Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!

Listening to Gavi, Dante was completely speechless. But the little boy was not done there. There was more he had to say. "You see, Uncle Dante, my mom doesn’t have any male figure in her life. And unfortunately, my grandfather has left the world quite early. And all this years, my momma was busy with her studies and career. And though my great grandpa might worry about it sometimes, but he is already very old for it. So naturally, the responsibility for looking for a good man for her falls on my shoulders, doesn’t it?" Gavi spoke as if he was not a three- four years old kid, but a grown adult.

And hearing all this, Dante’s face has already grown ashen and grey. He was just a little away from slapping his palm on his forehead and crying his heart, lungs and kidneys out. Here, he was so painstakingly trying to get closer to Dove, breaking her walls and guard around him one by one, and trying to win over her heart. But on the other hand, this little boy, his own biological son was looking for a list of other men for his momma to date and marry! Gavriel, did you not feel an ounce of guilt to betray your father in this way! Dante thought bitterly as invisible tears streamed down his eyes.

Wasn’t he acting very mature and out of character for his age?!

And what was worst? What was worst was that, what ever this little kid said just now strangely made sense to him? Is he losing his mind? He was definitely.

For a good few moment, they just continued to stare at each other, both the big man and little man looking as if they were ready to pierce each other’s soul. Finally, sighing, Dante lowered his head, and then he recalled Gavi’s words, about the criteria of men that he needed for his momma.

And as if lit by hope, he looked up at him and said, "And if that is the case, then what about me? I... I too meet all the qualifications you have isn’t it? And what more I also have a good personality and you all know that. Also, I really like ..." And there, he went silent not continuing anymore.

Dante knew that he sounded rather desperate, but then he really was.

Gavi shrugged, and said casually as if he did not see or hear what Danet wanted to say, and he said nodding his head, "Oh, and being said that, I did find your name in a few magazines, Uncle Dante. But there were no pictures of you." Dante nodded his head, his eyes practically shining when he heard that Gavi had found his name too, and he said, "Well, it is because I haven’t allowed the public channels to publish my picture yet. So basically they all know me, and don’t know how I look."

Gavi nodded his head, understanding a little. And then Dante said, "By the way, you can also consider me, you know..." Dante blabbered without thinking much, after all Gavi was just a kid.

But then, Gavi said something that instantly shut him up, "Uncle Dante, do you like my momma?"
