Marrying the Paralyzed
Chapter 49

After enjoying lunch, Raka has to go to her apartment for a gift from her beloved brother, Rafa Arafat.

“Kakek, it looks like tonight Raka did not return home,” Raka told her Grandfather.

“Why? Is there any important business in the company?”

“Kakek, Raka has not slept in the apartment for a very long time,” he replied.

“Then, how about the grandson-in-law?” tanya Almer turned towards Melinda who looked puzzled.

Melinda herself does not understand the apartment referred to by her husband and also the grandfather of her husband.

“My wife, tonight let your husband not come home yes,” said Raka trying to persuade his wife in front of Almer.

Please grant this wish. (Inner of Raka)

“Mas want to sleep in an apartment? What's wrong with our room?” ask Melinda curious.

“Look, your wife just doesn't seem to want you all the way from her,” said Almer.

Damn, why does this woman always have to ask so many questions? Can't this woman just say what I said? Never mind. I better take her. (Inner of Raka)

“My wife, because you don't want to sleep alone. How about coming with your husband to sleep in the apartment?” tanya Raka volunteered to invite Melinda to stay at the apartment.

Melinda doesn't want to go anywhere. If you constantly go there and there, Melinda is afraid that her body will weaken.

“No, Mas Raka. I am at home only,” replied Melinda refused subtly.

“Grandfather heard for himself what Raka's wife said?”

“Because the granddaughter-in-law has said it and does not want to come, well you can go to the apartment and Grandpa hope only 1 night.”

“Grandfather don't worry. Raka of course only last night, because if Raka feared for days Raka's wife was back adjacent to an ugly man,” concluded Raka glanced sharply at Melinda.

“You mean?” almer asked curiously and did not understand what Raka was saying. Raka's words were like a new riddle to her.

“Oh, the. Nothing to mean, Mother. Raka just wanted to talk,” replied Raka and laughed freely to drive away the awkwardness in the dining room.

Melinda was very curious about the reason her husband slept in the apartment. However, Melinda was unable to ask for fear of hearing words she should not have gotten from her husband's mouth.

I'd better ask Mas Reza about the apartment. Mas Reza will definitely answer my question. (Inner Melinda)

Almer had finished enjoying his lunch, as had Raka and Melinda.

Not wanting to waste any time, Raka decided to immediately go to the apartment.

Melinda wanted to ask about the apartment. However, it seems that it is not time for Melinda to ask about the apartment.

“I will spend the night in the apartment and you must not say bad-mouthing me to Grandpa,”, Raka told Melinda.

“Mas Raka, before leaving can I ask? Why Mas Raka should spend the night in the apartment?” melinda asked who decided to ask her husband directly.

“You want to know?” asked Raka coldly.

“Of course, am I wrong to ask?”

“That apartment is my 17th birthday present from the late Kak Rafa. Is it enough?”

Melinda felt a little guilty because she should not ask questions that could make her husband sad.

“Because you already know, please don't ask anymore. Now take me forward!”

Melinda touched her husband's right hand and kissed the back of her husband's hand slowly.

“What do you do?” raka asked in surprise when the back of her hand was kissed by Melinda.

“Mas Raka can deny the fact that we have become husband and wife. But I can't ignore our marriage. Let me be a wife for Mas Raka,” explained Melinda who decided to accept and try to be a good wife for her husband.

“Until this second I still cannot accept your presence in this house. However, I decided not to make the agreement that some time ago I promised you,” reply Raka.

“Really?” asked the enthusiastic Melinda.

“Whatever it is, I will try to be a good wife for Mas Raka.”

“Enough. I don't want to hear what you're saying. Now, take me forward! Reza must have been waiting for me.”

The 20-year-old woman just smiled and took her husband out of the house.

“Mas Reza, please take care of my husband there,” Melinda told her husband's personal assistant.

“Iya..” Reza was surprised and immediately turned his head towards his Young Master.

“Why see me like that? You just ignore this crazy woman. Quickly help me get in the car!” Raka's orders.

Melinda slowly began to understand her husband's attitude.

It seems like I'm starting to understand what kind of person Mas Raka is. Alright, from now on I will try to make Mas Raka accept me and like me. (Inner Melinda)

Melinda waved at her husband who was already in the car.

“Be careful my husband.” Melinda continued to wave her hands while smiling sweetly.

Raka becomes misbehaved and asks Reza to leave immediately.

“Young Master's Face why so red blushing like that?” reza asked to tease her Young Master.

“Stop looking at me, focus ahead.”

Raka touched her cheek which felt hot.

“Am I sick? Looks like I'm fine,” said Raka monologued.

“Iya, Young Master. The Young Master said something?” asked Reza who faintly heard her Young Master speak.

“I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to myself,”.

Reza gave a small nod and refocused on the highway before him.

Melinda smiled happily and hoped her relationship with her husband would progress.

“Ehem... Grandpa attention, the granddaughter-in-law from earlier smiled to herself. Can you tell why Granddaughter-in-law is smiling?” asked Almer curious who turned out to be beside Melinda.

Melinda was wrongly asked by the old man who was standing right next to her.

“Are the grandchildren interested in Grandpa's Grandchildren? Grandpa knows that your marriage is under the coercion of Grandpa. Grandpa hopes Grandson son-in-law has feelings for Granddaughter Grandpa, raka.”

“Hmm.. Actually Melinda started to like Mas Raka, Grandpa. Although Mas Raka is fierce, chatty, baffle, haughty and..”.

“Haha.. haha..” Almer laughed off hearing how Melinda casually vilified her granddaughter.

“Defend.. Forgive Melinda, Grandpa. Not the intention of Melinda to vilify Mas Raka in front of Grandpa,” Melinda said and patted her own mouth.

“Grandfather likes the attitude of his son-in-law's grandson like this. Grandpa only ordered 1 thing, please accompany Granddaughter Grandpa until you are old. Grandpa entrust Grandpa's biological grandson to the granddaughter-in-law,” said Almer seriously.

“Kakek..” Melinda cried. For the first time, there were people who believed in him so much.

“Do not cry. You two are indeed destined to be a couple.”

Melinda wiped her tears and smiled widely.

“Grandfather, Melinda promised I'd always accompany Mas Raka. This marriage was originally a compulsion for Mas Raka. For Melinda, this is a form of responsibility. Melinda hopes that our marriage will always last until it separates us in this world,” Melinda explained.

Almer thanked Melinda for accepting Raka as she was.

“One more time thank you, grandson-in-law. Let's go inside, Grandson son-in-law should get some rest.”

It felt so relieved when Grandpa entrusted me. (Inner Melinda)

Melinda and Almer walk apart to their respective rooms.

At the moment, Melinda is so happy because she is aware that her feelings for her husband are truly sincere. Melinda does not care about the condition of her husband, according to him love is real and sincere.
