Desmala Gralind
You are more beautiful

Mala opened her eyes, it seemed that the sun had started to rise. He felt a glare when the sunlight accidentally hit his eyes. When Mala was about to get up she felt heavy in her hands. Mala turned her head and was shocked when there was someone beside her.

Mala peeked a little to see her face covered in hair.

"Mama" said Mala. But he brushed it off maybe he was dreaming and had not really woken up from sleep.

Mala slapped her own cheek to make sure.

Plakkk

"Awhhhhh sick" ringis Mala.

"That's not a dong dream" Mala said.

Alisia who heard that Mala grimaced in pain. Waking up from his sleep.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" ask alisia.

"Mama's home?" ask Mala.

"Yes, mama miss you"

"Mala too"

The two hugged releasing the longing that had been held back.

"Where is ma?" mala asked because he had not seen his papa.

"Again sleep, outside"

"You're in school today, right? there get ready mama ready for breakfast" said Alisia.

"Yes ma"

At the dinner table Mala and her parents were having breakfast together. Mala felt the warmth of her family. Likewise with Alisia and Herman they again felt the presence of their beloved daughter.

"Oh yes ma, pa. Do you know where I've come back here?" ask mala. He contacted his parents but could not.

"Someone, tonight they'll come here. Papa told him to make dinner" replied Herman.

"Mala also can't wait to meet, Mala wants to say thanks to him"

"Yeah, now finish the food. Later late school" pinta Alisia.

She was taken by her parents to school. After saying goodbye Mala directly entered the school.

"Dira, Haura!" call mala when she sees the two girls walking down the school corridor.

"Mala, why is it so delicious" said Dira.

"Yes, you know what?"

"Son, you haven't been told" Haura replied.

"Yes too" said Mala.

"My parents are back" Mala cheered.

"What really?" ask Dira.

"Ahhh come with me, finally your prayers in kabulin ya" said Haura.

"Yeah" Mala replied.

"Hands up dong" said Dira.

The three hugged for Mala's happiness.

"It's neat, isn't it? I can't wait to see that guy. I want to say thank you to him for making my parents come home" said Mala while staring at her reflection in the mirror.

"Mala, come down baby!" the call of her mother made Mala immediately go down.

"The person must have been Dateng" said Mala, for some reason he was very impatient.

"Yes ma" said Mala while going down the stairs. Mala was standing right in the middle of her parents.

"Known this, om Kenzo and Aunt zavi" said Alisia with a big smile.

Mala was still confused as to why they knew him. Mala has not introduced them.

"Om kenzo this is Papa's brother who a few years ago went missing without a trace. And suddenly emailed papa and said that you were alive and at home" Herman said.

"So you're the same brother?" mala and Kenzo asked.

"Wait a moment, what do you call Kenzo's brother?" ask Herman.

"Dad" Mala replied.

"Why do you call him dad? it should be Kenzo" Alisia said.

"And he's Zizi's father" kekeh Mala. Kenzo and Zavi just smiled at Mala's behavior.

"Zizi is my father's favorite mother. Is it dad, mom?" he added.

"Yaps, really" Zavi pinched Mala's nose.

"Wait a moment, I think there is something that needs to be explained" said Herman.

"Father, Kenzo's father is the same mother zavi who has been saving and caring for me all this time. He was the one who helped me find evidence of Andi's crimes. Until I can return to this house again" Mala explained.

"Oh so that's the story" replied Herman nodding his head.

"But why does Kenzo's brother Zavi call Mala Zizi?" ask Alisia.

"That's Mala's pseudonym, and we often call her that. His name is Queenzie and can be called Zizi" kekeh zavi.

"Yes-yes, I understand now" Reply Alisia.

A week later...

Mala's life is back to normal. He followed his routine as usual. From Monday to Friday he will go to school. Saturday and Sunday he will be at the karate place. All of these have become mandatory activities for Mala. Plus, he now has two parents. Mala often divides her time. Sometimes he stayed at home and occasionally he stayed at the home of his father and his mother.

This time Mala was very affectionate from them. Added friends who are always there for Mala. Sometimes after school they set aside time to play together. Whether it's for shopping, hanging out, eating, watching, or going for a walk.

And Rakha, she is a boyfriend who always faithfully accompanies Mala. Rakha became very romantic. He often gives a suprise and also a meaningful gift to Mala. Now Rakha also has a busy life besides school. He becomes a part-time worker at an Affan family-owned cafe. Sometimes the cafe is also a hangout for Mala and her friends.

After Andi went to prison. All his assets were confiscated by the bank. That's because of a debt that can't be paid by Andi. Even the house and car were seized. And now Rakha lives in a boarding house. To meet her needs, Rakha is forced to work part-time.

Rakha is busy. But he also made time for Mala and her school.

"Taraaa" said Rakha showing a necklace to Mala. They are on the lake. As usual, they would take the time to meet at the place.

"Rakha, what the hell did you buy me a necklace. Mending the money you save for your needs" said Mala. He does not dislike the gift of Rakha, but Rakha has given him gifts too often. It would be better for him to save for his needs later.

"No, Mala, it's not expensive. In Terimah yes" said Rakha.

"Yaudah, but do not let your needs be too late just because you give me a gift!" pinta Mala's.

"Ready" to Rakha.

In Mala's life, Rakha is someone who means something to her after her father and mother. Because only Rakha is always there for Mala. Always supporting his every wish.

"Rakha, watch the sun set" Mala said.

"Yes, it's beautiful" Rakha said glancing at Mala.

"Rakha, the sunset's there! why even look at me"

"Your colors are more beautiful" Rakha said.
