Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 45

Melinda who had been in the kitchen, hurriedly placed the tray onto the dish rack.

“Yes Allah, why did my feelings for Mas Raka become like this? Why am I even saying things that are very clear, that our relationship is nothing more than a servant and Employer,” Melinda said as she touched her heart that was pounding.

Melinda tries to look okay with what she is feeling right now.

“I'd better go to the room,” said Melinda monologue and rushed to the room.

Raka who was still in the living room, felt strange with her feelings. Hearing Melinda's words a few minutes ago, made Raka quite happy.

What's with me? Why do I suddenly like what he says? No. gabe.

Raka shakes her head trying to distance the impossible thoughts and feelings she has for Melinda that have clearly made her suffer for their marriage.

Almer came back to his grandson who was now sitting alone without the company of his granddaughter-in-law.

“Where's the grandson-in-law?” ask Almer while landing his ass on the couch.

“Maybe in the kitchen,” replied Raka briefly.

“Raka, it looks like Grandpa should return,” said Almer because suddenly there is an important business that must be resolved immediately.

“Really? In that case, Raka will call Raka's wife,” said Raka.

Raka moved her wheelchair looking for Melinda who was out of nowhere.

Melinda was in the room and was combing her long hair.

“Meet Grandpa now,” said Raka who suddenly went into the room.

Melinda who was daydreaming, was surprised and dropped the comb she was holding.

“Astaghfirullahaladzim,” said Melinda gasped to see her husband coming in like a ghost.

“What's up? Did I surprise you?”

Melinda shook her head with an awkward smile.

“Come out, meet Grandpa now!” Raka's orders.

Melinda ran towards her husband and pushed her husband's wheelchair over to Almer.

“Daughter-in-law, it seems like Grandpa can't meet the request of the granddaughter-in-law. Grandpa should go home now and Grandpa promised, after your honeymoon is over, Grandpa will take you to dinner together at Grandpa's restaurant,” concluded Almer.

“Grandpa doesn't need to make such an appointment. Melinda prayed for Grandpa to get home safely,” Melinda said.

Almer smiled with relief at what his granddaughter-in-law said.

“Raka, Grandpa hopes you understand the meaning of Grandpa's words earlier.”

Raka just nodded little without wanting to say a word to her grandfather.

“It's time Grandpa came home, wassalamu'alaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumsalam.”

Melinda kissed the back of Grandpa's hand from her husband alternating with the husband.

Melinda leads Almer out the door and not forgetting to wave as a sign of their farewell.

Careful Grandpa, thank you for coming to see us. (Inner Melinda)

Raka glanced at Melinda who looked sad.

“Is that old Grandpa your Grandpa?” tanya Raka commented on the expression on his wife's face.

“At least I was treated very well,” bright Melinda.

Raka smiled wryly with the description of Melinda who was so laughable ears.

“That means you were never treated well?”

“I don't need to explain anymore. Hasn't Mas Raka seen it so far?” asked Melinda trying to look tough as if she was a strong woman who could not be oppressed anymore.

“Wow, what happened to your way of speaking? It seems, you learned very well.”

“I consider the words Mas Raka is a compliment to just,” reply Melinda and waltze away just like that.

Raka was flabbergasted in disbelief by Melinda's attitude that changed drastically in a matter of hours.

“Hey, did you listen to what he just said to me?” raka asked his personal assistant who was standing right next to him.

“Sialan.” Raka cursed and did not accept what Melinda had told him.

Melinda in the room was thinking hard. It seemed that she had to slightly change her attitude so as not to be constantly oppressed by her husband and family.

“It turns out this is how it feels to be a strong woman. However, can I fully behave like this?”

Raka entered the room with the sound of the door opening loud enough to make a sound.

Melinda was shocked and almost jumped out of bed.

“Go!” raka orders her personal assistant.

Reza excused himself and hoped that his Young Master could control his emotions to not say rudely to Melinda.

“What did you say earlier? Are you trying to oppose me?” asked Raka who felt played by Melinda.

Melinda cleared her throat trying to calm herself.

“Why is it still silent?” asked Raka coldly.

Slowly Melinda walked closer towards Raka who was looking at her so coldly.

“Have I offended Mas Raka? I think Mas Raka is smart enough to draw conclusions about my words earlier,” concluded Melinda.

Raka unintentionally glanced towards Melinda's trembling hand. Raka rounded her eyes and laughed loosely.

What's wrong with this guy? Why even laugh? Am I really that weird? It's true, I'm a pretty strange woman. (Inner Melinda)

“Already, I do not want to make people cry,” chirped Raka while moving her wheelchair towards the bed.

“Can I ask one thing?” asked Melinda who was very curious about her question.

“What do you want to ask? Hurry up and help me get into bed!” raka's orders are to rest.

“Will our marriage end in divorce? Can't Mas Raka try to accept this wedding until the end?” melinda asked him, asking him questions that would embarrass him.

Raka was surprised to hear Melinda's question which sounded so strange.

“Why? Are you starting to like me?” asked Raka curiously.

“If it is true that our marriage ended in divorce, may I work to make money and have a special relationship with another man?” ask Melinda.

Of course Melinda's question of a special relationship with another man is a way to provoke Raka's true feelings.

Answer my question, Mas Raka. I want to hear the answer directly from Mas Raka's mouth. (Inner Melinda)

“This kind of question? I think, I don't need to answer it,” said Raka.

Raka then yells calling her personal assistant to help her lie on the bed.

Melinda, meanwhile, could only remain silent with a feeling of shame.

“Why are you still here? Come outside! I want to rest and do not want to be disturbed.” Raka's orders.

“Alright, I hope the question I pulled back,” Melinda replied and waltzed away out of the room.

Reza went inside along with Melinda who came out of the room.

“How long was it? Let's help me move to bed!” Raka's orders.

“Good, Young master.”

Raka decides to forget the silly question from Melinda.

What is that woman thinking? What did he say, he wanted to have a special relationship with another man? Basic is insane. (Inner of Raka)

“Did you hear what I was asked a few minutes ago?” asked Raka who was already lying on the bed.

“You mean Young Master? I heard absolutely nothing. Except, shouted the Young Master who asked me to go into the room,” replied Reza as he was.

“Have it, forget it. Now go and don't disturb my nap!”

“Good, Young Master. Excuse me,” said Reza while walking backwards.

Melinda tried to calm herself down while breathing fresh air outside the villa.

“I shouldn't have asked Mas Raka about this strange relationship. However, I hope that in the future Mas Raka can like me,” said Melinda monologue.
