Love, Life, and Jennifer
Grandma part II


Clara! My cousin and best friend! About Clara, this beautiful and fashionable girl who is only one age gap below me has the opposite nature to me.


Clara is a girl who pays close attention to every detail of her appearance, whereas I don't.


Clara who can be aggressive, if she is near someone who attracts her attention, is different from me, who prefers to avoid people who interest me.


A lot of things about Clara are hard for me to say, but in addition to all of them, Clara is a nice and fun person.


"Ko' you've come?" I said to Clara who has now kissed Grandma's forehead


"Yeah donk." He then hugged me tightly. "Kangen bangeeettt I'm just like you, Nyet!" Then decipher his embrace.


"Datan emang you yes!" I said as I pinched Clara's nose, then hugged her back. "Gw is also very confused with you, Raaaa...."


"Get well soon, look at the grandchildren of rich grandmother' gini." Grandma smiled at our behavior, Clara immediately took off my embrace, and turned towards grandma


"How quickly healed, people eat that hard!" Clara folded both her hands


"Itaaa..." Grandma put up a mimic as if asking Clara not to continue her words.


"Mom, I'm talking facts, yeah... Grandma's..."


"Udaayahh... As long as I'm around, grandma won't have a hard time eating anymore!" My grandmother smiled too


"Believe me, I'm mah!" Clara looked annoyed, and I immediately embraced it until finally Clara smiled again.


"By the way, Jen... Have you met your future man?" Clara looked at my face, and I turned to look at the grandmother who now looked wrong.


"-I mean you?" I said, then turned towards Clara.


I was a little surprised how Clara found out about this.


"Mom..." Grandma seemed to want to stop the conversation. As for Clara, she looked confused now.


I immediately stood up, and walked over to Grandma. I seem to realize something. I don't know if this is just a coincidence, or if it's already been planned. One thing is certain, I just want to make sure, that my current evil thoughts are not true, until finally, I ventured to ask the things that I really did not deserve to say to grandma.


"Grandma's really sick, isn't she?" My words emphasized a little, Grandma looked sad to hear my words earlier


"Jen, you're crazy, yeah! Grandma is sick, is she! Where there's no fooling around." Clara's protest looked upset at my attitude towards grandma


"Ara, ko' called her Jen, should be a sneak." Grandma tried to shift my question


"Mr..." I reaffirmed my question, and Clara again protested my attitude


"Jen, that's actually a... "


"Mi..." Papa suddenly entered the room with a very gloomy face.


The three of us turned to look at Papa who was now holding tightly to Grandma's hand.


I watched carefully the look on my face that exuded deep sadness, and the look in my grandmother's eyes that showed me as if she was resigned to anything.


"Joseph, mommy already knows." Grandma smiled gently, then returned papa's hand. Papa's tears can't be contained anymore.


"W-What's up, pa..." My voice is a little stifled. Papa did not answer my question, while grandma, grandma, was staring at me


"Jen darling... Soon, grandma won't be sick anymore..." Grandma said in a smile that I could hardly understand.


Papa suddenly came out from inside the room, after hearing Grandma's words just now. And Clara, her eyes began to glaze over, then chose to come out of the room. While me? I'm still confused by this situation. I looked at the granny who was currently smiling with a blank look towards the entrance of this room. I walked up to Grandma, looked her in the face, then clasped her hand.


"grandmother..." I said softly, Grandma turned her head towards me, still with the same smile.


Grandma's face was glowing, I don't know! Looking at grandma like this, my heart really felt bitter. Grandma returned my hand.


"Jen... Sorry grandma, yeah..." Grandma said as she kissed my hand, then placed it on her cheek. My tears just flow.


I hugged Grandma


"Sorry Jen, grandma... Sorry Jen..." I said softly, Grandma stroked my hair


"Jen... Grandma's time isn't long..." I immediately took off my embrace, and looked at Grandma


"No!!! Jen didn't want to hear grandma say that!"


"Jen..."


"Grandmother must heal! Grandma would say, want to see Jen wearing a bridal dress like barbie who was then grandmother giftin to Jen..." I said while wiping my tears, Grandma grasped my hand


"So.. Jen wants to marry Young Joon?" Grandma's eyes sparkled...


I was stunned to see the expectant gaze from grandma, until I finally nodded...


"Jen will do anything to rejoice grandma..." My words were steady, and Grandma smiled happily...


...****************...


 "The only organ in mommy that works, only the heart..." Papa came back crying after saying that.


Mama hugged papa's shoulder, and drowned her face there, and then Sam, she hugged his wife's body tightly which was unable to stem her tears.


Me and Clara... We were both confused about what to do, because of how they felt, we felt it...


"The chance of mommy living, is only 20%..." Our cries all broke in the hospital waiting room, that night.


I immediately got up, and ran towards the room where Grandma was...


I ran as fast as I could to get to Grandma's room as soon as possible...


I want to hold my grandmother tight...


I wanted to apologize to him for hurting his heart...


I kept running, until accidentally my body hit the push table that was being carried by a nurse, until what was on it, fell all.


"Sorry..." I said to the nurse, then ran back...


Grandma, yes... Grannies... I should get to him as soon as possible.


