I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 38. Family Meeting

I agree with Gen Mar, Ari....Ima said.

I do too Ima, but I want to be truthful to Aaron, he is a sweet and obedient boy Ima. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

We promised Mr San Diego honey, remember!

Hannah is speechless and misty eyed. Ari hug her and put her head to his chest, circling his hand on her back. Softly kissing her cheeks, her eyes, her nose and small kisses on her lips.

Shhh.....everything will be okay! Trust me. I would like you to relax your mind. I will take care of this.

Ima and Yael is observing how Ari is handling the situation. They both admired this man who was a happy go lucky and had a wayward vagabond life from the past. He changed a lot, turn around his life, improved his business skills and always been so in love with Hannah and their life together with Aaron. He is very attentive and overly protective of his wife. He is so calm dealing with the acquisition and family issues. He does not over react. He always keeps his mind clear and his heart at peace. There is no perfect life, no perfect marriage and no perfect set of people who will do what we expect them to do. They choose to be happy and be there with each other. I believes that God is hugging them so tight that all the broken pieces of their life brought by Cherry will fit back together. I am happy for my Ari. I am grateful for Hannah's forgiveness. I can feel the devotion they have for each other. I will join my deceased family soon with contented heart and peace of mind. So happy and proud.

Meanwhile in Tarlac.

Aaron is investigating who is Tiya Lucia and Ms Myrna San Diego. He tried so hard to follow his inquiry, however, he always encountered some bumps and brick wall. He felt that someone is following his investigation preventing him to go forward. He become so frustrated and stop following his lead. Maybe, its not meant to be.

Aaron's POV

Someday, I maybe able to know the truth that my parents is hiding from me. Maybe its for the good of everybody. I will just concentrate on my studies and not to disappoint my parents. I love them both, I cant take it if I hurt them.

My parents wanted me to be successful and continue my Dad's work and my Mom's advocacy. I will not fail them, I owed them a lot. I know now that my Mom's alleged deceased friend she visited in the cemetery was my biological mother. She destroyed my Mom's and Dad's relationship from the past thatswhy my Mom worked in Cambodia. I hate that woman. Inspite of the hurt she put my parents into, my Mom treated me so well and even put her blood to my veins when I got shot at an early age. I owed Mom my 2nd life. Now, I know why my Dad is so overly protective to my Mom because of what they have been through. My Dad believed in destiny....My Mom and Dad belong to each other. There was obstacle from the past but because of their love and devotion to each other, they succeeded to be together. I don't want to stress out in my investigation anymore, that can wait. I believe that everything will happen at the right and perfect time. My Dad and Mom are the most beautiful people on earth. They suffered, they struggled, they lost and found their way out of the depths. Both of them have an appreciation, sensitivity and an understanding of life. They have compassion. gentleness and a deep loving concern to the people around them. I am so proud to be their son. I am so proud of my life and my parents. I will not fail them.
