The charm of Mr. De Luca

Unforgettable Moment (Extra Part)

A beautiful morning with a clear sky overshadowed the city of Brescia. Matteo stood in front of the mirror and noticed his reflection in the mirror. The front of the white shirt he was wearing at the time. Not long after, Mia came and stood behind her husband. He then put a black coat on the tall body. Mia held him from behind. The woman buried her face in the back of her husband's body. “I love you, Theo,” said Mia with both hands coiled in Matteo's stomach. It felt so warm and friendly, to a Matteo de Luca.

The man with the black coat only smiled calmly as he placed his palm on the back of Mia's hand. He rubbed it slowly and as if he was giving an answer without a word.

Matteo then turned over and immediately greeted the sweetness of Mia's lips. For a while, the couple seemed to enjoy what they were doing. “Have you told Damiano that we'd take him away?” matteo asked after kissing his wife. Gently and soulfully caressed Mia's delicate cheeks for a moment.

“Ya,” replied Mia who then tidied up her hair and clothes. He also wears a long calf coat. “Usually Uncle Damiano always refused if we invited him out. Today will probably be something different for him,” Mia said.

“He always busied himself in the plantation. There is no harm in us forcing a little so that he is ready to come,” reply Matteo. “Oh, I'm so jealous. Miabella was much closer to Damiano than to me. Do you think I'm not a good father?” Matteo looked to be frowning his black and thick brows.

“Don't talk like that, Theo,” said Mia disagreed. “Listen to me. You are the best father and husband. Uncle Damiano loves Miabella very much, and I'm happy about it. You should feel that way too, honey,” Mia cupped the husband's handsome face and kissed him again. “Mari leave. Today we will have fun,” take Mia while grabbing Matteo's hand and pulling her out of the room. Matteo did not refuse. He followed Mia down the hallway, until she finally arrived at the living room. However, they did not find Damiano and Miabella there.

“Where are they?” matteo asked as he spread his gaze to every corner of the spacious room.

“They must have been waiting for us on the page,” Mia said. He pulled back Matteo's hand and took him out to the front yard, and it was true that what they were looking for was indeed there. Damiano is playing with Miabella, who is now two years old. The little girl grew more and more beautiful and also very active. Not infrequently he made a scene around Casa de Luca with all his behavior that sometimes made Mia and Matteo overwhelmed. The other is Damiano. The man was always patient in taking care of the brunette girl.

That day, Mia and Matteo plan to take Damiano to go for a walk, eat outside, and do everything fun. Both intended to give a surprise birthday, to the man who is now even fifty-five years old. Damiano didn't seem to realize about it, so he seemed to be unable to say anything. Damiano was unexpected when suddenly Matteo and Mia congratulated him with a small gift.

“What is this, Son?” Damiano seemed so moved by the treatment he received from Mia and Matteo. The look on his face implied something full of deep meaning, as he looked at the black-colored box without any decoration on it.

“Open, Uncle,” said Mia with her sweet smile. While Matteo was busy feeding Miabella who was busy eating ice cream on the shores of Lake Garda while enjoying the beauty of the scenery of the place.

Without lingering, Damiano immediately opened the gift box containing gifts from Matteo and Mia. Instantly, a wide smile spread on his old face that had started to wrinkle. He looked at all the gifts.

A hat, a watch, and a new cell phone. Damiano then turned his gaze to Mia and Matteo in turn. “A truly amazing gift, son,” he said full day.

“You need a new hat, Damiano. It feels bored to see you every day with the same hat,” said Matteo without distracting him from the little Miabella who looks so happy to see various activities around the lake area.

Damiano laughed at Matteo's words. "That's my favorite hat, Theo."

“Theo's right, Uncle. I deliberately chose a watch, so that Uncle did not forget the time if he was on the plantation or in the checking warehouse. Uncle also needs a new phone with a camera and all the adequate supporting features. So, just keep your old phone Uncle even though it is a historic phone,” Mia chimed in. He explained the reason of all the gifts he had given to Damiano.

“Mia's right, Damiano. Everything will change. The old generation will change with the new. It has become a law of nature that cannot be opposed. I want you to live a long life, so that you can always accompany us all. After all, Mia and I desperately need an old man like you who can guide us both,” Matteo said. The longer, the thought of the man grew wiser and calmer.

