Love the Illiterate Girl

I'm Back

Chapter 58

Mala is too tired to accept the harsh reality of her life.

Slowly he opened his eyes, and looked around him.

Her morning routine was to open her bedroom window, and whispered "Good morning Kenny, good morning dear Devan."

Mala took a long breath.

"Good morning, Laurent."

He smiled at the newly emerging sun on the eastern horizon.

A little sense of relief in his heart.It seemed like he could already accept the reality he was facing.

Although it feels afraid, Bimo really said leave the past, and start arranging the future.

Mala smiled, but I don't know what in her mind.Smiling seemed to imply there was a plan that she wanted to do.

Mala went into the bathroom, cleaned herself.Once on her lips whistled softly.

"Good morning aunt."

Mala is beautiful with her natural makeup.While on her face still looks tired during this time spent crying.

But this morning, she was different.She Mala who returned to be a jolly woman with a smile that nourished the hearts of everyone who saw her.

"Oh my dear, come here.Auntie has prepared breakfast for you."

Aunt Fransisca looks happy with the arrival of Mala this morning, in the dining room.

Aunt Magda also took a seat for Mala to sit down.

The happy look on the faces of the two women really makes Mala happy too.

"Finally, after fainting for three days you realize also son.Bimo never once left you, he always took care of you morning until night.Just this morning there was an urgent call, he had to clean up something in his company."

Aunt Magda explained everything to Mala, but Bimo really cares about her.

"I'm sorry aunt, this has been troubling you all for so long."

Mala was sad.

"No son, don't say that.We all know you are going through your worst time.Believe that one day you will find your happiness."

Aunt Magda clasped Mala's hand in love.

Aunt Fransisca arranged all the food on the table, and began to allow Mala to eat her breakfast.

"I'm off to the farm now bi," Mala's camels to the two old ladies who still want to sing it like they're treating their own son to Mala.

" Aunty think don't go to work, son, rest first.Remove your true sadness, then you can go to work."

"No aunt, if I keep shutting myself up I won't be able to get out of my circle of grief."

Aunt Fransisca nodded, Mala said.If they hold Mala longer in the house, it will make Mala's mind more sad.

"Fransisca, let Mala go to work now", Magda's aunt asked Fransisca's aunt not to keep Mala from leaving.

"Well baby, if anything happens there or if you're exhausted there, come home soon."

"Relax aunt, Mala will always remember what she said."

Mala smiled and approached the two women before her and kissed their cheeks.

"Oh sweet," Fransisca's aunt felt she really had a child right now.

Mala's love for both is just like Mala loves Laurent's mom.

"I go first aunt.,"

Mala climbed into a car driven by a driver who was ready to take Mala anywhere.All had been arranged by Hector like that.

"Today we go to the farm sir."Mala asked her driver to drive her to the farm.

"Well miss."

All along the way, Mala just kept quiet while looking at the scenery outside the window they passed.

"Many people love me, why should I dissolve in my affliction.I must rise up."

"Mama, you have to be happy for Devan, Oma Laurent and Uncle Kenny."

Mala recalls her dream last night, Devan came to see her.

Her bright and happy face asks her to rise again to be a strong and resilient Mala facing trials in life.

"Mama promised you baby, you'll always be happy for you, for Uncle Kenny and for oma Laurent."

Mala's whisperings were almost inaudible.

🍁🍁🍁🍁

"ANGEL..?"

Bimo's eyes saw Mala's figure in front of him.Bimo was so surprised, he did not expect Mala was willing to come to the farm again.

Mala smiled towards Bimo, and immediately sat down in his chair.

Bimo approached him and tried to feel Mala's forehead.

He scrunched his forehead.

"You're healed?"

"Sure Bimo, all thanks to your kindness."

"Then I'm happy to hear it.But don't push yourself too much to work.Do what you can do, the rest leave it to me "said Bimo who is still worried about Mala's health.

"Bimo, I'm cured."

Mala smiled in response to Bimo's concern for her.

