How can a man be said to be, that is, if he can be held accountable for what he does!
" I want to fix everything." Mathew looked down, not daring to look at Ajeng who was staring at him.
" Why do you want to fix it? Indeed what you've broken so you have to make repairs."
The question that made Mathew think out loud, that this woman was a critical person, was not the convoluted statement he had to say in response.
Now her net is staring straight at the woman who has given birth to her child, making her world feel more meaningful and needed.
" I ruined your life, so let me fix it." I do, but the eyes seem to demand the continuation of the speech that has not been right as the answer.
" Where am I!" Her request.
Ajeng did not answer, his surprise at Mathew's invitation was never thought of by him. How did the person who was cold to her, suddenly invite her to marry? If it is because of Khansa, then the answer is....
" No!" Said firmly.
" Why?" Not surprised at Ajeng's rejection, but Mathew demands an explanation for Ajeng's refusal.
" If you just want to take responsibility for Khansa it's what you've done."
" then?"
" But if you want to marry me, what's your reason so I have to say 'YES'?" With all the pain he received as a result of Mathew's actions, now demands answers that can convince him.
" I want Khansa to have complete parents, complete affection from both parents."
" That's all?"
" I told you I wanted to right my wrongs for you that ruined your life, your future..."
" Nor my family." Ajeng.
" I'm sorry." Mathew said regretfully.
" If the problem is solved with an apology, maybe me and Khansa won't be like this." A look of light, as if reminiscent of the deep pain he felt.
" I know, so let me bear it."
Ajeng sighed, throwing away the weight of remembering the hardships of life after the events of last night that changed his entire life, and the man who made him so was now nearby, getting him married.
" Give me some time."
" I don't have time." Answer Mathew.
" Where are you going?" He looked at Mathew.
" I'll be here if you say 'YES', but if you say 'NO' then there's no point in me here."
" You're forcing me?"
" Not forcing, but giving a choice."
" What will you do when I choose?"
" Certainly did what I was supposed to do."
" Go away if not, stay if yes? Didn't she?' Ajeng.
" If I say 'NO' then are you ready to die us, ahem... I mean Khansa." Ajeng corrected his words.
" I'll take her with me, she can't be away from her papa." Ajeng justifies Mathew's remark, because Khansa is inseparable from her papa.
" Then will you separate me from Khansa? Don't forget I'm her mother, I'm pregnant, I give birth and take care of her."
" Well, what's your answer now?"
" Geez, you're not giving me time. Is that your nature, forcible?" Ajeng shook his head looking at the real handsome human, but it was too firm for him, not even seeming to be able to be casually invited in a bit.
Can I live with a stiff person like him?!
" I could have parted ways with Khansa." Say Ajeng then.
" That's your choice. If you want, you can have children other than Khansa even if you are not with us" Mathew said.
" You can also have children other than Khansa if you marry someone else."
" But unfortunately I have no interest in having children other than him, for me he has had enough, no other children or other marriage, except that with you." The answer that made Ajeng was caught off guard with this man's annoying attitude.
So besides being stiff, he sucks too! Oh my God, what would my life be like with her?
" How?" Mathew waited for Ajeng's answer.
" What should now? Tomorrow or the day after?"
" Now or not at all!" Mathew replied firmly.
" Why are you so forced?" Dengus Ajeng's.
" Because it was forced, Khansa finally came, is that so you? Like forced?"
Ajeng glared at the words that made him angry!
" I said you like to be forced, do I need to force you once again haa!" Mathew's eyes were staring at Ajeng with intent, making Ajeng move.
" Don't try!" Ajeng took a sofa cushion for the protector if at any time Mathew made a determination on him.
" I'm not interested in forcing you." Mathew's easygoing reply made Ajeng shuffle his feet and then leave the room which made him board the apoplexy. But Mathew pulls the swinging arm away, making the unexpected Ajeng to be pulled by Mathew fall directly over Mathew's body.
Eyes meet the eyes, hands meet hands, chest meets the chest but Ajeng is not aware of it, even the position of his legs flanked by Mathew level legs he does not realize, because his focus was only on his pounding heartbeat.
" Give me a chance once, if I end up disappointing you, then you can walk away from me. I promise after that I won't mess with your life and Khansa if you won't let me be with you if you're disappointed with me." Said Mathew in a soft tone, making Ajeng bristling feathers.
