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

Cap 53

A fierce battle between my reason that kept repeating to me:

"What are you doing? Don't get attached! Think clearly! It's crazy! Soon she will leave. What's the point of hurting yourself? Control yourself, dammit! "...

And on the other side is my heart, my soul. (however ironic it may seem, I really have a heart, a soul).

Little human , what have you done to me?

What spell did you cast on me?

From the first moment you looked at me, I felt that the world stopped.

When you put your little hands around my neck and hugged me you brought me back to life.

I've known you for less than 24 hours, but it's like I've known you forever.

It scares me what I feel now!

When I saw you walking away in your mother's arms with tears in your eyes, I felt as if someone had stuck a dagger in my back.

As if a piece of me had come off, leaving me incomplete.

The moment I heard your mother's voice on the phone, begging me to come because you need me, I felt my heart stop, and for the first time in my life, I was about to have a panic attack.

The simple thought that something could happen to you makes me lose my mind.

In these moments I watch you sleep like an angel in my arms, and I try to control my own breathing so as not to wake you up.

I don't know what I did to deserve these moments with you, I certainly don't deserve them, but I promise you,  my little miracle , that from now on I will hold your little hand every moment as you hold mine now.

I will do everything absolutely everything for your safety, even that would mean going to hell and back millions times.

Massimo looked at the little one , silently trying to fully understand those emotions that took over him, from the moment he saw Maya for the first time.

The driver's voice, which announced that they had reached home, suddenly awakens him to reality.

Massimo covers the little one with his jacket, and gets out of the car, very carefully, not wanting to wake the little one up.

Meanwhile in the car where Laura, Olga and Domenico were...

Olga: Lari my dear, please calm down!

It will hurt you if you don't stop crying!

Laura: (crying) God, how could I lose my temper and react like this in front of my child?

How could I?

This has never happened to me before.

Now even my own child will hate me!

Domenico: Sister-in-law, hey, don't talk nonsense!

How can Maya hate you?!

We all lose control sometimes.

And besides, children forget very quickly.

You will see that tomorrow she will not even remember all this.

Soon the 3 arrived home.

But Laura could not calm down.

She walked from one side of the living room to another, waiting for Massimo to appear with Maya.

Olga: Lari, calm down, you know that as long as she is with Massimo, our doll will be safe.

Laura: But...

Olga gets up from the couch, goes to Laura, puts her hands on both of her shoulders, forcing her to look into her eyes.

Olga: Hey breathe! Please take a deep breath!
