The charm of Mr. De Luca

Venice City

Venice is one of the cities that is famous for its beauty and romantic atmosphere that is no doubt. Located in Northeast Italy, Venice is a city consisting of many canals with gondolas as its main means of transportation. In addition, there is also a so-called vaporetto, which is a kind of boat that can accommodate a lot more passengers. Along the banks of the canal, there are several shops that are scattered throughout the small town. One of them is a shop owned by Soebagio Danuarta, or better known as Mr. Gio.

Mr. Gio is a man almost half a century old. A native Indonesian man, who has lived for a long time and become part of a beautiful small town. Mr. Gio used to be a private employee in Milan. His wife is also from the fashion city. However, after his wife died, he decided to move to Venice with his only twelve-year-old daughter, Mia.

In Venice, he met a widow named Magdalene. They finally got married. Magdalene had two daughters, one of whom was named Daniella and Francesca, the youngest of the three.

Since his marriage to Magdalene, Mr. Gio opened a simple shop that became the source of his livelihood so far. There are several menus presented there, which of course can not be separated from espresso and capuccino. Accompanied by her biological daughter Mia, who is now twenty-one years old. They were both shoulder to shoulder in managing that simple tavern. The usual shop is open from one o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening.

That afternoon, Mia had just finished getting ready. Still loyal to the ponytail hairstyle, he rarely scratched his wavy long hair. The brown hair is always neatly tied, almost in every atmosphere.

Mia is a sweet girl. A gentle smile with a shady look in the eyes, has always been the hallmark of the yellow-skinned girl. Slim body posture with a height of 170 cm, making it look very attractive even though only in a pair of jeans and a white press body shirt. Yes, Mia really likes white.

The white color represents him. Mia is an innocent and naive girl. Until his current age, he had never been seen holding a man. In fact, physically he has more than enough capital to be able to lure the opposite sex. However, the girl seemed not to intend to think of something that was passionate about romance.

“Mia! Please make sure all the box of his fist is filled!” exclaim Mr. Gio from behind the cashier table. The man with somewhat bald hair was getting ready. Usually, the store will be immediately crowded by visitors who are mostly tourists, every time the store is newly opened.

The shop belonged to Mr. Gio, is famous among the guides, who usually bring tourists from outside the city or even abroad. Although it is just a simple little shop, but the store offers a variety of menus with extraordinary flavors. Especially in the area, it is rather difficult to be able to find a store with a taste that is acceptable to the tongue. Therefore, recommendations from local people will indeed be very helpful for travelers who want to enjoy the beauty of Venice.

Mr Estimated. Gio is not wrong. A few moments later, it has begun to appear visitors who stopped at his modest tavern. Most of them, prefer a table that is outside. From there, visitors can eat good food by being treated to views of the canal with gondolas that continue to go back and forth as if without stopping. Mia was busy serving some visitors. He never complains much less is he lazy.

If the visitor is not too crowded, then the girl is able to serve all customers alone. However, if it is on a weekend or holiday season, then Mr. Gio will swiftly help him. They have a double duty in the tavern.

In fact, there is still Magdalene and her eldest daughter Daniella. However, the two women could not be relied on continuously.

That's how Mia and her father work every day. It was all he did on the sidelines of the lecture schedule and academic assignments that sometimes Mia had to bring and he worked in the store when there was free time.

At about five in the afternoon, Mr. Gio gets a call from Daniella. The girl reported that the mother fell after coming out of the bathroom. Mr. Gio felt so anxious, he did not expect anything bad to happen to his wife. It seems he is not ready to return to the world. “Mia, today we will close early,” said Mr. Gio while helping his only puppet princess who was tidying the table from dishes and dirty glasses used by visitors.

“What's up, Dad? Is there something wrong with mom?” mia asked with a worried face.

"As usual, Mia. He said he fell out of the bathroom. It was Dani who reported,” replied Mr. Gio. He looks deftly playing a lap on a table covered with a beautiful tablecloth with clear plastic on the outside.

Mia was stunned for a moment. A moment later he sighed softly and said, “Dad just go home. I'll close the shop later. Don't worry, I can handle it.” The girl tried to convince the father.

Mr. Gio stopped his work. The face of Mia is beautiful and has grown up. The man then corrected the position of the glasses he was wearing.

Mr. Gio was happy because he had succeeded in educating the princess well. He had carried out the mandate of his late wife before he died. She only hopes that Mia will always be a sweet and obedient Mia, until the time when she will have to really let go of the girl to be taken by her husband.

The girl with the ponytail hair. Mia smiled gently at the father, who was getting more and more wrinkles on her face. Of course, Mr. Gio is getting old. Mia should have allowed the man with a slightly fat body, to rest and let him enjoy old age, without having to constantly work to make a living to support the whole family.

“I can, Dad! Don't worry!” said Mia. He seemed to know what his father was going to say to him. Mia smiled sweetly again.

Mia looked at her father who hurriedly left the tavern. While from a distance, a man with sharp and beautiful eyes was also looking at the beautiful girl.

With slow steps, the man walked closer to Mia, but did not go straight to the girl. He waited until the atmosphere was completely dark, then the man moved to approach Mia.
