The charm of Mr. De Luca
La Angioletta



The man was still aiming at Matteo. His index finger was already attached to the trigger of the gun he was holding. A little more, the weapon would spit its bullets at the man standing quietly across the street. However, the attention of the man in the car was then centered on the woman who had just come out and approached Matteo. The woman who was pregnant was very spoiled for her husband. She touched her husband's face affectionately, and took his hand and spread his head over Matteo's broad shoulders. While Matteo replied by rubbing the stomach of the wife who had grown.


The man was stunned for a moment. There is a new life in the woman's stomach. He imagined how sad the beautiful woman would be if until the husband was gone, and could not accompany the moments when he would give birth to their baby.


In the end, the man lowered the weapon he had prepared to detonate towards the target. Back dismantling the damper, then he took a bullet out of the gun. After that, the man immediately put all the items in his car dashboard. For a moment, the man was silent while observing the couple towards the place where they parked the vehicle.


The man, who had intended to shoot, then decided to get out of the car and cross the road. He stepped quietly, approaching Matteo and Mia as well.


“How are you, Mr de Luca? What are you doing here?” one of them is Adriano D'Angelo.


Matteo, who was about to open the door for his wife, immediately turned his head. And so is Mia. “Mr D’Angelo?” the gray eyes of the man stared in astonishment. “What are you doing here too?” Matteo asked back.


“Nothing. I just happened to pass by. The plan I want to spend time alone with a walk around the city of Brescia before returning to Monaco,” replied Adriano with an eye toward Mia who was then wearing a scraf patterned with a famous brand. The scraf was a gift from her early pregnancy Mia.


“You look very suitable to wear that scarf, Mistress,” praise Adriano with a smile and a gentle look to the wife of Matteo.


“My wife is suitable to wear anything,” Matteo said while hugging Mia's waist and tucking her head warmly.


“You see? According to the doctor's estimate, less than one month later my wife will give birth,” she said while rubbing Mia's large stomach. Mia herself just smiled sweetly. He never thought because Matteo still looks jealous of Adriano.


“Wah, I'm so happy for you both. If there's anything you need, then I'm ready to help,” Adriano responded to Matteo's remarks with a very friendly tone.


“Thank you in advance for your concern, Mr. D’Angelo. But right now I don't need anything. After all, Theo and I were in a hurry to buy baby gear. We have to go back to Casa de Luca immediately to rest in the room and I want to straighten my legs of course,” Mia replied with index finger pointing at both calves that look swollen.


Adriano couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mia's expression that seemed so funny to her. His smile broadened with sparkling eyes. It was much different from when he had aimed at Matteo just a moment ago.


“Alright, then. Excuse me first. Have a nice day,” before saying goodbye, Adriano had time to greet Matteo and kiss the back of Mia's hand. After that, he turned around and walked back to his parked car across the street.


“Aduh ... how is this, Theo? I have to go to the toilet again,” heard the sound of Mia in Adriano's ear that made him stunned for a moment. However, Adriano resumed his steps and got into his car. From there, he again noticed Mia who entered the tavern again, while Matteo seemed to scratch his head.


There was a small smile on the corner of Adriano's lips. For some reason, the swish of happiness he also felt so sincerely, when he saw the happy hue that Matteo showed. Adriano did not immediately drive his car. The man pensively for a while. "Mia, I can kill anyone's life without fear, but why can't I kill my feelings for you?" adriano murmured softly in his reflection. A moment later he turned his eyes out.


Looks like Mia's back. The beautiful face of the woman implied an uneasiness, making Adriano try to look at her deeply.


Mia was worried at the time. He held onto Matteo's arm tightly. "What's up, Cara mia?" matteo asked in wonder mixed with curiosity.


"Theo, there's a blood patch on my pants," Mia looks so restless.


"What's? We'd better get to the hospital right away" Matteo rushes over Mia's shoulder and takes her into the car. Without lingering, he immediately started his car engine and left the place. From the speed of the car he drove, it was clear that Matteo was in a hurry. Adriano was very curious. He immediately followed where the car Matteo was driving.


