While Mia prepares the menu for lunch, Adriano is engrossed in accompanying Miabella to play in the courtyard beside Casa de Luca. Damiano, who had just returned from the plantation, was amazed and amazed by the scenery presented there.
A miracle for Damiano, when he saw Miabella who was immediately familiar with Adriano. The middle-aged man smiled slightly. “Look at your daughter, Theo,” he said slowly. The pain she felt again. However, Damiano did not want to continue to dissolve in his sadness. He had to stay strong, for all the things Matteo left him in Casa de Luca.
“Grandpa!” miabella exclaims that at that time saw the whereabouts of Damiano. The little brunette girl waved at him. Miabella's smile looked so wide. He looks very cheerful.
Damiano approached them. “Some exciting, Bella?” tanyanya gently. After that, he turned his gaze to Adriano, who was tidying up the sleeves of the shirt. Adriano folded it up to three-quarters. “How are you, Mr D’Angelo?” hello Damiano.
“Good,” replied Adriano. “No need to be too formal. Just call Adriano,” said the blue-eyed man.
“Then call me Damiano,” reply the man in the hat who always with his wise attitude.
“Oh, okay. Sounds much more comfortable,” said Adriano while continuing to accompany Miabella play. The little girl was so agile and very active. He was actually a jolly boy too. “Are you not tired, Bella?” adriano asked half-callingly to Miabella, who kept running around in the green lawn.
“No, Daddy Zio,” says Miabella.
Suddenly, Damiano immediately turned to Adriano who was smiling calmly while looking at him. “Me and Mia are getting married soon. I hope you don't mind, Damiano,” Adriano said quietly and calmly.
Damiano did not immediately answer. The old man again noticed Miabella who was playing so cheerfully. The little girl looked very happy. “As long as it makes Mia happy, I have absolutely no objection. He's still young. Mia has the right to continue living,” Damiano replied with an erratic feeling. The shadow of Matteo's face on his last day, suddenly appeared and disturbed the calm that he had been guarding.
“You really don't mind, Damiano?” ask Adriano again. He seemed to want to be more certain of the opinion, from the man who had been a role model in Casa de Luca.
A heavy sigh was heard from the man who was now taking off his hat, revealing his perfectly whitened hair. Damiano was holding on tightly to the hat, which was his last birthday present. Gifts from Mia and Matteo on that fateful day. “I think, Theo also knows that you can take good care of Mia,” Damiano replied as he bowed for a moment.
Adriano breathed out slowly. He put his right hand in his pocket. “I was very surprised by the news. It feels, can't believe if a Matteo just died,” Adriano regretted. The man knitted his brows and seemed to think for a moment. “Is there someone you suspect?” he turned back to Damiano.
The old man just nodded. “Senjak detached himself from the organization, Theo just focus with the plantation. Every now and then, Marco comes here to ask for his help. However, he was never involved in any affairs related to the black world again. I know that very well. My son looks a lot calmer and certainly has a lot of precious time with his little family." Damiano was silent for a moment. He was back in the hat.
“I will never forget that day. It was like a huge bomb explosion, when the medics told me my son was gone. Everything happened so quickly,” Damiano said with a glaring look. His shadow returned, at the moment where he watched Matteo's sturdy body collapse with a drenched blood.
“Blood that comes out of his body is a lot. Forensics said there were at least four gunshot wounds to the back, one of which penetrated into the heart. Meanwhile, I didn't see anything suspicious there at all." Damiano fell silent again and seemed to be thinking about something. Meanwhile, Adriano listened carefully to the words of the man.
“There was someone telling me that Theo was shot using a very advanced weapon, with unique specifications. It reminds me of his own weapon. We know how powerful the weapons Theo produced are. But I also dare not speculate. One thing is certain, in addition to being done by a reliable sniper, the weapon he used was not an indiscriminate weapon. Oh, Theo my son ...” Damiano lowered his head while covering his eyes with his right hand.
Damiano immediately rubbed the wet corner of his eyes, especially when a servant came to them and told them that lunch was ready. They invited Miabella to come in. The little girl did not argue, especially because Adriano carried her until she arrived at the dining room.
Mia who had just finished arranging the dining table, smiled gently at the familiarity between her daughter and Adriano. That's a very remarkable thing. Miabella even chose a chair next to Adriano. He also immediately wore shoes presented by the man.
“What else do you like besides shoes, Bella?” tanya Adriano began to eat dishes that were made by Mia. He was silent for a moment and glanced at the woman. How happy it is to be a Matteo de Luca, Adriano thought. However, he did not want to show too much attitude. His attention was on Miabella.
“I love dolls, Daddy Zio,” replied the gray-eyed little girl innocently, but made Mia almost choke on hearing her daughter's pinned call against Adriano.
Adriano just smiled a little. While continuing to enjoy his lunch, he again said, “I will fill your room with the doll you want. It's not a big deal, Bella. Beautiful girl like you, deserves to be treated like a princess.” Adriano stroked the long hair of Miabella who smiled broadly at her.
“So, when are your wedding plans going on? I'll help prepare everything.” Damiano stopped the bribe. He looked at Mia and Adriano in turn.
“Paman ...” Mia did not continue her words. There was a speck of regret that he showed.
Damiano can understand that clearly. “What's wrong, My son. You have the right to go on with your life and regain the happiness you lost. There should be someone back to take good care of you and Miabella."
"After all, I am getting older and not strong enough to hold your daughter for long,” Damiano said smiling bitterly. The taste of haru again burst into his heart. However, Damiano was completely sincere. He also wants to see Mia happy, especially because Miabella also seems familiar with Adriano.
“We will have a wedding this week, because I have to return to Monaco,” Adriano said with confidence. His gaze was fixed on Mia who was looking at him protesting. Adriano hasn't talked about it. However, Mia did not want to argue much. He nodded in agreement with the handsome man.
“We will not hold a party that is too festive, Uncle,” said Mia made Adriano immediately glared at him. However, Mia did not care about that. He was busy continuing his conversation with Damiano.
After lunch, Adriano said goodbye to go home. However, before he left Casa de Luca, he had to take Miabella to the room to take a nap. After making sure the little girl had fallen asleep, Adriano came out and rushed to meet Mia in Matteo's study.
“I go home first. I'm here again tomorrow. We will go to Milan to buy a wedding dress,”. He immediately raised his hands to the chest, as a signal that Mia would not protest. “I decide everything, Mia,” firmly Adriano.
The man stepped before Mia and stood very close to her. “Listen to me, Darling.” Adriano's tone sounded much heavier and deeper than before. “This is my first wedding.So, I want something very special. I don't care even if I have to spend a lot of money for this party,” he continued.
“Then?” ask Mia.
“Forget your silly idea of a simple party." Adriano stroked Mia's cheek gently using the back of her hand.
