I will see you in my Dreams

Ari fell on his knees, uncontrollable tears falling from his eyes.  He doesn't know what to do.  He is angry at himself and at a loss. He respects Hannah's request not to contact her.  He knows where Hannah is ….  Survivor's Home at Phnom Penh Cambodia – city of  the Brahma's faces.  He goes there every month just to glance at her from a distance.  Sometimes he brought Raul with him.  There are months that he brought Ava and Abner, then Leslie and Patrick.  One weekend trip with Ava and Abner, they followed Hannah and her colleagues in one of the restaurants for lunch.  Hannah notices that there are a couple of tourists following them.  She kept looking at her back so Ari decided to change the route and Ava ended up facing Hannah.  They said Hi to each other, she said that she is travelling with Abner and got lost on the way to their hotel.   They chatted for a while, then Hannah had to get back to the shelter with her colleagues.  They did not talk about Ari. 

She looks pale and thinner, Ava said.  Her eyes are sad and no life at all.  Hannah said that she is in the process of healing and she will be alright in time. Her job keeps her on her toes.  Ava hugged her so tight and said goodbye. Ava is walking in trance, crying.  Abner and Ari are misty eyed. Ari kept on staring on the wall, tears falling from his face.  He misses Hannah terribly.  He curses himself for the predicament she is into, for disturbing her life, her peace of mind.  He loves her dearly, she is his great love.  He is paying a huge price for his colored past, his vagabond life. I don't know until when I can survive this life without her.  

Phnom Penh is known as the Pearl of Asia, it is considered as the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina, along with Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, considered as the domestic tourist destination of Cambodia.  They have historical architecture and attractions.  Ari thought that maybe this place will help Hannah to heal.  They have good food, music and arts. She is into creative arts, photography, and writing.
