Chapter 101. The Ruthless General change his tone
Last Updated:
2021-08-20 08:04:47Ari and I enjoy working together on a project. He always tells me that he treasured our time together, whether for fun or working on a project that we both loved. The grant money changed the landscape of our plan. Ari and I decided to add more facilities for children, like a small playground between the Japanese garden and the lanai. He ordered freshwater colorful fishes like the peacock cichlid, jack dempsey, electric blue acara, and paradise fishes to be added to the manmade lake that is flowing under the lanai. We are creating a paradise for children and adults. I admired Ari's planning and creativity. He always teases me about filing for an early retirement so I can work on the farm. I miss you honey when you're at work... Please reconsider filing for an early retirement. Ari said. I did not respond. How can I tell him that he is suffocating me? Going to work everyday is getting away from his claws, his over protectiveness and public displays of affection. I need time to adjust

One Saturday early morning, around 5 am, 8 vans with 10 sitters each were already parked at the gate. It seems that they are waiting for the gate to open. It's too early. Why are they here? As Arnel was monitoring the security screen, he was alarmed. He instructed Ben, Edwin, and other guards to check the park vans while Arnel allerted Adam and Sam. Sam decided to buzz Ari. They were all surprised when Ben, Edwin, and the other guards went back with smiles from ear to ear. Adam radio Ben... who are those people? Nothing to worry about! It was a surprise visit from Ms Sav's family, including the doctors and other medical staff. We have 75 people waiting for the gate to open. The children were quite upset because they wanted to see their grandmother and they were hungry too. It was too late for the surprise because Ari was in the monitoring room already. Ari instructed Jessica to prepare breakfast right away. Then, he went to greet Sav's family and others, and instructed Sam t

As Boeing 747 joined the friendly skies of San Francisco, California en route to Manila, Savannah was seated beside the window admiring the view inside the aircraft. With a book on her lap, she intends to enjoy the 14-hour non-stop trip. She is going to see her friends from high school, finalize the transfer of her parents' landholdings to her nephews and nieces, and tie some loose ends from her first relationship. Earlier this year, she learned that her ex-boyfriend from many years ago was still hurting and blaming her for his behaviour... He was always on the lookout for a relationship, he never stopped, while he was married for many many years. Savannah thought that she had this huge responsibility to fix it. She didn’t know-how. She decided to have a long talk with Eli. Maybe, just maybe, he would listen to her. She was in deep thoughts, not noticing a guy sitting on the aisle seat.

The aircraft has 3 4 3 seating, and they are seated in 3, so Adam is sitting on 34A, 34B is vacant, and 34C is Savannah. It's okay to move to the vacant seat to whisper and not disturb others, hahaha. Adam moved to the 34B seat. Adam was rejoicing; he felt that his heart would like to get out of his chest. Savannah sounded so relaxed now. I hope we can be friends before the end of this trip. Why not? So what brings you to Manila? I am relocating to Tarlac to help my sister run the sugar plantation. I just retired, you know, so early retirement hahaha.......nothing else to do. I might as well be productive and enjoy the remaining days of my life. And maybe, I can find my soul mate. Permanently?

Ari and I fell, we rose, we made mistakes, we learned. We are both human, and neither of us is perfect. When we got married, I was constantly hurt, both mentally and physically, but I survived. We saw being alive as a precious privilege, and despite the challenges we faced, we learned to breathe, enjoy it, and pursue our dreams. Sometimes there is sadness, but there are also a lot of happy times. We always put our foot in front of the other. We focus on our goal. We are both grateful for our struggle because it has made us stronger as one.Someday, everything will be perfect. So, for now, we laugh while we are finalizing the plan for our farm, our project. As I continue to work full time, he will start to work part time while working on our farm. It may take six months or three months to begin construction, but I am confident that we are on the right track.This project will end up being the biggest step in our lives.
