The Asmara Jugar the Mafia
The Festive Feast

Two days have passed since Adriano's return from England. The party that has been prepared for approximately two weeks, will now be held soon. An event that has been expected to revive the atmosphere of Casa de Luca.

A priest's blessing ceremony will be held soon. Adriano and Marco stood gallantly in neat tuxedo suits. They serve as the groom's escort. Happiness mixed in the heart of Giovanni Francesco Ricci, when he remembered the figure of his true friend Matteo de Luca. The hope of making the man as his companion at the wedding must be dashed and become a disappointment that ends in sadness. However, Coco had to keep smiling in that heavy longing for Matteo, when she saw Francesca already present there in a beautiful and elegant wedding dress.

"Set yourself and prepare mentally. That's your boss's candidate" whispered Adriano who tried to tease Coco

"From now on, you have to always prepare a permit every time you want to leave the house" Marco said.

"Shut your mouths!" sergeant Coco did not want to bother with the pity of the two men, especially because Francesca was getting closer to him. The beautiful girl had even been standing next to Coco, to perform a blessing ritual.

The solemn atmosphere was so felt, when the pastor who led the event was delivering his sermon. When the sacred event took place, Juan Pablo just came unaccompanied by Gianna. The man did not want to take the risk of taking his pregnant wife young, to travel five hours from the city of Rome to Brescia.

Juan Pablo's arrival was immediately warmly welcomed by Damiano. Miabella's beloved grandfather immediately hugged her warmly. Damiano also invited the Mexican man to join his desk with Adriano and Marco.

"How are you, Juan?" greet Adriano while greeting the husband of Gianna.

"We only met two days ago" replied Juan Pablo in his usual manner.

"Ah yes, you are right" Adriano said, smiling calmly in response to Juan Pablo's remarks, very different from Marco's strange attitude when he looked at the man from Latin America. "Juan, introduce ... Marco de Luca's. He was the leader of the Clan de Luca who replaced the late Matteo." Adriano's point of view was on Marco, before finally returning to Juan Pablo.

For a while, Daniella's husband said nothing. His gaze fixed on the man with dark hair earlier. Marco only realized when Juan Pablo greeted him first. "Mr de Luca."

"Ah yes. Sorry," said Marco. He returned a handshake invitation from Juan Pablo. However, for some reason because Marco felt something very strange. Damiano seemed warm in his treatment of Juan Pablo. The actual attitude was usual for the old man, but it became a little awkward for Marco.

"Aren't you coming with Gianna?" ask Adriano who is sitting next to Juan Pablo.

"It was, but suddenly she complained about not feeling well. I don't want to take the risk of forcing him to come along" Juan Pablo replied as he watched the couple look very happy. Juan Pablo looked at Coco. He knows that man killed Thomas Bolton and Nenad Ljudevit.

A moment later, Juan Pablo's attention turned to Mia and Daniella who were busy talking. Marco's two sons appeared with his caretakers. Miabella ran to Damiano. "Grandfather, I want a red drink over there," pointed Miabella at the table where the dishes were served.

"I'll bring you some fruit, baby," Damiano replied.

"Yes already. I ask only daddy zio," said Miabella disappointedly. He then moved to Adriano who was next to Juan Pablo. The little girl again whined to the father. Miabella's spoiled attitude was a concern for Juan Pablo who would also become a father.

"He's very spoiled for you" said Juan Pablo slowly.

"I love Miabella sincerely, which is why she also loves and considers me like her real father." Adriano smiled knot. "That's why I was determined to seek justice for the little girl. I swear I will crush all the perpetrators who have made Miabella have to lose her father at the age of a toddler," said Adriano again who although slow but sound very confident and confident.

"Do what you think is right. Same as me. Nor will I stop looking for anyone who has killed Don Vargas in Serbia" retorted Juan Pablo, who was suspicious of Adriano.

The blue-eyed man only chuckled softly in response. “That's the life cycle in the black world. We must prepare to die at all times. I just hope that when the time comes, my children will stand tall without lamenting the death of their father. My descendants must be strong people, who can survive even though I am no longer beside them." Adriano ended his words with a slow breath.

“People like us should neither love nor be loved,” Juan Pablo said as he took a slow breath. In fact, such a remark was more suitable aimed at him himself who had fallen in the charm of a Gianna.

