Massimo: Laura, please, what's wrong with you?
She's just a child. You can't talk to her like that.

Laura: Massimo, I'd thank you if you didn't interfere!

At that moment Domenico and Olga run to the place where the 3 were.

Olga: (holding Laura's hand) Lari, please control yourself!

Taking advantage of the moment Laura turns her gaze to Olga, little Maya lets go of her mother's hand and runs to Massimo hugging him.

The little girl  gesture leaves everyone speechless.

Massimo POV:

In a split of a  second, Maya lets go of Laura's hand, and before I know what happens, I feel two small hands hugging me.

The next second instinctively I lift the little one in my arms, and she grabs her little hands by my neck, hiding her face on my shoulder.

In those moments I feel something I could not describe in words. I've never felt this way before.

An inexplicable shiver runs through my whole body, my heart seems to want to jump out of my chest, and my eyes instantly fill with tears.

I felt ... I have no idea how I felt...

All I knew was that I was willing to do anything in this world just to wipe away her tears and see that pure smile on her angelic face again.

I hug her tightly but at the same time with the biggest care, trying to calm her down.

Massimo: Piccola principessa, per favore non piangere più? Calma per favore!

Massimo: Little princess, please don't cry anymore? Calm down, please!

Maya: (sospirando) No, non voglio...

Maya: (sighing) No, I don't want to ...

Massimo: Ehi angelo, mi guardi per favore?

Massimo: Hey angel, are you looking at me please?

Maya: (sospira) No, voglio che tu mi veda così.

Maya: (sighs) No, I don't want you to see me like that.

Massimo: Allora come?

Massimo: So, how?

Maya: Piangendo .... Non voglio che pensi che io sia un bambino.

Maya: Crying ... I don't want you to think I'm a baby.

Massimo: Ehi piccolo miracolo, ti fidi di me?

Massimo: Hey little miracle, do you trust me?

Maya: Certo 

Maya: Of course

Massimo: Puoi guardarmi per favore?

Massimo: Can you please look at me?

Maya lifts her head from Massimo's shoulder and looking directly into his eyes .

Laura approaches them, wanting to take Maya from Massimo's arms.

Laura: My love, come to mommy!

Maya: I don't want to!
What's up with you ?
I do not recognize you anymore ?
You never yelled at me.

Laura: I'm sorry, baby, I didn't mean to!
What can I do to forgive me?

Maya: Can I ask you anything?

Laura: Anything.

Maya: I don't want to leave.

Laura: Maya, please understand, we have to go. Don't you miss home?

Maya: I don't want to leave, I don't want to!

Laura: We'll be back, I promise.

As Laura tries to grab Maya from Massimo's arms, the little girl begins to cry even harder, clinging to Massimo's neck.

Maya: Per favore Massimo! Non voglio andarmene, non voglio!

Maya: Please Massimo! I don't want to leave, I don't want to!

Massimo: Principessa io...

Massimo: Princess I ...

Maya: (guardando Massimo negli occhi) Hai detto che eravamo amiche. Non hai mentito, vero?

Maya: (looking in Massimo's eyes) You said we were friends. You didn't lie, did you?

Massimo: Certo che siamo amici.

Massimo: Of course we are friends.

Maya: Non capisco...
Vuoi che me ne vada?

Maya: I don't understand ...
Do you want me to leave?

Massimo: Certo che no!

Massimo: Of course not!
