Mathelina
Chapter 21's

Damn it!

Brak! Matthew broke down the door of a room. A man looked up, jumped at the sudden arrival of his sister-in-law to his office. Then, Matthew approached him as fast as lightning.

"Matthew, there's ap...."

Without even finishing his words, Matthew clasped his collar. The man glared, looking at Matthew's angry eyes. Not knowing what was wrong, Matthew had thrown a fist into his face until it toppled.

Matthew approached with a roaring expression, and the man inched back in fear while looking at him. Matthew lifted his body and returned to beat mercilessly, though the man begged many times.

His screams were heard outside the room. A few people came, stayed away from Matthew from the man, and held him.

"What are you doing, Matthew? Why did you hit me?" ask the man.

Matthew snorted, then thrashed. "Let go! Let me hit him again, so he can remember his mistake!"

The man named Dimas frowned, but did not respond. As Matthew continued to wrangle, one of the guards threatened to report him to the police.

"Police? Wonderful idea. Let's just get the kidnapper there!" satir Matthew pointed at Dimas.

The kidnappers? Dimas himself did not understand what he meant. But soon, he realized something. Matthew has learned that he is the mastermind who took Justin from Jonathan's family villa.

-;-;-;-

Elina was stunned and stopped stepping, Matthew's disheveled state. Tangled hair, loosened ties, and rolled up sleeves of the shirt, as well as a man with a battered face sitting beside him.

Not long after the taxi dropped him off and Justin at Dewi's house, Bi Jumi got a call from the police station. Beside him, Dewi, worried about listening, then snatched Justin from Elina's sling.

"What's up, Madam?"

"So, the police said Matthew was arrested for beating Dimas," Dewi replied rather quivering.

The beating? The man couldn't huh, hold back his anger? Elina took the initiative to go to the police station, and she advised Dewi to stay home, because her health condition was still not restored.

Elina rushed to run, as if forgetting that there was a fetus in her stomach, looking for a taxi to ride. A blue taxi approached, and he jumped in and said his destination.

When he got there, this was what he saw. Elina slowly walked over. Matthew looked at her until the woman stood beside him.

"Where's Justin?" ask Matthew. Hearing his name being called, Dimas turned his head and put up an ear.

"Home home with her grandmother" replied Elina.

Good though. Matthew was relieved to hear it. Now, it's time to deal with this guy. He glanced sharply at Dimas, until the man shuddered and lowered his head. The police turned their attention to the woman in the blue nanny uniform who was next to Matthew.

"You who?"

"Elina, Sir. Nanny of her nephew, Mr. Matthew, replied Elina.

"Where's the family? Why are you coming?"

"Look, Mr. Matthew's mother is unwell, and his sister, Mrs Monika, is on her way."

"alright. Please sit there." The policeman pointed out a row of seats that were a little far from Matthew. And Elina sat there.

The police attention was back on Matthew and Dimas. Then a question was directed toward Matthew. "Why did you hit Mr. Dimas?"

As if this heart was burned by the heat of demonic incitement, Matthew glanced at Dimas, wrathful. "He kidnapped my nephew."

"If that's the case, you shouldn't act like a vigilante."

The vigilante? Matthew snorted while turning his face. He knew this country very well; such things often happen. So, why is he forbidden to punish this bastard.

"And you, Mr. Dimas." The police looked at Dimas. "Why did you kidnap Mr Matthew's nephew?"

Dimas was silent for a long time. Subject withered, wailing sadly. All because of this love. Love for the blood of his flesh that he waited for 9 months in the womb of Monika. Misses her laughter, hugs, and babbles while calling her "Papa".

"Mr Dimas?" police reprimand catapulted his mind. He was surprised to see a drop of tears running down Dimas' cheek.

Dimas wiped his tears. "That child is my son" he answered softly.

The policeman distanced his body, leaning against the chair with a sigh. What kind of case is this? He murmured in his heart. The world is really strange.

But Matthew snorted. "Your son? You're the one who doesn't become a husband, which deserves to be called a father."

Dimas got up from the chair, ignited his anger. "You don't know anything, Matthew!"

Matthew also stood up, clutching Dimas' collar. The shocked policeman stood up, and Elina also walked over to Matthew.

"What don't I know, huh? My sister got home with a face full of bruises and crying. It was the result of your actions!"

Matthew's left hand raised, about to hit. But Elina held his arm. Matthew turned his head, and Elina shook her head with a pleading gaze.

If not for the sake of Elina, Dimas's life would have already floated in this place and this very second. Because at any time, his actions to his brother and Justin will never be forgiven.

The two men sat back down. Just then, Monika entered the room in a hurry. However, he pecked at Dimas, who was also staring at him, since his presence.

Since there was already Monika, Elina decided to come out. The air in this place is very stifling. There is no scent of peace, there is conflict and anger to point the finger at each other.

Elina was about to get out of the chair; but a middle-aged, fat and short, modestly dressed woman stood in the doorway. Seemed restless, many times pacing there, and hesitant to go inside.

He finally approached the woman, who was standing behind him. "Mother—" called her, touching the woman's shoulder.

The woman turned her head, nervously looking at Elina. If seen, there is something doubt stored, whether that's what.

"Whose mother? Why don't you just go inside?"

The woman looked down. His fingers moved uneasily, weighing something. The beautiful woman who was in front of him .. is it to be trusted? My God, he was very confused, while something he wanted to say kept urging him to talk.

"Do you know Mr. Dimas?" elina asked fishing, and the woman managed to look up at her.

"Eneng knows Mr Dimas?"

