GROWINGS

He sat down with anxious feelings. Some nights his sleep can't be good. Thinking it will come today. The day he made a big decision, which would probably change his whole life.
In each of his prostrations, he always asked the almighty for guidance.
Whether he should do it -- or not...
"The result is positive." Said the bespectacled man in his white robe.
Inu relieved and scared. He glanced at the three people next to him. Found the three rich men put on a face sumringah, while unceasingly giving thanks for the way out given by God.
"So, when can my granddaughter have that kidney transplant, Doc?" Asked the old lady, who remained looking graceful and beautiful.
"Depending on Rafa's own condition, Ms. Anggita." Answer the doctor. "If Rafa's condition continues to improve, then surgery can be carried out in the near future."
"What about you, Mr Inu?"
Inu gulped. He did not have enough courage to look into the eyes of the old woman who owns the property business whose name is now on the rise.
"Sa-I am, ready at any time..."
When Inu came out of the doctor's room, the three men came back against his track, and invited him to just chat together in the hospital cafeteria.
"Thank you, Mr. Inu. Thank you for saving my granddaughter's life..." Again, Anggita expressed her gratitude to Inu.
"I also say a big thank you to Ibu Anggita and Mr. Ardiansyah."
Ardiansyah thrust out a white envelope that Trinity had just given her.
"Just take this for the down payment.." Ardiansyah.
"But, Mr. Ardiansyah.."
"Get it, Mr. Inu. Who knew Mr. Inu had another urgent need." Tukas Anggita Suryatama. "For the rest, I'll pay after the operation is over."
Inu opened the white envelope with trembling hands. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw the nominal written on a piece of check paper.
Only once did he see so much money. Only with this down payment, he could not only renovate his father's house in the village. Even buy a new house, and send him umrah can do.
"Sir Inu.."
Inu's eyeballs moved staring at the old woman before him.
"How long has Mr. Inu known him?"
Inu's forehead is wrinkled. He did not understand the question of Anggita Suryatama.
"Sorry, I---"
"Back.." Ardiansyah. "It seems that you and Dafa are very close and familiar.."
"Thank you for taking care of my grandson.."
Inu's eyes were fully rounded. His brain seemed to turn back repeatedly the sentence that had just slid from the mouth of Anggita Suryatama.
"Cu--cu...?" Inu's face turned deathly pale.
"That's right, Mr. Inu. That Dafa Ardiansyah is my grandson."
Inu's eyeballs rolled slowly towards the man sitting next to the old woman.
"Yes, Mr. Inu. The child who is currently living with you is my son.."
'Mr. Inu, this is the grave of my father, Brother Sam, and Mas Rafa. They were in a car accident. Their mother said dilindes the same bulldozer...'
"Ta - ta - pi.."
Anggita Suryatama grabbed Inu's hand. He could already guess that Inu would definitely react like now.
"Please keep this meeting a secret, Mr. Inu.."
"Hidden?!!" Inu's voice was slightly stomping.
"After all, Dafa must not know."
Inu gulped. He pulled his hand from the old woman's hand.
"But Mr. Inu need not worry, if the time is right, then Ardiansyah will return to see him.." Anggita Suryatama.
"I believe and believe that you are the one who can keep the promise." Tukas Ardiansyah's. "So, I beg you to work together."
"Pak Inu-- please just tell me, just in case Dafa needs something. Because I know, her mother is currently completely forgetting her..."
A few tens of meters away from their table, an old grandmother was sitting down enjoying a cup of black coffee with her honey.
Then the old granny looked at the four people with a look of despair.
'Meooowww...!!'
The old grandmother looked down. Watching the two golden-brown furry Persian cats meowing loudly at his feet.
"I know--- but there's nothing I can do right now."
He looked back at the four who were now walking towards him.
"This meeting shouldn't have happened... O my Lord - can You delay the arrival of the dark cloud any minute..?"
