Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 130

Day after day had passed and Sunday after Sunday had passed. It does not feel like the husband has been 3 months in continental Europe, often Melinda has to endure her longing that is getting bigger and bigger.

Despite that, thankfully Grandpa Almer's health condition has improved. That makes Melinda's days a little more colorful than nothing.

“Grandfather, Melinda left for the company first huh. Grandpa just have to take medicine regularly and get enough rest,” Melinda said and kissed the back of Almer's wrinkled hands.

“Be careful, grandson-in-law. Excitement for today!” exclaimed Almer who also seemed excited when he saw Melinda who was going to work.

Melinda did not forget to say hello before getting into the car. Then, Melinda waved her hand as the car slowly left the courtyard of the Arafat family residence.

Melinda caught her breath before seeing the notification on her phone. That morning, Melinda will meet with one of the models who will be advertising one of Arafat's company's products.

“Pak, before arriving at the company. Please stop at the fruit seller's shop Yes Sir!” pinta Melinda's.

“Good, Young Miss. About 5 km away there will be a tavern that Young Miss wants.”

Melinda suddenly misses her best friend who is still in Aceh. Without a second thought, Melinda immediately contacted Ratna by making a video call.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Ratna. Oh my God, how are you?” asked Melinda who was very happy when she saw the face of her best friend who is now in Aceh.

“Wa’alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Melinda. Thank God I'm good, Melinda. How are you doing there? You look skinny?” ratna asked when she saw Melinda's cheek.

“Really? It seems like my diet worked,” Melinda answered the truth not because of dieting, but because of thinking too much.

“Are you on a diet, Melinda? Look at my body now, as long as I'm here I've gained 8 kg. It seems like my weight will continue to increase,” said Ratna and laughed loosely when talking about her weight.

“8 kg? I think you're very happy there, Ratna. So that your weight goes up,” said Melinda.

Their conversation finally ended when the car stopped right in front of the grocery store.

“Ratna, already yes. I'll call again, assalamu'alaikum!”

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” replied Ratna.

Melinda got out of the car and bought 2 servings of fruit. One for himself and one for Grandpa Almer's personal driver.

After making the payment, Melinda immediately got into the car.

“Pak, this one is for you,” Melinda said as she offered the fruit to the man sitting in the driver's seat.

“Thank you, Young Miss,” he said and received the fruit that Melinda bought.

As the journey to the company resumed, Melinda tried to remain calm as less than half an hour she would arrive at the company.

A few moments later.

Melinda's arrival was warmly welcomed by some business colleagues, Melinda with a sweet smile to reply to the welcome of some business colleagues.

“Gentlemen do not need to welcome my arrival like this, let's go in,” Melinda said.

When Melinda was walking with some colleagues who walked side by side left and right, mata Melinda accidentally caught the figure of Indri along with one of the models that will be advertising one of the company's products Arafat.

Indri ma'am? What are you doing Indri with Miss Dewi? (Inner Melinda)

Melinda continued her journey to go to the meeting room first. Then, meet the model Goddess who will be the advertising model previously chosen by the company.

🌷

Business colleagues applauded Melinda's satisfactory thinking. Although arguably very new to the business world, the ability of Melinda should not be doubted.

This makes Melinda more liked by everyone, including business colleagues who will work with Arafat company.

After doing a meeting, Melinda decided to meet Dewi who was in the makeup room to do a photo shoot.

“Hai, Miss Melinda!” Seeing Melinda who had just entered the makeup room, Dewi hurriedly greeted Melinda.

“It's ready, today?” melinda asked with a sweet smile.

“Because Young Miss has entrusted to be an advertisement on one of Arafat company's products, I will try to present myself as best I can. Thank you, Miss Melinda,” said Dewi who is very grateful to be trusted as a model of the ad.

Indri suddenly appeared and greeted Melinda.

“Hey, women's camp... I mean, Melinda,” said Indri and blinked one eye at Melinda.

“I think people who are not interested are not allowed to enter,” said Melinda who agreed her speech led to Indri who had absolutely no interest.

“Sorry, Miss Melinda. Do Miss Melinda and Indri know each other?” ask Dewi who does not know about the relationship between Indri and Melinda.

“Of course, I used to be a pretty close family. That was then, now no longer,” asserted Indri.

Melinda did not want if Indri made a scene, at that time Melinda invited Indri to come out with her.

