I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 25 Hannah's arrival from Saskat

Hannah finalizes the narratives and filming. The project was long overdue. The delay was due to bad weather and availability of the subjects for the interview. She reviewed the video frame by frame, checked the content, voice over, the coloring, music and synchronization. Then, she sent the draft to her producers. After the short meeting with her team, she started to pack up. Called her travel agent to book her trip to Manila. Jon, her camera man drove her to the Saskat International Airport to catches her flight. It was 10 hours non stop of air travel from Saskat to Manila. She was so worried for Ari and Aaron. She has been praying all throughout the trip. She tried to get some sleep but she just can't. She tried to review the film for the umpteenth time to get busy. Now, its perfect.

Finally, the big bird is now cruising the Philippine sea. The stewardess served breakfast with coffee and tea. Hannah tried to relax a bit. I will be seeing Ari in 2 hours.

At the Manila International Airport.

Hannah exited the arrival tube, went to get her luggage's and looked for Ari from the crowd when two guys held her from behind and directed her to follow their lead. The two guys wore plain white polo shirts. They looked like an undercover detective. The other guy helped her with her luggage's. They proceed to a private room at the airport. Ari was there waiting for her. Ari hugged Hannah so tight. I missed you so much! Thank you for coming to rescue me.

I will always be here for you and Aaron. What is going on Ari?

I don't know the answer myself, Hannah. This is for our protection as Mar told me.

Is there any word from the kidnapper? Hannah asks Ari.

I haven't got anything yet, no calls, no letter or even email or texts. I don't have a clue.

One of the bodyguards received a text message from his phone and told Ari and Hannah that the text was from Gen Santos.

We are instructed to bring you both to the safe house. The General will text you too Sir Ari.

Hannah holds Ari's arm so tight, she seems afraid. What did Mar find out? Why do they have bodyguards? Who are these people behind the kidnapping? Is Aaron still alive? It's been 10 days. Is this a personal vendetta or Ari had a business rival on the plantation? So many questions unanswered.

Gen Mar texted Ari to stay put at the safe house. We are making progress in our investigations. A raid will be executed in 2 days. I wanted you and Hannah to be safe. Cherry escaped this morning and flew to Hongkong. I have more information about her, I will put them all together and will let you know. Meantime, stay in the safe house with Hannah. Your office and house will have some undercover agent watching every move of the staff and employees. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Thank you Mar. We will follow your instruction. By the way, Hannah would like to say Hi to you.

Hi Mar, its been awhile.

Hi Hannah, yes its more than 2 years since I have not seen you. Anyway, I will see you soon. We will have dinner with Jeannette.

How is Jeannette?

She is doing fine, she knew that you're arriving today.

I see... say Hi from me and see you soon.

Yes Hannah, see you soon.

Ari, Hannah and two of the bodyguards left the airport and proceeded to the safe house.

The safe house was clean with few appliances. They only have 2 queen size bed, dining table, microwave and stove. The pantry have a few canned goods, instant coffee, teas and creamer. The bodyguards stayed in the living room, slept in the sofa bed while Ari and Hannah occupied the bedroom. The sheets are clean so the couple we're able to rest in the soft bed. Ari did not stop kissing Hannah. I missed you so much and I am glad you're giving me another chance my love. You will not regret it. I will do anything you want and need. I will treasure you forever. Ari whispered on Hannah's while kissing her neck, face and nape. Then, they fell asleep embracing each other.
