Imperfection
Chapter 30

When I got to the front of the house, Magdum immediately carried me out after previously taking out my wheelchair. I didn't talk to him much, or look at him. It feels very foreign and also awkward if it is like this. And when he sat me in a wheelchair, he immediately pushed him into the house.

“Magdum!!”

I turned my head away for a moment when I heard the sound of that call sounding quite loud. Right behind us. Magdum immediately stopped his steps and turned my body and himself. And I could see Galang walking hastily towards the two of us. Both of his eyes were emitting angry glances.

BUGH

I held back the scream by covering my mouth with both palms of my hand. Galang raised his hand hard against Magdum's cheek and made him fall hard on the ground. Galang did not stop beating Magdum.

“Galang... Stop already!!!” I screamed loudly, hoping to stop them, as Magdum began to return Galang's punch to him.

“What's going on here, huh?!” Refi came out of the house, looking at me who was crying and staring at Galang and Magdum who had not stopped their blows.

“You!!!” Refi's brother approached them and tried to break up their fight. And in the end he succeeded, making Galang and Magdum stand with their breaths gasping.

“What's with you guys huh?!” Refi's sister shouted towards them. However, I could still see the angry gazes of Galang and Magdum as well.

“Do not touch him, if he does not want to, Magdum... You do not even have the slightest right to be able to touch him!!!” Galang pointed towards Magdum who was standing right in front of him.

“He always thought he would be happy with you, but he wasn't. He was in a hurry in taking his decision to be with you!” Magdum shouted to answer Galang, and in fact it made Galang become emotional again.

“ENOUGH!!!” I screamed, and made them take their eyes off me, staring at me. I wiped my tears violently on both of my cheeks. “I'm tired of all this.. don't fight anymore.”.

A little distance from Magdum. Stare fixedly at me and I don't know what to do with them anymore. “Magdum..” Magdum lifted his head and looked at me. “This is my life. Whatever I decide for my future is my choice. And I have absolutely no doubt about choosing Galang as my future.”

I breathe slowly. “I know, you love me more than a friend to you. But, I can only think of you as my best friend, can't be more than that, Magdum.” And I could see both of his eyes starting to spoon, for what I had just said to him. “Please, don't question my wrong decision or not. Because I'm sure that this time my decision was correct. Please, don't fight again for this..”.

I cry in silence. Grasping the side of my wheelchair. “Lily..” I raised my head and looked at Magdum who was already standing right in front of me. He crouches. “I'm sorry, Lily.I'm sorry..I realize that now or later, I still won't be able to get love from you. Please, forgive me for being selfish about my feelings for you.”

I nodded my head slowly, and clasped his hand that covered his face. “I forgive you, Magdum..please, forgive me too.” I sobbed back, and immediately got hugs from Magdum, Galang and also Sister Refi.

And I thank God for giving me this loving and loving family. I am grateful to be able to get a brother who is loving and caring like Sister Refi.

I'm grateful to have someone who could love me for who I am, with the magnitude of that feeling for me. And I will never ask more from Galang for what he has right now.

I am grateful to have a friend who can accompany me when I need him like Magdum. Although, I will never be able to repay her feelings of love for me. I'm quite happy to get the fact that he still wants to be friends with me. That alone is enough for me.

Brother Refi released the hug that happened between all of us. He smiled shadyly. “Now, come on, we all go inside. It's been very night now, Galang and Magdum, you two just stay here tonight... okay?!”.

I looked at Galang and also Magdum who nodded their heads together. And I smiled back. This comfortable feeling got even better when I saw the two of them who no longer fought, nor blamed my decision. At least, I know, Magdum is starting to understand now and will no longer be concerned about it.

She looks perfect, despite her limping steps, I know she just wants to look more normal and perfect in both of my eyes. Even though it's not – it's important to me. The love, affection and attention he has given all this time is enough. I will never again care about all the words of most people – people who denounce this disability. One of her limping legs made me realize that no one in the world is perfect.

