Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 129

Finally the time that Grandpa Almer was waiting for arrived as well. The old man seemed happy because he had been allowed to go home, although in the future he could no longer be sapped or have as many thoughts as before.

“How, Grandpa happy?” ask Melinda.

“Of course, Grandpa is very happy. How about the grandson-in-law, is the grandson-in-law happy?” ask Almer.

“For Melinda, as long as Grandpa is healthy, of course Melinda is happy and happy,” Melinda replied.

Grandpa Almer's personal driver had just arrived and was carrying a suitcase containing the Great Lord's clothes.

“Big Lord, finally Big Master is healthy now. We are all very worried about the situation of the Big Lord,” said Almer's personal driver.

Almer laughed at the words of his personal driver.

“You do not need to worry, so far there is a grand daughter-in-law who accompanied and took care of me while in the hospital,” concluded Almer.

Melinda and Grandpa Almer slowly get into the car. Then, the car drove back home.

There wasn't much Melinda or Grandpa Almer talking about in the car. Because, Almer focused on watching the road around. It can be said, Almer misses the atmosphere of the capital Jakarta after being in the hospital long enough.

Melinda leaned her head against the body of the chair while watching her phone. Almost a day her beloved husband has not sent word to her and it makes Melinda quite frustrated because she misses the news from her husband who is far away there.

What is Raka doing? It seems like Mas Raka is very busy, to the point of not sending any news to me. (Inner Melinda)

Almer felt quite sleepy on the way home, slowly the old man closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep.

Melinda turned her head towards Grandpa Almer and turned out to be asleep. Carefully, Melinda fixed her grandfather's head that looked uncomfortable. After that, Melinda fell asleep because some days she was sleep-deprived.

Upon arrival at home, the servants and Bodyguards welcomed the arrival of the Great Lord and their Young Miss.

They smiled broadly as Grandpa Almer and Melinda got out of the car.

Two servants swiftly approached Almer and led the old Grandpa into the room.

“Grandpa rest first yes Grandson daughter-in-law. Granddaughter-in-law should also rest, Grandpa knows that during the hospital granddaughter-in-law lack of rest,” said Almer who is still concerned with Melinda.

“Good, Grandpa. Melinda will go upstairs to rest,” Melinda replied.

Melinda did not go straight to the room, the young woman approached the waiters and asked the waiters to cook more vegetables. The vegetable chosen should be the vegetable of choice.

“One more time, Ma'am. Please the fry-fried reduced yes, Grandpa is still not well. For that please pay attention again to the food that will be eaten by Grandpa. Once again I thank you for the dedication of these Mpa-mbak during his work here,” said Melinda and half bowed, evidence that Melinda was very grateful for their hard work during being a servant in the house.

They shook their heads when they saw Melinda who was in a half-bending position.

“Young Miss, please don't be like that anymore. We feel bad at the same time uncomfortable,” said one of the servants representing the other waiter.

“Sorry if it makes the Mbak uncomfortable, my thanks are really sincere and there is no intention whatsoever,” Melinda said.

“Iya, Young Miss. We know,” reply them compactly.

“Mbak, I go to the room first yes. Want to rest,” said Melinda.

Melinda politely breezed away leaving the servants staring at her with admiration. Melinda was not arrogant at all, even Melinda never once used the name of Young Miss who usually acted arbitrarily to the servants.

“Truly awesome figure Young Miss. Contrary to the figure of the Magical Grandmother who likes to rule and play hands,” said one of the servants who began to gossip.

“Hussstt, don't talk about that witch. Besides, we already have an angel here,” said another waiter.

Melinda put her backpack on the bed. And took out his dirty clothes, and put them in a basket of dirty clothes. After that, Melinda took the towel that was on the hanger and rushed into the bathroom. It seemed, he had to clean his body asleep first before resting.

In about 30 minutes, Melinda finally came out of the bathroom with her body completely wrapped in a towel.

Before wearing her clothes, Melinda first checked her phone in hopes of a WhatsApp notification from her husband. However, there was none and enough to make Melinda sad again.

“No word yet from Mas Raka,” said Melinda in a slightly disappointed voice.

Melinda took a breath and started wearing her clothes. After that, Melinda dried her clothes using a hair dryer to quickly dry.

Just turning off the hairdryer machine, Melinda's phone rang and the anticipated one by Melinda finally contacted her.

Melinda eagerly shifted the phone screen to immediately receive a phone call from her beloved husband.

“Hallo, assalamu'alaikum my dear husband!” Melinda said wrong with great enthusiasm.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, my dear wife. Sorry, I just got in touch with you,” said Raka.

“Mas Raka dear, tumben not video call?” ask Melinda.

