That afternoon, Matteo seemed to be preparing with jeans and a leather jacket that he was carrying with his right hand. It seems he's going to leave. Before leaving, the man with gray eyes took the time to tease Mia who had just finished cleaning the dining table. "Should you do all this work yourself, honey?" tanya Matteo who suddenly hugged Mia from behind. What he did made his wife very surprised.
"Geez, Theo!" mia protested while looking at her husband who had now begun to get used to her wearing a big smile, especially because she had been separated from the arm sling that had been binding her freedom. "Why do you like to surprise me so much?" mia protested again with an annoyed mimic. He then pinched Matteo's waist in anxiety.
"Because I'm happy when I see you angry ...." Matteo. He did not continue his words, when he saw Mia glaring sharply at him. "I mean .. of course adorable anger," the man errs while wearing a jacket. While Mia resumed work that had been disrupted.
"Are you going, Theo?" ask Mia later. He has finished all his work. The long-haired woman, took off the apron then hung it neatly.
"Yes. I'll go to the workshop for a second. I haven't been there in a long time" replied Matteo. He took out a black eyeglass from his jacket pocket and held it. "I won't be long" Matteo continued, drawing closer to Mia. He meant to kiss the woman. However, Matteo had to undo his intention because at that moment a servant entered the kitchen.
"Oh, sorry. I don't know if ..." The waiter intended to return, but it didn't happen because Matteo immediately said goodbye to Mia, who was then just speechless staring at Matteo's departure. He seemed to think of something. Moments later, Mia rushes out of the kitchen, and runs into Casa de Luca's courtyard to chase after her husband.
"Theo!" call Mia with a loud enough voice, making Matteo who was about to get into the car become stunned and turn his head. He looked at Mia who was walking towards him.
"Why, Mia?" ask her with a slightly mischievous expression. "We can continue later" Matteo said, making Mia blush.
"Not that," Mia argued softly while playing both of her eyeballs.
"Then?" Matteo frowned.
Mia looked at the husband who at that time looked so handsome with his sunglasses. Then he smiled. "Can I come with you?" pinta Mia was somewhat doubtful. He was afraid that Matteo would reject him. "I've been bored all day here doing nothing. Anyway, Francy was away, while Dani was always busy by herself" he said spoiled.
"Geez, Mia. You said you didn't do anything? Listen, Honey. You've been looking very busy from morning till noon. The only thing you haven't done is bathe me," Matteo's tease makes Mia glare at him. He looked around for fear that anyone would hear their conversation.
"So?" ask Mia.
"So?" Matteo frowned again.
"Are you willing to take me?" ask Mia again expectantly. At that moment his attitude looked so spoiled.
Matteo thought for a moment. A moment later, he led Mia to the right door of his car. Matteo opens the door and invites Mia to enter. With a very enthusiastic face, Mia immediately walked in and sat in the car. He also put his seat belt on without having to be reminded by Matteo. Moments later, Matteo immediately runs his car and starts leaving the spacious courtyard of Casa de Luca.
The journey from Casa de Luca to the workshop where Matteo's weapons were assembled, only took about an hour. Not long after, they had arrived at their destination. Matteo got out of the car. Not to forget he also opened the door for Mia. Soon grabbed the wife's wrist, and led her to enter the workshop which she had not visited long enough.
Matteo opened the iron door that was the only access to the workshop. He led Mia down the stairs. "Be careful with your steps," he said while guiding his wife when one by one the stairs, especially because the atmosphere there is quite dark.
"Is here the atmosphere always dim? It was like I was in a cave" Mia said as they walked into another room of the workshop.
Matteo immediately turned on the lights in the room. Instantly, the once pitch-black room was now lit up by the glare of three milky-white lights hanging from the ceiling just below the table. Mia began to circulate her gaze at every corner of the room with many shelves and vaults attached to the walls. There neatly arranged various equipment Matteo used to assemble various weapons, including his flagship rifle.
