Adriana's Pov
"so you're trying to say that, I was near death but I woke up like nothing happened?" Adriana said with a frown on her face and Maya nodded her head " it doesn't sound possible," she said again whilst staring at Maya,
"well your parents were so happy and no one cared but..." Maya spoke and paused to check if Adriana's countenance, repeatedly her heart asked if this was the right choice if it was up to her, she wanted to tell her everything
"but what?" Adriana asked impatiently "..... but when your parents moved abroad Mia came to see me...." she paused again and continued "Mia is Aria's mom, she was the only one with you the day you recovered and she told me someone healed you but she wouldn't tell me more...."
"my parents didn't know about that...." she said as a matter of fact ".....why?"
"well, Mia said they can't know and the only reason why she told me is that she wanted my powers to locate the person" silence loomed over the store, Adriana looked confused and Maya carried a warm smile over her face,
"did you locate her?" Adriana looked at Maya and asked after some time "no I didn't but Mia has been traveling all these why since then, she believes she will find the person somehow"
"I'm tired," Adriana said with tears pooling in her eyes, Maya stood and sat close to her, consoling her "there there, it's not like we can't try again but I need you to know what you want to do"
"I want to stay here in Aventino and forget about everything but I feel selfish by thinking about it, I also want revenge but I don't know how," She said after some time "there's no need to think how we are all here to help you, I can get spells done, you've got connections with the mafia too, so don't think too much, just don't forget whose daughter you are"
Adriana raised her head from Maya's shoulders and looked at her, wiping her eyes she spoke " then I guess I better get ready to send those who killed dad and drove me from my home straight to hell then" Maya laughed and nodded
"can you do something for me?" she asked not knowing how to ask what she needed "anything for you" Maya replied "I want you to help me look into what happened the night before my dad passed away, I was at a club" Adriana spoke "okay but let's do it tomorrow, I need to get somethings ready, I'll come to the Cardonara mansion," Maya said and she nodded
"I should probably go back and makeup with Aria," Adriana said and stood up, " let me call an Uber for you," Maya said and stood up,
Adriana looked around and felt a conviction in her heart, maybe this was how she was supposed to start her revenge process, looking at some other jewelry she failed to notice the bracelet on her wrist had.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Why are you standing there?" she heard a voice that brought her back from her reverie, she found out that it belonged to Aria's brother Andy " oh sorry, I was lost"
"don't apologize, where do you want to go?" he said "I'm looking for Aria" I replied "ohhhh she's in her room and she's pretty angry," he told her "I'm responsible for that" he nodded and she walked towards the stairs
"Don't pressure yourself, you'll remember soon" Andy said and walked away, Adriana paused at the stairs and turned, but he was already out the door, she sighed, it seems that was another close friend she couldn't remember, she made her way to Aria's room.
Standing outside, she paused not sure if to knock or not, mustering every ounce of courage, she knocked "if that's Adriana go away" she heard Aria's voice say, sighing she spoke " I'm not going to say sorry because it wasn't my fault I forgot but I want to remember and I need your help" she heard sounds in the room and some footsteps before the door were opened, facing her was a tear-stained faced Aria, she felt so guilty for making such a strong woman cry,
she walked in and sat on the bed, Aria shut the door and sat opposite her on a bean bag and looked at her, silence loomed over the room.
"Cough cough" faking a cough Adriana continued "I want to remember because subconsciously I want to be your friend and I'm sure we were once so close but I don't know why I forgot or how I got healed either"
"Maya told you?" she asked and Adriana nodded "I know it's not your fault but it hurts cause we were once so close," Aria said " before I remember why don't we get to know each other again" Adriana proposed and Aria looked at her for a while before nodding,
"I also need your help, I've asked Maya to see for me and she agreed," Adriana said and Aria muttered an okay, "I'm sorry for how I acted today, it was immature," she said and hugged her knees, Adriana smiled, stood up and walked up to her, sitting on the floor close to her she took her hands and said "rule no 1 don't apologize for what you did just buy me ice cream" and she smiled and Aria joined in too.
looking at these two girls, one would feel jealousy for this bond not known to them was stronger than any ever seen.
