead by rangers. Rest were rescued.
Mathew when reached up he saw his family standing there and his eyes got struck on Jeff who was standing a meter behind them and still red and crying as he has left him. His Father has hold his mom and told her to let Math first go to Jeff and smiled through his blurred blue eyes. Math hugged them before running to Jeff.
Math and Elvis was happy to see Lily smiling and playing around with her sister and being chased by her mother. She has thanked them for taking care of her. Samuel was not there for he was taken home. He has mentioned every detail to Maria without any count, on loops.
Maria's biological mother visited her, a month after the accident and she was happy to see cheerful Maria, she came with her another daughter from her second marriage and Maria did take her along for ride to her favourite places.
Ari has visited Beth after three months when suddenly Samuel had mentioned about Harris while dining and met with Brandon and Evan also, she asked her to work for her which Beth gratefully accepted. Evan has found his new friend as Ari and he always wish to come with Beth at work and searches for Ariana. While Brandon got admission in school even after session had started few months before.
Everybody has moved on. It has been seven months since but will they ever forget each other? They all once gathered again for Mathew has invited them to his marriage; with Jeff. Of course, it has to be Jeff.

Samuel saw Lisa there; she was on wheel chair but no more conservative. She became a motivational speaker after the incident and telling the world of her pain loudly and confidently. Lisa found a good friend in Samuel.
Unexpectedly Elvis and Rach reached the avenue together and got teased over that. They all had some wine together and Mathew finally confessed to Jeff, in front of them.
Elvis's song was must at wedding and he confesses - they were his best audience ever.
They all went to see Stephen late in night, together. He had some improvement but still in coma but never felt alone because of them. This time they were all together to see him. He smiled all the time. He really forgot of all his pain.
Everybody has moved on. Everybody should move on.
