MILLY
chapter 88. I love you. Marry me.

"What do you want to say?"

"What are your plans after this?"

"After iddah Milly's time is over. Dean will marry her, Ma," replied the steady Dean.

"How much longer is his iddo?"

"Another month, Ma."

Mama Dean nodded her head. He seems to be thinking.

Dean was silent, he was waiting for what mom would say next.

"That month, that's not a long time, son. That means you have to start preparing from now on, there's a lot to be prepared for later" suggested Dean.

Dean agreed with my mother's advice. He's got to have a serious talk with Milly tomorrow. She also considered what her mother was worried about.

"Start preparing from now on. But you have to be careful, mama's afraid that Vallen and his mama will mess things up. They will not let you be happy. Mama knows they're very cunning and reckless."

After discussing some things with Dean. Mama Dean came to her room. It was night, and his eyes were sleepy as well.

***

By morning, Milly was awake. Finishing the bath and tidying up his room, Milly went downstairs. He headed to the kitchen when he saw there was a bik Nah there.

"Morning, Bik," said Milly.

"Morning too, Miss Milly. Wow early in the morning already beautiful," said bik Nah.

Milly already knows the same bik Nah, when yesterday Dean brought her here.

"Ah Bik Nah can. It's cut into pieces too, isn't it, Bik?" milly asked as she picked up the knife and potatoes that had been cleaned from her skin.

"Ehh, no need. Let's just bibik. Milly's sister sat down. Or do you want to make tea?" ask bik Nah. He took the knife and potato out of Milly's hand.

"No, Bik. Let Milly make it yourself. Let Milly cut the potatoes" Milly said. He tried asking for the knife and potato again from the bik Nah. But Bik Nah still does not want to give.

"You make me tea, yeah, Mil."

Milly and bik Nah simultaneously looked at the source of the sound. Looked Dean standing there. His appearance was still a mess, typical of people waking up.

"Wild, only aunt. Mas Dean and Miss Milly just wait there," said bik Nah again.

"No, Bik. Let Milly do it, he says he wants to learn."

"Studying?" ask bik Nah wonder.

"Yes, Bik, study. Learn to be a good wife" Dean said.

Milly glared at Dean. While Bik Nah smiled while shaking his head. He was happy, seeing those two people. Dean always pranks Milly. While Milly was always angry but also blushed embarrassed when teased Dean.

"Yes, I want to pray first. When the prayer is over, the tea should be ready, Mil," Dean said.

Worth it, Dean is still tangled, it turns out he also has not prayed.

"Well, what's up early in the kitchen?"

Suddenly Dean's mom came from his room. He also prayed and took a shower.

That's how his habits are. Before Dean left, every morning, he would cook for breakfast. But as long as there's no Dean, he never does that again. Even though it was neat in the morning. He prefers to keep himself in the room. Usually read the Quran and also read books. Nik Nah will deliver tea and breakfast to the room. It was only during the day that Dean's mom would come out to sit in the family room.

"Milly, how are you in the kitchen? Loh, Dean, what are you doing in the kitchen early in the morning? Where is still tangled up" said Mama Dean astonished.

"You want to make some tea, ma."

"God, just excuse yourself. Why Milly?"

"Not Ma. I wanted to abudhu, Ma. Mau praying. Just ask for tea."

"Can be in the pavilion."

"The water's dead, Ma," said Dean honestly.

Dean meant it that way, but when he saw Milly in the kitchen, he stopped by first and beat Milly

"Yes, it will be fixed. Now you pray first there," drive out her mother.

Dean went straight away. Milly made tea for Dean and his mother Dean. He delivered to Dean's mom who was sitting in the family room.

Milly had a brief conversation with Dean's mother, after which, she returned to the kitchen to help bik Nah. Although it has been rejected Milly still forced. Finally let her.

"Well, it's fragrant. So laper," said Dean's mom. He approached Milly and bik Nah who was arranging breakfast at the table.

At the table there is chicken soup and also some other dishes.

