Bittersweet Memories

Next day.

Adriano returns to Casa de Luca to pick up Mia and Miabella. As planned, they will go to Milan to find a wedding dress for Mia. However, before Adriano came in and met his future wife, Coco had first confronted him at the front door while folding both hands in the chest. The face of the curly-haired man looked unfriendly at all. In fact, Coco was quite surprised to see Adriano in a fine condition.

“Adriano D’Angelo,” greet Coco with a tone that sounds so arrogant. He stepped before the blue-eyed beautiful man while continuing to fold his hands across his chest.

Coco walked around Adriano who just stood there and let the thick friend of Matteo do what he wanted. “How can you survive? Did you save a dolphin?” ask Coco wonder. He stopped circling Adriano and stood right in front of the man a few inches taller than him.

“God who saved me,” Adriano replied calmly and without any fear at all.

“Ah, of course. God let you live so you can repent soon,” led Coco.

“Yes, and Mia will lead me to the way of conversion. Just like he did with Matteo. I hope you already know our wedding plans,” Adriano replied with a satisfied smile on her handsome face.

Coco laughed loudly at Adriano's words which she thought were too confident. He shook his head while whispering slowly. “Mia married you just so you could help her uncover Matteo's death. Don't be overconfident and expect more, pal,” Coco rebutted while patting Adriano's arm, with her ridiculing attitude towards the man.

Meanwhile, Adriano himself still looks calm with a charming smile. The tail of her eyes followed Coco's movements, which indicated that she was also in an alert manner.

“We don't know what's going to happen in the future, Mr. Ricci. Just like what happened to me. Who would have thought that I could survive after being tossed about in the ocean. Oh, of course it would be big news, should I reveal it to the public. You and all those who were there that night .. I can't imagine what your reputation will be like.” Calm but pitched full of threatening remarks that Adriano made to Coco.

Coco was silent for a moment. The man let out a long breath, then exhaled slowly. “I was so scared to hear your threat,” responded with a wailing face. A moment later, however, the man laughed. “If you really want to expose it to the public, then you should have done that a few years ago. It's ridiculous if you're just talking about it right now."

"The case has been buried for too long. Matteo's body even now must have stayed bones only. Same with the case that night. Just like a food that has been stored for too long and become stale.” This time, Coco responded to Adriano's words with a serious tone and facial expression.

“No case has gone stale, Mr. Ricci. Especially for Adriano D’Angelo. Never mind. I still have important business now. So, if you want to continue this little debate, then we'll just move on next time. That's also if I have free time. Ah, but unfortunately I'm always busy.” Adriano smiled broadly.

A smile that of course was not aimed at Coco, but at a little girl who was heading towards her.

“Bella,” call the man warm. He lowered his body as he greeted Miabella who immediately scattered and hugged her tightly.

The little girl even kissed Adriano's left and right cheeks.

Miabella's attitude made Coco stumble. The little girl never did anything like that to her. Miabella was always cold and ordinary.

Not long after, Mia appeared in a black dress limited to the knee. Apparently, he was preparing to leave. The beautiful woman turned to Coco for a moment. “Hai, Ricci,” sapanya friendly.

“You're going, Mia?” ask Coco.

“We are going to Milan to look for a wedding dress,” between Adriano who stands while holding Miabella. “We must hurry, Mia,” he continued while passing by, without saying goodbye to Coco. Adriano walks towards his luxury parked sports car.

Meanwhile, Coco who was staring at the departure of Adriano and Miabella, now turned her eyes to Mia. “I've contacted Dani and Francy, to inform them that you've returned. Looks like, they will come here,” Coco said.

“I won't be long,” reply Mia slowly. “I go first. See you later, Ricci.” After saying goodbye, Mia soon caught up with Adriano who had been waiting near the car. Meanwhile, Miabella was already sitting sweetly in the backseat.

Coco simply watched them from the terrace. Her heart raged, seeing Mia have to do just that with Adriano. However, he could not break the spirit of the wife of his late friend, to be able to seek justice for the husband.

Not long after, Adriano's luxury sports car drove slowly leaving the spacious courtyard of the Casa de Luca.

