Mathelina
Chapter 24's

"This is impossible. That maid must be lying, right, Elina?" matthew was riled.

Elina just kept quiet, pity to see the disappointment in the brother who had been considered as a kind and loving woman. His hand grabbed Matthew's shoulder, and touched it gently. But Matthew ignored him.

"Tell Elina, do you believe that my sister is that cold, huh?" This time, Matthew ambushed,***strong both arms of Elina.

Elina grimaced softly. In his eyes was a ray of fear. "Matthew, you're hurting me" he said.

Matthews stunned. Yes, both of his hands were too tightly holding both of Elina's arms. You idiot! What he has done. Why is it so rough? He took his hand from Elina's arm.

Elina was not afraid, but she understood what Matthew was feeling. It is better for the man to be alone first, quieting down his emotionally draining thoughts. Then she moved, taking her milk.

"Matthew," he called out, making the man turn his head. "My answer is just this: just ask the person concerned about the truth of this story."

Elina turned around, and left Matthew. Matthew, however, chased after him and grabbed his hand.

"Wait, Elina." The woman also turned around. "You said there were two topics of conversation. Another one about what?"

Elina looked at Matthew's clear blue eyes while thinking for a moment. "My decision, which is not yet appropriate to speak of right now."

-;-;-;-

Because of last night's story, Matthew didn't say a word at the dinner table. He also did not understand the word Monika, not even looking at her in the slightest. Elina observed this change in attitude in silence. Keep carrying out the task, sometimes glancing at Matthew who was also looking at him.

Now it's been a month Elina's been working. Monika gives her salary, as she returns home from the office.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Elina.

Monika smiles. "Elina, I think the milk you drank worked, yes. You look a little fat now."

Elina turned her eyes down. Right, his stomach has been looking quite enlarged now. It's tickling. Could this pregnancy be known to Monika?

"Madam, there's something I want to talk about" said Elina.

"What about?"

-;-;-;-

Poor brother. Monika muttered down from the top floor, looking at Matthew's tired-looking face, walking towards him while loosening the tie.

"Home home? How can you be so tired?" greet Monika, folding both her hands on her chest.

Matthew only gave a quick glance. Nonchalantly, he passed from before Monika and climbed the stairs.

Monika frowning. What's wrong with her? Is he offended? Then he called Matthew. Forced, he turned to look at the woman he did not want to see at all today.

"You're what's wrong? I just talk in silence. Did I offend you? Did I say it wrong?"

"No. Your words are not wrong, but your attitude towards Brother Dimas is wrong," Matthew said rather quietly and coldly.

"Dimas? Whatchu mean?" Monika climbed the stairs, approached Matthew, feeling offended.

"I know everything, your marriage."

Monika's face paled, then lowered her head. It was fitting for Matthew to behave like this, his face was indeed not worth seeing. This despicable woman was her brother who in her eyes was a fine woman. But apparently, it only looks outside.

"Sister, you're very lucky to be paired with Brother Dimas. But you're so blind that you don't see all the good she's been showing" Matthew continued, making Monika even more guilty. "I don't know what triggered you to do such a cruel thing to her."

Matthew held up, sighing. All of the words that settled in his mind felt stifling.

"Matthew, you won't understand what I'm feeling" said Monika. "Marrying someone you don't love and leaving someone you love hurts a lot. I realized that I shouldn't have put it all on Dimas."

Oh my God, what is Monika thinking? I know it's wrong, but I still do. Matthew sighed, calming down. The anger should not come out, because it will not solve the problem.

"Sister, I'm not a father, but I know how Dimas feels." Instantly, Monika looked up and looked at him. "No father wants to part with his son."

Monika wanted to interrupt, but Matthew added, "She loves Justin very much, and must have missed him. Someday, Justin will be like that, just like you missed Dad when he left you."

Yes, Monika remembered back then, how hard she did not cry, always smiling and firm. But when alone, his heart was very fragile. Calling his father, longing for his embrace. Her crying broke instantly. At that time, Monika had to lose her father at a young age, at an age that still needed paternal affection.

