Mathelina
Chapter 45's

Elina looked at the woman who was walking beside her. Never thought that the woman he used to call "Mistress", now he called her "Sister". It's nothing, but Monika is forcing.

He said: "Because you're getting married to my sister, so you have to call me 'sister' okay! Got to!" Elina only grinned when she heard it.

Their steps stopped at a boutique that became a subscription place Monika. The first day was her schedule they ordered a wedding dress.

Since the day of the proposal, Monika has volunteered to take care of all the wedding preparations. What a intention! In the afternoon, to coincide with Elina's exit from the office, Monika picks her up, along with Justin, who is currently carrying Elina.

"The dress is very important for weddings. So, we pick the dress first, okay!" cetusya.

Elina just smiled and complied.

A servant greeted them, especially to Monika who was very familiar to him. "Want to buy a wedding dress?" he asked, after Monika explained her arrival here. "Alright, please come with me."

The waiter took them to a room with many beautiful wedding dresses. Not only white, there are also various types of dress colors, which are combined with accessories, and stunning designs. Elina was immediately fascinated to see rows of dresses displayed in this room.

"Sir, please carry Justin," Monika called her babysitter. "here, Elina. We'll see that dress in the corner."

After Justin changes hands from Elina to the nanny, he walks after Monika, where a dress is displayed in a special display case.

"Where do you think?" ask Monika. "My friend who owned this boutique, when we were studying in the Netherlands. I used to ask her to make me a dress, but the dress I asked her to design didn't make me wear."

Since Monika is not married to her loved ones, that is the reason that Elina concluded. What does this have to do with Elina? Is she gonna wear this dress?

The waiter came along with the woman Monika told him about earlier. Anastasia Evangelista, a world-renowned designer who looks beautiful and humble. Of course, Elina knew him on television. It was great to meet him. Moreover, he was his close friend Monika.

"Anas" said Monika as she approached the woman, then hugged her. "How are you? Where's Bella?"

"My news is good, and so is Bella. He's home now." His smile slowly faded away in an instant, as soon as he saw the figure of the woman standing behind Monika. "Who is he, Monik?"

Monika sighed Anastasia before Elina. "Wife candidate Matthew. Elina, this is Anastasia, my friend from college in the Netherlands."

Elina shook Anastasia's hand. Well, he's very friendly, as reported.

"Monik, Matthew's smart also looking for a wife. She's beautiful" Anastasia praised with a small laugh. "Hmm .. So, you came here to give me an invitation?"

"No. You don't need an invitation, just come to their wedding. I'm here to buy your dress" said Monika.

"Pick the dress you like." Anastasia turned her attention to Elina, and guided her to a dress on display in her left corner. "Do you like this?"

A white dress with an open shoulder, made of a very fine fabric as Elina held onto it. The impression is elegant, with trinkets made of red rubies, which adorn the dress.

Beautiful, but Monika is as disagreeable as Elina. "The one wearing it was a very simple special girl. Elina must be uncomfortable wearing it."

Without nodding, Elina confirmed the remark.

"Can you show me a dress that suits her personality?" said Monika again. "I saw the dress you made for me. What if that's it?"

"Yes, but that dress is for you."

"Indeed. But I don't want it anymore. Let's just say, it was a gift from me to my sister-in-law." As Monika said that, she glanced at Elina.

Anastasia finally agreed. Then, she asks Elina to take off her dress in the dressing room. When he came out, everyone was stunned, even Monika took a picture of him and sent it to Matthew's mobile number.

"No beauty?" write a caption under the photo.

Matthew, who was at lunch, immediately read the picture message sent by Monika. He smiled and replied to her message.

"Pretty people." But then, he sent another message. "The dress is beautiful too."

Monika chuckles to read her sister's message, until Anastasia is curious and asks:

"Why? Is something funny?"

"Yes, there was a WhatsApp message that came in" Monika replied, after her laughter had subsided.

"So, what do you think?"

Monika noticed for a moment. It seems, the size is a bit oversized and prolonged. It was because Anastasia was wearing Monika's body size while sewing the dress.

"Candles are a little bit the size of her waist, continue to shorten her dress according to Elina's height," she said.

Anastasia understood and immediately ordered her employees to keep the dress. Monika sees Elina walking towards one of the dresses, as Anastasia discourages her from being taken to the sofa in front of this room.

"Elin, just look around. I was with my friends talking outside" he said.

Elina was stunned and looked over. "Ah, yes, Brother." Then, Elina looked at the dress on display.

Her hand held the dress, so delicate and beautiful. The design is not simple, but these dresses are made with expensive fabrics. Besides, the design is amazing. It is not wrong if many people buy dresses here, no matter how much money must be spent though.

Elina was stunned as her phone rang - a message came in. His eyes were round and received some messages from his lover who was far away. A photo showing her wearing a dress chosen by Monika. Underneath her was her caption: "I can't wait to have this whole most beautiful woman." Then, there's an emoticon of people kissing.

