Wedding plans

Mala and Dicko finally reached Mala's house in the village at midnight.

Tok tok tok tok

"Before, who is it?!" ask Sri Sri beware.

"Mala Ma'am," Mala replied rather loudly.

Madam opened the door immediately. But, he was very surprised to see Mala did not come alone.

"Dicko, why did you come to Mala here?!" ask Sri's surprised.

"Mother, let us in first. We'll tell my mom later" Mala said.

"Yes, in and out. You guys get some rest."

Bu Sri held back his curiosity about Dicko's presence with Mala. In her heart she hoped for progress in their relationship.

Mala and Dicko are coming in. Because Mala was already very worried about the state of Gala, she just went to see Gala followed by Dicko. While Sri ma let one small family get together.

"Gala, is this mom, son? What are you feeling? Which one's sick, say mom?" ask Mala bertubi-tubi.

"Mother..."

Only that word came out of Gala's mouth. Dicko approached Gala who was lying weakly on his bed.

"Gala, get well soon. I'll take you to play in my office again. Aren't you happy being a boss? You'll be the little boss there," Dicko said, trying to get Gala excited.

"Dicko's father also came" said Gala weakly.

"Darling, we love you so much, get well soon, yes" said Mala almost crying but she did not want Gala to see her weak.

"Gala was happy to see Dicko's mother and father come," Gala said slowly making Mala's heart sad to see Gala.

"Gala, tell Dicko's father everything Gala wants. Toys, bicycles or whatever it is Dicko's father will give you" Dicko said excitedly.

Gala looked at her mother with a longing gaze. Mala could not hold back her tears that began to drip one by one.

"Gala wants mom and dad."

Gala's words left Dicko and Mala shocked. They look at each other.

"Gala, once you've recovered you can stay with Dicko's father like you used to."

"Mother too?" tanya Gala confused Mala.

After all this time, Gala's desire had still not changed. Father and mother and Gala.

"Well, I'll stay with you too. Gala's origin healed quickly yes," said Mala made Gala happy.

Even Dicko was happy even though he knew Mala might just want to please Gala.

"Yes, you go to sleep. Because the night is long. I'll just sleep downstairs" said Dicko, who happened to be Sri's mom, who had prepared a bed for him.

By dawn, Ms. Sri woke Mala up for congregational prayers. Mala remembered Dicko who was also not awake. Carefully, Mala wakes Dicko up. His soft hands touched Dicko's sturdy muscular shoulders. Dicko gasped in shock because for several years no woman had dared to wake him.

After finishing worship, Mala helps her mother cook in the kitchen while Dicko looks after Gala who is still asleep.

Finished cooking, Mala rushed over to Dicko to ask him to take a bath.

"Dicko, take a shower first. I've prepared a change of clothes for you. Gama's."

"certain. But, I want to ask you one thing."

"What, just say it," Mala said as she sat down.

"You said last night you'd stay with Gala and me. What do you mean?!" ask Dicko curious.

"O that."

"Just pretending? Mala, marry me."

"Do you think I want to live with you without status?"

Dicko smiled happily at Mala's reply. Status. Yach. That's what Mala wanted.

Dicko hurried away with a still-scattered smile. While Mala is relieved to have been able to open her heart to Dicko who is none other than Gama's ex-husband.

After a few days, Gala started to improve and was able to play back as usual. Dicko proposed to Mala in front of his mother. The wedding plan is waiting for Mala's father who is in a few days to go home to sea.

Their wedding will be held in Mala with a simple event. Dicko's company had little trouble and required Dicko to return to the city. He promised to come on their wedding day.

Mala's heart feels ungodly. Should he experience the same thing as 5 years ago. A long wait, one that ends in sadness?

But Mala is convinced by Dicko, the man who can finally make her open her heart to live a new world of marriage. Even though they are one person, their world is different.

And that is the love that is able to accept our partner in a different shape and form.
