With a heavy heart, he spoke in a pensive tone, " Aria you know, there is a well-known saying that goes, 'When everyone envies you, there must be someone who adores you.' To find that person, you must be discerning and perceptive, recognizing the right individual, regardless of whether it is the most opportune time."
"Rico, I find it hard to believe when someone says 'I love you' because, in my heart, I fear it may be a trap."
"You're believing in words, not actions. Start doing that and see the change," he said while snapping his fingers. She chuckled.
"Aria, I was wondering how you feel about our interactions. When we talk or interact, do you feel comfortable or is there anything that makes you uncomfortable? I want to make sure that our conversations are positive and enjoyable for both of us." he asked, with a concerned tone.
"Hmmm... so you want to hear your praise," she said. They both chuckled as she continued.
" It feels like I have a companion, a true friend who's always there for me. Someone who listens to my rants and calls me out when I make mistakes. You know what Rico, I've been feeling pretty lonely lately."
" It seems like everyone I meet just hates me, even my mother. It's tough when you're looking for a reason to get up in the morning when you want someone to hold you, or when you wish you had someone to share your feelings with."
"I want to find someone who adores me, like in the books. Someone who loves me so much that I can't help but be obsessed with them and myself. But, I have to admit, I may have set my expectations too high. I never want to fight with my partner after falling in love. I don't want my children to see us fight and wish they weren't a part of it," a tear fell from her eyes.
"You can't just call me your friend," he spoke, his voice deeper than usual.
"So should I call you honey?" she teased him.
"Daddy seems better," he replied and she hit him with her elbow.
After a minute of silence, he spoke again.
"I understand, Cuore Mio. Please share everything with me. I want to be your diary, a place where you can write down all your secrets and they will remain between us." He hugged her tightly, allowing her to let go of everything that was troubling her. She started to sob and hiccup, and he comforted her until she felt better.
"Rico, there are so many things that happened I don't want to remember the only question I want to know is 'What is happiness?'."
" Aria, I may not be able to explain the real meaning of happiness to you, but I can make you experience it. I promise that by the end of our journey together, you'll have a better understanding of what true happiness is," he whispered as he gently kissed her forehead.
"May I ask you something?" he inquired politely.
"yeah sure go on."
He gazed at her intently, a quizzical expression etched across his face.
"Why fall in love with someone you haven't even met?" he asked, his voice tinged with a hint of confusion.
Despite his skepticism, she remained unfazed, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. She held his gaze, knowing that this question would inevitably come up.
"Sometimes you end up believing the wrong people as your saviors," she replied.
