My boy, I Love You

Chapters 10. The Jury

"Ray, are you sure?" Lia still can't believe it.

Ray nodded steadily. He had truly fallen in love with Lia. His heart was pounding, his feelings were mixed. There is a fear of rejection.

"Ray, would you love Leon like your own son if I accepted you?"

"Of course I've loved her now, before you asked for it."

Is this what the little boy planned? He was always full of surprises. Lia was still agape in disbelief at reality.

"So tell me, Cornelia Savero. Do you want to accept me as my lover?" This time Ray bent his legs and held out a small, open red box. Inside was a beautiful ring with sparkling eyes reflecting the sunlight.

Lia covered her mouth with both hands. He could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes. After all the things that happened to him, even he could still get a romantic treatment from the opposite sex!

Without feeling a drop of warm tears flowed down his cheeks. He nodded his head with a faint smile on his lips.

"He's a good guy. It wouldn't hurt to spend the rest of my life with her. He's a man who is able to accept the darkness of my past and love Leon as much as the love I give," Lia said in her heart.

"Mommy, Mr. Ray." The little boy was suddenly behind Lia.

Lia immediately wiped away the tears that left traces on her smooth cheeks with her palms.

"Why is mommy crying? Did you refuse Mr Ray?" ask Leon. "Did Mr Ray do evil to mommy?"

"No-no Leon. Mami just wanted to ask you, before she accepted Mr. Ray," Lia said to her beloved son. "Do you like Mr Ray? Did you really expect him to be a father to you?"

Lia held onto her son's shoulder and looked at his eyes intently. For Lia this is a very important decision. He did not want his decision to make his son suffer.

Leon smiled and he nodded his head quickly. "Yes mam. Leon wants Ray to be a daddy to Leon."

Lia could not help but have her tears dripping again. He smiled with tears. Leon wiped it with his hand. "Mami don't cry. Leon wants you to be happy like Leon."

Ray smiled, he stood up and immediately grabbed Lia's hand. He placed a ring on the ring finger of his left hand. "Thank you Lia, thank you Leon. You have accepted me in your hearts. I will fight to always make you happy."

Ray kissed Lia's forehead for the first time. A warm kiss that landed on his forehead. The beginning of a new relationship between them, a friendly relationship of a family.

"Ray, don't do anything weird. Leon hasn't even slept." Lia again straightened her body from her backrest on Ray's field chest.

"Leon was training in his room. Even we can hear the sound of her violin friction from here," Ray said gently in her lover's ear.

Ray again kissed the lips of his beautiful future wife. "You really are like opium to me, Lia. I can't seem to escape you," he said. "Would we speed up our marriage?"

Ray gently caressed the long hair of the woman leaning on his chest.

Lia laughed chuckling. "Ray, do you seriously want to tie yourself to me?"

"Hmm. I really need to tie you up. I don't want to lose the chance to be Leon's father" he said. "I can imagine, maybe I'll go crazy if you leave me, Lia."

"You're overreacting, Ray. I'm not even that important." Lia brushed off Ray's words.

"Maybe to someone else you're not important. But to me, you are everything" Ray said. "Never be far from me, Lia."

A warm kiss landed on the lips of the beautiful woman. Until the sound of the violin stopped swiping, the two men immediately woke up and sat upright in their seats.

Soon, there were small steps behind them.

Lia smiling. "What do you want to eat, baby?"

"I want a steak, mommy," said the little boy.

"Steak? Do you want to taste chef Ray's steak, Leon?" Ray suddenly offers himself. He immediately stood up and walked towards the dry kitchen. I wear an apron hanging on the wall.

Lia immediately took out the wagyu from her freezer and gave it to Ray. After all the ingredients had been completed at the kitchen table, Lia sat down next to Leon. They see Ray busy cooking for them.

Lia smiled in her heart she prayed, "Maybe he is my soul mate. Lord, unite us if he is my soul mate. But keep us away, if it turns out he's not the right person."

Leon looked at his mother's face. He was happy, seeing his mother happy. If only he were really my real father. Daddy, who you really are and where you are.

The mother and daughter were so engrossed in their thoughts that the food was ready in front of them. Ray opened the apron attached to his clothes and joined it at the dining table.

"Leon, eat it."

"Leon-" Ray waved his hand in front of the little boy's face. Leon woke up from his daydream.

"Yes, thank you" he said spontaneously.

"Return to love" said Ray. "Is there a thought that bothers you, Leon? You don't usually daydream."

"Nope-no. I was just thinking about how my quarantine house would be, "he replied accordingly. He can't get an answer to the question of who his father is, can he.

"You haven't told me where you're going to run your quarantine, Leon," Lia said as she cut the steak on her plate.

"I'll settle down for a while at my guide. At the home of a jury I picked out for the audition at the time, mam," replied Leon honestly.

"Well, wherever you are, you have to be polite, honest and remain a disciplined child in the use of time" said Mr. Ray. "I'm sure your supervisor is an experienced person. So get as much science out of him as possible."

Lia nodded her head in agreement. "really. You have to be polite and show me you're a good boy. He is older than you, after all. Be respectful."

"Yes mam" he said briefly. He returned with a fork and knife in his hand.

Suddenly Lia recalled someone passing by in front of her while escorting Leon to the audition. What if he was one of the judges. His feelings suddenly became chaotic. What if he was Leon's mentor. What if he realizes that Leon is his son. What if-- . A thousand questions struck his mind.

Nah! I mustn't be able to keep guessing. I need to know who the guide is in quarantine. I need to know where he's going to live.

"Leon, who was the jury you picked at the time?" lia asked with a trembling voice.

"Samuel Augusto, mam."
