Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 138

Raka and his beloved wife are ready to distribute basic food to people in need. If other people celebrate their wedding anniversary by going to tourist attractions or going abroad, it is different with Raka and Melinda. Instead, they want their very new wedding to be decorated with the smiles of people who really need help.

“Grandfather, we leave first. Pray for us so that the shot we want to share falls to the right person!” pinta Raka's.

“God willing, do'a Grandpa will always bless you both. Once again congratulations on your wedding anniversary 1 year later,” reply Almer.

“Kakek, although over a few months we also have to celebrate,” concluded Raka.

Melinda laughed as she hugged her husband's arm.

Melinda realizes that her husband is really tall, even Melinda looks very short when she is with him.

“Why look at me like that? Do I look weird?” ask Raka.

“Mas looks very high or I am short?” melinda asked with a sad face.

Raka laughed off hearing his wife's words and scrambled Melinda's hair until Melinda's hair became messy.

“Darling, don't be like this,” Melinda said as she fixed her hair.

“You guys, make kangen envious only. Grandpa also wants to feel young again if you see you guys making out like this,” concluded Almer.

Raka and Melinda throw each other a smile hearing Grandpa Almer speak.

“Young Master, everything is in order. Just leave,” said Reza to his Young Master.

Raka finally really got into the car to rush off to distribute groceries with his wife and personal assistant, Reza.

🌷

A few moments later.

They finally arrived at a location that is usually traversed by buskers, beggars and scavengers. The location can be said to be quite seedy and almost makes the car can not pass because of the amount of garbage scattered in the streets, the location seems very rarely passed by the rich.

“Honey, how about just here?” ask Raka to his wife.

“Iya darling, just here. It seems like this place is right to be shared with people around here,” Melinda replied and set her breath first to relax.

Raka asked Reza to immediately stop the speed of his car and at that time Reza pulled over right beside a hut that looked rickety.

Melinda and her husband got out of the car, Melinda's eyes glazed over to see how the husband got off without help from her husband's personal assistant.

Raka clenched and stroked Melinda's smooth cheeks.

“Darling, what's up? Why are my wife's eyes glazed over?” asked Raka with a voice so sweet in Melinda's ear.

Melinda hugged her husband and cried. Reza who saw that quickly turned his head in the other direction because Reza was quite awkward between the couple.

“It's a darling, don't cry anymore. Your husband is okay, the proof is that your husband can walk normally. In fact, it can run after my wife who is naughty,” concluded Raka who did not want to see Melinda cry.

“Sorry, baby, if I cry like this. It felt like a beautiful dream,” Melinda replied as she let go of her embrace.

Raka gently kissed Melinda's forehead and helped the wife wipe away the tears.

Melinda caught her breath and greeted her with her sweet smile.

“Come on, it's time we share this shot. Less than 2 hours, it has entered Maghrib time and we must have reached home,”, Raka told Melinda.

Reza opened the back trunk and at the same time there were two middle-aged women who were passing through the street.

Melinda smiled and gave the shot to the two women who happened to be crossing.

The two middle-aged women looked very happy and thanked Melinda repeatedly for giving them the much needed souvenir.

“Do we have to be photographed?” ask one of them.

Melinda quickly shook her head, there was not the slightest desire to photograph the person she was going to help. In fact, Melinda tried not to be known by people who know her if later she distributed them.

Raka also gave the sembako to every passing person as well as Reza who also helped the couple.

It didn't take long, their groceries had been distributed to people in need.

The satisfied smiles of the three were truly full of happiness for having given a little help to those in need.

“Alhamdulillah,” said the three in unison.

Raka pulled his wife's body into the embrace. Raka then, kissed his wife's forehead long enough. After that, Raka whispered the words that made Melinda's heart flower-bloom hearing what her husband said.

“Honey, thank you for today. You gave me a happiness that I cannot define with words. You're my wife for good.” Such were the words that Raka whispered in Melinda Anandi's ear.

