Mother's Choice Woman

Chapters 27. Someone Who Matches

Someone Who Matches

Lintani must show that if her relationship with Askelan is okay, the woman will not know if they are actually sleeping in a separate room. Now the man and his assistant were there simultaneously, until he showed a sweet face and dispelled the sense of reluctance as his back was visibly soothed by Askelan.

“What are you ashamed of, Miss, he's your husband! Come here I will help you.” Mo said as he put a practical hook on the wedding dress, until Lintani's body was covered entirely and only part of her shoulder was open.

“Master, your wife is so beautiful! Madam did not choose it wrong for you, I pray that you have many children and I hope, God bless me and your mother long life to be able to see all your children born later.”

“Aibi! You're a pleasure to flirt, aren't you? Comeing! Now take it off again, and tell Mom, this dress fits right in my body and I love it.”

Hearing Lintani's response, Mo chuckled as he glanced at Askelan who was fixated like there was a magnet between her legs and the floor she was on so she couldn't move from there. The sight he saw was like a dream of a hermit coming true.

She had seen Elliyat year after year taking good care of her bridal dress. It was every day that his mother's marriage to Yardo Harrad took place, in the house of the indigenous figure where Elliyat was raised affectionately.

At that time, his mother always said, “I hope someday, you will get married well, and the woman who will wear this shirt, is my favorite, she will be very worthy to wear it. I want someone to use my designs, and he's my son-in-law.”

While Askelan does not think that Lintani, the woman who wears it is a beautiful person also fits her dress, only her status is an ex-convict, from a murder case. When he met at Lux's house this afternoon, he ordered Jordan and the others to investigate about Lintani, and what kind of murder he had committed.

The man will one day marry Haifa, the girl who helped him and was dignified. However, she will not wear her mother's clothes because she, already ordered a special wedding dress that is currently in the works.

Mo had already left after helping Lintani take off her bridal outfit in the bathroom because she was ashamed of Askelan not moving from where she was standing.

“I'm done, so get out of my room, Mister!” said Lintani while putting the shirt in its original place. She was fully dressed and only her hair was still unkempt.

Lintani's attitude returned to normal and Askelan understood him deeply.

The man said, “Sleep after you clean it up!”

“Yes! You don't have to remind me.” Lintani said as she pushed Askelan's body out.

“Live to sleep, don't stay up!”

“What is your business?”

Askelan was upset whenever the girl showed the innocence of her attitude which kept reminding her of her own promise. He was eager to revoke the agreement but, he still had to be within his limits.

“Remember, be nice to my mom and meet her again tomorrow!”

“Ya!”

“I won't be home tonight maybe until tomorrow!”

“Serah!”

Do I care? Thought Lintani. He cannot fall for her, he cannot. The matters of the heart were a forbidden area for him because no man, who deserved to be with an inmate woman like her. What if one day he has a child and his son knows what case once ensnared his mother. How embarrassing the future of the child will be.

Lintani sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against her body. Then, what if she's pregnant? However, she also hopes that her child will survive and be born safely, becoming a substitute for her little fairy who chose to go instead of surviving.

She's counting the money, and she's going to buy a pregnancy test kit after tomorrow's hospital.

A human being is only able to make friends with a comfortable life but, they will be hostile to the test of life even though it will make them stronger.

Suddenly he felt that loneliness was real, he had a status with no rights to Askelan. However, everything the man said last night was impressed like they were husband and wife.

In his current position it would not be possible if he asked to be understood or he was made a place for the man to complain. Doesn't every person have a weak side and he wants to know what Askelan's weaknesses are.

The girl looked out the window and she saw Askelan walking towards the car whose door was opened by Jordan. However, before entering, the man looked up and looked towards the window curtain of Lintani's room.

Lintani knew that she should not be careless to keep one taste in the man, but there was a side of her heart that refused and hid her joy there.

While in Askelan's arms that time, she felt comfortable and actually she wanted to turn around and return her embrace. However, she did not do so because she did not want to be called a cheap woman as Haifa said.

She was just a fake wife, married because her mother would be gone, but, really, she was really fascinated by Askelan the first time she saw her, in a small restaurant near the forest that time. He was just a waitress whose attitude was limited, while Askelan was a special customer. Who would have guessed that now he was stuck in this state.

They live in one house but their rooms are separate. Being a husband and wife without being able to. They are in the same apartment but in a different caste. Seen as a mismatched couple but, in fact, the marriage certificate is just pleasantries.

So, what does it matter if in the end, he has to lose and one day he will leave.

Lintani immediately prepared and went to the hospital, visiting the person she thought was the mother in her room as usual and, she was surprised to see Elliyat fall asleep with medical devices re-attached to her body. According to the doctors who treated him, the cancer in his body had spread and he had to start undergoing chemotherapy. However, he did not know what was happening.

He saw the hair that began to fall from the skin of his head, making Lintani shed tears, when he grasped Elliyat's hand tightly.

“Mother, I pray for your health, tomorrow I will get married and you, must attend?”

Lintani was silent only to pause her voice which started shaking from holding back the crying.

“Bu, I have no friends but you, then, hang on! Don't you want to see a little baby born from my womb?”

A moment later her sobs began to sound.

“Mother, you must be present tomorrow, therefore you must heal now, okay?”

Lintani starts to get shaken and she exits the room, closes the door and cries outside for fear if her crying sounds bother Elliyat. He could not afford to lose his only friend at this time.

Meanwhile in the distance from the end of the corridor, Askelan and Jordan were walking quietly towards where Elliyat was lying weak, she already knew her mother's chemotherapy schedule today, and she intended to visit her later in the day, she said, but according to the doctor he suddenly the woman's condition actually worsened.

“What is he doing there? what's she crying for?” askelan thought, she went in unnoticed by Lintani and she saw her mother smiling at her.

“Askel! Turns out you came, I was dreaming you were getting married tomorrow and promised me that I would soon give me a grandchild and I had to hang on to see it!”

“That's a very good dream, Bu.”

“Of course, it would be great if I received word Lin, pregnant with your child! Where's dia? Is she not with you?”

“No. He has to work.”

“Ah, yes. He said he had a new job. Do you know where he works, you delivered him, right?”

Askelan shook her head.
