Ari's POV
I was so proud of you Sav, you're a closer. I am sure that my team will accept and admire you more. When the news about our marriage surfaced in the office, there's a lot of questions on their minds, even my fellow colleagues if you can live up to their expectations. I don't care if you can't, what matters most to me is that I loved you. But I guess it was normal in the office setting that kind of opinion. They have been very protective of me ever since. When they realized that I don't care about their opinion about you, they kept quiet but I know that they are looking for some negative feedback on you. That is why I would like to protect you but now, you quiet them. I was laughing out loud. Yes, we can do this project together, meaning you have to come home to me very often.
Back to the meeting...
Elise: It's personal, I will call when you're in SF. Sav, going back to Brahma...congratulations on a job well done. Dr. Wang was so pleased and he wants yo
Adam, you've been drinking a lot lately. You need to move on for the sake of Uncle Ari. Susan said. I am moving on Susan, but sometimes I felt so sad, that's why I drink. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for both of them. I have seen how happy Uncle Ari with Sav. He showered her his love and care. Sav was so happy too. Seen her eyes sparkle especially when Uncle Ari proposed at the Butterfly Farm. He knew how to get to her heart and pleased her. I admired them, the love they shared especially Uncle Ari who waited for decades. I wish I can find another Savannah to love Susan. I will help you find one but no rush, Okay! Susan responded. By the way, we have to prepare for the upcoming festival. I need your help in finding photographers and videographers. We have at least 20 films to screen in 2 days. Can you do the Q and A after the screening? Susan asks. Adam: Yes, I can handle the Q and A portion, I need the synopsis or treatment of each film so I can cr
Ari's POVIt was hard to get up in the morning, not seeing my wife beside me, not embracing her the whole night. My heart aches; I miss her so badly. I am not content with facetiming and phonecalls every day. I couldn't even eat, not thinking if she had her meal already. I have to plan. I can not live like this anymore. I have to join her in California. I can retire at anytime, and I was due to retire five years ago anyway. I requested an extension because I need to contribute to this country using my community-building expertise and keeping peace and order. This time, I have to prioritize my wife and my relationship. I can not afford to lose her. She is my life now.In the office...Is the general comi
Gen Ari was so cranky the whole day in the office. At around 3 pm, he summons Gen Cruz, Gen Torres, Allan, and Ben to his office.Let's go to the Red and Light bar and get drunk. I wanted to get very, very drunk tonight.Let me remind you, Gen Ari, that the Red and Light bar owner was infatuated with you, and she will be happyto see you at your current stage, lonely and sad. Allan reminded Ari.That's okay.... I wanted to get drunk only.Well, if that is what you want, then let's go. Gen Cruz said with a naughty smile on his face.Ben, Allan,
Adam tried to call Sav. He dialed numerous times, but she did not pick up. He decided to text her. She texted back. I will be okay Adam. I need space. Please don't call me.Savannah received numerous texts from her friends, their common friends, but continued to ignore them.For two days, she did not talk a lot, even to Naomi. She tried to eat to nourish her body, but very little. She just takes coffee the whole day and water.That night, Naomi woke up in the middle of the night. She heard soft sad music coming from the living room. She tiptoed and saw Savannah playing the piano in her nightdress. The melody was so sad, it was like saying goodbye.
At 4pm, at Ari's office.Gen Cruz, Torres, Allan, Adela, and Mrs. Guzman were having a last minute meeting before Ari's departure to SF.I need all of you to work together on this project hand in hand while I am away. We need to finish this asap. I would like to announce that I will be retiring in 12 months. I already requested that from HQ, so we need to have this New Hope initiative be self-sufficient in the span of 1 year. I have commitments and I intend to keep them. I was distracted due to my own doing. I accept full responsibility, but I have to get to the bottom of this. Who instigated this to destroy me and send the news link to my wife? Gen Cruz, please create a team to look into this. My wife just had a car accident. I have to leave now, so I am entrusting
As the big bird touched down at the San Francisco airport, Ari's heart lurched. It was chilly, windy and so dark that evening. There were no stars, just dark clouds. Ari's POV I missed you so much Sav and I am so sorry for what happened. I was framed that night. I just wanted to get drunk so I could sleep soundly. My mistake hon. I did not do anything to hurt you. I have been loyal and faithful. Please forgive me for my irresponsibility. I will fix everything. I promised you that it would not happen again. At the airport, Good evening Sir and big Bro, Welcome to San Francisco, Naomi greeted Ari and Ben.
Meeting with my wife's primary doctor and attending physician was a relief. No damage physically or mentally. She will wake up very, very soon. I want her to see me first when she wakes up. I will stay in her room until that time. Day 1 Ari keeps on holding and caressing Savannah's hand, kissing her on her cheeks and brushing his lips against her lips from time to time. He started talking to her about what happened, apologizing for his irresponsibility. He was narrating how happy they were on the butterfly farm, the happiest day of his life. How he treasured her. The best thing that happened to him was marrying the love of his life. He enjoyed being together with her, the simplest things like walking on the beach, holding hands, eating a meal together, drinking coffe
Day 2There were two men looking for you, said Nurse Samantha.Send them in, I am expecting them. Ari responded.General de la Lucca, I am Det Jack and this is Det Dick. We will stay here to protect your wife until we resolve this issue.Yes, I was told this morning. Don't create panic on this floor, be discreet.Of course, GeneralThis is Naomi, my wife's assistant, and a family member.Naomi nodded to the two dete