“Uhuk... Uhuk...” Reza deliberately coughed, because he could not stand the husband and wife who constantly showed their affection. Reza even thought that this world did not belong together, but only to his Master and Young Miss.

Raka glanced in annoyance and finally invited his beloved wife to come home soon.

Reza smiled happily, he did not want to linger around the couple. Despite that, Reza breathed a sigh of relief because in the end her Young Master was completely in love with her Young Miss.

Reza suddenly remembered his old Young Master, who had said that he would divorce his Young Miss after all the possessions of Almer Arafat belonged to his Young Master. However, before that happened Melinda had managed to make Raka bend the knee.

Along the way, Raka and Melinda held hands tightly together. It was as if they did not want to be separated from each other.

“Honey, can you stop by?” melinda asked with a facial expression that made Raka not want to look away at his wife's face.

“Bby, my wife would drop by where?” ask Raka.

“You buy green mussels can?” asked Melinda who suddenly wanted green clams.

“Reza, did you hear what my wife said? Take us to the seller of green mussels which are certainly mature and also hygienic,” said Raka.

“Good, Young Master. Coincidentally I know a place that sells green shells meant by Young Miss,” reply Reza to her Young Master.

Reza drives the car at moderate speed, Reza hopes the place that sells green shells has not run out. Because the location that sells green shells is quite a lot of enthusiasts.

Almost half an hour, they finally arrived in front of the shop with a banner that read “Green War Pak Wandi”

Raka went down first, then followed by Melinda.

Melinda was quite surprised, seeing how many people were waiting in line to buy the green shells.

“Mas Reza, are we going to part?” asked Melinda who with a slightly disappointed facial expression.

“Young Mona just calm down, usually the stock here is quite a lot. God willing Young Miss will get the desired green shells,” Reza explained to Melinda.

Melinda gave a small nod and embraced the arm of her husband standing beside her.

Melinda agreed and lined up waiting for her turn.

Reza chose to wait in the car alone, it seemed strange if he was in line.

While waiting for Melinda and Raka's turn, the two talked and often they laughed together when discussing things that they thought were funny.

In fact, there are some who laugh because they hear the ridiculous conversation of the couple.

Who would have thought that Raka and Melinda were a couple. They look more like lovers dating.

20 Minutes later.

Melinda smiled broadly when she saw the green clams that were already wrapped neatly. Repeatedly Melinda inhaled the aroma of green clams that made her stomach hungry quickly.

“Honey, eat enough green mussels. Green shells are not good if eaten excessively,” said Raka reminded his wife to eat just enough.

“Mas Raka dear no need to worry, I know that eating green mussels should not be much,” concluded Melinda.

They got into the car to continue their journey home.

At the same time, Almer was sitting in the living room while staring at the photos of both Rafa and Raka's parents.

“The two of you are already happy in heaven? Your son Raka is now able to walk normally. In the past, I thought that Raka was really paralyzed, it turns out that your son was traumatized quite badly. Fortunately, your daughter-in-law Melinda made it a reason for Raka to recover,”, Almer said, speaking to both of Raka's parents who had died a long time ago.

A waiter slowly came over to Almer who was crying.

“Big Master, please don't be sad anymore,” he said and gave Almer a handkerchief.

Almer received the handkerchief and wiped his tears.

“Please, don't tell Raka or my son-in-law about this problem. They will definitely be sad,” pinta Almer.

“Big Master need not worry, I will not tell you this problem,” he replied.

Almer put the picture frame back to its original place and asked the waiter to bring it into the room.

After being in the room, Almer asked the waiter to read him some warm tea.

About 5 minutes, warm fresh tea Almer's request came too. Actually, Almer's not feeling well. However, he hid the condition of his condition because he did not want to make his biological grandson and granddaughter-in-law worried about his condition which according to Almer increasingly weakened by age.

🌷

Nightfall.