Maybe Justin will be like that. Ask his father, want to get his father's affection like his friends. Although he is a strong woman, but he will not be able to play the role of a father to Justin.

Even so, he still could not return to Dimas. Love cannot grow for that man.

"Sister, I won't force you to go back to Brother Dimas. But I hope you can solve this problem. Think again, and be wise."

Matthew's last words ended the conversation. Matthew stepped up, into the room. After cleaning up, he went down to dinner.

"Matthew, what's wrong?" tanya Dewi reprimanded, seeing the face of her son who paled.

"Ah, no," replied Matthew, shaking his head.

Then, the Goddess turned to Monika. "Monik, did you give Elina a salary?" At that moment, Matthew put his ears together.

Monika nodded. "Already, Ma. And today, is the last day he works."

Suddenly everyone turned to a surprising voice, coming from Matthew. Unintentionally, Matthew dropped the spoon from his hand, so the spoon fell on the plate.

"What's wrong with you, Matthew?" ask the Goddess afterwards.

Matthew looked, confused. "Ah, no. I'm done eating. Excuse me." Then, he got out of the chair and left the dining room towards the backyard.

Oh, Elina. Is he angry again? Why did he leave without saying anything? In a panic, he called Elina's number. Shit, not lifted! Aw, Raima! Nor is it lifted. They must have conspired to make him confused and anxious like this.

All you have to do is make sure to go to Raima's house, or Elina's. Stumbling he ran, until accidentally hit Elina who immediately staggered and almost fell, if he did not immediately catch the body of Elina.

He was surprised and relieved. The woman was here. Suddenly she hugged Elina, happy. The heart was beating so fast - that Elina could hear it - it was slowly beating normally. Stupid woman, it's so nice to torture him to such a madness.

"I thought you were gone" Matthew said.

That man made Elina surprised, now even confused. "No. I'll leave if we make a deal. Anyway, Mrs Monika asked me to keep Justin until the end of this week."

Matthew let go of his embrace. "Why? Wait a minute, what deal do you mean?"

Elina approached the chair, then sat down and replied, "Mrs Monika has business and is happy with my work. But I told you I wanted to quit because I wanted to get married."

"Why are you reasoned like?" Matthew interrupted.

"If it doesn't, Mrs Monika won't let me go" Elina said. "Either, he asked me to work another week, just to get things done."

Okay, okay, Matthew doesn't care about that. "Then, where were you? Why not feed Justin."

Elina closed her mouth tightly, bowing her head. "My head is dizzy and nauseous. So, I'm taking a break. I told Aunt Jumi that I caught a cold, and asked her to tell Miss Monika."

Finally, she also answered her curiosity. But still he was worried. "Now, how are you doing?"

"It's still a little dizzy, but it's feeling good."

Matthew sneered inwardly: "Don't smile like that. You're not making me feel relieved, but you're making me more anxious."

"Ec ... Matthew, I've made a decision" Elina said afterwards, looking doubtful.

"What decision?"

"I still won't marry you, but I'll give birth to this child and then you can take care of her."

"What?" Matthew exclaimed in shock, getting out of the chair. "Why did you make such a decision?"

Elina closed her eyes. He knew Matthew would not agree. "You love this kid, don't you? But I didn't want to babysit her when she was born."

Matthew ruffled his hair, furious. Indeed, but he wanted to nurture her along with Elina. He wanted this child to grow up with complete parents.

"Yes, but this child also needs a mother" he replied, trying to refrain from getting angry.

Elina knew that. "But I don't want to get married and take care of her. Point. That's my decision. If you won't accept it, I'll find another way."

No. gabe. Matthew was convinced that what Elina had in mind was to eliminate the child. Don't let that happen. Matthew grabbed his hand and stopped his steps.

"Okay, I agree. Are there any other conditions?" matthew was forced.

"You have to pay for all my needs as long as I'm pregnant. This secret is all we can know."

"alright. But I also have conditions. You can't refuse anything I want."

What does he want? That is to say... Elina's face flushed instantly.

"Originally it's not a strange desire, I agree."

Matthew smiled. His hand was extended, hinting at Elina to take office as a sign that the deal was agreed.

"Guil!"[]
