"What's? So you guys wait outside the house until we get into the new room?" Diandra was a little surprised even almost choked on food because it turned out that last night Jio was the one who picked them up from the airport because Granny Harma did not like taking taxis or other public transportation.
On the way home, suddenly a plan to work on Erlan and Diandra just crossed the mind of Mami Hasna and worse, Jio and Meli agreed to the plan of Mami Hasna. Granny Harma herself also agreed because she wanted to see the funny facial expressions of Erlan and Diandra.
Arriving home, it turns out that Erlan and Diandra are sitting joking in the living room. If that night they enter suddenly, then Mami Hasna's plan will fail. Finally the car driven by Jio did not enter and chose to wait for Erlan also Diandra to the room.
"Bikin' sprain out!" erlan's protesting back in annoyance looked at her constantly teasing Mami. It turned out that Jio and Meli were sleeping at home because it was already midnight. Hence Jio could come early in the morning until Erlan was astonished because it was not Jio's custom. Moreover, Meli who was also suddenly present in the middle of them earlier.
"Haha! But the original is really funny, Er. If only Mami had recorded your facial expression that granny Harma was a ghost, must have been viral, haha!" Mami Hasna is really happy.
Erlan did not so continue his frustration because it was good to see the laughter of Mami Hasna who was so loose. That laugh he hasn't gotten since Grandma Harni's departure.
"Be careful, Mom! Fear Mas Erlan bales," said Diandra commemorating her mother-in-law.
"Yes easy! Mami's gonna find another plan, wek!" mami Hasna stuck her tongue out at Erlan. He could only repay her happiness with a smile.
The arrival of Grandma Harma completely changed the atmosphere in the house that had not long lost Grandma Harni. Diandra and Erlan were unceasingly grateful for the newfound happiness.
After breakfast, they gathered in the living room to discuss Grandma Harma's wishes to visit her brother Samuel. Although Erlan slightly objected, but Mami Hasna and Diandra agreed. While Meli had to go home because her son was fussy and Jio had to go to the office because a lot of work was delayed.
Erlan herself would accompany her beloved women to the funeral and to the prison. Because Diandra wanted to come along, so she breastfed Ezra first as well leaving behind some pouch asi.
"Oh my goodness ... Ezra is really excited!" Grandma Harma was holding Ezra who had been chattering indistinctly and continued to smile because she was spoken to by Grandma Harma.
"His father is also glittering, Grandma!" erlan said. Hearing the narcissistic Erlan, Diandra immediately pinched him. "It hurts, baby!" erlan complained while rubbing her pinched hand, but Diandra did not respond anymore.
"Em later if you're an adult, don't be like your father, son. Erza should be a good and responsible man" Grandma Harma advised Ezra who kept smiling and laughing.
"Erlan is also a good man, Grandma!" erlan said defending herself.
"Now! You were good with me before, Mom?" cynical Diandra and Erlan instantly whined.
"Hehe .. It used to be, honey. What matters is now, you!" sahut Erlan then kissed Diandra on the cheek.
"Ck, old song!" diandra said lazily.
"Mam, what is the same story with Grandma? Until I think Grandma already knew everything about Erlan and Diandra," asked Erlan curiously for sure.
"Your mother didn't stop talking all the way home. Even on the plane just keep babbling nyeritain you same your wife. But it was Grandma who asked," said Grandma who then focused again staring at Ezra who was still hu-ha on Grandma Harma.
"Em .. but thank you, Grandma. Thank you for choosing to live here even though the children of Grandma forbid. But if Grandma misses them, just say so. Erlan will be bringing. All acquaintances with Grandma's children." Harma's grandmother gives Ezra to Diandra and sits between Erlan and Diandra.
"No! Grandma loves you too. Especially when your mom says Grandma's sister is dead. Grandma knows you're very lost. Actually, Grandma's appearance is now different from her previous appearance. But for the sake of comforting you, Grandma asked your Mama to turn Grandma into the person you miss."
Granny Harma grabbed Erlan's shoulders and Diandra then stuck their heads together as a sign of deep affection between the newly reunited grandmother and grandchild.
...***...
The crying at the funeral broke when Grandma Harma saw the mound of earth she had sprinkled flowers on. There must be a deep sense of regret because for a dozen years never met his sister. Upon meeting, only tombstones can be found. They are separated by a natural disaster and are now reunited with the death of one of them.
Long enough Grandma Harma hugged her sister's tombstone. I don't know how many tens of words he said there as an outlet of longing that will never be treated.
"Udah, Grandma! Later Grandma's feet tingling if long squat here!" said Diandra grabbed Granny Harma's shoulder.
Of course he knows best how Grandma Harma feels because she was in her position as well. Hugging the tombstone until his feet were not strong enough to stand up again if Cherin and Meli did not break it at that time.
"Hm. Grandma is done too. We go straight to the prison, yes," Grandma Harma asked immediately got the nod of everyone.
...***...
Everyone was waiting for Uncle Sam's arrival in a special room for visitors. Erlan who asked for the room only had her family. Diandra even brought food for Uncle Sam. Although Uncle Sam indirectly killed Grandma Harni, but Diandra has forgiven him.