"This is my favorite place, Mia. Long before I knew you, I spent a lot of time here with my four men. But now they are all gone. They all died in front of me. Unfortunately, it was only Luigi that I had the chance to pay my last respects. I even shaved my hair after his death" Matteo said with a speck of regret on his face.
"I know what it's like to lose our loved ones" Mia replied as she gently touched Matteo's arm, making the man turn to her and smile knotfully.
"I've lost a lot of people I love, Mia. That's why I won't let you go. You're the first thing I'll always defend, even if I have to kill thousands of lives for your sake ...."
"Kids?" repeat Matteo in a doubtful tone. He then scrunched his nose and looked a little angry.
Mia can feel the discomfort of Matteo when discussing the matter. He felt that Matteo did not seem to have thought in that direction. "Why, Theo? Don't tell me you're not interested in having children" Mia said.
"Of course I want to have kids, honey. However, for the time being frankly I have not thought in that direction. I want to enjoy our time together first. Just the two of you" Matteo explained.
"All right," said Mia. "Then, will you teach me how to shoot?" mia's face looked slightly hopeful, but it made Matteo frown upon hearing that.
"You tried to shoot me. If I teach you, won't that be a threat to me?" joking.
Mia laughed softly at Matteo's words. "Yes, God. Since when did Matteo de Luca feel fear for a woman," led Mia while shaking her head in a hue of disbelief. That of course has made Matteo feel unacceptable and challenged. Immediately, he opened the iron safe where he kept the weapons he had assembled. Matteo then took out a long-barreled weapon and showed it to Mia.
"Let's see, how quickly the queen learned to shoot," he challenged her with a seductive smile, making Mia blush from it. Matteo then takes Mia back upstairs. They walked towards the field located right next to the workshop. After that, Matteo positioned Mia to stand at the point he had determined.
From a distance of about five hundred meters, Mia can see an object that will be her target of fire. Matteo gave him an explanation for a moment, before he handed over the weapon he was holding.
"Alright, Miss. Let's start the first lesson before you use this rifle" Matteo said with a teacher-like song. He then thrust the rifle to Mia who was immediately shocked. The brunette almost dropped the gun. Mia did not expect that the rifle was so heavy. Matteo laughed when he saw it. "Daddy. You can't even hold it," the man's taunts made Mia snort sharply at him.
"Hey! I don't know if it turns out to be so heavy" protested Mia. However, a moment later he forced himself to take up the weapon and positioned the rifle though with some difficulty. Matteo continued his explanation.
"Alright, Honey. You see that target up ahead?" point Matteo at a human-shaped target. "Sim with your dominant eye. Do not aim with both eyes, because it is an impossible way to do. Your dominant eye is the eye that shows the most accurate image when compared to the non-dominant eye" Matteo said. Mia does that even though she doesn't understand it too much.
"After that, align the front and back until you feel comfortable aiming. When you shoot with a shotgun, the position of the front aiming point should be in the middle, between the two rear aiming points," Matteo continued, helping Mia position what she described just now.
"Next, focus your eyes on the rifle. When you're aiming with a gun, you need to look at the rear sight, the front sight and the target. It is not physically possible for your eyes to focus on three objects at a time. Another case when you aim with a rifle. You have to make sure that your eyes are focused on the rifleman and not on the target, "again, Matteo again gives his explanation to Mia and makes the woman become increasingly clueless about the meaning of her words. However, Mia still continued her intention to learn to shoot.
"After that, determine your target point. There are three points to aim. There is no better choice between the three, so you need to try it out to find out which one suits you best. Concentrate. Carelessness in aiming will result in inaccurate shots. Now please do, dear," Matteo stood behind Mia. It's like a body lining for that woman. Patently, Matteo directed Mia at his target.
Mia started pulling the trigger. He was so surprised when he heard the sound of a gun eruption that he had just slashed. With a nervous hue, he glanced at Matteo's face, which was right to his right. Matteo, who was then aware of the wife's gaze, immediately turned his head and returned the glance. Their faces were so close that they could hear and feel each other's breath. Without much ado, Matteo immediately touched Mia's red cherry lips and continued on with something that had paused while they were in the kitchen.
