...PRESENT DAY : ITALY...
...(.( 8 Years Later )...
In An Apartment
At 04:00
"Pappa-the little girl with the doll in her hand stood on the doorstep scratching her head, her eyes still half-open and she occasionally yawned - Pappa went nowhere this early" Valentino approached the girl with a watch in his hand, carrying with him an 8-year-old belt that still looked brand-new. After putting on his waist, Valentino carried the little girl.
"Miu, Pappa will meet his Grandpa Papa-go back to sleep" Valentino said as he kissed the little girl's cheek. Elara Miuccia's. Valentino brought his daughter back to his room and put her to bed in a soft, pink feel and tosca coloring room.
"Can't Miu come, Pappa?" ask the little girl as Valentino covers her.
"In the hospital you can't have a beautiful child like yourself come in, honey" Valentino replied as he kissed Miu on the forehead. He smiled and looked at the tiny face that adorned his day. Since Miu's presence, her life has changed drastically. His sadness and disappointment at losing Love in Pretoria, overcome by the presence of the little girl. He felt happiness when he was by his daughter's side.
"Why can't I come in? I'm beautiful" Again and again Valentino kissed Miu's forehead with a chuckle. Seeing Miu's timidity made her anxious.
"Because there's a lot of viruses. Papa doesn't want you to be sick" Valentino said, caressing Miu's face, his bluish-grey eyes like his, making Valentino not have the heart to leave him, but he had to leave. His grandfather goes to the hospital again and it makes him have to meet him, his mother messages him via her mobile phone, making Valentino unsettled.
"There's Papa protecting Miu" Valentino felt the warmth upon hearing it. Feeling needed and feeling meaningful is what makes her happy.
"The way Papa's protecting you is by keeping you from coming, Miu. The virus is invisible. Papa will work right away. We can have lunch together at your school. Do you agree?" persuade Valentino to make Miu's eyes sparkle.
"Ehm, can I have ice cream?" Miu started to bargain.
"If Mama gets angry how"
"Then Papa has to protect me-Deal?" Miu stretched out a hand asking for a hug, and it made Valentino wither.
"Deal" Valentino again kissed and hugged Miu, he closed his eyes gently inhaling the very distinctive strawberry scent.
"You want to go now? Shouldn't you have breakfast or coffee?" Valentino parses his embrace, as a woman enters Miu's room with transparent pajamas attached to her body. Her hair was left to cover part of her chest. Valentino smiled at him.
"I'm so hungry" Valentino turned his face away and looked back at Miu's face.
"Miu, Papa leave first. Remember, I'll see you around noon" Valentino kissed Miu on the forehead and stroked her hair.
"Papa just kissed me, why not kiss Mama" Valentino again chuckled at his daughter's innocent questions, sometimes very critical but Valentino did not lose answering Miu's questions, he tried to give good value to Miu.
"Papa kissed your Mama, a thousand times before you woke up, Miu- and the little boy, forbidden to see adults kissing, it's not good" Valentino said, pinching his daughter's tiny nose.
"Why not take a shower? Looks like Papa was still wearing clothes yesterday"
"Papa's gonna take a shower in the office, baby. Grandpa's waiting for Papa-and Papa has to get there as soon as possible"
"Yes, Papa has gone. Greetings to my great-grandfather. Tell her I want to meet her" Miu said as she hugged her doll and yawned back.
"Hmm--Ci vediamo (see you later)" Valentinopun got up and walked to the door.
"Ti amo (i love you), Pappa" said Miu as she tilted her body and again she yawned.
"Ti amo, Miu"
"I'll go to Miu's school at lunch, let Miu have lunch with me-I go first" Valentino said with a smile and then closed Miu's room door.
"Alright" the woman replied.
"Other times make Papa drink coffee, Miu" said the mother lay her body on Miu's bed. He caressed Miu's face by getting rid of the little girl's hair. He kissed Miu's forehead later.
"Si Mamma (Yes Mama; Italy)" Valentino heard him and he just smiled. As he stared at the room, a large wedding photo was plastered there, Valentino looked at him fixedly and smiled, there was sadness when he looked at the painting. He grabbed his suit and left in a hurry. His heart returned empty. Blank. And his happiness is only for a moment.
...*...
Valentino goes to the hospital to see his Grandpa, after he cleans up his body and changes clothes in his private apartment. He looked hurried and all the family was there, waiting for him. Along the hospital corridor, Valentino hears the nurses whispering whispering, his charm never fading. As he grew older, Valentino became more handsome, although he looked thinner than before, Valentino was still Valentino the Italian man who was gilai women scattered around him. But her mind was only one, Elara Miuccia, the sweet girl who climbed the iceberg in her heart. Despite not melting it, Miu managed to occupy Valentino's heart.
"Nonno (grandfather; Italy) had a morning heart attack? Does Nonno not want to see the sun anymore?" His grandfather smiled at the arrival of Valentino, the founder of Locomotive Machine is seen pias with a black eye circumference. He looked tired and helpless.
