Nothing has changed from this woman; still likes to be lazy to finish home, take a long nap. But what was different was just a little: his body was thinner.
Elina asked if she was sick. While cleaning up the junk snacks on the table, he replied that he was in good health.
"Where the hell is it? The number is off, keep not telling me the news," he said, putting two warm teas on the table, and then he sat on the couch.
"Sori, it's sudden" replied Elina.
After sipping his tea, Raima again asked, "Suddenly how do you mean?"
Elina told me about what happened two years ago. After William exits Elina's nursery, Kevin comes and asks if she is ready? Elina nodded and hurriedly kept her check.
The shocked Raima cut the story. "Lo went with Kevin? What is your relationship with him?"
"Nothing!" spontaneously Elina denied. "I was horrified. So, he took me to Jakarta. He told me that Matthew had been making his own company with his three friends. Continues, I was made one of the shareholders about 10 percent."
"Lo crazy! Mean you rich dong now?" raima's comments were half-cried.
Elina hissed, saying not to make a fuss. And Raima immediately locked her mouth shut. Shortly thereafter, Elina was pensive.
"So, he went to England before the accident because he wanted to take care of the company and shareholding? She asked me to stay in London after marriage" Elina said.
Later, Elina tells how she lived for the past two years. Elina chose to live around the Bekasi area, continuing her studies, after 6 months she graduated from college and worked at a company in Jakarta.
Raima held her chin, thinking for a while after hearing the details of the story until it ran out. "Where do you get money for college?"
"From the share of the company's results" replied Elina. "But now I'm stopping him, because I've been working."
"Hm ... Kevin is like a savior angel" said Raima. "Have you forgotten that handsome mister?"
Elina's eyes cheered, then lowered her head while smiling bitterly. What made him forget Matthew? His vow was made, that he would continue to love the man.
"No. Until now my heart belongs only to him" he replied.
-;-;-;-
Her beautiful face, her smile .. it was indeed hers. But no, maybe it was just his hallucination because his head was dizzy. Elina had already left him, so that woman over there was not him.
Sure enough, after Matthew stared at the bench again, Elina's shadow disappeared. The attack of headaches was unbearable again, he rushed into the house and took medicine.
His gaze was distracted on his phone with the screen on - there was a message. He snorted, Karenina. She invited him to dinner at a French restaurant.
A stubborn woman. Repelled many times, still chasing. As a result of William's greed, Karenina is exposed to his persuasion poison. What else would I have to do to get Karenina away from him? Rumors that he is a man who likes to change women have been deliberately spread. But the woman remained unmoved and increasingly moved closer to him.
Okay if so. After his work is done, he will attend a dinner invitation with the girl tomorrow. I don't know what he'll do again, maybe wear a shirt with an open cleavage, which even makes him disgusted? If Elina were to wear it, of course she would be tempted and just carry it to the room.
Mind of ngaco again! How long will his shadow and fantasy of Elina end?
Matthew entered the restaurant with a somewhat disheveled appearance. Actually not intentional, because today he was too busy and did not have time to go home first. Moreover, he was already an hour late than the one agreed last night together with Karenina.
Before approaching the table, he thought the woman would sleepily wait for him, but it turned a bottle of wine into his friend. She smiled looking at him, when she realized his arrival. There is no look of tired and sleepy face framing.
Matthew noticed the style of Karenina's clothes tonight; not sexy, but a graceful and simple impression attached to the dress she wore and the makeup on. This is not Karenina style, this is typical Elina style.
He sneered, is Karenina trying to imitate Elina? Where else did he get that idea? No mistake, William!
She moved away her body, as Karenina was about to embrace her. The woman was surprised, then slowly backed away in disappointment. But it did not make him stupefied, he remained ordinary, allowing Matthew to sit down.
"What are you coming to Jakarta?"
Following up? Did the woman think that her arrival in Jakarta was because of her? Behind the glass of wine, he smiled sinisterly.
"There's certainly work. What do you think?"
Afraid that Matthew was offended, Karenina smiled faintly, choosing not to answer.
Now, it was Matthew's turn to ask, "Go ahead, what do you want to talk to me about? If it's about an arranged marriage, tell my papa: no!"
Karenina*** her lips, what she wanted to say was muted again, because that was exactly what she wanted to discuss.
"Can't you accept me?" he said slowly and softly.