Ajeng has not been able to give an answer, his brain has not been able to connect well especially with his position which is currently in the arms of Mathew.
" Can you say 'YES'?" Mathew asked expectantly.
" But we don't know each other." Lirih Ajeng's.
" As time goes by we can do it." replied Mathew.
" We have no feelings either.... Love." Doubt and shame say that.
" It can grow on its own."
Mathew's finger movements that get rid of the hair that covers Ajeng's face, make Ajeng fixated. Moreover, Mathew's eyes that can not be separated to see his face that is right above Mathew, making Ajeng want to cover his face at that moment.
" But my parents will be very angry with you."
" It's natural, because I was wrong. I ruined her daughter's future and just left her."
The teaching is getting confused now. Was he able to believe the words of the man that had already caused destruction for him, but the gazes that were looking at him seemed to say sincere earnestness.
Ajeng was closed, trying to cradle with his heart, not his mind.
" You have the right to refuse if you don't want to."
" But think about what about Khansa! He needs both of us, not one of us."
" I have no intention of playing in this! So if one day you're disappointed in me, I'm sincerely leaving, but at least give me one chance, please!" Please Mathew.
" If they don't approve of us how?"
" You mean your parents?" Ask Mathew.
" It's their right, but how come in your circumstances like this they're not with you?"
" They're disappointed I got divorced with Bobby. They said my son can't keep the family's good name, that's why I chose to leave instead of them being embarrassed by my condition being pregnant without a clear status and getting divorced after they misunderstood Bobby's mas that they thought I was pregnant because of him." Clearly Ajeng, Mathew felt more guilty afterwards.
" So fatal the mistake I made turned out to be."
" Can I ask you something?"
" Just ask."
" Why did you do 'that' with me that night?"
Prolonged supporting Ajeng's body, Mathew became numb, eventually he shifted position by shifting Ajeng's body to the side, but still holding it with his hand so that Ajeng did not run away. Now the position of his body is tilted with because of the narrow sofa, so that he does not fall, but the position is even tempting for him, because at this time he can hug comfortably Ajeng's body.
Ajeng tried to get up, he was uncomfortable after realizing his position was not far from Mathew, but Mathew still held him.
" Can we not be like this?"
Mathew chuckled, even more tightened his embrace, making Ajeng more tense.
" I'll let you go if you answer my question, YES or NO!"
Ajeng is more confused, lucky nature saved him. Baby Khansa cried, that could be the reason for her to escape Mathew's embrace. Long time in the arms of the man made him almost hanging.
" Khansa cry, watch out." Ajeng tried to take off Mathew's embrace.
" Answer up!" Mathew was using the situation as well as possible. With the cry of baby Khansa, it will be easier to get an answer from Ajeng.
" Khansa is crying." Ajeng wriggled, but Mathew kept him. Losing energy, Ajeng realized it would not be able to escape easily.
His brain was running at the right time. She brought her face closer to Mathew's face, as if she was going to give him a kiss, and Mathew would have been happy to have Ajeng do that.
The distance is getting eroded, until there are only a few more inches of a kiss or kiss will Mathew get. Until Mathew finally gets carried away, he will welcome lips that are moving closer, but something unexpected makes him scream.
Ajeng bit his nose, until his hand involuntarily took off his embrace and then held his nose which hurt.
Ajeng immediately got out of Mathew's body, then ran to the room of baby Khansa.
Forgot to close the door, and it turns out Mathew was following her right then and there.
Baby Khansa who was crying was immediately speechless to see her parents running around, especially with Mathew who immediately caught Ajeng's body, making baby Khansa laugh even more, it's funny how his parents are like Tom and Jerry.
Seeing the baby Khansa laughing, Mathew and Ajeng were stunned, until a moment later they laughed at the cuteness of the baby Khansa. Mathew took off Ajeng, immediately raised the body of the puffer, then landed a kiss in a row.
Ajjik... Now sure if he had to say 'YES' for the sake of his little family. Whatever happens later, he must be sure that with Mathew, he will be able to get through it.
Mathew and Ajeng's story continues after I LOVE YOU, ENCUS finished yes... 🤗🤗🤗
