Son-in-law Unwanted
Chapter 21 Go home to Daddy
"Where are we going?" Melinda looked at Candra who was currently concentrating on the round handlebar and the street in front of her.
"I just want to make you happy. Sorry because during this wedding I always make you suffer" Candra said with a forced smile.
Melinda knows how her husband feels right now. Honestly, this was not what he expected. Although she was injured even until now the wound had not dried up she still did not want the husband to leave the mother.
Melinda knew that the man's love for the woman who gave birth to him would never be replaced by anything.
"Mas, let's just go home. Kasian Mama was left alone. You'll feel guilty going like this anyway" Melinda said.
Candra pulled over the car she was driving. After that he immediately changed his position to look at his wife. The burly hand stretched out gently rubbed the head of Melinda.
"Darling, I know you're a good woman. For once can you not think of anyone else even if it is someone I care about? You have suffered enough. Don't make me feel guilty about this kind of good attitude of yours" said Candra.
Melinda held onto Candra's arm, the twinkle of the woman's eyes showing a wistful look, "Mas, you know what made me strong and last this long?"
Candra shook her head.
"Because, Mama. Even though she's not being nice to me, but sometimes I feel like she loves me so much, what more of the affection Mama showed you, I think as long as I can survive I'll get that affection," melinda.
"Dear, your heart is very noble. Sorry I never believed you." Candra's hand that had rubbed the top of Melinda's head now moved to the cheek of the wife stroking gently there.
Seeing the husband had softened Melinda wanted to once again try to convince the husband to want to return home.
"So, Mas. Do you want to come back?"
Unfortunately what Melinda expected did not match the reality, Candra's hand was attracted and the man's gaze was also fixed forward.
"I can't decide at the moment. But I'll think of everything. Ow, yes, when I first got married I promised you to be fair to stay at Dad's house once a week. To this day, I have not kept my promise. So now can I keep it?" ask Candra.
Hearing the words of the husband who disturbs the father, the woman's longing is now suddenly arisen. Yes, since marriage he has never sent a message even he never knew the news of the father. Really Melinda feels so guilty, why did she easily forget her father—Santoso?
"Mas, want to take me home?" asked Melinda innocently.
"Yes, I want to stay at Dad's house for a while before I decide everything. Anyway I know you must miss him. I'm sorry I forgot what it meant in your life" Candra said.
Melinda shook her head strongly, "It's okay, Mas. I was also wrong to never say what I wanted. I also forgot Santoso's father. If Mas wants to take me home I won't turn him down again."
Candra smiles at Melinda's words, thinking Melinda will refuse and insisting on wanting to return to Pagalo's house. This is also what makes Candra now eliminate what Cici said about Melinda who is said to have the syndrome to become an impromptu rich person.
"We're leaving" said Candra excitedly.
Candra splits the road at a slow pace to the city of Bogor, where the house that had been occupied by Melinda and her father. Sometimes the man glanced at the wife who had fallen asleep after telling a long story about their past while dating.
The long journey finally got to the finish as well. At this time Candra's car has stopped its place in Melinda's yard. The sheets, and the courtyard so dirty with dried leaves scattered on the floor made Candra's forehead wrinkle. He woke up his wife.
"Honey has arrived" said Candra patting Melinda's thigh to wake up.
"It seems you're very tired. I'll carry your body inside." Candra smiled as she put away a few strands of hair that covered the face of the wife.
After being satisfied to see the wife who never bored him. Now Candra got out of the car and opened the car door to lift the wife. However, not yet he managed to lift the body of the wife, he saw a group of eyes with plump fur crashing before long and open perfectly.
"We've arrived yet? Why didn't you wake me?" ask Melinda feels guilty.
If Melinda knew that since then she had been awakened but never gave a response would have felt more guilty, "I deliberately did not wake you because I wanted to hold your body like a newlywed."
Melinda chuckled, "You're all there. We're not newlyweds anymore."
"Let's just, want new want old, for sure I will always fall in love with you every day, every time, every minute even every second."
Melinda's face glimmered at the chattering that had just come out of her husband's mouth. He hopes that the speech is not just a wind then, honestly in a marriage it takes to fall in love every day so that the husband and wife relationship will remain intertwined.
"I love you so much, Mom."
"I love you more" said Candra.
Melinda could no longer help herself from being shy about cats.
"Come, come down lest I pounce on you here. You know I haven't had rations in a long time." Candra teases Melinda.
Melinda immediately looked around, she would be embarrassed if anyone heard Candra's words just now, she immediately floated a pinch in the stomach of the husband.
"Sick Sweetheart. If nyubit don't go down there a little bit."
"Mas, shame ...." Melinda immediately let go of the pinch and now she helped Candra down from the car.
"Why is dad's house so dirty?" asked Melinda who immediately got an answer from Candra by shrugging her shoulders.
Melinda became anxious, has something happened to her father? Not wanting to think much more, he rushed to the door and threw a knock repeatedly while calling the father's name, "Dad, this is Melinda. Deli went home Dad."
Melinda screamed repeatedly, but there was no answer. Candra who saw the anxiety of the look on his face immediately approached, "We go through the side door who knows who is not locked."
Melinda immediately nodded as they ran towards the side door. As expected the door was unlocked, Candra and Melinda went straight in.
"Dad!"
