"Are you going, Ricci?" asked Mia who saw Coco had appeared neat. The man also continued to play the keys to his bike. Occasionally Coco whistled cheerfully. I don't know what makes him look so happy.
"Yes, Mia. I've been leaving the workshop too long. Lately, my workshop has been neglected a lot. It's a good thing my loyal customers aren't turning around" Coco said. He still looks calm.
"Oh, what a pity. Though the plan is we will go to Rome today," said Mia. He smiled amusedly as he saw the change in expression that Coco showed.
"Why did you tell him, honey?" matteo Protest. "It will only interfere with our journey" the gray-eyed man continued, linking his eyebrows. While Mia continued to laugh amusedly, when she saw the attitude of the two friends. "You guys are so funny" Mia said, closing her mouth with the back of her hand.
Instantly, Matteo and Coco looked at each other with faces of disbelief. "Funny?" tell both friends at the same time. Matteo then turned his gaze to Mia. The man seemed to want to return to protest.
However, Matteo said it, because Coco was heard saying something again. "Come, Theo. I promise I'll sleep on the way, and I won't comment much. It's up to you to do anything" Coco pleaded. "Mia, take me with you guys" he asked again, turning his eyes to Mia who was still laughing.
"Apply your request to my husband" Mia said, holding Matteo's left arm. They continued their steps to the room. Coco just scratched her head.
Inside the room, Mia immediately sat Matteo on the edge of the bed. He then took a comb and began to tidy the hair of the husband who at that time looked a little disheveled. Matteo was silent and obedient, like a child to his mother. However, the man occasionally made a small smile as he raised his face towards Mia.
Finished tidying Matteo's hair, Mia then grabbed the husband's black coat. The beautiful man immediately stood up as Mia wrapped her sturdy body with the coat earlier. "Calm yourself. Don't get carried away by your emotions" said Mia slowly. Cupped his firm jaw gently.
"My anger will never go away even if I take the old man's life. It feels really unsatisfactory" Matteo said softly and flatly. "All the crimes he's committed have been fatal to my life, Mia. Somehow it would be if I didn't see you again," Matteo's gray eyes straightened out and directly pierced into Mia's heart, making her stop beating for a while.
Mia then kissed Matteo's lips with affection, until she was satisfied. A moment later, he released it. Mia also rubbed her husband's lips gently, as a result of her red lipstick left there. "Is everything ready? Have you studied the files that your man gave you?" ask Mia. There was a speck of worry in both of his eyes.
Matteo nodded slowly. “Just relax, Mia bella (beautiful me). I've been moving fast and preparing everything since the detective came to our house,” he stroked Mia's long hair, flicked her from the forehead until she was exposed to the back. Matteo kissed Mia's forehead gently. "Don't worry too much, honey. I'll handle this matter well. I hope you can work together too."
Mia smiled sweetly while nodding. "You don't have to ask me to do that" Mia replied. "We're leaving now?"
Matteo nodded as he responded to Mia's question. The couple rushed out of the room and headed to the front yard, where Nico was waiting for them. Today, the plan is they will go to the police station with ushered by him, and of course not use Matteo's favorite jeep car.
Matteo did not allow anyone to drive the car, especially after the incident that befell his parents. After all, Matteo was very protective of something that became his privacy.
Nico is a very polite young man. He always smiled kindly and looked sincere. There is nothing to be seen that is made up of all the gestures and also his body language. The driving style is also very calm.
About thirty minutes on the way, they finally arrived at the intended place, the local police station. The two get out of the car immediately, after Nico opens the door for them. Matteo clasped Mia's wrist and led her in. As usual, the man always looks handsome and also charming. Matteo is a man with a million charms that will never end.
On arrival, they were welcomed by an officer. It was the officer who also escorted them into the room of detective Fabrizio Ranieri. The detective looks so excited when he sees the arrival of Matteo and Mia. He immediately got up from his chair and endured it. “Finally, after several times I contacted you, Sir. I'm going to process the search warrant for you and Mr. Antonio for not responding to any messages from us,” detective Fabrizio said. He still looks friendly even though Matteo had made him a little upset, because he did not respond to all the messages he sent.
“Ah, forgive us, Mr. Detective. We don't mean to ignore your call. It's just, I'm still in recovery period,” Matteo's pretext.
Shortly after sitting down, Mia handed the brown map to Matteo. Matteo gives it to Detective Fabrizio. The detective immediately opened the map. Before reading it, he grabbed his glasses first, then after that, he examined them carefully all the files in the map.
It took Fabrizio a few minutes to study each sheet of the file, before he finally put the files on his desk. “So, Mr Antonio is having health problems?” tanyanya seraya mangosteen-mangut slowly.
“Yes. My uncle is no longer young. He had a long time ago had problems with his heart. That's why he now lives in America to do the checks and also rest,” explained Matteo calmly.
"Yes, Matteo is right. Uncle Antonio is a very active man, especially when it comes to plantation issues. Therefore, we suggested that he go to America" Mia said with her sweet smile that looked very convincing, making Matteo glance at her with an incredulous hue.
Detective Fabrizio took a deep breath. The man rubbed his beard while thinking. For a moment he stared at the pile of files on the table. After which, he turned his gaze to Matteo. “Begini, Mr. de Luca. Three years have passed, but we have always had a dead end. In those three years, the case goes on the spot. Ernesto Homar swore he was the culprit. Still, I felt something strange. That is why, the judge has not given his verdict to date, because it is we who asked to keep the case open and continue the investigation,” he explained.
“I understand, Mr. Detective. I also feel very grateful for your concern for justice for both my parents,” said Matteo with his very distinctive style of speech. Slowly, his hand reached for Mia's clenched fingers to hide the nervousness that had begun to appear in his heart.
“Of course. Mr. Roberto and Mrs Gabriela are role models in our community. Countless have they contributed to the progress of this city. They are the kindest and most friendly people I have ever known. Therefore, I will not stop investigating this case until it is successful,” Detective Fabrizio said. “So, a little help from you will mean a lot to us. You also certainly want to immediately uncover who is the culprit behind all this, right?” continued again.
“My wishes are exactly the same as yours, Mr. Detective,” tension begins to creep in Matteo.
Mia could sense that clearly, so she shifted her seat, to near the seat that Matteo was sitting on. She then rubbed her husband's arm. Matteo turned his head for a moment while touching the back of his wife's hand.
“So, there is a way out for the police considering it is impossible to talk to Mr. Antonio directly. Moreover, due to his weak state and often unconsciousness. That's based on the report and description of the doctor mentioned in the file you provided, ” Detective Fabrizio lifted the brown map from the table and then put it back.
“As long as Antonio's uncle was sick, he handed over all power to his son, Marco de Luca, Mr. Detective. If you like, you can immediately contact my cousin,” Matteo said slowly.
