The Goddess of Don Pablo
Chapter 22: The Love of the Faithful Guard

Lucy walks out of the cafe when the clock shows at 11 p.m. He sat there for a while, as Ray went with him. The girl thought for a moment. Ray's a police officer. He had kept the man's contact number on his phone. Lucy smile. Like something was going through his mind. Hmm.maybe this guy can help me someday. Thought the girl for a moment. He got up from his seat and paid all his bill.Just as the clock showed at 11 pm he came out of the Roses Cafe and Pub.

The mall did not look too crowded. It runs in a special store of luxury leather bags. Burlgio. A store large enough for a specialty store of leather bags. Inside are leather bags made of various animal skins. Some of them are even made from rare animal skin types. Lucy holds a silvery-gray handbag. It looks simple but elegant. A golden embossed print bearing the B logo which stands for the brand. Lucy sees a small card hanging on the pocket. There are listed raw materials for making the bag.

Antiguan Racers. It is made from 100% Antiguan Racer snake skin. A rare venomous snake that can only be found off the coast of Antigua. A type of venomous snake that has been bred by the Burlgio leather bag company. 001ar series numbered from 4 existing series. This means that the first bag in the series was made from Antiguan Racer snake skin type or abbreviated AR and there are as many as 4 different types of bags patterned but made from the same type of snake skin. The small serial number was imprinted embossed on the inside of the bag.

A sign of the originality and exclusivity of the luxury bag. The uniqueness of Burlgio bags is that they only produce one type of item with one pattern. When customers buy, they, they are spoiled for the exclusivity of the goods purchased with only them being the sole owner of the goods and it is unlikely that anyone else in the world would have the goods of the same pattern and shape. This is what makes Lucy or Nina like to buy their products. In addition to the raw materials of rare goods that make sure the product of this brand quality, they make their customers feel treated special.

Lucy took the bag. He likes the beautiful and unique design and color. It looks a little dark grey when approached but from a distance it looks silvery shiny. The beautiful color transition made him buy the item.

"Yes,Madam...Can I help you ?" said a black-clothed male servant with a very parlente appearance, approaching Lucy while bowing his head and smiling a sign of respect.

"I'll take this one,please ..." Lucy pointed to the bag. The man's maid brought a large transparent plastic and brought Lucy's groceries.

"Yes, madame...Do you have any favorite ? If you don't mind, maybe I could help you, Madam." said the waiter.

"It's okay.can you leave me alone ? I'm still looking for something else.just please bring it to the cashier.." said Lucy pointed to the bag she had chosen and held by the waiter.

"Yes, Madam." The man's servant replied while bowing his body.Go to the cashier according to Lucy's orders and let the girl go back to look at the other items. Without realizing it he had been in the bag for men. He saw a special clutch bag for men.

Lucy smile. Somehow, when he saw the clutch bag he remembered Carlo. His family's loyal servant. Looks dark brown men's clutch bag with a simple and elegant design, without reducing the masculinity of a man who has it. This bag seemed suitable for Carlo. Lucy aka Nina realized, all this time she had never given a gift to the man. Though the man has always been loyal to take care of him since he was a child. Carlo for Nina is the figure of a brother and best venting friend so far. He only knew Carlo and his father as the real men in his life.

Hmm. It seems that this bag is suitable for Carlo, Lucy thought. He saw the label on it. The clutch bag is made of West African crocodile species and only has 2 series of bags with the same raw material. Without a second thought he picked it up and took it straight to the front of the casier. The male servant who had been serving him seemed to be smiling kindly.

"Are you ready, madam ?" ask the waiter.

"Well, help the bill for these 2 bags." said Lucy to the waiter.Si the waiter prepared the bill and gave it to the female cashier who was next to him.

"Credit Card, please .." he issued a Golden Platinum Card. Credit cards are golden brown. The credit card that he uses specifically purchases all the needs of makeup and accessories for women. Lucy or Nina has 3 types of credit cards. For daily needs or just hangout, he uses a blue credit card belonging to a well-known bank in the region. For the needs of makeup, and all the accessories of women, he uses other credit cards that are golden brown. While a black platinum credit card, is a special credit card that he uses for the needs of his company. In this way, he can calculate the cost of living in detail.

After swiping the Credit Card the girl gave her, and gave the bill to Lucy. The waiter next to him was ready with a beautiful box tied with ribbons and a recycle shopping bag with a golden brown label given to the woman. Although the bag used is made of recycle paper, the bag is coated with clear mica plastic with a golden brown brand logo. To keep it classy but environmentally friendly for its loyal customers. Lucy carries the bag and exits the store to the car park.

In his magnificent castle, Carlo who was with Don Pablo as usual seemed loyal to be accompanying the old man. Until the Don asked him to sit in the front seat of his desk. He invited the loyal waiter to accompany him to have a casual chat while enjoying the lunch menu that had been prepared by the chef, the home cook who did work for his employer's family.

"Carlo, how old are you right now, son ?" ask Don Pablo to Carlo. Carlo, who was eating his spaghetti bolognaise, was a little surprised to hear that. He looked up at the old man in front of him. Smiling politely, a sign of respect for the man.

"28 years, Sir.." said Carlo calmly. Although in his mind he was guessing where the direction of the conversation his employer was going.

"Carlo, you know I'm very old. I don't have anything much more valuable than my only daughter...And there's no family for Nina if I leave forever. There is no man I can trust to look after him except you, Carlo..I'm not good at small talk, Son..but, is there any interest in my daughter ?" Don Pablo asked unexpectedly his favorite bodyguard.

Carlo who heard it almost choked on the fork containing the spaghetti he had stuffed into his mouth. The beloved bud tub came suddenly. Carlo, who felt like he was in the middle of a snowstorm, was frozen, instantly getting a warming spark. He snapped to his senses. Is it not wrong with his hearing ? Don Pablo gave his daughter for her ? he wanted to nod quickly and say yes. But his arrival as a loyal servant of the old man, made him keep his attitude.

"Sir, am I not mistaken to hear what you say ? Could it be that you think there is a man you offer your only daughter, he will reject her ?" reply Carlo diplomatically.

" If you're just looking for a man who's after my daughter's beauty and my estate, I'm sure Carlo won't have a man who's turned down my offer. But I'm looking for a man who can take my place for Nina. You know Nina isn't good enough to come into contact with the outside world and she's a stubborn person. You also know the business I have and how the world is in it. I expect a real man who can love and take care of Nina wholeheartedly if I don't, Carlo." said the old man. His voice sounded like he was holding back his tears.

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Pablo...Master I have considered like my own father.and regarding Nina.I will take care of her with all my abilities, Master.you do not have to worry about thinking about it", replied Carlo calmly, polite and looking gentle. Don Pablo who heard it seemed calmer with Carlo's reply. As an old man who had tasted the bitter taste of life, he actually knew, his loyal servant loved Nina. Her favorite daughter. She would not stop him if Nina chose him as her life partner. Because he knew Carlo well from childhood. According to him, the man has the character of a true man of every woman's dreams.
