The wind blew flying Mia and all her memories to the city of Venice. A city with a very romantic atmosphere, and presents a million beautiful stories in it. It was there that Mia found the meaning of true love, after a long time limiting herself from it. Somehow, because Mia can go back there and climb the small road with the smell of great novelty.
A soft smile wrapped in pain, appeared at the corner of Mia's lips as she saw a person with a black coat standing on the edge of the canal. The sturdy body was extremely familiar to Mia, even though she only saw it from behind.
Mia, gather all her courage to step forward. He approached the man who was staring ahead. On the stretch of the canal with gondolas that continue downstream and non-stop. “Theo ...,” say quietly with a vibrating voice. Wrapped in disbelief.
The man with the black coat immediately turned his head, then smiled. “How To Mia? You here?” reply to the man who was none other than Matteo de Luca. The man Mia misses.
However, instead of answering, Mia instead cried while directly pouring into the man's arms. “Hey, why are you crying?” matteo asked while holding Mia's body. Matteo returned the woman's embrace. She stroked Mia's long hair. The man was silent for a moment, as if he was pervading his meeting with the woman he loved so much. “Have I made you sad, Cara Mia?” matteo whispered while breaking his embrace from Mia.
“How could you not make me sad? You left me and Miabella so quickly. I cry every day, every night. But you didn't come back either. Why did you do that to me and our daughter?" Mia beat Matteo's chest softly, to vent her sadness and anger at the fate she had to get.
“Hey, calm yourself." Matteo held onto both of Mia's wrists gently. While the brunette woman was still sobbing. “It's me, Cara Mia. Now, I am in front of you,” Matteo said trying to calm the woman who was still sobbing.
“Sorry, because I can't finish my duties as husband and father to you two. Actually, I'd love to see Miabella's face when she grows up. I also want to sit with you on the porch, to enjoy the twilight with our gray hair. However, what is my day, Cara Mia. I cannot resist God's power. How hard I endured the pain, when my heart was torn apart. Still, the energy I have is unable to defend this life from my body. However, I will not regret it at all,” said Matteo lirih.
“There have been many mistakes I have made. I don't know how many lives were lost by these two hands. I'm still lucky, because only a few bullets hurt me,” Matteo continued. He then turned his body. Matteo looked back at the canal with the water shaking slowly.
“Look. Like those gondolas. Every time downstream-mudik alternated. That is how our lives in the world are. Some were gone and were soon replaced by someone new. It has become a law of nature. You, me, or no one else will be able to change it at will. Accept everything with chest. Continue your life." Matteo exhaled deeply.
"Don't be selfish, my dear. You still have a long and heavy duty. It's your duty to educate Miabella well" Matteo said. Meanwhile, Mia just listened while continuing to sob.
"Even though I am gone and can no longer accompany you. However, the good memories of the three of us will always be recorded until the end of the world. Be a good mother. Don't let Miabella lose her father. After all, she was the daughter of Matteo de Luca."
"I don't want Miabella to be a pathetic person. My daughter has to be a strong and tough woman. Full of courage and can take good care of yourself. Therefore, show her that you are capable of being a role model. Show our daughter that Florecita Mia is a great woman, who is able to fight all the pain and trials of life that hit her. Let Miabella know that she has a wonderful mother who does not rely on physical beauty alone."
"You can do it, Cara Mia. You can be more than you are now. Live your life happily. Toong, don't put a burden on me for leaving you and our daughter,” pinta Mattei at length. Meanwhile, Mia simply bowed down without stopping her crying.
A moment later, Matteo turned back to face Mia. The thinness of the hands wearing taut clothes, with a soft yellow skin that he had not touched for a long time. Matteo, tasting deeply into the back of the hand was full of feeling. “I went to bring love to both of us. I'm not going to force you to stick around in my blanket of love, which can no longer make you feel comfortable and warm" Matteo said.
"I can't be your protector anymore, Cara Mia. That's why, find a new protector for you. You are young and deserve to fall back in love. I won't stop you from doing that."
"No, Cara Mia. Do not let the love that is too big for me, it becomes a burden that will hinder your steps. I'm not gonna like it. I'm willing to let you take the ladder of life with anyone who can afford to be a protector to you as well as to Miabella."
"Remember this message. Ilove you. Yeah, that's true. You are the owner of the most beautiful smile. Never forget that." Slowly, Matteo released his hand from Mia
“Where are you going, Theo?” Mia spread her hands. He tried to reach Matteo's body moving away. But the man did not answer. He smiled gently as he continued walking backwards. “Theo!” call Mia.
