Savero blinked his eyes a few times, thinking as Donzello looked at him. Flavian words made him realize that he had to answer immediately.
"I'm just surprised that I'm going to have a sister at my age." Savero's reply still showed the same expression. "That's so funny. But I'm happy for you, Papa."
Donzello becomes laughing at Savero's answer. He felt that anyone would be very surprised when he got news like that. No one would not be surprised to know that he would become an older brother at such an old age like the current Savero.
"Congratulations." Savero showed his smile.
After taking Darla away, Donzello returned to his room, Savero and Flavia followed him to congratulate Ruella.
"It turns out you're coming, Flavia. I thought you wouldn't come again. Yesterday you didn't seem to like what I said." Said Ruella ?still sitting on the bed.
"No, it's not that I don't like what you're saying. I just feel like there's nothing I want to say to you, so I'll just shut up afterwards." Flavia replied showing her smile. "Congratulations, you'll be a mother. I'm glad to hear it and happy for you too."
Hearing the two women's words made Savero a little curious about what Ruella said yesterday when the woman drove Flavia home. Something that made Flavia not want to say anything to Ruella. Is it about him or something else?
"Sav, why daydream?" Flavia turned to Savero who was standing at his right hand in silence.
"I'm glad you're pregnant. That's very surprising news. Congratulations on your pregnancy. You have to look after her. Don't get too tired and eat healthy." Savero.
Donzello chuckled, seeing Savero in his eyes so cute with the man's expression.
"Sav, when the boy is born, I'll ask him to call you papa too. At your age you should have a child and not a sister. You were born when I wasn't even 20 years old, but you're not even married at your age" cried Donzello who stood next to the bed near Ruella sitting.
Flavia laughed along with Donzello because of the man's joke. Savero purposely laughs to respond, even though in his heart he feels something very uncomfortable because of the reality.
"Alright, it looks like my wound is starting to hurt again. I'll rest now." Savero continued while placing his left hand on the abdomen where his gunshot wound was located.
Ruella just kept quiet and answered nothing. He chose to be quiet because it was a secret that made him better not to say anything.
Flavia accompanied Savero to walk towards the door to be with the man to his room.
"Sav, wait a minute." Donzello made his son's move with Flavia come to a halt, just before they opened the door.
Suddenly Donzello hugged Savero, it made anyone who was there feel strange, especially on Savero.
"Sav, thank you for saving Rue from that shot until you got shot. If you don't do it and they shoot Rue, I'll lose the baby she's carrying. I'm so grateful to you, Sav." Look at Donzello after hugging Savero.
There was nothing Savero said to answer Donzello because what really happened was the reason. Savero did so by blocking Ruella from the shot because she did not want Ruella to lose the baby.
Just a small nod Savero showed in response to Donzello's gratitude. Afterwards he rushed out of the room room together with Flavia.
Ruella just silently saw and heard what Donzello did and said to the father of the child she was born with. It made the woman's feelings even more unpleasant. He can feel how Savero also looks like he also feels. Even so, for Ruella it was not something that mattered. He was relieved that everything was going as smoothly and as he expected.
Donzello walked over to Ruella, a smile of happiness still emanating on the man's face. Soon she hugged Ruella as she arrived and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I'm so happy, baby. This is the best year of my life. I am married and will have a child. Thank you, Rue." Donzello held onto Ruella very tightly.
Donzello took off his embrace and looked at Ruella back.
"We must tell this happy news to your father and mother. They'll be so happy to hear it." Donzello looked at Ruella. "They certainly wouldn't have thought that they would become grandparents. You've given happiness to everyone, Rue." Donzello held onto Ruella's stomach and then kissed her lips.
"You look so happy, Don." Unknowingly Riella said this by looking fixed Donzello.
"Of course, you gave me the best present of the year." Donzello then hugged Ruella again very warmly.
...***...
Savero, who felt pain from a surgical wound, removed a bullet in his stomach, helped by Flavia up to the bed. I don't know why the pain in his stomach is starting to come back.
"What's the effect of the cure, Sav?" Flavia asked after helping Savero sit down. "It's better that you stay on bed rest for a while. Wait for the wound to completely heal and then you can get out of bed. You said when you took that painkiller your head hurt, right? Cause it's just like I said and you don't have to take that medicine anymore."
"Good, doctor. I'll follow all your words so I can get well soon." Gurau Savero gave a smile to Flavia who was still standing nearby.
Flavia had a small laugh, but it didn't last long because he remembered something he wanted to tell Savero.
"Thank you for coming to see me today. But you take it easy, I'll recover quickly. You don't have to worry about me, Fla."
Suddenly Flavia sat on the edge of the bed facing Savero with a serious looking gaze.
Seeing him made Savero look confused. He knew there was something serious that Flavia was about to say to him at this moment.
"Sav, after I think about it... Looks like you were right. I mean, I'm gonna try to make Matteo go away." Flavian Speech. "And I will think again of you. We can start everything from now on."
The words of Flavia made Savero's heart feel like it had stopped. It made him very surprised because finally Flavia was willing to open his heart to himself who loved Flavia very much.
