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
Ari continues questioning Leo.When was the last time you called Savannah?When she was in Brahma, I got her number from Sheila. Seen her at Stanford, attending a pediatrician conference. I was there because one of my tech guys' sons needed a blood transfusion; I donated blood. I called her, and she was excited to hear from me. She said to contact her anytime, but I was so busy building my business, I failed to do so.How about when she left for California?Yes, she called me to let me know that she was immigrating to California with her children. Sheila was under the care of her sister then. I learned that Sheila was able to
You're awake, Thank God! How do you feel? Do you need anything?I am thirsty? Savannah responded.Nurse... my wife is awake!Nurse Samantha came running into the room. Seeing Ari hugging Savannah... I'll get the doctor.How do you feel Honey? Are you in pain? Where's the pain? I am so glad you're awake!Savannah can't talk... still processing.Then the doctor came rushing in...How are you Savannah?
Hypnosis is a mental state of highly focused concentration, awareness, and heightened suggestibility. There are numerous techniques that experts employ for inducing such a state. Hypnosis is often used to help people relax, to diminish the sensation of pain, or to facilitate some desired behavioral change.The more Ari read about hypnosis, the more he was convinced that Savannah needed hypnotherapy to relax her mind. Once relaxed, Sav's mind is more open to transforming formative messages.I need to talk to the therapist first, Dr. Steven, before I approve this process.That is the procedure. As her husband, you will approve the process before we can go to that length of treatment. Dr Steven r
Ari, I set up a meeting with you and the therapeutic hypnotherapist. Her name is Jean. Her treatment will focus on helping Savannah to heal, energize and become aware of the balance within. She needs to meet with you first to explain her approach to reaching and determine if Savannah and she are a good fit to achieve the same goal... to heal and move on.I will meet with her first, then I will bring Savannah after our initial meeting.Sounds good. Good luck! Call me if you need me. Ari. Dr. Steven said.Thank you for the referral, Doc.Hi Dr. Jean, My name is Ari de la Lucca. I was referred by Dr. Steven regarding my wife Savannah's selective amnesia after a car accident.Thank you for meeting with me first, Mr. de la Lucca. I need to understand from your own words what happened. Before we go to that, I need you to understand my treatment process and my credentials.I am listening to Dr. Jean. I have been doing hypnotherapy practice for more
Hello Mrs de la Lucca, I am Jean, a hypnotherapist. Do you know why you're here? Hi Dr. Jean, Yes, my husband told me about you, and this meeting. Call me Savannah, please! Good, I wanted us to be on the same page as you and your husband, Ari. Yes, of course. Ari explained to me the purpose of this treatment. What do you do? Savannah? I worked in the Finance Dept of Aztec Intl. as a bookkeeper and payroll assistant. I am a novelist and an aspiring photographer. My work was with National Geographic. I played violin for our town's symphony orchestra when we had a community concert 4 times a year. That is awesome! Now, please tell me something about the time you met your husband Ari. Let us start with that part of your life. Ari and I started on the wrong foot. I met him when I was walking on the beachfront one morning. His assistant invited me to join his boss, a military officer. I refused because I found it arrogant. Then his a
Ari knew that I loved walking on the beachfront; it calms me. He asked me to meet him at 6 am the next day to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him. I am a morning person; I guess he knew that already; otherwise, he would not have asked me to see him that early. I have a feeling that he checked my background, talked to my friends, and hovered on my F******k. Ari is a high-ranking military officer in CN county. That is how I see him, aside from the noise I've heard from the grapevine. Ari was widowed for many years, and had no woman by her side; maybe he was gay. I was laughing out loud in my mind. This arrogant and self-absorbed guy would like to meet with me. I wonder why? Okay, continue Sav. Can I call you Sav? Yes, of course. Everyone calls me Sav. It was a lovely sunrise at 6 am, a little chilly and breezy. I wore my greyish alpaca overblouse with a pale pink undershirt and white knee-length cargo shorts paired with cream knitted espadrille. Ari was
