Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 125

Nightfall.

Melinda and Ratna were chatting in the room that used to be Melinda's room before she married her husband. The two chatted excitedly, as if there was no burden on them.

“Melinda, may I ask you a very sensitive question? If it can't also be okay,” said Ratna.

“Ask only, as long as I can answer why not,” Melinda replied casually.

“You and Mr Raka have you ever kissed?” ratna asked who slowly turned her face red.

Melinda blushed in shame, suddenly she remembered the incident where her husband kissed her lips.

“Then about it...” Melinda did not continue her words and instead hid her face with a blanket.

Ratna laughed amusedly, it seemed like Melinda had already kissed Raka.

“How does it feel? Did my first kiss seem so special?” ask Ratna curiously.

Ratna knows that her best friend has never kissed, if until Melinda kissed Raka it means first kiss for Melinda.

“I won't tell you how it feels. You will know after you get married,” Melinda concluded.

“Married? You think getting married is easy, Melinda? If I could choose, I wouldn't want to get married. Because I know, marriage is very complicated and for a poor girl like me, it will be difficult,” Ratna said.

“Come, Ratna. You don't have to think about your life, God has a plan for you. I hope you get a husband who loves you for who you are,” Melinda said.

Ratna's eyes glazed over, she was deeply moved by Melinda's expectations for him.

The sound of a knock suddenly disturbed the two, as Melinda rushed to open the door of the room.

“Young Mona and Mbak Ratna have been awaited by the Big Lord in the dining room,” said the maid.

“Iya, Ma'am. Soon me and Ratna will be down,” Melinda replied.

Melinda went back into the room and invited Ratna to dinner with Grandpa in the dining room.

“Sorry, Grandpa. We are late,” Melinda told Grandpa.

“Not at all, let's sit down,” reply Almer to his daughter-in-law's grandson.

Ratna sat next to Melinda. They enjoyed dinner together.

Ratna wept in her heart, she was so happy to be among Melinda's new family. Ratna hopes that in the future she can have a new kind-hearted family like the Arafat family.

After enjoying dinner together, Almer invited Melinda and Ratna to enjoy the view of the capital Jakarta.

“Ratna, do you want?” asked Melinda who wanted to know the opinion of Ratna.

Ratna gladly agreed to Almer's invitation.

“Alright, since you guys have agreed, let's hurry around!”

Although Almer is old, his young soul is still in him. The proof alone, he was more excited than other young people.

Ratna and Melinda don't need to change their clothes. After all, they were just driving around and there was no need to get out of the car.

A few hours later.

After quite around the capital Jakarta, they also arrived home and it turns out the time has shown at 11 pm. It should be for them to rest to welcome a brighter tomorrow.

“Now, you go into the room. Remember, go to sleep and no longer chat,” said the Grandfather reminded the two to go straight to sleep.

“Good, Cake. We will go straight to sleep,” Melinda replied.

Melinda clasped her best friend's hand and took him to the elevator.

Upon arrival in the room, Melinda quickly went into the bathroom for ablution. Wudhu has become a habit of Melinda and her husband before going to bed.

“Melinda, do you want to pray? Didn't we already pray Isya?”

“Ratna, I usually wudu before going to bed. You also have to wudhu to always be guarded by angels,” concluded Melinda.

Melinda decided to sleep first because Melinda was already very sleepy and rushed to sleep.

About half an hour later, Melinda fell asleep, and the woman woke up from her sleep crying hysterically. It looks like Melinda just had a nightmare.

“Hiks... Hix... Hix... Mas Raka!” Melinda cried by saying her husband's name.

Ratna awoke from her sleep and was shocked when she saw Melinda crying.

“Melinda, you why? You are calm yes.” Ratna as much as possible calms her best friend by tightly hugging Melinda's trembling body.

“Ratna, I had a bad dream. I dreamed Mas Raka..” Melinda could not continue her words, she was very afraid when her nightmare came true.

“Melinda, you must be so exhausted that dreaming a no-no. You calm down, I'm here. Mr. Raka must be fine, your body even to the point of shaking because you are so exhausted,” Ratna concluded.

Melinda was still crying, it felt like the dreamy nightmare looked very real. And that made Melinda so scared.

Melinda got out of her bed and hurriedly looked for her smartphone that went nowhere.

“What are you looking for, Melinda?” tanya Ratna who also came down from her bed.

“Melinda, looks like you put your phone in the car. Didn't you bring your phone while we were driving around?” ask Ratna.

