I Love You, Without Terms

Difference between Loving and Liking

Ratna's birthday party is still running lively, various family events have passed. Altea noticed the appearance of the people present there.

Altea assessed that if the Matteo family was not an arbitrary person, it looked very elegant and luxurious room decoration.

"Esteemed invitations to thank the blessings of today, let us pray according to each other's religion and beliefs after that, we invite the father and mother to enjoy the dinner we have prepared, thanks" said the host .

Ratna and David approached the table where the children were sitting. The table was deliberately placed the front and formed a round, the design is also different from other tables.

Matteo still clasped Altea's tiny hands tightly, as much as he could create comfort for the girl.

Altea himself could not lie he had to admit if he got comfort from Matteo's grasp.

Ratna chose to sit in the middle of Diva and Altea, while David sat in the middle of his two sons Juna and Matteo.

They enjoyed dinner & once David opened a conversation to his two sons, but Matteo, as usual, was not even responding to it at all.

"Son chicken her cola sauce why don't you taste? it's so tasty "Ratna took the chicken with a fork and put it on the plate of Altea.

"She doesn't like weird food, she prefers a simple menu "Matteo chimed in on her mother without turning her head.

Hearing that David called the waiter and asked to serve a light menu available.

A few minutes later the waiter put 3 types of satay on the table. Altea enjoyed the chicken satay more and ate it voraciously.

Aurel who saw the attention of her two in-laws to Altea was clearly feeling uneasy. Under the table he clenched his hands while holding back furiously.

He felt that if Altea caught the attention of her in-laws, Ratna and David were indeed sober. Ratna also often paid attention to Aurel's greatest son-in-law.

David himself is created to have a cold and indifferent nature. At home alone in one day can be counted how many times David issued a vote. It could even be said that David rarely opened a conversation with Aurel his son-in-law. Not because I don't like it, but that's it.

And his two sons are his drops, the difference Matteo has a negative attitude complementary to his identity.

But for Altea somehow the middle-aged man did not want to be indifferent, even though Altea did not open the conversation with him earlier, but David was happy to see Altea coming.

"Let go of my hand, I'm ashamed" whispered Altea

Instead of letting go, Matteo instead raised their hands on the table, immediately Altea rounded his eyes with a silly action of Matteo, hurriedly he lowered the hand back.

Seeing that Ratna and Diva pulled a thin smile, in contrast to Aurel who was increasingly burning flames of anger.

Aurel did not know Matteo any further as he knew his sister-in-law Diva, because when his marriage to Juna alone Matteo was not present.

Even during the last three months it was only today that she saw Matteo return, after his first meeting during dinner that caused Matteo to move into the apartment.

However, armed with information from Diva and some of the servants at her in-laws she knew that Matteo's attitude was the same as her husband's, only there was a plus minus between the two.

After the meal was over, David and Ratna also announced Juna as the eldest son to occupy a temporary CEO position in his company.

As their parents did not distinguish between their two sons, David also announced that in the near future there will be a reshuffle or rearrangement of the position when Matteo his second son is ready.

They also confirmed that his two sons have equal rights over the company. While the princess Diva only wayangnya will get its own part later.

Hearing that Matteo did not respond at all, he even remained very stupid.

The show was still going on, Matteo chose to withdraw from the event because he realized Altea should not go home too late.

"Ma ,pa me and Altea go home first" said Matteo, without Matteo's consent to immediately stand up and gently pull Altea's hand.

"Wait a minute" Altea brushed off Matteo's hand then she turned around.

"Ah om ,tante I let go home" said Altea as he lowered his head.

"Yes heart is on the way dear" said Ratna representing David who just throw a thin smile.

Not yet Altea finished her bidding, Matteo had already pulled back Altea's hand and wrapped his hand around the girl's waist.

Seeing that David just shook his head. "Still the same "Inner David

Matteo walked over ignoring everyone's gazes fixed on him. "I'm ashamed" said Altea, who tried to remove Matteo's hand from his waist.

