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

Cap 65

How could you have protected them if Auntie didn't even answer your calls ?

Domenico, shocked by what Maya said, looks towards Olga in silence

Domenico: Princess I ....

Maya: Uncle, Massimo, now do you understand what I really meant?

You can't keep secrets from the people you love the most.

By hiding things from them, you don't protect them, you put them in danger and turn them into easy targets for those who wish harm you.

Enemies will never hit you, they will hit the person's that matter the most, the ones you love the most.

Massimo: (with tearful eyes) My miracle but sometimes...

Maya : (taking Massimo's left hand in her little hands) Hey Massimo, I know what you're thinking!

Massimo looks at her in amazement, but without saying a word.

Maya: You fear that you won't be able to protect them, and you think that they would be better, safer, if you moved away from them.

  But Massimo answer me a question:

Can a person live with a  half  heart?

Massimo: (confused) No... I don't understand!??

Maya: When we decide to leave those we love, a part of our heart goes with them, and those we decide to leave also leave a part of their soul when they leave us.

And do you know why this happens?

Massimo: Why?

Maya: Because no one wants to move away. 

So he leaves a part of his heart with those he loves to protect them and be with them.

Medicine has evolved a lot, but not even with all the money in the world, not even the best doctors have discovered how to heal a heart that is broken in two peace's.

So please, promise me that from now on, you will never take the people you love away from you!

You were the one who said that true love heals anything.

It doesn't matter how serious the problems are, when we have the ones we love by our side, we can overcome any obstacle.

I know that "in your world" it's hard for you to trust people, because you don't know who is with you because they really care about you, or are with you to benefit from the advantages offered to them, when they say that they are friends of Don Massimo Torricelli.

And you are right, many will not be with Massimo the Man, they will be with Don Massimo.

But you are not alone, you have us!

Uncle Domenico, Auntie Olga, Matteo, Me and Mommy.

We will always be by your side, never forget that!

Massimo: (incapace di trattenere le lacrime) Grazie, cuore mio!

Massimo: (holding back his tears) Thank you, my heart!

Maya: What are you thanking me for? That's what family is for, isn't it?

Massimo: You are right my wonder! Family comes first no matter what!

Maya: Massimo, can I ask you something?

Massimo: Of course! Your wishes are orders for me! I will fulfill your every wish! Just say it!

Maya: (looking into Massimo's eyes) Can I...can I hug you?

For a few seconds Massimo remains stuck, not knowing how to react. 

He looks at the little one, then at Laura, as if asking for her consent with his eyes.

When the eyes of the two met, it could easily be seen that they had a lot of things to say to each other, but they chose to put all these words in a smile.
