My boy, I Love You
Chapter 32. Stealing Your Heart

"All visitors ...." The voice of an officer gave information that when feeding the predatory fish had arrived. They also turned on the speed-measuring timers of the fish in the aquarium in spending a few kilos of meat to be put in by them.

Some people began to gather, turning on their recording devices and some more enjoying the scene before them.

"What if we catch some of them for us to eat?" it was in Lia's ear.

"That's not very funny, Sam. They are a very terrible species" said Lia.

"But I'm so hungry, Lia."

Lia covered her ears, "Stop whining, even you look like Leon now."

"Isn't that good, a son is similar to his father" he said.

"But not otherwise, a father looks childish like his son."

Sam laughed out loud, surprising Leon. The little boy turned his head, he smiled and waved his hands at his parents.

Leon came to them. "Are we going home?"

"We'll meet at the foodcourt, Leon. You're free to find us there. Your daddy alone hungry. He already wants to use the piranha fish meat in the aquarium" replied Lia.

Leon laughs. His white teeth were neatly arranged. "alright. I'll be right there."

"H--he's so sweet like me" Samuel said. Lia frowned while glancing at the man beside her.

"Maybe he would be very cold and cruel if he lived with you" said Lia.

"Have you not felt that I was being sweet today?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, you're right. You look so sweet today, and I really can't believe you're gonna stick it out all year with me." Lia felt relieved after successfully saying the thing that really stuck in her heart.

They walked out of the place, past the exit which was the place of sale of souvenirs.

Sam halted his steps, his gaze falling on a blue octopus-shaped doll with big cute eyes. He immediately took one and gave it to the cashier.

Lia laughed and shook her head. Yeah--after Ray's death, he could finally start accepting the reality. He can enjoy the joy of his life.

"Why are you laughing?" tanyakanya.

"remarkable. I never thought you were that child. Even Leon never whines for a doll" he said.

Sam thrust the doll at him. "But I want to give it to you. Right now I want to become an octopus with many hands on its body. It would be very easy to steal your heart, if I had many hands, Lia."

Lia shook her head, "You're wrong, no one can steal it from me. I'm just gonna give it to the right person."

Sam sighed. The struggle felt so long to get the heart of his beloved woman back.

"Granny Diane!" the little boy shouted for a moment after opening the door of his house.

"Leonard, baby." The old woman opened her arms wide for the little boy who was running towards her.

"Granny, I miss you." The boy tightly hugged the white-haired woman's waist.

Diane chuckled until her glasses came down to the tip of her nose. "Oh my God, Leon. You look bigger now and you're getting better-looking."

Leon laughed at Diane's jokes, he understood, there was no way she would grow up that fast in just a few months.

"Granny, stay here with us" he said.

Lia immediately greeted him after he finished unloading his luggage.

"Leon, Granny has a job that can't be left for too long" Diane said. He spread both his hands back to Lia.

Diane chuckles. "Well, I'll stay a few days for my favorite grandson."

This time Diane's eyes were on Samuel. He was surprised to recognize a face similar to the little boy in his arms.

"Lia, is she a--"

Lia nodded slowly. Samuel approached her. He extended his hand to the old woman in front of him.

"So-" Diane's tongue became a hoax, she seemed unable to reveal so many questions in her brain. The old woman returned her hand.

"My name is Samuel Augusto."

The old woman immediately released her hand. He sat back in his chair.

"Leon, rest baby. Granny needs to talk to Mommy about something." Lia ordered her son into her room.

"So, what's your plan now?" ask Diane without making small talk.

"We be-" Lia's words were immediately cut off by Samuel.

"We'll be planning our wedding soon. Because after all Leon needs both of their parents." Samuel said that sentence very plainly.

The young lady beside him immediately rounded her eyes. "Sam! Didn't I tell you, I haven't even told you."

"You'll be sure, over time, Lia. Are you gonna waste time so Leon grows up without his father?" samuel confirmed himself.

Diane looked at the two in confusion.

"If I may mediate. Samuel, do you love Lia?" ask Diane. His eyes looked sharp from behind his thick glasses.

"Yess Mam's. I love him so much." Samuel answered loudly.

"And you're Lia?" The woman shared the same question with her adopted daughter.

"I'm not sure, Mom. Because of his previous attitude, he was so cold, coercive and rude." Lia answered with doubt.

The old woman pushed back her glasses back to where they were while sighing.

"Love can't be forced, Samuel. But as a parent, you should not be selfish. The child needs both parents intact" says Diane. He rested his back on his chair.

"So that's your job. Think carefully. Oh, I'm so tired. Flights for women my age are excruciating." The old woman was twitching her shoulders and neck with her hands.

"And Samuel, please respect Lia. You don't know how she suffered when she had to leave this country because she was pregnant with your son. You don't know how bad he was in those days. How hard it was to be a single mother in her youth" advises Diane.

Tears suddenly dripped from his net. The memories of the past re-emerged in his mind. Memories of when she had to receive punishment from her father, to give birth without the support of a husband.
