Since the incident that night, Gavino and Gress are getting closer, like a couple. The new blossoms flowers of love in the hearts of both.
But Gavino still does not want to take Gress home. Show me where he's been all this time.
So, Gavino's true identity remains unknown to Gress. Because all this time, Gress only knew, if Gavino was a student with a scholarship. Just like her. The home town of Gavino is Monte Isola. A small town in Italy.
Gress doesn't know if, Gavino doesn't take the fees she has to accept as an accomplished student. Because Gavino is able to finance all the costs he has to spend for college and his daily life.
Gress also does not know, if the car driven by Gavino all this time is her own car.
Gavino admitted that the car was just a loan from his cousin. He is currently overseas, so his car is idle.
Rather than being unemployed and thus damaged by itself, Gavino was asked to take advantage of it, by taking care of it as well.
"Drink Gress."
Gavino puts a canned soft drink on Gress.
"Thank you Gavin." Gress doesn't forget to thank him for the drink Gavino gave her.
"What are your plans for Gress's vacation?" gavino asked, after he sat himself beside the girl.
"Do you want to go back to America?" so Gavino asked.
But Gress did not answer the question. He just went quiet and took a deep breath.
Gavino also no longer urged him with a question anymore. He lets Gress talk to herself, if she feels able to give an answer.
Finally they both so silent, with a canned drink in each hand.
"I... I actually want to go home to Gavin. Ta_but, who do I have there? I have no one else, who will welcome my return to Uncle Sam's country."
Gress' voice seemed to tremble, as she answered Gavino's question. Who did not want him to answer.
But he thought that, Gavino should know more about himself and his circumstances. Because Gress no longer wants to cover up her true state of self to Gavino.
"What do you mean?" ask Gavino, who does not understand what Gress said.
During this time, Gavino also did not know correctly, with the background and identity of Gress. Who is an American, and not a native Italian.
Finally, Gress tells about herself, which has been unknown to others. Including with Gavino as well, who was his closest friend all along.
*****
Gress is from the United States. He lives together with his extended family, which turns out there is no blood relation at all between family members.
Both of his parents, all this time were foster parents. Who became guardians, for some unlucky kids.
Like orphans, they do not have siblings or parents who are able and willing to educate them well. Children are less fortunate than homeless people and so on.
It can be said, the house that Gress occupied during her time in the United States there was an orphanage. It is not listed as an official social foundation. Because in fact, the Gress brothers did not have the same fate as him as well. But all the expenses incurred by his foster parents, purely from their own personal funds.
Both of Gress's foster parents, never asked for or received social assistance from any party. Because, their business is intended for their charitable activities, by way they accommodate children such as Gress.
Luckily, Gress is a bright student, so she often gets the chance to receive scholarships. Both from the government and the school foundation, where he studied.
So, Gress did not bother the two foster parents too much.
That was why, he also had to be able to skimp and plan something, in order to be someone who did not just depend on his scholarship he was here.

"Because that's Gavin, I'm planning to find a job, when there's a semester break next month."
"Thanks for adding savings, which I can use in the future, right?" Gress ends her story by saying her wish as well.
Gavino was moved, hearing the story from Gress.
He had felt the same way as it used to, in a time when his circumstances were not what they are today. Before he had the mafia system, that just suddenly came and fused with his body.
"I'm proud of the achievements you've achieved in Europe, Gress. Promise to keep learning, and succeed. Just like the wishes of everyone who supported you all this time."
Gress smiled happily, hearing Gavino's words that gave her a spirit. Because that's exactly what the two need in the meantime.
He must be able to survive in the great country of Italy, which is one of the developed countries in the mainland region of the European continent.
Although sometimes, the two also felt very sad. Missed her foster family in the United States.
"I'm going to Paris on vacation this semester. But before you go there, I'll make sure that, you've got a good job. To fill your vacation."
"Thank you Gavin. Love You." - Love You."
"Ti amo Gavino Giordano Junior."
Gress hugs her lover, telling her how she feels about Gavino.
*****
At Giordano and Mirele's.
Robert was in a state of dizziness, because it turned out that the cooperation he did yesterday, without George accompanying him failed miserably.
The person who asked him to cooperate, in fact, was a fraud.
"How did this happen to you, Robert? Why don't you check back, or at least check the field first!" sniff George.
"Sorry George. At that time I didn't think long. Because the offers they do are very entertaining. As for you, I can't call. Because there's work you have to do for Gavino at that time."
Hearing the explanation given by Robert, George could only waste his breath.
He was upset, disappointed and angry. Because the losses experienced by this effort is quite large.
"Hum... How do I report all this to Gavino? I don't know, what he's gonna do. If you hear the financial statements that get a loss of this magnitude." George's voice, making Robert feel more guilty.
"Sorry George. I'll tell Gavino directly. Here, I'm the guilty one. So I should be in charge of everything that's happening right now."
"Ergh... You think, with you talking to Gavino everything's gonna get better?"
"No Robert. We have to solve this ourselves, our way."
George did not allow Robert to tell Gavino, with the problems occurring in Giordano and Mirele's warrant. What is now is the responsibility of the two of them to manage it.
