I saw her when she was only 15 years old. She belongs to their school’s model platoon that competes in D county. I was a young Lieutenant at that time just got married. You know the story, Adam, about my marriage.If I was single then, I will pursue her. I cannot forget that face.After 10 years, I saw her again, working in the government office in the city. I was then 1-star general. I can't take off my eyes on her. I would like to hug her so bad. She was then married and with 2 kids. Both of us are married. A friend from Tarlac who was their regional director noticed my staring...he whispered to me, she's married.Adam is listening attentively to Ari while drinking Vodka.Does she know you?No, she doesn’t know me.When I was promoted to 3-star general, I was assigned to D county. Her house is only 5 miles away from my office. Every afternoon, I will drove and pass by her house. Sometimes, she was tending her orchids collection

I am always interested in butterflies. These beautiful species were considered to be the reincarnation of the soul. In some belief butterflies is a personification of a person's soul; whether they are living, dying, or already dead. One superstition says that if a butterfly enters your guest room and perches behind the bamboo screen, the person whom you most love is coming to see you. Another superstition is that butterflies represent the soul, in some beliefs, it symbolizes rebirth. In our culture, a lingering black butterfly or moth in the house is taken to mean a death in the family. (Wikipedia) Ari and I will visit the famous butterfly farm in the CN province. He invited our close friends, his close comrade in arms, and of course his nephew Adam. We are going to have a catered lunch there with butterflies and colorful flowers. I don't know yet, how we can concentrate on our lunch when these beautiful flying species are hovering over us. I was so excited about Ari's plan.

At Ari's office after the wedding...Sir Ari, Mr. Hiromi of the Butterfly Farm called to make an appointment at 11 am today. He says it is very important to talk to you.Did he say why?No, SirOkay, let him come by at 11 am today, I only have 30 mins to see him. I have lunch appointment with my wife.Yes Sir.Ari is reviewing confidential documents about his initiative, New Hope New Life program for the rebel returnees, vouchers for signatures and meeting schedule after 1 pm.Sir Ari, Mr Hiromi is here now.Let him in, Ari instructed Adela.Good Morning General Ari, thank you for seeing us this morning. This can't wait any longer, we need to show you the photos.Photos?Here are the clips, Gen Ari (showing the pictures)Whoa...these are great photos of me and my wife. It's perfect! Can I have copies?Sure, General. We have a request though regarding these pictures.I am listening.

Ari was approached by General Cruz, regarding the incident.Gen Ari, with due respect, we would like to put Mrs de la Lucca in the interrogation room for some questioning. You know the drill Sir.I am expecting that from you Gen Cruz. She is my wife and please be gentle on your questioning, she is not a criminal.I will Sir.As soon as the group reached the camp, Savannah was brought to the interrogation room. She will not met with her husband until after the questioning.Ari was watching on the other room behind the glass panel.Mrs de la Lucca, you knew why you're here?Yes, I do. I will tell you the story, how and when it all started. My husband doesnt know about this yet. It doesnt occured to me that this is important. I never imagined that I will be marrying a man in uniform, never in my wildest dream but it happened. I love that man and I hoped what happened this morning will not affect his performance as the commander in chief

It was a long day indeed. Savannah felt that her energy was sucked up during the questioning. On the other hand, Ari was exhausted since he was worrying about Savannah, so helpless because he cannot do anything about the whole situation. However, when they got home, they had light dinner, cleaned themselves, and made love the entire night. Ari woke up early, make two mugs of cafe mocha and wake up Savannah with the aroma of her favorite morning hot drink. Then he changed his mind about going to work early, he called his assistant instead and gave instructions. He went back to bed and started touching the still sleepy Savannah. They made love again until Savannah cant gets up from the bed. Ari was so naughty and kept on laughing. Stay in bed and wait for me when I get home. I am not done with you yet. Ari wink at Sav. You're a monster, Ari! Yes, I know, I am so addicted to you, you have to make it up to me, wifey! You will leave soon. I will be so sad