Matthew moved the glass away from his lips. Whatisthis? She begs? Where is your pride of the princess? So easy to fall for love, to beg?
Karenina. That's humiliation? "So, who can? That matre woman!"
"Shut up! Don't call him that!"
Their loud voice made the eyes of the people around them fixed on them. But they don't care, Karenina retaliates, so it looks her true nature.
"It's been two years, Matthew. What makes it so hard to forget? She's not rich, not honorable, nor is she so pretty."
"Is that the standard you use to measure someone?" answer Matthew cynically. "You don't know anything, Karenina. You can't compare to her."
Matthew got up from the chair, and fixed the position of his suit. At the moment about to turn around, Karenina exclaimed:
"Then, say. What is it about her that makes you interested in her?"
Matthew just glanced, smiling scornfully. It didn't matter to the woman, even as Karenina was trying to chase after her. However, the curse of Karenina's heartache made her pause for a moment.
"Just find the woman. You'll never find him. Which woman would want to be the same cold and heartless man as you! Your whole life, you'll never be happy Matthew!"
Never been happy? That was his destiny. But the fur of his romance bristled, when the word ringed in his ears. Is it because the car AC is too cold, or is it raining heavily tonight?
Ah, no! What if it's true? Is he old enough to be single? And why is it getting so cold like this?
Matthew sidekicks, telling Gery to shrink the car's AC temperature with a huff. Because of the woman's oath, she got upset. And silly, he even believed in the oath.

"Sir, it's like the supermarket is downstairs," exclaimed Frasya excitedly, staring contentedly at her grocery bag full of books she wanted to buy from yesterday.
However, he stopped, when his brother did not speak his words. Then, he turned around, finding Elina in front of the baby clothes display.
The blue jacket is on display there which is being looked at by Elina. The jacket is for children aged about two years. If the child is born, it must be very fitting and handsome to wear by him.
Her eyes were hot, tears were flowing unnoticed. He gasped as Frasya exclaimed and patted him on the shoulder. The girl tried to look at her face which she had turned on while wiping away the remaining tears.
"Big brother why?"
"Ah, no. I just love to see that jacket."
Frasya glanced for a moment at the object displayed there. "Good one, anyway? But it must be expensive. Mending buy at a clothing store in the market, the price is twice as cheap, with the same quality."
Elina smiled at the babbling of her sister. He was already smarter about merchandise because he hung out with a shop maid girl in the market.
"Yuk, to the supermarket," she asked later.
They went down to the basement floor with an escalator. It was a very crowded Saturday. Lots of visitors. Frasya until grumbling because he had to wait in line for a long time at the cashier later.
"This is the list, you buy? Brother is going to the other shelf to buy the rest of the ingredients" said Elina. After that, they split up.
It wasn't that the rich-ass pretentious Elina worked at a large, high-paying company - but they were shopping there because there were materials not sold in the market. His mother is now not only a seller of rice but also making cakes. And again, Frasya wants to buy a book. Because today Elina came home quickly, then she picked up Frasya and immediately slid into this mall.
He stopped at a milk shelf. His hand was about to grab a big box of milk on the shelf, but it suddenly stopped because he felt something. His heart is racing. Whatisthis? He felt the presence of a person whose face was always stored in his mind and heart. He looked to the left and right, but his figure was absent.
Elina shook her head, assuming that it was just her feelings. Then, he pushed his shopping cart onto the next shelf.
Some things he had bought, only one more item, but not the need to make a cake. While pushing the grocery cart, he went around, but was nowhere to be found. Finally, he asked a servant.
Suddenly his heart beat again. Elina held onto her chest, anxious. The strong feeling that his figure was here, so close, so affordable. God, this isn't just a feeling, is it? The heartbeat is getting tighter, making it congested.
He saw the waiter was leaving. Finally, he tried to ignore the feeling, running towards the waiter who was about to walk. "Sorry, Ma'am. Where's the hair vitamin rack?"
"On the shelf over there, Ma'am." Show the waiter.
Elina walked slowly. His heart is still beating. But this time, he faintly heard her voice. He's aghast. It's not a hallucination, is it? Is today the time for the meeting of a pair of people whom God has outlined? Both of his eyes will shed more tears.
"Elina!" Although faint, the voice was clearly hers.
Intrigued, curious, and happy, Elina turned her head.[]
