Love the Illiterate Girl

Hotel room

Chapter 64

The sunlight that broke through the window glass, made Cristian blink a few times. When his eyes opened he saw the clock on the nightstand, at 10:00.  There was something strange about this morning, he thought.

‘’This is not my room, then whose room.’’ Cristian got up from his bed and sat down while twitching his slightly dizzy head. Trying to remember what happened last night, why could he end up in a bed that is not a bed in his room. A shadow of Mala appeared before him.

‘’What happened last night, has Mala seen the behavior of the foreign man behind him?’’ Cristian started to remember the series of events last night. She smiled satisfied with her efforts, at least with the presence of Mala last night made her not have to bother explaining her husband's affair. My efforts were not in vain. With the appearance of Mala in that room for sure today they will have a big fight.   Cristian smiled obliquely, thinking his plan worked.

Cristian then went into the bathroom and began to clean himself, the smell of alcohol that was so pungent that Cristian felt nauseous and could not bear if he did not immediately clean himself. After cleaning up, Cristian just remembered something.

‘’Sial.’’ Cristian cusses himself in the bathroom. How not, he was cursing himself, who was so stupid. He cleaned himself, but he didn't have a change of clothes. Her clothes last night were filled with dirt stains, probably her vomit marks.

‘’How can I get a change of clothes now?’’

Cristian came out of the bathroom, and was shocked on his bed Mala was sitting waiting for him to finish cleaning himself.

Mala turned her eyes the other way, when she saw Cristian just coming out of the bathroom. And that made Cristian smile happily.

‘’Are you happy to look at my body Mala?" Cristian teased the woman before him because she saw a reddish hue on Mala's face.

‘’Don't be proud of you, you owe Hector an explanation last night. And you came messing it up, by hitting Bimo for no reason.’’

‘’I have the reason Mala.’’

‘’Then explain your reasons to Hector.’’

Mala got up from her seat, about to get out.

‘’Waiting Mala.’’ Cristian blocked Mala's arm, which would have opened the door to get out of this room. Fragrant soap on Cristian's body with wet hair, making Mala lulled for a moment. Mala quickly regained consciousness, and tried to undo Cristian's sturdy hand check.

‘’Let go of my hand Cristian.’’

‘’I need your help at this time.’’

‘’Do not like you Cristian, or I will shout.’’ Mala's mind was already confused. His heart throes the more he can't control. There was a feeling from within his heart that was now churning. But soon on the edge.

‘’Shouting then, so that all will think we are a couple who just got married.’’ Cristian said that made Mala's heart even more chaotic.

‘’Please help me for this time only.’’ Mala's mind is no good. What's more, Cristian only uses a towel wrapped around his waist.

‘’I can't help you Cristian.’’ Mala replied weakly, her tears will soon spill. Cristian who saw Mala's eyes now glazed glass began to unravel his hand checks on the arms .ala.

‘’I think you can help me, yes already if you can't.’’ Cristian began to step back, and lowered his head. Walked to his bed. 

‘’I can't meet Hector, with my situation like this."

‘’You mean?" Mala begins to feel sorry for Cristian,

‘’I mean, I couldn't possibly wear a towel to meet with Hector and that cheating foreign man.’’

‘’Name Bimo, Cristian. Don't you call him a cheat.’’

‘’Why do you defend it, obviously you were there last night too.’’

Mala was getting annoyed with Cristian's words.

‘’Mala.’’

‘’There's anything else Crist.’’

‘’Help me for this time only.’’

‘’I can't help you do something , disgusting to me.’’

‘’What do you mean by something disgusting Mala, do you think something very delicious is Mala.’’

Hahahhahaha Cristian laughed out loud.

‘’I really want it Mala, if you're willing to do it again with me. I miss you so much. Therefore I was desperate to follow the foreign man who is not very suitable side by side with you.’’

‘’Jaga talk you Crist.’’

‘’Knowledge of your tone, you want me.’’ Cristian walked up to Mala again, and hugged her waist violently until their bodies touched without any more restraints.

‘’I'll do it again with you Mala, wait until I'll get that foreign man divorced with you. Right now I only need you to buy me a pair of suits.’’ Cristian's whisper in Mala's ear, his voice so slow and almost inaudible it was able to make Mala's Roman feather stand.

"Mala tried to escape from Cristian's embrace, and tried to neutralize her mood. The hue of his face reddened instantly, making Cristian even more anxious to see him. After Cristian let go of his embrace, Mala turned towards the door and intended to get out of Cristian's room.

‘’Wait another ten minutes I'll have the waiter bring you clothes.’’ Mala said without turning to look at Cristian's face, trying to close her nervousness.

Cristian's heart rippled, feeling the presence of Mala who was still able to shake his heart. This feeling has not changed, this feeling is still the same as when he first met Mala. Long Cristian pondered his feelings for Mala. How to melt Mala's heart so she can come back to him.

Tok tok tok tok 

Cristian was shocked by the sound of knocking on the door. He rushed to the door and opened it. A hotel maid was standing at her door.

‘’Good morning sir.’’ The waiter handed Cristian a suit, complete with his underwear. Cristian received the shirt, handing the waiter a tip.

