Hello, your problem is the delay() function in your diaktifkan() function and in other functions.

The arduino IDE have an example under "digital"->"blink without delay". Look into the example and learn how you can create your program without delays. At the moment your millis() check have no protection against an overrun. https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay

Please build your complete program without any delay functions and you can see how it works together :-)

For example in your mFunc_para function you have set an interval to call this function every 100 ms. You can create a variable which counts the calls. Set the variable in the function setup to zero like in this example:

uint8_t g_your_counter_variable = 0;

// =====================================================================
void mFunc_para(uint8_t param)
// *********************************************************************
{
  if(LCDML.FUNC_setup())          // ****** SETUP *********
  {

    //char buf[20];
    //sprintf (buf, "Mode : %d", param);

    LCDML.FUNC_setLoopInterval(100);  // starts a trigger event for the loop function every 100 milliseconds

    g_your_counter_variable = 0;
  }

  if(LCDML.FUNC_loop())          // ****** LOOP *********
  {
    // For example
    switch(param)
    {
      case 1:
        // do something
          if(g_your_counter_variable == 0)
          {
            lcd.setCursor(0,0);
            lcd.print(F("Berhasil"));
            lcd.setCursor(0,1);
            lcd.print(F("Diaktifkan"));
            digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
          }
          else if(g_your_counter_variable >= 9)
          {         
            //diaktifkan();
            LCDML.FUNC_goBackToMenu();
          }
        break;

      case 2:
        // do something
          if(g_your_counter_variable == 0)
          {
            lcd.setCursor(0,0);
            lcd.print(F("Berhasil"));
            lcd.setCursor(0,1);
            lcd.print(F("Dinoaktifkan"));
          }
          else if(g_your_counter_variable >= 9)
          { 
            //digitalWrite(relay1,HIGH);
            //digitalWrite(relay2,HIGH);
            digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
            LCDML.FUNC_goBackToMenu();
          }
        break;

      default:
        // do nothing
        break;
    }

    // Increment the counter variable by 1
    g_your_counter_variable++;

    if (LCDML.BT_checkAny()) // check if any button is pressed (enter, up, down, left, right)
    {
      LCDML.FUNC_goBackToMenu();  // leave this function
    }
  }

  if(LCDML.FUNC_close())        // ****** STABLE END *********
  {
    // you can here reset some global vars or do nothing
  }
}
