Underage Marriages
Part 17's

Gabriel opened the door and entered with his hands a bowl filled with water and cloth to compress Rara whose body temperature rose dramatically from usual. He walked over to Rara and sat down on the side of the bed.

Gabriel pulled the blanket up to Rara's neck because from earlier he saw Rara constantly shivering in the cold. Rara was sick because of the constant crying and also due to the rain yesterday, even though at that time Rara's body condition really has not healed completely.

Gabriel placed the bowl on the nightstand and then turned again to face Rara who was sleeping comfortably. He lifted the woman's head and placed it on her lap. Gabriel took Rara's hair that covered part of her face and tucked it behind her ear.

Gabriel was speechless looking at Rara's peaceful face. Rara looks very cute and her aura of beauty adds up when she is asleep. Whether to start when Gabriel's chest if it is close to Rara always makes a rumbling crackle. But it seems to have been a long time and maybe before marriage, Gabriel did not matter even he singed a smile every felt it.

"You are beautiful Ra" Gabriel said, caressing Rara's face.

Gabriel took the bowl and dipped the cloth in the water and squeezed it into Rara's forehead. Rara's fever was slightly reduced than in previous days. When Gabriel was about to put Rara onto the pillow, her hands firmly blocked, Rara clutched her wrists. Gabriel panicked as he saw Rara's head on his lap continuing to move restlessly to the right and to the left. Sweat seeps like Rara was doused with a bucket of water.

"Ra wakes up Ra, oi Rara wakes up..." Gabriel patted Rara's cheeks but Rara never woke up. 

Five claps on Rara's cheek the woman woke up and then cried. He lifted his gaze and his netra met directly with the ocean blue eyeballs that calmed down making Rara a little able to exhale in relief.

"Why are you?"

Rara nodded in response. He looked blankly at the dim lights. He remembered his meeting with William in the dream, William says the last word goodbye and tells Rara to stay by Gabriel's side and live his days with the man and be happy.

Rara sobbed then tilted her posis facing Gabriel's stomach. He hugged the man's stomach and inhaled Gabriel's scent deeply. His hands were coiled around Gabriel's body, while Gabriel's hands faithfully wiped the woman's mane until Rara did not let out her sob.

"If you can't tell me, I'm not papa Ra. I know you need to do it yourself and make-"

"Rara went to see papa in a dream. Papa went by Rara. Kan whereas Rara loves the same papa, but why papa ninggalin Rara?" Cut Rara before Gabriel continues his words.

Gabriel smiled looking at Rara's body curled up like a fetus. He looked down and kissed Rara's head gently.

"Don't think so. Precisely your dear papa with you, so he died you. If you don't love Ra, maybe you've let you bleed out and die" Gabriel's thoughtful advice gives Rara an understanding that she doesn't keep thinking negatively.

"Let Rara who died rather than papa donate blood to Rara while papa again sick and blood drawn papa's condition is getting weaker." 

"Ra don't be that."

Rara took a breath then looked at Gabriel fiercely. His gaze seemed to be waving the war flag with the man. He does not like his desire to be blocked and his opinion is not approved.

"Gabriel doesn't understand Rara's feelings. Gabriel only knows Rara's nasihatin but Gabriel cannot feel Rara's position. Gabriel Rara is sick. Everyone is just sad but never understand.You say ikhlaskan, for Rara mengikhlaskan is not an easy thing, difficult for Rara. Not rich you guys who usually talk about doang but do not grouch." Rara poured all her heart out to the guy. He is upset with all those who keep telling him to give, what is easy?

Gabriel cupped Rara's cheek and brought her face closer. He looked in Rara's bead and smiled.

"And if you go then how different I am from you right now. Although you are the one who left then I am the one who occupies your position. I'm sad Ra you're gone. Your papa left it's fate. There are those who are sadder than you, Mama, and your father who are there who must sincerely leave everyone he loves and the rest of the world. And you just left papa one not with others. Your papa is the saddest Ra! You think life there is good? Not necessarily Ra! Moreover, you can't let go then your tortured papa is there not you!"

Rara cried not understanding her own feelings. He couldn't think for the moment, his brain was dead end. His feelings are mixed not necessarily want to be taken to where. Everyone shares dreams but real. Why does it have to be like this? Instantly Rara's face flushed red and her hands clenched tightly.

"It's all because of fucking Andin. If he hadn't fought with Rara, maybe papa wouldn't have died by now. Damn woman, she should have died...."

Rara got up from her bed. He wanted to get out of bed and return everything to Andin. But Gabriel hugged Rara from behind and shook his head so that Rara would not do that.

"Ra don't judge Andin at this time, let him get his recompense from God and the more entitled police. Andin has been imprisoned by Ra. If you want to blame me, blame me, because it's because I'm the Andin doing that to you."

Rara fell silent and did not continue her wish. If pushed back then the wrong one is himself, because he is the one who is chuckling near Gabriel. Rara fell silent and smiled wryly, indeed she was the cause of William's death.

Gabriel turned Rara's body and took the cloth that had fallen from Rara's forehead and placed it in a bowl. He put both hands on Rara's shoulders and they looked at the duration of time long enough.

"Hm."

"I want you to make an excuse for Ra's life" Gabriel said as he opened the bandage on Rara's head and smiled as Rara's head began to improve.

"Why should Gabriel whom Rara made for Rara's reason stay alive? Gabriel isn't in love with Rara?" Rara threw her face away from Gabriel then smiled smugly.

Gabriel did not reply he smiled seeing the scowl of Rara's face. Gabriel enjoyed that face that was smiling wryly. Gabriel kept watching until he was satisfied. When getting a look of wonder from Rara then Gabriel responded to the remark. Not with words but with deep kisses.

Gabriel took it off and looked at Rara's shocked eyes. He was about to kiss Rara again but Rara quickly closed her lips using her hands as a result Gabriel only kissed Rara's hand. He chuckled and smiled amusedly.

"Why closed?"

"No. Rara's lips hurt smelled mulu." Rara said accompanied by her reddened face. "Emm to Rara's question what was the answer?"

"When what do you want?"

"Gabriel love Rara!" Rara replied timidly but willingly.

"If that's my answer."

"meaning?"

"Well I love you Rara. I can't hold my heart every time I get close to you. I love you, I love you, je t'aime, sarathaeyo. What other language do you use to understand that I love you?"

Rara did not answer, she cried roaring at Gabriel's statement, which left her unable to hold back tears. He did not expect the person who did not want his presence to be beside him, now expressed love right in front of him. What's up with all this?

"Ga-Gabriel is serious, hiks-hiks."

"Ha'em."

"Youngpam..." Rara hugged Gabriel like she didn't want to let him go and Gabriel replied with a gentle swipe behind Rara. 

"Thank you."

"Together."

"So now we're dating?"

"Yes dating after marriage."

"Ha ha ha."
