The charm of Mr. De Luca

Little Memories

By late afternoon, Adriano came to Casa de Luca. The man looked extremely excited as he entered the entrance of the majestic building that Matteo was living in. In accordance with the message from the owner of the house to a servant who received Adriano's arrival there, the servant immediately drove the man to the master's office.

"Good afternoon, Mr. de Luca," said Adriano warmly, greeting Matteo. As usual, he always looked friendly and friendly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. D'Angelo. Please sit down," replied Matteo normally. For Matteo, Adriano was no longer a special guest. "What's so important that you have to trouble yourself?" ask Matteo flat.

However, Adriano nevertheless responded to Matteo's calm, cold attitude towards him. The blue-eyed man smiled. "I bring important news from Mr. Redomir. Actually, the news was delivered through a man to me yesterday. For some reason, Mr. Redomir doesn't want to talk directly to you," Adriano explained, making Matteo interested and curious.

"About what? I have no other business with Sergei Redomir other than the issue of the weapon order," Matteo responded quite seriously.

"Yes, it's also about that" Adriano asserted. "Mr Redomir decided to cancel the rest of his order unilaterally. I'm really sorry, Mr. de Luca. However, this is all outside my power" Adriano regretted. He felt bad for Sergei Redomir's truly shameful attitude.

"Honestly, yesterday I was very angry when I got the news from the man. Mr. Redomir has already tarnished my good name in front of you, since I am the one who mediated the two of you," Adriano spoke again in a regretful tone. Back in his memory, when he finished off Sergei Redomir's men with a barrage of bullets from his favorite gun, until the man was immediately killed on the spot.

"Why is he behaving like that?" Matteo felt unacceptable. "I only produce weapons on order, and all the components have been made and even brought to the workshop by my men from Palermo. After all, his order would only be about forty percent more to be completed" Matteo said with a very sharp eye to Adriano.

"That's why I also deeply regret his unclear decision" Adriano responded. He could already feel the anger from the look on Matteo's face that looked tense at the time. "You take it easy, Mr. de Luca. I'll talk to him so that he gives you clarification right away," Adriano continued, again trying to cool Matteo's mood.

"No need!" reject Matteo quite firmly. "Tell me where Sergei Redomir is at the moment, I'll meet him in person" the gray-eyed man continued.

"As far as I know, he's in Milan right now. Yesterday he said he was going back to Monaco, but the charm of Italian girls kept him from rushing back there" Adriano said with a faint smile on his handsome face.

"Give me the address where he lives" Matteo pinta stressed. Adriano felt wrong. "It doesn't matter to me if Redomir wants to cancel his order. That way I have a lot of time at home. However, I don't like his cowardice. Sergei Redomir is like a con man, and I don't like that kind of person. Pretending to be friendly, but hiding a veiled intention behind his kindness."

Adriano was stunned when he heard Matteo's sharp words. He did not know whether the man's words were indeed intended for Sergei Redomir, or even contained other elements in them. However, Adriano did not want to be provoked. The sturdy man still showed a calm and friendly attitude, as usual. "You are right, Mr. de Luca. No one in this world likes a lie. That's for sure. However, there are times when we have to do the forbidden thing for one particular reason," Adriano took a slow breath. "Did you not go to the shop today?" tanyanya. He shifted the hat so that the atmosphere was not too tense.

"No. I can't leave Mia," replied Matteo flatly.

"Why? Is Mi... um I mean madame de Luca sick?" Adriano began to show his concern. If you have heard the name of the woman of his puja, then all her concentration and merta dissolved and replaced with the shadow of Mia's beautiful face.

"Not really," replied Matteo starting to calm down a little. "We just got back from the gynecologist" the man continued, ending with a satisfied smile. A simple answer, but it felt so stifling to Adriano. The blue-eyed man forced himself to smile and behave naturally.

"So, miss de Luca is pregnant?" ask Adriano heavily.

"Oh, sure. Every married couple hopes to have a baby soon. That is what makes a loving marriage more perfect. I'm very happy to hear that, Mr. de Luca. Give my regards to your wife. May she always be given health and smoothness in her pregnancy," said Adriano sincerely. Yes, of course he always gives great sincerity, for everything related to Mia.

Adriano did not care even though the wife of Matteo de Luca never knew, that he had finished off Alex to avenge what he had done to him. For Adriano, seeing Mia recover as she was, is already an incredible miracle. The feeling of love so great for the woman, it is impossible to be avenged. Adriano knows exactly what the relationship between Mia and Matteo is like.

Realize, of course the man thought about it clearly. Sick, of course. However, Adriano learned one thing from his unrequited love, that the greatest happiness is to see the person he loves smiling broadly without burden. A small sacrifice for him who was a ruler.

"Mrs de Luca is so happy living with you, and I feel good to see her. I'm just hoping, hopefully, you can always make him smile loosely, and spare him the tears of pain" Adriano said. His tone sounded flat and wryly wrapped which he tried to cover as much as possible.

"It feels funny when guys like us talk about feelings. But anyway, we are human. I'm grateful that God has given me a heart that still works well, so I can still use my humanity," Adriano closed his words with a bitter smile that represented the pain in his heart.

......................

The next day, Matteo was ready to go to Milan. He will meet Sergei in the apartment that the man rented while there. Armed with the address given by Adriano, the head of the Klan de Luca was intending to confirm the matter of cooperation with the Russian man.

"How long are you going to go, Theo?" Mia looks sulky while hugging a thick blanket that covers her body to the chest. The woman sat leaning against the head of the bed with a very chaotic appearance. However, Mia did not seem to care about that.

Matteo, who had just finished wearing his jacket, immediately turned to his wife. A calm smile he threw to comfort Mia who was struggling with her discomfort due to cravings. Immediately approached the young woman. Matteo then sat on the edge of the bed while facing Mia. "I have to go, but it won't be long" she said gently as she tidied up Mia's disheveled hair.

"Why not tell Zucca to represent you, Theo," whined Mia while holding Matteo's hand. He didn't want Matteo to leave even for a little while.

"Can't, my dear. This concerns a weapons order from Sergei Redomir. So, I have to handle it directly. Take it easy, I won't be long. I'll have the waiter accompany you here. If you need something, you can ask for it right away" Matteo said.

"I don't need a waitress, Theo. I just need you," said Mia getting spoiled. He immediately rushed into Matteo's arms and held him tightly. While Matteo just laughed amusedly in response to the attitude of the wife.

"Good, Cara mia. Should I carry you wherever I go?" guru Matteo's.

"If you want," said Mia spoiled.

Hearing Mia's reply, Matteo only scratched his forehead. "Unfortunately .. I don't want to," replied the man, who immediately greeted a pinch from Mia. Matteo chuckles. Mia also seemed to be amused by that simple joke. Little memories they will always remember.
