As promised, I woke Hendra up when he had not yet woken up as well a few minutes before the arrival of his coach. I smiled at his bald head. Why did I not think that it was that made it difficult for our daughter to recognize her?
But he is still the Hendra I love so much even though his appearance changes. The hair will grow back. In this way, at least the women who like to target him will stay away for a while.
After helping her change clothes, I helped her downstairs. His movements were already faster than usual, not as slow as the first day he was out of the hospital. Sooner or later, he could walk again without the help of a wheelchair.
My phone shook as I was just sitting in the practice room. I smiled to see the children doing what their father was doing. The official name graced the screen, I immediately answered the call. She screamed happily so I had to keep the phone away from my ear.
“Kak!! Pre-orders are closed at five hundred thousands! Congratulations, Brother! It's best first sale book Brother!!” the screams deafen my ears. “Printing is forced to prioritize printing Sister's books over the next few days in order to get the target of ordering.”
“This is all thanks to your help and all the teams that have supported my work, Official,”. “Tell me when there is something I need to do.”
“We will send a hundred books for Brother to sign. That's a bonus for the first hundred bookers. We will also give you a special pen, so do not use another one. They will contact your brother for more details. Congratulations again, brother! I need to continue the meeting. Until later,” he said girang.
I did not expect that by taking the theme of family problems, the enthusiasm of the reader is so great. No infidelity, excessive drama, only conflict between son-in-law and in-law. I only gave the initial five chapters for free as a promotion as recommended by the publisher, and the response of old readers as well as new readers is very good.
Five hundred thousands of copies were ordered and paid in advance on one special week for advance booking is a record for me. After many years as a writer, starting from writing a blog to being a novel writer, my hard work paid off.
Hendra's right. Just by changing the characters in my fourth book, the story felt different from the previous three books. I have to thank him for giving me that proposal. He is my best fan.
“What's up?” hendra asked as I helped her bathe and get dressed after therapy. “You from earlier look very happy.”
“The initial order of my new book closes at five hundred thousand,” I replied proudly. “You now have the wife of a famous writer.”
“Ah, surely the story is ugly again,” his taunts put on a sullen face.
“After the book comes, I'll give you one. Please read and attack me as you please,” I said confidently.
“It looks like you are pretty sure of your fourth book,” god.
“And I'm ready to write the fifth book. I've finished a few early chapters. Actually, I had great hopes for our departure to Europe. The character traveled there and met the man he loved,” I said at length.
“Shortly. This is not a story about infidelity, ‘kan?” asked Hendra full of search.
“No, dear. Well, you're neat again. We're going downstairs now?” I looked at her looking fresh after the shower.
“I'm sorry,” said Hendra slowly. I shook my head, not understanding. “Because of my emotions, we were forced to cancel our departure today.”
“It's okay, baby. You restore yourself, then we can leave at any time. Your health is more important.” I kissed his lips. “Come, we meet the kids.”
“Why are you in such a hurry to go back down? Don't you like being alone with me for a minute?” tanyanya. I laugh.
Alright. My curiosity can wait. I put my hand around her neck and kissed her lips. He smiled happily. His hands hugged my body tightly, unwilling to end our kiss.
When we rejoined the children, I immediately turned on the television. I could have read the news on my phone, but watching such an important announcement through a larger screen was much more satisfying.
I do not need to find it difficult to find a broadcast that broadcasts the news I am looking for, the channel I choose has presented the news that I am waiting for. The writing on the screen answered everything. The mayor was named as a suspect. Yup!
“Yes, geez, babe. This makes you want to go to this room immediately from earlier?” ask Hendra. I nodded quickly, then put my head on her shoulder.
“I want to repay you for what he did. After he is declared out of office, then Zach and Mr. Oscar will file our charges for the accident you experienced. I won't let him waltz free from the crimes he committed,” I said. I smiled feeling him kiss my head.
