The Light of Love (Children of Genius)
Chapters 2. The Love that Flies

Roberto feels an increasing inner conflict, he doesn't know what he has to do. However, in this concern, there is one thing he believes in — he should find out more about Ella and Reo, before he makes any decision.

"I need some time to think about it, Ella. I need to know more about all this."

Ella nodded understandingly, knowing that this process would take time.

As they continue their journey in silence, Reo's destiny now hinges on whether Roberto will be able to open his heart and see the truth behind the secret that has been hidden.

The silence of a long warm night shrouded the quiet cafe of visitors. A small lamp lit up, creating a serene and secretive atmosphere. They sat on a comfortable sofa, their faces covered in shadows in weak lighting.

Roberto grabs a cup of tea that has cooled down, trying to get rid of the anxious feelings that continue to haunt his mind.

"Ella, I want to know more about all this. About you, about Reo, and why you chose to go."

Ella stared at her cup of tea with a full look and mind. He didn't know where the right start was.

"I never intend to go forever, Roberto. I got pregnant when I left. After that long night, a few months later, I just found out I'm pregnant."

Roberto looked at him with a look full of surprise. He never imagined that there was a greater secret that he had been hiding.

"But why didn't you tell me? Why is this all hidden?" ask her with a hardened face.

Ella felt a sense of regret in her words, having to tell her the life she had actually hidden.

"I know this is hard to understand. But when I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know what to do. I know about your life, your looks, about tattoos, and I don't want my son to be tied to anything that could affect his life."

Roberto was confused and disappointed at the same time. He doesn't know how to respond to all this.

"So, you decided to just leave? After judging me that bad?"

Ella nodded slowly, wiping away the tears that appeared in her eyes.

"I knew I had to protect Reo, and I felt this was the best. But now, when he's sick and needs your help, I have to deal with it. I have to face you."

Roberto felt his feelings of confusion and confusion deepening. He felt trapped in a complicated and emotional situation.

"Do you want me to donate my spinal cord?" tanyanya.

Ella looked into Roberto's eyes with hope, confused as to what to answer a question that shouldn't be asked at a time like this.

"I don't know what you're thinking. But I just want to give Reo a chance to live, to heal. You're a part of it all."

Roberto pondered for a moment, weighing all Ella's words. He knew that this was an important decision that would affect many lives, including his own.

In his confusion, one thing that was certain was that he felt he had to find out more about Reo before he could make a decision.

"good. Now, tell me everything about Reo!"

***

Five years ago.

The sound of water gurgling and refreshing breezes filled the air in the shady garden. Ella and Roberto sat cross-legged on the picnic mat, their laughter accompanying a light joke.

Roberto seems a lot more relaxed than he looks now. He wore a loose plaid shirt and torn jeans, and the tattoos on his lower arm began to appear. His once feisty face was now lifted by a wide smile, shining down on the atmosphere.

Ella, with a gentle smile and a gentle laugh, looked at Roberto with eyes full of love. His long hair was blown away by the wind as he followed the light jokes that Roberto had thrown. He seemed to smile more easily, be more confident, and be more free.

"of course! You sit on a park bench, reading a book seriously. I didn't even dare to approach you because I thought you were too focused," Roberto replied by tidying Ella's flying hair.

"In fact, I'm just pretending to focus, so you can get closer to me." Ella let out a small laugh after revealing the truth of that time.

"Haha ... Is that true? Seriously? You're really lying to me?" Roberto asked in disbelief at the reality.

Ella smiled gently, nodding in agreement. But, after that he said with a reason that made Roberto smile too.

"Well, in the end you came and greeted me. It was one of the best moments of my life" Ella said with sparkling eyes.

"I'm a fool, aren't I? But it seems like it was one of the best decisions I've ever made" Roberto shook his head several times.

Ella again smiled meaningfully, looking at Roberto's face lovingly. He did admire the figure of his senior brother, although there are many rumors that Roberto is a playboy who participated in dark activities.

"You know, I often imagine what it's like to be with someone who really cares about me. And it turns out, you came and changed everything."

Roberto took Ella's hand, brought her to the chest.

"You changed my life, too, Ella. I learned what true love is because of you" she said with a smile.

What Roberto said, made Ella smile shyly. It was as if there were a lot of butterflies flying around his head!

"You know, I used to always think that love was just something that was in a novel or a movie. But with you, I feel that love is real."

Again, Ella smiled with her face down. He was too ashamed to hear the words of Roberto as if he were seducing him

Roberto looked at him gently with his bowed lover. He himself was astonished, because he never expressed feelings to the girls or girls who always came to surround himself.

"You are living proof that love is real, Ella. You make me feel more meaningful."

After saying so, Roberto raised Ella's face to look at her more closely. This made Ella even more embarrassed with a reddened face.

By looking at Ella's face, Roberto was even more anxious with his lover who looked innocent and cupid.

Roberto clasped Ella's hand tightly, as if afraid that Ella would leave him. Later, Roberto raises Ella's hand to kiss her.

"You know, I promised myself that I would always protect and love you."

"I believe you, Roberto. We'll face anything together,";

Their conversation was full of laughs, but also filled with an irreplaceable sense of love and familiarity. Among all their conversations, there was a strong and special bond, which was intertwined with the feeling of love they had.

They both look like a loving couple. Their laughter echoes around the park, creating a moment of happiness.

Behind the cloudless blue sky, a vast beach stretched out gently. The sparkling white sand was neatly arranged under the warm sunlight. Ella and Roberto walked side by side along the waterfront, leaving the park around.

The cool sea water touched their feet, flowing a peaceful feeling like the hearts of both who were being drunk with romance.

Ella smiled widely, her right hand tightly intertwined with Roberto's left hand. They walked leisurely, their laughter accompanying every word and joke they shared.

Sometimes, they stare at each other with a loving look and a tickling little laugh as they exchange personal jokes that only the two of them understand.

At one point, Roberto stopped his steps and turned to face Ella. In a pleasant silence, she raised her hand and pulled Ella closer, then pressed her soft lips against Ella's lips.

Their first kiss on the beach felt like a passionate dance, depicting the growing affection and love between them.
