MILLY
79.I love u

"Why are you still staring at me?" ask Milly to Dean. Honestly, he was very nervous.

"You haven't answered my question?" answer Dean.

"Mmmm .. I'm like the suspect is being interrogated. Are you gonna let me stay up tonight? I've been very sleepy" Milly said.

Dean knew that was just Milly's excuse. He's sure Milly's evading. But he didn't arrest Milly. He knew Milly needed enough rest.

"Yes, go to sleep. I'm sleepy too" Dean said. Then he leaned his body on the chair.

While Milly was still unable to sleep, she noticed Dean who had already closed his eyes.

"Is my face so handsome?"

Dean asked with his eyes closed. Actually he hasn't slept.

Milly was shocked to hear Dean say. He shook his head. It turns out he was found out. Milly smiled then chose to close her eyes as well.

"Hallo, Ma."

"Hallo darling, how are you guys there? Is everything okay?" ask Adrian's mother. They're doing a Vidio Call. Adrian called.

"Good, Ma. What are Mom and Dad's news? Is everything healthy?"

"Healthy, Son. Mom and Dad should be healthy. We'll be home next month. We can't wait to hold the grandchild" said his mother Adrian enthusiastically.

Mr. Adria looked towards his wife. He smiled, Vania deliberately not shown on the phone screen Adrian sir. He was holding baby Milly, who is now the son of Vania and Adrian.

"Adrian, why are you smiling all the time? Where's vania? Mama wants to talk, mama wants to encourage her, so as not to be afraid when she will give birth."

Adrian shifted his phone towards Vania. So it shows a picture of Vania maam sitting on a mattress while holding a baby.

"Surprise ...," said Adrian sir.

"Adrians! Vania! What's going on, son?" ask his mother Adrian curious.

"Mama's grandson" replied Adrian. He took the baby from his wife.

"Huh ... You guys aren't kidding, are you?"

After being convinced by Adrian, his mother finally believed and immediately cried, finally he had a grandson, even faster than expected. They told her that her baby would be born in a month. But because of the unexpected events that Milly experienced, the baby was born faster.

Mama sir Adrian was very enthusiastic. He even decided to immediately find a ticket home, that day.

Mama Pak Adrian also thanked Ms. Vania. He was very happy, especially when he knew the grandson was a male. The baby boy will be the successor and heir to his family company later.

Ms. Vania hugged the baby tightly, after they finished making the Vidio call.

"Makasi, Son. You're here, saving your mother's household. You brought happiness back to our extended family. Mama promised to love you as sincerely as possible" said Ms. Vania. Then he kissed the little baby's cheek gently.

Mr. Adrian who was beside Ms. Vania immediately hugged his wife. He wiped away the tears that had dripped down his wife's smooth cheeks. Then switch to kiss his baby.

Finally he can feel the family intact, the presence of children in his small family.

Even so, in the depths of his heart, Adrian felt sad. He remembered Milly. He loved Milly. It's not easy to forget it.

That makes Adrian very messy.

Then Adrian looked back at the little baby. He smiles. Milly had already given him his most precious treasure. He promised to take good care of her and educate her as Milly wanted to.

"Bak looking for Dean's mas?" ask Wati.

He looked at Milly who had just woken up as if looking for something.

"Mas Dean has come home from earlier, he said he will come here again," continued Wati again, before Milly answered his question.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikum greetings," Milly and Wati replied simultaneously. They looked at the door together.

Milly shook her head. Dean's right, he's still the old Dean, still as confident as Milly used to be.

"Tid-."

"Yes, was Milly looking for Mas Dean?"

Deghs.

Milly glared at Wati. He was ashamed of Dean, but he would say no, but Wati cut him off.

Look, now Dean is smiling mischievously at him.

"Makasi Wat, you've been honest. I know that if anyone misses, that's why I came here quickly" Dean said again. He looked back at Milly.

While the ones that are glimpsed pretend not to know.

Wati asks Milly for permission to go home, it just so happens that Dean is there to accompany Milly. Actually, he was deliberately giving time to Dean and Milly. That was at Dean's request.

Before going home, Dean told Wati to have breakfast first. He bought it. But Wati refused because he was not hungry yet, Dean asked Wati to bring the food home.

"Mbak, Mommy. I go home first yes. I'll be here again. I'm pointing Milly yes, Mas. Don't whack?" wati said to Dean. He deliberately teased Milly. Dean also responded.

"Sip, nothing, just calm down. At most it will be pinched in a minute. That's wayward," replied Dean. It made Wati laugh.

While Milly pouted. He felt Wati was deliberately working with Dean to tease him.

"Dean, what is this?" milly asked as Dean gave her the little box. He hesitated to accept it.

"For you, keep it!" said Dean. He put it in Milly's palm.

"But why?"

"Is there always a reason?"

"definitely. There's no way you're giving it to her without a reason."

"I used to buy it for you. I've been keeping it all this time. Until anytime this will be yours," Dean said. He took the box back and opened it. He showed it to Milly.

Instantly the shadow of a long time ago, when Dean said his feelings, came back in Milly's head. And that made her shed tears.

Dean took the ring, then he clasped Milly's hand. He'll pin the ring on Milly's ring finger.

"Why, Mil?" dean asked, as Milly pulled her hand. Milly did not reply, but her tears kept dripping.

"I only give what's supposed to be yours" Dean said.

"Dean, I don't want to" said Milly.

"Why, give me the reason?"

"I don't deserve it."

"Only you deserve it. I'm not asking for your opinion on that. I made up my mind" Dean said again.

Dean no longer compromised. He will not accept any more excuses.

He tried again to pin the ring, but Milly held it back. He held Dean's hand.

No words came out of the mouth of the woman Dean loved so much. Only a sob can be heard by Dean's ears. Even the tears had washed his cheeks. His hand still held Dean's.

Milly's heart raged, fear dominating her even more. He does not want to be disappointed anymore. He knew very well that Dean loved him, even from school. Only, Milly was still traumatized and afraid to start opening her heart again. Especially with his condition now.

Unable to see Milly cry, Dean hugged Milly. He gave a place for Milly to put a burden on her heart.

"I love u you" said Dean again right near Milly's ear.

Without Dean and Milly realizing it, someone out there is looking at them with anger and hatred. He did not like the view he saw.
