Mathelina
Chapter 37's


The car's air conditioner has been taken down, Matthew is no longer in contact. The water that came down from the black clouds was getting heavier. Eyes closed.


In the rain, he proposes to Elina. A kiss is a sign that the woman is accepting her proposal and her love. Floating was like flying by the beautiful wings of hope.


The ringing sound of the phone made him instantly open his eyes. Without seeing the caller's number, Matthew placed his phone near his phone.


"Matt, are you still on the run?" Without saying "hello" Monika immediately charged him with questions.


"Hmm..," replied Matthew briefly, lazily. In this case, there is usually something.


Tuh, right, it's true. Monika tells him to buy a big can of milk for Justin. "I forgot to buy that." Now he's poring over, trying to persuade Matthew.


Matthew sighed. "All right."


"OKAY. You know what brand it is, right?"


"Yes." Yeah."


Monika said "thank you" cheerfully, then hung up on him. Her brother often troubled her, although he could not resist. For the sake of his nephew, he was forced to tell Mr. Rano to drive a car to the nearest supermarket.


Currently, there is only a mall close around this area. And Mr. Rano chose the mall as their destination, then dropped off his master in the not-so-high building.


Matthew walked casually downstairs so crowded by his mothers and children. That is not surprising, every month surely women will buy household necessities, such as milk.


Without having to ask, Matthew already knows where the milk shelf for toddlers is. The place is next to a milk rack for pregnant women, where it stands at the moment.


In the past, he was so excited when he bought a box of pregnant milk for Elina. He researched several brands of milk, to ask the best milk brand on the waiter. She smiled, finding a brand of milk, which would make Elina and her baby healthy if she drank it. He walked to the cashier, paid for it, and rushed home, so he could make some milk for Elina.


Milk with a white base box, there is a purple accent on the brand that all the letters are capitalized. Since then, a sad and heartbreaking look was fixed on that thing. Accompanied by flashbacks that sliced his increasingly sore heart.


He did not realize that fate was leading him. The much-loved woman was behind the shelf, looking for a box of milk to buy. His heart also helps him to show the direction his love is in. Such a strong feeling, made her feel the presence of Elina.


His heart is beating fast. Very unusual. Whatisthis? His mind went straight to Elina. However, all of that was hurriedly ignored. The most hallucination again. He murmured in his heart.


Although the feeling was still lingering in his mind, Matthew still walked to the baby milk rack curiously. In his tired breath, God tested him again. Maybe Elina is here. That woman must be in another city. For two years, no trace of Elina was found in Jakarta.


"Sorry, Ma'am. Where's the hair vitamin rack?"


Matthew looked over, stunned. The soft voice - though small - but very familiar in his ears. Elina, is that you?


The voice was no longer heard, but his heart was moved to move its feet toward the source of the sound. Beside the shelf for the needs of men, that's where the voice sounded.


He's almost there. But no one was found when he stood near the place. Matthew uncovers his bangs, frustrated. Even so, his hopes had not been dashed. He walked back to another place, and when despair struck, he exclaimed, "Elina!"


-;-;-;-


"Sister Elina!"


It turned out that the one who cried out was not 'he', but Frasya. The girl tiptoed up to him while carrying a shopping cart full of mother-ordered materials.


His face was instantly transformed from a face full of melancholy, into a face with a very bright smile.


"I've. Brother?" Frasya looked at Elina's shopping cart. It's all like. "Yep, pay to the cashier."


"But I'm going to buy some hair vitamins."


"Yes, already. I'll be in line at the cashier over there, okay?"


Elina nodded, after which Frasya pushed her shopping cart to the cashier.


Really queue! Frasya. Right now, he is in the back row. His hand clasped tightly onto the basket handle, sighing impatiently many times, while turning his gaze in the other direction.


Beside this cashier, the place is quite a lot. Only, that was not what made Frasya focus her attention on the cashier next door. A handsome bule man, who he thought was just Kevin was a bull guy who had alluring good looks. He was more handsome; in a cream suit, disheveled hair - which did not diminish his good looks - but when he saw his shopping, Frasya cursed ilfil. Baby milk?


Frasya looked at the sight, trivial. "Udah has a child apparently.


The girl who had the height of the equivalent of Elina did not know, that the man was the person whose sister was waiting for the most, whose name was always mentioned in every prayer, and dreamed of it.


