I'M SORRY, LOVE

I'M SORRY, LOVE
CHAPTERS 20. MEET GRANDMA GOOD


After getting permission from the mother, Sabrina immediately met Mother and Papa who happened to be currently not leaving for the office.


"Here son, sit down near Mother, are you better? Incidentally you are here, there is something you want to ask," Mother asked when she saw Sabrina coming.


"Yes Bun, what would you say Bun?"


"About Mario. Mario and his mama ask you, they want answers from you Na. If you're willing, they'll come to propose before Mario is back on duty out of town."


Sabrina was silent, if only she was still the Ina that once was possible at this time she would have accepted the proposal.


Now there was nothing else Ina could be proud of, so there was no way Sabrina would embarrass herself.


Seeing that Ina was silent, Mother asked again, "How is Na? why silent?"


"Sorry Bun, Ina's not ready. This afternoon Ina is going out of town. Ina transferred Bun."


"out of town? Why suddenly Na? are you sick again? Can't you keep working here?"


"No Bun, there is a need for a manager to replace the old manager who quit because she wants to join her husband to move duties."


"Oh son, Mommy will miss and be lonely dong, especially Rey and Alira will soon go on a honeymoon."


"Later Ina will often call Kok Bun, after all Mother also still lives here. Ina titip Ibu ya Bun, Inshaallah if at home, next year Ina plans to want home loans and Ina will bring new mother. It's just a sniff."


"Mother just stay here Na, accompany Mother. You'll go home if you miss. Later, if you all move, you will rarely come here."


"We see the situation ahead, Bun, whether Ina is at home or not."


"Then Papa telephone Rey first yes Na, so they go home and take you to the airport," said Papa.


"No need Pa, it's not good to bother them. Last night their plan was canceled because of Ina, the yes time today must be canceled again. They need time to be alone, Pa. Just say hello to them and Ina will pray that their marriage is happy and lasting."


"Amiinu. Yes, son, we wish you good luck there. Don't forget to send the news often."


"Yes Pa. Excuse me, Pa, Mother. Ina wants to get ready."


"Later Papa who transfers to Na airport, all of you want to meet clients. Papa's not in the office today."


"Thank you Pa, Ina doesn't want to bother. I've booked Pa's cab."


"Oh, just be careful there."


"So Mom tells Mario first Na, maybe he wants to meet you before leaving."


"Well if Ina comes home Bun, let us meet."


"Oh yes already. Go get ready, Mommy wants to go to the market first, do not leave first before Mommy comes home."


"Yes Bun."


Sabrina returned to the room and sat looking at the room. When will he set foot in that house again.

Sabrina finished preparing and Mom gave Ina a pendant, ring and bracelet.


"Bring and save this, son, you know you need to sell it. I purposely kept it for you."


"No, Mom, just keep it. There's still savings."


Finally Sabrina also kept the set of jewelry, then she hugged Mom while crying. Mother also cried, she forced them to leave her daughter for the common good.


Ina was out of the room accompanied by Mother and it turns out that Mother was also in the front room while carrying food supplies to give to Sabrina.


Sabrina hugged Mother and the tears broke again. After saying goodbye to the taxi waiting outside.


"Goodbye everyone, sorry if Ina has let you down" Sabrina's monologue closed the taxi door.


Ina waved her hand, her chest felt tight to hold back the tears. Sabrina left behind those she loved dearly for a time that might be long.


A taxi darted towards the airport and before long, her plane, took off taking Sabrina to the spot where she was about to embark on a new journey of her life.


Sabrina closed her eyes, her tears continued to melt so that the passenger sitting next to her also gave a tissue for her.


"Remove your tears, son, you're leaving your family for the first time?"


"Grandmother, she used to be like you, but now she's used to flying around without crying and crying."


"Now that technology is sophisticated, we can communicate, can face each other even though the distance separates."


"Yes Nek, thank you Nek," said Sabrina while accepting tissue given by the grandmother.


Sabrina cleaned her face, then wiped the clear liquid that was clogging her nose. Then he continued the conversation with a very friendly and also good grandmother.


It turns out their destination is the same, namely to the city of Bali. Even Mawar's grandmother offered to let Sabrina stay in her house because she only lived there by herself.


Grandma's children and grandchildren all live out of town. So every few months he would visit them or those who would come to visit him if it was a holiday or a school holiday.


Sabrina is grateful that there are good people she met when she was sad and had no family abroad.


Sabrina does not have a place to live even though her best friend has offered to stay at her house.


"Sir, Ina wants to stay with grandma, but Ina meets Ina's friend first. He offered me a job at the hotel. Later after Ina meets him, Ina will go straight to grandma's house."


"Thank God, grandma is happy, finally not lonely anymore. Although grandchildren who work in Bali every two weeks must come, but still quiet."


"He's been visiting for hours at most, he's busy working in the hospital as an obstetrician."


"Gee, grandchildren turned out great, some became doctors and also entrepreneurs."


"That was thanks to the upbringing of the late grandfather and also the children of the grandmother who always put their education first."


"Oh, Grandma, why don't you just stay with them?"


"Grandmother is comfortable living in her own home, a lot of memories, likes the sorrow of life have grandmother through there."


"Also living in Jakarta is not good, there is a lot of pollution and congestion everywhere. Not to mention the busyness of children and daughters-in-law, after all grandmother also lives alone in the house only with a maid. Well, it's better to live in your own house."


"Yes Nek."


"Grandmother also had a busy life, making various kinds of pastries to be tithed to stalls and some shops, so do not get bored at home."


"Great grandmother, still creative in old age, Ina so want to learn a lot from grandma."


"Let's teach grandma to make a cake and some other skills. We women need to be independent, not just raise our hands to our husbands even if they can."


"So, when we lose them or when the economy is down, we can meet all the necessities of life without having to whine and even beg to others."


Sabrina saluted the thought of the grandmother, she was impatient to learn quickly, because someday the sciences would be useful for her.
