Dante got a call and he immediately receives it
"What! How can you make such a huge mistake" Dante said on the line and cut the call
"Boss there is a problem," Dante said
"What it is" Aless asked
"Our clients didn't reach the city yet it would take them 2 more hours to reach Rome," Dante said
"S**t what we are supposed to do till then" Aless said
"There is a very good cafe nearby want to stop and have some Mocca, " Dante said
"Fine we don't have an option either " Aless said
"Marcus take us to the café Auroma," Dante said
"Yes sir," Marcus said and takes a U-turn
Aless come out of the car and straighten the jacket of his navy blue Brioni Vanquish II suit he is wearing blue shades and looking intimating
Dante and Aless sit in a corner table it is a beautiful café representing ancient Rome the paintings and structure are all pure Italian and the aroma of coffee and pastry is making the surroundings more pleasant.
A young waitress comes to there table and said "hello sir im Dakota your waitress for today what would you like to order"
"I'll just have a Latte " Aless said
"Same" Dante said and Dakota note it down in her notepad
"Your order will be served soon thank you," Dakota said and Aless just nods his head
There is a stage in the middle of the cafe but it's covered with a curtain to restrain everyone to see who is inside.
Suddenly the music of piano seek Aless's attention he can recognize this tune anywhere
"Who is playing" Aless asked Dakota whos right now putting coffee mugs on their table
"Sorry sir it is forbidden to tell, " Dakota said and Aless just hummed
"What happened," Dante asked
"Nothing " Aless replied
It is very tough for Aless to stop himself after hearing that specific piano tune
"I'll just come back from the restroom" Aless said and get up
He goes to the backside of the cafe to find the performer but there is no one on the stage now, so he went inside to the staff area and search for her
"Maybe it was someone else" Aless mumbled
Aless return to his table and after finishing there coffee they left leaving a tip of 200euros note.
Aless is talking on the phone while walking towards his car when he hit someone
The girl fell down on the road
"Oh im sorry" Aless said
"It's okay it is not your fault," She said
Aless noticed the cane beside her and it rings the bell
"Let me help you," Aless said and help her to get up
"Your wrist is bleeding" Aless said and grab his handkerchief from his pocket
While removing the handkerchief from his pocket the locket with Marina's childhood picture fell from his pocket near marinas feet but the bad luck is she is totally unaware about it.
Aless pick up the locket and kiss it before putting it back in his pocket
"Here" Aless said and wrap his handkerchief on Marinas wrist
"Thank you," Marina said
"It's fine," Aless said
"I should go now," Marina said and walk away
"Capo" Dante scream and wave his hand
"Coming" Aless said
Marina touch the cloth wrapped around her wrist and smile
"Humanity is not dead yet " she mumbled
