Chapter 39. Good to be back!
Hey Dad, Mom this way! shouted Aaron.
Family hug.....miss you, Mom and Dad!
We miss you son! So how's everything here? You're in charge, right?
Everythings alright here Mom, Dad.
Glad to know that you're a responsible young man now.
Thank you for the trust Dad!
Welcome home, Sir Ari, Mam Hannah
Thank you Tiong Berto! How's everybody in the house?
All is well Sir Ari, Mam Hannah. Maria cooked your favorite food for dinner. Tiya Lucia sent sweet cakes and Leche flan for dessert.
That's is very sweet of Tiya Lucia, Hannah said, looking at Ari then Aaron.
Aaron busied himself pulling the luggage. Ari did not look at Hannah, pretending not to hear about it.
The family and the household staff, Charlie and Kush share the meal together that night. The couple misses the household staff, the palatable food, happy exchanges, and the laughter. After dinner, Ari had a business meeting with Charlie and Kush in the study.
Hannah busied herself distributing gifts to her staff including gifts to Aaron from his California family.
Aaron's POV
I am so blessed to have a happy family. I will not trade it for anything else.
After an hour meeting with his assistants, Ari called it a day.
Hannah is already in the bathroom cleaning herself when Ari entered their bedroom.
After 10 minutes, Hannah steps out with the only towel wrapped around her body, water dripping from her wet hair.
Ari cupped her face and kiss her hard on her mouth, the towel is now on the floor.
He carried Hannah on their bed and put her under the sheets then went to the bathroom and wash.
Another 15 minutes, Ari is kissing his wife hungrily.
I missed you so much my love, we are so busy for the past three weeks, we don't have time with each other.
I know honey...I missed you too.
They made love like crazy the whole night.
The next morning...Ari kissed her softly on her cheek. Went to the kitchen and make 2 coffees then went back to their bedroom.
Ari playfully put the coffee mug in front of Hannah's nose, so she can smell the aroma. Then, Aaron walks into their bedroom watching his Dad... Dad...let Mom sleep for a while, she's exhausted from the trip.
There you are son....what's up? Need to talk? Do you want to talk in the study?
No, Dad...here is okay!
Dad, I want to go to California and enroll. I think I am ready.
Okay son, did you completed all the documents?
Yes, Dad, your signature is the only one missing.
Son, let me ask you a question! Why did you change your plan and want to go early?
I don't want to waste another 3 months Dad, time is precious. I would like to leave right away.
Are you running away from someone? or something? C'mon son, you can tell me.
I am not running away from someone or something, I would like to learn early to be independent and learned the ropes of life Dad. You both are protecting me, I would like to learn how to protect myself. I would like to be self-reliant and pro-active.
Okay then, I am impressed with your thoughts and plan. I know you will not fail me and your Mom. We will miss you but this is for your future. Request granted. I will discuss your decision with your Mom when she gets up.
I hear you both.....I am proud of you Aaron, Hannah said.
You're awake...now drink your coffee, we have an appointment this morning.
Okay, Mom, Dad...I have to leave your room otherwise Mom can't get up...I think she's naked hahaha, no disrespect Mom hahaha
You brat, I will pinch you later...Hannah yells at Aaron.
Where are we going this morning, Ari?
We are going to see Mr. Carlos San Diego... Charlie got an appointment then tomorrow morning, we have to meet Dr. Sullivan for breakfast.
I have not recovered yet from the trip honey!
I know hon, but we have to get these appointments done so we can plan ahead. By the way, Tiya Lucia sent you another plate of Leche flan this morning. Seen him talking to Tong Berto. Saw Aaron watching the old lady from the patio.
