Ariana's POV:
"Yes I would like that very much fratello." I said to him excitedly. He smiled and sent me with twinnie to explore the company.
"Let's go twinnie. I will show you everything." We went outside.
"First let's go to papa's office." I said to him. He nodded and we went to his cabin. His cabin was also like Tony fratello's.
"Wow. It's awesome. I also want to have an office like this one day." I said dreamily.
"You will definitely have it one day. You just have to work hard. I believe in you." Twinnie said to me. I smiled and nodded.
"Ok let's go." Twinnie said. We went to the office of Leo fratello. It was beside Tony fratello's.
It was just like their offices. Luxurious. It has a vibe that it is a very authoritative place.
"Wow." We then went to the other places. It was a very great experience. We then went to Tony fratello's office where everyone was still there.
"So how was it?" Tony fratello asked.
"It was great. Your offices are so good. This company is also great. I am very proud to be a part of this family, fratello. I hope one day I can make you guys proud also."
"You already make us proud of you princess. You are very kind and your maturity exceeds your age. We are very proud of you." Papa said.
I smiled at him gratefully. "Thank you papa so much." He smiled.
"Princess never feel like you are not valued or we do not feel proud of you. You are our pride. Our reason to live and stride forward to live a better life." Tony fratello said.
I felt my tears brimming my eyes. He said such an emotional thing.
"Fratello." I immediately went to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back.
"I also want a hug." Alf fratello said and joined our hug. Then one by one everyone joined it and it became a group hug. We all stood like that for some time and then broke our hug. It feels so good to hug our loved ones. A loving hug can sometimes cure all of our loneliness and bring us pure happiness.
"It feels so good to have a group hug." Twinnie said and we all agreed.
"How about we have dinner in a restaurant today?" Ben fratello suggested.
"It's a great idea fratello." I said. Others also nodded.
"Then let's go to our restaurant. Twinnie I will show you around. It's a very famous and popular restaurant. It's owned by Antonio fratello." Twinnie said.
"Really? Fratello you own a restaurant also. Wow. You are so awesome." I said. Tony fratello smirked in satisfaction at others and they glared at him.
"Why are you guys glaring at Tony fratello?"
"It's nothing." Leo fratello said.
"Let's go then. I can't wait to see the restaurant. Wait! Do I have to change?" I asked them, thinking that maybe they have a dress code or something there.
Raf fratello chuckled and shook his head and replied, "no Ari. You are good to go." I nodded and then we went to the parking lot and got into the car.
We reached the restaurant in half an hour. We descended from the car and went into the restaurant. There was a man waiting for us. He was the manager of this place. He led us into the rooftop place where there was no one except us.
It was beautiful. I sat down on the seats and looked around.
"So.." Tony fratello asked.
"It's beautiful fratello." He smiled. We then ordered our dishes and ate with relish. It was delicious.
"Fratello, the food is amazing. It's so delicious. It is my favourite place now. From now on I will come here often."
"Thank you so much princess." Fratello said beamingly. We then went home.
"Guys why don't we watch some movies today?" Ben fratello said.
"Yeah it will be fun." I said. Then we went to our rooms and changed into night wear and went to the theatre room and settled down to watch a movie. It reminded me of the first time when we all were watching the movie. We have come far. It feels like it was just yesterday but it has already been months. Sigh!
Time sure passes by fast when you are living a good life and receiving love from your family. The movie started and time passed by. We watched the movie and then went to our rooms to sleep.
"Good night fratelli." "Good night."
I went to my room and immediately slept as I was very sleepy.
As I was sleeping I heard some noises like someone was talking. First I thought that I was dreaming but then I realised that someone was in my room.
"Good morning princess. Wake up. It's morning already." It was papa's voice and he was stroking my head and trying to wake me up. A smile appeared on my lips. I treasure this moment very much. I like how he always takes me up with so much love and care.
"Good morning papa." I sat up and hugged him. After that I got ready and went to the gym. I haven't missed a day in my training. If I don't have time in the morning then I train in the evening but I train everyday without missing a single day. It was very important so that I can keep up with my training and not waste so much of my time and efforts.
I saw that everyone was there and doing their exercise. I wished them good morning and then went on with my training. I was thinking about searching for some place to practice my shooting skills. It's been some time since I last used guns. I haven't since I left Texas. I have to find a shooting range quickly otherwise I will fall behind.
