Alya felt very sad, when Grandma muttered like that. He felt very sad, because Grandma who lost her daughter very much, in a very tragic way.
Alya rubbed Grandma's shoulders, trying to channel positive energy for her, “Nek, don't think about it again, yes! My mom is fine there now. He will not suffer any more,” said Alya, trying to make his grandmother accept the situation.
Grandma nodded to hear it, “Iya, she must have been happy in her place now.”
Alya nodded with a smile, when she heard Grandma's words like that. Alya felt, that Grandma could already be more accepting of the conditions that befell her mother during her life.
Yeah, it's been 20 years. Time can erode sadness, but it can't completely erase it.
While looking at Alya, Grandma accidentally looked at a man standing behind Alya. He narrowed his eyes again, trying to see clearly the figure of the man before him.
“You ... who?” asked Grandma, Alya forgot about the figure of Rian who had been behind her.
Rian smiled, unable to say anything about who he was and what it had to do with Alya. It was only Alya who could tell Grandma.
Realizing that, Alya smiled in front of Grandma, to distract Grandma from Rian.
“This is Rian, Grandma. This Rian ..” Alya threw her gaze at Rian, then looked at Grandma back, “suami Alya,” he continued, immediately making Grandma surprised to hear it.
“What? Are you married?! Why don't you tell Grandma?” asked Grandma who was very surprised to hear it, Alya felt very confused to answer what about their relationship.
“Where ... if we go in first, Grandma? Later Alya told me about this,” he said, making Grandma forget to tell them to enter his house.
“Oh, sorry Grandma forgot to tell you to come in. Let's go in first.”
Alya and Rian both flashed their smiles at Grandma, then they stepped inside the almost dilapidated Grandma's house.
Grandma provided drinks for them, while they sat on a wooden chair in the dining room of Grandma's house. Not only the appearance of the old Grandma's house, but, but the goods in his house was the majority of using items that are old and have long been not seen in the civilization of millennials in this era.
Alya smiled in front of Grandma who had just sat in front of her, “Makasih Nek, already bothered to make drinks for Alya and Rian,” she said, Grandma smiled at hearing that.
“Not bothered, Grandmother's granddaughter here has made Grandma twinkle,” said Grandma, who did not feel burdened by the arrival of Alya and also Rian.
Rian smiled, “I drink yes, Nek,” he said asking permission first to Grandma.
“Please,” Grandma said very politely in front of Rian.
They momentarily enjoyed the drink Grandma had prepared for them. Rian was very happy, because he was the first to be welcomed by others.
Grandma looked sharply at Rian, like a person who recognized Rian's figure. However, because he was old, he forgot to ever meet where with Rian.
“Grandmother seems to have squirmed you, deh! Where, yes?” granny murmured, while continuing to narrow her eyes to pay attention to Rian's face well.
“Emm ... Grandma ever squirm me? Where, Grandma?” rian asked, Grandma still narrowed her gaze towards Rian.
“Entahlah ... Grandma herself is not sure. Is it just similar, huh? You ngingetin Granny the same transvestite who is in the next village,” he said, making Rian really very stiff and worried.
Alya felt very tense, when Grandma said such things in front of Rian. He was worried, if Grandma really remembered about the figure of Rian who was actually a transvestite in the next village.
“Ah, maybe just similar, Grandma!” refute Rian, who really did not want to make Alya embarrassed by it.
“Could be,” murmured Grandma who seems to have given up on guessing it.
Alya is speechless. He could only enjoy the warm sweet tea Grandma made, and not add any words that could change things.
“Oh yes, how do you work? Smoothly?” asked Grandma, Alya became happy because there was another topic they could discuss at this time.
“May leave, Grandma. Maybe ... the next few days Alya entered work again,” Alya replied, making Grandma nod her head.
Speaking of work, Rian was completely unaware of Alya's work. He keeps wondering, especially considering when Alya asked him to be his manager. Rian did not think long at all, because he was tempted by the salary he could use to buy his food.
‘Later I have to ask her what work she is actually doing, Rian's inner’, who really wants to know the work Alya is doing.
After a few hours Alya let go of her longing with her grandmother, Alya felt that the day was getting late. He had to take a shower immediately, because he was very aware that the bathroom in this house, located on the outside of Grandma's house. He was very afraid, if he took a bath in the curfew, because of the minimal lighting.
“Neh, Alya wants to take a shower. Bathroom still outside?” ask Alya.
“Yes, you take a quick shower. Don't go into the night,” said Grandma, making Alya nod at her hearing.
“Then Alya takes a shower first huh, Nek!” pamit Alya, who got a nod from Grandma.
The atmosphere became very ambiguous there. Rian was really very confused, what to talk to Grandma who was in front of him.
“Please take care of Alya, yes!” said Grandma, suddenly makes Rian shocked to hear it.
“Ah? How, Grandma?” asked Rian who asked Grandma to repeat her words.
Grandma's gaze sharpened towards him, “Please take care of Alya. Alya has no parents. He also lived in an orphanage all along. You ‘kan ... her husband, never hurt Alya, yes,” said Grandma who asked for help to Rian.
Rian smiled at her, as it turned out that Alya was a person who lacked the affection of her family. Especially from the figure of Father and Mother.
‘Port him rough with anyone. He lacked the affection of his parents from childhood. Listen to Grandma's story, pity her too. Surely he was very depressed, Rian's inner’, who felt very sympathetic to Alya.
“Ahh!!”
