Mathelina
Chapter 29's

Monika was cleaning up Justin's toys scattered on the upstairs porch. Justin was sleeping in his room.

It was exhausting, after Elina left this house, she took care of Justin. There is no substitute nanny at this time, she still wants to be closer to her son, before returning to become a career woman and leading the company in Jakarta.

Justin's phone screen lit up, making him shift his gaze. A smile flashed across his lips, Dimas sent out a photo as they met at an amusement park. Some other photos were also sent, until accidentally saw a video recorded about a few weeks ago.

It cringes. "What video is this?"

Then, he pressed the play button. A recording with a conversation between a man and a woman is heard, but the camera position does not expose them, only that he knows the voice of both. In the next minute, the camera leads to the two men.

Monika was surprised, then closed her mouth. He did not believe Justin, accidentally, recorded a video that had been his doubts about his conjecture.

"This is impossible."

It's the last day Matthew lives with Elina in a rented house. A week disappeared under false pretenses could not be maintained, especially if it was discovered by his brother.

The sound of hot oil whispering was heard in the kitchen. Matthew, who had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist, approached Elina and stood some distance away.

It's cooking apparently. He was thinking of helping the woman rather than just waiting for her food to cook. So he stepped into the room and got dressed.

Elina did not realize that Matthew was beside her, took a knife and grabbed an onion for her to peel. However, as soon as the corner of his eyes caught a handsome figure - even though his wet hair was still messy - he asked in wonder:

"What are you doing? Just sit down, let me cook."

The man looked stiff as he held the knife and peeled off a layer of onion skin. Her tears had welled up in her eyes, as a result of the onion-piercing scent that made her eyes poignant.

"No. I'm just bored, so I want to help .. aw!"

Hearing the screams of her pain, Elina immediately turned her head and put down her knife. Bloods. Elina swerves. Matthew's index finger sliced through the knife and drew blood.

Panicked Elina, turned off the stove, then took Matthew to sit on the sofa. While running small, Elina looked for the medicine box, then quickly approached her. He cleaned Matthew's wound with an antiseptic first, then put on red medicine, and finally wrapped his finger with plaster.

Matthews, Matthews. He who used to hold a pen, now holds a knife and peels an onion, too. See right? Now, his smooth finger had a cut and plaster attached.

This wound is a little sore, but it brings benefits to Matthew. His hand came into contact with Elina's hand, looking at her so closely even though there was no smile attached to her lips. She loved the scent of Elina lotion stroking her nose, making her blood rustle again, like when they kissed in the rain. Can it happen again? It just so happened that he hadn't touched those lips for a week. Elina had been very careful in her attitude, so she could not use it.

It's done, the wound has been treated. For some reason, the flick went straight to Matthew. The man smiled, but instead made Elina feel sad. The reason is, the smile has a different meaning; so long, full of desire. He hinted, could this man be....

Not yet had his brain finished deciphering the thing he was thinking about happening, Matthew pulled him closer to his body, stroking Elina's cheek gently, so that the woman's heart was racing. But for a long time the touch lulled; though wanting, but Elina could not resist - the feeling in her heart that drove her to continue like this.

But his mind was screaming. A kiss is the beginning of lust, which leads to something more intimate. He didn't want to do it again because it was wrong. They are not married, after all.

Matthew would bring his lips closer to Elina's, but the woman turned her head, slowly moving the man's hand away from her cheek.

"Don't, Matthew," he said softly.

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then understood. He won't ask why. If Elina doesn't want it, then she won't force it.

Then, Matthew stood up and grabbed the medicine box. "Continue cooking it" he said flatly, then went to the room.

Elina looked at her back which was only a few steps away. Feeling that he had let the man down, he got angry.

The voice of Matthew's phone rang out behind the pocket of his shorts. He stopped to pick up the phone. He frowned in wonder to see the number Monika listed on the phone screen. I don't know what's up? It might be important.

"Hello."

Monika's voice sounded firm and cold. Her feelings became uneasy, let alone her asking for her whereabouts now. Of course, he replied that he was going to Bandung for business.

"Say, where are you now!" repeat Monika starts to grow angry.

"Don't lie!" cut Monika, rebuke. "I already know about you and Elina."

Matthew glanced at Elina who was slowly standing up while looking at him. Her face was pale, making Elina nervous.

"Alright, I'll be at his place" said Matthew finally gave up.

Elina didn't ask what happened, but her brain was filled with questions and guesses.

-;-;-;-

The roar of the car engine was heard from outside - in less than an hour, Monika had already found this house. Matthew shuffled from the window towards the door fretfully. Elina who was in the corner of the sofa, sat down nervously while watching him.

Shortly after, the sound of knocking on the door was heard. With his big steps, Matthew rushed towards the door and opened it. He was stunned to see Monika coming along with her mother who looked sad.

Elina spontaneously stood up to see their arrival. And Matthew let his sister and mother in, while Elina made three cups of tea.

The guests had sat down, but the conversation had not yet begun before the tea attendant sat down with them.

He glanced at these two people with a serious and annoyed look. Unheard of the words of Elina, who offered her a drink that had been served at the table.

"Why are you lying, Matthew?" he pointed directly, his gaze pointed sharply at his sister.

Matthew glanced down, like pensive. "I have my reasons...."

"By living together with Elina?!" Monika can't handle her emotions anymore.

The goddess touched Monika's arm to hold back, because this was not the way to talk to Matthew.

"Monika found a video of you kissing Elina on Justin's phone" Dewi said carefully, giving the phone a black color, which the screen has shown a video.

Matthew pressed the "play" button". Smart child, recording a secret that has been kept tight by him and Elina. They say nothing more, deny nothing. All they wanted to hear was a clarification of what they saw.

"Matthew, have you really kissed Elina?" ask the Goddess, hoping that what she saw was a lie.

Matthew fell silent, closed his eyes, grievous that in the end he should hurt his mother with this answer: "Yes, right. I did it."

Actually, the Goddess was a bit sad to hear that. However, it is not something that is wrong, because kissing is a common thing in this era. But living together under one roof, that's what he couldn't accept. That was not the moral value he taught his son.

"What is the relationship between you?" The goddess asked by trying as patiently as possible.

"We don't have any relationship."

What answer is that? If they don't have a relationship, why do they kiss? Why do they have a roof. Make Monika ride apitam only.

"Then, what do you mean do this-kiss, together? What is this, Matthew?" After being satisfied to snap at her, Monika turned to look at Elina, cynically. "Oh, it must be this girl who seduced you, right?"

Elina was spontaneous. He shakes, will argue. But Matthew interrupted him:

"No. I really wanted to do it. Elina didn't seduce me at all."

Like being struck by lightning, the Goddess could hardly believe what she was hearing. What's wrong with this kid?

"But why? Actually, what's going on? Tell me from the beginning," scowl Goddess.

Matthew sighed. One of the hardest things he had to do was this: a big confession. I don't know what would happen if this were said. Is his mother going to faint? That's what it's terrible about.

"Elina is pregnant with my child."[]
