Last Updated:
2021-07-24 02:29:00Everyone was scrambling to take their seat in the conference room. The meeting will start in 5 minutes. It's either they are curious how Savannah de la Lucca will respond to their request or is she worthy to be called Mrs de la Lucca.
All the teams are now seated, including Ari and Savannah in the front seat. The moderator started the meeting by thanking Gen Ari for allowing Savannah to attend the meeting.
Good Morning everyone...thank you all for the complete attendance. We need to keep this meeting going as fast as we can because our guest will leave this morning. I would like to introduce and say thank you for granting us your time this morning...Mrs Savannah de la Lucca.
Savannah: Good Morning and thank you for having me. I would like to start by thanking all of you for a job well done. Yes, we have to leave before lunch, so I need to know what you have so far for the phase 2 plan.
Everyone was silent.
Savannah took a white board marker and dre

Ari's POVI was so proud of you Sav, you're a closer. I am sure that my team will accept and admire you more. When the news about our marriage surfaced in the office, there's a lot of questions on their minds, even my fellow colleagues if you can live up to their expectations. I don't care if you can't, what matters most to me is that I loved you. But I guess it was normal in the office setting that kind of opinion. They have been very protective of me ever since. When they realized that I don't care about their opinion about you, they kept quiet but I know that they are looking for some negative feedback on you. That is why I would like to protect you but now, you quiet them. I was laughing out loud. Yes, we can do this project together, meaning you have to come home to me very often.Back to the meeting...Elise: It's personal, I will call when you're in SF. Sav, going back to Brahma...congratulations on a job well done. Dr. Wang was so pleased and he wants yo

Adam, you've been drinking a lot lately. You need to move on for the sake of Uncle Ari. Susan said. I am moving on Susan, but sometimes I felt so sad, that's why I drink. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for both of them. I have seen how happy Uncle Ari with Sav. He showered her his love and care. Sav was so happy too. Seen her eyes sparkle especially when Uncle Ari proposed at the Butterfly Farm. He knew how to get to her heart and pleased her. I admired them, the love they shared especially Uncle Ari who waited for decades. I wish I can find another Savannah to love Susan. I will help you find one but no rush, Okay! Susan responded. By the way, we have to prepare for the upcoming festival. I need your help in finding photographers and videographers. We have at least 20 films to screen in 2 days. Can you do the Q and A after the screening? Susan asks. Adam: Yes, I can handle the Q and A portion, I need the synopsis or treatment of each film so I can cr

Ari's POVIt was hard to get up in the morning, not seeing my wife beside me, not embracing her the whole night. My heart aches; I miss her so badly. I am not content with facetiming and phonecalls every day. I couldn't even eat, not thinking if she had her meal already. I have to plan. I can not live like this anymore. I have to join her in California. I can retire at anytime, and I was due to retire five years ago anyway. I requested an extension because I need to contribute to this country using my community-building expertise and keeping peace and order. This time, I have to prioritize my wife and my relationship. I can not afford to lose her. She is my life now.In the office...Is the general comi

Adam tried to call Sav. He dialed numerous times, but she did not pick up. He decided to text her. She texted back. I will be okay Adam. I need space. Please don't call me.Savannah received numerous texts from her friends, their common friends, but continued to ignore them.For two days, she did not talk a lot, even to Naomi. She tried to eat to nourish her body, but very little. She just takes coffee the whole day and water.That night, Naomi woke up in the middle of the night. She heard soft sad music coming from the living room. She tiptoed and saw Savannah playing the piano in her nightdress. The melody was so sad, it was like saying goodbye.

Meeting with my wife's primary doctor and attending physician was a relief. No damage physically or mentally. She will wake up very, very soon. I want her to see me first when she wakes up. I will stay in her room until that time. Day 1 Ari keeps on holding and caressing Savannah's hand, kissing her on her cheeks and brushing his lips against her lips from time to time.

Ari 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

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.
