Strangely not, if the one in front of Erlan was a ghost, why the hug was so warm. Even stranger, if Erlan was experiencing a dream, it was impossible of course he could feel the breath of the grandmother who was hugging him.
"Basic son of nackal!" the Grandma exclaimed as she smacked Erlan's chest after she let go of her embrace. Erlan twisted her brain to think hard. What he felt was really real, not a dream or a hallucination. Even that blow was a little painful.
"No way! Why ... why is the voice and style of speech exactly the same as Grandma's? Actually .... actually, what has happened? Why is it that only me and my wife can see you, Grandma?" erlan said still astonished. The grandmother in front of him laughed at Erlan's attitude and once again, the grandmother hit Erlan's chest.
"Mas!" Diandra approached Erlan and hugged her arm. Not only Erlan of course who needs an explanation with what they are experiencing it. But Diandra is more hopeful that Grandma in front of him is real and can he hug.
"Honey .. This .. is too real for a dream or a ghost. I don't think this is our hallucination either" Erlan said in a very serious tone to Diandra, but what Erlan said made Mami Hasna and Jio no longer able to hold back her laughter.
They both laughed out loud. Not only that, the grandmother who is very similar to Granny Harni was approached by Mami Hasna then led by Mami Hasna to sit on the sofa of the family room.
Jio who was said to have not seen the whereabouts of the grandmother, so helped lead the grandmother on the other side. "Truly .. I'm considered a ghost just like them, Has. Jio, they should be given coffee so that they can stick their eyes out. It could be a ghost as pretty as me, weird! " that Grandma said which again responded to laughter by Mami Hasna and Jio.
Erlan and Diandra were completely confused. They finally followed to sit in the family room. Erlan even held a grudge against Jio who was hiding something from him.
"Darling .. abis this explanatory, I want to kill that man called Serjio. If I go to jail, you wait for me?" erlan's words were heard clearly by Jio.
Diandra only responded by pinching Erlan's arm. They finally sat together in the living room. Even Meli also suddenly appeared and sat there with a look of face that held back laughter as well. Out of nowhere, suddenly Meli sat when she was not seen entering the house.
"Mas, I think I will also follow you to prison. You see I also want to kill Mbak Meli it feels," said Diandra who was upset to see Meli was chuckling.
"Hus ... What the hell are you guys?" mami Hasna shakes her head several times. "Mommy planned all this, so nobody kill Jio or Meli, okay?" continued Mami Hasna with a sharp glance at Erlan and Diandra who look still upset.
"So .. Who is Grandma? Why are you pretending you didn't see Grandma? Explain ... What really happened?" asked Erlan who was filled with killing aura.
The look in her eyes also did not turn away at all from Grandma who was similar to her deceased Grandmother. Not only similar again, but like a betel nut is split twice according to grammar because there is absolutely no difference.
"Replace ... Diandra, meet .. Her name is Granny Harma. She is Grandma Harni's older sister. More precisely ... twin of your Grandmother who has died," explained Mami Hasna at once Erlan and Diandra immediately gaping at once glaring so surprised.
"How can Grandma have a twin?" asked Erlan who still did not believe at all the explanation of his mother.
After all these years, it is strange that suddenly Grandma who has been caring for and raising Erlan since she was still sitting in elementary school suddenly has a twin. So far no one has discussed the issue. And Erlan had also never met anyone so similar to Harni's Grandma.
"Yes .. She's your grandmother too. During this time Grandma Harma was separated from Grandma Harni and Uncle Sam because there was an earthquake disaster that completely destroyed Grandma's residence at that time. Grandma's age when she was separated was fifteen years. Grandma Harma is considered dead because there is no trace of any body or survivor. Cases of undiscovered people were also hundreds, so Uncle and Grandma Harni gave up looking for him for months."
Mami Hasna's explanation was almost acceptable to Erlan. She remembers a little while Grandma was still alive and Grandma took Erlan to her birthplace, Erlan was invited to a tomb. But because he was still a child, Erlan did not really understand the problem and he did not ask much.
"So Grandma Harma isn't a ghost, Mam?" asked Diandra innocently. Diandra's question even invited laughter again.
"Not Diandra Darling .. This is Grandma you can hug too. This Grandma Harma is really no different from Granny Harni. If Grandma is still alive, Mami is sure you will not be able to differ from them," said Mami Hasna immediately made Diandra teary-eyed to look at Grandma Harma.
"If so .. can Diandra hug Grandma Harma?" diandra asked again, but this time with her heavy voice and sounding very sad.
"Have! Why not embrace your own grandchild" replied Granny Harma as she stretched out her hands. That second also Diandra immediately moved up and hugged Grandma Harma.
