THE MAFIA!

The Chapter 199

The morning filled with the sad drama of Jia for failing to leave the house was over. The time to go home from college to Jio has arrived. So is the case for the aspiring doctor, Virginia Brown.

Jio stood beside his car, leaning his waist against his blue Bugatti body. Look at Virginia who has now entered the car to go home.

"Bye, Jio!" Virginia waved her hand.

"Bye!" reply Jio smiled faintly.

So Virginia drove forward her car, after closing the window glass on the steering door.

While Jio snorted annoyed, as a result of the phone that never stopped vibrating in his pants pocket.

📞 "Hem?" snickered Jio picked up the call on his phone.

📞 "Sister Jio a long time ago! I can't wait to buy a present!" exclaim Gerald from there.

📞 "You're like a girl!" annoyed Jio.

📞 "Come on, Brother! Didn't Jio say he came home yesterday at 1! It's 2 o'clock!" grunky Gerald. "Must be Kak Jio dating first! Ngaku hayo!"

📞 "Don't say much! I'm home!" jio answered ignoring his youngest brother's sentence.

📞 "Okay, Brother!" exclaimed Gerald, but this time with a fluffy smile.

Jio put the phone back in his pants pocket. And immediately rushed into his car to pick up his youngest sister.

***

The blue Bugatti Divo is speeding through the hustle and bustle of Rome. Mixed with different types of cars. Overtaking - salipan with other sports cars.

"Sister, teach me how to drive a car!" said Gerald who had been sitting next to him since a few minutes ago. "Kak Jio's car is really cool!" the thrill of observing Jio's luxury car.

This is the first time the Xavier family's youngest son has entered a car worth 80 jt dollars more.

"I have no right to teach you," Jio replied casually, "just ask Daddy!"

"I've talked to Daddy. But Daddy said he was waiting for me to turn 15! That means next year. It's been too long!" his gerutu was singing lips.

"Yes, just do it!" answer Jio lightly.

"But I heard Kak Jio learned how to drive a car from the age of 13! It's in the temple!" gerald Protest. "Why during my time at the temple did not see anyone who was 13 years old taught cars!"

"Only the best students are taught to drive early!" answer jio again - again with his casual tone.

Gerald pursed his lips lazily. The handsome face was suddenly tangled, because - because he realized that he was not as good as his brother. Not as genius as big brother.

"I'm not as good as Kak Jio" he said later, "Sister does deserve to be the crown prince of the Black Hold Clan." he continued proudly. "In addition to being handsome, this brother of mine is also very genius! And one more! Be loyal!" What a complete package!"

Jio glanced at his sister at a glance. He was not at all big-headed hearing every word that slid from his sister's lips. Praised even in puja became commonplace for a Georgio Xavier Sebastian.

Without feeling, Jio's car has entered the parking area of one of the malls in the city of Rome, Centro Commerciale Porta.

Now the two young men began to walk around, mingling with other mall visitors. The difference Jio and Gerald had with them was, the two handsome youths became the center of attention.

If Gerald carves a sweet, handsome smile. So Jio put on his cold and flat face. Without a friendly smile, let alone a seductive smile of the opposite sex. It was completely different from the 14-year-old beside him.

"I didn't expect, we're the center of their attention!" gerald lirih. A charming smile did not drop a bit from her lips.

But Jio completely ignored the proud words of his sister. Because what? Yep! Of course because the young master is used to being the center of attention wherever he is.

"Stop, Brother!" exclaiming Gerald stopped his brother's steps.

Jio stopped with his expression. Following the direction of Gerald's view that leads to a gallery of knick knacks for women. Jio squinted his eyes, thinking what Gerald wanted to buy at such a store.

"We're in, brother!" Gerald pushed his brother's shoulder to enter Galery.

Jio followed his sister's desire to enter the place. Although his heart is not whole sure will get a suitable gift for his sister's friend.

"Welcome to our gallery.." greet a woman dressed as a rabbit, with a bunny earlobe.

"Hem!" gerald smiled kindly.

Gerald walked around and glanced to the right and to the left. While Jio just followed from behind with his flat expression.

"Hey... Can we help you?" greet a karyawati. "What are you looking for?" ask him to Gerald.

"Gift to my girl friend!" answer Gerald.

"Friends or girlfriends, right?" ask the shopkeeper girl who was about 20 years old.

"Ep... Now the friend... But I don't know later! Hihihi!" Gerald smiled clumsyly.

"Ohh.... some kind of potential girlfriend?" guess the girl.

"Maybe!" sahut Gerald's.

"Did he like music?"

"A.. Don't know!" answer Gerald.

"Did he like the road?"

"A...." Gerald thought back, "don't know either!"

"Ep... Does he like to exercise?"

"Hahah!" Gerald breathed a heavy sigh. "I don't know what he likes at all!" answer's plain. "I don't even know what his real face is now. Really beautiful, or turned ugly!"

Yawl!

Jio smelled his smile. This little sister is really embarrassing. Already in a place like this. Sok - sok an buy a gift meeting. It turned out that his face did not know yet.

