Dizzy.

I've been feeling lightheaded lately.
Probably because of recents events.

The crying stops then comes back again, my head hurts and when I think I dried all the tears they come back again.

The thing is, I don't cry for my parents.
I think I've done that ever since they left me in Italy, I guess I somehow make amends with that fact that I won't see them again a long time ago.

But what hurts was the treason, it may sound exaggerated.

I did consider Catalina and Don Severino my family.
They were there for me, gave me an education, a home to stay, they welcomed me with open arms, treating me as if I was their own blood.

They lied to me, everyone did.

That's what hurts me, I don't understand why they kept it a secret.
They could've told me, I would've definitely cry at that moment, but I wouldn't blame them.

Senio told me what happened that night, how Massimo was ambushed, he stayed in the hospital for a while, everyone's was worried he might not make it.

Even Senio blamed himself at the time, he was the one supposed to go to that meeting.

It was a reaction to the situation, I understand that.
things like that happen in this lifestyle.
It can happen at any moment and you have to react or else you're gone.

But to keep it a secret, thats what hurts me.

They lied , for years.

" Principessa, la cena è pronta"
Marianos voice cuts through my thoughts.
(Princess dinners ready)

"Oh!" I turn to look at him, I'm sitting on the couch watching a movie, well at some point at least.

I go to stand but my body didn't seem to carry me, stumbling a little Mariano rushes to my side to brace me.

"stai bene principessa?" concern evident on his tone.
(Are you okay princess)

I straightened up " si Mariano, non preoccuparti, mi sento solo un po' stordito"
My voice sounded weak, but he doesn't say anything and we both walked to the kitchen.
(Yes,don't worry I just feel a little lightheaded)

He helps me to seat on the island high stools.
Once I was seated he goes to get dinner.

"ha un profumo delizioso" I tell him .
(Smells delicious)

His face brightened at my compliment,
"Grazie principessa" he puts the plate in front of me and my mouth waters at the sight.

Fresh out of the oven Mariano's specialty, penne pasta, it might sound basic, but it's the most delicious pasta I've ever tried, it even beats Senios, Mariano uses certain herbs that make the cream sauce taste delicious, I've asked bien what does he put on it but his answer it's always the same, it's his nonna recipe, and he won't share it with anyone.