Indeed, Diandra can not distinguish between Granny Harni and Grandma Harma. Even their body odor was exactly the same. Diandra was really happy to be able to spill her longing on Grandma Harni who had died a few months ago.
Erlan who saw Diandra as much as she was so happy, was also moved by the atmosphere. He also had a chance to shed his tears, but soon he was a tear because it was not the time to cry, but the time to be happy there was the figure of Grandma Harma in the midst of her family now.
"Grandmother! Grandma is so bad! Why did Grandma act like a ghost? You guys want Diandra to die standing up?" said Diandra is still in Grandma Harma's arms. No one intended to answer what Diandra asked. They let Diandra spill her longing.
"So ... Where's Grandma, Mam?" erlan asked still needs a lot of explanation about Grandma Harma.
"Grandmother's lost her memory, Er. Grandma also lived in the orphanage until Grandma got a job. It turns out that someone liked Grandma when Grandma was twenty-five years old. We are married and have two children" Granny Harma paused her speech as if feeling deeply sad.
"Then, Grandma now already remember all about Grandma's time with Uncle Sam and Grandma Harni?" asked Erlan who was very impatient with Grandma Harma's explanation.
"One year ago, Grandma was invited to go for a walk with Grandma's son after the death of Grandma's husband two years ago."
"Grandfather is dead?" Erlan interrupted again.
"Mas! Why did it first? Patience!" diandra exclaimed annoyed even throwing a small pillow that was on the sofa.
"Yes, your grandfather died of kidney failure two years ago. It turns out that when Grandma set foot which turned out to be the birthplace and residence of Grandma used to be there, Grandma immediately remembered all the memories with Grandma Harni and Uncle Sam, too, but no one knew about Grandma Harni's news after Grandma asked around. But Grandma did not give up. Grandma's children also helped to find out. Until Grandma met Aunt Rossa who she said used to live next door to Grandma Harni. Finally Aunt Rossa contacted your Mami," Granny Harma explained, making Erlan really relieved.
Diandra even switched to hugging Grandma Harma's waist so happy to have a replacement for Grandma Harni who was not distinguishable at all.
"Oh .. Which means that you're all actually planning to fuck me up with my wife, right? Want me to fire, huh?" erlan said staring alternately at Jio and Meli who immediately misbehaved to see Erlan's anger.
Moreover, Jio who was pretending not to see Grandma Harma. Erlan really felt stupid in front of Jio earlier. Erlan was sure in Jio's heart was eager to laugh to see Erlan who thought Granny Harma was a ghost. Erlan suddenly felt annoyed given the events of a few minutes ago.
"Sorry, Boss! Not intentionally! The suwer!" jio replied slightly holding back the laughter.
"Sorry, Sir. It was ... actually not intentionally," said Meli who participated in self-defense.
"Udah .. don't get scolded. It's all Mommy's idea. But Mami is very happy to succeed in getting to you. The vow! That was you same Diandra very funny you consider Granny Harma ghost, haha!" mami Hasna's laughter really mocked Erlan.
"It's blind this morning where there are ghosts. Lagian ... ghosts can be ready for breakfast, your favorite again," said Granny Harma. Diandra's a little embarrassed. But different from Erlan who still has an upset face.
"It sucks!" murmured Erlan and Jio also Meli could only help but laugh. If only they had laughed, they would have really fired.
"Well .. 'cause we've all been together like this, how about we go to the tomb. Granny Harma also want to visit there," proposed Mami Hasna.
"Yes. Grandma also misses the same sister who was only two minutes apart was born. Too bad Grandma's late to remember everything. Maybe if Grandma was a little faster, could meet Grandma Harni," said Granny Harma who clearly looks sad. "Grandmother did not even think at all with Brother Samuel. It could be that he was so evil with his own sister," continued Grandma Harma who shed her tears slightly.
Diandra wiped the tears and hugged her back. Put a pat on his back to feel better. Destiny, no one knows. Even treasures do make good people become evil is commonplace.
"Already! Now is not the time to be sad. We're having breakfast, that's us going to the tomb, right?" mami Hasna said and everyone nodded.
They all returned to the dining room and breakfast with laughter. Grandma Harma is so enthusiastic about joining Mami Hasna and hearing what Erlan likes and dislikes as well as Diandra.
Although it is difficult to get permission from her two children, Granny Harma insists on living with Mami Hasna and wants to feel closer to Grandma Harni.
In the end, Granny Harma still chose Diandra instead of Erlan who made Erlan like dejavu, but it does not rule out the possibility of a deep sense of happiness while Erlan felt how much Erlan again felt the warmth that had been lost.