“Dicky was punished long enough for his actions. Eight years. I don't know yet if the judge will give Vivaldo a heavy sentence. Let's just wait. To be sure, this mayor will be severely punished for the layered article,” said Hendra.
What my husband said happened. As soon as the mayor stepped down from office, he had no power whatsoever. We can press charges and there is nothing preventing us from getting justice.
And this time, Vivaldo received quite a severe punishment. Seven years in prison. The most severe punishment came from his attempt to end my life on my birthday. Zach and Mr. Oscar really don't want to give him mercy.
“Mama is beautiful!” praise Hadi as I walk down the stairs. “Papa! Papa, Mama is ready!” He immediately ran towards the living room where papa and his sister were waiting.
Qiana invited us all to lunch at her house today. His first son had just graduated this morning. We all wear matching colored clothes, Dira's favorite color. Pink. Even Ara I put a pink ribbon around her neck.
Hendra came out of the room with Hadi in his arms and Dira in a sling, but that was not what made my eyes round. He walked on his own two feet, without the help of a cane that the last few days had been his walker.
I immediately ran closer. “Darling, what are you doing? You can fall.” I hugged her body and looked around me.
“Honey,” said Hendra with a smile on his face.
“Abdi! Liando! Please bring Hendra sticks,” I said when I saw them coming from the back of the house.
“Darling, I'm fine. Can't you see that I'm okay?” said Hendra. I looked towards him. He did not look sick or exhausted. I let go of my embrace and looked towards both of his legs.
“You can already walk?” I just don't believe it. She laughs.
“Surprise!” he said and Hadi simultaneously. Oh, dearGod. This is happy news.
“Congratulations, darling!!” I immediately hugged him. He laughed happily. I felt his hand, Dira, even Hadi embrace me. I lifted my head and tiptoed to kiss her lips, then I kissed my daughter's cheek. And of course I kissed my son's hair too.
“Come, we have to leave now before the food runs out,” Hendra invites.
The side yard of my best friend's house was filled with tables and chairs, also decorated with balloons of various colors. Hadi immediately took his sister and approached Zeph and Charlotte who were playing together. Ara followed them. I'm calm because the dog is looking after them.
Qiana invited so many people. Until the members of the board are invited. But what caught my attention were the handsome young men who I was sure were his son's college friends. Waah. I feel old in the midst of them.
The hand on my waist drew me closer, then I felt a touch on my cheek, and a lip landed on my lip. Surprised by the sudden kiss, I did not reply immediately. Once I understood that this was a kiss out of jealousy, I laughed.
“Honey, we are in front of a lot of people,” I said as he distanced himself for a moment.
“I don't care,” he said before kissing me again. This time, I responded with the same intensity. I wrapped my hand around her neck and forgot about the situation around us.
“You two are really. There are a lot of small children in this place, you guys are instead doing an adult scene,” protest Qiana who is standing by our side. Darla and Lindsey laughed. Hendra stopped our kiss but did not take off his embrace.
“Hendra, we are happy to see you can walk again,” said Darla happily.
“But I'm not happy to see you guys showing off your affection,” said Qiana feigned anger.
“You better take the food before it runs out,” Lindsey takes us all to the serving table.
The queue was quite long, but we used the time during the queue by chatting. We let Qiana tell us her first experience of accompanying a child at graduation. I will be the last person to accompany the child on graduation day.
Qiana provided a table where we could all sit together. The food served is delicious. One plate was not enough to satisfy my stomach. Hendra kindly went to the table to get another serving of food.
“I really hate you,” Qiana said. I just laughed. It's not my fault I eat a lot but my body doesn't get fat.
“Please, darling.” Hendra put a plate of food in front of me.
“Thank you, baby,” I'm happy. I was just about to spoon the food into my mouth when my stomach felt bad. Ukh. I feel like I'm gonna puke. Am I eating too much?
“Honey? You okay?” ask Hendra to worry. “Your face suddenly pale.”