If Jio was to stoop his smile, then it was different from the shopkeeper girl. He's almost blown away. But its job is to appreciate and respect buyers. So the girl held her laughter half dead.

"Alright, I know what gifts are suitable for him!" said the shopkeeper.

"Seriously?" ask Gerald, "try to show me!"

"Wait a minute." she replied kindly.

The girl left Gerald and Jio waiting between the gift knickknacks storefronts with a pretty fantastic price tag.

Just the two of you, Jio kicked his sister's leg in annoyance. Of course it made Gerald complain of pain. Jio's strength is not playing at all. Even though he thought it was just a small blow.

"What's so embarrassing?" gerald asked, squinting his eyes. Hands still rub the calf that hurts.

"Are you sure you don't know what his face looks like now?"

"Absolutely not, brother!" answer Gerald. "Even her profile picture is just a teddy!"

This time Jio was actually chuckling without a sound. Gerald's meeting with the girl in the past was more tragic and sad than her and Virginia.

"All I know, she used to be the prettiest in class!" gerald smiled. Remembering the beauty of a 10-year-old girl from four years ago.

Jio flicked his lips lazily. Although he still sees the beauty of Virginia after 7 years of not meeting, not necessarily Gerald's friends will also remain beautiful after four years of not meeting.

"Hi, check this out! There are some gifts that are suitable for his friend." said the shopkeeper girl. Show some pink gifts on the display case.

Gerald observed one by one the gifts that might be one of his friend's favorites.

"In my opinion, this gift must be liked and used by women!" said the shopkeeper girl, showing her a flat pink box.

"What's that?" ask Gerald.

While Jio only observes by putting on a careless face. But the young master's eagle's eyes were watching - look.

"Wallets!" the girl replied showing the contents.

"Why wallet?" ask Gerald.

"Because all women love to shop! And they love to collect wallets!"

"If you like shopping, it should be the collection, not the wallet! But money!" answer Gerald as he is. "Ah, but I don't have any money!" he continued getting more and more innocent.

Suddenly the shopkeeper girl gawked at him. It's true, but he didn't expect Gerald to answer that.

While Jio glanced exasperatedly at his sister for the second time.

"Why? Is something wrong?" ask Gerald.

"No Young Master." replied the shopkeeper. "Just.." the girl hung up her sentence, hesitating to continue.

"That's it!" gerald concluded, "according to Brother, is this suitable?" ask Gerald to Jio.

Jio carefully observed the small wallet. It looks funny and it fits perfectly, but ...

"No!" answer Jio flat.

"Aren't you sure?"

"Hum..."

"It doesn't fit!" gerald said to the guard, "what is this?" he lifted a large box containing seven small boxes. Where each box contains a necklace with a picture of 7 men characters.

"That's a necklace!" the shopkeeper replied, "made of diamonds that are mated with pure 24 gold. You can choose one."

"But why are the pictures all men?" gerald asked after opening the box one by one.

The shopkeeper smiled, "it was a picture of the character of BTS member K-POP. Average teenage girls your age like them."

"Huh?" gerald's lips with a hint of laughter, "what are they as handsome as they really are?"

The shopkeeper again smiled, "looking like you!" the answer is a funny smile. The shopkeeper was really anxious to face Gerald who ..... Yeah, thats.

Smiling proudly, "the Xavier men are indeed handsome!" he said proudly, "look at my brother! The haul is matchless!"

Jio glanced coldly at his sister. But the shopkeeper glanced at the embarrassment - the embarrassment at Jio. Inwardly, he had been trying to be indifferent to Jio. Because of his good looks and silence Jio really made himself freeze.

"Try the other prize! I don't want any more pictures to be taken than mine!"

"Well, this is a picture of a butterfly, who knows what you like!" the shopkeeper opened the necklace with a pink butterfly pendant.

"What do you think of my brother?" ask Gerald to Jio.

Jio looked back carefully, "not suitable!" answer later.

Gerald gasped in shock at Jio's reply, "why doesn't it all fit?" his protest.

"Because it's ugly!" answer Jio briefly.

And that made the shopkeeper chuckle.

"Ah, I forgot! Brother is a nerd! How to seduce a woman! Any idea what a gift is for a woman!" his gerrick. "All right! I better ask myself!"

"Quick select one! I'm bored here!" jio Sembur.

"Yes! Aye!" gerald replied, "I want a necklace of butterflies!"

"Don't! That's too ugly!" jio Sahut.

Gerald gave a puzzled glance at Jio, "then just the wallet! She must have liked it!"

"That's ugly!" sahut Jio again.

"Then what?" gerald Protest.

"Give me this box!" Jio takes BTS's necklace box and hands it to Gerald. "He must have liked it!" abugn.

"Huh?" squeak Gerald.

"Don't protest too much! If not, pay for it yourself!" jio concluded.

"Haaa.." sighed in horror. "All right!" gerald's resignation doesn't wince.

Then finish their destination to the Mall. Buy a meeting gift for Gerald's friend.

"If he doesn't like it, Brother Jio has to take responsibility!" gerald said as the car drove off the Mall.

Jio poked his lips. No matter what his youngest brother said.