Without a second thought, Melinda ran to retrieve her phone. Not being careful, Melinda fell down and sprained her legs. Melinda was crying hysterically, not because of pain in her sprained leg. However, she was sad to miss her husband and wanted to hear his voice immediately.

It didn't take long, the servants and bodyguards ran over to their Young Miss.

Melinda could not get up at all, with the care of Ratna and several servants helping Melinda to get up and go back into the room.

“Mbak, please get my phone in the car!” pinta Melinda's.

“Good, Young Miss. I'll take Miss Young's phone,” she replied and ran a little out of the room.

One of the bodyguards chose to tell their Young Miss about the Great Lord. Of course their Great Lord should know about Melinda's condition.

Melinda immediately grabbed her cell phone and tried to contact her husband. However, she could not because her husband must have had a new phone number.

Yes, I can contact Mas Raka using WhatsApp. (Inner Melinda)

Almer came in hasty steps, The old grandfather seemed worried about the condition of his son-in-law's grandson.

“Why are you quiet? Quickly contact the doctor at this time too!” almer's orders seem to panic.

Next morning.

For the next few days Melinda could not move her right leg too often. Because the risk is quite fatal if Melinda continues to force to walk as usual.

Almer asked Ratna to stay by Melinda's side for a while. Until Melinda is completely healed and can walk like before.

“Ratna, why hasn't Mas Raka contacted me yet? Has Mas Raka not arrived yet?” Melinda wondered with a blank look.

“Melinda, you are patient yes. Mr. Raka will definitely contact you soon,” Ratna said trying to calm Melinda so as not to think about Raka Arafat.

“As a wife, of course I'm very scared, Ratna. I was afraid if something happened to my husband there,” said Melinda helplessly.

Just now Melinda said the sentence, suddenly her phone rang and with hope Melinda opened the WhatsApp notification.

“Assalamu’alaikum, my dear wife. I've arrived and I'm fine,” Melinda said reading a message from her husband.

Melinda cried with tears, at once she could breathe a sigh of relief because finally the husband sent word.

“What did I say, Melinda. Mr. Raka is fine. Wait let alone, quickly you reply to a message from Mr. Raka,” Ratna said excitedly.

Melinda replied to the message with love. He was really relieved and decided to hide the calamity he experienced. Melinda does not want to make her husband think about himself in Indonesia.

“Grandpa!” Melinda waved her hand when she saw the Grandfather who had crossed the living room.

Almer smiled widely and walked over to his daughter-in-law's grandson.

“Kakek just stay there, let Melinda who is there,” said Melinda.

Melinda walked carefully while being helped by her best friend. Of course Melinda walked with a walker.

“What's up, daughter-in-law's grandson? Why does it look so happy?” ask Almer curiously.

“Grandfather, look! Mas Raka sent a message to Melinda!” Melinda was very happy and showed me the message.

“Alhamdulillah, now how does Grandson son-in-law feel? Is it very happy?” ask Almer curiously.

“Very, Cake. Very happy,” replied Melinda.

“Children's daughter-in-law take it easy, nothing bad will happen to Grandpa's grandson.”

“Iya, Cake. Melinda believes it,” says Melinda.

“Then, Grandpa should go to the company. Nak Ratna, please take care of Melinda for Grandpa,” Almer said.

“Good, Grandpa,” reply Ratna.

Almer nodded and eventually went to the company.

“Ratna, can I ask you please?” asked Melinda who wanted to ask her best friend, Ratna.

“Please, Melinda. As long as I can why not?”

“Look, suddenly I want to eat the steamed sponge you made the other day. Can't you make me one more time,” concluded Melinda by displaying an expression as blank as possible.

“Then this is the case, how can I not refuse it? All right, now you have to take me to the room. Anyway you can't go anywhere as long as I make a sponge,” Ratna asserted.

“Wow, looks like my best friend is pretty fierce. You take it easy, I am not going anywhere and will just stay in the room to wait for your steamed sponge,” explained Melinda.

“I'm not fierce, Melinda. Don't you say that, what if someone hears and tells the Great Lord? The one, I even got sprayed,” said Ratna half-whispering.

“You are there, who would report like that. Now, go to the kitchen. I want to eat your steamed sponge, Ratna,” Melinda said.

“Siap, my beautiful friend. I went to the kitchen first yes,” said Ratna and waltzed off to the kitchen.

It's so good that Ratna is with me. (Inner Melinda)
