Ai, Love Me
Eps 8, The Grandma's departure

“gawat, why does he know my tattoo? Would everyone be upset if I got caught having a tattoo?” thought Johan asked.

“who drew this? and why did you tattoo your own hands?” asked Emilia firmly.

“I didn't tattoo my hand” Johan said.

“continue, this what?” tanya Emilia gripped hard Johan's left palm.

“chiat ciat, actually it is just a stamp with permanent ink paint. Soon the ink can also cross kok” said Johan in pain due to the grip of Emilia's hand.

“boong” said Emilia stared intently at Johan's eyes.

“merely I don't boong” explained Johan.

Shortly after, Johan's grandfather suddenly opened the door to Johan's room without permission. Hearing the sound of the door opening like that made Emilia immediately release Johan's hand from his grasp. Johan who immediately looked at someone who opened his room was really surprised by the presence of his grandfather into his room. Johan went up from there and told his grandfather to sit in his chair earlier.

“ehh, grandpa? how come grandpa's here?” johan asked in surprise.

“what are you two doing?” asked the grandfather with a sharp look.

“ehh? The ka-grandpa? Grandpa's here? what's the cake?” johan asked in surprise.

“kakek came here just want to talk to Jonah” said the grandfather with a hoarse voice.

“my name is Johan kek, not Jonah” Johan said in an annoyed tone.

“eh?, hehehe, sorry” said the grandfather laughed a little.

“so, what do you say? Tumben really grandpa came here alone. Grandpa usually comes with grandma. Where is grandma now? What's grandma downstairs?” ask Johan.

“then from that, grandfather wants to invite son Johan to make a pilgrimage at the grave of your grandmother in the village of grandpa” said the grandfather in a humble tone.

“hah? wh-what does cake mean? Where's granny? Where's granny, cake?” johan asked a little scream. In fact, at that time Johan still did not think that the person he respected the most and he loved was said to have died. Johan was still shocked by what his grandfather had just said.

“iya, your grandmother just died, and your grandmother really you see the village where you were raised by your grandmother there. At least for the last time, your grandmother wants Johan to see the world outside” said the grandfather.

“no, that's not possible. Though the last time Johan went with grandma, she was so healthy” said Johan with his wet husky voice.

“apa nak Johan has forgotten that last time nak Johan went to the village about 3 years ago, and even that because kak Johan has not felt at home living there” said the grandfather.

“so, do you want to take me to grandma's funeral right now?” ask Johan.

“kakek does not make it difficult for nak Johan to go to the village, because grandpa tau kao you really can't stand to stay there” said the grandfather.

“gapapa kek, I want to pilgrimage there” Johan said with his belief.

“hmm, well if so, grandfather wants to go down first to ngajak papah you kedesa” said the grandfather turned his body and started walking out of the room.

“iya cake, thanks” said Johan.

“ohh yes, grandfather has a request for you, please take the woman to funeral” said the grandfather as he walked out of the room.

“ehh? You mean my grandfather? why should I go to the cake?” emilia asked in surprise.

“iya, you. You're going with Johan. Grandpa pity Johan who has no friends there” said the grandfather began to move away from the room.

In the end, the grandfather went down the stairs and then walked to meet the papah Johan who was crying in the middle room. At that time there was also the wife who calmed the sobs of her husband who was grieving the loss of his biological mother.

On the other hand, Johan who was in the room together with Emilia was still shocked by the words of the grandfather just now. The reason, Johan was raised by grandparents in the village.The memories that are so deep began to stab Johan's heart when he remembered the warm smile of the grandmother.

“sorry, Lia. You've been laughing all this because of Grandpa's request. I can't fight Grandpa's words. Can you come in tomorrow morning?” ask Johan.

“iya, gapapa. I could really. I can permit no entry to school for that” said Emilia smiling sincerely.

“thank you very much yes. And also I now still need to be alone. Can you go home? sorry to kick you out of your room” Johan said.

“gapa, I understand kok” said Emilia standing from her seat.

“thank you very much. I anterin you to the exit, can you go home by yourself?” ask Johan.

“quiet me, I am not a child” said Emilia assured.

“hmm, actually also” said Johan moved from his seat.

Johan covered part of his body with a jacket and then took Emilia out of his room. They both walked out of the house slowly. On the way, they listened to the sound of sobs in his room. It makes Emilia even more unpleasant to be in the house of a grieving family. Johan opened the door and so did the fence.

“sorry yes, it has brought you in trouble, just for 3 days” Johan said.

“nggapapa, even though it was for a week it was not a problem” said Emilia.

“thank you, I went home first” Emilia replied to Johan's hand and then walked away from home.

