Behind The Lies
Enter the Hospital

The night when Ashilla had just reached home after a tired day of taking care of company and other problems, suddenly without giving him a chance to sit down, Ganjar immediately searched for him.

“Opa can report from office,” Ganjar said without further ado.

Ashilla sighed. “Thank God that Opa already knows.”

“Before long you take care of the company, but the loss is already this big,” complained Ganjar.

“Iya, that is Opa, from the beginning I have refused because I do not understand this problem at all.”

“Do not understand?” Ganjar rubbed his chest. “Why not ask?”

“Whose name? Opa can only get angry.”

“You did not study the company properly,” accuse the eighty-year-old man.

“Iya. It's up to Opa to say what, which is clear for three months I've been trying.” Ashilla does not want Ganjar to forget all his efforts so far. “Even I put aside my and Asa's wishes. All this for the sake of obeying the will of Opa.”

“If indeed you try, there must be a result.”

“This result, Opa.”

“Disadvantage?” Ganjar.

“Ya,” replied Ashilla upset. “You how else, Opa entrusts the company to the wrong person.” He's been frustrated enough all along.

“You don't trust yourself.”

“I'm sorry, but I'm really tired and I've given up.”

“Only three months and you said surrender, you do not see Opa struggle for decades.”

“Company if it falls into the right hands, the result will be good, Opa. Lucky only three months, if a year maybe Opa has gone out of business.”

“Gosh.” Ganjar threw his buttocks onto the sofa while rubbing his chest.

“Sorry, Opa, but Shilla is really tired.” Finally Ashilla softened her voice. “Sometimes Shilla is confused as to what.” He sat next to his grandfather. “Why Opa did not try to ask Aruna to take care of the company?”

“Aruna ...” Ganjar sighed. “You alone that Opa raised directly failed let alone him.”

“Opa always underestimated him, deserved he chose to stay away from his own family.”

“Already, don't discuss.” Ganjar.

“Opa don't see how successful he is now?”

“He was a success for himself, even he refused several times when Opa invited him to stay here.” Ganjar breezed away leaving the chair.

“Opa.” Ashilla followed. “Starting tomorrow, Shilla won't go to the office.”

Instantly Ganjar turned his head and looked at him sharply. “You are how, who keeps taking care?”

“But, Opa, I have to prepare for my wedding.”

“Continue company how?”

“Ask the trust people of Opa to take care of everything.”

Ganjar again sighed and continued his steps towards the room. Ashilla was stunned and no longer followed her grandfather. He may be confused by this situation because honestly since he decided to move to New York, he had never been interested in his Grandfather's company. What's wrong if now he wants to choose his own way of life?

Towards sleep Ashilla heard Ganjar's voice whimpering in pain. He was so panicked because it wasn't usually this weird.

Ashilla got up and left her bed. He walked quickly and knocked on the door of Ganjar's room.

“Opa,” screams hard. “Opa, why?”

There was no word from the inside and it made him panic even more. Ashilla quickly turned the doorknob and she was surprised to see her grandfather lying on the floor without being able to move and could only moan in pain.

“Opa,” Ashilla tried to lift Ganjar's body, but she was overwhelmed, her strength was not strong enough to do this.

Ashilla stood up and called out to Bi Sumi. However, the house assistant did not hear his voice, but it was loud enough.

“Bi Sumi!

“Help me, Opa–” Ashilla's voice choked.

“Why Father, Non?”

Ashilla ran and Bi Sumi followed her.

“Please, Bi, help me lift Opa to bed.”

Bi Sumi nodded. They both quickly lifted Ganjar off the floor and moved him to the mattress.

“Please make warm water, I want ambulance phone.”

Ashilla went to pick up the cell phone in her room. However, he had not had time to call an ambulance, Angkasa message a moment ago appeared in front of the screen. Without reading the message, he immediately contacted Angkasa. No need to wait long Space immediately answered his call.

“Honey,” call Space. “Sgratitude.”

“Please help me, we have to take Opa to the hospital.”

“Hah? Why?”

“Stop asking and quick come,” pinta Ashilla and she instantly disconnects the phone.

Space panicked and quickly went to Ashilla's place without changing clothes. He simply overwrote his shorts with trousers, then covered his t-shirt with a Jacket.

Meanwhile, after Ashilla disconnected her phone with Angkasa, she immediately contacted the ambulance. Ashilla panicked even more when she touched Ganjar's arm and leg which felt so cold, the old man did not even respond to her. If Yayan had not come home yet, it would have made it easier for him to take Ganjar to the hospital.

Ambulance comes first compared to the stuck Space jammed. Though some people should stop driving because this is enough night, complained Angkasa.

“Bi, please take care of Asa, if I have not returned, tomorrow just prepare Asa school.”

“Good, Non.”

Ashilla darted away, shortly after her departure, Space came. “Bi,” call Angkasa when Bi Sumi handak closes the door of the house.

“Non Ashilla just left in an ambulance, Mas.”

“Thank you.” The spacewalk soon follows Ashilla to the hospital.

Once until the hospital, Ganjar immediately got medical treatment.

Ashilla tries to contact her family members in the family group.

[Opa in the hospital. I don't want to know you guys have to come back here, afraid you won't see Opa again.]

I don't know what Ashilla was thinking until she had to use the word threat in her short message.

[Mother flew directly to Indonesia today with Brother Edgar. Please be patient.] Miranti replied in her message.

[Aruna?”] Ashilla accepted the name because her sister did not reply to her message when she had clearly read it.

[I packed up.] Reply Aruna.

[Thank you. Although I had to insist on being able to feel the sweetness of gathering with my family, but I am really grateful that I am not alone.]

[Who are you there?] ask Miranti.

[Space will take care of everything.] Ashilla replies after seeing the man coming.

[Thank God.]

Ashilla then stuffed the phone into her shirt pocket. Not long after Space came and immediately hugged him. “You are calm, everything will be fine.”

“Tadi, we had a fight, I think I was too hard on Opa,” said Ashilla.

“Do not think, Opa is just too worried.” Angkasa knows that this must be a company problem, previously Ganjar had complained about this to him. Ganjar also said that he raised the company like his own son.

Ashilla sighed. “I'm confused.”

“Iya, I know.” Space peaked Ashilla's head. They were just talking about marriage this morning. I don't know, honestly Angkasa is not ready if you have to postpone it again, he is afraid if Ashilla even cancels her wedding plans for other reasons.
