"Night, Mi?"

"Rev... Nights"

"Where is the fire?"

"Emilio's in her office? What was? It seems so important"

"There's something I should ask you, Papi"

Alviano did not want to waste time once he finished his work he went straight to the airport, took a ticket to France.

Gts .... Gts ...

Keekkk ...

"Vino ... Comein"

"Sorry, Pi. Vino wants to talk for a second. Does papi have time?"

"Sit. What do you want to talk about?!"

Emilio sat opposite his son. Vino tried to regulate his breathing, organize his heart and prepare his mentality.

"Boy knows Augustine's family, right?"

"Augustine?"

"What was your relationship with them in the past?"

Emilio widened his eyes. His heart rate is getting faster.

"What do you know? And what's your connection to the Augustine family?"

"Why did you ask Vino?"

"Answer of papi's questions!"

"Vino, love Kia. The youngest daughter of the Augustine family. They're not against our relationship but they're limiting our wiggle room. But it seems that his two brothers have something to challenge the Mahawira family and the Augustine family. What the hell is going on? Would you please explain to Vino?"

"Where is your relationship with Augustine's daughter?"

"Vino will marry Kia, Pi. We love each other"

"Love each other?"

"Yes ... "

"Leave the woman, Vino. Papi disagrees"

"What's the reason, Pi? Tell Vino what happened?"

Emilio can't control his emotions. He screamed and hit the table in front of him.

"Vino .. !!", snap Emilio.

"The police said no yes no. And there's no reason for that. Don't you come near the Augustines! Listen to that, Vino. Otherwise papi won't think of you as a papi boy"

Vino's reddened face restrained his anger. His hands were clenched and his jaw was hardened.

"Well if it's gonna, Papi. Let's just say Vino is dead. From now on Vino will no longer set foot in this house. Papi used to throw Mami, now papi did the same thing to Vino. From now on we have no relationship"

Vino came out of Emilio's study with a flushed face holding back anger. Ellene met him in the hallway.

"Rev. .. ", the smoke is anxious.

Vino stopped his steps. He looked at his stepmother.

"Rev, patience. Don't get carried away by emotions"

"Sorry, Mi. I can't"

From inside Flo's room came running towards Vino. Vino's heart melted slightly seeing the innocence of his half-brother. He crouched down and hugged Flo.

Ellene and Vino looked over.

"Bring Flo in.", orders Emilio.

"But Brother ... "

"Lake in !! From today he is no longer part of the Mahawira family. He's no longer my son. Bring Flo in ...!!!"

Ellene looked at her husband with a sad look, but she could not refute the man's orders. He held Flo who was crying parting ways with Vino. For him Vino is the older brother he loves the most. Vino did not have the heart to part with Flo in this way. He looked sadly at his little sister.

Without further ado Vino left and disappeared far from his family. His anger made him unable to dislike his Papa's treatment.

"Sir .. ", Ellene's reprimand was gentle as her husband began to soften

"Hmmm..."

"Do you want me to make you some hot chocolate?"

"Can"

Ellene is in the kitchen. She made a cup of hot chocolate for her husband. Ellene placed the hot chocolate in front of Emilio.

"This is your chocolate, brother"

"Thank you, baby"

Ellene rubbed her husband's back gently. Calm the heart of the man who is now her husband. He knew Emilio was very hard, but beyond all that he had a soft side to his hardness of heart.

"Relse ... "

"Hmmm..."

"Sister Emil, is there a problem?"

"No"

"Sir ..."

"Yes ... "

"May I speak?", Ellene asked.

"Please"

"Sister, don't be so hard on your son. Brother Emil and Rev are both loud. I'm confused to face your papah. I'm sorry, I didn't interfere with your affairs with Rev, but it would be nice to talk all over with a cool head. I know maybe Emil's brother didn't mean to throw Rev away, but Rev is your son. His happiness should be your priority"

Ellene paused for a moment. Adjust his breathing pattern to be able to finish his words.

"I'm sure Brother Emil could have been wiser deciding this. Rev hasn't asked for anything from you in a while. He grew up to be a strong and strong boy. Just like you, think again about your decision, brother. Do you have the heart to see Flo separate from her brother?"

Emilio got up from his seat. Then pull Ellene's waist in her arms.

"You talk like that as her mother or the ex-girl she once loved?!"

"Gosh, Brother. That's your mind to me. I can't do anything as low as you think it is, brother. I still know the limits and norms. I'm your wife, brother. So Rev I've considered him my own son. I've buried deep in that past"

"You sure?!"

"Surely, one hundred percent I'm sure of my feelings, brother"

Emilio stared intently at the two beads of the tiny woman's eyes. He's looking for the truth deep into Ellene's heart.

"I'm sorry, honey. I'm too scared to lose you"

Emilio hugged his wife gently. Stroking Ellene's fine hair lovingly. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake he had done to, Rose, Vino's birth mother.
