I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 13 So happy.

Boarding time.

Finally, it's boarding time. They embraced each other so tight and kissed until Hannah ran out of breath. She was embarrassed as some passengers are looking at them. Ari doesn't care at all; he would like to announce on his thought that Hannah belongs to him and him alone. Both are so sad as the announcement of boarding time is now in fruition.

Ari's heavy steps to the exit door, looking sad at Hannah's on departure line.

When Hannah's in front of the ground attendant scanning her passport, she is informed that Hannah is upgraded to business class.

Hannah: There must be some mistakes, I did not upgrade.

Flight attendant: Sir Ari upgrades it.

Hannah: Do you know Ari?

Flight attendant: Yes, of course, I am from Tarlac, he is so popular that single women are lining up to date him. He is a gigolo, you know. Hannah's heart sunk, she felt pain and insecurity engulfed her, and cold water sweep over her body. Her knees tremble.

Flight attendant: This is the first time I've seen him seeing off a lady friend, you must be very special. Hannah blushed…her cheeks are so red.

Seating on the business class seat, she texts Ari to call her.

Ari called right away.

Ari: Something's wrong

Hannah: You got me an upgrade? You did not tell me, another surprise?

Ari: I want you to be comfortable, it's 14 hours trip.

Hannah: Can I ask you a question?

Anything you can ask me, you own me. Ari responded.

I love my work….are we going to have a problem in the future about me working? Hannah asks.

Good question…I know you love your work honey, can you work part-time? So we can spend some time together. We are not young anymore. I wanted to travel with you, spend a vacation in a faraway place, you and me only. I missed you for 5 years, I would like to make it up to you. I would like to make you happy. I need you in my life……. You are the piece that is missing in my heart, now it's complete because I found you. You can continue writing, blogging, and even painting. We can talk about it and we will compromise. How's that for a starter? Hmmm…..Is my answer good enough?

Wow, that was a very lenghtly response, I think I am convinced. By the way, the flight attendant knew you, she said you're a gigolo.

Ari's eyes darkened, I already told you about my past, If I can go back in time, I will but it's done. Please trust me on this. You're my only one from now on.

I hope our relationship will thrive and survive until we perish on earth. Hannah quipss.

I will promise to make you happy. We can work it out, Hannah.

Avoiding to respond…….Are you driving back now? Did you bring a driver? It's a long drive to Tarlac.

I brought a driver, don't worry about me. Open your phone, I will call you from time to time. I am missing you already. I feel terrible now.

Don't be Ari, we can call each other…….I would like to say something to you, while you're on the phone.

You're making me nervous, Hannah….he took a deep breath, and said: okay, I am listening…

She pauses for a while……Thank you for caring and loving me. I do appreciate what you have done to my friends and myself. You're a good person with a great heart. I will be forever indebted to you. No matter what happens, I will love you forever. You gave me the best time of my life. I will treasure our memories. I will take care of myself for you. Please take care of yourself for me as well, would you! novelbin

Stop that, Hannah you're making me nervous. Nothing will happen to you. Believe that we are being blessed by somebody up there, not the Aliens by the way…….I will forever love you………….you're the best thing that ever happened to me…..and yes, we have the best times and I am so glad that you love me back…..and I will see you in my dreams!

Yes, of course, Ari I will see you in my dreams!

Hannah thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever. Even their friends are unaware of the storm coming on their life.