The line of cashiers next door moved forward. Matthew was out of line, along with the arrival of Elina who approached Frasya. Maybe because of the impulse, Elina's eyes accidentally turned to the burly back of the beige suit that had moved away. The difference is, this time his belief is not in line with his heart. His mind had tired of following his instincts the presence of that man in this place.


Let alone. Whether he wants it or not, he will be patient. Her long pants are full. God will not deny his people and grant his prayers. One day, his longing will be shed in the arms of the man he loves.


-;-;-;-


"Crashing, Mom?"


The words that Elina and Frasya heard when she opened the door. They are shocked by the arrival of Raima, who has been sitting in the living room.


"Sir Raima!" frasya exclaimed hurried over to Raima, then Elina walked behind with a smile.


"When do you come?" Elina placed her groceries near Raima, who immediately grabbed her to just want to know the contents of the bags.


"From now on, maybe an hour? Uh, what did you buy the mothers? A lot like that?"


"No, just buy some cake. I have a cake order," said Elina.


"Well, then, Auntie made me a cake, huh?"


"That's great, sis, sis!" ledek Frasya laughed a little.


"Yes that way, there's the rest," Raima chuckled.


Mom takes Raima's joke seriously. "Yes, Auntie's gonna make it." And Raima's smile broke, and hugged the woman she had considered her mother.


The conversation continued with Frasya, who was so happy to buy some books she wanted. He showed me a white bag labeled with the name of a bookstore, consisting of a textbook and a romantic novel.


"When reading romance novels makes you dream of guys keep knowing!" chirp Raima, take the novel.


Frasya scowled as she snatched the novel from Raima's hands. The woman likes to tease Frasya who is sometimes childish and easily scourged.


"Belvin. You can fantasize. This life will not be in the story. Where there's a story of Cinderella meeting the prince ..." Suddenly Frasya remembered something. "Sir, I met a guy who looked like a prince. Her handsome, white skin, bule-like. But baby, I have a child."


Elina and Frasya chuckled. Then, Elina chimed in, "Emang knows where to have a child?"


From her characteristics Elina knew the brand of milk. Justin also drinks milk of the same brand.


"Keep, you know him?" ask Raima.


Frasya shook her head with a mouth filled with tea water. "No. Why, he's just standing at the cashier next door."


"Maybe he bought milk for his nephew or sister."


Frasya pressed both her shoulders. For him, it was no longer important to discuss. Then, he glanced at his dumbstruck brother thinking of something. The teenage mentality she had in action, she tried to shake her brother by patting him hard on the shoulder while cheering.


"Hayo, what daydream?"


"Ish, the Adek mah," complained Elina protesting. "No. There were other features you noticed from that guy?"


Frasya thought while patting her chin with her index finger. "He's tall .. more or less an inch from me, maybe. Keep .. ah, his eyes are blue!"


Elina clenched her hands. Right, that wasn't just a feeling, Matthew was in the supermarket! Is he in Jakarta now? He has to find out.


Without saying anything, Elina moved away from the living room at a quick pace. Not realizing that 6 pairs of eyes were astonished to see it.


Then, Frasya said, expressing his views on Elina's attitude for two years. "I don't understand, Brother Elina has changed completely since returning home two years ago."


This caught my mother's attention, let alone Raima's. Both of them looked at Frasya.


"She rarely smiles; once a smile, only a forced smile" Frasya continued. "He likes to look. Keep time at the orphanage - mom see no?- she cries while holding baby Eiliya."


"Who's Eiliya's baby?" ask Raima to interrupt.


"The newly dumped child in the orphanage." Frasya. "So too. He cried when he saw a jacket for children aged 2 years on display in the storefront."


Mom's expression turned anxious. When Elina cried holding the baby, the mother thought it was just a feeling of compassion for the baby. But after hearing Frasya's narration, conjectures emerged. What happened to the first child? Maybe something happened to him?


-;-;-;-


Elina locked the door to her room. In a hurry he looked for someone's contact number while walking towards the bed.


The phone was long-term. Thought of his watch, still at 7 p.m. Usually, the man was having lunch right now. Turn off the phone, then call back. He gasped when he heard the gentle and friendly greeting from the man.


"The chin!" cecar Elina direct. "Did you know Matthew was in Jakarta?"


On the other side was silent for a moment, and then again a voice appeared. "No. Did you meet him?"


"No." Her tone was bitter. "Frasya saw it. He doesn't know Matthew, but from the features of the man he mentioned, I'm sure it was Matthew."


