90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

Accompanying Merry (Chapter 12)

I was lazy to respond to Arnold and walked out of the house just like that. But the next second I couldn't move because Arnold was already hugging me from behind.

"I want to be your girlfriend." Arnold said suddenly.

I'm confused why Arnold rejected me, why do I have to now just say I want to date me?

My body froze, unable to move at all. What Arnold said was true, or he was just kidding me.

Slowly Arnold let go of his embrace then walked in front of me and looked at me with a serious face. I don't know how to respond to it. I hesitated about what he said just now.

"Why do you seem to doubt. I want to be your girlfriend because I did it before I married Viona." Arnold's words instantly made me realize.

Why have I never thought before? Arnold is getting married and going out with me, of course, just because he feels sorry for me.

"No Arnold, I don't need to be pitied. I don't want you willing to be my girlfriend just because you feel sorry for me. Enough's enough! I don't want to." Say it with a heart that is trying hard.

In the end I rejected Arnold, but at that time I did not care about anything, the most important thing is that he wanted to be my girlfriend in the rest of my life which is only 3 months.

I then went home with the pain, not only from the heartache that Arnold created, but also from the cancer that gnawed at my body.

*******

This day I passed lazily because my body felt so weak. Until suddenly my phone rang with Merry's name calling me.

"Where are you?" Ask Merry across the phone.

"Home on. What's up?" I answered lazily.

"Are you able to accompany me in search of Hansen?"

I accepted Merry's request, even though my body felt unable to move. But I don't want to disappoint Merry. Anyway, I should have left the house. Instead of having to keep quiet while continuing to reflect and always think of Arnold.

This is where I am now, sitting on the porch waiting for Merry for a while. Until a car stops in front of the house. Merry came down and I was amazed to see him wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, his face smooth without polish.

I haven't seen Merry in a long time, he looks so pure.

She then said to me, “She never saw me dress up.”

From Merry's words, I understand that Hansen would not be confident that Merry looks too beautiful.

I think I better dress up simple. I went back to the room to change clothes that were not too flashy. I chose a white knee-length dress to look the same as Merry. But really, I can't lie to myself, wearing this simple outfit can't cover my elegant-looking aura.

Maybe I am too proud of my own beauty.

We both began our long journey towards a small town very far from the city of Ternate. We passed through a winding road, accompanied by a wide view of rice fields. Every now and then we passed through a forest so shady, trees covering the right and left of the road.

I rarely get a sight so greening. The air was so cold, it made me feel very calm. It feels so happy.

After much effort, we were finally able to reach this small town and meet Hansen.

I strengthened Merry, and she began to come forward to talk to him. Merry's eyes showed hope.

"Ha-Hansen." Greet Merry.

Hansen looked up then looked at Merry's face seriously.

"Who are you?" Hansen asked Merry.

Merry slowly retreated, unable to hold back her cries. He hugged me tightly.

"Hansen is often like this. Grandma doesn't know why. But, he had suddenly become a fool." Obviously Granny Hansen.

Merry again sobbed, her crying broke so badly. I hugged her, trying to calm her down by whispering a word of encouragement while stroking her back.

"Most importantly, we've been able to meet him. You calm down, we might still be able to treat it." I tried to encourage Merry.

After chatting for a while with Granny Hansen, Merry and I finally returned to the city feeling helpless. In the car, Merry was silent as his eyes focused on driving.

"Do you want me to drive?" Bargain me to him.

"Veli, I'm sure that if Hansen's okay, I feel like Hansen's just determined not to recognize me." That answer came out of my best friend's mouth.

I knew Merry wouldn't believe it if Hansen could forget it. But, I often hear people who have a hard impact on the head that can experience amnesia. Amnesia can also be caused by trauma. But I didn't tell Merry this, because of course he also understood what and how amnesia can happen.

"I should have died 8 years ago, my life was saved Hansen. I'm the one who should have been hit. But, Hansen saved me. If only he hadn't done that, I would have been sitting in a wheelchair with no legs or even dead. His heart would only beat and be happy if Hansen was still alive. But, when I saw her condition now, I was unhappy. I was suffering even more and she didn't recognize me. Only one thing will make me happy, which is living with Hansen." Merry told me at length.

"I'll be happy just like that. Definitely happy... Blissfully... Be happy..."

Merry repeatedly said the word “Bahi”. It made me get scared about what crazy thing he was going to do to get Hansen back.

Merry will lose everything if he goes after Hansen, especially the money. This time I have to help her get what will make her happy. With less than 90 days to live, I want to make the person closest to me happy.

But, is Merry willing to accept an offer of help from me? Moreover, he had once rejected my help subtly.

"A year ago, I put a card in front of your computer, you should have known it was from me, but you never asked me for the PIN.”.

Merry looked at me with a cut on her lips.

"Without asking, I also know how many PIN." Merry answered casually.

His gaze again looked at the road that was passing through the dense forest. He looks very serious.

Merry made me run out of words, she really understood me the most. No matter when my husband rejected me, my parents left me alone in the world, he was always there to support me.

'Merry you really are my best friend.'
