Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 9

Approaching the wedding day, Melinda is preoccupied with a wide variety of activities that make her really tired.

Some of the clothes she had to wear to choose which clothes and dresses were suitable for her.

The servants and the others looked happy when helping Melinda prepare this and that. However, in contrast to Melinda who felt very claustrophobic when going to be a wife of a man she did not love at all.

As a result of the Father's actions, he was exposed to the stone and he was the one who endured all the suffering. Not to mention Raka who every day and every time made small pebbles scattered in her heart because of her very painful speech.

“Wedding candidate why reflect?” ask Almer who suddenly came.

Melinda quickly turned her face into a cheerful look because she did not want to disappoint Almer who almost every day looks eager to make her a legitimate granddaughter-in-law in the eyes of law and religion.

“What is Melinda thinking?” tanya Almer tries to figure out the reason for Melinda's depression.

“Melinda didn't think of anything, Cake. It's just..”.

“What's all? Try saying to Grandpa!”

“Actually Melinda has a friend..”.

“Then?” Cut Almer curious and want to know the core of Melinda's speech.

“May Melinda invite Melinda's best friend, Kek?” melinda asked hesitantly fearing not being allowed by Almer.

“Cannot,” replied Almer briefly.

Melinda took a deep breath and exhaled so heavily. He knew the answer and still asked.

Almer smiled at Melinda's reaction, Almer actually did not really reject the desire of Melinda who wanted to invite her best friend.

“Grandfather is just joking, Melinda wants to invite anyone okay. Just don't make a fuss at your wedding and Raka, understand?”

“Understanding Cake, Melinda says many thanks to Grandpa,” Melinda replied with such vigor.

“Don't say thank you too often, yes already. Grandpa will go to the office, soon your husband will come.”

“Still prospective husband, Kek,” said Melinda corrected Almer's words.

“Yes, two days later you guys aren't legal?” ask Almer who Melinda can't resist.

Almer left Melinda who was busy choosing the wedding dress she was going to wear.

After a few minutes, Raka Arafat came with her secretary who was always ready to push her wheelchair wherever she wanted.

Actually, Raka can buy a wheelchair that uses buttons without having to be pushed by her secretary or anyone else.

It's just, Raka does not like if her fingers are busy which she thinks is a waste of time.

I don't know, only Raka and God know.

“Welcome, Young master!” greet those who of course know the figure of Raka Arafat.

“You can go!” raka's order meant by him is to go and let him be with his future wife.

Melinda smiled awkwardly at Raka who kept staring intently at her. It feels, to be near Raka always makes Melinda's breath feel tight.

“Are you happy?” Raka was still as cold as the first time Melinda came home.

“Why did Mas Raka ask like that?” asked Melinda who did not dare to look into Raka's eyes.

“I came here to warn you about our marriage. Never behave like a husband and wife between us, your duty after we get married is to be my servant,” Raka said to remind Melinda, maybe Melinda forgot about her warning.

“Mas Raka take it easy, I was forced to accept this marriage because to make up for my mistakes and...”.

“Enough! I don't want you to reason about your father the thief, akhhh! Seeing you dressed in a dress like this disgusts me.”

After saying that, Raka went with her secretary who had been between Raka and Melinda.

“Can Mas Raka not say those disgusted words to me? I know Mas Raka hates me. But, can't it be thrown at me directly?”

Melinda cried in her wedding dress, hoping that her suffering would end soon.

But he realized, his suffering will begin soon after he and Raka officially became a couple.

Melinda immediately wiped her tears and called out to the servants to help her take off the wedding dress that would ensnare her for life.

“Which young lady wants a wedding dress?”

“This is it,” replied Melinda.

Melinda then took her leather sling bag bought by Almer and rushed back home in an ojek. For him, the motorcycle is faster and cheaper than a four-wheeled vehicle.

The 20-year-old girl did not care about the views of the boutique maids who kept watching herself from inside the glass-lined boutique.

Arriving in front of the gate, Melinda immediately gave cash of 50 thousand and rushed into the house.

“Gosh!” Melinda was surprised to find Almer sitting in the living room.

Almer who was busy with newspapers in his hands was no less surprised when he saw his future granddaughter-in-law coming home alone without his granddaughter.

“Where is Raka?” ask Almer.

Melinda is confused to reason especially in front of Almer.

“Mas Raka is...”

“With work you mean?” tanya Almer cut off Melinda's remarks which were clearly just an excuse for her grandson not to be scolded by her.

“You always hide the bad attitude of your future husband, in the future Grandfather does not want to hear reasons like this. Now rest! Later tonight your family will come for dinner.”

Melinda agreed and rushed to the room.

After a few minutes, Raka arrived with her secretary.

“Raka! How many times has Grandpa warned you, treat my granddaughter-in-law the best she can. If only, Grandfather saw you as being disharmonious, all of Grandfather's legacy would not fall into your hands,” Almer asserted to Raka who had just arrived.

Raka clenched her hand and was forced to agree to what her grandfather said.

It felt, he was eager to drive away and kick Melinda away from the house.

The more days Grandpa loved the disgusting and materialistic woman.

Actually, what's special about him! Grandpa threatened me like this. (Inner of Raka)

“Take me to the room now!” raka orders her secretary.

Almer shook his head at the behavior of his granddaughter who was so stubborn.

“Until when is my grandson this stubborn? Dear God, please give me a little more patience to face Raka,” said Almer and refocus to read the news in the newspaper.

Inside the room, Raka threw her work coat in any direction. He also threw a beautiful circular tie on the collar of his shirt.

“You as a man, do you think he looks special?” ask Raka to her secretary.

“Dia? You mean young master is young Miss? If from my point of view, young Miss is quite beautiful,” replied Reza as it is.

Raka grew annoyed at hearing the answer from her secretary. How could his secretary praise Melinda so casually.

“Do you want me to fire? I asked if you thought she looked special, and instead of whether she looked pretty,” sniffed Raka and ordered her secretary, Reza. To get out of front of him immediately.
