Chapter 20 Come back to me


    After the dance, Hannah was tired and now standing on the sideline and watching her friends and the


    guests on the dance floor. She felt that someone was hovering over her.


    Can we talk now, Hannah?


    Sure Ari grabbed Hannah''s hand and went to the garden.


    The moon was shining in full swing, They sat in the rattan loveseat facing the garden.


    I am so happy to see you Hannah, as if a new day hase.  My family too are excited and ted to


    see you…us, together again.   He stopped for a moment, clearing his throat. I have been nning to


    see you after your Cambodia assignment, but I pause for a while, to offer myself again. I need some


    preparation. You see, I am a responsible person now, managing 2 ranches at the same time.  I can


    prove to you that I am a changed man.  I wanted you to be proud of me as your man.  Pleasee


    back to me. Can you give me a second chance?  Let''s start all over again.

    Hannah knew this wasing, but she had some reservations.


    What if Cherryes back to you?


    She is already married, I got full custody of Aaron so she can start all over again.  She is willing to meet


    you to confirm that she will not bother you, us.


    Hannah knew that Ari went to see her in secrecy for 2 years, every month when she was in


    Cambodia.  Ava told her.


    In a vast sea of people, it was not easy to find a person who knew and loved you. She knew how Ari


    loved her.  She was epted by his family, his friends and colleagues.  Not to mention, they looked


    good together.  Ari makes herugh, happy and content.  He treated her well, proud of her.  He


    introduced her to his business colleagues. They have ns for the future, their unrelenting love to each


    other.  Theymunicate well, trust and respect each other. It''s almost a perfect rtionship until that


    sad news came and ended their romance in a jiffy.


    Hey, are you there, Hannah? It seems that your mind is somewhere else. Do you need more time..I can


    wait, but please give me a chance.


    When I get back from our trip, I will decide. I epted a work assignment in Saskatchewan. That ce


    is in Canada.  I might spend another 20 days toplete my work.  I will be staying in the province


    capital of Regina.


    20 days, you’re kidding me, Ari in a very low voice of disappointment.


    No, I am not kidding you.  My work is my priority now. Are you running away again from me Hannah?


    Yes, I am Ari.


    Ari feels that a dagger is piercing on his heart, but he doesn’t want to provoke Hannah.  At least now,


    he knows where she''s at, unlike before she lost her for 5 years, no known address. Ari''s face darkened,


    what if she decided that she had enough of me. Dear Lord, please help me.  This woman is my


    greatest love.  I can''t live without her.


    They went back  to the party, Ari was holding Hannah''s hand, not letting it go. He went to the dance


    floor and danced passionately, holding and embracing her hard until Hannah whisper….please loosen


    up a little, I can''t breathe.


    Aries to his senses and loses his hand on her waist.  Ari was so emotional and nervous.  Twenty


    days is like eternity, he thought.


    Then somete guests arrived.....Ari introduces Hannah to his business colleagues who just came in to


    attend the wedding reception.  Actually, they are there to meet Hannah as Ari mentioned to them that


    she is there to attend the wedding.  His colleagues were curious about this woman who stole Ari''s heart


    and kept Ari on his toes, pursuing her like crazy even went to Cambodia to visit her every


    month. Finally, they are going to meet Ari''s greatest love, Hannah.  They are amazed by their


    exchanges, the way she carried herself, her work, and  advocacy.  A decent woman that someone can


    be proud to be her man.  Their love story is unique. Ari is so proud and happy.


    On the other hand, Hannah is still processing, hiding on her shell again...avoiding the topic of reuniting


    for the second time.


    Hannah in deep thoughts....Do we have the chance?  Is there really a happy ending to both of us?


    Before midnight, Hannah and her friends left to spend the night at the hotel.  They will leave for Napa


    Valley before sunrise.


    Ari''s POV:


    I wish I coulde and spend those three days with Hannah, but my hands are tied with my


    commitment here and besides I would like to give Hannah some space. I will wait for you Hannah, even


    if it takes a lifetime,e back to me.
