Double Trouble

Chapter 43

Riccardo

My whole family is really going out for dinner. After 10 years of separation, we really do this. And I'm for the first time since this date just happy. Happy to be finally completely again and the last days were probably the best days since a long time.

The Nes are mysterious but slowly we are able to see a bit trough their walls and it's even more beautiful. Their little interaction in the living room was very amusing. How they tease each other and even the emotionaless uncles chuckled a bit. So normal. We all, including grandfather, had to prevent our laughing. Or another situation, the one while we walked to the restaurant.

Of course, we noticed how they looked around, not just at the landscape, more like observing something. In the mafia you learn how to separate it.

If I'm honest, I was a bit scared. I don't want them to be nervous about something. It's our responsibility to take care of their safety. They should just lean back and enjoy their childhood.

Back to the topic, after the little strange situation followed by the diss about our family which was quite amusing though, and the other strange situation with grandfathers' old friend Mr Ricci, we are now heading to our rented room.

"Here we are. Just wink if you're ready to order. Bella serata!" (Beautiful evening!) Mr Ricci says goodbye and Grandfather orders to everybody instantly to take their seats. Order is important in a family consists out of 37 men and only two woman and one girl.

He self, sits down on the end of the table - the one at the door. On his left Stefano, Ambrose and Apollo and on his right Eduardo, Antonio and Mario. Then it goes from oldest to youngest and often how the interests of each one is, but Alfonso demands to let Neliono and Neliana sit between Elijah, Silvio, Aljio and Fidelio which is a good idea, I think. I want to have them as near as possible. The other end of the table is definitely too far away.

The seating plan to have a better imaging:

Micaela Stefano
Giovanna Eduardo
Apollo Ambrose

Everybody takes a seat, me included after I pressed the button for the shutters to open. The big, blue sea comes into our view and the sun lights up the whole room. It's beautiful. I look away and everybody is sitting down - except our two youngest. Their seats are still empty and after a panicle look around, I found them standing at the big window, staring at the sea.

A smile forms on my face. They look beautiful standing there on the big window with the sea behind them and their eyes glowing. I hear a click sound from my left and turn towards it. It reveals Aljio with his phone in his hand. "We've already missed so much and barely have any photos from them while growing up."

"Maybe they have some. I mean from their past. I'd like to see them growing up." - Alejandro adds happily too.

"Oh, I too. Knowing how they looked like because the difference between four and fourteen is enormous." - Angolo says while still looking at them.
