Since Gio's presence in this house Axel became more excited. He is happier and happier too. He must have been lonely all this time because he was living by Daniel.
Regarding Gio's father, after being treated, he was arrested and thrown in jail. With some evidence presented by the neighbors and also real evidence of persecution on Gio's body.
There were no other relatives Gio had, so Devan and I decided to take care of it.
Sometimes Gio has nightmares in his sleep. He screamed in fear. It must be that the events he had been going through all this time had made him down and depressed.
The door on the door from the outside was loud. Devan and I woke up because of it. Axel shouted loudly. Devan and I looked at each other. Axel shouted to mention Gio's name.
I walked to the door and opened it. Axel looks panicked.
"Gio, mommy. Gio's crying!" Axel pulled my hand into his room. Devan followed from behind. The boy was sitting on the floor hugging his knees. Soon I approached him.
"Gio, what's up, son?"
He raised his head. Red eyes. Lips vibrate.
"I was not intentionally! I didn't mean it!" that's all he said.
"What's up, son? Are you dreaming again?" I grabbed him in the arms.
"I accidentally hit him! He's looking for me, he's gonna kill me!" shakes when he speaks. Maybe he was dreaming again?
"Calm down, you're safe here. We promised to protect you." I rubbed his head until he calmed down.
We returned to the room after Gio fell asleep. Axel took good care of the boy. It seems Axel already loves Gio.
...***...
We were sitting in the family room. Me, Devan, and Axel. As usual I will help Axel learn. Not really helping, just helping. Evidently Axel never asked questions that are considered difficult. He can finish it himself.
Gio was seen in the doorway, he peeked at us from there. Stand still, watching us. The textbook he held in his hand.
"Gio?" Axel and Devan turned their heads as I called out his name.
"Come, Son!" I called the boy. He just shook his head. Gio has been living here for a month. Not much to say with me or with Devan, but with Axel he can be a good friend and speaker.
I got closer to them, and peeked at what Axel was showing. Axel closed the book quickly.
"This I made to show Gio!" said it.
"You're playing secret?" my lips.
"Hehe.." grinningly showing his toothless tooth.
"Ma. Can Gio stay with us forever?" Axel's words instantly made me and Devan stare at each other. Gio could have been adopted, just take care of the papers to certify him as a member of our family. But Gio still has his father.
"Gio..."
"Sure!" Devan immediately snatched my words.
"Gio can stay here anytime!" added again.
"Yeeeaaayy. Really pa?" Axel turned to Devan with a face full of happiness. Devan nodded, I looked at Devan in confusion. He just smiled. Could he have other plans?
Axel invites Gio to go to the back garden, they will definitely swim as usual. The air lately is very hot, it is most suitable if cooling yourself by swimming. I ordered Leon to accompany them. The twenty-three-year-old then walked towards where Axel and Gio were.
Leon, another subordinate whom I appointed to replace Hanson.
I moved to sit near Devan. Devan grabbed my pudak and put his head on my shoulder.
"I love it when Axel laughs, so anything I'll do for our son!" devan.
"Then what are we going to do with Gio?"
"We'll take care of it. As long as Gio is willing to stay with us, why not?" said it.
That's absolutely right. I have to trust Gio's business with Devan. And where is Gio going? His father was in prison and he had no other relatives to take care of him. Letting him go doesn't mean throwing the kid away!
I see Gio's a smart kid, only he's a little closed off to adults. I hope that as long as he is here he has faith in us to be able to dive into his heart!