"You must have misjudged...."


"No. I'm sure, my feeling is that it's Matthew," Elina persisted.


Elina waited, the person across there still did not answer.


"Maybe he was there." Kevin finally answered. "I'll let you know later if there's any news, okay?"


Elina was silent, no need to ask anymore because it was clear enough. He hung up and went back to the living room. It's just that, there's something else that makes him goosebumps.


His boss just sent him a message, that his boss is going to Bali with his wife, whether it's possible for a honeymoon to how much-it doesn't matter to Elina. So, the boss wants Elina to meet a businessman who will invest in her company.


But ... Is there a meeting in the hotel room? Elina was stunned when she read it. The more outrageous one, only he himself was there. Hii ... The fur of the romance stands. Not a ghost that he will face, but a man who does not know whether his behavior is good or not. She was afraid that she was as cruel as Prasetyo, om-om who wanted to rape her first.


How finished? It is not the fault of his mother and father who gave birth to him with a beautiful appearance, white skin, despite having a small body. All men adore her beautiful eyes and her pink little lips. Not infrequently many male employees like it. But luckily, she has a boss who is not flirtatious and loves family. So, he would not be harassed by that fat-bellied old man.


Remember, dress well! Said the boss, and Elina complied. After work was over, Monday night he went to the hotel referred by his boss. However, once he got the room key, Elina did not go straight in, pecking at the door of the room number 107.


Deja Vu again. Two years ago, he also pegged in front of the room, before meeting his Fate Lord inside. The same hotel, and the same room number, all the bitter, sweet, sad love stories started here. Will there be another fate to come this time? Not likely. A coincidence won't happen that often.


Elina sighed, her optimism and absurd delusion she put away. Now Elina, grab that doorknob, and get inside the room!


"Hello," exclaimed Elina softly as she looked inside. Silent, silent, no one. There may be no one, but the person is deliberately hiding or .. hush! Elina dispels that prejudice. Stay focused Elina! He murmured in his heart.


With a slow and careful step, Elina went even deeper inside. His breathing was held back because he was too tense and nervous. However, he heaved a sigh of relief, when he saw the bed in an empty state.


Near this spacious room - perhaps more than 20 people could sleep here - there was a long sofa and two single sofas near the bed. Elina chose a seat on the single sofa that was slightly reddish orange in color.


Did the businessman show up? Elina glanced at her watch, it had been about 10 minutes she was waiting here. Elina meggerutu, what kind of businessman ngaret like this? His boss is seriously going to bring him up with the businessman? Actually Elina was suspicious, maybe she got bullied, or her boss was wrong? Where the boss did not tell the name of the businessman.


Elina leaned her body against the back of the sofa while sighing. Sabarin was once, huh? If that businessman doesn't come in 30 minutes, Elina will leave this place.


"Okay," sighed Elina, grabbing a file she placed on the table. "Wait a minute, better learn the file first."


His waiting was not in vain. In less than half an hour, the sound of knocking on the door was heard. Elina smiled, then hurriedly cleaned up the files, before approaching the door and opening it.


His mouth will be open to talk. However, he was stunned and his smile faded away, once he saw someone appearing behind this door.


He came with a body that was hard to uphold, eyes half open, and a mouth that smelled of alcohol. The man loosened his tie, then looked up, looking at someone who opened the door for him.


Her lips revealed a cynical smile. "Stop appearing in front of me! I'm tired of being overshadowed by you!" the glitch.


If Elina could say: "I am also tired of being able to only shadow you, long for your presence, and cry for you. But I'm not tired of waiting for you and loving you, Matthew."


Elina could not hold back her tears. His prayer was answered by God. This meeting happened, albeit in a rather strange way and circumstances. Really, he feels very happy.


Matthew shook his hand, staggered inward until he almost fell. Fortunately, Elina was still in front of him, Matthew's body falling in the warm embrace of the body he so desperately missed.


"You're not a shadow, are you?" muttered Matthew, his voice hoarse.


Sobbing softly, Elina replied, "No. I am Elina."


Matthew let go of his embrace, looking at Elina's face. Both of his hands held his face, scrutinizing each of his facial lines with his fingers, soft, until the touch ended on his lips. Without asking permission from the owner, Matthew kissed the lips.


Elina's shock was only fleeting. As the longing exploded in his heart, he let the man do as he pleased. Elina also dissolved, closed her eyes, then wrapped her hands around Matthew's neck.[]