The woman was speechless, looking down while*** her lips. Perhaps his doubts were cleared, so he went back to saying, "I'm Aunt Onah, Mr. Dimas' assistant."

Huh huh? "Help Mr Dimas?"

-;-;-;-

This case finally Monika who solved. Matthew asked him to go home and rest first, Monika would follow.

Matthew limped into the police station grounds. The sun has slipped, replaced by the moon. He realized there was someone he had forgotten for a moment. Elina.

Then he called the woman's phone. Suddenly the sound of a phone ringing was heard behind him. He looked around, seeing Elina showing his phone.

"I'm here" said Elina, then walked up to him.

"Where were you from?" matthew asked, worried.

Elina glanced down, thinking of something. "Matthew, there's something I want to talk about."

Matthew tilted his head slightly. "What about?"

"Later I'll tell you. Better, we find a comfortable place to talk."

A comfortable place. The only thing he knew was inside the room. Unfortunately, Matthew did not dare to joke like that to Elina. Since it was late and dinner time had come in, Matthew drove his car to a restaurant.

A lot of food has been ordered. Elina looked astonished to see their table that looked more like a buffet table. Is this guy really that bad? What celebration is there?

"Eat," said Matthew spread out his right hand.

Elina stroked his forehead. "But this is too much, Matthew."

"No. Since the matter is almost over, Justin has also been found, so we need to celebrate" Matthew said, putting a meat steak on Elina's plate. "After all, a pregnant woman needs to eat a lot. I don't want my son to be born with less weight."

Elina looked at the meat. Really this? Mood Matthew is doing well at the moment, but what he will talk about will affect his mood. Now that he was in doubt, what did that need to be discussed?

"So," said Matthew, grabbing a spoon, going to eat chicken cream soup, "what do you want to say."

Already set, it needs to be discussed right now. "Someone who claimed to be Mr. Dimas' maid, said something to me."

Don't we? The man's eyes looked dislike. He put his spoon into the bowl, staring at Elina coldly. "Why talk about that guy anyway? My appetite is gone."

Patience Elina. "It's important, and you have to listen to it."

"How important is the talk of a maid whose job is only to gossip and spread rumors, huh?" matthew riled.

"But I believe the same words. I can see the honesty in her eyes" said Elina loudly. "If you won't listen, you will."

"Why would you go on a hunger strike?" challenge Matthew, then fold both his hands on his chest, turning his face away while snorting. "Why do women always use sneaky ways to make men conquer."

What say? Cunningly? Hah, didn't expect Matthew to say that to her. Elina looked at Matthew, inflamed. This selfish, bad-tempered, prejudiced man, just look, Elina proved her wrong.

Elina said nothing. The fist that Matthew put, moved—ia would not eat it. He took the smoked meat spaghetti, and ate it. He will not stare, say, or chimed in the man's words. Let alone!

Matthew watched the woman's movements. Elina was really angry. Oh, well, he relented. "Yes already, say," he said still angry and mellowed.

But her efforts were in vain, Elina responded coldly. "No."

"Elina, don't make me angry."

Elina looked up, slamming her fork. "Just be angry. And tell me that I'm a seductress who came to you to hold the baby accountable from another man!"

"I didn't say that."

"Why not? You could just say I'm a cunning woman. Maybe that word will come out of your mouth too."

Matthew inflamed. "Stop Elina!"

Elina swerves. That guy snapped at him? Gosh, now everyone turned to the two of them because of Matthew's loud voice that echoed throughout the room. Matthew didn't care about it, but he realized it was his fault.

Elina is like that too. In his heart, the question resonated: why is he angry? And he realized after recalling the flashbacks that happened these few days. He realized he shouldn't cross the line. If only he had stayed in principle. If he hadn't been filled with the man's every concern. If he did not reply to the man with his emotions that he always tried to cover up. It might be better as it was yesterday, to be the woman who coated her heart with iron walls and barbed wire.

If only....

Elina closed her eyes, poignant. A kiss that day flashed through my mind. Can time be replayed?

-;-;-;-

The quarrel set Elina's heart to become her again before getting to know Matthew's heart.

The food had become redundant because their appetite was gone. Elina stared out the window during the return trip, and Matthew reluctantly opened his mouth.

Today's story really makes Elina tired of heart, mind, and body. Looking towards the road, which tempted his eyes to shut and then fell asleep. He did not even realize that the car had been parked in Matthew's house.

Matthew only realized that Elina was asleep, when he opened his seatbelt. Left alone or awakened? But he felt sorry to see the woman exhausted.

Finally, Matthew decided to carry her. The Elina seat belt. However, he stopped when his face was very close to Elina's face. When you sleep, it is so beautiful. And his lips, he admired her greatly. Often he was anxious to look at the woman's lips as she spoke coldly. Even then, as the sneer was said. It felt like he wanted to grab her chin and kiss her to stop.

Matthew shook his head. No, if she did the thing in her mind, this woman would get angry, might not want to see her face anymore, or could have Elina take her child away. Don't let me.

Then, he moved away as soon as Elina's watch belt slipped off. Rushing he got out of the car, carried Elina's body out of the car, then walked towards the door of the house.

Before reaching there, Elina had already woken up and gasped, finding herself in Matthew's arms. "Down me. What are you doing?"

"I know you're angry, but I won't do what you ask" Matthew muttered, continuing.

Elina frowned. Meanin? "Not that. If caught with Madame Goddess and Madame Monika...."

But it's all too late. Matthew stopped walking, shocked to see his mother had caught him holding someone lower than him.

Elina knew it would happen. Why won't the man listen? Now, how's this? Caught already![]