"Milly's sister is cooking" said Bik Nah.

"No aunt, Milly was just a little help" Milly said.

"Well, where the hell is Dean? How come you're not here yet?" ask Dean's mom. He looked towards the pavilion but his figure was not yet visible.

"Wild, aunt, call first" suggested the bik Nah.

Just made Nah stand up, who was waiting to come to show himself.

Mama Dean narrowed his eyes when he saw Dean's look. He was not dressed in the office. But wear casual clothes. With a very dry haircut. He looks very handsome and charming. Mama Dean smiled, from the look of the child, he could have guessed, if Dean today would not go to the office.

"Just a message, it turns out to be dressing up," said Mama Dean teasing the child.

"Where is it, Ma? Dean sent Jeff a report first. Today Dean wants Milly out. Mama's coming, yeah," Dean asked.

"That's good, don't you guys. Mama will have business" said Mama Dean refused.

While Milly was silent, after all, Dean had not told himself that they were going outside.

"Yes, now breakfast first. Just left," said Dean's mom again.

Dean agreed, actually, he wanted to take Milly to breakfast outside. But at the sight of breakfast being made available, Dean undoes his intentions. He did not have the heart, because bik Nah has cooked a lot.

After the meal, Milly will help you wash the dishes. But bik Nah and mama Dean forbid. Mama Dean asked her to get ready, because she was going with Dean.

***

"Milly said goodbye, yeah, Auntie."

"Yes, be careful."

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikum salam."

After saying goodbye, Milly and Dean left immediately. Dean hasn't told you where they're going yet? Milly continued to urge him, Dean simply replied with a smile.

They've been on the road long enough. Dean pulled the car over. Milly looked around. But he did not find a place they would likely go. On the side of the road there are only trees left and right.

Dean got up and moved closer to Milly. He leaned his body a little. Seeing that, Milly slightly shifted backwards. Since it was dead, Milly covered her face with a palm.

"What the hell, Mil? I just want to put this on, Loh," Dean said. In his hand held an eye patch. He wanted to close Milly's eyes.

"Make what? Why do we have to close our eyes?" ask Milly. He tried to calm down. Though in his heart is still stubborn and also cursed his own mind. He was embarrassed, surely Dean would think otherwise of him.

"So, I want to show you something" Dean said. He started putting the blindfold on Milly.

"Why should it be closed? I'm afraid, Dean," Milly protested.

"You don't believe me?"

"Believe, but--."

"Yes, don't be afraid. Just briefly. We'll be there soon" Dean assured Milly.

Dean drove back his car. This time one hand held Milly's hand. He just lets go occasionally.

Milly couldn't protest, because Dean held her tight.

"Okay, it's here. You wait a minute, don't open it first" Dean said.

After that, Dean came down. He drove around the car to help Milly get off.

"Open up, yeah," Milly said.

Dean forbids it and says they're ready to arrive. Dean clasped Milly's hand, helping Milly to walk. Several times Dean gave instructions, so that Milly's feet did not stand on the wrong foot.

After walking for a while, Milly felt the air change around her. He felt the wind blowing across his face.

"Where are we going?" ask Milly.

"We've arrived" Dean said.

"Ehh, don't open it first" Dean said again. He held off Milly's hand that would open her blindfold.

"Let's count in your heart to three, after that you can open the lid," Dean said.

Dean no longer held Milly's hand. He had already set Milly's standing position.

"One, two, three."

Milly blinked her eyes, after she opened the blindfold. After that, he looked ahead.

Milly was stunned and amazed when she saw the scene in front of her. And the body that became stiff was when he saw Dean was already crouching in front of him. He brought a bouquet of flowers and an open red box. Inside, a necklace with a small, sparkling pendant, looked beautifully enthroned.

Milly was speechless. Even her eyes were watering, and Dean had not said anything to her.

"Milly, I love you. Marry me."

Tesss.

The water that had pooled in Milly's beautiful eyes immediately fell as Dean said that.
