Love in Marriage 3
Chapters 27. The Sincerity of a Substitute Mother.
The night is getting late but the sharp eyes are not yet able to be closed. The beautiful shadow that was always in his mind, made him unable to enjoy his dreamland. The love that always blossomed in the heart of the handsome man, never fade in the slightest, despite being separated by the vast ocean between two countries.
With her back on the bed, Reza stared at the attic with her own eyes, reminiscing about her lover who was carrying the heavy burden of life without her presence. The words Melda said before their separation, became a burden that made her feel very uneasy that night.
While Melda who was lying on the bed RS, had awakened in the middle of the night without anyone knowing it. At his bedside were Papa Fahri and Mama Alira who were sleeping. Seeing the two surrogate parents for him, Melda's heart became unbearable to tell the truth, about what Farel did.
Melda went awry, she didn't know how to deal with all that. I really want him to tell me everything. But he wouldn't ruin his family's good name if news of a failed marriage between him and Farel was out there.
What happened in the Permana family, has always been a great news among the public, even among officials and businessmen. And according to Melda's thought, if anyone knew his marriage to Farel failed because of the affair committed by Farel, it would be very tarnishing the good name of his family.
Melda decides to keep all of it, in order to keep her family's good name. Moreover, he did not want to insult the deal that had been made by his parents, even though all that would make him suffer even more.
In the middle of such a silent night, the extremely tormented Melda was also burdened with all the troubles in her life, only able to cry in silence. Tears flowed down her pale-looking face, unable to complain and share what was in her heart. And just as he wanted to move to grab the glass of water that was on the table, right next to his bed, he was instantly speechless with a face that looked puzzled as well as shocked, because he felt something strange.
With her eyes wide open and full of worry, Melda tried to feel her legs which she felt like numbness. And how shocked the poor girl was, when she felt nothing at the feet she touched. Tears that had been broken increasingly slid down his face. Melda could only cry without making a sound on the bed lamenting the bad luck that befell her.
How painful the poor girl was, when she found out that she was not perfect anymore. The sound of crying that he had been trying to endure since earlier, finally came out from his mouth which he covered with both hands. And that makes Papa Fahri also Mama Alira who was sleeping beside her bed so woke up.
"Darling you why..?" Mama Alira asked with a look of surprise, while holding Melda into her arms.
"my leg's numb Pa.. Hyx,,, hyx,, hyx. " Melda said as she cried in Mama Alira's arms.
"You are patient, baby! Mama and Papa won't let you be like this. We're gonna try to heal your leg." Mama Alira said as she rubbed Melda's head with tears.
Mama Alira was very sad to see the condition of Melda, who had to bear such a heavy burden. Lovingly, Mama Alira clutched the fragile body while continuing to give her spirit.
"You don't have to be afraid, baby! My mom will always be there for you. You are the daughter of Mama and Papa. We're not gonna let you take all this alone." Mama Alira said as she kissed Melda's head repeatedly.
Seeing the sincerity of his wife to his nephew, whom he had raised as a child, made Papa Fahri so proud to have the beautiful woman. Mama Alira is not only beautiful, but she also has a myriad of affections. And that's what made Papa Fahri the north pole so devastated, and could not turn away from it.
In the arms of Mama Alira, Melda kept crying. She misses the figure of her parents, who have left her forever. He also misses the man he loves very much. It was very desirable for him to embrace that burly body and complain about everything he was feeling at that moment.
Although Papa Fahri's affection for Mama Alira was so great for her, Melda did not dare to express her complaints to them. All she needed at that moment was the presence of Reza, the man she loved so much. Because only to Reza, he could spill all the burdens of his life were so heavy.
Despite being far apart without news, Melda's love still remains the same. He could never forget his first love even if it was just a pervert. After Reza's departure, Melda goes through her days with Reza's shadow always lingering in her memory. Only tears were always silent witnesses, if the longing for Reza came to him.
