I Love You, Without Terms

Lied

One week Matteo has been monitoring the project that his company is building in one of the metropolitan cities, Surabaya. Don't forget he always sends his e-mail to Daniel.

While in Surabaya he was eager to contact Altea, but the intention was undo.

He remembered Altea being away from him so he wanted to meet Altea in silence and ask for her explanation.

He did not rashly call Altea even though he already had the woman's mobile number.

The clock shows at 13:00, Matteo chose the daylight hours to make a flight back to his city.

He planned to meet Altea after he arrived in the city of Jakarta.

Ibra and Daniel, who learned of his friend's return, planned to take him to dinner at Ibra's restaurant. Matteo gladly accepted the offer.

***

In the restaurant

At 19:00

"Your face looks handsome today" Ibra deliberately teased and patted Matteo on the back.

"so I wasn't handsome before? Ask Matteo ketus

"Today is a little different ....

"Be quiet I want to eat, Matteo grabbed a fork and spoon and put food in his mouth.

Matteo and Ibra talked while waiting for Daniel to come.

Before long the glass door of the VIP room opened appeared Daniel as usual dashing appearance did not forget the sunglasses perched on his nose.

"sorry has kept you waiting" Daniel sat his butt in the chair next to Ibra.

"Who's waiting for you? ibra asked in a quip. Daniel just rolled his eyeballs hearing a reply from Ibra.

"You have a few days off, I know you're tired" Daniel said, looking at Matteo, who was busy putting food in his mouth.

"Without you telling me I'd be off for 1 week" Ketus Matteo put on a sly smile. "What's? 1 week? are you crazy Daniel's upset to answer Matteo.

"Why don't you just resign?

Ibra opened her voice again, Matteo looked at Ibra with a glaring glare. "For you to be here and work with the woman you like" Ibra said with a grin.

"I told you, I don't like it, I, just..."

"Admiring" said Daniel immediately cut off Matteo's sentence .

"Don't you know admiring and liking it is thin? A sly grin frames Ibra's face and is met with laughter by Daniel.

"Different thin, but I can still see the difference between the two damn!" firmly Matteo while staring intently at his two best friends .

"Okay, I'm the key to your answer" Ibra said with a faint smile.

"If you like it, it doesn't matter, I'll help you" Ibra said

Before long, Altea knocked on the door and entered into the VIP room.

"Excuse me sir, deliver your order, please"

Matteo turned his head to the side as the eyes of the two clashed. However, the hunt for Altea put Daniel's order and excuse him to come out.

Ibra and Daniel do not know if Altea is a woman who is admired by Matteo. If Ibra had known that Altea was the girl they had just talked to, she might have teased Matteo even more.

Matteo still keeps that a secret, he does not want his two gesrek friends to know the woman they are talking about is named Altea.

The conversation ended when one of the women entered and immediately wrestled spoiled in Daniel's lap.

"until I see you again" Daniel wrapped his hands around her waist and they came out.

Ibra only shrugged her shoulders as Matteo turned his gaze as if asking Ibra to open her voice. Ibra knew where Daniel was going to take the woman.

Matteo just shuddered in horror at the woman's howling.

Until one by one they left the table and Matteo went to the parking lot.

Before leaving the table, he took the time to send a message to Altea "I'll drive you home later, Matteo "

Matteo is waiting for Altea in the car. Until he finally saw Altea stepping out, as quickly as possible he came out and met Altea.

"Come, I'll drive you home" Matteo with a fluffy smile invited Altea.

Matteo who saw Altea dodging him immediately grabbed Altea's hand and tried to pull him close together. But Altea tried to let go by means of thrashing .

"Release brother....

"I'm taking you home Alteaa ! emphatically Matteo with a tone that has gone up an octave. His emotions could no longer hold him.

Matteo seemed to be unable to accept when Altea stayed away from him for no reason and Matteo wanted to ask for an explanation from Altea.

"I have an appointment with my girlfriend, she will be here any minute" Altea said with a slightly frightened face

Altea was frightened when Matteo pulled Altea's hand and endured the pain of his wrist due to Matteo's powerful strength. Perhaps for Matteo the energy he put out to hold Altea's hand was ordinary energy.

Altea was terrified when he saw the aura of Matteo's face change, he recalled when Matteo beat up Mario in the ring. He felt the heat around him. Then spontaneously he said if his girlfriend would come to pick him up.

Matteo reflexively released his grasp from Altea's hand, when he heard the word girlfriend.

There was a sense of tightness in his heart when he found that the woman he liked had a girlfriend.

"Alright, I'm sorry first "Matteo left Altea who was still adjusting his breathing. With a million regrets he drove his car to the club. As usual Matteo will vent his frustration at the club or in the arena.

Like falling from a height and hitting a hard object like that was how he felt.

He did not blame Altea in this, he only blamed himself.

Do not ask how the look of Altea's face now, the look of fear still frames her sweet face. Instantly he saw her wrists reddened by Matteo's grip, more precisely Matteo's unintentional grip.

Then he walked back to stop the public transport, but his steps stopped when someone called his name.

"Come in" the man said as he opened the door for Altea to enter.

"I sir? Altea asked a puzzled question because she felt awkward.

"Indeed who else is here, quickly enter I only give 1 offer" said Ibra.

Then Altea got into Ibra's car, he couldn't resist when Ibra asked him to come in.

flashbacks.

Ibra who was going home instead turned her car back because she accidentally left her apartment access card in a special room in her restaurant.

When he had got his access card he returned to the parking lot but his gaze stopped when he saw Matteo's car was still parked in the VIP location. Ibra looked at the clock in her hand and compared their exit from the restaurant.

"30 minutes? Ibra is confused.

Then he circulated his gaze in all directions and his gaze stopped when he saw Matteo speaking to Altea .

For a moment he approached and hid behind parked cars to hear their conversation. Understandably because it's night so neither Matteo nor Altea are aware of Ibra's presence eavesdropping on their conversation.

"owh Altea was the woman you were referring to" Ibra went back inside until she finally saw how Altea had rejected Matteo's invitation, and how Matteo had gripped Altea's hand. More precisely accidentally clutching Altea's hand.

flash on's.

"He's not the man you think he is"

Ibra broke the silence of the two of them .

Altea from earlier was deliberately silent, he felt uneasy about sitting side by side with the boss of the restaurant owner where he worked.

"Ma.. I mean father? Altea asked doubtfully.

Ibra who heard Altea's voice turned and saw Altea's face.

"Pretty" one word that was present in Ibra's mind.

Ibra had never paid attention to Altea, if not important things like giving invitations yesterday they rarely greeted.

"Be as usual when you're outside, don't be formal". Ibra tried to melt the atmosphere. He understood the awkwardness that the woman sitting next to him was facing.

Altea just nodded in understanding.

"why go home by yourself?

Ibra asked again without looking.

"I always go home by myself, sir.

"Your boyfriend won't pick you up?

"I don't have a girlfriend sir, Altea replied in a shy tone.

"is my hearing getting into trouble? obviously, he told Matteo that he was coming home with his girlfriend" Ibra just said in his heart

"really? Ibra asked back

"yes sir

Hearing the girl's answer next to him, Matteo concluded that he had lied to avoid Matteo.

Seriate....