"Hummit, have you prepared yourself by your Grandpa's orders?" Valentino only shook his shoulders when Alfonso asked.
"Padre, I haven't been able to fulfill Nonno's wish" Valentino said with a heavy sigh.
"Diev, that's your grandfather's order. He won't calm down before you grant it" said Rhosana, his mother.
"Mamma, I don't think I'm ready yet"
"Diev, Diev-Call Grandpa with a brick. He tried to get up from his sleep, he would feel comfortable sitting down. He was helped to sit by Valentino and his father.
"Nonno's? Don't get up yet" Valentino said, propping up Grandpa's body, still wanting to sit down. This forced grandfather was very difficult to avoid at all his orders.
"I'm tired Diev. Is my request so difficult?" asked Grandpa with a breath.
"Padre, this delinquent can't do anything. Small things he can't do much less handle big things" Alfonso said in annoyance.
"Padre I work. I can't leave my job for a family business that I don't control at all" Valentino told his father.
"But that was your grandfather's last wish, Diev. Our factory in Barcelona is completely abandoned" Rhosana said, wiping Valentino's hair.
"Can you sketch the interior of the train car? Like the Rovos Trail or the Blue Train?" Valentino was pounding when his grandfather mentioned the name Blue Train, the memorable train he had buried deep in the sea of ice, so deep that sometimes he found it hard to find the love he had ever felt. Valentino sat on the chair surrounding the patient's bed, his legs feeling limp. He clasped his Grandpa's hand with his head lowered.
"Nonno, i-i-
"You just need to make the plan and you just show it off, and then you can sell it. If your plan is good, they'll be looking for you. Like you designed the skyscrapers you always make. Just like that mechanism, running the Locomotive Machine company" said his grandfather by stroking Valentino's hair.
"This reliability, always different Padre. His older brother devoted his entire life in the family but this child did not care at all. Not contributing to the family, he chose to quit Locomotive Machine. He should not have to get any inheritance from the Locomotive Machine" said Alfonso in a furious tone, but the Grandfather just smiled.
"Valentino Gallardiev!" hardik Alfonso cut Valentino's words and surprised everyone. Rhosana stood up and approached Alfonso to calm him down.
"Amor, this is a hospital. You can make Padre's heart stop beating! Can't you just calm down?" rhosana said by patting her husband on the back.
"This asshole pisses me off!" alfonso grunted as he flung his body on the chair, away from Valentino. He's setting his emotions.
"Alfonso, that's what I love about this kid you call a delinquent. He can achieve his success with his own hands. That's why I gave you the Locomotive Machine in Barcelona. I'm sure Valentino can manage it" Grandpa told his son Alfonso.
"Nonno, give me some more time to think. Because leaving a company that has educated and made me successful is not easy - I'm going to take my trip to Russia for a week, there's a project there. After I get home, Nonno will get my answer" the Grandfather simply smiled, with a gasp of breath.
"After 8 years have you finally traveled abroad?" Rhosana asked with curiosity.
For 8 years since he landed at Italy Airport after leaving Barcelona, Valentino who was injured because he did not find Leyka in his apartment, Valentino was reluctant to go anywhere. At that time Valentino knew Leyka was in Palma and crowned as Crown Princess with the title Felipe.
Moreover, he found Leyka running away with Diego broke his heart. The holiday he always planned he never did. He imprisoned himself in Italy, locked himself up and enjoyed his happiness with his little daughter, Elara Miuccia. Although sometimes when the snow falls in Italy he always asked in his heart, Does snow fall also in Barcelona? Do you remember me? Like I remember you on the long road I took in Italy that sometimes reminds me of being in Pretoria.
"This project is the biggest of all I've ever had. Bigger than the Capetown Time Square I've ever made. The investor wants to meet me in Russia, Mama" Valentino said languidly.
"Bring the best wisky for Padre" Rhosana said in a whisper and then glanced at Alfonso.
"Bring me one too" said his grandfather, and Valentino chuckled at it.
"Then wait for me, Nonno. Don't ever leave when I'm not in Italy" Valentino said, kissing his grandfather's hand.
"In the end everyone will leave, Valentino" said the Grandfather. His heart began to grow.

The Office
"Haha.. Valentino Gallardiev's.. Hahaha" Jared burst into laughter as he entered Valentino's room, and it left Valentino puzzled, not understanding what made Jared suddenly laugh as he entered his room.
"Have you eaten wrong?" Valentino looked back at his laptop and tapped into the design of a skyscraper for a project in Russia. He corrected it before he took him there to meet with his investors.
"Since when you haven't fixed your personal data" Jared asked, still laughing, and he sat in the corner of the table with half his buttocks down there. He grabbed the phone and pressed the button. He called someone.
"Torres, bring Gallardiev's Visa and Passport application files here, I wait in his room" Jared put the phone back in place and stood straight across from Valentino's desk. He leaned over and removed Valentino's laptop.