Mia wants to go after Matteo. However, the woman's legs seemed to be firmly fixed where she stood. “Theo! Back!” mia cried out loud. However, Matteo did not care about it at all. The man was now standing on a gondola with his black coat.
The smile from that handsome face slowly faded away, as he moved further and further away until he was nowhere to be seen from Mia's sight. Lemas, Mia's body collapsed with her head bowed. Both of his hands clenched over the streets with tears continuously flowing nonstop.
Mia had just regained her senses, when she felt a soft pat on the shoulder. He flinched in shock. Instantly, he opened his eyes.
Adriano was sitting on the edge of the bed. The man looked at her with a look full of question marks. “Do you have nightmares? Why are you sleeping here, Mia?” asked the blue-eyed man in astonishment.
“I just arrived and came straight here. Two days without seeing your daughter, I felt so lost and missed her so much. I just want to see how Miabella is doing. Turns out you slept here,” Adriano said as he stood up.
“Come,” invite Adriano while extending a hand to Mia. “Let Miabella sleep alone. Anyway, I've installed surveillance cameras in this room. So, you don't have to worry. He will be fine,” the man said again.
Mia did not immediately welcome Adriano's hand. The woman paused for a moment and thought. He recalls his encounter with Matteo even though it was only a dream. However, in the dream Matteo told him many things.
Doubtful, Mia placed her hand on Adriano's palm. He then got out of bed. Mia, follow Adriano to the door.
Before actually coming out, Mia had turned her head towards Miabella who had fallen asleep. After that, Adriano then turned off the lights of the room, and left the lights to sleep alone. He shut the door tight.
The two guards who were standing not far from the door, immediately nodded respectfully as Adriano and Mia passed by them. Yes, Miabella over there gets very special treatment like a princess.
“What kind of dream makes you cry, Mia?” adriano asked without letting go of the woman's hand. He continued to lead the woman who had long been the idol of his heart.
Meanwhile, Mia was silent. It seemed like he was reluctant to discuss it with Adriano. “How was your trip?” Mia had shifted the subject.
“Tomorrow I'll tell you, because it's night now. I'm also very tired,” Adriano replied. The blue-eyed man opened the door. He had just released Mia's hand, when the two were already in a luxurious room like the king and queen's room.
“Do you want me to make something?” tawar Mia who made Adriano immediately stop his steps. He who was about to enter the walk in closet, looked at Mia for a moment.
“Not necessary. You're not a waiter here. So, don't bother yourself with kitchen work or other household matters,” Adriano replied.
“Do you want to take a shower? I'll prepare warm water for you, "again.
"No need," refused Adriano shook her head.
"I'm bored because there's nothing I'm doing here. Anyway, I don't mind going to the kitchen. While still in Casa de Luca, I ..” Mia fell silent. He did not continue his words. Moreover, since Adriano had already passed to the dressing room. Mia realized, she should not bring up her habits while in the Matteo residence.
Adriano took off the black shirt he was wearing, in front of the mirror almost as tall as himself. Stared back into the body firmly with three scars on the stomach. He felt the scar slowly. However, a moment later the handsome man immediately picked up a plain black t-shirt. After that, Adriano returned to the main room of his room. He saw Mia still sitting pensively on the edge of the bed.
Adriano approached the beautiful woman. Some days living in her mansion, she always emphasized that Mia did not miss the meal schedule. The man stood in front of his wife, having previously opened a drawer near the bed. He took something from the drawer. Adriano then sat down next to Mia.
“If you feel bored, you can read this book while accompanying Miabella to play. Every now and then, walk around the yard. You can swim or do anything that makes you feel entertained" he said.
Mia did not answer. He looked at Adriano for a moment. His views then turned to three books, which Adriano had given as gifts.
"Well, you go to sleep" Adriano said. He's getting ready for a break.
Mia according to what the man said. He walked on the other side of the bed. It was heavy for Mia to close her eyes again. The shadow of his dream that met with Matteo came back. Mia felt so afraid, despite a speck of happiness because she could meet her late husband again.
Adriano was also apparently still awake, although already in a lying position. The man turned to Mia who was staring at the ceiling of the room. "Just calm. Everything will be resolved soon" Adriano said, making Mia look at him. Adriano then changed the position so facing Mia. "Sleep" he said, stroking the woman's cheek with the back of his hand.
Mia nodded slowly, then turned around. He turned his back on Adriano who was also behind him.
