"Papa, do you really have to go?" Alberto asked as he scratched at the back of his head awkwardly. Bruno nodded his head as he silently folded his nice suit and other clothes.
"Yes Alberto I do have to go, I wish I could stay but we are running out of money fast and I need this job for the both of us." Bruno explained as he put the clothes into the small suit case. Bruno could hear the small sigh that escaped Alberto's lips. Bruno himself didn't want to get into such things but he had to if he wanted to keep his son safe. This town was too old fashioned to realize that Alberto and the rest of his kind were perfect the way they are. If he overcame the mafia he could control this town into accepting his son.
"Will you be gone long?" Alberto asked as he held his arm and stood by his father's side. Bruno nodded his head again much to Alberto's disappointment.
"Don't worry my cucciolo, when I come back you will finally be able to visit the town over there and even the rest of Italy!" Bruno explained somewhat happily. Though Bruno wanted to be fully happy he just couldn't, it would be hard to keep an eye on Alberto especially if he didn't have a stand. There was just too many risks to take and Bruno didn't want to lose his one and only son.
"Don't call me that papa! I'm five you know, that means I'm A big boy!" Alberto boasted. Bruno nodded his head again and ruffled Alberto's soft locks.
"Yes you sure are getting big." Bruno affirmed. Alberto's face gain a small smile and he looked up loving at his father. With a loud zip Bruno closed the suitcase and dropped it on the floor. With a heavy sigh Bruno turned to his son and gave him a sad smile.
"I will visit whenever I can, and remember don't do anything you shouldn't like talking to other humans. Do you understand?" Bruno asked as his eyes started to gather tears. Alberto nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Si papa." Alberto said as he hugged his fathers legs. Bruno smiled and crouched down to Alberto's level with a shaky hand he moved Alberto's hair away and gave his forehead a kiss.
"I love my cucciolo." Bruno whispered as small tears fell down his face and onto Alberto. Alberto hugged Bruno tightly as he whispered his goodbye.
"Ciao papa." And with that Bruno waved Alberto goodbye and headed off twoards the train station. Poor Bruno and Alberto they would never see each other again after this day.
Alberto gripped his legs together and let his feelings out. Was his papa ever going to come home? Alberto missed him so much yet he had no way of ever seeing his papa or even reaching out to him. Did his papa leave him to go live in the town? Tch. Maybe he shouldn't listen to what his papa told him then. His his papa left him to go have fun then he wouldn't listen to him anymore.
"silenzioso Bruno!" Alberto shouted out. All was silent after that and Alberto decided it was good to keep that phrase with him. Whatever his father didn't want him to do didn't matter anymore, he was a big boy who was going to travel the world and meet humans! And if he ever saw his father along the way he would be sure to never listen to him again.