Mala started doing his activities in the farm.After that completed some financial statements.Today Mala increasingly able to do all the work under the guidance of Bimo.

"Udah wants lunch break, let's eat."Bimo invites Mala to have lunch together.

Mala followed Bimo and together sat in the dining room.

"Bug,"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm planning to go back to Indonesia."

Bimo scrunched his forehead.

"Why?"

"I mean, can't you just stay here?"

Mala smiled in response to Bimo's question.

"I've left my parents behind too long ago Bimo."

"But this is your home too."

Mala shook her head, though,

"It's enough Bimo, I've lost Devan.And because I'm also Kenny also stretched his life."

"I'll carry that guilt for the rest of my life.I thought that by following Laurent's mother's will here, I could be free from my guilt for Laurent's mother."

Bimo shook his head.

"So you're here because you think you can make amends for your mistakes with Laurent's mom?"

Mala nodded her head.

"But I guess, Mama Laurent doesn't think that's what you think Laurent's mom loves you so much, like her own daughter."

"Yes I know that."

"Then stay here."

"I can't Bimo."

Mala sat her head and her eyes could only look at her pair of legs that were so tired she continued to step without any direction and purpose.

Bimo shook his head.He realized he was not who could block Mala's path.

The two continued their lunch in silence.

Until the hour that came home, no one wanted to talk to each other.

At Gerardo's residence as usual Magda's aunt and Fransisca were preparing dinner.

They welcome Mala who just came home from work still with hospitality with such great love.They are just like Mama Laurent.

There is a sense of unbearability in Mala's heart to them if one day she will leave this house.

But she should be able to do it and decide tonight that she will speak to the two women whom she has always called aunts.Because they are both Kenny's aunts.

"A really good dinner."

Mala praised the cuisine of the two women in front of him.When they had finished finishing the food on their plates.

"Of course, my aunt always gives something special to you.Without asking your aunt will always make it."Aibi Magda looked at Mala with love.

"Darguably, I won't be able to feel it again."

"Why don't you baby, aunty always knows what you like.And aunty will always make it."

"I'm sorry aunt, but it looks like I'm planning to go back to Indonesia." Mala's face bowed sadly.She could not look at the two women in front of her.

"Don't baby, don't go anywhere.Stay with us.Aunt will definitely feel lost if you really go." Aunt Magda's face turned sad, and so did aunt Fransisca who confirmed her brother's words.

Hector and Jasmine as well as Bimo walked into the dining room.

"When we want to talk to you."

Hector and Jasmine then head to the living room, followed by Mala and Magda's aunt and Fransisca's aunt.

After everyone sat down,

"Bimo, give it to me."

Hector pointed at the map that Bimo was holding.

After receiving it, Hector opened it and thrust it into Mala.

"You sign this document."Hector's tone is slightly reigning.Hector's handsome charm and his cool and cuckoo yet high charisma .Showing the impression of leadership attached to him, making no one who can not submit before him.

"What's this?"

Mala grabbed the map not knowing what it contained.

"Read it and understand it."

Mala began to read sheet by sheet of documents in her hand slowly.Menciba understood the contents of the document.

Ten minutes long enough to read the five pieces of paper he had to sign.

Mala looked at Hector, Jasmine and Bimo alternately.The face was confused and in disbelief with what she had just read the contents of the document in her hands.

Mala then shook her head.

"It's not true, Hector."

"I'm not asking you to turn it down. I'm asking you to sign Mala's hand!"

Hector's tone was slightly suppressed a sign he didn't want to be denied.

Mala still did not fully believe what she had just read.

How not, the document contains the will of Laurent's mother's inheritance on her child.

The share of the Gerardo family-owned company to Hector Gerardo by 50%, his wife Jasmine 15%, and to Mala by 35%.

Mala felt this was not true, he did not expect this and it was not on his mind to get an honor from the Gerardo family for him.

Mala returned to shed her tears.

"It's not true Hector, I can't take it. It's not my wish, and I don't have the right to this."

Mala tried to reject him in a subtle way.

"Mala, do you think Hector will let you go back to Indonesia empty-handed?

