Everyone has heard of the Godfathers the definitive representation of what it is to be an Italian Mafioso, from the dusty mountainside of Sicily to the posh New York avenues.

Next day i woke up when i heard my alarm. I was having a very bad headache and body was paining a lot. I don't why is my body reacting like this. I decided to sleep for few more hours and skip exercise today.
I again woke up when i felt someone shaking my shoulder. I was really annoyed by this and without thinking twice i threw a pillow at that person. "What the hell Aurora" i heard a familiar voice but i completely ignored it and went back to sleep.
I felt a cold hand on my forehead and i flinched. "Oh shit you're having a fever" i heard someone cursing. But my body was so tired that i couldn't say anything. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
After few minutes i heard few footsteps coming towards me. "You don't have to worry Mr. Lombardi she is just having a viral fever" i heard a male voice. At that time i knew that my brother has called a doctor to check on me.
He is so protective!! The doctor gave some instructions to my brother before leaving which i wasn't in a mood to hear. So its fever, that explains why I feel so lethargic and tired today, I hope it's not something serious like viral fever, I don't want to be sick before such a crucial time of the semester. I need all the energy I have, because I not only had to ace my own exams but also carry Giovanni through his!
After that My brother made me sit and started feeding me chicken soups. After taking few sips i wasn't in a mood to eat more but as we all know that how protective my brother is so i had to drink the whole soup. So should i say i was forced to.
"Here take your medicines " Adriano gave a small white pill which i swallowed it with help of some water. "Take rest and if you need anything let me know " he said. I nodded my head in yes and laid down on the bed. Adriano covered me with a quilt and placed a kiss on my forehead. Then he walked out of the room.
I closed my eyes and after few minutes I fell asleep. I woke up around 4'o clock in the evening. This time i was feeling better maybe due to the medicines.
I stretched my arms and legs like a lazy kitten. The door of my room was slowly pushed open and a blonde lady walked in. She gave me a smile and said "How are you feeling now?" She asks "I am feeling better Mary" i replied. The lady is none other than Emilia's mom.
She is a very kind hearted person. I have heard that my mom and Mary were very good friends and that's how she met Emilia's dad. Emilia's dad is actually my father's right hand man. And Mary was my mom's best friend so she used to visit a lot and soon she fell in love with him. They had a very sweet love story. After mom's death she was the one who took care of me. She is a mother figure for me after mom left us.
I cannot even imagine a life without her, I shudder to think how my life would have turned out without her, I don't think I would have managed to deal with that trauma at such a young age. She really fulfilled her role as a best friend by looking after her friend's daughter, keeping aside her own grief and being so brave and strong for my sake.
