Diamond Girl
Chapters 11. Will you marry me?

The flashlight in Widia's hand shined a sharp spotlight on two human children who were alone in the kitchen of her home.

“What are you guys doing here!” Widia shouted angrily looking at Arga who was bowing her face and Alya who was looking up at her with both hands was on Arga's lap.

Prosecutor! The flashlight in Widia's hand fell apart from her hand, to the surprise of the two. As fast as lightning Alya pulled his hand from the top of Arga's thigh until the blanket covering Arga's legs was drawn falling to the floor along with the sudden movement of his hand.

“Mama?” Arga turned his wheelchair towards Widia.

“Exploit, you! In bad weather like this, you can do such despicable deeds.” Widia stood up furiously, eyes glaring with both hands at her waist. Emotions made his breath go up rapidly. Bian who was behind him tried to calm down.

Alya stood in fear behind Arga, her whole body trembling violently at the sight of an emotional Widia. The woman's eyes pointed sharply at him, and Alya did not twitch, not daring to lift her face back Widia's angry look at him.

“Mama disappointed with you. What you have done really cannot be Mama forgive,” Widia said with a disappointed look. “Mama thinks Alya female is fine, but it turns out ..” Widia stopped talking and shook her head in disbelief. “She came to this house just to seduce Arga, and my naive son was so easily tempted by her seduction.”

Alya flinched, surprised to hear all Widia's words addressed to her. What had just come out of Widia's mouth really made her heart hurt, an unfounded heinous accusation.

“Ma? Mama said that to Alya,” said Arga, she turned to Alya who was standing with a pale face behind her. "We didn't do anything as despicable as Mama just accused. Alya is helping to put up Arga's socks and fix the blankets on Arga's feet, that's exactly what happened, Ma."

“I'm sorry, if it turns out that my presence in this house disturbs the peace of this family. But one thing you need to know, I am indeed a poor woman who is in need of a lot of costs for the treatment of my mother's pain. But I have never done anything reprehensible let alone to sell my self-esteem by seducing rich men to want to obey all my wishes.” Out of nowhere came Alya's courage to speak, answering all the accusations Widia had leveled at him. He came there with the intention of working, and not to seduce Arga.

“I came to this house to work as a personal nurse Mr. Arga, according to the agreement I have signed. I've received two hundred million in advance, as my working wage and I'm responsible to Mr. Arga until he recovers and can walk again. It was my promise to her,” added Alya trying to hold back her crying, which made Arga's heart even more uncomfortable to hear it.

“Two hundred million?” repeat Widia with both eyebrows linked.

“Alya's mother is seriously ill, and must be operated on immediately. Only an operation can save his life. Arga is willing to help as long as Alya is willing to become Arga's personal nurse and stay in this house, it's a requirement that Arga put on her. And Alya agreed,” said Arga who made Widia regret hearing it and felt very guilty to Alya.

“Im sorry, Mama. Mama is really sorry to accuse you of being a non-no. Mama doesn't know what happened to your mother, and Arga just told Mama.” Widia comes near Alya, and holds her shoulder. “Will you forgive Mama?”

Alya was powerless to hold back her tears as Widia pulled him inside her arms. “Im sorry, Mama. Mama is guilty of you both.” Widia rubbed Alya's back.

Bian exhaled a sigh of relief, not expecting his wife's emotions to quickly subside upon hearing Arga's explanation of Alya's mother's illness. He walked up to Arga and patted his son on the shoulder.

Rainstorms and lightning had already subsided out there, leaving a speck of rain still remaining. Electricity in that place was already on, no need to wait until morning arrived.

Alya sat down with Arga and her parents on the sofa in the living room, she looked calm and could smile back. Widia asks him to stay seated with her because he still wants to hear a lot of stories about Alya and her mother's life. And as long as they were together, Widia kept holding Alya's hand.

“Do you have a lover?” widia asked suddenly, making Alya's face instantly blush. “Mama asked like this because no one wanted to get angry seeing the closeness of the two of you. Shouldn't Alya continue to be next to Arga? And according to your agreement, Alya can only go home at the weekend.”

“No one will be angry to see our closeness, Ma. Alya has not had a lover,” replied Arga quickly, making Widia smile amusedly looking at him.

Bian chuckled at it, Alya gave a smile, while Arga could only laugh bitterly. He looked at his mother's face and then turned to look at Alya and Bian.

“This time there will be no beautiful women chasing Arga again. Especially if they know the condition of Arga disabled leg and left eye blind like this.”

As soon as Widia fell silent, she did not expect to hear a bitter answer from her son's mouth. “Honey, you can definitely walk normally again. And your left eye is not a permanent blind, definitely healed and can see again.”

“You must be cured, Papa has contacted Papa's best friend who works as a specialist abroad. He who will treat your left eye and help you can walk back,” said Bian trying to encourage Arga, he has done many things for the recovery of his son and one of them invites Arga to seek treatment abroad.

“That means Alya has to come with me,” replied Arga who made Alya jerk from her seat.

“It's up to how Alya is, whether he wants to come with you abroad or stay here.”

“Must want! Her job as my personal nurse, and she should continue to be near me.” Arga's insistence that makes Widia grunt when she hears it. “I want to go abroad for treatment as long as Alya comes with me.”

“You want to heal no?!” bian asked a little annoyed.

“My decision is already round, I will go there if Alya comes with me. Otherwise, I will live the rest of my life with blind left eye and crippled leg forever.”

“Why do you talk like that, everything that your Father did for the sake of your own recovery. Don't you want to run back and look as normal as you used to? That means you must obey and seek treatment abroad,”, Alya said in response to Arga's remarks.

“I'll do it if you come with me, do you want to break the deal you signed?”

“You forced Alya to come along with you as if Alya was yours, and he had no right to refuse your wishes.” Sindir Widia, but still his speech can not change the stance of Arga who insisted Alya wanted to come with him abroad.

“How about you guys just get married, then Alya can continue to be beside you.” Bian's successful words made Alya stunned and Widia who was smiling brightly. Alya's heart rattled to hear it.

“Married?” said Arga with a frown.

“Iya, married. That way there is no reason for Alya to refuse to come with you. After all it is better for Arga in the future, because there is Alya his wife who will continue to find him and take care of all the needs of Arga. And we here can be more calm to release Arga treatment abroad,” said Bian conveyed his reason.

“Alya, do you want to see me able to walk back, and see with both eyes as normal as ever again?” Ask Alya.

“Of course, that's my biggest hope at the moment.” Answer Alya.

“Then, would you marry me?”
