MILLY
chapter 86. still patient

Milly did not answer. After all, he also did not know what to answer. Milly was wondering why Dean's mom wanted him to stay here. Milly glanced at Dean who was also looking at her.

Actually Dean had told the mother about his desire to marry Milly. He told me everything. Not one bit of anything added or reduced Dean.

Dean did that so that later there would be no misunderstanding. Grateful that mom gave it all to Dean. His mother wouldn't have banned him if Dean himself had been able to come to terms with Milly's past. And Dean has his mother's blessing.

About Milly, the woman has not explicitly agreed to Dean's request. But he never refused either. At the meeting, Dean deliberately had not discussed it. He wanted to make Milly and her mother comfortable with each other first. After that, he talked about something serious.

"This time listen to mama, Dean. Mama seems to have to force Milly to stay here. Here mom can accompany Milly. You will also be able to always monitor Milly. Than your body here, but the mind elsewhere. Mama's worried, son. I'm sure Vallen and his mom won't let you be happy" Dean's mom reassured Dean and Milly.

***

Dean's mother noticed the name of the caller on her phone screen. He hesitated to lift it. It's been a long time since Dean disappeared, since then he was also expelled from the Arisan group. Where there is also Vallen's mother. Mama Vallen influenced the other friends to hate her. Until it ended up removed from the Arisan group.

And now one of his friends called him. Not because of anger or resentment because it was issued that made Mama Dean hesitate to lift it. It's just that he was trying to guess, what wind made his friend call.

"Hallo, Jeng Tiwi," said Dean's mother. He finally decided to pick up the phone.

"Hallo, Jeng Santy. I, I want to apologize, Jeng, for the past events. I made the decision without confirming the truth first."

"It's okay Jeng. I have long forgiven, Jeng Tiwi. After all I've forgotten all that" replied Dean's mother without any hesitation.

Honestly, the event will not be forgotten. It will always be remembered. How he who was then attending the arisan in a cafe, a place that has been mutually agreed. It turned out that he was not booked by another member. And sadly they say that Dean's mom has been removed from the gravestone. They blame him for making Vallen and his family ashamed.

Mama Dean was disappointed, even had a heartache. If he had already been expelled, why would he still invite him to come?

Why should he be ashamed in front of so many people?

That's when Dean's mom and all his friends broke up.

"Makasi Jeng, actually I want to apologize directly to Jeng Santy. But now I'm out of town. Besides, there's something important I want to tell you. Hopefully what the same says can help Jeng Santy. Think of it as a form of apology from me."

His friend said that Vallen suffered a mental breakdown because Dean did not want to accept it. He has been in hospital in RSJ for a month. But now his condition has improved a little, so he can get out of there.

And Vallen's mom said she would take the pain back to Dean and Milly. He won't let Dean and Milly be happy. It'll make Dean and Milly feel what Vallen feels.

That's why Dean's mother's friend asked him to be vigilant.

***

Dean clenched his hands after listening to the story of the mother. He was very angry with the behavior of Vallen and his mother.

Milly was shocked and pityed. He did not expect the consequences would go that far. Although Vallen often hurt him, Milly still could not bear to hear Vallen become like that.

Honestly, Dean agreed with my mom. It's just, he needs to listen to Milly's opinion. In addition to safety, Dean also paid attention to Milly's comfort.

"Davis agrees with Mama. It's just, Dean has to listen to Milly's opinion first. Because Dean wants Milly to be comfortable wherever she lives."

After saying that, Dean looked at Milly. But after waiting for some time, there had not been any response coming out of Milly's mouth. And Dean understands that well, Milly needs some time to think.

"Alright, but you should consider the proposal of the mother earlier. Mama just doesn't want anyone to hurt you."

Milly was moved by the story of her mother Dean. Only, he was still hesitant to decide.

***

Dean drove Milly home. Even so, it does not mean he will be out of supervision. He even intends to rent an apartment near Milly's apartment. So he could always monitor Milly. Even her mother agreed to it. It was Dean, until Milly could make her decision.

Halfway through, Milly's phone rang. It was a phone call from Wati.

"Who's calling?"

"Dead."

"Hallo, Wat."

"Hallo, Mommy. Where is Milly's mom?"

"On the road, go home. What was? Why is your voice like that?"

"Be careful, Ma'am. I was going to buy something. At the bottom, I saw Vallen's mother, Ma'am."

"Vallen's mother?"

Milly looked at Dean. And at the same time Dean also turned his head because he heard Vallen's name.

Milly shook her head at Dean. Then talk to Wati.

"You sure? Maybe you saw it wrong."

"I'm sure, Ma'am. But I don't know what he's here for? I'm just saying, Ma'am, just in case. Don't let me meet him."

"Alright, Wat. Makasi has informed me. You are also careful. I'll be there soon."

"Good, Ma'am."

Tut's.

"What's wrong?" ask Dean after Milly finishes calling.

Milly told him what Wati said.

Dean's marginalizing the car. Incidentally on the edge there is a playground. Dean took Milly down for a second. Then they sat in a long chair in the garden. Dean asked Milly to consider her mother's request earlier. He believes Vallen's mother is trying to find Milly.

"How, Mil?"

"It looks like I'm in Dean's apartment. God willing I can take care of myself. There is also Wati. I'm not good, if I have to stay in your house."

"Why? You don't like your mom?"

"It wasn't? I just don't feel good. Anyway, how long am I gonna hide? I also need to live my life. After this I also have to work. I can't stay like this forever."

"Why do you really want to work, Mil?"

"What kind of question is this, Dean. You know why I want to work?"

Instead of answering, Milly asked Dean.

"Money. All right, that must be your reason. I told you, Mil, you don't have to think about anything, it's all my responsibility. So I beg you, you agree with my mother's proposal."

Milly was confused, even though Dean had repeatedly said that, still he felt uneasy. Especially now that he's nobody to Dean. There's no obligation on Dean to take responsibility for his life.

Especially having to stay at Dean's house. He was scared and felt bad about Dean's mom if he had to ride there.

Dean smiled after Milly said what made him doubtful.

"Yes, we're married now" Dean teased Milly.

"Don't be weird, Dean. Don't start again" said Milly pouting.

"Not yet started, Mil. Still patient" Dean said. He smiled mischievously at Milly.

After that he laughed when he saw Milly's eyes glaring at him.
