Cold-Blooded Mafia Revenge.

40. Surprise.

Deka finally came home, he gasped when he saw Dani's motorcycle parked in his yard.

"So he came?"

Deka hurriedly entered the house feeling anxious, but he was surprised to see a birthday cake and various snacks and canned drinks on the table, starla also fell asleep on the sofa.

"Finally you're home too!" yani exclaimed when he saw the arrival of Deka.

"When have you been here?" ask Deka.

"Since this afternoon, I've come to celebrate your birthday, I've brought all this, but you're gone" Dani lamented.

"Sorry, I had an appointment with Clarissa" Deka said, feeling a little guilty.

"I've guessed, you must have gone with that woman! But why didn't you answer my phone?"

Deka gasps, "Phone?"

Deka rushed to check his pants pocket and found his phone was not there.

"God! My phone must have been left in the room because it was in a hurry" Deka said.

"Correctly! I've called you dozens of times" Dani said.

Deka did not answer, he then walked up to Starla who was fast asleep and looked at her peaceful face.

"Why is he sleeping here?"

"She's waiting for you to come home and wants to celebrate your birthday too, but since you've been so long, she's fallen asleep, she hasn't even had dinner yet."

Deka's heart felt even more guilty hearing Dani's complaint, he did not expect these two people would wait for him.

"We had planned to surprise you, but failed!" continue Dani.

Deka turned to look at Dani, "Who said he failed? I was surprised, really. That means the surprise worked and let's celebrate my birthday together."

"It's not fun! Starla's just been sleeping" Dani denied.

"I'm gonna wake her up, she's gonna have to eat dinner, too."

Deka then approached Starla and gently shook the woman's body, "Hey, get up!"

Starla squirmed and tried to gather her consciousness, slowly the woman opened her eyes.

"Eh, you're home?" Starla immediately opened her eyes wide upon seeing Deka and immediately got up.

"Yes, just now" Deka said as she moved away from Starla.

"Well, since the birthday is already here, now we start the show before the day changes," Dani quipped as she glanced at the clock on the wall showing eleven o'clock past fifty minutes.

Dani and Starla also sang a birthday song while clapping cheerfully, Deka just laughed while shaking her head.

"Happy birthday, yes, Ka. May you always be protected by God and what you hope to achieve" Dani said, hugging Deka.

"Thank you, Dan." Deka hugged Dani back and patted her back.

Dani breaks her embrace and looks at Starla, "You don't want to congratulate me, too?"

Starla smiled then extended her hand before Deka, "Happy birthday, yes, Bang."

Deka shook Starla's hand, "Thank you."

"May you always be healthy and be a better person. Get married, let her sleep be with."

Deka laughed at Starla's last words, but she did not reply. Starla was stunned to see the laughter of Deka so loose.

"All right, now we're eating, yuk! I'm so hungry!" dani walked straight to the dining table.

Deka was really happy because of this little attention from Dani and Starla, with a happy heart she also stepped towards the dining table.

Dani had eaten first, because he was already starving.

As usual Starla took the rice for Deka, but this time the man refused.

"I've already eaten, so don't get me any rice."

Starla's face turned sad, "Oh, Brother has eaten? Yes, that's it then."

Dani, who noticed the change in Starla's face, protested, "You are so evil! He's cooking your favorite food, you're not even eating!"

Deka was confused, he suddenly looked at Starla who was pouring the rice back into place.

"I want to eat!" suddenly Deka.

Starla immediately looked at Deka in confusion.

"I'm hungry again" Deka said.

Dani and Starla look at each other, they are confused to see Deka change her mind so quickly.

But without much question, Starla also returned to get rice for Deka and his side dishes. Deka was full, but she had to eat again because she did not want Starla to be disappointed and sad.

***

Clarissa was crying sobbing in her room while looking at a picture of herself with Deka taken five years ago, she rubbed Deka's face with her finger.

"I think after all these years together, you're sure to have love for me, but you don't. You just consider me a friend, even more painful you think I'm like your own sister. That's not what I want, Deka!"

Clarissa's tears grew unstoppable, her heart ached remembering Deka's words earlier. All this time he harbored feelings towards Deka and wished the man to return his love, yet today he heard the heartbreaking reality straight away.

The door of his room was knocked from the outside, and Victor's voice was heard, "Honey, can you come in?"

Clarissa wiped her tears and moved and opened the door.

Victor gasped at Clarissa's sour face filled with traces of tears, "You're crying? What's up?"

Disappointed and wounded Clarissa could not help herself, she stared intently at Victor.

"Why did Papa say that to Deka?"

Victor frowned, "Say what?"

"Don't pretend you don't know! I heard it all."

Victor fell silent, and now he knew what his daughter meant.

"I'm disappointed in Papa" Clarissa said.

"Darling, Papa just wants the best for you."

"What's the best? Papa never even cared about me! Papa thinks only of himself and Papa's ill-gotten business! Papa's selfish!"

"Clarissa enough!" snapped Victor, his hand was raised about to slap Clarissa but was held up in the air.

"Slap! Slap me, Pa! Let Papa be satisfied!" clarissa Jokes.

Victor just shook his head in anger.

"Originally Papa knows, I will try to win Deka's heart and I don't care if Papa agrees or not, because I love him." Clarissa rushed into the room and cried.

Victor clenched his hands tightly to hold back his wrath, he would not let the princess do that. Until whenever Deka will only be his executioner, will not change.