No Mala, you're entitled to the inheritance Laurent's mother gave you.You've been considered her own daughter.You're Kenny for Laurent's mother."

Bimo explains to Mala in order to understand Hector's intention to leave Laurent's mother's legacy to him.

While Hector was still silent noiselessly seeing the reaction from Mala herself.

He did not expect a true Mala was not easy to accept the trust of Laurent's mother, while he had been a part of Laurent's mother's family for a long time.

"What do you mean by that Bimo?"

"I mean after Kenny's departure, you're the person Kenny loves the most.And whatever Kenny belongs to is yours too."

"But I still can't take it Bimo. To me my love and concern for Kenny and Laurent's mom is selfless."

"I know it's Mala.But you have to accept it." It's very difficult for Bimo to persuade Mala.So whatever her efforts but still Mala still doesn't want to accept it.

"Sign now or I won't let you go back to Indonesia !"

With a louder voice Hector ruled over Mala, because he knew Mala would definitely continue to reject him.

"You heard it was Mala.You chose to sign it or you will forever be trapped in this country.You know the power of Mr. Hector Gerardo in this place.It doesn't matter to us you don't want.Prepare you accept the fact will stay in the this country for the rest of your life."Bimo's slightly threatening words made Mala doubtful.

Bimo returned the document in front of Mala.

Mala looked at Magda's aunt and Fransicsa and they just nodded their heads in agreement Mala signed Laurent's mother's mandate if she insisted on not signing her hand,that means he will no longer be able to meet his parents.

Inevitably, Mala finally gave up.

Mala received the pen from Bimo's hand and slowly signed the document before him.

"Mala...Mala...do you have to get a threat first.Newly you want to receive the last will of Mama Laurent?"

Jasmine approached Mala then hugged her shoulders.

"Mama Laurent loves you very much, accept this as a sign of his love for you."

"Bimo told us of your plan to return to Indonesia.It so happened that Laurent's mother's lawyer just this morning handed over the last will to his son."

Mala was silent, though,her tears that could not stop flowing.She was unable to answer a word more to the people in front of her.In her mind there was only Laurent's mother who loved her very much.Although she had hurt Laurent's mother, she was already,with Kenny gone.

"Remove your tears Mala, feel your happiness from now on.Enough your life is full of sadness."Jasmine patted Mala's shoulder softly and wiped her tears.

"If you go back to Indonesia, Bimo will come with you.He will be your assistant later, and help you take care of the newly opened company in Indonesia."Hector stood up and took Jasmine home.

Without saying goodbye to her two aunts.

"What's wrong with the boy, this is not what it used to be."aibi Magda shook her head looking at Hector's departure with a flat face without expression.

"So, when can I go back to Bimo's homeland?"

Mala's voice weakly asked Bimo.

"After Gerardo's family lawyer takes care of all your new company's holdings in Indonesia.And we can be together will go."

Bimo explained to Mala, because according to his estimates it still takes two or three more days to take care of the letter needed by Mala.

"At the earliest in a week we can leave" he explained.

After that, Bimo asked permission to go home.

While Aunt Magda and Aunt Fransisca could only shed tears.

For the two old ladies, Mala was already like their own biological child.

Mala moved from her seat to approach the two surrogate women of her mother and hugged them tightly.

"Auntie, love you so much, son."

"Yes Mala knows it's aunty.Mala can always feel it."

"Now rest, it's too late aunty has to sleep."Mala then drove them to his room.

And he himself went back to his room.

Mala closed the door to her room.

He grabbed the picture frame on the nightstand and hugged her.

"Kenny, this is how much you love me. I'm not who you are.I always hurt you, but even though you've left you've never left your love for me.Even now, right now,I don't think I deserve it.I'm sorry Kenny I'm sorry."

Mala sobbed in her tears until she fell asleep in bed hugging a picture of Kenny.

🌞🌞🌞🌞

Mala's all paperwork was ready.Bimo took care of it for no more than a week, and it was in Hector's hopes.

"Is everything ready?"

