MILLY
chapter 30. I'm getting married to someone you like

After making sure Dean left his room. Mama Dean opened his eyes. He walked to the door to lock it.

Smiles spread on the lips without wearing the lipstick. She accidentally removed the usual red lipstick that always adorned her lips. It was done to support the performance of the acting pain that is being done.

Actually, Mama Dean's fine. Before that, Vallen came to Dean's mom's house. Vallen complained about what happened to him in Dean's office earlier.

"So, Dean called the security guard, to kick you out?" asked Dean's mom at the time. After hearing Vallen's story.

"Aunty, I left shortly after the security guard arrived. Shame on me, Tan, if it's right to drag that security guard."

"No way, Dean won't have the security guard drag you, auntie sure, he's just scaring."

"No Auntie, Dean could've done that. He was really angry. Moreover, I just told the office guys, if I'm Dean's future wife and we're getting married."

"Yes, later the aunt will reprimand him, you calm down."

"Vallen is not sure about Auntie, Vallen is afraid that later Dean will be angry with Aunt" said Vallen again.

"Loh ... Why should be angry with aunt?"

"So that was Vallen saying the same thing Dean. The aunt who told Vallen to say that Vallen was Dean's future wife. Sorry Vallen yes, Tan."

"Udah, it's okay. Let aunty find a way to keep Dean from getting angry and follow your aunt's words to marry you."

"But, what's the way, Tan? Vallen really loved Dean. Vallen just wants to marry Dean. Vallen didn't want to see Dean marry another woman" Vallen said sadly.

"Yes, aunty knows, aunty also wants you to be a aunt's daughter-in-law. Auntie feels it suits you."

After saying that. They were both silent, as if busy with their own thoughts.

Until finally Vallen gave the idea, so that Mama Dean pretended to be sick. Vallen was also the one who suggested, to remove Dean's mama's lipstick.

***

Now Mama Dean is happy, she's sure Dean believes strongly, if she's really sick. He felt that this time Dean would follow his mother's will to marry Vallen.

Then Dean's mom called Vallen to tell him everything.

****

Dean walked into the room feeling not okay. One side he wants to please mom, then married to Vallen.

One more side, she wants to fight for her first love. The love that Dean has not yet fully. But, that love was able to make Dean's days happy. He wants to realize his dream of being able to get married and live happily with Milly.

At midnight, Dean got out of bed. Earlier, before going to bed he had intended to do the night prayer.

Dean wears a sarong and a cocoa shirt. Not to forget also he used skullcap, then spread the peace, after the ablution first.

Very solemnly Dean perform night prayers. For so long he prostrated himself praying for forgiveness for his sins, and praying for both parents.

As well as praying and asking for guidance on the things that are currently troubling his mind.

"O Allah, not the least thought of by the servant, to offend the one who has bet his life, to give life to the servant.

But I am also afraid, I will do wrong if I marry someone who does not love. I was afraid, I couldn't treat him well.

O God, I just want to give Milly heaven on earth. The servant will also reach heaven in the Hereafter with his and our descendants.

Truly you are the owner of Milly's life, heart and body. Therefore the servant asks him directly to you, O Allah, amen."

As soon as Dean prayed, he only mentioned one name. May that one name which God will grant to be the soul mate of the world and the Hereafter.

So calm, Dean's heart when praying, until after it was finished, he was reluctant to leave the prayer mat.

Dean chose to lay his body on the bed. He slept there until morning.

*****

Dean awoke, hearing the sound of the adhan from the mosque's loudspeaker, not so far away, from where Dean lived.

Dean was quick to fulfill his two rakaat obligations. After that, he got ready to go to the office.

Today Dean plans to return to Milly's house first. He wanted to make sure Milly was back.

After reaching the first floor of the house, Dean went straight to the kitchen, where the mother used to be in the morning.

If Dean usually smells your cooking. This time it felt different. No scent of anything goes into Dean's smell.

Not only that, Dean also did not meet the existence of the mother. It's very strange according to Dean. It's not unusual for her mom to be like this.

Afraid of guessing, Dean quickly headed for his mother's room. Dean turned the knob on my mom's door. Then go straight in without calling her mother first.

On top of the bed, Dean saw his mother still lying down like she was yesterday.

"Ma, Mama's still sick, sorry last night Dean didn't come here again to check on my mom's condition," Dean said with regret.

"No, anything, son? Mama's sure you must be soaked for working all day."

"Is your head still hurting?"

Mama Dean just nodded his head.

"Yes, this morning you have to go to the doctor. Dean's going to the office. Let Dean know about the office."

"Mama's okay, you go to the office."

"No, Dean couldn't have left Mama alone at home."

"You go to the office. Later mama asked Vallen to accompany mama, you please go home quickly huh. Let somebody take Vallen home. Cassian she is, if you have to go home alone."

This morning Dean didn't want to argue with his mom. Right now, he would say the decision he took. Hope the mama will be happy to hear the news that Dean will convey.

Dean sat by the bed, next to his mother. Dean grabbed the mother's hand. With a sincere smile, Dean began to notice every inch of the face of the mother who still looked beautiful at her age who was no longer young.

"Ma ... Dean wants to talk to Mama, I hope you're happy when you hear what Dean's going to say."

"Dean is going to marry someone Mama likes. The man you think deserves to be with Dean."

Dean was silent for a moment before continuing his words. He wanted to see his mother's reaction first.