Johan closed the fence and locked the door from the inside. He walked to the top floor with a blank look while daydreaming about being together with his beloved grandmother. He entered the room and then locked the door from the inside.

He turned off his room lights and then closed his window making the conditions in Johan's room when it was so dark. Johan lay on his bed with an empty look. However, a moment after, the blank look from those unblinking eyes began to shed tears.

One by one the beautiful moments together with the grandmother remembered from the brain of Johan. Such a beautiful memory would pierce his heart and mind. He began to remember the most beautiful moment of his life when he was still under the care of his grandparents.

“ahhh long ago, when will the fish eat?” asked Johan while holding a fishing rod.

“patience first, fishing does need concentration and patience” said the grandfather.

“but if you are just patient but do not have fishing skills, you will not get fish” said the grandmother with a smile.

“ihh, I was patient, but the fish did not want to eat my bait” Johan said emotionally.

“patience first, this fish must be willing to eat bait nak Johan” said the grandmother.

“what could the fish still diet and fast?” ask Johan.

“iya, that's true too, maybe because that's because the fish do not want to eat bait belongs to us all” said the grandfather.

A moment after that, slowly the fishing buoy Johan started twitching. The buoy started twitching slowly and made Johan so happy and excited. Everyone was so shocked by Johan's buoy that it started twitching. And in the end, when the buoy really sank, Johan pulled so deftly the pacing hook.

“ini him!” yelled Johan while pulling hard his fishing rod.

Unexpectedly, the jujair fish that was still small managed to be caught by Johan. The fish was really small until the fish's body size was still smaller than a DVD cassette. At that instant Johan was really disappointed with his achievement because he only managed to get a small fish.

“ehh? It's it?” johan asked in surprise.

“hahahahaha, the fish is upil” said the grandmother laughed so loosely.

“when I was so happy” said Johan was really disappointed.

A moment after that, the fishing buoy of the grandmother began twitching. Slowly the buoy began to sink. At that moment, the grandmother pulled her button. Instantly Johan and the grandfather were really surprised by the size of the fish that was captured by the grandmother. Because the fish is really big to exceed the size of a laptop.

“waaaahhhh very gilak” shouted Johan so impressed with the size of the fish.

“ikannya really gile” said the grandfather gawking.

“hmm, right? Your grandmother was really good at fishing. No one can beat grandma when fishing in this river.I who control this river” said the grandmother prides herself, he said,

“grandma jago banget.granny already got a big fish. When can I fish and get such a big fish?” ask Johan.

“just relax.you will get a much bigger fish than this. You can definitely beat the old granny” the grandmother stroked Johan's head.

“well if so, because Johan and grandma already dapet, now it's grandfather's turn to catch fish” said the grandfather while looking at the lake sharply.

“heh? Can grandfather catch fish? Kail grandpa hasn't twitched. How grandpa wants to dapet ik-“ said Johan stopped.

Instantly the grandfather jumped from the river upstream and then kicked into the river to the lake. Water splashes also managed to hit Johan's body so that the clothes worn by Johan when it was really wet. Johan was really surprised by what his grandfather had just done.

“kek? What did grandpa do? My clothes are all wet!” yelled Johan stained with emotion.

“hahaha, if your grandfather has given up, your grandfather usually looks for fish directly by swimming. The basis of its nature has never changed” said the grandmother laughed loosely.

“kalo so, do you ngag follow nyebur?” ask the grandfather.

“gamau ah, cool” Johan said.

“gapapa, you can swim. Let's find fish with grandpa” said the grandfather.

“how? Couldn't be” Johan said.

“who says can't” asks grandfather. Instantly, the grandfather also showed his dagger that had pierced the stomach of two fish that were still fresh. Johan was really surprised by what his grandfather had done. He was also amazed by the skill of catching fish from his grandfather.

“wohh, gilak bener” said Johan.

“gener right? Now, let's jump inside and catch all the fish” take the grandfather while giving a thumbs up and blink one eye.

“oke, I'm jumping!” yelled Johan while jumping high and into the lake. At once the clothes worn by the grandmother splashed water and made the clothes of the grandmother really wet. The grandmother began to be interested in it and made the grandmother then do the same.

The grandmother began to enter the water and then went to find fish using a dagger. However, instead of looking for fish, the three of them even bemain splashing water. They play water until dusk. Where laughter escaped from Johan as well as his grandmother and grandfather.

All togetherness seems to make Johan feel that family togetherness is the most memorable happiness in his life. All the laughter and cheerful smiles have now become mortal and can never be repeated. As it will be, only dreams can unite that happiness.
