Chapter 42
Bagaskara also drove the Rinjani family back to the village after Zuhur prayer. They also invited Grandpa Atmaja to see where his great-granddaughter lived to spend her day all this time.
On the way the three children Rinjani never stop chattering. Tell me what they've been through all this time. Most fun when playing with school friends or friends in the home environment.
Atmaja's grandfather occasionally responded to their remarks and the rest he laughed at hearing the stories told by Rinjani's children. In his heart he regretted his decision first, so he was late to see the growth of these three great-grandchildren. If only time could be turned, he would not give his blessing to Dewa and Rinjani, so he would not let Rinjani go. However, everything had happened and he had misjudged that the happiness of the household would be happy if they had a lot of property. Because, during this time financial problems are often a problem in the household.
Rinjani and Dewa can live happily despite mediocre life. Rinjani who was spoiled and never did homework has now become a mother who can take care of the house and children. Even Grandpa Atmaja likes his cooking.
If you remember the events before, Grandpa Atmaja always shed tears. How lonely and suffering he was after Rinjani's departure first. He thought that his spoiled and crybaby grandson would return home and could not bear a simple life, because he was used to living with a pool of treasures. In fact, until almost 11 years, the new grandson came to see him after he said he missed and wanted to meet.
"Grandfather, sleep if sleepy," Rinjani said when he saw his three children were asleep, while the grandfather was still awake.
"Grandfather is not sleepy," Grandpa Atmaja replied with a faint smile.
"You should also go to sleep" Bagaskara told Rinjani, who was in the back seat with Attar. Azzam sat in the front seat beside Bagaskara. Aqilah and Grandpa Atmaja sat in the middle seat.
Finally they reached Rinjani's house in the afternoon. Their return was welcomed by Mr. RT and Ms. RT whose home was not far from their home.
"Alhamdulillah, finally you go home too," said Mr. RT.
"Thank God, Mr. RT. Meet Sir, this is my grandfather," said Rinjani introduced Grandpa Atmaja to Mr. RT and Ms. RT.
They also talked on the porch of the house, because the chair was placed there. Grandpa Atmaja saw his granddaughter's house which was very simple, but beautiful and clean. Many plants are grown in the yard.
Mr. RT tells a lot about the life of the family of Dewa and Rinjani. Just this time Grandpa Atmaja heard of the figure of a God who was so respected and respected by the people. Although the man was dead, but the villagers still often mentioned his name, because so much good was done by him during his life.
True to the proverb 'Dead face leaves its tusks, dead tiger leaves its daggers, and dead man leaves his services.' Sometimes a person is called good or bad, when people talk the same thing about him or her. Although not all of it is true, there could be a spiteful to him, so that slander spread. Only time will tell the truth.
'It turns out that Rinjani did not choose his life companion wrong, first. Stupidly I don't want to know the figure of God first. Even though Rinjani had told me about her kindness and her behavior that made her love him, I thought of her as just a prank, because her eyes were blinded by love.' (Atmaja Grandpa)
"Grandfather, let's go to the field, yuk!" take Attar to Grandpa Atmaja. This little boy wanted to show him and his friends playing together.
"Don't you, honey. Grandpa is still tired and needs to rest. Tomorrow, will you?" rinjani said to her youngest son and Attar nodded.

Early this morning he and Attar were walking around the village with Bagaskara. Many places they came with clues from Attar. Where Azzam often sought fish and Aqilah took kale. A place where cats play, play football, or where they play bicycles.
"Grandfather, do not want to stay here until the children finish school. Probably about ten months away," Rinjani said.
This morning he asked Aqilah and Azzam. They want to live in the capital with Grandpa Atmaja. However, Rinjani wants to settle unfinished business first here.
"Grandfather wants to live anywhere, as long as he can be with you and the children" replied Grandpa Atmaja.
"Thank God, thank you, Mother." Rinjani hugged her grandfather with a feeling of pleasure. Finally, the Rinjani family could gather together.
In the past, Dewa wanted to build a place to teach children in the village to be more complete and spacious. So Rinjani also went to Pak RT, Pak RW, and the madrasah management foundation, they discussed this. They all agreed, even Pak Haji Umar land next to the madrasah was purchased by Rinjani to make the building wider and more class. Rinjani also provides a playground such as swings, slides, and seesaws so that children can play there too.
The people in the village frenzied because they only knew that Rinjani was a rich man. Even the houses of Mbah Surip, Mbok Mirah, and Mak Ijum were renovated to make them more livable. The roads in the village were also repaired to make it smoother. Some farmers also bought new equipment and seeds. The sick neighbor Rinjani takes to the hospital and bears all the costs.
"Thank God, everything can go well. Debt to Dirga. He said he could come tomorrow because he was busy. I can't wait to get everything done" Rinjani murmured.
This week Rinjani is busy here and there. He wanted to quickly be able to carry out what he and the Gods had planned.
***
Today Dirga came to Rinjani's house, how happy she was when she got a message from the woman a few days ago. He wanted to come that day, too. However, what power he has to complete a big project. He did not want to lose to his brother. He will also prove to his father that he is capable.
"Assalamualaikum" hail Dirga.
"Rinjani!" call Dirga again.
***
Will Rinjani know Dirga is Bagaskara's sister? Or is the truth still hidden? Wait for it to go, yeah!
