I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 46. Happy Together

Mangiardivino in Tuscany.

Ari and Hannah decided to learn Italian cooking, Tuscany style at Mangiardivino where the cuisine is enhanced. It's the perfect way for the couple to cook and learn together. Their instructor was Chef Fabrizi. They learned dining, wining and relaxing while savoring the exquisite food they learned to cook. They explored Tuscan tradition, vegetarian and vegan, flavor of the forest, flavor of the sea and a couple of a la carte menu. It was an exhilarating experience.

They also joined the guided walking tours and learned sketching and drawing in the specular nature in Serchio Valley. They walk in picture postcard Tuscan hill-top towns and ancient villages and amazing scenery around Barga and the Garfagnana using a series of ancient footpaths. They took mountain routes in the Apuan and Appenine Alps.

I have never been happier Ari, this trip is so awesome.

We have more places to cover honey, I want you to be happy. You've sacrificed a lot for our family, this is not even enough. The next trip will be to Switzerland and Ireland. I know that you would like to go there too with your friends. Call me selfish but I want to travel with you only. You've been traveling with them for many many years...now it's my turn.

They will understand Ari, I am sure of that.

By the way, did Annie discuss with you about the bed and breakfast in Wisconsin? They want us to invest a little. It's our group project to own one.

If you want honey we can invest but you have to check first the P and L before shelling out money.

Yes, of course...I know how it works. I will call her when we get back and will ask for the documents.

Hannah's POV

Everything happens for a reason. We've been through a lot inside this marriage, happy, and sad moments. What matters now is the love and devotion we have for each other. How we faced all those struggles and challenges that almost separate us.

There's an old saying that we don't meet people by accident, there's always a reason behind everything. I met Ari when both of us was not ready for any romantic relationship. Then, when we thought that we are ready, we got separated.

When destiny noticed that we are not giving up, we persevere, we have the courage to hold on....our path cross again. After two and a half years, destiny brought us back again. We learned our lessons in life. We lived our lives as it goes, no rewind just forward. Like the old saying, try to live like a river, it never goes reverse, forget the past, focuses on the future. No matter what happened in the past, we learned to move on. Our relationship will not only be sweet, sometimes it's bitter but the most important thing is we know to face it. Ari and I decided to always look in the same direction, and find a solution to make it work.

Care to share your thoughts, Ari whispers on Hannah's ear while kissing softly her cheeks, moving softly as both arms wrap around Hannah's waist.

I was just thinking that you've been the perfect husband since we got married, I can't complain, you love me in any way possible, you even supported my advocacy to make me happy, Hannah said. I cannot ask for more.

Hannah, I will love you and dote on you for the rest of our lives, I will give you what you want ....Ari swore to his wife while kissing her softly on her lips.

Ari's POV

Everyone cannot have a happy life, there are always ups and downs. I learned the lessons at the worst times and from my worst mistakes. I created bumps on my way. Challenges and bad times are always in the mix. Money and fame are secondary if we have our loved ones beside us, supporting us in every way. We can achieve everything we wish for in life. My wife has been my great live support. She is always there for me. Our story is unique, our journey is not easy but because of our love for each other, we achieve more than we expected. Life is simple when we married the right person. I love her, I just love her with all my heart.

After their much celebrated and simple wedding many years ago, the dream everynight stopped, because they believed that its their destiny to be together.

Due to Ari's and Hannah's hard work and effort in expanding their business locally and abroad, the couple was awarded the Power Couple title, and to celebrate the achievement, they arranged for an event with their employees and family members. As promised Ari brought Hannah to Switzerland and Ireland for a month-long vacation. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
