The Don and the Little Girl
.
"Hide. Run. Don't look back." Primo said. "When you've found a safe place, do your best to live a full life. After this war, I promise to find you. It's a promise never to be broken."
I covered my ears with my pale hands as I ran through the endless halls of this dark mansion. Where am I? Why am I running? What are those loud sounds I'm hearing?
I keep seeing bright lights from the windows as I run. I don't know why but I want to look for someone. I don't even know who I want to see, but I want to see that someone. What am I even thinking?
At the end of the hall, I see... A gate! It's my chance!
I leave the big mansion, and I run to a forest? I can't complain now. The loud noises are getting a bit distant, but they're still loud. My ears are going to shatter at this point. With a loud boom near me, I felt my ears go deaf. Now, all I hear is a continuous ringing sound. Make it stop!
"You heard something?" A deep male voice said. Immediately, I get on the ground on crawl into a safer hiding place. I hid behind some bushes, and stayed low. My [e/c] orbs focused on the small openings of the bush. As I waited and waited, there I saw a couple of men pass by. I did my best to look up to see their faces. Unfortunately, I just saw the view up to their chests. And I noticed that there's some sort of Spade symbol on the long black cloaks they wore.
Even though I have no clue on what's happening, I feel like they're bad news. I waited a few minutes before going for another run.
Why is it that my body knows what to do? I feel like I want to stop, but my body kept on advancing. The sounds of gunshots increase as I moved forward. Just where is it coming from? Damn it, this dress is just so long! I stop for a few seconds and rip most of the bottom part off. Now, they're only up to my thighs. Gosh, I didn't think I'd rip it off that short. The blue dress looks so cute, and fluffy! Such a waste. What am I thinking? Run! Then I ran. I would've removed my high-heeled boots, but the ground has some sparkling objects on it. It may be shards of glass, so I have to be cautious.
Where am I running off to again?
Oh yes, I'm trying to find someone. Someone who I don't even know.
Silence?
I look to my left and saw –besides the trees and bushes– a bright orange radiance. My body decides to head for the light source, my mind says otherwise. Since it's my body deciding to run, I shut my eyes. Surely, I'm to bump someone or something.
And I did.
Not into something, but into someone.
I felt something warm envelop me. I opened my eyes, and realized that a man is holding me. I lift my head, and saw his gorgeous orange orbs. I feel everything around my, disappear.
"[Name]?" he asked. Somehow, the ringing noise in my ear disappears. Then I feel like my spine shiver at his deep and rich voice. "What are you doing here? I told you to stay an–"
"Who? Is that my name?"
"Yes, we've talked about this before I left."
"Where?"
"We're still in the forest. Now, tell me… What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for someone… I think it's you who I'm looking for."
He looked at me, a bit surprised. Then, his eyes softened, and he puts his gloved hand on my [h/c] hair. Then his gloved hand falls down and lands on the higher part of my back. His other hand remained by my waists.
Who is he? Why do I feel comfy with him?
"Your dress… It's your favourite, you know?" he says, tightening the embrace. He places his chin on my shoulder. Should I hug back or something…?
"I missed you." He says.
"Sorry I couldn't visit you the past few months." He says.
"I wish this moment would last longer." He says.
And that's when I decided to speak up. "What do you mean? Who are you anyway?" Then I pushed him away a bit, and then I look into his eyes.
Sadness fills him, and I read it in his eyes. But, his expression remains firm and unreadable to others. "S-sorry. Never mind I asked…" I add, looking away.
"Please don't. Just look at my eyes. Don't avert your gaze."
What..?
I blinked a few seconds, and it took a few seconds to sink in. Once again, I look up at his attractive orange irises.
"Tell me, what do you feel when you look at them?" He says.
"I-I feel a bit… worried and tired. Also, I feel like my heart is hurt, and I want to cry because of the pain. And, I want to… umm…" I feel myself blushing.
"Want to..?"
"K-kiss…"
He smiles and gently puts his soft lips against mine. Even though gentle, he was ravishing me. He was kissing me as if it's his last. Why?
And something hit me. Not literally though.
"Y-you're Primo…" I say after breaking the kiss. "We're currently in war with the Demiri family. But before that war, we're a-"
"Hide. Run. Don't look back." Primo said. "When you've found a safe place, do your best to live a full life. After this war, I promise to find you. It's a promise never to be broken."
I look at him, surprised. Just when all of the lost memories return to me, he wants me to leave?! But, we are in a war. . . And the enemies are strong. There are also a few things I couldn't remember, and understand.
I felt a few tears stain my cheeks, and nod. He pulls away his arms, and walks off. I have to be strong!
Before disappearing in sight, he mouthed three words. "I love you." I smiled, and nod.
For the last time, I ran like the devil was chasing me. I'm sure it was a few days journey, but I just found myself in France. I just don't get why I lost my memories? And a kiss returned it? Mafia life sure is odd.
Luckily, there's a family there who took me in. I had to work to pay off the expenses, of course. I worked as an assistant chef in a simple restaurant.
The first month is such a hard time. I did my best to learn French since not all is accustomed to speaking Italian. The family that took me in hired a tutor just for me! I couldn't believe how hospitable they are. You know, French is a fun language.
Then, months passed. I still kept on thinking about Primo. He's the reason I'm always so eager to wake up early and go to work. I'm thinking of earning a lot of money before returning to Italy. All for Primo, the one I care for the most. I wonder how Primo is.
I waited for Primo.
I hoped for Primo.
I prayed for Primo.
I love Primo.
And this small engagement ring is a proof of our love. As I look at it, I can't believe how I forgot him! It was foolish and embarrassing. Forgetting the man I love the most? Very laughable if you'd ask me.
I trust Primo.
He made a promise that he'll find me. I'm sure he's not going to break it. Never in a million years would he break a promise. It's Primo we're talking about! He'd never break a promise… right?
Well, enough of that. Today, I'm returning to Italy after a year. I've earned a few to get me there, and maybe to start a small restaurant. Yes, I found out that I had a passion for cooking and baking. Maybe I'll bake Primo some cupcakes when I get home! When I think of what to cook or bake for him, I couldn't help myself but blush and giggle. Well, I was about to pull my hair up into a bun then when suddenly, someone knocks on the door. I answer the door.
"Yes?" I ask, smiling at the red-haired man who had many tattoos on his face.
"Are you [First Name][Last Name]?" he asks, glaring at me. I could tell that something bad is going to happen. I braced myself for any possible attacks.
"Yes. How can I help yo–"
"Primo's dead."
Then he lends me a letter, and walks off. I was too startled to react. My hands were shaking as I looked at the white envelope. I open the letter and read its content. It only said a few but it meant so much.
My dearest [Name],
I'm sorry I kept you waiting for nothing. I love you very much, please don't forget. I'll watch you and guide you forever and ever.
Eternally yours,
Giotto di Vongola