I quickly finished my training and went to my room to get ready. Today was Sunday so there was no school. I will go to my parents' house today as it has been two days since I have met them. I went to the dining room and ate my breakfast.
"Twinnie, are you going to the uncle's?" They have started calling them uncle and aunty since dad and mom insisted on it.
"Yes, twinnie. Why don't you also come with me? It will be fun." He quickly nodded. They all have come so close together. It feels like a big family. I asked my other fratelli also but they had some work so they denied.
"Papa, why don't you come? You don't have anything to do today anyways."
"Ok princess." Then we all went together. Dad and mom were waiting for us as I had already informed them.
"Hello." Papa greeted them. I went to them and hugged them.
"How are you Ari?" Dad asked.
"I am great, dad. What about you and mom?"
"We are also great. We miss you so much." Mom said tearfully. I know that they miss me because back in Texas we were always together except going to work or school. But now I live here and there, so the time has been cut down.
"Dad, mom, I know that you miss me. I also miss you guys. How about we adopt a pet so that it can keep you guys company when I am not here?" They thought about it.
"But we will have to take care of it very carefully and we also have our university then what will we do?" Mom asked.
"You can leave it at our home. There are many helpers there so they can help you guys or you can keep one of the helpers here if you want." Papa said to them.
"Ok we will look into it." Dad said.
"And besides you are always welcome to our home whenever you want. If you miss princess you can come whenever you want. Don't feel shy about it, ok?" Papa said.
"Ok. I know that. We will keep it in mind." Mom said.
"So when are we going to look for a pet? What kind do you like?" Twinnie asked. Papa shook his head at his hyperness.
Dad smiled. "We will like a dog. So we can go look for it whenever we have free time."
"How about we go today? We all are free." I said.
Dad and mom looked at each other and nodded. Twinnie and I cheered. We quickly went to the car and went to the pet shop that was close to our area. It was a famous shop. Online reviews were very good.
We went into the shop and saw that there were many types of animals. The salesperson quickly came towards us after seeing us.
"Hello, welcome to our pet shop. What can I help you with?" He asked us.
"We want to adopt a dog. Can I ask what we have to do?" Dad asked. The salesperson quickly explained everything to us. We then went to the section where the dogs were being kept. We have to choose from them. We looked at all kinds of breeds.
"Mom and dad, which breed do you want?" I asked them.
"This one." Mom pointed at the small puppy. It was a golden retriever.
"Awww. It's so cute. We should take him." I said to them. Twinnie also nodded. We all decided to adopt him. We completed all the formalities. We also bought all of its stuff that it would need like bed, bowl, food, toys, collar and everything.
We then went home with it. The puppy very quickly adapted to us. It also seemed to like us all. It kept sniffing around us.
"So what should we name it?" I asked. We all pondered on its name.
"How about Milo?" Twinnie said.
"Yes it is a good name. We should keep it. What do you guys think?" Mom said.
"Yes I like it also." I said. Dad and papa also like the name. So we decided to name it Milo as it is a male golden retriever.
"Milo, come here baby. Do you like the name? Hmm?" I said, rubbing him behind his ear. He liked it very much. We kept playing with it for some time. After having our lunch we went back to our home. As we all had some work to do later.
"By the way, mom and dad, why don't you guys come tomorrow to our house with Milo? That way everyone will also meet him." I said to them.
"Okay Ari. We will come tomorrow evening." Dad said. Then we went home.
I went back to my room and searched for some shooting range that I can practice in. It has to be good and safe also. I searched for some time and found a place that was both safe and good. It was a bit far away from here but it will be good. That way no one will see me there. I decided to head there personally and check it out.
So I went to the car and drove it to that place. I went in and went towards the reception and told them that I want to practice shooting. I rented the gun there and tried it out. I felt satisfied with it and went to complete the procedure.
After that I went home. I have decided to go to the shooting range whenever I have time. It was late by now. Everyone must have come back.
I went in the house and saw that no one was there. I was confused as they should have been here by now. I called a maid and asked her. She told me that only twinnie was in his room. No one has come yet. So I went to his room.
"Hey twinnie. Where is everyone?" I asked him upon entering the room.
"They will come late today, twinnie. We should eat and go to sleep. Papa has told me." He said to me. I felt it to be a little bit strange but shrugged it off thinking that they might be busy. We had our dinner and then went to sleep.
