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.
Some choose to leave the fatherland for greener pastures; some turn the du...

I woke up as per my usual schedule due to habit, although I didn't need to because today, I won't be going to school.
Today Emilia and Giovanni would be coming over to my house to start the first round of prep and getting all the necessary items for the same.
Since I had extra time in hand, I thought it would be well spent in exercise. Afterall, I needed my body and mind in sync so that I can function.
I finished my morning routine and wore neon-coloured tracksuits and headed for a 10 km jog post that I changed into my swimsuit and swam for close to an hour in the pool.
I took a shower and wore a black hoodie and black leggings and went down for breakfast and post breakfast with my brother I sat on the couch waiting for my friends.
My brother was about to pick up his office bag and head for office when he saw me relaxing on the sofa in casuals. "Don't you have school today?" he asked "Umm no, sorry I forgot to inform you but I will be staying home and working for the fyre festival prep,its really important and I don't want to mess things up." I spoke.
"All the best I hope you get the job done. Also, I apologise for not having celebrated your victory in the election I promise we will have a big party soon" my brother said.
"Its alright I managed to celebrate with my friends you don't have to fee guilty" I assured him. "Don't get attached to things very early because future can surprise you" my brother said and hugged me before heading for work.
I realised what he was hinting at through his cryptic wise words. I know he hasn't fully accepted Giovanni yet and he would need more time to come around. He wants me to be careful and not end up getting hurt.
After some time, Emilia and Giovanni arrived and my mind drifted towards work and I didn't overthink my brother's words too much. After all overthinking will only make matters worse.
We sat on the couch discussing when the bell rang. I ran to open the door and it was Luca.I greeted him and ushered him towards the living area where all of us were seated. "What the hell is he doing here?" Giovanni said and looked agitated on seeing Luca.
"No need to be angry, he is also our friend and I feel he would be a great addition to our team, so I called him here" I said. Luca also chimed in "let this be a way to repent for all the wrong I have done, I am tired of carrying it in my heart" Giovanni loosened up a little and agreed that lets begin afresh leaving all the old memories behind.
Emilia suggested we head to our room and once in our room the maid also got us some snacks and we continued working there. A few hours had passed and the room was a mess strewn away with papers with ideas and sketches but nothing seemed to be working out we were still at square one yet to make any meaningful progress I was really frustrated and wanted to tear away my hair in anger.