‘’Thanks ya.’’

‘’Sama same sir. ‘’ Cristian about to close the door.

‘’ Mr.’’

‘’There's what. Is there anything else missing?”

‘’No sir, but Mr. Hector and miss Mala are waiting for you in the cafe downstairs.’’

‘’Alright, tell them I'll come down and meet them when I change my clothes.’’

‘’Good sir, then I'll excuse you first.’’

Cristian then put on the clothes the waiter had brought. The size is so very fitting on his body.

‘’I'm sure Mala, surely you chose this outfit for me.’’  Cristian smiled to himself looking at his face in front of the mirror, while putting a navy-colored tie around his neck.

‘’You still remember my taste and favorite color. Of course you still remember, because you still have a taste for me.’’ Cristian's heart is growing more flowering flowers taste. When he finished, Cristian grabbed the suit on his bed, then immediately walked out of his room.

Cristian opened the elevator door, and pressed the ground floor button, where Mala and the others were waiting for him at the cafe which was close to the hotel lobby.

For a moment Cristian was glued to his place. Seeing everyone who was waiting for him at the slightly large table gathered.  There was clearly a happy look on Mala's face.There was no sign after the fight with her husband. Cristian was confused himself. Now they sit at the same table joking.

‘’I'm sorry Mala, I never made you happy. But I promise I'll make you happy after this. When our business is done with the foreign man.’’  Cristian muttered in his heart.

 Cristian stepped definitely towards their table. All eyes were on him, but not a single bit of Cristian was afraid.

‘’Please sit.’’ Hector said with his authority to Cristian.

 And he sat down before them. Cristian silently looked at them one by one especially at Bimo whose corner of his lips was slightly injured by his punch last night. There is a sense of pleasure in Cristian because he managed to teach a lesson to the cheating foreign man.

‘’Do you know why we called you here Mr Adiwijaya?’’ Hector started their conversation, and didn't want to buy any more time.  Cristian shook his head.

‘’What because I have hit this cheating man?’’  Cristian replied casually.

‘’ From where you know he is a cheat.’’

‘’I have the proof.’’   Cristian replied casually.

 “Proof what do you mean?’’

With his confidence, Cristian took his phone and opened the video he had recorded just moments ago. Plus some photos that show the affection of Bimo and Felicia.

‘’On what basis do you accuse them of cheating?’’ Hector looked back at Cristian's face.

‘’Ya because this foreign man is Mala's husband, and I don't like infidelity. And want to open the eyes of Mala's heart, if she has married the wrong man.’’

All the people sitting in front of Cristian looked at each other's faces. In the next second they burst out laughing – bahak. Cristian was increasingly confused to see the behavior of everyone in front of him. Instead of being angry, laugh at him. Mala was just silent and gulped down the drink that was in front of her expressionlessly.

“What's wrong?’’

Mala looked at Cristian's face with a flat face.

‘’Why should I be jealous of him?” Mala then moved up and stood up from her seat. He would rather leave their table. Mala really could not afford to sit with Cristian again there.

‘’Mala.’’

‘’Do not follow him, leave him alone.’’ Hector stopped Cristian's steps.

‘’Sit with us, so that we can straighten out the problems that are going on between you.’’Connect Hector again.

‘’Actually, I also hate you for your behavior in Mala's past. But I can see the light in Mala's eyes, as she looks at you.’’ 

‘’I can't deny that. But your mistake really made Mala's heart hurt for so long.’’

‘’And now I want to know how much you feel about Mala.’’

‘’Include him is Bimo, do you already know him well?" Cristian nodded his head again.

‘’You are sure you know him well, so you dare to accuse him of being a cheat.’’

‘’Iya I am very sure once, because I saw it with my own eyes.’ Said Cristian sure." Hector shook his head. And asked Bimo and Felicia as well as his wife Jasmine to return to their room again.  Cristian is confused by Hector's behavior. 

‘’You don't know Mala yet, and you know what your biggest mistake is right now?’’ Hector shook his head, staring with pity at Cristian.

‘’Your mistake is, because you are a stupid man. He made a mistake but couldn't admit and apologize. Don't blame Mala if she prefers to stay away from you, and take cover behind our backs this time.’’ They all left Cristian alone. Who was still sitting and digesting Hector's words just now. 

 Cristian walked back to his house. He wanted to immediately tell his entire heart to grandma.  “Grandmother can definitely provide the best solution for me.’’ Even though Hector's words were very offensive to his pride, Cristian tried to think about the meaning of the word for word Hector said to him. So Cristian prefers to be quiet, and not respond with emotion.

The Adiwijaya residence.

Lady Elisabeth was sitting with Miss Margaret, Cristian's sister, who had not been to her family's luxurious residence for a long time. After her marriage to Alex, Cristian has a beautiful niece. Name's Aleta. Aleta is a very cute little girl. Everyone loved her very much, just as they loved Elena. Lady Elisabeth was confused by Cristian's usual behavior Cristian would always return home, no matter how late it was. 

‘’Where were you last night, son. How not to go home.’’   Lady Elisabeth asked her favorite granddaughter.