“Mbak Indri what are you doing here? Didn't Indri have signed an agreement that in the future should no longer be around us. Why did Indri break it?” tanya Melinda gave a sharp look to Indri.

“Wah, so pretentious yes you. Just like this you were arrogant. After all, who would know if I broke the agreement? After all, Grandpa no longer comes here,” said Indri who felt safe because Grandpa Almer had never come to the company again.

“Do you think I'll just shut up? I can report you to the police for coming here and making a fuss,” Melinda said.

“Try it if you can, after all a village woman like you can call the police,” Indri reply that still underestimates the figure of Melinda Anandi.

“Alright, I hope you won't run,” said Melinda and pulled out her phone.

Melinda pressed the usual number to call her phone and before pressing the call button, Melinda first showed it to Indri.

“It looks like Indri Mbak knows if I hit this call button,” Melinda smiled cynically.

Seeing Melinda's face like that, made Indri stunned and at that time Indri decided to leave the company.

Damn, why was that woman suddenly so brave? I had to find a way so he wouldn't dare threaten me anymore. (Inner Indri)

Melinda caught her breath while touching her chest. Seeing Indri in front of him made him quite nervous.

One of the office staff approached Melinda and asked Melinda to immediately check the latest report. Melinda gave a small nod and hurriedly looked at the latest report she was about to deal with.

Melinda did not feel any difficulty with the data on the monitor screen. The young woman turned out to have expertise in the field of technology that made her easily fit in at the company.

“Pak, please bring me iced cappucino 1!” pinta Melinda to the office boy who happens to be mopping the room that is now occupied by Melinda.

“Good, Mom. Immediately I deliver,” he replied.

Melinda gave a quick glance at her phone which turned out to have shown at 13:15 WIB.

Melinda remembers that with Grandpa Almer at home, Melinda called the landline to ask if Grandpa Almer had taken the medicine or not.

“Hallo, assalamu'alaikum. Ma'am, it's me,” said Melinda.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Young Miss. Big Master has taken medicine and is now resting in the room,”, explained the waiter even though Melinda has not asked.

The housekeeper already knew very well, at such a time, Melinda would call just to ask if Grandpa Almer had taken medicine or not. If so, Melinda will ask if Grandpa is resting or not. Yes, that's how Melinda is, so considerate of the old grandfather.

“Thank God, it's already yes Ma'am. Wassalamu'alaikum.”

“Iya, Young Miss. Wa'alaikumsalam,” reply.

Melinda put her phone down and focused on the screen in front of her.

Indri entered a restaurant not far from Arafat's company. The woman was very unacceptable for Melinda's treatment which Indri said was very annoying.

“Quick here!” call Indri.

Indri's regret was even delegated to one of the restaurant's waiters who had just come to him.

“You've been a long time, knowing I came here. Quick, bring me expensive food as well as the best-selling food here. And another one, bring me melon juice!” indri order.

Restaurant waiters can only say yes while recording the food that will be enjoyed by Indri.

“Why are you still here? Hurry there, bring me food as soon as possible!” indri order.

Some customers who were there noticed Indri with a dislike gaze. For them, Indri is a village woman who just entered the restaurant.

“Damn, what's wrong with them? Why look at me like that? Oh, lest they envy my beauty,” said Indri who is full of confidence.

In about 15 minutes, a meal was served on his desk.

“What is your restaurant all done by people catfish? Cook this for a long time,” Indri said to the restaurant waiter who delivers food.

The restaurant waiter chose to remain silent to hear Indri nagging him.

“Please, enjoyed by Mother. Excuse me,” said the restaurant waiter.

Indri frowned, surprised to hear that the waiter called her Mother.

“What, does my face look so old? Very insolent, just look out yes,” said Indri.

Hungry Indri decided to eat the dish immediately. It turned out that the dishes served in the restaurant were enough to make Indri feel satisfied.

Fortunately, the restaurant here is very good cuisine. Try it if it's not good, I've thrown it away. (Inner Indri)

Some restaurant waiters began to talk about Indri in their kitchen, it seems they were also very upset by Indri's treatment which was considered less ethical towards the restaurant's waitress. Just because they were a restaurant servant, they could be insulted like that by Indri's mouth.

“Hopefully a woman like her was choking while eating,” said one of the waiters who was previously owned by Indri.