Ferrari Portofino owned by Adriano, stop right in front of a luxury boutique located in the center of Milan. Carefully, he helped Miabella get off her vehicle.

“I can walk by myself, Daddy Zio,” reject the little boy when Adriano was about to carry him.

“Alright, Principessa (Mr Princess),” reply Adriano while laughing.

Meanwhile, Mia saw that familiarity with the sad highlight. His heart was sliced when Adriano called his daughter by the same nickname, as Matteo had given her.

Secretly, Mia wiped away her melted tears on the cheeks. He also had to put on a fake smile, as a friendly boutique clerk greeted himself and Adriano.

“Is there anything we can help you with, il signor e la signora (Lord and Mistress)?” ask the officer politely.

“Good. Follow me, Mr and Mrs.” The employee directed them to the inside of the boutique. There, there are various collections of wedding dresses that look very beautiful and elegant.

“Choose what you like, Mia. You can also take more than one,” Adriano said which made Mia slumped.

“Do you want to marry me many times, Adriano? Why do I take more than one wedding dress?” mia protest.

“Aren't we going to need a lot of dresses for the blessing and reception?” Adriano scrunched his forehead.

“Past, I ... I used to only need one dress.” Mia lowered her face deeply. Back to remember when the wedding with Matteo that went on not so smoothly.

“Mother. I want that too,” point Miabella. Her tiny fingers lead to one lacy wedding dress, which looks very luxurious and beautiful.

Mia replied, Adriano went straight to the little girl, and carried her. “Alright, Principessa. We will take the dress for you,” Adriano said as he turned to the employee who accompanied them.

“I'll find a similar model, sir. Dresses that fit this little miss of course.” The employee nodded politely as he left them for a while.

I was not happy with Miabella at the time. The happy raut kept him showing, until they came out of the boutique.

“What do you want again, Bella?” tawar Adriano's.

“It's too late. We'd better go home soon,” take Mia while grabbing Miabella's wrist.

However, the little girl immediately stopped her steps and shook her head, even though Mia was a little forcefully pulling.

The look on Miabella's pouting face looked adorable.

“Hey, what's up?” Adriano immediately crouched down in front of Miabella.

“I'm thirsty, Daddy Zio. I don't want to go home first. I want to drink ice cream,” replied Miabella.

“Jeez, My dear. Ice cream is not drunk, it is eaten. After all, if you're thirsty, you should drink water,” rebuked Mia gently.

“I don't like Mom!” murmur Miabella while turning her back while folding her hands on her chest. It made Adriano smile. He tried to hold back the laughter.

“Good. We'll find an ice cream shop together. However, I want us to just walk while enjoying the atmosphere here. Hows it? Do you want?” bargain Adriano soft.

Miabella immediately turned her back on Adriano's offer. Her beautiful eyes look bright. “Of course, Daddy Zio. I will not feel tired, because you will carry me,” said cheerfully.

Now, it was Mia's turn to hold back the laughter.

“Then I agree,” he said forced.

“Good. Your request is an order for me.” Adriano lifted up Miabella's tiny body and placed it on her broad shoulders.

They walked down the sidewalk, arriving in front of the church where Matteo prayed for the last time. Mia's body froze. Cold sweat began to pour profusely from his skin pores.

“What's up, Mia?” Adriano noticed Mia's strange girly. He approached his future wife.

“Here ... here ...” Mia. “At this place they finish my husband.” Mia's body shook violently. He almost fell if Adriano didn't catch his body immediately.

“Mother!” miabella. Adriano immediately lowered the little girl, so that Miabella's hand could hold Mia's leg.

Meanwhile, Adriano swiftly hugged Mia tightly and held her back. “I swear I'll bring back the smile on your face, Mia. I will give justice to Matteo, even though I have to dirty my hands,”.

For a while, they hugged each other in front of the church until Miabella whined for her ice cream before heading home.

Adriano obeyed the little girl's wishes. Buy her what Miabella wants, before they return to Casa de Luca.

Along the way until arriving in front of the main building of the residence de Luca, Mia did not stop crying. Her crying had only just stopped, when she saw Francesca clamoring for her name in front of the courtyard.
