The Last Dessert

Narrator Fabian is 27 years old and lives in southern Italy, more precisely in Sicily. He's not part of the Sicilian mafia, if that's what you're thinking! I don't blame you for thinking that far, given the area's reputation. So he's not a mobster. And if he was, he would be a damn good looking one! But yes, Fabian has distant connections that don't make him too proud. That's why he never agreed to be too close to his uncle Beniamino, the husband of his paternal aunt. Neither did he ever turn to them when he was at an impasse, nor did he honor by attending the family parties organized by them. He didn't want to commit to them because he knew what would follow. He preferred to keep his distance and avoid being associated with his uncle's name and business. And although Beniamino proposed to him every time they saw each other, to take his place at the head of the mafia and all the businesses, Fabian vehemently refused every time. He always felt that it was not his responsibility to succeed his uncle, just as it was not his fault that he had no children. Plus he never agreed with everything Beniamino did. Fabian, however, is an ordinary young man, with a stable job that brings him more than decent income. Adding his monthly salary to the money he earns as a blogger, he really does well financially. Thus, he was able to check off his wish list the purchase of his own apartment in a good area, the ownership of a jeep and the visit of several favorite countries. In addition to other little things such as various accessories that are not available to everyone. He also does charity acts once a month, but no one but him and the beneficiaries know about it. He has always wanted to remain anonymous from this point of view. This is probably due to his modesty and, in general, his character, which can only be described with positive and praiseworthy words. As a successful blogger with over 1 million subscribers, mostly women from all over the world, Fabian is by no means a cocky man with a depraved lifestyle. So what he blogs is what he implements. In other words, he can be considered, without exaggeration, the perfect man. With his posts on how to love and respect women, how to reconcile them when they are upset, how to spice up your relationship and make it not fall into monotony, or even how to surprise your girlfriend with a romantic dinner , Fabian came to be idolized by his female readers. However, here we are talking about item two on the list of cases where he maintains his anonymity. No one knows that the one at the keyboard writing all those blog posts is Fabian. He introduces himself under the nickname "Somebody". And his life seemed almost perfect, it remained for him to work out his love part, so that then he could consider himself fully fulfilled. But the good things and the quiet life were put in the shadows when he found out that he didn't have long to live due to a brain tumor. Upon hearing the news, his thoughts about the future were suddenly banished. And although he sought the opinion of several doctors, refusing to believe that a few headaches could wipe him off the list of the living, each time he received the same answer. So, he conformed to the thought that he would leave this world, but he could not conform to the thought that he would leave it unhappy, with unrequited love.
