I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 33. Goodbye Cherry, Rest In Peace.

One early morning at the Davis household...

Mom, Dad I have to leave early for school, we have early activities this morning, I don't want to be late.

Okay, Aaron, drink your milk and finish your breakfast.

Done with breakfast Mom, I got to go...

Your milk, finish it!

Okay, okay Mom, I am too old to drink whole milk in the morning?

No, Aaron, that's good to your bones and teeth, drink up

Mom...please

Drink up, Aaron....Ari said

Okay....done.

Aaron kisses Hannah's and Ari's then ran to the back door.

After breakfast, Ari was preparing for work when Tiong Berto knocks on the bedroom.

Sir Ari, Mam Hannah...there are 2 police officers waiting in the living room. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

We will be right there Tiong Berto, what's going on?

I don't know Sir, Tiong Berto responded.

Good Morning Mr and Mrs Davis!

Good Morning Officers, what can we do for you?

Sorry to bother you both Mr. and Mrs. Davis but we need to let you know that the corpse of Cherry de Villa has arrived and Mr. Ari Davis was the only relative listed on her information.

She died? Hannah asks

How did she die? Ari asks the police.

She died in prison in Hongkong, trying to escape.

She was imprisoned? What are the charges?

Drug trafficking Sir Ari.

Hannah was speechless.

Can you handle the arrangement, Hon? Ari asked Hannah

Yes, I am on it, Hon.

Do you have information about her relatives? parents? siblings? Hannah asks Ari

Unfortunately, I don't have any. Ari responded.

I will ask around.

The body was in the morgue Sir Ari, Mam Hannah.

Please give me at least 2 days to work on it, I need to check her relatives then I will make funeral arrangements.

Hon, I will ask Kush to assist you.

Thanks, Hon..

Ari kisses Hannah's hair and left for work.

After a day of searching for Cherry's relative, Kush and Hannah were so exhausted. Nobody came forward to claim the body.

Hon, I think have to visit Mr. San Diego and asks him.

Bring Kush with you, Hon...I am busy these days, sorry I can't help you.

That's okay Hon!

Kush and Hannah request to see Mr. San Diego has approved right away due to an urgent family situation.

Thank you for seeing us Mr. San Diego, Hannah said.

Mam, anything I can do for you?

Mr. San Diego, I am here with Kush to let you know that Cherry's body was shipped from Hongkong prison. She died from a bullet wound escaping from the police. We need to contact her relatives. Another thing is that...do you want us to tell Aaron?

Mr. San Diego was speechless.

Do you need a moment Mr San Diego?

No Mam...I am thinking about how to answer your questions.

Regarding relatives, Cherry was disowned by her parents and siblings even before we had a relationship. Please don't waste your time. I am begging you not to tell Aaron about his biological mother.

You're his mother Mam Hannah, you're his only mother!

I will sign documents to release her body to you so she can have a decent burial. You're the only one who can do that....you're the only one.

Thank you for your trust. I will start looking for a place to bury her and a mass for her soul.

Hannah was so sad, very very sad....life was so hard for Cherry. Her choices lead her to this kind of life she chooses.

Hannah's POV

I've only met you once, when you told me that Aaron was Ari's son. I was supposed to hate you for ruining our relationship but I can't. I forgive you! In fact, I pitied you. I will always pray for the reposed of your soul. Rest assured that I will take care of Aaron. Ari and I will guide him to be a better person. Thank you for giving him to us. Having Aaron in our life, made us stronger and happy. That was the gift you gave us and I am so thankful and grateful.

Cherry was buried at Home Peace Cemetery. Hannah prayed so hard for the repose of her soul. She was so sad that her relatives don't even want to see her body before the burial.
