The Conqueror of the Miss Heart
69. Thanks Niel...

°°°

The father and son meeting was very exciting. Daniel wiped the corners of his eyes many times. Luckily he has a father who is responsible for the family and loves his mother very much. Although the relationship with him is not very good because of differences in views but Daddy Alex actually loves Daniel.

Mia, that woman looks so cold, firm and brave but who would have thought that her life had once been in a difficult spot. Living in a deprived family, his father only knows gambling and fun, his mother is sick and he has to fight hard for his family.

"Now papah eat, let Felice take the bribe." Felice took the food on the table and put it on the plate. She was more familiar and not so awkward on her papa, in contrast to Mia who was still keeping her distance.

That is understandable, considering who formed the character of Mia to be like this.

"You eat too, let's eat together. You also want Daniel, let's not worry." He was so excited, the smile on his face had continued to expand since then. This was all he wished for, to be able to gather again with his family. After this he is adkhas even if his destiny is not long.

"Well reward, I won't hesitate then."

Papah Willy was quite surprised when Daniel called him papah. Including Mia and Felice as well. But then the man smiled, maybe he just remembered that Daniel was the future husband of his daughter.

There is no harm no, he has got his blessing, calling papah instead of better.

Felice seemed to agree with that, she even smiled and gave her thumbs up at her future sister-in-law. While Mia, she gave no response but her cheeks blushed. That was enough to show that he agreed too.

"All right, let's eat."

The atmosphere of the lunch was so warm, Willy and his two daughters shared stories as they separated. Although it is not certain what makes Willy change for the better, or indeed all this time he just pretended to be an evil father.

Now they have agreed to close the book yesterday. And opened a new story, giving sweet memories for his two daughters. Until his death, he no longer felt guilty.

"Would Papah want to move to the city, so that he could be closer to Mia and Felice?" Daniel's question kept Willy quiet for a moment and then shook his head slowly.

Felice who had hoped to be close to his papa also had to swallow disappointment.

"Fuck you here, this house has too many advantages to leave."

Perhaps for his two daughters there were only bad memories in that place. But for Willy at home there are a lot of good memories, especially with his ex-wife. The first time they move through the day together, the joys and sorrows. When his wife first became pregnant and gave birth to their first child who is now grown. At first everything was normal and happy. He didn't even remember when he started to change.

"Didn't you want to be close to our reward? We can spend more time together if it's near Pah," said Felice, he just found his papa figure and did not want to be far from him.

"Felice is right Pah, we can also often monitor the condition of Papah later." Daniel could've hired a nurse for Willy's papah, but still at home it's a long way from the hospital. What if the condition of the man suddenly drop.

"Thank you son, but no need. Papah can take care of himself here. You don't have to worry."

Willy held his daughter's hand and nodded.

After that, they no longer force. They appreciate the decision Willy made. It may be true that the house itself is more comfortable even though it is ugly.

"You don't want to persuade your papa to move?" Daniel sat his body beside Mia. They are currently in the yard of a house that is mostly covered in plants. There is a big tree there too. The maple tree that Mia often takes her leaves to keep.

"He has his own desires, I don't want to force. If he's in this house he can be more comfortable why force him to leave." Mia turned her head upwards looking at the clear sky that afternoon.

"Are there any plans to bring him together with Mama?"

"He'll ask if he wants to. They're more mature, so they know what they need." Mia was not unwilling to stay close to her papa but there was something she saw from her papa that was so heavy to leave this house.

"Are you, Felice and Emma's mom not comfortable with that house either. I'm sorry if daddy forced you to move" Daniel said.

"No, we're happy because the house from daddy is bigger and cozy." Mia smiled faintly, although at first she felt bad but seeing her mother every morning can take a walk in the yard and look at the flowers in the garden was fun. Things they never met while living in an apartment.

"Niel.. thanks..."

"Well, what did you say." Daniel asked Mia to say it again.

"Thank you for everything, Niel, if it wasn't for you, maybe it's getting worse now and if it wasn't for you, I'd still be harboring my hatred for Papah." Although it feels annoying to know Daniel and everything they experienced to decide to get married. Now Mia realizes that Daniel's presence brings many changes in her life and those changes are in better terms.

"You don't need to thank me, because this is my form of sincerity in our relationship. We marry not only because of responsibility but I want our marriage to be not only that. I will learn to accept you and be a good husband. I hope you do the same."

"But Niel. You deserve a more deserving woman someday. Not like me..."

Mia's words were cut off as Daniel's index finger stuck to her lips.

"It is not you or anyone else that you judge as appropriate or inappropriate. I know more than anyone. Don't think about it again, I also want to only get married once in a lifetime. So learn to love me from now on because we're gonna spend forever together."

They looked at each other at such a close distance. Both of their hearts were already beating fast. Maybe they have already opened their hearts.

The hand of Daniel that he had used to stop Mia's speech had now moved to Mia's soft cheek. While Daniel's eyeballs have moved to flat pink which at that time he kissed in a conscious state. And now he wants it again. His face was approaching until it was only a few pauses.

Isn't this too close, this is too dangerous. Mia kept her head away but Daniel's hand pulled her nape until their lips were stuck.
