Beautiful like a rose 🌹 but... fragile like a bomb 💣

Cap 11

Unlike me who hates flying, Maya loves this, and she is even more fascinated by airplanes.

Throughout the flight, I speak with Domenico. And we laughed a lot I missed our conversations. I always considered him like my little brother.

The flight was shorter than I expected. Immediately after landing in Sicily, we were taken over by a black SUV.

In one of the SUV's was: I, Domenico, Maya, a bodyguard and the driver, and behind and in front of us were 2 other cars that escorted us home.

As soon as we got to the courtyard of the villa, the car stop. Domenico came down with Maya in his arms. I was just looking out the window, with a huge emptiness in my stomach, and I couldn't believe that after 5 years, I was in this place again. I hear the car door open, and that makes me startle.

Domenico: (holding out his hand to get me out of the car) Do you permit me?

Laura: I get out of the car, leaning on Domenico's outstretched hand, and I realize that my legs are shaking terribly and that I'm not able to keep my body upright.

Domenico: Hey Laura, that's fine. You have nothing to fear. I'm here. Let me help you

Laura: Domenico, no, I don't think I can do that ...

Before I can say anything more, I see Olga running towards me and hugging me tightly.

Olga: (with tears in her eyes and trembling voice) Lari, I missed you so much.

I can't say a word. And without realizing it, I get a hysterical cry that I can't control. All I can do in those moments is hug Oli with all the strength I could muster.

I don't know how long I've been so hugged crying out loud.
I could have stayed like this forever, but at one point I felt a little hand pulling my hand.

Maya: Mommy, mommy what's going on? Why are you crying like that?

I turn my face to my little one, take a deep breath and go down to her level caressing her face.

Laura: My love mom is fine. Nothing happened. You know Mommy and Auntie Olga always cry when they see each other

Maya: That means this are tears of joy, doesn't it?

Laura: Exactly, my dear. There are tears of joy

Olga: What are you doing, princess? You will don't give your favorite auntie a hug?

Maya: (jumping into Olga's arms) Auntie Olga I miss you so much

Olga: I missed you too, little doll.

Maya: Auntie , thank you very much for the surprise from the hotel. Was very beautiful. Especially the sweets were delicious (laughing)

Olga: I'm glad you liked the surprise, my dear
Matteo: (running in Domenico's arms)
Papà, papà, mi sei mancato (Daddy, Daddy, I missed you)

Domenico: (kissing Matteo on the forehead ) Anche tu mi sei mancato, campione. Dimmi: sei stato bravo? Ti sei preso cura della mamma e non le hai fatto arrabbiare quanto papà mancava?
(I missed you too, champion. Tell me: Were you good? Did you take care of your mommy and don't upset her, how long has dad been away?

Matteo: Papà, tutto quello che sai è che sono il miglior ragazzo del mondo (ridi)
Ovviamente mi sono presa cura della mamma. Mentre tu e zio Massimo non siete in casa, io sono l'uomo di casa . Quindi mi sono occupato di tutto. Non preoccuparti.

(Dad, you know I'm the best kid in the world (laughs).
Of course I took care of Mommy. While you and Uncle Massimo aren't at home, I'm the man of the house. So I took care of everything. Do not worry)

Olga: Domenico, Matteo In English please.

Domenico: My little boy grew up. I'm proud of you, champion
Look who I brought you

Matteo: Maya ,Auntie Laura, how glad I am to see you. I missed you. I hope you stay longer this time

Laura: How big you grow my love. We'll stay a few days.

Matteo: Yuppy ... (taking Maya's hand) Maya, come on, let me show you the house

Matteo and Maya walk away from us, running, holding hands

Laura, Olga, Domenico: Be careful, kids , don't run, you'll fall!
