Chapter 20

Silence now dominates the two people who are in the car. They are both silent and thoughts that point to the past.

The journey from the police station to Rinjani's house takes about 15 minutes. They arrived home almost midnight.

Rinjani wondered why Bagaskara knew where he was living. He forgot to say where his home address was. The awkwardness between them happened probably because it had not met for more than 10 years. So, make the two not talk much.

"How do you know my house is here?" rinjani asked in amazement.

"What don't I know about you?" reply Bagaskara with more questions.

Rinjani rolled her eyeballs, she was very unhappy with Bagaskara's nature like this. A man who is super ignorant and likes to make him often in trouble.

"It's late and there's also no lodging or hotels in the area. You better go home now!" reply Rinjani with no less annoying while opening the door. He also always wanted to retaliate and make the man feel annoyed as well.

"It turns out you're still the spoiled girl Rinjani that sucks like before" Bagaskara said with a smile and walked out of her car.. Meanwhile, in his heart he felt very happy, because Rinjani was still like before. 

"Appaan, anyway! It turns out you're still a very annoying person. It hasn't changed in the past" Rinjani replied.

"Yes, you're right. I haven't changed since. And I am also a man who is always faithful waiting for the future wife who ran away with her lover," said Bagaskara with a sad look towards the idol.

The deg!

Again Rinjani felt pain in the chest. He used to run away from home when he knew he would be betrothed to Bagaskara by his grandfather. Meanwhile, he had already fallen in love with the Gods and was in a romantic relationship with her. Grandfather Atmaja did not approve of the relationship, as God was just an ordinary servant. He wanted an established man to be the husband of his favorite grandson.

"You don't have to say that I'm your future wife, because we've never had any relationship before" Rinjani said with a hiss. He would at least like it if anyone were to offend the matter. 

"Why are you always like this? Don't you know how much Atmaja's grandfather suffered after your departure?" Bagaskara tried to melt Rinjani's heart.

"It's not that Grandpa has kicked me out and no longer wants to acknowledge me as his grandson anymore!" Clear liquid slid from Rinjani's beautiful eyes.

Seeing that, Bagaskara felt anxious to wipe away the tears on his cheeks and pull Rinjani's body into his arms. However, he knew that the woman would definitely grow angry with him.

The two men spoke while standing in front of the car. There was no desire for the two to talk at home or just talk the next day again.

"Grandfather Atmaja is very worried about you. He was just angry and unaware of what he had said. Did you know that he told people to look for the whereabouts of you and the gods? Even the day after your departure, Grandpa came to my family and apologized for canceling our match," continued the tall man.

There was a great longing in Rinjani's heart for her grandfather. People who have been raising and pampering themselves since they were little. He who lost both parents as a child, made him in the care of his grandmother and grandfather. However, his grandmother died two years after the death of his mother, who both had leukemia. 

When Rinjani ran away with the gods first, she came to her uncle who had just returned from abroad and asked him to marry them both. With the blessing of the Uncle, Rinjani was legitimately the wife of the God. They chose to live to build a household in a village far from the capital.

"Do you know how Grandpa is doing right now?" ask Rinjani. Honestly since he ran away, never heard from his grandfather. 

"He is very old and always asks about you when you meet people who know you. If I meet him he always says, "Rinjani goes because of my selfishness. If only I had given her blessing with God. My granddaughter must be home by now."

For the umpteenth time Rinjani's tears fell down her cheeks and there was no desire to remove the clear liquid. He felt that he wanted to meet his grandfather at this time. Want to hug the body of a man who is old at this time.

"Does Grandpa still want to see me?" rinjani asked with her voice trembling.

The night breeze hit the bodies of the two people. Making their bodies feel the cold that pierced into debt. A memory of the past in his life. I feel like repeating it.

"At any rate, you are a person who is loved and loved by Atmaja's grandfather. He must be very happy to be reunited with you" Bagaskara replied.

"Grandpa doesn't really hate me anymore, does he?" ask Rinjani.

Is Rinjani going to meet her grandfather who lives in the capital? How is his relationship with Bagaskara in the future when God is no more? Wait for it to go, yeah!
