Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 83

Melinda kept quiet without answering her husband's questions. His feelings have been very disappointed with the behavior of his stepmother who turned out to lie to him.

“Why silence? Do you want to forgive your stepmother?” asked Raka when she saw Melinda who was just silent without a sound.

“Mas Raka, am I among the stupid women that Mas used to say? Am I really the weak woman that Mas Raka used to say so many times when I was confused?” asked Melinda who was a little upset because her husband's question seemed to corner her who could not reciprocate the treatment of her stepmother, Dina.

Raka moved her hand gesturing for Melinda to get close to him immediately.

Melinda walked slowly to her husband who was laying down on the bed.

“Sit down, why are you standing?” raka asked his wife to sit closer to him.

Melinda nodded small and obeyed what her husband said.

“Listen to me carefully and I hope you understand what I mean. Look, what if your stepmother and your sister did something even more cruel than this? You can forgive them. However, you must not just shut up and give up like this. Because if you continue like this, you are constantly oppressed by them and you need to know, I as your husband do not want my wife to be treated like that,” reveal Raka and slowly gently caress Melinda's long hair tied sideways.

Melinda looked at her husband without blinking a second. Raka's words immediately made her realize that what her husband said was true. And also, Melinda felt that what her husband said was a form of concern for her husband.

Melinda shed tears of joy because she felt that she was not alone. Apparently, there is a husband who is very attentive to him.

“Hey, why are you crying? Did my words offend you?” ask Raka who feels guilty.

Raka wiped his wife's tears with her fingers. Raka wiped his wife's tears slowly and with a gaze that again made Melinda love her husband more.

“Mas Raka, thank you,” said Melinda who increasingly shed her tears.

Raka was getting panicked and confused as well. His wife thanked him. However, instead of stopping crying the wife even more hysterical.

“Have not cried, you do not make me look like a bad husband,” said Raka trying to make Melinda stop crying.

Melinda chuckles a little to hear Raka talk things that of course tickle the stomach.

Raka came laughing to see how Melinda laughed like that.

“Are you okay?” tanya Raka made sure.

Melinda gave a small nod and went back to thank him because her husband had managed to console her heart.

Raka shook his head, he did not want to hear his wife constantly thanking him.

“Mas Raka, I don't know what else to say. However, Mas Raka's explanation had made me understand that I was not alone,” said Melinda and at that time Melinda tried to contact her stepmother who had lied to her about the Father who was in the hospital.

Melinda tried to contact Dina. However, Dina's phone number is out of range alias is not active.

“What's up?” raka asked Melinda who looked confused.

“Mother Dina's number is out of reach, Mas Raka,” replied Melinda and again contacted her stepmother.

Melinda constantly calls the phone number. However, the intended number is out of reach.

“If you can not, try to contact the spoiled child,” said Raka who is very lazy when calling the name Katty.

“Pampered child? Mas Raka's point is Katty?” ask Melinda to make sure.

“Katty is like that, Mas Raka. Even so, Katty is still my sister,” Melinda reply who is still being kind to Katty.

“Ya is right. You are one other father Mother,” explained Raka.

Raka asks Melinda to immediately forget what happened because in a few hours they have to wake up to be together. Melinda, who was already sleepy, finally decided to immediately sleep with her husband in the same bed.

Mas Raka, has Mas Raka not had feelings for me yet? If I could say it tonight, would Mas Raka believe my words that I love him? (Inner Melinda)

“I noticed, from earlier you were looking at me. Is there anything you want to tell me, Melinda?” asked Raka curiously.

Melinda smiled awkwardly and pulled the blanket over to cover her entire body. Except, the part of the head that he deliberately did not cover.

“Nothing, Mas Raka,” replied Melinda who looked very demeanor with her husband's question.

“Really? I thought you wanted to say something important. Because from earlier I noticed, it looks like you were thinking very seriously,” concluded Raka who was curious about what his wife was thinking.

“I'm not thinking about anything Mas Raka. Can I sleep first?” melinda asked and acted as if she was sleepy.

“It looks like you are very sleepy. In that case, we sleep first,” said Raka who apparently did not want to sleep.

“Why did Mas Raka say that? Mas Raka does not want to sleep soon?” ask Melinda curious.

“I will, you sleep first,” replied Raka and re-opened the book previously read by Raka.

Melinda nodded her head and decided to go to bed soon. Before Melinda actually went to sleep, Melinda said good night to her husband.

Raka gave a small smile and replied to the wife's good night.

It did not take long, Melinda finally fell asleep while sleeping on the side. Faced directly towards her husband who was looking at her.

My wife is fast asleep. (Inner of Raka)

Raka shifted her body slowly to get closer to his wife and unexpected things happened. Raka suddenly kissed Melinda's forehead slowly and luckily Melinda was unaware of it.

Raka touched her own lips and thought that what she was doing was a wish that just appeared to her.

I think I'm almost crazy if I keep going like this. Do I have to express my feelings to Melinda? (Inner of Raka)

Raka shut her mouth tightly and moved her body back to its original position.

Melinda suddenly woke up from her sleep because she wanted to pee. At that time, Raka became misbehaved thinking that Melinda knew what Raka had done to her wife.

“Sorry, I don't mean it like that,” Raka said apologizing.

The half-conscious Melinda just stared at her husband with a astonished look.

“Mas Raka is dreaming huh?” melinda asked as she got out of bed.

Raka sighed because it turned out that Melinda did not know what Raka had done to her.
