The Asmara Jugar the Mafia
Deep Scars

Mia fell silent. He had no intention of responding to Adriano's reply. The woman just lowered her head and played a ring around her ring finger. After a year of widowhood, Mia still wears a wedding ring from Matteo.

Meanwhile, Adriano continued his dinner until it ran out. After that, he sat down quietly and returned a gaze to Mia. “In this house there are four rooms. One room belongs to me, one occupied by Orlin. Two more are guest rooms. You can sleep in my room, because there the atmosphere and facilities are much more comfortable,” said Adriano flat. The man then moved from his seat. Meanwhile, Mia was still silent. “Didn't you hear me Mia?” adriano asked, glancing at the woman. He must really keep his patience.

Adriano exhaled slowly as he approached Mia. He was standing right next to the beautiful woman. “It's night, Mia. You should get some rest. Anyway, tomorrow I have to go to the resort to attend the inauguration before returning to Monaco,” Adriano said again with all patience in him.

Hearing Adriano's words just now, Mia was finally willing to raise her face and turn her head. Without saying much, the brunette just passed in front of Adriano towards the direction of the room. “No goodnight for me?” adriano shouted loudly enough, because Mia had disappeared behind the door of the room. “Oh, yes of course. The longer you look stupid in front of that woman, Adriano.” The blue-eyed man cursed him. He should have known that Mia would never care about him at all.

Adriano sat back on one of the dining table chairs. Her thoughts are now centered on Mia's story of Matteo's death. For Adriano, Matteo was too tough to beat easily in a direct duel. Maybe that's why, his opponent took the cheating path by attacking from behind and when Matteo did not feel ready. Then, who would dare to finish off the former head of the Clan de Luca? A big question that made Adriano feel so curious.

Occasionally the handsome man stomped the base of his nose pointed. How hard he thought and tried to guess, but he got no picture at all. Adriano continued to sit pensively until it felt like the night was getting late. Curiosity begins to tease the man, telling him to step towards the room Mia occupied. Adriano has no power against his heart. He let both feet wrapped in pantofel shoes lead him to the room.

Upon arrival at the door, the sturdy man was only fixated. Just as Adriano was about to knock, suddenly Mia's beautiful face appeared from behind it. They were both surprised. “Sorry,” says Adriano slowly. Mia responded to Adriano's apology with a slow nod. “Where are you going?” adriano asked, looking wrong.

“Um ... I ...” Mia looks confused.

“Do you need anything?” ask Adriano again who is now able to control his clumsiness.

Mia did not answer immediately. He stared at Adriano for a moment. A moment later, the woman signaled that she wanted to change clothes. “I wear this shirt for a day, and it feels very uncomfortable,” complained Mia slowly. He turned his gaze in all directions, for at that moment Adriano looked at him with a look of very different eyes.

Adriano smiled silently as she passed from before Mia without saying anything. Meanwhile, Mia seemed confused by the man's attitude. He stood at the door and looked around the room there.

Shortly after, Adriano appeared with a black T-Shirt round neck. He then handed the plain shirt to Mia. “Wear this,” he said.

However, Mia did not immediately accept the shirt. He was silent and hesitant. “Tak what. Rather than you feeling uncomfortable,” Adriano said again, making Mia finally reach out and accept it.

They both remained silent for a moment. Adriano or Mia seem to be confused about how and what to say. “Goodnight, Mia,” Adriano said at last. He left the woman still standing in the doorway, holding the T-Shirt Adriano lent for himself.

Next day. As usual, Adriano always wake up early and do physical activities. However, because in the house there is no supporting equipment, unlike in his residence in Nafplio, then he only does light exercise on the balcony directly facing the beach. Until the sun began to shine brightly, the man was just finished with his routine activities.

Adriano immediately entered and headed for the kitchen with a body full of sweat. However, he was stunned when he found Mia who was busy preparing breakfast there. The woman preparing breakfast was wearing only a black T-Shirt too loose for her body which now looked thin.

Adriano stood with his arm against the door. He watched the busy woman who did not realize her presence there, until Orlin came and greeted the master who was busy looking at Mia with meaningful eyes.

“Master,” greet the slightly fat woman slowly. “I already forbade him to go to the kitchen, but he remains ...” Orlin did not have time to continue his words, because Adriano immediately signaled that he had no problem with what Mia did.

Meanwhile, Mia begins to realize that there is someone else in the kitchen besides her. The long haired woman finally looked over. He looked at Adriano who was bare-chested with a body full of sweat. Mia's attention was also focused on three scars on the handsome man's stomach. Something that stirs up guilt in him.

“Good morning, Mia,” greet Adriano while walking closer. His gaze was not also distracted from the innocent face of the beautiful woman before him.

“Good morning,” reply Mia expressionless. “I've prepared breakfast. The woman who spoke to you earlier, gave me these materials ..” Mia did not continue her words. Maybe he was hesitant about the menu he made that morning.

“Name Orlin. He takes care of this place. Anyway, why do you have to trouble yourself?” Adriano responded to Mia's words with a small smile. Every now and then, the man had his slightly wet black hair back.

Meanwhile, Mia chose not to answer. He turned around and returned to the food he had prepared.

Adriano himself took a glass of water and gulped it down. After that, he turned his attention back to Mia. “Today, someone will come here. After breakfast, you should take a shower immediately, because we will go to Crete Island,” Adriano said calmly and immediately tasted the food that Mia made.

“Where?” mia asked while linking her eyebrows together.

“Today I have to attend the inauguration of the newly completed resort. I want you to come with me, Mia." Adriano's eyes and tone looked hopeful.

“No. What am I going with you for? I have absolutely no business with it,” refused Mia immediately.

“Unfortunately, I want you to come,” force Adriano to reaffirm. The look in his eyes implied that he did not want to accept rejection.

“I don't want to!” reject Mia firmly. “Again, all my clothes are in the inn. You want me ...”

“I've prepared everything you need, Mia. Quickly shower. In a moment there will be someone who helps you to get ready,” concluded Adriano while ending his breakfast. “I also want to take a shower first,” continued the man while moving from his seat and passed leaving Mia.

It was very clear that a tattoo with a black tiger filled the man's straight back. This is the first time for Mia, seeing a tattoo that is the emblem of an organization called Tigre Nero.

However, there was something that bothered Mia when she also saw the scar on Adriano's lower back. The beautiful man had many scars caused by him. “Say, Adriano!” mia cried unconsciously, to the man who was now in the kitchen doorway.

Adriano immediately turned his head and frowned. “What's up?” The bare-chested owner decided to go back and approach Mia. Clearly visible chest area and abdominal muscles are perfectly sculpted. Mia must admit, that Adriano is physically perfect.

“You, how did you survive such a severe wound? I see it looks like my shot once made it through your back to your stomach,” asked Mia in a slightly doubtful tone.

Adriano smiled faintly in response. “Maybe God still wants me alive, or perhaps He has other plans already prepared for me,” he replied diplomatically.

“You don't take revenge on me?” ask Mia again. His voice sounded more and more blunt.

Adriano is getting closer. He looked at Mia closely. “Somehow you've always been an exception, Mia. No matter how many times you hurt me, I never intended to repay you. Seeing you smile and happy, that was enough for me.” Adriano's gaze on Mia was so sad, as if there were thousands of unrest and sadness lingering there.

“Already. I take a shower first,” Adriano closed. He immediately turned his back and left Mia without looking back.