After a while, Matteo's car appeared to enter the courtyard of a hospital. Adriano came in. He parked his car not far from Matteo's car which then re-covered Mia's shoulder and took her into the hospital.


For a moment, Adriano seemed to think. He just hopes nothing happens to Mia. However, the curiosity was enormous and kept forcing his heart to convince him of what was really going on. The handsome man with blue eyes, finally followed the small whisper that had been bothering him since. He walked boldly towards the entrance of the hospital.


In there, Adriano has not found the whereabouts of Matteo and Mia. He thought for too long. He decided to go back to his car.


Meanwhile, Mia has been handled by several nurses. "Your obstetrician has been in contact with us, Mrs de Luca. In a moment, he will arrive" the nurse told Mia, who was visibly agitated. "Stay calm" said the nurse again with a friendly smile.


"Doctors can only estimate the time of birth, sir. However, there are several factors that make the delivery time can be faster or slower. We better wait, because it could have been the opening took place sooner than the estimated date," explained the nurse again. Her hands did not stop checking for vital signs in Mia's body, such as blood pressure and the heartbeat of the mother and baby in the womb. Another nurse recorded the results of the examination and then nodded at each other.


"Mrs must continue to be calm, sir. For a while, your wife can rest. We'll check again later. Excuse me," the nurse said, then passed in front of Matteo. After the nurses died, Mia looked increasingly uncomfortable. Matteo approached him immediately.


"What do you feel, honey?" asked the gray-eyed man worriedly. He grabbed Mia's body. The woman began to grimace slightly, feeling the thing that made her uneasy.


"My stomach, Theo. It feels strange," complained Mia quietly.


Immediately, Matteo rubbed Mia's stomach feelingly. He also incessantly kissed his wife's forehead which began to be filled with sweat.


“See my face, Cara mia. Don't worry too much, breathe slowly and regularly, ” Matteo said when he realized that Mia was breathing fast and gasping for breath.


“Sick, Theo,” fingers Mia gripped Matteo's palm very tightly while grimacing. The woman had never felt such intense and excruciating pain.


“Do I need to call a doctor, or a nurse? Wait a minute, Cara mia,” said Matteo slowly as he was about to move from near Mia.


“Don't, Theo! Don't leave me!” prevent Mia half whining. Tears began to pour down the cheeks of the woman in pain. “It hurts so much, I'm afraid," said Mia occasionally grimacing softly.


“In a deep breath, my dear,” Matteo showed a calm demeanor, though in his heart he also felt a tremendous sense of timelessness.


“I was tight, I couldn't breathe,” Mia looked up, staring at the ceiling of the room. Slowly his eyes blurred, his hand grip on Matteo's palm began to weaken.


“How to mia!” exclamation Matteo. His instincts told him that something was wrong. In a hurry he pressed the emergency button on the hospital bed. At first glance, his gaze pointed to the lower part of Mia's body which had turned out to have been wet with fluid mixed with blood. "Oh, my gosh," he muttered with a tense face.


Fortunately, in just a split second, the nurses who had examined him came back with the obstetrician subscription Mia. Deftly, they attached a small hose into Mia's nose to help with breathing.


“You must remain conscious, Madam. Look at your husband's face,” the doctor patted Mia's cheek.


Slowly, Mia's breathing began to return to normal. He followed the advice of the doctor and looked at Matteo.


“I'm here, Cara mia. I will always be near you, ” whispered Matteo who brought her face closer to Mia's ears.


“A little more, Ladies and Gentlemen. The baby's head is visible. Scold when I command and stop according to my instructions,” said the doctor.


The other nurses, uphold the position of the bed, so that Mia half sat with her legs open.


“On the count of three, I order you to push,” said the doctor who was immediately replied to a soft nod by Mia.


Before long, Mia began to push and stop according to the doctor's instructions. In three breaths, a tiny baby came out and cried loudly. The doctor caught her and the nurses covered her with towels.


“A very beautiful baby,” said one of the nurses while putting it on her stomach over Mia's chest. Those who helped in the course of labor looked very happy.


“Congratulations, Mr and Mrs de Luca,” the doctor said with a look of relief.