Matteo further tightened the winding of his hand and did not give the slightest gap. " Didn't you see everyone here holding their partner's waist" Matteo said casually.

"But we're not a couple" Altea grumbled as he pursed his lips.

"Yes we are going out, it's easy" said Matteo casually passing the security guard in front of his house.

Altea immediately rounded his eyes, he did not believe Matteo was mistaken for his protest.

"Does ? Said Matteo at a glance while stopping his steps.

"Ah let's go home this late at night, later mom is angry" said Altea as she stepped foot.

Realizing that Altea had switched the conversation, Matteo only smiled amusedly at Altea's childish behavior.

He knew conquering this one woman's heart was no easy feat, and it was a serious challenge for Matteo.

"Well, this is still the beginning" Inner Matteo gave a spirit to himself.

Matteo then opened the car door for Altea and closed it again.

Then he turned around and drove his car at a moderate speed.

Altea squeezed the end of the dress she was wearing because it felt strange and awkward looking at Matteo. Tonight it feels like he's back in his first meeting with Matteo.

"After driving me you came back here?

"Where are you going?

"To the apartment" said Matteo as he glanced at Altea at a glance.

"Your house is so big, why do you live in an apartment? " Atea saw clearly the splendor of Matteo's house it felt like he needed to know what the reason Matteo lived in the apartment.

"I told you, no, everyone has their own taste" Matteo honked his car horn because in front of the wagon stopped.

"When did you like me? altea's question managed to lure Matteo's flat face away.

"I don't like you" Matteo hung up his line.

"But I love you" said Matteo, pulling over his car and looking at Altea.

"What's the difference? Altea turned his body and faced toward Matteo.

Matteo sighed for a moment.

"Liking is a demanding thing, whereas Loving is giving and receiving each other in a sincerity" Matteo said staring fixedly at the girl he likes in a gentle tone as if representing his feelings.

I don't know since when Matteo could speak so softly full of feeling. Usually he just acts cold and arrogant to all the women including to his mother Ratna and her sister Diva.

Altea slowly turned her body and faced forward "When have you loved me?

"If that's not what I know" Matteo said, doing the same thing and driving back to his car.

"Why not know?

"It all came out on its own, at first I thought I was admiring you, but seeing you with someone else I was jealous" matteo said as he picked up a tissue and removed the dew from his car's glass so that his view was not blurry. "And I finally realized I already love you".

"Seeing me with Rafael? Altea.

"iya "Matteo confirmed Altea's remark, because indeed he felt devastated when he saw Altea with Rafael.

"I was just helping him back then, because you hit him without cause" Altea said, recalling Matteo's brutal behavior.

"I'm sorry" said Matteo.

"I'm sorry I slapped you too, I didn't mean it" actually Altea deeply regretted the slap.

"That's nothing" Matteo chuckled. He was used to kicks and other brutal stunts, and Altea's slap for him was just a spoiled touch.

"Did you accept my apology? altea

"I'll give you whatever you ask" Reply Matteo with a smile.

"If I ask for a treaty from you?

"I'll give it to you"

"If I ask for ice cream?

"I'll buy it"

"If I ask you to change ?

"I'll do it" Matteo said involuntarily, then he glanced at Altea at a glance.

At the same time Matteo's car stopped in front of Altea's parents' house "It's arrived" Matteo said as he waited for a reaction from Altea.

"Well thank you very much, you hearted "Altea took off the seat belt and immediately came down.

Matteo only smiled meaningfully at the girl, after confirming that if Altea had entered, he moved his car forward and left the courtyard of Altea's house.

On the way to the apartment he was still smiling imagining the few hours he held Altea's hand warmly.

He looked at his right hand and brought the hand closer to the front of his nose the scent of Altea's left hand still stuck to Matteo's right hand.

He then smelled the scent deep inside while imagining himself kissing Altea's hand.

"You drive me crazy "Inner Matteo.

Seriate.....