After deciding to resign from the position of clan chairman, Matteo did change a lot. The man who used to be famous for his temperament character, is now much more in control. Matteo became more religious with his regular church visits to pray. His intention in order to cleanse himself of all the sins of the past, he really did it seriously. It made Mia feel so moved and happy of course.

“Hear uncle it? Theo-ku now has changed a lot,” said Mia while glancing at the husband.

“You are always filled with a million charms, Mr de Luca,” Mia replied. “Don't forget, today Uncle Damiano is having a birthday, so please don't show your charm now because I will definitely pay much more attention to you,” Mia said in response to Matteo's naughty glance.

“Hey, after all who would glance and be fascinated with an old man like me,” joked Damiano as he chuckled. Simultaneously, Miabella got off her seat and pulled Damiano's hand. The little girl took Damiano for a walk.

“See, even the little girl is fascinated by you, Uncle,” timpal Mia with her laugh.

“Where do you want to go, Bella?” Damiano asked in a very gentle tone.

“To there,” show Miabella straightening her index finger in the direction she wants. However, before agreeing to the little girl's request, Damiano turned to Matteo as if to ask for permission. Matteo replied with a small nod. Damiano stood up and followed Miabella's invitation. He led the little girl to look at another corner of the place.

Meanwhile, Mia was watching them from a distance. Another case with Matteo who looks fun to pay attention to Lake Garda with very clear water. The one small, simple happiness he creates and feels so meaningful is togetherness. He may no longer be the number one man in the de Luca clan, but that is not what Matteo is looking for right now. The presence of Mia and also her little daughter Miabella, has actually led her to a position that maybe not even everyone can reach her. Matteo's life is complete and perfect with being a husband and a father who is always there for the two most precious women in his life now.

“What if we go to church for a while?” cetus Matteo on their way home.

“Not a bad idea, Theo,” replied Mia. Damiano agreed. Matteo turned his jeep to one of the churches in Milan. After arriving there, they immediately went down and entered the building. Matteo and Mia looked very fervent in prayer. I don't know what they were saying at the time, only they and God knew.

Calm and peaceful, that is what Matteo felt after he broke away from the dark world circle full of intrigue and emotion. The man occasionally looked at the two palms that had been holding no weapons for a long time and were stained with the blood of his opponents. “Have I been completely clean, Lord? If I have not, in a way that I must blot out all the sins that I have committed, so that I can be reborn into a new person. Help me to remove all burdens and let go of any worldly desires that will only burden me later. Thank you for all your blessings and graces. Thank you for sending such amazing people into my life. Thank you, because you have given Mia and Miabella to perfect all the shortcomings that I have felt so far. Thank you for everything, Lord,” Matteo said in his heart. The same sentence and always he said as a closing of the prayers he said. A moment later, Matteo opened his eyes slowly. Glanced to the side, to Mia who was looking at him with a beautiful twinkle and a smile full of love. Matteo responded to that with the same thing.

“I want to go home and get some rest, Cara Mia,” Matteo said slowly.

“You can rest in peace and without distraction from anything on my lap, Theo. Wouldn't you be happy if I hugged you while you were asleep? I will always do it for you, My Husband,” the feeling of having to just slap into Mia's chest, making the brown-haired beauty involuntarily shed her tears.

Immediately, Matteo wiped away the tears that had fallen on the corner of Mia's lips. “Whatever happens to me, please never cry about it. I just want to give you a smile of happiness, not pain. Therefore, remain a strong Mia, especially now we have Miabella,” Matteo then move from her seat and invite Mia to step out. Damiano was waiting near the car. He did not show a tired expression despite having to follow Miabella to and fro.

The atmosphere around the church was not too crowded, probably because it was late afternoon. Mia had tidied up the front of the coat that Matteo was wearing. Something he does every day, especially when Matteo is leaving for work. “You should always look neat and handsome, although in fact I fear there will be many women looking and even teasing you, Theo,” Mia said without letting go of her smile. She also took the time to kiss her husband, before he opened the car door for her.

“There are many women, but to me you are the only one, My dear,” replied Matteo. He invited Mia to come in. Afterwards, Matteo circles his car and intends to open the door. However, suddenly the man was stunned with a strange look at Mia who had not taken her eyes off him since. Matteo then smiled faintly.
