Mathelina
chapter 44's

Elina walked slowly, then stopped a few meters from the dining table. Watching Mother and Frasya from afar in silence.

He was sad to have to be like this; feeling alienated, even though I still want to put rice on his plate. However, Frasya was too disappointed in him, so even looking at him would not. And walk like that for two days.

Elina lives like a robot that can be arranged. A cheerful smile is always seen in front of his coworkers, but it cannot be hidden from his lover.

Matthew knew that smile was fake. Forcibly refreshed himself, even though his mind was in pain.

"Stop it," Matthew said, approaching Elina after the meeting was over.

"What, Honey?" elina asked, trying to smile. His view is distorted on the files he is tidying up.

Matthew grabbed Elina's chin, softly pleading for her face to be sidetracked at him. Elina forced herself to smile.

"Are Mom and Frasya still angry?"

Elina was silent for a moment. The question made his heart feel sorry. He answered while turning his eyes back to the pile of paper.

He was closed, tears coming out of the corner of his eye. His fortitude was shaken by the warm embrace of Matthew. Her burly hands wrapped around her waist, closing her body to Elina.

"We're going to face all this."

The whisper was very gentle, but it gave strength to Elina.

"I think we need to talk to Mom and Frasya about the truth" Matthew said. "The problem will not be solved, if it continues to drag on like this alone. Don't we want to get married, honey?"

Elina nodded, blushing.

Then, Matthew turned Elina's body before him. "So, don't force your fake smile again. I can't be lied to." Matthew touched the tip of Elina's nose, and hugged her back. "If you're sad, cry. My chest and shirt are ready to be moistened by your tears."

Instead of being moved, Elina let out a small laugh. Matthew, since when is it so good to be funny? The days of Elina so do not feel heavy because of her words that sometimes invite a tingly smile on her lips. It's a sweetener in our relationships, the man said.

Yes, Matthew. His love and your love are tighter because there is a sweetness of globality and the bitterness of trials. A bitterness can be overcome if we understand each other and are open. Elina is happy to find Matthew in her life. Although love has a steep cliff edge, which must be passed in order for them to reach the coveted "happy ending.

-;-;-;-

Elina***the end of her skirt while glancing at Matthew. The tense atmosphere filled the living room which was 3x3 meters wide, along with Mother and Frasya.

Matthew feels 3 days is enough time to calm down for Mom and Frasya. Now, it's time for Matthew and Elina to explain the real situation, and then get it over with.

"Mother, please give us a chance to explain the mistakes we made in the past" he said calmly and carefully.

Frasya turned her head annoyed in the other direction, as if she did not want to hear any more of their words. Mostly just an excuse. The most lies that are told. He murmured in his heart.

Mother could understand the expression Frasya was showing, but she just silenced it. His attention now centered on the two people before him. He saw that they were very serious about this relationship. They love each other.

Raima once said that Elina had been proposed by Matthew. Perhaps, by solving the problem that had heated up a few days ago, they could carry out a marriage that had been planned for a long time.

"alright. Explain everything."

Matthew and Elina smiled. Knowing that Elina could not tell it, Matthew explained the story of the beginning of his meeting with Elina, Elina's pregnancy, until the death of Elina's womb.

As she spoke, Elina's tears flowed while tightly grasping her hands. The journey so heavy and bitter, losing a gift that he was waiting for with Matthew made his tears unstoppable.

Frasya and I were surprised and understood. Elina was wrong, but a cruel fate led Elina to commit the error. Mother's tears fell on her eyes, as did Frasya who felt guilty for staying away from her.

"I'm sorry, Mother, Yes," said Elina, looking down, after Matthew had finished his story. "I have broken my principles, there is no other choice. And I was so desperate at that."

Mother approached Elina who continued to apologize while crying. He hugged the firstborn with wet eyes. He understood Elina's choice, even though he knew it was wrong. Frasya, who was also in this mood, approached Elina and hugged her.

Matthew's smile grew. Their happiness finally returned. Remain happy with Elina, which she will convey after their cries subside.

"Mother," called Matthew, making the three women turn to him. "I want to say something."

Frasya smiled mischievously. "Definitely ask permission to be alone with Elina, right?" Then, he grimaced as Elina nudged his arm.

"Not Frasya," Matthew replied, chuckling. "I'm going to propose to Elina officially."

Officially? Then, Matthew's parents will come to the house? What made Frasya and Mother as surprised as Elina was, her application day was tomorrow afternoon!

"Are you in a hurry?" ask Elina, I doubt.

"No. Because I'm going to London the day after tomorrow, so I don't want to put it off again. After I returned to Jakarta, the marriage was immediately carried out," replied Matthew steadily.

Mom and Frasya smiled. Of course, that's a good idea. So, Mother agreed to the plan, and began to prepare it together with Frasya.

This conversation is over. Now, it's time for the happy couple together. Mother pulled Frasya's arm, telling her to go to the room. However, Matthew and Elina chose to sit on the terrace, enjoying the smell of petrikhor after a light rain that fell for a moment.