I had arrived right in front of my grandmother's room, opened the door slowly, then stepped in slowly, and continued to look at my grandmother's deeply asleep face...


He smiled in his sleep, as if he did not feel any pain, which was actually gnawing all over his body.


His face is so shady...


I stopped my steps, right in front of the bangkar, and wiped my tears, then walked up to Grandma, and immediately hugged her.


"Sorry Jen..." Only that word came out of my mouth...


...****************...


 The next day...


"Jennys... Dear... Wake, beautiful... Jenny.." - Jenny..." I heard my grandmother's voice calling my name, and the soft caress of her hand on my head that was sleeping right next to her, with the position of the body on the chair beside the bangkar. I'll wake up soon.


"Pulse... Uh... What does grandma need?" I asked in a hoarse voice, typical of people who just woke up, then immediately straightened my body from the chair.


"Jen... Jen went home first... Granny look at Jen sleeping rich' earlier, must have hurt Jen's body..." Gentle grandmother said, I smiled, then gently stroked Grandma's hand


"Badan Jen's not sick ko' grandma... Grandma is calm. By the way, grandma's breakfast hasn't come yet?" I asked grandma


"5 more minutes at most, it's only 7 less than five." Answer grandma


"Yes, if so, Jen wash your face first huh, grandma." I said, and grandma nodded faintly.


Just as I was about to enter the bathroom inside this room, suddenly a nurse, and a doctor came with medical equipment. I postponed my plans, and chose to approach them.


"Good morning, oma... How is he doing now?" Ask a doctor who seems to be my papa age who is friendly, then install a stethoscope


"That's great, doc... My granddaughter has come." Grandma said while showing with her chin. The doctor and nurse smiled at me.


"Oohh, this is the granddaughter of the oma who often told that story, huh?" The doctor said kindly to me, I nodded and smiled.


"In check first yes, oma..." The doctor then examined the grandmother.


The doctor's face looked slightly stiff after examining the grandmother, as well as the nurse who was recording the results of the examination. Grandma realized that.


"Doc..." Grandma broke the silence


"Yes, oma..." Doctor, smiling


"About my time is not enough, until the blessing of my granddaughter?" Grandma's eyes glazed over when saying this, but still smiling, to make the atmosphere back silent.


The doctor immediately approached the grandmother, and sat down beside the grandmother, then grabbed her hand, and smiled.


"Omm... Seeing the spirit of oma to heal, family support, and god's permission. I believe, what the oma hoped for, will surely come true." Speak to the doctor with teary eyes.


"Importantly oma eat it is not difficult, continue to take the medicine must be willing." The doctor said again, then got up from his seat and the grandmother smiled.


"Whatever I'm going to do, the important thing is to see the blessing of my grandson." Grandma is excited.


"Naaah... That, dong! Gotta spirit!" Speak to the doctor, clenching your hands into the air.


We all smile.


"Okay, it's over for the morning, I'll excuse you, oma..." Doctor said to grandma.


"His grandmother was told to eat a lot yes, brother..." The doctor told me


"Surely, doc." Then the doctor and nurse left us.


After the death of the doctor and also the nurse earlier, I immediately approached grandma, and clasped granny's hand


"Ko's grandmother said so!" Whiney. Grandma was smiling again


"Keep grandma should say what, donk?" Grandma is teasing me now.


"grandmother... "


"Excuse me..." A nurse came, carrying a pushtable with food on it.


"Oma Lie, this is breakfast." He said while arranging a bowl of porridge, and water on the table that is specifically intended to put a special dish of the patient.


"This is the cure, taken 5 minutes after eating yes, oma..." He said, and I immediately approached the nurse


"Thank you, Sus." I said with a smile, and the sister returned my smile.


"Oma wants me to... "


"There's my ko' Sus." I immediately interrupted the sister's remark


"Okay, if you'll excuse me, yes." The nurse said, then passed.


I immediately grabbed the bowl with the porridge, then sat down next to Grandma, about to feed her


"It's gotta go, grandma! If not, I don't want to get married!" Threaten me, smiling. Grandma laughed at my threats


"Serach is a threat..." And we laughed too.


Although in the end, grandma did not finish all the porridge, at least it was only a little left.


I went straight to the bathroom, was about to wash my face, just after I finished giving Grandma the medicine.


When washing my face, I remember what my grandmother said to the doctor.


My heart aches remembering that.


But I can't cry! Yep! Grandma can't see me sad.


I have to be excited, so that Grandma can recover quickly, even if the chances are very small...


When I was brushing my teeth, I faintly heard some people coming, and invited my grandmother to talk. There were mama and papa voices there. They talked in Mandarin, I could understand their conversation, because I was quite fluent in that language.


And a man spoke a language I could not understand, but my grandmother could answer it eloquently!


To my knowledge, my grandmother was fluent in Mandarin, Korean, and Dutch.


Maybe the guy was speaking Korean.


I was very fluent in Mandarin, so I understood when they, including my mom and dad, spoke that language, but not the other guy.


Who're they?


Actually I don't feel alien to that voice, it's just...


I immediately rinsed, and went back to washing my face, then came out of the bathroom, to find out who was currently talking to my grandmother and my parents.


When I get back...
