Suddenly a Young Miss
MATTHEW BUSINESS (2)

Melody was still sitting in the waiting room of the city airport, when Matthew who had left for a while had come back to Melody again.

"You hungry, Mel?" Matthew asked as he opened the plastic package in his hand and took out various types of cakes from inside.

"Look! There are your favorite avocado brownies," Matthew said again as he opened a thinwall containing avocado brownies, then thrust it on the still Melody.

"Come, you gotta eat!" Matthew said a little bit to force Melody.

"I'm full" Melody replied softly.

"You haven't eaten anything since. I'm a bribe, yeah!" Persuade Matthew again who starts scooping brownies inside the thinwall, then thrusting them in front of Melody's mouth.

"Ak! Open mouth!" It was Matthew's gentle word that finally made Melody give up and open her mouth.

"I'll eat alone!" Pinta Melody takes over thinwall from Matthew. The woman started scooping her own brownies. Matthew ate the other cake he had bought.

Just as Melody and Matthew were about to finish their cake, a departure call for the passengers of the plane finally sounded from the loudspeakers.

"Be careful!" Matthew was quick to guide Melody who was about to stand up, but was quickly rejected by his wife.

"I can do it myself,"

"All right! Be careful!" Matthew finally said that didn't help Melody. Matthew followed Melody to the departure terminal.

The sky had turned dark, when Matthew and Melody trieda at Bu Ayana's house. The house is still small, only now it looks neater and nice because it has been renovated in some parts.

"Why come these nights?" Ask Bu Ayana while hugging Melody.

"Melosy misses mother. Isn't this Melody's house?" Melody replied which immediately made Bu Ayana comment on the smile.

"Of course this is your house, Claudia's house too."

"Claudia's here too, ma'am?" Melody asked a little worried.

"No! He and Aaron visited last week and stayed only one night. He said because there is work in this city. The work is done, they go home" Bu Ayana told me at length.

"You yourself? Does Matthew have a job here, too?" Bu Ayana asked next and Melody immediately shook her head.

"Mel misses mom and will probably stay here a little while" Melody replied, embracing Bu Ayana.

"Son Matthew's staying over too?"

"No seeming. Don't know. He said he was just dropping off" Melody replied indifferently.

"Why is that? If Matthew's son comes home, you should come home, Mel!"

"But Mel still misses mom," Melody whines spoiled.

"Snaking a week is not long either. Later Melody will talk to Matthew," said Melody again who still hasn't stopped struggling with Bu Ayana.

"Yes, yes! Just a week. Did you eat that?" Ask Bu Ayana next.

"What's mom cooking?" Melody asked back.

"Tumis. But what's Matthew's son doyan, huh?" Ms. Ayana looks doubtful.

"If you don't want to fast and don't eat" Melody replied.

"You eat there first! Don't ignore it that way!" Bu Ayana's advice while pointing to Matthew who just sat quietly alone on the terrace since.

Melody scowled, but the woman continued to approach Matthew and offered him to eat.

"Matt," called Melody a little awkwardly. It has been a few months married though, but calling his name is still awkward.

"Yes. You need anything?" Matthew asked gently to Melody who immediately shook her head.

"You want to eat? But I said there was only vegetable bitter."

"What's that creep?" Matthew asked as he scrunched his eyebrows together.

"You can look at the kitchen first" said Melody pointing to the kitchen and slightly misbehaving.

Matthew just nodded and immediately followed Melody's steps towards the simple kitchen in Bu Ayana's house.

Matthew was already sitting on the chair on the edge of the dining table, as Melody opened the hood and showed Matthew a stir-fry.

"Please tasting first. Later if you do not want to you can buy other foods or make instant noodles," said Melody while giving a tablespoon to Matthew.

Matthew scooped a little stir-fry bitter melon in the bowl and tasted it, when then the man was seen grimacing. Seems bitterness. Melody covered her mouth with a palm and slightly held back a laugh seeing Matthew's strange expression.

"It feels so bitter?" Asked Matthew who again scooped the stir-fried bitter melon from the bowl.

"Not yet."

"But this is delicious even though it is bitter," Matthew said again as the mangosteen.

"This is my rice?" Matthew asked who had suddenly shifted Melody's rice in front of him.

"Eh, that's my nose" Melody murmured as Matthew poured a few spoonfuls of bitter melon over the rice.

"Ouch! Sorry-"

"Oh, it's okay! I take the rice again" said Melody quickly as she took another plate, then filled it with rice.

"What do you want to drink?" Melody asked Matthew who had started eating.

"What's it?"

"White water, tea, coffee." Melody mentioned the choice of drinks in Bu Ayana's kitchen.

"White water only. Is there a cold one?"

"Mom doesn't have a refrigerator" Melody replied grimacingly.

"Oh, yes, I have. The usual," said the final Matthew and Melody only nodded. Melody continued to get a glass of water for Matthew.

"Sit here!" Tell Matthew to pat the empty space on the long wooden bench next to him. Melody minutes and sits next to Matthew. The couple continued to enjoy their simple dinner.

Exactly at ten o'clock in the night, Matthew finally followed into Melody's room which was not half of Matthew's room.

"Not slept?" Greet Matthew to Melody who was still sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard.

"Can't sleep" Melody replied softly.

"Why? Nausea again?" Matthew asked which instantly made Melody shake her head.

Matthew climbed onto the bed and sat facing Melody.

"You want something?" Matthew asked again and Melody shook her head again.

"Just sleep if you're sleepy. What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Where to?" Matthew scrunched his eyebrows together.

"To your house."

"Indeed, is your show done? Do you want to come back tomorrow?" Matthew asked back which of course even made Melody follow confused.

"I'm still here until next week. But you have to go back, work, to the office. You're a busy man" Melody laughed stiffly.

"My work can be done from here" Matthew replied casually.

"After all, it's my duty to always be by your side and look after you"

"I can take care of myself!" Sergey Melody cut Matthew's sentence.

"Alright, it's my duty to always take care of my future children" said Matthew whose hand had suddenly been stretched out to rub Melody's stomach. The woman was a little shocked, but not a bit jerked Matthew's hand.

"Has he moved?" Matthew asked next as he stared fixedly at Melody's face.

"Sometimes."

Matthew smiled broadly,

"I was curious about his movements" Matthew said again as Melody suddenly pulled out a blanket to cover her stomach. Matthew, who seemed self-conscious, immediately put his hand away from the top of Melody's stomach.

"I'm already sleepy. I slept first," said Melody as she covered the blanket to the neck, then turned her back to Matthew.

"Yes, good night, Melody!" Ucao Matthew was sincere even though there was no answer at all from Melody. Matthew only commented a faint smile and finally lay down and closed his eyes.
