The charm of Mr. De Luca

Finito

Mia wakes Matteo up. One wobble on the man's shoulder did not wake him up. Mia shook her broad shoulders once more. “Master, I have prepared all the equipment,” whispered Mia while bringing her lips closer to Matteo's ears. However, Matteo still did not respond.

“Master!” call Mia again. He slightly raised the volume of his voice. However, again Matteo did not respond to his call.

“Master!” this time Mia half yelled out to the man.

Surprised, Matteo opened his eyes. Reflexes gripped Mia's neck, until the girl was wide-eyed and tried to remove Matteo's hand from her neck. “Ti-dak .. yes-ngan!” mia painstakingly said those words. He did not expect that Matteo would do such a thing to him. Mia was almost out of breath.

Matteo finally woke up. The handsome man stuttered. He immediately released the grip of his hand from Mia's neck. “Sorry. I ... I had a bad dream. I thought you were someone else,” he said. He seemed worried that he had hurt the girl. “I'm sorry, Miss,” fret Matteo with her breath a little panting.

Mia inched away and turned her body back. He then grabbed a plastic bag that had been thrown from his hand. “I brought everything necessary to get the bullet out of your arm,” said the girl with a terrified expression that had not yet disappeared from her sweet face.

Mia then took out one by one the items she got from the pharmacy earlier. Hand trembling. The girl looked very frightened.

Matteo can understand that. He tried to re-liquefy the tense atmosphere that Mia felt. Matteo, who was sitting against the wall while straightening his legs, immediately touched the back of Mia's hand gently. He had never done anything like that to any girl.

Matteo feels the need to make the girl calm again, because if Mia feels tense, then she worries Mia is unable to do her job properly. Meanwhile, what Mia will do is related to her safety. Matteo was unable to let the bullet continue lodged in his arm.

“Help me!” pinta Matteo between her heavy breaths.

“What should I do, Mister?” mia asked with a face still filled with fear. His body was trembling even more as Matteo's hand was still on top of his.

“First, calm yourself, Miss! Don't worry because I won't hurt you,” replied Matteo. His breath still sounded so heavy. Mia nodded. He tried to calm himself.

“Second, take off the cloth that was rubbing my arm! Third ... state your name!”

Mia who had just bowed her face, now ventured to look at the beautiful face, decorated with a pair of gray eyes. This was the first time he had been that close to a man.

“Call only ... Mia!” said the girl slowly. He hid his beautiful face from Matteo.

“Alright, Mia. Do what I say!” matteo's word was still with his voice that sounded so heavy. Mia nodded in understanding.

Very carefully, Mia took off the seedy cloth that wrapped around Matteo's stocky arms. The blood around the gunshot wound began to dry up. Mia then poured alcohol over Matteo's wound, making the man screech softly.

“Ma-sorry,” said Mia nervously.

“It's okay. Continue!” tell Matteo to turn his face away. Sweats flowed more and more on his forehead and neck. As much as possible he endured the pain of the wound.

Mia continued her work. He then cleaned the blood and dirt around Matteo's wound. Without warning, Mia took the tweezers and heated them for a while with an automatic match. After that, he carefully tried to pull out a bullet from Matteo's arm, and made the man groan loudly as a result of enduring the intense pain. You can imagine how painful it is, because it is done without anesthesia at all.

“Live a little more,” says Mia. His lithe hand picked up a tiny round object full of bloodstains from inside Matteo's arm. He then threw it on the floor.

Matteo closed his eyes and closed his lips so as not to scream, until the small operation was over.

“Finito!" exclaim Mia. The girl looks happy. This was his first operation with a human patient and it worked. Her sweet smile spread so sincerely she gave to Matteo that despite feeling very tormented, but was finally able to breathe with relief because the small torture was finally finished as well.

“Thank you, Mia,” Matteo said with a gasping breath. He grimaced small.

Mia did not believe what she had just done. There was a sense of haru in his heart. However, his happiness was much greater.

“Are you a doctor or something?” ask Matteo.

“That's just an ambition, sir. I dare not dream too far,” replied Mia slowly.

Matteo looked at the girl for a moment. Never had he met such an innocent sweet girl. During this time, Matteo only knew girls with naughty smiles and flashing temptations. But Mia looks very different. The girl was so naive and gentle.

Mia still lowered her face. While Matteo continued to watch her intensely. He seemed to be observing every hidden corner of the girl. Matteo feels that there are many interesting things that have made him feel intrigued, to be able to get to know the girl further.

A few moments later, a strange sound was heard that made the silence between the two of them feel no more shahdu. Mia covered her mouth with the back of her hand. “Are you hungry, Mister?” mia asked, with a smile.

Matteo looked very embarrassed.  But he can't pretend anymore. Then she smiled a little.

“Shortly! I will make something for you,” Mia said as she moved from her seat. Along with that, there was the sound of her phone ringing.

It was a call from Mr. Gio. Mia answered immediately. He knew that his father must be worried because he should be home by now.

“Mia, where have you been? Why not go home yet?” the voice of Mr. Gio with his extremely anxious tone.

“I ... I'm still in the store, dad,” Mia replied rather nervously. He looked at Matteo. The man shook his head slowly, hinting for Mia to not say anything about his whereabouts.

"Hurry home! Just now Police Chief Leonardo is making a broadcast on local television. He said our district is on alert" Mr. Gio. 

"Why father? What's the problem?" mia asked half a whisper while glancing at Matteo who was still seriously listening to the conversation.

"One of our men found a body in the northern canal. He claimed to have seen the murder with his own eyes, and he also recognized the characteristics of the culprit who may still be wandering around here" explained Mr. Gio again.

Fear goes back to greeting Mia. He gulped his saliva and asked, "What, then, are his features?"

"Hair shoulder length, wearing a black leather jacket, height of about 185 cm, and ...."

Mia could no longer concentrate on listening to the father's explanation. His eyes were now fixed on Matteo full of anxiety.
