The Mafia Bride
Chapter 81: Truth

Almost half an hour passed by and Kenzi sat quietly in a chair by the window of the room. He had never felt this fear, almost his entire life had been spent with blood bets. To build wealth and power, but Kenzi understands the consequences of the world he has been in all this time. The law of the jungle is a rule that cannot be avoided. There will always be a younger and stronger moment coming, replacing the old and established. The criminal world has always been so since it was born, and it has not gone against the law. Kenzi is ready to lose everything he has.

But it's about losing another. Something he initially thought was just a Barbie doll among the thousands of beautiful dolls he easily got and then dumped for a fee. Siena is no longer a Barbie doll where she is free to play. Siena is a human being, a woman, even more than that. Siena is the Queen who has taken control of her heart. Kenzi was very afraid of losing a heart he had never had before.

Will the news of the truth that Surya, his biological father, turns a Queen who begins to love him into a despotic Queen against him? Then get rid of Kenzi all the way? Will Siena understand why Kenzi hid this fact because Kenzi used to hate Siena, and now turns into a lover who wants to walk in the truth?

"Hey! you daydreaming? That cigar's not dead yet, it's about to light another new one!"

Kenzi's daydream is spoiled by the arrival of Siena who suddenly sits on his lap.

"You crying?" siena asked again, stunned to see a tear drop almost falling from the corner of Kenzi's eye.

Kenzi smiled faintly, this time not trying to hide his weakness, he turned off the cigars on the ashtray on the table. His eyes looked back at Siena and asked, " honey, do you think, which is more important between love and truth?"

Siena was stunned for a moment, her two eyebrows twitched to look at Kenzi's face that looked riled up. Then she smiled sweetly, her hands clutching Kenzi's shoulders. "Pick whatever you can, choose between the two, I still get two."

Now that Kenzi was linking his eyebrows together, he had yet to grasp the meaning of Siena's words. "Why?" ask Kenzi curiously.

"Because truth is a fact of love, love is a perceived truth." Siena stood near the windowpanes, staring far ahead.

Once you love someone, that person will always want to tell the truth to the one he loves, he does not want to lie.

Kenzi's problem, he just hasn't been able to see the equation, he still thinks love and truth are different. The man equates love with possession. So he was afraid of losing possession of Siena.

Though not so with Siena, he already knows all 'redeemed' Kenzi. Siena still loves him. So it doesn't matter to Siena, if 1 additional Kenzi's rottenness facts, he knows. Especially this is about the truth of his father who is still alive.

Kenzi stood up directly hugging Siena from behind and kissed the top of her head. Siena turned her body quickly returning Kenzi's embrace.

"Siena, every time I see you get hurt I get really upset. Every time you're out of sight, I get so scared."

Siena smiled, she buried her face in Kenzi's chest, "all will be well, I'm with you." Siena was crying in Kenzi's arms, this indeed sounded strange. Since marrying a man named Reegan. For the first time Siena felt the presence of Kenzi. Who protects Siena from anything, and considers her his queen.

"You're not the first, but your presence means a lot to me. I didn't have anyone after my mother left."

"I will never leave you, Siena" Kenzi said. "So you need me, like I'm afraid of losing you? To be the man who always understands all things about you?"

Siena looked up at Kenzi's eyes, looking for seriousness there. And finally Siena nodded.

Kenzi smiled faintly, his heart relieved to hear all Siena's statements. Slowly he would throw away the fear of losing Siena even if it was hard. Kenzi rubbed both of Siena's cheeks and kissed Siena's lips at a glance. Then he hugged her tightly.

"Father!

Surya was fixated with the figure of the princess who had been longed for was standing before his eyes. His hands stretched out softly with tears that somehow had fallen on his cheeks which began to look wrinkles on his face The longing and disbelief present ruled the recesses of his heart. Slowly Surya touched Siena's cheek.

" My daughter." she said slowly.

Siena smiled, nodding her head to look at the figure of the father who had been considered dead.

"Grepp's! Surya immediately hugged Siena's body tightly. Crying shed the longing he had been feeling all along. Siena returned her father's embrace, for the umpteenth minute Siena was silent and listened to the longing speech of the man she had never known her face since childhood. Siena drifted away in a happy feeling so that her tears did not flow.

Warm embrace of Surya, Siena let go to look at the face of Surya who is not young anymore. " Don't leave me again, stay here with me."

"What my wife said, right!"

Surya and Siena turned their faces towards Kenzi who was already standing before them.

Siena turned her gaze to look at Surya who lowered her head, she saw the look of a sad face. "Why Pa? Papa won't?" siena asked sadly.

Surya raised his face, hurriedly rubbed Siena's cheeks gently. "No, baby, it's not that."

"Then?" Kenzi grabbed Siena by the shoulder and held her tightly. He understood the anxiety on Surya's face. The same thing with him, if he stays with Siena, it will be dangerous. But Kenzi is no longer like that. At least he was a little more relieved.

"Papa scared?" Surya did not continue, he said.

"Fear endangering my life? isn't that Pa?" Siena smiled, she grabbed Surya's hand, rubbing it gently. He already understood his Papa's fears as Kenzi feared them. "Whatever happens, we face it all. We're Pa's family."

Kenzi nodded his head confirming Siena's speech. At a glance kissed Siena's cheek and then looked back at Surya who was still hesitant.

"Papa's life no longer means dear, Papa has abandoned you. You deserve to be happy." Surya lowered his head, his hand rubbing the tears that were about to fall. He might endanger his own daughter. Moreover, all this time he had entrusted his daughter in an orphanage. Half of his life was wasted just seeking revenge on his boss Kenzi, but it has not been resolved.

"Stay here with your daughter" said Kenzi slowly.

Surya stared at Kenzi for quite a while, was it true that the man who had always been cold and cruel had turned so far away from before? then turned to look at Siena and nodded his head.

"All right, baby."

Siena smiled widely, she glanced at Kenzi for a moment then hugged Surya tightly. The happiness he has now is complete.
