Grandma Dance apologized

Early in the morning, Gayatri looked busy looking for something.

" Gayatri, what are you looking for, son?" his mother asked as she looked at Gayatri who looked so busy.

"I'm looking for my phone, Mom ."

" Where was it put ? " ask Luh Ani while raising her eyebrows.

"I put it on the nightstand, and then I take a bath" said Gayatri with a confused face.

" Try you ask Gandi, who knows he saw it," said his mother who helped Gayatri find her phone.

Not long after, Gandi came with his Father.

" Gandi, can you see my phone no ? " tanya Gayatri while looking at Gandi

" I saw Rara take it. Let's ask him" said Gandi, sitting next to Grandpa Surya

" Then let Mother call him" said Luh Ani who then headed to Rara's room.

A few minutes later, Rara came out of her room.

" Gandi , Rara said she couldn't take Gayatri's phone" said Luh Ani

"But Rara actually took it, 'cause I saw it in person . The phone is currently hidden in his school bag" Gandi said, glancing at Rara.

" Rara, if you lie, then I will punish Rara," Luh Ani replied as she stared intently at Rara.

" Where could Mother dare to punish Mother's own daughter" said Rara who then sat beside her Grandfather.

" Who said you didn't dare ? I dare punish Mom's daughter if she's really wrong. Queen Shima alone dared to punish her son, Mother's time did not dare,"

" Who's Queen Shima, Bu ? " ask Gayatri while raising her eyebrows.

" Queen Shima was the ruler of the Kingdom of Kalingga located on the northern coast of Central Java around 674 AD. She was the wife of King Kartikeyasinga who became King of Kalinga (648-674 AD). When her husband died, her children Narayana and Parwati were young, then the Queen ascended the throne as Sri Maharani Mahissasura Mardini Satyaputi Keswara. In his reign, Shima is famous for his legendary upholding the principles of justice and truth with indiscriminate force, thus dubbed the Goddess of honesty. He implemented strict laws to combat theft and crime, and encouraged his people to be honest. He deferred the penalty of cutting hands to thieves and did not hesitate to impose the death penalty on corrupt royal officials and abuse power for their own satisfaction, because the action was considered a betrayal of the kingdom, besides the leader is an example to the people, so he should receive a much heavier punishment."

" It's scary too, Mom ? " sahut Gayatri

" Kalingga Kingdom is famous for being honest and law-abiding throughout the archipelago. Then heard by a king named Ta-Shih from outside Java. He then intends to test the rumor by placing a bag of gold pieces in the market area. But none of the people of Kalinga dared to take or touch the bag, until three years passed, Prince Narayana accidentally touched the bag of gold with his feet. In order to uphold the law, Queen Shima sentenced her beloved son. The council of ministers pleaded for the Queen to forgive her son's mistake of unintentionality. However, the law must be enforced. Because Narayana's foot touched the golden bag, Queen Shima punished the crown prince's leg. Queen Shima is often imaged as a leader figure tends to be hard.'Shima' means 'Lion' in sanskrit . Even so, the queen is loved by her people. For him, the people are not a bunch of cows that are off to find their own grass and in the milk boat as much as possible for the satisfaction of the owner," said Luh Ani while staring at Rara who kept his head down.

" Pity also his son Queen Shima, Bu," said Gayatri.

Rara loosened her head and looked at her mother.

" Mom, forgive Rara. Indeed, I have taken Brother's phone, because I want to have a phone like Brother. Please forgive me Mom !" said Rara who then looked down because she did not dare to look at her mother's face.

" Rara, next time it can't be like that anymore huh ? Don't take things that don't belong to Rara. Does Rara want to be punished with God ? If God is punishing, then the punishment is much heavier than the punishment carried out by Queen Shima, "Luh Ani said as she looked sharply at Rara.

" Rara, if you want to use a cell phone, you should have said it first with Brother. If you don't use it, then you can borrow the phone, but you have to use the phone to learn. How about , or not ? " ask Gayatri

" Yes, I want to. Thank you, sister" said Rara with a smile.

In the afternoon, Wayan Rasta and his family returned to his home because Grandpa Surya's condition had improved. Wayan Rasta House that yesterday in the Pemasangan by Granny Tari has also been cleaned using a cleaning ceremony.

Two weeks later...

Today Granny Tari is preparing to go to Wayan Rasta's house to apologize with her son.

" You have to remember what Mom said. If after returning from Wayan Rasta house Ibu just keep quiet, then that means our plan is successful. After I apologize, don't ever talk about the plan, because I'm afraid Gayatri's husband is here to investigate us. Moreover, we can't see it" said his mother

" Yes ,Bu . I see," replied Ketut Erni who then went to her room.

Since her husband went to the city, Ketut Erni lived with her mother.

After arriving in front of Wayan Rasta's house, he then knocked on the door of the house.

" Tok.tok.tok..tok..om swastiastu," said Grandma Tari.

" Oh swastiasti, "the door of the house was wide open. There was a little girl standing there. The face of the girl was so mirib with the face of the late Grandpa Danar.

" Granny ? " said Rara as she saw Grandma Dance standing in front of the door.

"Rara ? Grandma's granddaughter is getting pretty," Grandma Tari said as she looked at Rara.

" Let's go in, Grandma. " Rara invites Grandma Dance to the living room.

Wayan Rasta who was currently in the kitchen headed straight to the living room when she heard her mother's voice.

She then asks Rara to go to her room, because she does not want her conversation to be heard by her daughter.

" Mom, why are you here ? " ask Wayan Rasta while looking at her mother. He was still hurt by what his mother did.

" I came here to apologize . Please, forgive Mom. Don't you want to forgive the woman who gave birth to you ? I was forced to study Leak Science, because it was not strong with your Father's attitude. You will know for yourself how your father behaved with Mother. Every day he was angry at my mother. It feels like your heart hurts every time you hear your Father who continues to be angry at Mom. At first I was afraid to learn Leak Science, but your Grandma kept forcing Mom. Right now you also have a daughter, if later your daughter is treated by her husband just like your Father treats Mother. Then how do you feel ? " ask Grandma Tari while looking at Wayan Rasta who kept silent.

" I promise I'll use the Leak Science I have today for good things." Mother Tari wanted to kneel down in front of her son, but Wayan Rasta immediately stopped her.

" Mommy, what are you doing ? Let's get up, Mom !"said Wayan Rasta who then helped his mother stand up.

" Mom calm down, I have forgiven Mother" said Wayan Rasta while looking at her mother's face. How could she have seen her mother pleading like that, let alone she was the woman who had given birth to her.