“Too painful when it comes to spending life in solitude, even for someone who is used to being forged in such a harsh life. The feeling of sadness and torment is still present when losing the closest person, especially family. Like Ilario, I never got along with him. However, when I heard the news that he was gone, all I had in mind was the old and tired face of my father who would surely be very grieved,” said Adriano again who seemed to deliberately provoke the reaction of the man next to him.

Unknowingly, Juan Pablo clutched his glass tightly. An uneasy, nervous, and uncomfortable feeling mixed into one inside his chest. “I heard from Stefano that you have investigated the death of your stepbrother,” he said flatly and coldly.

“Yes, of course. No matter how much hate towards stepmother and biological father who ever dumped me, I still will not be able to refuse if one day they ask for help,” said Adriano looked at Juan Pablo deeply, then smiled. "So, Stefano reported to you?" adriano asked, raising his eyebrows.

Juan Pablo is still trying to stay calm. "Yes. He said that you came to Artiglio Di Corvo's headquarters" replied the honey-eyed man. "Tell me, what do you really want, Adriano? How far have you gone into my life, and what do you know?" juan Pablo asked slowly but very seriously.

“There's not much data I've got on dirimi, other than you're dating Gianna and your stepfather is a soldier. The rest I don't know anything else,” Adriano replied calmly. Finished saying so, the chief Tigre Nero stood up while putting both his hands into his pants pocket. “I must accompany Ricci. He called me. Enjoy the party and the variety. Perhaps you are interested in becoming a native Italian, then familiarize your mouth with the various flavors of food,” Adriano said and said goodbye while nodding at Juan Pablo. The Mexican man replied by raising a glass filled with wine, slightly higher than his head.

Juan Pablo continued to watch Adriano who stepped up handsomely when he approached Coco who looked so cheerful. The curly-haired man's burly hands were in no way separated from the slender waist of Francesca, who had now legally become his wife. Undeterred faint smile when he saw the happiness of the new husband and wife. A great regret erupted in his heart, because he could not present a wedding party that was best for Gianna. Juan Pablo had just given him the ring, after returning from England.

The Mexican man's daydream was broken when women were cheering for a bouquet of white flowers, which had been in Francesca's grasp. The girl who is legally titled ‘Mrs Ricci’ was finally able to escape from her husband's 'grip. He would immediately enliven the atmosphere, by throwing a bouquet of flowers at the female guests. “Dani, move. You are no longer single,” Francesca protest that makes everyone laugh.

“Keep away first, Dani. Give a chance to those who are single.” Mia pulled her half-sister's arm slowly and drew closer to Marco. Mia's attention then turned to Miabella who ran towards the invitation's table round and lined with white silk tablecloth. “Bella, where are you going?” Mia walked quickly, following her little daughter. Apparently, he was about to take the ribbon left at the table where Juan Pablo was.

“Be careful, Mia. Remember your content,” Adriano scolds a little bit of a fret as Mia moves ever closer to Juan Pablo's desk

“Are you thinking of getting married again, honey?” insinuations Marco.

“Yes, geez, My Husband. I just want to have fun. That's it.” Daniella chuckled, then touched her husband's cheek so gently. However, the laughter had to stop as his gaze caught the figure of someone he felt he had seen before.

The man walked in the distance. His steps were paused using a stick. He walked down a small pebbled road that connects the main building with the park located at the back of the Casa de Luca area. “Hei, Ricci! Is he your friend? Why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere? Look, the style is very suspicious,” pointed Daniella at the man in a long coat and hat.

Adriano and Coco turned in the same direction. Adriano was wide-eyed when he realized that the strange man was Jacob. “Sial! How could he break through the layered security in this place!” the thrill panicked while running towards Mia and Miabella. He intends to protect the two people he loves from dangerous men like Jacob.

However, Adriano's steps had to come to a halt as Jacob shouted to call out his name. “Adriano D’Angelo! Finally you managed to sit down one table with the Wild Eagle!” he screamed while laughing.

“What do you mean!” adriano Sentak.

“Yes, geez. You're slow too apparently. Look there, the Jungle Eagle is very close to your wife and little daughter.” Jacob pointed his index finger straight at Juan Pablo who had now risen from the chair.