Destiny is weird. No one can guess what our life will be like. Elina, who thought that pregnancy was the worst thing in her life, made her find true happiness, which she thought was impossible.

Her true happiness was behind her, hugging her from behind. The man tightened his body, propping his chin on Elina's shoulders. Her soft voice shook her heart.

"You happy?"

"Hmmm...." Unknowingly Elina nodded with a smile. "Very."

Matthew tightened his embrace.

"Oh, yes. Why are you going to London more often now?" elina asked, after realizing something.

"Why? Are you jealous that I'll be approached by a lot of beautiful women over there?" Matthew deliberately teases Elina and irritates her. And it turns out, it worked!

"No, no."

"Oh, I know." Then, Matthew whispered. "You're going to be tormented by missing me, right?"

Elina looked down, her cheeks met with red. "It wasn't me, you're the one who must have missed me so much."

Matthew chuckles. This woman still did not want to confess either. Although Matthew's self-esteem was high, but in front of this woman he would not be ashamed to pour out whatever was in his heart.

Let go of her embrace, then twisted Elina's body before her. Both of her big hands touched Elina's cheeks, looking at her softly and lovingly.

"I won't deny it" he said. Then, he kissed the head of Elina. "I'll miss the fragrance and smoothness of your black hair. Then," now, the kiss leads to the forehead. "This is also."

Subsequently, Matthew dipped the tip of his nose, straight down to both of his cheeks, and of course the last, to his very coveted lips. He smiled, as his thumb stroked the woman's lips, then kissed her gently. So sweet, so fun. A kiss that will continue to remember and miss him for 3 days his male figure is not beside him.

But it's nothing. All that longing will pay off later. Tomorrow is the day they bind themselves as prospective spouses. Goddess and Monika will come to the house, along with Matthew.

Elina's heart beats unruffled. Since last night, when Matthew came home after their warm kiss, he could not sleep because he was pounding too much waiting for tomorrow. His heart is very happy. His heart is so flowery. His delusion soared, imagining how the application event took place. Therefore, his eyes were hard to close. Though, he had been lying down for quite a while, enveloping his body with a blanket patterned in cherry blossoms.

Enough already! Reproach Elina in the heart, to yourself while dispelling her increasingly distant fantasies. Tomorrow is the day, and she has to sleep enough to look beautiful. So, he covered his face with a blanket, until he fell asleep at last.

-;-;-;-

It's a busy day now. Both Elina, Mother, and Frasya had woken up early to prepare for this proposal event. They cook, buy cakes, and so on.

Elina tells Raima about the proposal. And he immediately rolled into his house, ready to help if there was anything he had to do, including make up Elina.

"Lo want to wear that shirt? There's nothing else?" raima comments, when Elina shows a green toska dress.

"If this one?"elina asked, taking out a yellow dress.

Raima got up from her seat, walking towards Elina's wardrobe. After looking at the collection of Elina clothes, then she grabbed a dress limited to salem-colored hanky.

"Where about this one?"

Elina has white skin that fits in any color outfit. Raima really likes when Elina wears pink with various models. And according to Elina Raima's choice was good as well, so she rushed to wear it. After which, Raima dragged Elina to the front of the ornamental table.

"Today, I will make you as beautiful as possible, until Matthew does not want to turn away from you" said Raima.

Dewi, Monika, Matthew, and her three best friends, come at 3pm, bringing some cakes and gifts for the future son-in-law of the Jonathan family. Frasya and Mother rushed out, welcoming the family and letting them into the living room.

"Where's elina?" ask the Goddess to Elina's mother.

Unasked, Frasya rushed into Elina's room. He returned to the living room together with Elina and Raima.

The Goddess and Monika turned their heads, as did Matthew. It seems that Raima is not just saying nonsense, her makeup does make Matthew's eyes can not be separated from Elina.

Elina slightly blushed as well as was stunned at Matthew's performance today. The blue shirt he wore was so fitting and he looked even more handsome.

Monika looked at them while smiling amusedly. "Of course, can't wait? Start the show, Ma."

Supposedly, the one who submitted the proposal was William, as his father Matthew. But since William was not present, and they also already knew the true matter regarding the man, it was the Goddess who represented.

"Mother Sri, our arrival here is to propose to Elina," Dewi began. "As we know, Matthew and Elina are already in love with each other. So, may you bless their relationship to take it a step more seriously."

Mother glanced at Elina who looked down with a heart that was so pounding. Their relationship has long been intertwined, through various obstacles, and a painful breakup. Of course, it is possible for a mother to separate her child from loved ones and make her happy.

"Yes, Goddess Mother. I accepted this proposal," Mother said with a smile.

Frasya and Raima immediately hugged Elina while congratulating her. Monika also congratulated him and Matthew. So did Kevin, Fritz, and Frans, who greeted and embraced Matthew.

Matthew and Elina looked at each other with happy smiles. Eventually, soon they will become a married couple, which, according to the Goddess, will be planned next week.[]