"Uncle will you eat my cooking?" whispered Diandra who looked doubtful was holding a lunch box for her Uncle later.
"I'm sorry, but the prisoner refused to meet you" said a police officer in charge of picking up Uncle Sam. Of course they were both surprised and disappointed.
"Sorry, Sir! Please tell me that there is someone who really wants to see him. If he still refuses, just say he will regret it" Erlan said, persuading the police to return to pick up Uncle Sam and fortunately the policeman nodded in understanding.
"If Brother Sam does not want to, yes no pa-pa. We go home," Grandma Harma said, bowing sadly.
"Prophey, Grandma! Uncle must want to meet Grandma," said Diandra then clasped Granny Harma's hand.
Moments later, the door opened again. Clearly everything inside the room was hoping it was the person they were waiting for. But it turns out that the police entered again.
"My uncle doesn't want to, sir?" erlan asked, looking at the police who entered the 2x2 M room. It turned out that their conjecture was wrong, Uncle Sam entered with both hands in handcuffs and lowered his head like a shy person to meet.
The police guarding Uncle Sam led him to sit in a chair that had been provided there. The handcuffed hand he raised it on the table as a support for his weak body. The Uncle was still down and did not want to see anyone in the room.
"Uncle, I .. bring Uncle lunch. Yes, later on in the meal. Diandra doesn't know what Uncle likes. But hopefully Uncle likes Diandra's cooking," said Diandra proffered the lunch box he brought earlier on the table in front of Uncle Sam.
"What are you forcing to see me? Shouldn't you and your husband be angry? uncle Sam asked still with his head lowered.
Really, Granny Harma was really sad to see the state of that one and only Brother. Crying without a sound still he did just for the sake of wanting to see the expression on his sister's face. If Samuel had loved Harma so much, he would have known who had met him that afternoon.
"We just wanted to visit and see Uncle. You also forgave the mistake that Uncle made the other day. So Uncle can calm down and hopefully Uncle can be better when he comes out later. We've sincerely lost Grandma because maybe it's her destiny like that."
Diandra spoke at length to make Uncle Sam shed his tears. The tear drops were clearly visible falling on the table that she used as a place to support her body.
Grandma Harma immediately smiled broadly to see the brother who seemed to regret what he had done to his sister.
"Sister, how are you?" said Grandma Harma immediately made Uncle Sam look up and look at Grandma Harma.
Those tears grew even more intense as the two looked at each other. For quite a while, and finally with trembling lips, Uncle Sam made a sound again.
"Daughter Harmaya! You ... are you still alive? You're alive, brother?" After mentioning his sister's full name, Uncle Sam's cries grew louder. He even hit the table a few times until a clash between the handcuffs and his hand made the hand turn red.
"Yes, Brother! I'm Harma" Grandma replied Harma then walked over to Uncle Sam and hugged him who was sitting bowing his head. "Harma misses you so much, brother! Fortunately, Harma can still meet with Brother even though she cannot meet Harni. Brother why is this so, hm? Big brother is the one in charge of me and Harni. Why is this like sister?"
Uncle Sam did not answer. He still speaks a thousand languages. Either because of his regrets or because of his longing for his sister. Most definitely, all those flavors were being mixed in the recesses of his heart.
"Already, Brother!" Grandma Harma tried to calm Uncle Sam who kept crying.
"I'm .. I didn't mean it. I have no intention of killing Harni, Harma! I swear by anything. I. .. I just asked for a fairer share of the property because we have a blood relationship. That's all, and .. and it turns out that night got him a heart attack. I don't know, I really don't know if he's that bad. I'm not a good brother, am I? I'm .. I killed my own sister, I'm sorry, Harma. I'm sorry!"
Grandma Harma understood the meaning of her Brother. Treasure had made him forget himself for a moment because their life was very simple. There was no luxury at all while they were still living with their parents.
"Yes, Brother! Aye ... Harma. It is ... everything is arranged by God. This incident can be a lesson so that we become better humans, Brother! Already ... Don't cry anymore!" Grandma Harma still rubbed Uncle Sam's back so that her crying subsided.
Moments later, Uncle Sam dared to look at Grandma Harma with teary eyes. Grandma Harma cupped both of Uncle Sam's cheeks and looked at him affectionately.
"You ... how are you still alive Harma? How's it been you all this time?" asked Uncle Sam and Grandma Harma just smiling.
"I'm good, Brother! The story is very long. Our time will not be enough to explain everything. You have to be nice and get out of here. Harma promises when it comes, Harma will tell you everything."
Uncle Sam also understood. Grandma Harma let go of her hand cupping Uncle Sam's cheek then sat by his side after that opened the lunch box that Diandra had brought earlier.
"Taste what your granddaughter made is delicious, brother! It's a five-star restaurant. Brother must eat a lot yes, Harma will bribe Brother," Grandma said Harma then took a spoon and gave bribes for feed to his Brother.
The atmosphere in the narrow room really felt so warm because they had forgiven each other.