“Sorry baby, I haven't had a shower. If we have a video call that my wife even ilfill see this ugly husband,” replied Raka.

Almost 1 hour they talked by phone, until finally Raka had to end their warm conversation.

“Because I had a conversation with Mas Raka, I should take a nap,” Melinda said monologously while massaging her head that was a bit dizzy.

Melinda put her body on the soft mattress and slowly closed her eyes for a short break.

I'd better take a little nap, I need one sleep. (Inner Melinda)

Melinda sleeps with a position of hugging bolsters, usually she sleeps by hugging her husband's body. However, because her husband did not exist Melinda eventually became bolster as an object to make her sleep soundly.

“Andai Mas Raka who is here,” said Melinda lirih.

A few moments later.

Melinda woke up from her sleep when she heard the alarm on her cell phone. It turned out, it was soon time for Grandpa Almer to have lunch and take some medicine.

Melinda must now be more active in dividing her time, because now there is a Grandpa who must keep Melinda health so as not to relapse again.

The young lady rushed out of her room to immediately meet Grandpa Almer in her room. Upon arrival in the room, Melinda did not find her whereabouts and when looking about to get out of the room, Grandpa Almer came along with a servant.

“Grandfather where are you from? It's time for Grandpa to have lunch,” said Melinda who seems so considerate with Grandpa Almer.

Almer chuckled at Melinda's serious facial expression.

“Grandpa, why is Grandpa laughing? What would grandpa eat? Let Melinda make it,” Melinda said.

“Daughter-in-law don't worry like that. Thank God Grandpa just ate and now Grandpa wants to rest for a while. After that, take medicine,” explained Almer.

“Really? Grandpa didn't lie to Melinda, did he?” ask Melinda to make sure.

“If you don't believe, just ask auntie,” said Almer as he glanced at the female servant who was leading her.

At that time Melinda asked to confirm whether it was true that her Grandfather had eaten or not.

The lady's maid agreed, which means that Grandpa had lunch.

Melinda sighed and took over leading Grandpa Almer to lie down on the bed.

“Thank you, Grandpa. Already eaten on time,” said Melinda who tried to hold back her tears not to drip.

Lately Melinda has been looking pretty bad. It could be said, Melinda was very afraid of losing the people around her. Both of his parents had left him. If Grandpa Almer leaves the world, I don't know what will happen to Melinda. Because from the beginning, it was Grandpa Almer who welcomed him so warmly like his own family.

“Your grandfather is fine, grandson-in-law. Oya, how's Raka doing? Is Raka there okay?” ask Almer curiously.

“Alhamdulillah, Mas Raka is fine, Grandpa. Last Mas Raka had contacted Melinda,” replied Melinda as is.

“Thank God,” says Almer.

Melinda remained in Grandpa Almer's room, Melinda would leave after seeing him take medicine.

A few minutes later.

Melinda's smile expands perfectly when she sees Grandpa Almer just taking medicine.

“Look, Grandpa has taken medicine,” said Almer and opened his mouth wide so that Melinda believed that the medicine he had swallowed.

“Iya Grandpa, Melinda has seen it for herself. Now, Grandpa rested again. Doesn't Grandpa want to heal?” ask Melinda.

“Oh, of course. Grandpa must be healthy in order to see Grandpa's cute great-grandson,” said Almer and slowly lay down his body. Likely, the old grandfather closed his eyes.

Looking at Grandpa Almer who had closed his eyes, Melinda decided to get out of the room.

Just as Melinda came out of Grandpa Almer's room, one of the servants came to Melinda and told Melinda that lunch was served on the dining room table.

Melinda is not really in appetite. His mouth was bitter and his mind was also saddened unsettled. However, Melinda did not want to make the others worry. Hence, Melinda decided to have lunch even if it was just a few mouthfuls.

“Good, Ma'am,” Melinda said and walked towards the dining room.

Melinda enjoys her lunch alone and suddenly memories come to her mind. Melinda remembers vividly, the memories of when the three of them ate at the dinner table. There was him, the husband and Grandpa Almer.

I don't know when such warm memories recur. I must really miss the time to eat together with Grandpa and Mas Raka. (Inner Melinda)

Melinda chews her food very slowly, it feels strange to eat alone.

About 5 mouthfuls of tablespoons that entered his mouth, Melinda decided to finish her food. Her mouth was really bitter and made Melinda lose her appetite.

Melinda did deliberately take very little rice, she was also unlikely to waste rice.

“Mbak, I went to the room,” said Melinda who just put her former cutlery into the kitchen sink.

Melinda stepped her feet with heavy steps, her spirit completely reduced.