I smiled and looked at him. While holding both my hands right on his sturdy neck. I brought my face closer to his, and began to kiss his firm jaw. Galang was surprised and immediately stopped his footsteps who climbed the stairs. I smiled shyly at him who started looking at me. And I felt Galang kissing both of my closed eyelids instantly.

“I love you, Lily.” Galang muttered once more and I opened my eyes, staring into his dark black eyes. So hypnotic to me.

“I love you too.” I returned his words. And instantly my heart was pounding loudly. It gave off a very happy feeling there. Galang began to continue his steps and entered my room. Galang put me very carefully – hearts into bed, started to help envelop me. Galang was sitting right next to me, he started rubbing – strokes of my forehead and also my hair.

But, there was one question that I had wanted to ask him for a long time. It's just I can't say yesterday – yesterday. So, I decided to ask him right now. “Galang... can I ask?!”

He nodded his head and smiled. “Of course, you want to ask what??”

“Actually, your job is a lecturer or what the hell?! Why do you have your men and your right hand ready whenever you need?!”

“Oh... about that yes..” Galang muttered and as if – would be confused to answer what my question is. “Actually, apart from being a lecturer, I have my own company. Not too famous or too big. I mean.. every company must have a man or his right hand.”

I round my eyes. A businessman? I didn't even think about this before. “Employer? Company?”

“Ya.. forgive me for not telling you in the first place. I should have known that this was my fault too. But take it easy, I've got information about who has committed terror and also the cause of this accident.”.

“Really?! You found the guy... Who?? Tell me, who is it?!” I asked a little urgently towards him. This is really good news, if it is true, if Galang has found the man. I wanted to hit him and avenge every fear and pain. Not only me, but Galang, Brother Refi and Magdum, they also felt it.

“You will know later.All we have to do now is, how to trap the person into telling the truth. And after that we just reported him to the police.”

Galang explained his plan. But still I was still very even very curious about who that person was. I feel anxious myself. “But... who is that person?!” ask me one more time.

Galang just smiled and started looking down at me. Kissing my forehead, baby, a little long. His eyes looked at me, as if he was holding something back. I don't know what that look means. Arrived – just arrived he approached again and kissed the corner of my lips, making me a little jolted in shock. “Sorry.. I. I don't know what happened to me. Everything that happened, made it very difficult for me to think clearly.”

I immediately shook my head quickly. “It's okay.. You even kissed me a few times. I was just surprised earlier.”.

“I know..maybe, I am not a perfect person for you or in anyone else's view of myself and our relationship. Merely, I am much older than you.If only, I had met you before meeting Mia, I would have approached you more than anyone else. We will be close to each other and also get acquainted. We'll cuddle and join hands.” ****smile error. Then he started to get up from his seat, and helped me to get up and lean against the wall of the bed. He looked at me in – deep.

I looked up a bit to be able to look at her towering. “I may have stolen a few kisses while I was with you, even after I asked your sister for permission.” He paused for a moment and looked at me with a slight huff. “I'll kneel now..” And immediately Galang knelt on the side of my bed. I was a little surprised to see him. “And I will give you a ring..” He held out a ring inside his box. I couldn't say anything, but my eyes were already glazed over. “This ring belongs to my grandmother, she passed it to my mother, and now I want to give it to you. I always keep it, I never give it to anyone, including Mia.”

Galang grasped my left hand and put the ring right on my ring finger. I'm dumbfounded. “Lily Paramita. I swear that I will love you forever, my whole life and even death. Then, do you want to give an amazing opportunity by marrying me?!”

I can't say anything anymore. “Iya..” I answered her with great difficulty, and a drop of tears fell down my cheek. I looked at Galang deeply who was in the middle of****his smile. I also smiled at him. And without cue, Galang hugged my body tightly, and I returned his embrace with no less tightly.

“Thanks, Lily..”.
