Just Just Marrying
Heart expression
"Grandfather..." Lirih Gerry felt the heat on his cheek from Grandpa Surya's slap so hard.
"Why did Grandpa slap me" asked Gerry and then felt unacceptable to his Grandfather's actions.
"You ask why Grandpa slapped you? It should be Grandpa who asked, where is your wife right now?!" Hardik Grandpa Surya made Gerry's body stiffen.
"Mom..." Lirih Mama Riana tried to give calm to her in-laws.
"Java!! Why are you quiet, huh?! Is your mouth not working properly?!" Jerky Grandpa Surya.
"I don't know." Gerry said in the end.
"Don't know what you said?!"

The hard slap floated back on Gerry's handsome face. Gerry's stern jaw seemed to harden not accept with his Grandfather's treatment. In his entire life he never received bad treatment from his grandfather. His grandfather always loved him and always put himself together. And now only because of a woman that Gerry always kept in him to torture him, Grandpa Surya managed to throw his hand slap across his face.
"Mom..." Mama Riana began to cry seeing her only son in a slap so hard in front of her. He wanted to get in the way of his in-laws. But seeing her father-in-law's emotions that had exploded, Mama Riana undoed her intentions. While Papa Johan just silently held back his desire to divorce his parents and child.
"What's been doing so badly to Kyara that she chose to leave you, Gerry?! Didn't Grandpa warn you to be nice to your wife if you still think of Grandpa as your grandfather?! Even though Kyara has sent a message if she is the one who is guilty of this because she prefers other men she loves, but Grandpa knows that it is just a lie to her wits!!" Shake Grandpa Surya again.
Grandpa Surya remembered the message Kyara sent through the green app on her phone. Wanuta sent a message if he gave permission to end his relationship with Gerry because he already loves other men and prefers the man to her husband. Kyara even requested that Grandpa Surya allow her to live happily with the man of her choice.
"Agr..." Grandpa Surya suddenly held onto his chest feeling pain inside there.
"Father..."
"Grandfather..."
"Don't touch me!!" Grandpa Surya threw out Gerry's hand trying to reach his body.
Papa Johan led Grandpa Surya to sit on the sofa in Gerry's room. While Mama Riana chose to take drinking water for her in-laws.
"Broth... Drink first..." Mama Riana offered Grandpa Surya a glass of drinking water.
Grandpa Surya accepted it.
After feeling the pain began to decrease, Grandpa Surya now stared intently at his grandson who showed a guilty face.
"During this time Grandpa always gave you everything you always needed and wanted, Gerry. From childhood Grandpa always tried to give full affection as a Grandpa and parents to you. When you fall, Grandpa is the first person to panic at your situation. It's my grandfather who was always the front man defending you when people hurt you. Grandpa always tries to be a shield for you. And now you're an adult. Just like before, Gerry. Grandpa also wants to see you happy with the right person. And Grandpa's convinced that only Kyara is a match for your life."
"But it seems like you will never appreciate Grandpa's efforts to bring happiness to you. Now Grandpa won't be demanding anything on you, Gerry. Not without reason Grandpa refused Ketty to be your life partner. But if you feel she is your happiness. Then go with him. Grandpa will no longer stand in your way. From now on, you're free. Grandpa won't rule your life anymore."
A look of sadness was imprinted on his old face. It feels useless if he continues to curse his grandson who will never understand the meaning of his heart.
"Johannes... Get Papa out of here..." Lirih Grandpa Surya's.
Papa Johan nodded. His hands stretched out to help his Papa stand up. They came out of the room leaving Gerry frozen.
