Okay, okay Mom, I am too old to drink whole milk in the morning?
No, Aaron, that''s good to your bones and teeth, drink up
Mom...please
Drink up, Aaron....Ari said
Okay....done.
Aaron kisses Hannah''s and Ari''s then ran to the back door.
After breakfast, Ari was preparing for work when Tiong Berto knocks on the bedroom.
Sir Ari, Mam Hannah...there are 2 police officers waiting in the living room.
We will be right there Tiong Berto, what''s going on?
I don''t know Sir, Tiong Berto responded.
Good Morning Mr and Mrs Davis!
Good Morning Officers, what can we do for you?
Sorry to bother you both Mr. and Mrs. Davis but we need to let you know that the corpse of Cherry de
Vi has arrived and Mr. Ari Davis was the only rtive listed on her information.
She died? Hannah asks
How did she die? Ari asks the police.
She died in prison in Hongkong, trying to escape.
She was imprisoned? What are the charges?
Drug trafficking Sir Ari.
Hannah was speechless.
Can you handle the arrangement, Hon? Ari asked Hannah
Yes, I am on it, Hon.
Do you have information about her rtives? parents? siblings? Hannah asks Ari
Unfortunately, I don''t have any. Ari responded.
I will ask around.
The body was in the morgue Sir Ari, Mam Hannah.
Please give me at least 2 days to work on it, I need to check her rtives then I will make funeral
arrangements.
Hon, I will ask Kush to assist you.
Thanks, Hon..
Ari kisses Hannah''s hair and left for work.
After a day of searching for Cherry''s rtive, Kush and Hannah were so exhausted. Nobody came
forward to im the body.
Hon, I think have to visit Mr. San Diego and asks him.
Bring Kush with you, Hon...I am busy these days, sorry I can''t help you.
That''s okay Hon!
Kush and Hannah request to see Mr. San Diego has approved right away due to an urgent family
situation.
Thank you for seeing us Mr. San Diego, Hannah said.
Mam, anything I can do for you?
Mr. San Diego, I am here with Kush to let you know that Cherry''s body was shipped from Hongkong
prison. She died from a bullet wound escaping from the police. We need to contact her rtives.
Another thing is that...do you want us to tell Aaron?
Mr. San Diego was speechless.
Do you need a moment Mr San Diego?
No Mam...I am thinking about how to answer your questions.
Regarding rtives, Cherry was disowned by her parents and siblings even before we had a
rtionship. Please don''t waste your time. I am begging you not to tell Aaron about his biological
mother.
You''re his mother Mam Hannah, you''re his only mother!
I will sign documents to release her body to you so she can have a decent burial. You''re the only one
who can do that....you''re the only one.
Thank you for your trust. I will start looking for a ce to bury her and a mass for her soul.
Hannah was so sad, very very sad....life was so hard for Cherry. Her choices lead her to this kind of life
she chooses.
Hannah''s POV
I''ve only met you once, when you told me that Aaron was Ari''s son. I was supposed to hate you for
ruining our rtionship but I can''t. I forgive you! In fact, I pitied you. I will always pray for the reposed of
your soul. Rest assured that I will take care of Aaron. Ari and I will guide him to be a better person.
Thank you for giving him to us. Having Aaron in our life, made us stronger and happy. That was the gift
you gave us and I am so thankful and grateful.
Cherry was buried at Home Peace Cemetery. Hannah prayed so hard for the repose of her soul. She
was so sad that her rtives don''t even want to see her body before the burial.
