I Love You, Without Terms

Altea and Matteo's mother

Matteo awakens from his sleep when faintly smelling the aroma of Sofi's cooking that burst into every room in his home. He circulated his gaze sweeping through every corner of the room, there was a feeling of calmness when he realized if he was sleeping in Altea's house.

Just then there was also the sound of knocking on the door that broke his daydream "Can mom come in?

After getting permission, Sofi gave a small towel and told Matteo to clean up. "Hurry and clean up, son, I wait in the dining room" Sofi then went out and passed to Altea's room.

Ilham, Sofi, and Altea were already at the dining table waiting for Matteo but the man had yet to show up as well, finally Ilham had Altea call out "Try you to meet him in his room , maybe he's reluctant to come here himself"

Altea stepped into the room and found Matteo sitting on the bed.

"Is brother finished ? "

"had, sorry a little long"

"Yes, it's ayok "

Altea pulled Matteo's hand out of impatience, this was the second time Altea had held the man's hand, although it was only an element of chance but this made Matteo's heart race again, however he enjoyed the gentle hand of Altea sticking to his wrist.

"Mom's morning, sir" Matteo greeted the two middle-aged parents.

"Sit kid....

Matteo sat next to Altea, although this was not the first time the awkwardness remained. And as a human being it's normal.

Enjoying breakfast together, Ilham occasionally opens light talks to make Matteo comfortable. "Did you tell your parents if you stayed here, son?

"Not yet"

"You should have told your parents, let them not be martyrs.

The smile on Matteo's lips when he heard a statement from Ilham, there was a sense of sadness felt by the man.

He knew that Ilham did not like him because he knew his ugliness, but the middle-aged man still treated him well. Even Ilham sincerely paid attention to Matteo.

After finishing the breakfast peppered with fine talk, Matteo finally decided to take Altea to his campus.

"We left first father, mother...

"Yes heart is on the road nak e ....

Matteo then drove his car to the Altea campus.

"Didn't my sister work?

"Why indeed?

"what's the next time you're not late? it's already 07:00" Altea showed the clock on his phone.

Matteo realizes that if he takes Altea first to the campus it is certain that he is late, because he must return to the apartment first to change his clothes, not to mention traffic jams in the morning.

"Can you wait for me for a minute, I'll change my clothes first" Matteo finally got the idea .

" it's been , it's okay brother...

Matteo turned around and drove the car to his apartment at a moderate speed.5 minutes later they arrived at the apartment parking lot. He got off the car followed by Altea. "Sister's house is here?

Altea looked at the confused place, she realized that it was not a house but an elite place. "does he live here?

Attaching Matteo's access card invites Altea in. Doubtfully Altea tried to step into Matteo's apartment.

"You wait here for a minute"

"alright...

He had Altea waiting in the living room. Altea unceasingly looked at the place and admired it every now and then his eyes circulated his gaze but he also did not discover who it was.

"Where's parents? Altea was only deep in his heart.

Before Matteo came out of his room he perfected his appearance first in the mirror. Use a little gel on her hair and spray masculine perfume all over her body, after that on the out .

If most women spend hours dressing up or just changing clothes, then that is not the case for men.

5 minutes later Altea saw Matteo was neat with a Navy suit and a white shirt. There was the strong aura that the man had. For a moment Altea looked at Matteo from afar a strapping body, a gallant step and a resolute jaw .

Matteo looks different when using his work suit. An elegant figure with a male aura firmly attached in his appearance.

There was no embarrassed face like the one Altea had seen this morning at the dinner table. "He's very handsome". As a normal woman Altea quite admired the appearance of Matteo.

"So handsome boy" Altea muttered, but still being able to be heard by Matteo, in fact he subconsciously said what he thought, hurriedly shutting his mouth and hoping that Matteo would not hear.

"Thank you for acknowledging my good looks" Matteo displayed a sly smile on his lips when he heard the praise from Altea.

As soon as Altea's face turned pale, it felt like she was ashamed that "aaaaaa can I hide in the pit of ants".

As they passed the lobby, the officers stared at the confused Matteo, for the first time he had brought a woman into his apartment. However, the gaze was ignored by Matteo he was more focused on walking so as not to be late to the office.

"Where are the parents?

"At home ...

"But I didn't see them" Altea recalled that he had circulated his gaze but couldn't find who.

"It's not my house, it's my apartment"

"Is my brother including the newcomers here?

"No

Altea frowned feeling confused by the man next to her.

"I live in an apartment, I don't like living in an old man's house".

"Why is that ? Altea again raised the question out of curiosity.

"Everyone has their own reasons "Matteo just answered flat while focusing on driving.

"Is it because you want to be free like my sister?

"Wind more independent more precisely " said Matteo mempermalus, actually what Altea said was right, wanted to be free is the reason Matteo chose to live in the apartment.She did not like his parents who often restrict him.

Matteo's car stopped in front of the campus. Matteo came out and opened the door and let Altea out "Thank you brother" Altea then got off and closed the car door again.

After seeing Matteo already gone, Altea stepped her foot into the campus, but her steps stopped when she heard a melodious voice greeting her. "Hey pretty, can I know your name ?

A middle-aged woman greeted Altea full of hospitality.

"I'm Atea Auntie ". Altea noticed the appearance of the woman's age was approximately different from her mother Sofi, but the woman was more beautiful with fashionable appearance and looked fresh with her white skin.

"Are you hunting, son?

Altea saw the clock on his phone "No aunt, I'm not hunting what is it? Altea asked to the point.

"Are you Matteo's lover?

"No, I'm sorry do you know Matteo?

"I'm her mother" Ratna smiled sweetly as she looked down at Altea.

"We sat there for a while, could we? Ratna pointed to a chair in the garden not far from the entrance to her room.

"Bby Aunty...

Altea felt scared and guilty about the woman, recalling that this morning Matteo said he had not told his parents to stay at Altea's house. "I should have forced him home last night" .
