Hiking day today. On to the hilly slightly mountainous Mt Telakawa, located at Capas, Tarlac. The mountain has natural resources and forest products. We pass by fruits and vegetables plantation, fire logs, sand, rocks and forest animals such as wild boar and deer. It is interesting hike, informative and refreshing.
By the way, Ari ask if we can have dinner, just the two of us tonight.
By all means Hannah, we are all adults here….be careful not to get pregnant. Everyone were laughing. I read it somewhere that a post-menopausal baby can still be conceived ……..laughter laughter and laughter.
Hannah is blushing with embarrassment.
By 4pm, Ari pick up Hannah. The group are somewhat happy and concerned. Is this really happening? Is this the last day of their love story. We are all leaving soon and Ari lives here in Tarlac. Will this story end tonight or will continue, but how will this continue? This is a long-distance affair, at this age of retirement. Is this still possible in the now days? The group are all concerned with Hannah's state of mind after today. Hannah is like a sister to all of them. Ari professes his love, but what is his plan. He is good looking, divorcee, stable, and educated. Young girls are lining up to catch his attention, as Jack
mentioned in the past with the guys. Jack and Sam too are worried about it. There are times when Ari was uncontrollable, dating here and there, younger women, even students. One thing for sure, Ari always told them about his dream of Hannah, his true love. Will this relationship survive when temptation are everywhere.

I am dreaming of travelling to Tuscany with him, to Switzerland, to Italy, to London and Ireland. Those are the places on my bucket list though I can travel with my friends but its differenct when I travel with Ari. The enjoyment I would like to share with him, my life, my everything. Please give us a chance to make it Lord. Please take away my worries.
