...
At night Aless is in his room lying on the bed
'Mom always wants me to marry her best friend's daughter Diana but for me, Diana is just a good friend who accompanies me in different events I don't have any feelings for her neither I've ever try to touch her but I know what Diana feels for me she has confess her love for me many times but I made that clear that I'm not interested in her
I don't usually have relationships since teenage every girlfriend of mine stick till three days
I very well know the reason behind all of this but I'll never accept it I still crave for my tiny butterfly my lafarfalla
I know she is not little anymore she would be so gorgeous and beautiful now I wonder how will she react after seeing me now with her beautiful brown eyes
Where are you I'm craving for you my sweetheart ' Aless thought and grab the locket with Marina's childhood picture and hug it
He fell asleep while hugging the locket on the other hand Marina is wondering about her future
'We never know what tomorrow feels like what faith has stored for us My life was never simple I lost my father at a very young age I always wonder why Mumma didn't remarry she was beautiful and young she is still very beautiful but the situation drain all her glooming skin she looks sick.
I still remember once I ask her why she didn't remarry she smiled at me and said "when we love someone purely that person always stay in your heart and your father is still alive in my heart" I think this is the reason of my sleepless nights there is someone in my heart my protector my Aless I know I'll never be able to see him again but I wonder how he looks like now I'm sure he is handsome he must have so many girlfriends now what if he is already married well I wish him good luck for his future ' Marina thought with tears in her eyes she went to play piano to soothe her aching heart.
Tears are still flowing from her eyes and landing on piano keys she can feel the wetness of her salty liquid on her soft fingertips while pushing the keys.
In his dream, Aless can feel the music which Marina is playing it is his favorite tune he smiled in his sleep and mumbled"my tiny butterfly".
