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

Cap 125

Maya: Ma fino ad allora, devi promettermi che non sarai più triste! Lucca si arrabbierà quando ti vedrà così.

Maya: But until then, you have to promise me that you won't be sad anymore! Lucca is going to be upset when he sees you like this!

Massimo embraces the little one with great care but at the same time with strength.

Massimo's thoughts:

Little princess, you can't even imagine what conflicting feelings the promise you just made to me aroused in my soul and mind: "I'll help you find Lucca!"

This simple sentence of yours made me go through Hell and Heaven at once in split of seconds.

I would sell my soul to the devil, I would die without blinking just to know that this would be the solution for Lucca to be alive.

I know that I promised you little miracle that there would be no wish in this world that I would not fulfill to you, but it never occurred to me even for a second that one of your wishes would be to meet your brother!

I hold you in my arms, I look at you and I still don't believe that you are real!

Where did you come from, little piece of heaven?

In less than 24 hours you became the center of my universe.

From the first moment you looked into my eyes, time seemed to stand still.

I can't express what you mean to me! All I know is that I'll set the whole world on fire if I have to to make sure you're safe!

Wait what am I saying?!

I claim that I will protect you, but in these hours since we met, you were the one who protected me!

You have become the light that guides my steps in my world immersed in darkness.

The little girl's voice wakes Massimo up to reality

Maya; Ciao Massimo! Hai detto che eravamo migliori amici, vero?

Maya; Hey Massimo! You said we were best friends didn't you?

Massimo: Certamente!

Massimo: Of course!

Maya: E i migliori amici non hanno segreti.

Maya: And best friends don't have secrets.

Pertanto, penso che tu abbia il diritto di sapere alcune cose.

Therefore, I think you have the right to know some things.

Massimo: Quali cose?

Massimo: What things?

Maya: Come il motivo per cui oggi ho pianto e sono scesa dall'auto spaventandovi tutti.

Maya: Like the reason I cried and got out of the car and scared you all today.

Massimo: Ti ascolto! Quello che è successo?

Massimo: I'm listening to you! What happened?

Maya: Lo so, prima che partissi con la mamma e lo zio Domenico avevi detto che non mi avresti dimenticato, per quanto fossi lontana.

Maya: I know that before I left with Mommy and Uncle Domenico you said that you wouldn't forget me no matter how far I was.

Ma dovevo darti qualcosa per assicurarmi che non mi dimenticassi.

But I had to give you something to make sure you won't forget me.

E dovevo farlo personalmente.

And I had to do it personally.

Massimo: Principessa!

Massimo: Princess!

Maya: Puoi aspettarmi qui per un po', per favore?

Maya: Can you wait here for me for a while please?

Massimo: Certo!

Massimo: Sure!

The little girl got up from the bed and went to the corner of the room where her toys were.
