Nazura nudged Devi's arm out of curiosity with the man standing in front of them. The man had since continued to smile even though no one returned his smile.
"Why did you come here, Mom?" devi asked again because she had not received an answer.
"following you. Your father said I have to catch up with you now and we have to go home soon" said the tan-skinned man wearing a batik shirt.
"Well, what's wrong? Is something going on?" ask Devi worriedly. Seeing the face of Saifur, the man who soon became her husband, suddenly made Devi try to guess.
"Grandmother is in the hospital again. We've all tried to contact you, but your phone couldn't be reached from last night. So, you tell me to pick you up and we go home right now" he explained.
Devi's face that had looked ordinary was now filled with anxiety. His mind was completely confused. For some reason, he felt his heart was very worried about the state of the grandmother.
"My phone seems to be running out of battery from yesterday. I don't hold a cell phone at all. Then let's go home now," Devi.
He said goodbye to them first before returning to the village. Even Nazura could not come along because there was still an event there and it was impossible to leave the guests just like that. Nazura only prayed that Devi's grandmother would get better and healthier as ever.

"Sit down, Na." Roger felt dizzy because Nazura had been continuously pacing by the bed. Keep holding the phone and look at the screen several times. If there was no message yet, Nazura would exhale his coarse breath.
"I'm worried, Mas. Why Devi hasn't called. I'm afraid of anything happening" Nazura complained. So anxious, Nazura to no appetite and it makes Roger nag. Though the woman was breastfeeding and had to eat a lot, especially vegetables.
"Maybe it's busy there. If it is loose, it will contact you. So, it is better now that you sit quietly. I'm dizzy to see you like a fan, Na." Roger forcibly pulled his wife and told her to sit next to him.
Just sitting down, Nazura's phone rang and the woman stood back up when she saw her best friend's name on the screen. He took the call impatiently.
"Cummer, Dev. How's your grandma doing?" ask Nazura. The woman's heart was suddenly anxious when she heard a sob from across the phone.
"Na, I ask for your prayers, may my grandmother be facilitated." Devi's voice wasn't very clear as it was full of stuffing.
"meaning? Tell me the obvious, Dev." Nazura was suddenly impatient himself.
"My grandmother's been critical, Na. The doctor said we just pray and I'm trying to make it happen" he said.
"Mas, tomorrow we go to the village. Devi's grandmother is being critical" Nazura asked. Roger was about to refuse, but Nazura continued to insist. In the end Roger agreed and in the afternoon they immediately went to the village with his two families. Both the Bryan and Bima families.

Two luxury cars stopped in the courtyard of Devi's grandmother's house which looked crowded. Nazura was anxious when he saw the tent attached there and there was a white flag welcoming them.
"Ma-Mas." Nazura's heart was pounding even his tongue was suddenly twisted.
"Patience first. Better get us down." Roger knew exactly what was going on, but he had to keep his usual attitude in front of his wife. Don't make his wife panic.
Nazura was impatient. In fact, he left them all and ran in. When he reached the living room, Nazura was surprised to see Devi crying beside her grandmother's body, while Saifur was shaking hands with Heru, Devi's father.
"What's up, Dev?" nazura asked confusedly. He looked at everyone there one by one and all showed sadness.
"I'm getting married, Na" Devi said in between her sobs.
"Now?" nazura asked in disbelief. Devi nodded weakly.
"Yes." Yeah."
"You don't go crazy, Dev! I haven't even spoken condolences yet" Nazura said. He shook his head and occasionally clucked loudly.
"This is on the orders of grandma, Na. Before leaving he asked me to get married. If, he's gone before I get married, then I have to get married right then and there right next to his body."
"Oh my God, Dev." Nazura hugged his best friend tightly and tried to give a firmness.
After the atmosphere was a little calm, Ijab kabul was held. Devi is now officially titled as Saifur's wife.
Then, Devi's grandmother's body was buried afterwards.
