I LOVE YOU, ENCUS
Ajeng And Mathew part 4

Ajeng sighed. His life why is this complicated!

" What?"

Mathew asked who was patting baby Khansa on her cradle.

" No papa." Ajeng.

" Has not slept yet?"

Mathew flipped his body so that Ajeng could see the face of the baby Khansa who was on his shoulder.

" Take it to your room."

Ajeng precedes to prepare a bed for the baby Khansa, and Mathew follows from behind.

" We need to talk." Take Mathew, Ajeng nodded.

They walked out of the room, without closing the door to easily keep an eye on the sleeping baby Khansa. Sitting in the living room separated by a table, they were now facing each other.

The atmosphere was silent for quite a long time, until Mathew started first.

" Is there a mind that's weighing on you?" Ask Mathew.

" I don't know, I'm confused!" Ajeng shook his head then leaned back, massaging his temple to relieve his throbbing head.

Mathew moved places, taking a seat beside Ajeng.

" Is it your decision to come with me that makes you doubtful?"

" I feel like I'm losing my way, it's complicated my mind right now." Complain Ajeng.

" Sir, hates me so much, no more care for me. And I'm also the cause of mother blame."

Mathew nodded in understanding, it was quite heavy for Ajeng. The family should be a place to share, a place to go home when lost, but now the door of the house is closed at that time only the only one who wants to go.

" Come here." Mathew patted her thigh so Ajeng put his head there.

While gently scowling Ajeng's head, they continued their conversation.

" I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Ajeng shook his head "Don't just blame yourself mas, I also take part. Had I not been with my friend that night, this might not have happened. But the truth is, and when we meet, I assume it's destiny for us."

" You don't regret choosing to live with me?"

" What to regret. If this is the way, what should I do? besides following."

" Even if you should be blasphemed by people for abandoning your faith to come with me?"

" I was not a saint before. I don't really live that much, just think of it as status on an identity card. What a difference if later I can be better after being with you." Ajeng looked at Mathew's eyes which were also staring at him.

" Living with me means being ready to face the strange life of Ajeng. There will be many problems can also be a threatening danger from those who still want me to obey their wishes. That means you have to be strong, to be able to when that time comes."

" When you're with me, I can."

" Sure that?"

" Hmmm... We learn, make the family as a strength when we are down. Don't avoid what should happen. Don't repeat the same mistake."

" Want to drink tea, let the pain decrease?" Mathew stroked Ajeng's hair gently.

" It's just that, it's not sick."

" I'm sometimes jealous of Rayyan's family." Mathew mutters.

" Why?" Sahut Ajeng's.

" They are rich, but they do not think only of possessions. Not to make children an asset, but to give children freedom. But just when they are given freedom, they obey their parents."

" That's the name they're responsible for. Responsible for the freedom given by his parents."

" Why did you run away from your family?"

" If your life is exchanged for property, your value is equated with company assets, are you able to live it?"

" But Yusril can."

" He's just playing behind Ajeng."

" What do you mean, mas?"

" He's just playing with papa's company, and the marriage he's in is also just a game. You'll know for yourself."

" Can that be?"

" That woman, who is now married to Yusril, was just making use of the treasure my family gave her for her poya-foya, even she didn't care what Yusril would do, the important thing is that in front of their extended family they look fine."

" So you refuse to be betrothed?"

" For me, marriage is not a game, something that cannot be exchanged for anything, and can only happen once in a lifetime, bound by love, not by force or by circumstance."

" What does it mean to...." Ajeng hesitates to continue saying, as he himself does not have enough guts to ask about Mathew's feelings.

" What?" Mathew waited to continue Ajeng's words.

" No, it's not." Ajeng gets up. He's getting clumsy now, knowing Mathew must be demanding the continuation of his sentence.

" What? I why?" Mathew was confused.

" No. I'm sorry I had to go to my room, afraid Khansa would wake up."

Ajeng stepped up, but his hand was now in Mathew's grasp.

" Say what first?" Mathew pulled Ajeng to sit back down.

Why is he looking at me like that? Bikin.

" What do you want to ask me, why me?"

" Look here!" Mathew held Ajeng's face to look at him.

" Let me find out for myself what you want to ask." Mathew examined Ajeng's eyes which were twitching irregularly, refusing to look directly at Mathew's eyes.

" Look here." Pinta Mathew once again.

The teaching was transfixed when Mathew's eyes locked onto his gaze. He couldn't speak, only his heart was growing irregular and his whole body was hot.

" You want to ask what hem is."

" I forgot." Ajeng.

" I love you."

Ajeng almost choked, hearing Mathew say the two words he wanted to ask earlier.

" You want to conclude my words, right?"

" Your conclusion is not wrong Ajeng, I just want to marry with love, not by force."

" So now if I decide to marry you, it means I love you."

" Not because of Khansa?" Ask Ajeng.

" Khansa is proof of my love." Answer Mathew.

" li lie! He exists because of accident."

" But still the child is the fruit of Ajeng's love. I loved Khansa as my son, and now I love you as the mother of my son."

Serr... Good Lord! Put me down, don't let me soar. Wake me up if I'm dreaming, wake me up if I'm dreaming!

Ajeng pinched Mathew's arm.

" Oh!" Mathew yells.

" Why pinch." Mathew rubbed his red skin because of Ajeng.

" I thought I was dreaming."

" Dream of meeting a handsome man!" Mathew raised his eyebrows, teasing Ajeng.

" Skeleton!" Ajeng.

" Living capital!" Mathew chimed.

" It's up to you!" Ajeng woke up again.

Mathew interesting again, now Ajeng fell on his lap. Making Ajeng the shortest, but Mathew immediately locked it by hugging tightly.

" Mum, get off." Pinta Ajeng while wriggling.

" Answer my question."

" What?" Ajeng is silent.

Mathew looked into Ajeng's eyes, now they were looking at each other, locking each other up.

" What?"

" Do you love me?"

The deg! Ajeng.

" Do you love me?" Rework Mathew.

" We wouldn't get married if we didn't have the same feelings. Answer me!" Mathew.

" What to say?" Ajuka.

" Say!" Mathews.

" But I'm ashamed." Ajuka.

" It's just me." Mathews.

Silence, silence, silence, the sound of crickets so backsound.

One second

Two seconds

Three seconds

" I love you too." Ajuka.

" Really?" Mathews.

" Yes!" Ajuka.

Hugs are getting tighter, but should be interrupted when baby Khansa cries. As fast as lightning Ajeng immediately jumped from Mathew's lap, running towards the room, leaving Mathew who was shaking with anxiety with Ajeng's behavior. He then followed his son and mother in the room, closing the door after he entered, so as not to be seen by the lizards on the wall, quietly creeping... Striking from the gap, what about what are they doing?! Only God and they know!
