I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 34 Business trip to California

After the funeral, Hannah was so sad.

Honey, Can I talk to you? Hannah asks Ari

What is it, Hon? Ari responded.

Do you hate Cherry?

Yes, I do. Until now, I cant forgive her. Ari said.

She ruined us, I missed 2 years of our life. Ari said.

Please forgive her, hon...she's dead. Hannah said.

I will try for your sake, hon. You are very forgiving and I love you for that. Ari kissed Hannah on her forehead and brush her hair lovingly. She doesn't have any idea how I suffered during those 2 years. I am so glad you forgive me for the sins I have not even committed. Anyway, we moved on but I cannot forget. Sorry hon, I almost killed myself for the lies she perpetuated. I cannot live without you, Hon. Sorry, I cannot forgive her just yet. Only time will tell.

Hannah kept quiet and did not say anything.

After 10 days....At the Davis' household while the couple and their son are having breakfast...

Honey, Gilroy is requesting your handsome husband for at least 3 weeks to help close the deal with the Gomez ranch acquisition. Check your schedule and Aaron if he can come with us.

You're so shameless Ari...handsome husband huh! hahaha

You're always cracking jokes every morning Dad! And No, I can't come. I have school activities. Besides, I am going to Fullerton in one month.

I almost forgot about it, Aaron. How many days you'll be staying at Fullerton?

Half and half Mom, 2 weeks at Fullerton then 2 weeks at Santa Clarita. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like the milk half and half!

Aaron: I am serious Dad...

Okay, you can't come to your parent's trip. But you can visit your cousins and spend time with them for weeks...I get it, son, you're grown up already. Did it ever occur to you to visit your aging uncle and grandmother Ima at Gilroy?

Hannah is silently listening to the father and son conversation, she felt that Ari is hurting.

Dad, we plan for a road trip from Fullerton to San Francisco and spend at least 2 days in Gilroy.

Good to know son, that you have time to visit your Uncle and Grandmother. Is it your idea or Simone's? I know that Simone is close to Ima.

Aaron looking down on his plate responded....to be honest Dad, it's Simone's but I Love Ima Dad, I am sorry!

I understand son, at least you've been honest with Me and your Mom.

So Mom, when are you and your handsome husband will leave for San Francisco?

You know now how to catch and throw the joke Aaron hahaha, ask your handsome Dad!

In two weeks, I need to prepare some documents and re-arrange my schedule. By the way, Hannah, don't forget to buy a couple of souvenirs for our friends in California. I remembered Elise would like to get that "sungkaan" complete with seashells.

Yeah, I remembered. Also, I have to buy some native sandals and wedges in different colors for Karen and Yssa. Native placemats with matching cup holders and table napkins. I have to start shopping tomorrow.

Don't forget the barongs for John, Trey, and Eloy.

I have to make a list. I don't want to miss some stuff to bring.

Mom, don't forget the famous tupig and tibuk tibuk, that's Ima's favorite snacks.

Glad you remembered Ima's favorite snacks son. She asks for you last night, she misses you. Try

to call her tonight.

Yes, Dad, I will call Ima tonight. I have to go, Mom and Dad, I don't want to be late for school.

Aaron kisses Hannah and Ari on their forehead then exited on the back door of the kitchen.

Do you think I am too hard on Aaron, honey? Ari asks Hannah

Hannah responded: I don't think so honey, you're just sending him a message that he should pay attention more to Ima and Yael, both of them are aging. They wanted to spend time with Aaron and it seems that your son doesn't have time yet. He chooses to spend his month-long vacation to see his cousins. But it's good that Simone would like to drop by Gilroy to see Ima and Yael.

Ima told me that Simone and Yssabella always spend the weekend with her when the girls are not busy in the hospital. Just last week, the girls were there, vaccinating the laborers. Enzo and Tyler always drop by to say Hello and sometimes had lunch at the house on their way to Los Angeles.

Good to know that they have time...I am so glad. Aaron is here with us. Maybe, when he decided to pursue his education at Santa Clara University, he will have more time to see Ima and Yael.

I hope so honey! I am thinking of something else. We have done so much for Aaron honey, we molded him to be a good person. I am hoping that the love, guidance, and training we gave him will pave the way for a better future.