Cristian could not answer, and only one tear drop in the corner of his eye that escaped just flowed on his cheek.

‘’You why Crist, tell brother what your problem is. Why did you become like this?” Miss Margaret approached her sister and hugged her tightly. Because he knows Cristian is a man who is easily fragile if faced with problems that he cannot find for himself the root of the problem. Ever since Mala left him, to be exact.

 Cristian just kept quiet, making Lady Elisabeth and Miss Margaret more and more asking what problem Cristian was facing.

What Cristian is facing right now. Cristian hugged his grandmother tightly, and mistress Elisabeth stroked her shoulders gently.

 After Cristian had calmed down a little, Lady Elisabeth began to ask him what had happened to her.

‘’You why son, is there any maslah until your appearance must be this shrunk.’’

Miss Margaret just kept quiet, and listened to their conversation.

‘’Mala net.’’

‘’Why with Mala nak?”’

‘’What happened to him?’’ Miss Margaret was no less worried about Cristian's words. Cristian finally told him all the events that were very disturbing at this time. Especially Hector's words that pierced his heart.               Lady Elisabeth let out a long breath.

‘’Perhaps the words of a person named Hector have a point also nak.’’ Grandma tried to explain to Cristian.

"Because at this time they are – people closest to Mala. Maybe they know Mala's past, and don't want to make any more trouble for her.’’

‘’And you are indeed right in the wrong position.’’

“Mean grandmother?" Cristian did not understand.

‘’Have you apologized to Mala? For a woman is better off losing everything than the child of her own flesh, her own flesh.

Cristian only realized, if since his meeting with Mala, he never apologized to Mala. Because he had done evil to her, and had no firm stand, Mala had to lose her baby .

" Everything wrong Cristian nek, if only that time Cristian lowered ego , maybe now Crist is happy together with Mala.’’ Cristian is really sorry about everything that happened. 

‘’That has happened, let it happen son, now you think how you can restore Mala's trust in you.’’   Miss Elisabeth told her granddaughter.

‘’I miss Mala so much, I want to meet her.’’ Miss Margaret expressed her longing wistfully.

‘’True too, if the sister who asked to meet, surely Mala will immediately agree later. Cristian's eyes sparkled at his brother's plan. And quickly an idea popped into his head.

‘’What is your plan?’’

‘’ Cristian want to make a surprise for Mala, as my apology to her.’’

‘’But what if Mala doesn't want you there?’’

‘’I will try to keep brother, until Mala forgives me.’’

‘’Originally you promise don't force it later.’’

‘’Good brother, I agree. Because if forced Mala will definitely stay away from me.’’

‘’Great, now you're really smart well.’’ Temptation of Margaret on her beloved sister.

  Finally after three days Miss Margaret got Mala's mobile number.

Drrrttt drrrt drttt

Mala's phone shook as she and Bimo were in the car heading to her office.

‘’Who called?’’ Tanya Bimo who is still focused on driving and accidentally looks towards Mala's phone that is on.’’

‘’Entah Bimo, new number like.’’

‘’Answer, who knows it matters to you.’’

Finally Mala shifted the green screen on her phone.

‘’Halo.’’

‘’Halo Mala, do you still remember me?   Cristian said you were already in this town. I miss you so much, can we meet later. I missed you so much, and so did my grandmother. I beg you.’’ Without a pause, Miss Margaret's voice is no stranger to Mala. Although they had not met and exchanged news for a long time, Mala knew that the voice on the other end of the phone was the voice of Miss Margaret.

‘’Halo Brother Margaret.’’ 

‘’Alright, I'll call brother later in the afternoon when I get home from work. We will meet after work well.’’Mala's voice sounded nervous, out of nowhere she could get her mobile number. But Mala could not deny, her heart also missed the grandmother of her ex-husband, as well as Margaret's brother who had been very good to her. They are good people who were once part of Mala's life.

‘’Well Mala, I'm waiting for you to call me later in the afternoon.’’ Miss Margaret hung up on him.

‘’How about sister, does Mala want to meet?’’ 

‘’Iya but later in the afternoon he said, after work.’’

“Thank you brother, I love big brother.’’ Cristian hugged his brother tightly.

‘’Who called you, Mala?’’ Bimo saw the look on Mala's face which was now becoming nervous.

‘’You why, is there a problem?’’ Bimo lowered his voice so that Mala would feel comfortable with his question.

‘’Nggak Bimo, brother Cristian just contacted me, he and grandma Cristian are very kind to me and now they ask me to meet him.’’

‘’Then?’’

‘’Actually I miss them a lot too, but Cristian's actions to me hurt me a lot. I can't seem to.’’

‘’Mala.’’  Bimo looked on Mala's face.

‘’That made a mistake in your past is Cristian, so why did his sister and grandmother get affected. What else do you say they are very nice people to you. What's wrong if they want to meet you, let go of each other's longing after a few years of not seeing.’’

‘’Can I do it?’’ Mala leaned back in her car seat and closed her eyes.

‘’Of course you should be able to.’’ 

Their car arrived in front of the company, where they started their work today.
