Bondage of Love

The Past of Matteo

"Xander's."

"Hm."

"We're out yuk, mama and the kids must have waited too long."

"Bring first, I'll catch up."

Kamisha moved from the sofa to the bathroom. Soon Xander caught up with him.

The two soon joined mom and the kids. Harvey and Zeline arrive with their daughter, Shiren.

"Your son is beautiful, Zeline." praise Kamisha. He held Shiren who made Zio cry. "Hey mommy just carried Shiren for a second. Hmm the child's spoiled base." Kamisha again handed Shiren into Zeline's lap.

"He's possessive like Xander."

"I don't want to lose my wife and children."

"That's just your excuse." mama snorted annoyedly.

"Oya aunty I heard about Matteo returning to Indonesia."

"Where do you know?"

"My friend participated in the events held by his company."

"Yes right, if there is no event it is certain that he does not want to go back to Indonesia."

"Is Matteo still traumatized by what happened fifteen years ago?" ask Harvey.

"Let's know, it's been a long time." mama Attalia sighed.

"What happened, dear?" ask Kamisha to Xander who is engrossed with Zio enjoying dinner together. His disposition was distracted by his wife's question. He never told Kamisha because he thought it was the past and not important for his household.

"Fifteen years ago om Matteo had a lover. Well it could be said to be almost married. We think Sarah's lover om Matteo is very possessive. One day there was a great quarrel due to the jealous attitude of Sarah, which made Sarah end her life."

"You mean suicide?"

"Yes, suicide. Jumping out of the apartment they both bought."

"Wow." shouted Kamisha with a surprised expression

"Why is that so surprising?"

"The story is almost the same with you baby, you have possessive Kyara too."

"Different." said Harvey. "Kyara's possessive feelings aren't on Xander but you're Sha. Just look at what happened to you, it's because he wants to be like you."

"Eh, don't talk about the past. We just have this good future. Let's eat first." mama Attalia switched the conversation.

They continued to enjoy the dinner dishes while chatting small and joking.

"Good morning Mr. Matteo I want to submit a revision of the event plan that you will hold." Sofi made a call with Matteo

"You just take it to my apartment."

"Apartment? Where's sir?"

I'll send you the address.

After reading the message, Sofi immediately drove her car to the address in question.

The first floor Sofi thought. Usually the rich will certainly choose the penthouse located above. Why is this below.

No need to take a long time, Sofi has arrived at the door of the apartment.

Ting.. Vat.. Ting.. Vat..

Sofi waited for an answer from the one who had the house

Ting.. Vat.. Ting.. Kegs

For almost ten minutes he waited.

"Where the hell, he said to come to the house now even no." Sofi grumbled. He took a cell phone from his bag and arrived - arrived cheklek.. Door opens.

"Lake in."

Sofi obediently walks into Matteo's apartment but that amazes her. It turned out to be very luxurious inside, unlike other apartments. It's called the penthouse downstairs.

"Sit down."

"Thank you sir." Sofi sat on a light blue sofa, she immediately opened the laptop and put on a flash.

"I have breakfast first."

"Oh, okay. Please."

Sofi immediately put her laptop back on the table. He spread his eyes out to all directions. This very large apartment can probably be said to be like two apartments that are merged into one.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Questions arrived - arriving from Matteo disperse his admiration for the bachelor man.

"Oh, I had breakfast at home."

"Can I make you some coffee?"

"Can." Sofi moved from her couch to the kitchen. "Hmm, where's the coffee machine?"

"That's on your right."

"Oh yeah.. This has already met."

"The coffee's in the drawer."

Sofi immediately opened the drawer and picked up the coffee. It does not take long, the coffee is ready to be enjoyed by Matteo.

"Please."

Doubtfully Sofi sat at the dining table opposite Matteo. If noticed this Matteo has a handsome face even though he is forty years old. His house is very neat and it signifies that he is a man who likes to look perfect. No wonder he managed to move in the textile business.

