I will see you in my Dreams novel Chapter 18

Dinner is served.  Ari was busy cutting the steak in Hannah's plate-like before they separated.  He asked for coffee with cream, an additional portion of side vegetable, mash with gravy and avocado shake. Now, eat …its ready, Ari said.  Hannah was speechless and obediently ate silently. 

Since the long table was located in the center of the  venue and facing the guests,  they are looking at Ari how he prepared Hannah's dinner like years ago. Like nothing changed. Some are waiting for Hannah to snap but it never happened.  

Then a little boy popped up from nowhere and squeezed himself between Ari and Hannah.  Everyone was surprised, looking at Ari and Hannah's reaction.   Ari's face turns pale and picks up the little boy then looks at Hannah.  

Aaron this is Auntie Hannah, this is my son Aaron, Hannah. 

Cute little boy you are …so your name is Aaron? How are you ? 

I am not okay because I am uncomfortable with my shirt…..and I am hungry! 

Sorry about your shirt Aaron, I think I've seen you earlier carrying a red box in the entourage. 

Yes, that's me.  I was the ring bearer. 

I see…so you want to eat with me? 

Yes, I would like to sit beside you. 

Ohh okay, you want steak or mash with gravy? 

Mash with gravy please…. 

Ari put a chair between him and Hannah for Aaron to sit down and ask his nanny to get him some mash with gravy. 

Aaron adamantly opens his mouth to Hannah, waiting to get fed. 

Oh okay, I will feed you. 

Ari was so embarrassed for Hannah, but his boy was so upbeat and pushed himself to Hannah's side. 

Finally, the nanny came to take him, but he would like to be seated between Ari and Hannah. 

Alright, sit here between us and I will feed you, Hannah said. 

Aaron shows his wide smile and puts his little head to Hannah's chest, which surprises her and the guests who are watching them. 

Ari was so restless, embarrassed and anxious. He kept on moving from his chair. 

Is this staged?  Chie wonders…. Someone was trying to get Hannah's attention…hmmmm Gie said.  

I think you're right Gie, Minel quips. 

Let us observe what the next move by either Ari or that cute little boy.