Hector asked Bimo all the readiness of Mala's documents, which he needed when he arrived in Indonesia later.

"Yes, it's everything."

"Good work Bimo.Make sure Mala is well guarded there.Never let someone touch it."

"Relax the boss, I will always be loyal to be his personal bodyguard and assistant."

"Good.I want you to keep your promise.Although later you will marry someone's child."

"Haha..."

Bimo only responded with a laugh.

Because Hector already knows, it turns out that in Indonesia Bimo has been betrothed to a girl of his mother's family choice.

Bimo's father is from Mexico, while his mother is of Indonesian descent.

Bimo's father and mother have long been separated, but Bimo's relationship with his father and mother is still fine.

Hector has prepared a company for Mala in Indonesia.Automotive company branch for Indonesia.Since Hector's business is also one of them engaged in automotive .

Jasmine's idea gives Mala a chance to manage something new for her, and Hector agrees.

🍁🍁🍁

Mala's departure today, she was ushered in by Magda's aunt and Fransisca's aunt.

There's Hector and Jasmine.

Mala hugged the two women who had accompanied her life, loved her and poured their affection on her.

The tears of Magda's aunt and Fransisca's aunt flooded their cheeks.

"Mala will always remember you aunty.Thank you for wanting to be part of the Mala family all this time.Mala also apologized if Mala had made a mistake all this time."She hugged them one by one.

"Hector thank you, you've been very kind to me all this time.I apologize for all my mistakes all this time, which has troubled you a lot."

Mala could not look Hector in the eye and would rather bow her head as she spoke to him.

It was too awkward for him to stare at Hector's face that was so cold with no expression.

"Don't apologize Mala .From now on I'm your brother, I'm your brother, because you're Kenny for me."

Hector was no longer able to hide the sadness in his eyes.When saying the word he just said to Mala.There was a clear tear that fell on his cheek.

Without being asked Mala immediately hugged Hector.

"I'm sorry Hector, because I you've lost your brother."

Hector stroked Mala's head.

"I'm sorry if I've been presumptuous to think of you as my sister." she said flatly.

Mala shook her head, though,

"No, Hector, I'm grateful that you want to be my brother, I promise to be a good brother to you."

"Then, promise me.If you arrive in Indonesia don't forget to tell us."

"And seek your happiness, Enough is your sorrow."

"certain."

Mala broke her hug from Hector and wiped the tears on her cheek.

"Jasmine, thank you for being friends with me."Mala approached and hugged Jasmine tightly.

"We're not friends anymore now Mala."

Mala was shocked by Jasmine's words.His face stiffened for a moment.

"But now we are brothers.If you are Hector's sister I am your brother-in-law from now on."

The look on Mala's face returned happy and tightly hugged Jasmine.

"Thank you Jasmine, I will always miss you."

"Come, it's time for us to leave" said Bimo cutting off the conversation between them.

The Gerardo family's private jet is now ready to fly to Indonesia.

Mala and Bimo immediately got into the jet and prepared to fly to Indonesia.Yang became Mala's dream all along.Back to the lap of her parents who she missed so much.

🌼🌼🌼

It was a very tiring journey for Mala and their personal Bimo.Jet to land safely at the airport.

Mala and Bimo get off their private jet and head to the parking area where Bimo's man has been asked to pick them up.

When Mala and Bimo walked side by side a man stood opposite him.Kira thought his steps were already ten meters away.

Mala's heart beat felt so tight.

A face so familiar to him.

The man was still stunned, looking at Mala who was walking with a man she did not know.The tall and quite handsome man with a body that has many tattoos.Mala and Bimo steps closer to the man.

Three meters away Mala was about to approach the man.Tiba arrived a woman from behind Mala ahead of them and ran a little closer to the man and jumped excitedly hugging the man with a sense of happiness.

"Darling.."Beautiful women with sexy looks call the man with affection.

Mala was silent unmoved, continued to step with Bimo then passed the two people who seemed to be releasing each other's longing there.

Mala stepped in Bimo's steps towards the parking lot.

"*D*he has been happy with her choice."
