The Light of Love (Children of Genius)
Chapters 11. Embark

"What the hell is going on? This is getting complicated. I know my own work is in a dark world, and I've always had the protection of Isabella's father." Roberto spoke for himself, aware of his circumstances.

Roberto himself is confused, because his former work is indeed in the black world. He was only always lucky thanks to the help of his father Isabella.

Roberto pondered about his increasingly complex situation. He realizes that without the help of Isabella's father, he may never succeed in a world full of risks and challenges.

"I must consider my decision. I want to live my life with my own integrity and my own path. But can I do it without Isabella's father?"

Roberto spoke to himself, not yet convinced of his own ability so could not make a decision quickly.

Roberto felt trapped in a difficult dilemma. He realizes that his work has serious consequences, and the help of Isabella's father has given him many advantages.

"Hm ... I need to find a way out of this situation. I, can't continue to rely on help from Isabella's father. But I also can't let Ella and Reo become victims of my troubles."

Roberto felt called to make a difficult and courageous decision. He knew that he had to face the consequences of his actions, no matter what.

"I will find a way to improve my life, without having to rely on the help of the black world. I'll protect Ella and Reo as well."

Roberto spoke with his intentions. He realized, if his love and affection for Reo, not just because of humanity. That's because there's a blood relationship between them.

In his quest to find a solution, Roberto seeks to cut ties from the black world and find a way to start a more honest and meaningful life.

"I have to find a better and more honest job. I know it won't be easy, but I have to." Roberto was determined by that.

***

The day has passed quickly. Roberto starts looking for a job that matches his skills and experience, while looking for Ella and Reo's whereabouts.

The man wanted to find a job that provided a sense of satisfaction and truth, without having to be involved in the black world so that when he met the two he could tell stories with pride.

"I need help and support to make this change. Maybe I can seek advice from a friend who knows more about this transition" Roberto murmured.

Roberto decided to talk about his intentions to friends who are trustworthy and knowledgeable about the world of work. He wanted to build a network and get the support necessary to change his career path.

Roberto has been hanging out with some of his close friends at their favorite cafe. They are friends who have known Roberto for a long time and have a deep understanding of the world of his work.

A few days later, Roberto was sitting at a table with a cup of coffee. The man was talking to some of his friends.

"Thank you, all of you, have been willing to come even though I can't provide a place and a dish...yes, this potluck!" roberto said, smiling faintly.

"Of course, Roberto. We're always there for you. There's something you want to talk about, huh?" ask Ali, his first friend.

Roberto nodded in agreement, then said in a soft but firm voice.

"Yes, there actually is. A-ku ... wants to change the career path I used to take. I, want out of the black world."

"Oh, that's big, Roberto. But what makes you suddenly want to, get out?" ask Fadli, a second friend who also knows the ins and outs of Roberto's work.

"It has to do with my son, Reo, and Ella. Reo's sick, he needs a spinal cord donor, and I'm a suitable donor."

All his friends, looking at him with gazes did not understand the meaning of the story. They don't know what happened to Roberto all the time.

So if there's news like this, and it's not heard straight from Roberto's mouth they don't know. Moreover, Roberto, usually a little closed to something that is privacy.

"That's amazing, Roberto! But why does this make you want to quit your job?" Sari, her third friend asked.

"I fear that dark life will harm them. You know for yourself what my world is like. I, uh, want to give Reo and Ella a better chance at life." The man, expressed the desire of his heart.

Fadli responded with sympathy, understanding the situation with Roberto. But he doesn't know what Roberto wants right now.

"Then, what are your plans after getting out of that world?" tanyanya.

"I, I don't know for sure. But I want to find a more honest job, maybe help someone like you guys! But, I need your help and support."

Roberto began to speak with his intention, who wanted to start the business despite starting from scratch.

Ali touched Roberto's arm, patting him with the intention of providing support.

"We'll always be there for you, Roberto. We can help you find new opportunities and build the network you need."

Fadli nodded in agreement with Ali's words, because they were both colleagues who used to both pioneer the business from the beginning as well.

"And if there's anything we can do to help Reo and Ella, let us know." Fadli, convince Roberto.

The man, indeed, had already told about Reo and Ella their, and his messy relationship with Isabella.

Roberto spoke with a smile, thanking them, his friends.

"I really appreciate your support. It's a big step for me, but I want to give my best for my family in the future."

At the cozy cafe, Roberto was relieved after speaking openly to his close friends. They promise to help her in her career path change and support her in an effort to start a better life for Reo and Ella.

Roberto has decided to start a new venture different from his world after getting out of the black world. But he also knew that this journey was full of obstacles and challenges.

"You must be sure of your intentions, Roberto. Without it, you will have no purpose when walking.

Hearing Ali's advice, Roberto nodded. His friend, this one, has often given advice to immediately leave the black world. Unfortunately, Roberto has yet to have a definite goal once out of the black world.

After knowing the existence of Reo from Ella, this he has a purpose in life that is like normal humans in general.

"I, will have a happy little family" Roberto, muttered with his own dreams.