"Jared's! What are you doing!" valentino shouted in annoyance.
"Delay your work first, and listen to me. You'll die standing when you know this" Jared said. Valentino is increasingly clueless, but he memorized to his friend, if there is nothing important, Jared could not bother him.
"Shit! What else!" Valentino had his body leaned against his comfortable chair. Sometimes Valentino can fall asleep in that chair overtime.
"Prepare your heart, Torres is taking care of your expired Passport and Visamu to Russia, he finds obstacles. You have to recreate your Passport, right?" jared asked Valentino lazily to respond and answer Jared's question, he played the pen in his hand by furrowing his eyebrows.
"Surely, I haven't been anywhere in 8 years. The last time I went to Barcelona was to see the Demon Woman, but she was in Palma. My passport is still valid at that time and we don't need a Visa just to go to Barcelona, because I only have one day there!- Then what are the obstacles?" Jared was back in the open and made Valentino confused.
"Do you know of interstate marriage?"
"Of course not and for what I know the marriage of two countries! Doesn't matter!" Valentino felt weary and Jared blew his laughter even more.
"Diev back then, 8 years ago when you were in Pretoria-Wouldn't you have intended to marry Leyka when you asked her to come to Italy?" Jared was still stunned by asking, and made Valentino even more upset.
He did not understand the meaning of Jared, who continued to laugh as if laughing at him, added Jared calling Leyka's name arrived. Jared managed to get Valentino's mood heated up.
"I have no intention of marrying that Demon Woman even from the beginning or in the future!" Jared further blew his laughter again hearing Valentino's reply. However, Jared taunts him, and he is increasingly annoyed by questions he does not understand. Between Visa and Passport versus Jared's question of marriage and Leyka's. Valentino is getting sick of hearing that.
"Haha... Ja..Jaa.. You don't have to do it Gallardiev! Haha.. Ohh.. Shit! I can't help myself.. Haha.. My eyes water.. Ohh.. Shit! Ahaha!" Jared continued to lie down and that made Valentino more and more exhausted his patience.
"What are you laughing at?!" Valentino at the height of his frustration.
"Then why did you ask Leyka to come along if you didn't intend to marry her? Haha.. Ohh No Gallardiev.. My stomach hurts so much.. Hahaha" Jared grew increasingly stupefied and there was no complacent word for laughter. Jared held onto his stomach which felt stiff because his laughter was difficult to stop, while Valentino was increasingly fierce to look at Jared.
"Wouldn't living together be better than getting married. What happens until you go crazy like this! I just want to make it my mistress! What's your problem?!" jared did not answer Valentino's question, the door was knocked and opened after getting permission from Valentino. The secretary is seen opening the door and letting someone Jared is waiting for enter the room.
Torres, part of the Human Resources Department (HRD), has many divisions there. But Torres was in a General Division that took care of the employee's travel under HRD supervision. All Passports and Visas for all employees who want to travel Torres Division which takes care of it including preparing tickets, hotel bookings, as well as accommodation and transportation costs, Torres is the one who oversees the General Division, his men will do the job.
"Torres, what are the obstacles?" Jared was still broken when Torres came in. Jared seemed to have known the obstacles until he was uprooted, as if mocking Valentino who was still confused by Jared's attitude.
"Diev, you have to go to the Italian embassy. It has to do with your data. You should have done it 8 years ago" Torres said, leaving Valentino even more confused.
Torres submitted a map containing several correspondence sheets regarding the Visa application and the re-creation of the Valentino Passport because the validity period has expired. Torres put it on the table and Valentino opened the map, and he checked it very closely.
"Why should I change my personal data?" Valentino further furrowed his brows.
"Diev! You idiot! Hahaha. --Jared still laughs curled up --Diev! Congratulations on your marriage! You've married the Demon-Leyka Woman Paquito Fernandez! Haha.. You don't need to marry Leyka in the future, because she's been YOUR WIFE IN THE PAST! You must retrieve your marriage certificate sent by the African Embassy in Italy! Haha.. " Jared and Torres broke down.
But Valentino jumped from his chair, it felt like he was struck by lightning until he stood up while grabbing the map with trembling, his eyes round as if he wanted to get out of place. His personal data has changed and Valentino has requested a copy of his marriage certificate as a requirement for his personal data.
"SI.. SI'S.. THE DEMON WOMAN - IS..MY WIFE??" Like the Fagradalsfjall Volcano in Iceland that erupted and the lava that melted the eternal snow there, Valentino was so shocked that he almost fell, he clung to the table in front of him, the map decomposed its contents and he held his chest with a hunting breath.
Leyka's face flashed through his mind. His heart wanted to explode! Jared is right, Valentino feels like he could die standing right now. Their laughter disappeared in exchange for panic. Valentino has a heart attack!
Leykah.. You're My wife? You've been my wife all this time? This is impossible. 8 years Leyka.. Is this a dream..
