A missing piece... The other half - A Mafia Brothers Story

Chapter 35 - School Festival, part 1

Suki was looking at her 3 older brothers that were staring at her. She didn't know how to interpret their heavy gazes on her.

Suki: Is it too weird? I knew it... I will change of...

Gabriel: (He stood up before she could leave the living room.) No! Not at all! Suki, you're very cute in that dress. Even if I would have love to see you in color, black really suits you. You're perfect like this.

Suki: It's not weird? Really?

Gabriel: No, it's the perfect dress for that event. Father will love it, right brothers?

Gianni: Dad is completely fond of you, so you don't have to worry about the clothes you are wearing... but it looks nice on you...

Gabriel: You see. Gianni is not the type to lie to you, so you can trust his judgement. (She nodded, shyly.)

Dante: It's time to go kiddo, take everything that you need.

Suki: Enzo is not coming?

Gabriel: They had difficulties to wake up, but they should be ready. They are taking Davide's car. (He called them.) Boys! Time to leave!

Heavy steps were heard in the stairs. Vito and the twins arrived, and they were wearing suits. The twins, the ones they bought with Suki, Vito a dark blue one but with a simple white t-shirt.

Gabriel: I see that you all made efforts to be well dressed and on time. Congratulations.

Vito: Your message was clear enough to not let us doubts about what to do.

Enzo: Whoa Suki, you look even cuter than in that shop.

Suki: Thank you, Onii-Chan. You are very elegant in that suit.

Davide: Weren't we supposed to leave?

Gabriel: You are right. Suki... (He offered his hand like gentleman.) Would you give me the honor to accompany you.

Suki smiled with pinky cheeks to her older brother. Davide rolled his eyes at the scene while Dante and Gianni shook their heads. Suki held tightly Gabriel's hand and the group headed to the garage. They separated in two cars and took the road for school.

During the ride to school, Suki listened one last time her partition on her phone. Gabriel looked at her through the mirror and smiled. Gianni was sitting by her side, and he took a quick look at her phone and said:

Gianni: You practiced enough. Try to enjoy the events of the day, before your solo.

Suki: I would have preferred to play first.

Gianni: Concert in the morning, never saw that.

Gabriel: We arrived. (He parked the car in the parking lot usually reserved for the students.) Ready?

Suki: Not really... (She had a little smile to hide her stress.)

Dante: Isn't your friend other there?

Suki: Haru? (She looked in direction of the entry gate.) Yes, he only comes with his mother today, his father is abroad on a mission.

Gabriel: Let's go and greet his mother.

They get out of the car and went to greet Haru and his mother. The three younger brothers were following. They were walking like the kings of the place and when they joined the other members of the family, everyone looked at them.
