I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 22 Please give me a Chance Hannah

Hannah, please ride with me to Gilroy. I did not bring a driver, I will be sad and lonely driving alone.

Okay, I will ride with you, I don't want you to be sad..she said jokingly.

I am so glad, you've been together for three full days, you had a break from your busy schedule, you're not flying with them, are you?

Of course not, I will go home to my place then back to work in two days.

Can we continue with our talk? I'm been anxiously waiting for your answer? Please give me a chance. I promise I will not let you down. Let us create our life together. Let us talk more about it.

It's not easy for me to go back right away. You wronged me. I know it happened before our time together, I suffered so much pain in the process of our separation. I can't promise anything right now. I am sorry!

Everything that I've once owed you, the pain, the hurts, and disappointments, I'll do my best to make it up every day of our lives and unto the future. He paused for a while to clear his throat..... Yes, I will compromise, I will do anything you want. I need you in my life, please, please come back to me.

Hannah was listening intently, she found sincerity and love in what he was saying.

It was almost 2 hours drive, they talked, laughed, cried a little bit then talked, laughed again, and sing out of tune like in the old days. All through the trip, Ari was holding Hannah's hand, squeezing it, kissing the back of her hand, placing her hand to his chest close to his heart. The two years of absence make their hearts grow fonder. Maybe the seed of destiny that belonged to Ari and Hannah is starting to sprout again.

Hannah, can I bring you home at the ranch tonight?

No Ari, please drop me at the hotel. This is our last night together with my friends.

Okay, can you spend a night with my family at the ranch tomorrow after they left?

I will think about that Ari. Okay, I will wait for your decision tomorrow morning. Please give me a chance, Hannah! By the way, I will host breakfast at the ranch before their trip. I already told them earlier.

Thank you Ari for your hospitality, I am sure my friends appreciate that gesture, and of course, I do appreciate you.

Everything for you to make you happy, Hannah!

It was a new experience visiting Napa Valley, they covered places that are interesting, the stroll through the vineyards, chat with winemakers, the lavish resort, top-rated restaurants, and the exceptional balloon rides. They visited Napa Museum, attended an open view film festival, the safari west, historic park, the Calistoga harvest table, and the famous wine tasting at numerous vineyards.

Aside from the famous and favorite Moscato de Asti, the group's new favorite is Galo wine with exceptional sweet apple and strawberry with 9% alcohol content. Hannah surprisingly misses Ari on that trip, she wishes he joined them but under circumstances, he can't because of previous commitments. On the other hand, Ari wishes that he has the time to join the trip. He misses Hannah so much.

Ari's POV

We will be back in Napa Valley Hannah, just the two of us. We will spend time together. I owed you a lot. I will make it up to you. I will bring you to Tuscany for our honeymoon. I never thought I will love a person liked I love you. You brought me to my knees when you said goodbye 2 years ago. I felt that I die. Now, we are together again, I will be focusing on us, our lives, and raising up Aaron to be a better

person. You thought me a lot about human kindness, love, and forgiveness. 20 days is a long wait but I will patiently be waiting. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Everyone is happy and at the same time exhausted. They sleep early to catch an early schedule the following day.

Have you decided Hannah, Mary asks.

I will decide after I get back from Saskatchewan? I can clear my head there. I have to think this over and over again.

The next day at Gilroy, California At 6:30 am, breakfast is served at the Davis Ranch. Fresh fried egg, sausages, hamburger patties, fresh milk, coffee, and fresh fruits. After breakfast, each and everyone says Bye for now, until the next trip. The group then left for San Francisco Airport. Everyone's mind is occupied with so many thoughts about Ari and Hannah part 2. Some are hopeful and happy. They decided not to intervene and just think positive thoughts about their friend's new journey. Hannah still has some reservations but willing to try again. Her heart is so full of hope and love for this man who gave him happiness but still, I need time.

Hannah, I am leaving for Manila tomorrow to bring back Aaron and her nanny. I have scheduled meetings and deals in Tarlac so I might be staying there in the next 10 days. When are you leaving for Saskatchewan?

Day after tomorrow. I will be staying at Regina the whole 20 days, Hannah responded.

Can we get in touch by face timing, emails, and phone calls?

That is doable though.

Can you open your heart again for me Hannah? Ari was begging.

I will try Ari, I will try

I fully understand….Ari responded in a very soft voice.
