I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 44. Tuscany

We are going to visit Tuscany, Stanley, Ari said. It’s in our bucket list and we would like to do it on our own. Thank you for your time and Gracia. We do appreciate it.

It's always a pleasure seeing you both Ari….[whispering to Ari], take care of her.

I will, my dear cousin. You opened my eyes for the things I did not see but now I am seeing it. I owed you a lot.

She's been so patient to you Ari. Stanley reminded Ari.

Gracia and Hannah are approaching Ari and Stanley standing on the curb….

Did we miss something, you owed Stanley? I didn’t know? How much? Hannah asks Ari

$10, I won in our bet....it's legal and secret, just for the two of us. Stanley responded to Hannah.

Ari said you both wanted to be alone and needed privacy. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Huh..really!, I didn’t know such a thing, Hannah said.

I want to be alone with you wifey in Tuscany, Ari begged Hannah not to bring Stanley and Gracia.

Gracia is smiling…cmon Stanley, let’s give them privacy

Of course, Stanley said with a mischievous smile on his face.

They said goodbyes and hugged each other.

Ari saw how Stanley cared for Hannah, he hugged her tight with his eyes closed, savoring the closeness they had that moment.

It was Hannah who broke away….

Hey Stanley, enough, my wife can't breathe anymore.

Hannah ignored Ari’s comment. She can feel Stanley’s attention to her when they arrived but she keeps on ignoring it. Stanley told her in the past that he was willing to marry her and build their life together in Italy, far away from Ari. But she refused. She felt that it was unfair to Stanley because she still loves Ari. Stanley walks away and respects her decision.

It’s not goodbye… we will see you soon, Gracia said.

Yes, you both can visit us in Tarlac or we can meet in Gilroy for R and R someday, Ari said.

See you both soon and looking forward to a great vacation someday, just the four of us, Hannah said.

Great idea…Stanley said, for now it's goodbye!

They hugged again.

The couple took the night train from Rome to Tuscany and stayed in Holiday Home Domivechhi in Arezzo.

How many days are we going to stay here Ari?As many days as you want wifey…I already extended our stay. I called Kush to take over in the next 10 more days. I would like to explore this beautiful place with my wife.You’re becoming so romantic hubby! I liked that.

Then a phone call comes in from California..

And a special friend maybe?

No Mom, just Yssabella, Simone, Matthew, Tyler and EnzoI see.

Mom I have to tell you a secret.

Hmmm…what is it? You are in a speaker, son!

It’s okay Mom, I would like Dad to listen to it too.

Okay, what is the secret?

Yssabella has a boyfriend, and Simone is dating!

Yesterday, Yssabella’s boyfriend came to see us….oh boy! If looks could kill, he was already 6 feet under the ground.

Oh my god! Why is that son?

Ari interrupted Aaron.

Hi Dad, you’re eavesdropping hahaha

Just curious son…going back to my question, Why?

Because the three guys are looking at him like piercing a dagger to his heart, whew!I was just observing, wow…Matthew, Tyler and Enzo are so protective.

Well, it runs in the family son.

I’m not surprised, Hannah said.
