The night is getting late. But Milly has not yet returned to her parents' home. Jamil and Laksmi look restless waiting for the princess. No word from their daughter. Even Jamil's call from unappointed as well.
Jamil was seen pacing back and forth in the central room. While Laksmi was sitting on a long sofa with her face bowed in resisting the grief. The middle-aged woman was so overwhelmed with anxiety, considering that the princess who had just returned was not usually like this.
Hearing the roar of the car that came over, Jamil and Laksmi momentarily stared at each other with glaring eyes full of signals. A second later the two smiled with relief believing it was her daughter.
"That must be Milly" Jamil said confidently.
"really. That's the sound of the car." Laksmi also chimed.
Jamil was relieved and immediately stepped towards the main door. The smile that had grown on the middle-aged man's face instantly faded away changed in shock.
The middle-aged man's body was fixated on the doorstep. He looked shocked at Milly who was closed in the arms of a man. He did not not know who the man who grabbed his daughter's body was. But the question becomes, for what he came after breaking his daughter's heart. Moreover carrying Milly who was unconscious.
"Milly fell asleep and was hard to wake. So, I took the initiative to carry it." Billy explained as if he knew what Jamil was thinking. "I'm sorry," he said later after seeing Jamil's face showing dislike.
For a moment the two looked at each other in silence. Even Jamil seems to still not be able to control himself.
"Can you show me where Milly's room is?"
Billy's question made Jamil jolted from the daydream. The man blinked his eyes and then nodded slowly. Looking back, he then said, "Follow me." He then followed Billy behind him.
Just a few steps of his legs swinging, Jamil again stopped when faced with Laksmi who was standing in the middle doorway with a face full of shock. The woman's gaze was fixed on the figure behind Jamil.
"Milly? What's wrong with her? Our daughter is why!" Laksmi urged Jamil while shaking the man's arm. As a mother, of course she was so anxious to see her unconscious daughter, even in the hands of a foreign man.
"Don't worry like that. Our daughter is okay. He was just sleeping really fast. You know how he is, don't you?" clearly Jamil to calm down while grasping his wife's fingers.
Instantly the middle-aged woman heaved a sigh of relief, then shifted her gaze to look at Billy full of gratitude.
As an educated man, of course Billy knows how to behave to someone he just met. Especially to the in-laws. The man with near-perfect physical appearance nodded politely and seemed friendly as a formality. And the middle-aged woman replied to him by doing the same.
"Hurry and get Milly's room ready now. Pity our guest has carried him too long" Jamil whispered to his wife.
"Room?" Laksmi suddenly rounded her eyes while silencing her open mouth. She then pulled Jamil's arm and pressed her lips against her husband's ear and whispered. "Are you crazy? Handing over your own daughter to a stranger just like that. Even directly into bed. How can you forget the customs of the east and make marriage a sacred thing!" he said it was full of emphasis.
Jamil was surprised. He glanced at Billy for a moment before whispering to his wife. "What are you talking about? Are you going to let your daughter linger in her arms?" he asked as he glanced at Billy motionlessly.
Laksmi immediately followed the direction of her husband's glance. "Ah, right too," she wrote later.
"I was going to take over our daughter, but my waist was twisted because last night you beat me all out" he said, winking. Flirtatious.
"Father," said Laksmi timidly as she patted Jamil on the shoulder.
"Ehem!"
Deheman Billy surprised both of them. Jamil and Laksmi turned to Billy with widened pupils. Somehow they could forget that someone else was there.
"Can we go to Milly's room, now?" billy asked half a reminder.
"Oh, sure-certain. Pity you have to lift heavy at night this late. Let's follow me."
Billy faintly read it, then stepped in when Laksmi had opened and allowed him to enter.
Laksmi again pulled Jamil's arm and took him a little away to discuss.
"Well, how can you let a stranger touch our daughter? What if the young man goes further with Milly?"
"Shall I forbid a husband to touch his wife?"
Laksmi was stunned to hear her husband's question. He immediately looked at Jamil with perfectly rounded eyes. His hand immediately moved shut his gaped mouth.
"You mean?"
Jamil nodded his head in response to his wife's question which was still flabbergasted in disbelief. The two then simultaneously set their eyes on Billy who was carefully laying Milly's body on the bed. He even brushed a piece of hair that covered part of his wife's pretty face.
"He is very handsome," said Laksmi with a gaze so fascinated. "How can our daughter get a perfect man like her?"
But a moment later he was stunned to remember how the man had hurt his daughter.
"Huh, but still he's the bad guy who just dumped Milly. I don't accept. This time he will get his reply," said the middle-aged woman with a haughty face full of anger. Then his left hand grabbed whatever he could without seeing it, and intended to make it a weapon.
Ignoring a pair of humans talking about him in the back, Billy bent his knees with his left arm resting on the edge of the bed. He was crouching right next to his wife.
Smiling softly, Billy rubbed the top of Milly's head gently and stroked his wife's cheek. He looks so happy to be reunited with a woman who is able to shake his heart.
Billy got up from the squat, then pulled the blanket and covered his wife's body to the chest. The man then turned around and stepped over to his father-in-law who was standing at the door.
"Can we talk?" billy asked the two in-laws carefully.
"Can!" laksmi replied quickly with a steady tone.
While Jamil was just stunned by the plin-plan reaction. Wasn't the two minutes of anger so tempestuous, and now where did it go?
Basic lady. Faced with a handsome man alone, her feminine instincts instantly thrashed.
"Come," Billy's friendly. And passed before his two parents-in-law.
"Please," said Laksmi. Then throw the AC remote that has been grasped since, stop making it as a weapon.
Jamil looked at his wife with a surprised face. Then pull Laksmi's arm to stop her who had already taken a step. "Mom" called.
"What the hell, Dad?" reply Laksmi with a slightly annoyed expression.
"What was your intention? Don't you want to beat him up and teach him a lesson? But now you're fascinated like this?"
"Dad, his face is too perfect to get my chastisement. Moreover, he was too smart to get my lesson. So I had to give up the intention before we would be embarrassed. After all he is a guest and our daughter-in-law, so we better give an extraordinary welcome," said the woman with a grin.