Almer's condition suddenly decreased and it made Raka and Melinda very worried. Inevitably Grandpa had to return to the hospital, although Grandpa Almer insisted on staying home.

Raka even cried begging for his Grandfather to undergo hospitalization at home. Not only that, Raka also told her grandfather that she and Melinda would accompany her grandfather while in the hospital.

“Grandfather, please understand our intent. We just want Grandpa to recover,” said Raka pleaded for Almer to be treated in the hospital.

In the end, Almer agreed, albeit by force.

Raka and Melinda breathed a sigh of relief, at least Grandpa was willing to go to the hospital.

“Young Master, ambulance car has been in front,” said one of the waiters.

At the same time, the hospital attendants came to take Grandpa Almer to the hospital.

Raka and Melinda got into the ambulance. Meanwhile, Reza, following the ambulance from the back with two suitcases that belong to Grandpa Almer, Raka and Melinda.

Raka continued to hold tightly onto Grandfather's wrinkled hand and prayed for everything to be fine. During the journey, all that was heard was the voice of do'a spoken by Raka and Melinda.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Grandpa Almer was immediately treated by a cardiologist.

It is clear that Raka seems very frustrated and although Melinda is equally afraid, Melinda tries to calm her husband down.

I don't know what happens if Melinda sleeps by her side. Maybe Raka has gone crazy because the condition of the Grandfather is getting worse and worse.

Raka bit her lips and subconsciously, Raka's lips spit out fresh blood. Melinda was quite panicked, but as much as possible she controlled herself and wiped her husband's blood with a tissue.

“Honey, relax. Grandpa will be fine,” Melinda said and clenched her husband's body tightly to make Raka know that there is Melinda who will remain beside him.

Raka gave a small nod and at that very moment Melinda let go of her embrace. Then, invite her husband to sit while waiting for news from the doctor who handles Grandpa Almer.

Reza came with two suitcases. Reza put the two suitcases right next to him and sat not far from a sad husband and wife.

Reza hopes that his great master can recover soon.

“Reza, you go home!” raka orders with a blank look.

Reza shook his head, it was impossible for him to go home when his Young Master was in quite a miserable state.

“No Young Master, let me here. I want to stay here to accompany Young Master,” explained Reza who seems very loyal to the Young Master.

Raka did not reply to Reza's words, his mind was completely muddled. Raka was very afraid of losing the figure of his beloved Grandfather who was very important in his life all this time.

“Mas Reza, thank you. May I ask for help?” asked Melinda who wanted to ask Reza for help.

“Of course you can, Young Miss. Is there anything I can help you with?” ask Reza.

“Please buy us drinking water!” pinta Melinda to the personal assistant of her beloved husband, Raka Arafat.

Without a second thought, Reza moved from her seat. In fact, Reza ran towards the canteen to buy the mineral water desired by Melinda Anandi.

Melinda felt a little calm, because there was Reza who chose to stay in the hospital to accompany her beloved husband.

“Darling, will Grandpa be okay?” asked Raka who was staring at Melinda blankly.

“Grandpa has gone through times like this baby, God willing Grandpa will be fine. God knows that we still need Grandpa to always be by our side,” Melinda replied to her husband and hugged her husband's arm quite tightly.

It did not take long, Reza came with two bottles of mineral water for Tuan Muda and his Young Master's wife, Melinda Anandi.

“Thank you, Mas Reza. Why buy only two bottles? then, Mas Reza doesn't drink? Or put it this way, this is for Mas Reza and me and Mas Raka will drink in the same bottle,” said Melinda who is still thinking about others, melinda was being tested for the disease of her beloved Grandfather.

“No need, Young Miss. If I am thirsty, I can buy it. After all, I am not thirsty right now,” replied Reza as it is.

Melinda nodded and opened a bottle of mineral water. Then, ask the husband to drink the mineral water.

Raka did not say much, the man took a sip of water given by his wife and did not forget to thank her for the attention of his wife.