"You don't wonder why my attitude is so different from your time in Bali?"

"Actually curious, but I'm not the one who wants to know people's business."

"Good, I like principled girls. Frankly when I first saw you I was very interested in your body language, which I think is different from other women."

Shit, it's the same with the other guys. Base eye basket.

"You pissed?"

"Well.. Nope! There's no reason for me to be upset."

"Don't lie, from the look on your face I can already read. Remember I was born before you."

"Yes.. Yes I know Mr. Matteo is more experienced than me. Especially the problem of girls."

"Haha.. I love the way you enjoy life. Cancel engagement doesn't make you worse off apparently."

"Where do you know? You investigated me."

"Not at all, why do you think I'm investigating you. At that time just know no." Matteo sipped Sofi's coffee and then sat back down on the living room sofa. "Sit here I'll tell you if you don't mind."

Frankly, Sofi is not a person who likes to be curious or even interfere in the affairs of others. But somehow this time he was interested in hearing Matteo's story. He moved from the dining chair to join Matteo in the living room.

"I live in France and have not returned to Indonesia for many years. One day I received a child engagement letter from my business partner. Beautiful girl but___."

"But what?"

"I feel sorry for that girl. There was no happiness in his eyes. That's the first time I fell in love with those sad eyes."

"Do I know that girl?"

"Of course honey, it's you."

"Me?"

"Yes that was your engagement invitation. Your future in-laws are my business partners" Matteo said. "And I'm right, aren't you, you're not engaged. Why?"

"We don't fit in."

"Not suitable or not in love. Don't lie to me, Sofi. You don't love her."

Sofi was silent, she always lost arguing with parents who had a lot of experience.

"I forgot about it for a long time until I finally saw those eyes again in Bali. Well that's why I'm trying to get close to you. I want to make sure that's you."

Sofi's heart rippled when she heard that coming out of Matteo's mouth. Indeed he admitted Matteo is a figure whose thinking is very mature, hardworking, responsible and handsome. All that is in Matteo many who fit in the criteria of the ideal man Sofi almost ninety percent except age. According to Sofi Matteo's age is too mature.

"But I didn't like the way you were at the time. Too brave." said Sofi full of emphasis.

"Oh common, I'm too grown up."

"Well, it's too mature to be lazy to commit and taste a lot of women. You're too timid."

"No! I'm not a coward. Don't say like that."

"I judge based on what I see."

"You don't know what about me honey."

"Don't call me honey."

"But I like it."

"Whatever."

Sofi snorted in annoyance. Matteo looked at him sharply. He put a coffee cup on the table.

"I've had a past that people may never want to experience."

"Well, that means you're a coward."

"Maybe's. What would you do if you had a possessive partner to kill yourself in front of your eyes?"

Sofi was shocked to hear Matteo's story. If he had experienced it, it would have been trauma.

"Now you shut up. Let's answer. Where's your voice that exploded - the explosion. Why silence now? Answer?"

"E.h.e.. Of course it's gonna be traumatized."

"That's true, that's what hit me honey. I've had a toxic relationship."

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Bad.. Why am I telling you about this. We better get to work. Where's the revision I requested yesterday."

Sofi was still daydreaming, she changed her view of Matteo. Behind her stern face turned out to be her fragile heart. He felt sorry.

"Sophy.. You hear me?"

Sofi was silent. He is still busy with his own mind. Matteo called out to him again by adding to the volume of his voice.

"Sophy! We can work now!"

Like waking up makes Sofi confused. "Oh, could. Sorry."

"It's okay." said Matteo casually. "I want to see yesterday's revision."

"Well." Sofi quickly grabbed the laptop and started to drift off into work.

Rundown event held by Matteo company has been changed according to Matteo's wishes during the second meeting. And he was satisfied with the work of Sofi.

After completion Sofi immediately leave home for preparation for booking places and so forth.
