"Didn't Mom look wrong?" ask Karin.
"Ma-Mama see what?" ask Gadlyn.
"You're dating Rakha? mama saw you guys kissing." Answer Karin.
Gadlyn is blushing. Even though she saw her own mother, she was still embarrassed. Meanwhile, Karin is looking forward to the answer from her daughter.
"Di-She said she loved me" Gadlyn said.
"Do you love her?" asked Karin who was replied by a nod by Gadlyn.
Hearing that Karin so sighed, with a slightly overcast face.
"Why ma? mama doesn't agree?" ask Gadlyn.
"Not disagree. Who doesn't like it and isn't proud, gets the son-in-law of the number one businessman in this city. But...."
"But why ma?" ask Gadlyn.
"Gadlynn. If you dare to love her, then you must dare to get hurt anyway. You know for yourself the background of his family and our family like the earth with the sky. Mama doesn't want to see you hurt in the future, because love doesn't work. My mom had a bad past with her family. Mama's afraid you're just being used as an outlet for her revenge."
"Mom knows that thought is very unwarranted. But mama just wants to warn you, don't love her too deeply. Fear when you are disappointed and injured because of him, you will not be able to rise again" continued Karin.
Gadlyn digested Karin's words that sounded reasonable. But Gadlyn was reminded of the words of Rakha who wanted to change into a better human being. Gadlyn becomes determined to trust Rakha even if only once.
"Give him a chance even once to expose himself. We don't know what she's thinking, but to be honest, even though we've only been dating for two days, I can feel that she really loves me. It's just that she's still too stiff, having no experience dating a girl" Gadlyn said.
"Hopefully your worries are unwarranted" Karin said.

"Honey-Honey. Will you accompany me?" ask Gadlyn.
Ckiiiittttt
Rakha suddenly ngerem Suddenly, until Gadlyn's forehead slightly bumped.
"Ohhhh," Gadlyn grimaced in pain.
"Ma-Sorry. Sick huh?" rakha asked while checking Gadlyn's forehead.
"Why are you suddenly? can be a taukkk woe," said Gadlyn with pursed lips.
"I-I want to hear one more word that you said earlier," said Rakha.
"Which word do you mean?" ask Gadlyn.
"That one. The first one." Answer Rakha.
"The first word? said darling?" tanya Gadlyn who was then embraced by Rakha.
"My dear. I love you" Gadlyn said as she pinched Rakha's blushing cheek.
Rakha as fast as lightning pulled Gadlyn's head. Rakha and Gadlyn kissed again, as if they had forgotten that they were on the side of the road.
"I also love you dearly," said Rakha stiffly who made Gadlyn so hold back her laughter.
Rakha glanced at Gadlyn with an annoyed look, as Gadlyn held back her laughter.
"sorry. You're too stiff. So from now on you have to get used to calling me dear, so that your tongue is not too stiff anymore" said Gadlyn.
"What did your ex call you?" ask Rakha who is back on her way.
"Dear too." Answer Gadlyn.
"Then I won't call you by the same name. It's good that I'm likened to that jerk," said Rakha, who was clapped in the forehead by Gadlyn.
"So what do you call me?" ask Gadlyn.
"I'll think about it." Reply Rakha avenged lazy eyeball round from Gadlyn.
"Honey. Accompany me yuk?" ask Gadlyn.
"Where? you just recovered. You better take a break" said Rakha.
"Aren't you going to visit the camer and tell us about our relationship?" ask Gadlyn.
"Camers? what is camer?" ask Rakha.
"Prospective in-law. I haven't seen papa in a mental hospital in a long time. You're not ashamed of having a boyfriend with a crazy kid?" gadlyn asked while looking at Rakha to see the expression of her lover's face.
"We're going there now." Rakha replied without answering the core question of Gadlyn.
Suddenly silent atmosphere. Gadlyn dissolved in her own thinking which had many questions in her mind.
"Can he accept my family's shortcomings? does he not love me for what I am? what is he thinking right now?" inner Gadlyn.
Gadlyn dissolved in his own thinking with his eyes closed. Rakha glanced at Gadlyn, and then revealed a faint smile.
After a journey of about 25 minutes, Rakha and Gadlyn arrive at a mental hospital. Gadlyn had not visited for a long time, the girl visited Galang about 3 months ago.
Gadlyn shed tears, when he saw Galang still with the same condition, as decades ago. The man was still pensive on the bed, staring at the plain white wall.
"Papa Gadlyn came. This time Gadlyn did not come alone, but came with Gadlyn's girlfriend. She's the first person Gadlyn brought here, her name is Rakha. We love each other. Papa gets well soon? Gadlyn wants to be married when she gets married, and she becomes Gadlyn's guardian. Hiccu...." Gadlyn sobbed while hugging Galang who was like an undead.
Rakha looked into Galang's eyes. Suddenly he looked towards her. The look of their eyes met.
"Honey. Get me some water to drink, I'm so thirsty" Rakha said.
Gadlyn wiped her tears and then nodded. After Gadlyn came out, Rakha approached Galang.
"I don't know why Om got so caught up in that bad past. For decades, Gadlyn has faced the obstacles of living alone. He was scolded, and also insulted everyone. Got mama in jail, while her papa's in a mental institution. Forget the bad old days, pity Gadlyn. I am the son of the enemy. Ezra Hawiranata and Marinka Diningrat. But I will try to be a bridge, so that our families can be united. My papa mama also no longer holds a grudge with om, because they have realized. They're too old to fight for world affairs."
"Conscious om. Poor Gadlyn, at least om do it for the sake of princess om. I'm also here to ask for blessing, we're officially dating now even though it's only been three days."
From behind the wall, Gadlyn could only keep her mouth shut, so that her sobs would not be heard by Rakha. But on the other hand, he is very happy at this time because Rakha actually loves him very much.
Gadlyn then left because he wanted to find Rakha the drinking water he wanted.
After saying a long word, Rakha decided to catch up with Gadlyn because her lover had been gone too long, she said. He didn't want anyone to bother him, especially the crazy ones. But when the man had turned around, the voice of someone was enough to make his steps stop instantly.
"Rakha Hawiranata's. That's your name?"
Rakha turned back, when she heard the voice of the man who said he was crazy for decades, and did not make a sound for decades, now she said with her voice. Rakha again approached the unkempt looking man by looking at each other.
To be continue...🤗🙏
