Instantly, Mia turned her gaze to Adriano. Sharp the eyes he gave to the handsome man. However, Mia did not immediately respond to the man's invitation. He turned his gaze back to the side, through the glass window of the car that was stopping for a moment.
Adriano can understand that well. The blue-eyed man did not expect too much. All the answers that Mia would give, seemed to have been in her mind. He could guess it all. “I will return to Monaco after the affair here is done. If you change your mind, then come tomorrow morning to my place,” Adriano said still a little hope Mia will accept her invitation.
But Mia did not answer. The slender-bodied woman was still silent with a glare looking outward, at the atmosphere of the city that had been shrouded in dark color. “Take me home right now,” the door later in a voice that sounds so slow.
“I told you that we will have dinner first,” reject Adriano while running his car again.
“I told you I want to go home!” firmly Mia. He refused to accept Adriano's dinner.
Not wanting to argue, Adriano relented. “Good. We're not going to have dinner together. At least let me buy you something. You should keep eating. Your body looks so much thinner than the last time I saw it,” the blue-eyed man said without looking at Mia.
The words that Adriano spoke, had made Mia turn her eyes back to him. However, he did not respond at all. Mia was astonished that Adriano was paying so much attention to her.
Moments later, Adriano stopped her car in front of a food stall. After removing the seat belt, the man turned to Mia. “You want to come there or will wait in the car?” bargained for.
“I am here only,” replied Mia slowly and somewhat weakly. He seems to have been lazy with the man.
Adriano smiled calmly as he nodded slowly. “Good. Just sit back and wait for me to come back. Remember, don't go anywhere because it's night. I don't want you to get lost,” the message before getting out of the car.
Mia responded with just a weak nod. He noticed Adriano's steady step towards the entrance of the tavern. After confirming that the man had actually entered, Mia immediately opened the car door and left in a hurry. He took off Adriano's coat and left it in the vehicle.
Mia rushed out of the place. His steps look so fast. Every now and then, he looked back to make sure no one was following him. Mia continued walking with an anxious look, especially when the atmosphere was already dark. He then turned to a narrow road that could only be passed by a small car.
Faintly, from a distance appeared some men who were crowding on the side of the road. They were busy joking around, until it sounded quite loud laughter. Doubtful, Mia immediately stopped her steps. The woman was stunned and thought. He intends to return. Mia turned her body.
However, the woman had to come back stunned. Behind her had stood a large tall man who was staring with a small grin at her. “Are you lost, Miss?” ask her in Greek which Mia does not understand.
The woman did not answer either. He moved back slowly.
“Who are you? Looks like you're not a resident of this place. Are you looking for something or someone?” ask the man again as he walked forward.
But Mia did not answer. He shook his head slowly. “Sorry, I .. I was wrong .. I ....” Mia stuttered. He spoke another language to the man. For some reason, Mia can get lost by entering the narrow alley. There was a settlement that seemed to be a localization.
“Sorry, I'm lost." Mia intended to pass from before the man.
But soon the stranger prevented it. “Oh, apparently you're a newcomer? Why the hurry? Look, there's a bar there," he pointed at a wooden door that was deliberately opened. "Although it was only a small bar, but they had a very delicious drink. If you want, I can practice drinking together. After that, we can take a walk for a while. I'll show you how beautiful this city is at night, or maybe you'll want to know how great a Greek man is at satisfying a woman in bed.” The man again grinned as he intended to grab Mia's hand.
However, before he managed to touch Mia, a burly hand covered in a black coat first tightly blocked the man's wrist. “The woman doesn't understand what you're saying, Stupid!” the jolt of no other man was Adriano. He pulled and twisted the man's hand back, causing the attention of the men who were gathered on the other side of the narrow alley.
They immediately approached Adriano and seemed to be ganged on him. Adriano was still very calm at the time. He even tightened the check on the hand of the man who is now standing in front of him with his hands folded behind his back.
The man grimaced and shrieked softly. Meanwhile, the men who had numbered around ten people, immediately moved. They were trying to attack Adriano. Immediately, Adriano pulled out the gun from behind the coat. Make Mia immediately hide behind him.
Adriano pointed the automatic firearm at the men who were about to attack him. “Retreat!” firm jolt. “I can finish you all off very easily,” threatened Adriano. “Be aware that this entire district is already within my territory,”.
The crowd of people retreated slowly. Most of them looked surprised. “What are you?” ask one of them.
Atmosphere, instantaneous silence. The faces of those people looked pale. “An-you are Be-Benigno's top?” point one of the men towards Adriano with a stamped sentence.
“I'm sick of seeing your faces! Get out of here before I change my mind!” adriano jolted as he pointed the muzzle of his gun at them. Suddenly a bunch of delinquent men had run down the ridge.
Mia who stood behind Adriano's athletic body can now breathe a sigh of relief. However, it didn't last long. The gloomy roar was again present on her beautiful face. “Why?” tanyanya.
“What?” Adriano who was astonished, immediately turned his head and turned towards Mia.
“Why did you save me? Didn't I try to kill you?” A speck of tears fell on Mia's smooth cheek.
Adriano did not answer. He stared fixedly at the woman who had injured his heart and physique. It is clear that Mia's body weight is reduced drastically, although it does not reduce the level of beauty.
Mia looked down deeply to avoid the blue eyes that looked at her.
“I don't know why, Mia. A thousand times you refused and hurt me, I will still never be able to see you miserable or hurt,” Adriano replied, making Mia look up and stunned for a moment.
“I'll take you home,” he said slowly as he walked to his car parked on the side of the road. After entering the car, the two of them fell silent to each other. There was no sound other than the roar of the car engine that went soft.
“Ahead there,” points to Mia while pointing her index finger at a small inn located in the suburbs.
“You live alone there?” Adriano was in disbelief.
“Why?” mia's reply was a protest. He did not think that Adriano was a chatty man.
“Around here is prone area. For a while, you stay at my place. It's much safer there" Adriano said. He immediately turned his wheel around without waiting for approval from Mia.
“Stop! I'd rather stay at the inn than go back to your place!” reject Mia in a high tone.
Hearing that, Adriano immediately stepped on the brakes suddenly, to the point that Mia's body was jolted forward.
“Since when have you been so selfish?” hardik Adriano's. “Don't you think about your daughter's situation? What would happen if you were in danger here? What about Miabella who still desperately needs your attention?"
"Should have been, you went home and accompanied him to play! She's just as lost as you feel ', Mia!” Either run to where the calm attitude that has always been the hallmark of Adriano so far.
“I ... Me ...” Mia could not answer. She covered her face with both palms and started crying.
“I'm sorry. I'm out of control,” Adriano regretted.
“It has been a year since I received treatment in the hospital, to overcome the anxiety disorder that I returned to after the event at that time. Since Theo's departure, I've been crazy, Adriano. I can't see Miabella's face or I'll be hysterical. Every time I see Miabella's face, I always think of Theo,” Mia's cry gets louder until her shoulders shake.
“On the one hand, I miss my daughter a lot,” her sobbing.
Countless feelings of pain and regret that increasingly filled Adriano's chest. “I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry,” he said over and over again.
Without a second thought, Adriano immediately grabbed Mia's frail body. The man hugged her tightly. This time, Mia did not rebel at all.
