I will see you in my Dreams novel Chapter 41

Ever since Aaron left for California, Ari works fewer hours every day. He spends more time with his wife. He taught her to play golf, they walk every day, watch a movie on Netflix every other day. Aaron's absence makes them more closely with each other. They both treasure their love and put more attention to each other.

One morning, Ari received an email from his cousin Stanley inviting them to travel with him to Italy. Ari said Yes and started to delegate works to his two assistants.

I am so excited for this trip Ari. I met your cousin Stanley many years ago. He was so sweet, very attentive to me when we had lunch in Cambodia. We spent a day together. I showed him great places and good food. It was fun. He was so concerned about our situation.

I am excited too. He admired your strength and courage when we part ways. He even traveled from Italy to Cambodia just to see and comfort you. To be honest, I was so jealous because he was able to spend time with you and I was not. You don't want to see me.

You're jealous? Really?

Yes, I was so jealous, I can't do anything about it.

What about now, still jealous of him?

Not anymore, you're mine already. I will love you forever wifey!

Me too hubby, I will love you forever.

By the way, Stanley said that we are going to Naples, Mt Mount Vesuvius, and San Marzano. He will show us the famous fried small calzone, they called fried pizza. He will show us authentic tomatoes grown in San Marzano. Also, the place to meet the oldest makers of mozzarella. How's that for starters?

Wow, I am speechless.

Me too, Stanley is so nice to show these places to us. He told me that he cared for you and there was a time that he would like to snatch you away from me but he doesn't want to destroy our love and our destiny......

Oh really, he did not ask me though! Hannah teases Ari.

Huh, you're waiting for his proposal?

I am teasing you hubby hahaha

Ari continued....he felt that you loved me and he doesn't want to go between us. He was so happy when we get back to each other.

You've been communicating with him? I didn't know.

I don't mean to hide it from you! I forgot to mention it, maybe because I am still jealous! He was the only person who got close to you when we got separated...... he told me that he was very interested. He doesn't want to put a wedge between us cousins, so he walked away. I admired his self-sacrifices and cared for our family relationship.

I remembered, he got married already, right?

Yes, he married a colleague in business. We will meet her when we reach Italy in two weeks. She will travel with us.

That's great! I am so looking forward to this trip hubby!

Me too wifey!

Actually, this is long overdue. I become so busy with mergers, acquisitions, and business expansion. Sometimes, I felt that I neglected you when we are raising Aaron.

No Ari, you did not. I was busy too in my advocacy that you supported financially. I am so content with our life, our directions, and our goal..... raising Aaron and the business expansions.

My friends asked me sometime in the past, how did I manage to juggle my time. Maybe, my training, working with East Indian workmates and mostly European colleagues helps a lot. I got it from them to work hard, set goals and watch out for deadlines. I don't complain a lot, I always go for options to get the job done.

I know my dear wife, you've helped me a lot in our business ventures, you always checked the numbers. Your support keeps me going. You don't complain if I worked many hours in the office then continues in my study. You're always there to bring me caramel macchiato coffee and tea sandwiches. Yael said that our teamwork is perfect but he told me to give you time to relax and enjoy our time together.

That's Yael...I know he loves me!

Not only he loves you wifey, but he also adores you for making me happy.

Aweee, you're so needy...