Elina smiled as she closed her mouth. A single tear piled up in the corner of his eye. Then, he also replied.

"Yes, I can't wait to marry you either."

Shortly after, a reply from Matthew came in. "just so? You're not romantic."

While muttering little, Elina typed her reply. "Belvin. I'm not as good at being together as you."

Elina walked again towards the other dress while intermittently checking her phone. How come there is no reply? It's been almost 10 minutes. Maybe Matthew's busy? But, just going to keep his phone in the bag, there is a new message coming in.

"What I said was that everything came from

Elina's heart immediately melted like a melting iceberg exposed to the warm sunlight. He believes that it is not just a word, he has proven the warmth of Matthew's love so far.

As she said earlier, Elina could not fight, but she would still retaliate as she had in her heart, with her eyes flooded with tears.

"I Love you, my only one."

-;-;-;-

Elina directly leaned back on the sofa while sighing. Tired! Go to the boutique, eat and chat, then take a walk to the mall.

"Tomorrow what else?"

Frasya came over, then sat down next to him with a smile. On the pat of her brother's thigh, until Elina turned to him.

"Why, Brother?"

"Snap. Pijitin dong," said Elina.

"Have a son! I'm tired too."

"Capek what?"

"Learn. I want the semester to know!"

Then, they were silent for a moment, until Frasya asked what she had done today.

"Buy the wedding dress, eat, go for a walk, that's it," replied Elina.

"Then tomorrow?"

"Select invitation cards, souvenirs...."

If you imagine all the preparations, make him tired. For a week, he would dwell on the activity. But he thought, at least all of it will be paid with happiness with his love. He suddenly gasped, remembering something.

Oh, aye! There's a prewedding photo shoot the day after tomorrow! Is Matthew going to Jakarta in time?

Then, he checked his phone. His fingers quickly typed a message for Matthew. However, those fingers slowly stopped. A few seconds later, the phone was placed on the table.

Frasya looked at him in wonder. Elina was visibly restless and in a hurry to tinker with her phone. Now, he fell silent and leaned back on the sofa again?

"Why, Brother," he asked, both of his eyebrows rose.

"Nothing is." Elina stood up, picked up her bag and cell phone, and moved into the room. "Sleep first, huh?"

Plunged his body into the bed, after entering the room. Handbags and cell phones were placed on a nightstand, before placing her black high heels in a small closet containing a wide variety of shoes.

Makeup has not been cleaned, clothes have not been replaced, and have not cleaned the body, but he was asleep first. His already heavy eyes betrayed his rules that he had been implementing in his life.

He wasn't going to be woken up by anything unless there was a disaster and the sound of Mom's calling. But his eyes immediately dodged, hearing the sound of the notification ringtone.

Whether because their hearts had fused together, Elina was awakened by an incoming message from Matthew. His smile was broken, even though his eyes were half clenched.

"I just wanted to say good night. I hope you read it, it's fine if it's not reciprocated though. Good night, my love."

The phone was placed, and Elina lay down with a happy smile. Maybe tonight, he'll have a good dream."

-;-;-;-

Retro studio photo's. It was written on the WhatsApp message, which was sent by Monika. The woman did not come because she had to accompany Justin to the hospital. The boy has a fever.

Because of the promise she made in the morning, Elina was forced to leave the office, and went alone to the photo studio.

But the problem is... when he photographed alone anyway? The prewedding photos are the same couple, while Matthew has not come.

Elina turned around, not so continuing her steps towards the entrance of the studio. He tried to contact Monika, who was connected on the third call.

"Hello, Brother. The shooting schedule's been postponed, huh?"

"Lho, why?" monika replied sounding astonished.

"Well, Matthew hasn't come home yet. I can't take pictures alone."

Elina did not hear that there was a sound of steps approaching her. As soon as Monika answered again, Elina felt her shoulder being patted. Automatic Elina turned her head, Monika's speech on the phone was not listened to completely.

"Let's talk again, brother?" close Elina.

His gaze returned towards the man who had hurt him many years ago. The man was carrying a camera in his hand, smiling crisply at him as if forgetting the past, looking at him with a stunned look.

"Hey, Elina. How are you?" he said so friendly.

More than two years have passed, the pain should be forgotten. Moreover, now Elina had someone who made her smile, and would make her happy. It is time to forgive this man.

Elina smiled. "Good news. How are you, Austin?"

Austin spread his hand. "As you can see? Oh yeah, what are you doing here?"

"I...."

"Of course you want to do a prewedding photo" said someone behind Elina.

Both of them looked towards the voice. Elina smiled to see that Matthew had returned to Jakarta. It's a surprise! The man walked towards Elina, stood beside her and grabbed her shoulders.[]
