Almer's grandfather had been in the hospital for a week and Melinda kept Grandpa Almer company. In fact, during the week Melinda permission not to enter the class because she wanted to accompany Grandpa Almer who was sick.
“Grandpa is bored in the hospital, Grandpa's condition is also good. How about tomorrow Grandpa goes home?” almer asked Melinda.
“Sorry to Grandpa. Melinda can not make a decision, we better just ask the doctor,” Melinda replied.
At the same time, the doctor who used to treat Almer came to give the medicine.
“Dok, can I go home tomorrow?” ask Almer who really wants out of the hospital.
“Big Master, for a while now stay in the hospital. I'll see the health condition of Mr. Big in 2 days, if your condition improves then you can go home,” replied Doctor.
Almer smiled with relief, he was so homesick. He wanted to go back and sleep in his own bedroom.
Melinda cried inwardly, the old Grandpa's desire was really Great to return home. Meanwhile, 3 days ago the Doctor told him even the health condition of the Grandfather was declining. Melinda wishes there was a miracle coming for Grandpa Almer.
“Big Master, you'd better get enough sleep. Doesn't the Big Lord want to go home soon?”
Almer then closed his eyes, it was obvious that Almer's desire to return home was so great.
The doctor rushed out of the room because he had to check the condition of other patients.
Melinda let out a breath that felt very tight. And when Melinda wanted to land her ass on the couch, her phone rang and it turned out that her husband wanted to make a video call.
Melinda of course panicked, because all this time her husband did not know and was deliberately not told by Melinda about the condition of the Grandfather. If at that time Melinda received a video call from her husband, the husband automatically knew that he was in the hospital.
At that instant, Melinda ran as fast as she could out of the hospital area.
Raka kept contacting Melinda and when she felt that she was far from the hospital area, Melinda finally received a video call from her husband.
“Assalamu’alaikum, my dear wife. Why did you take so long to lift a video call from me?” ask Raka.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, my dear husband. Sorry, there was business,” replied Melinda.
“Darling, you why? What's wrong with your face? Are you sick and now where are you?” raka asked and it was very clear that Melinda's face looked unhealthy.
Melinda immediately turned her attention in the other direction. The more she looked at her husband, the more Melinda couldn't lie.
“Honey, why not answer? Oya, has Grandpa been so busy lately? I tried to contact Grandpa but could not be contacted at all,” said Raka who complained to his wife because it was difficult to contact The Grandpa.
Melinda wanted to tell me what happened. However, Grandpa Almer has asked himself to keep it a secret and Melinda was forced to continue to cover up Grandpa Almer's illness.
“Mas Raka dear, our video call, we continue later again yes. My stomach hurts and I want to go to the toilet right away,” Melinda said.
“Well baby, I'll video call later. If Grandpa's home, I'd like a video call with Grandpa too. What are you doing around the hospital? Is any of your friends sick?” asked Raka who realized that his wife was not far from the hospital area.
Melinda was shocked and pretended not to hear what her husband said. Then, Melinda turned off her mobile phone data as if the signal network on her phone was in trouble.
“Huffttt..” Melinda breathed a sigh of relief and re-entered the hospital.
Arriving at Grandpa Almer's room, Melinda slowly walked to the sofa and that afternoon she fell asleep on the sofa.
About 35 minutes Melinda sleeps, Melinda finally woke up and turned to the Grandpa who turned out to be awake.
“Grandfather is awake. Grandpa wants to eat or drink?” ask Melinda.
“Grandpa wants to eat, after that Grandpa wants to drink so that he can get out of this hospital immediately,” concluded Grandpa.
“Wah, Grandpa seems very excited. All right, Melinda's gonna feed Grandpa Almer porridge!” melinda is excited.
Next day.
The hot weather of Jakarta and air pollution is enough to make the skin dry. Melinda that afternoon was standing while looking out at the hospital, from above he could see people who were driving and passing in the daytime which was quite hot and able to sting human skin.
That afternoon, Melinda was quite relieved because the condition of the Grandfather had shown good results. It is estimated that in two days, Grandpa Almer is allowed to go home. On condition, Grandpa Almer should continue taking medicine and get enough rest.
“Daughter-in-law, why are you standing there? Sit down, there's something Grandpa wants to tell you!” pinta Almer to have Melinda sit next to him.
Melinda turned around and complied with Grandpa Almer's request to immediately sit near her.
“Iya, Grandpa. Grandpa wants to convey what?” ask Melinda curious.
“Sorry, Grandpa. Melinda can't, after all, Melinda doesn't know about the company. Melinda was scared, Cake,” explained Melinda who seemed very surprised by what she heard.
“Daughter-in-law, Grandpa hasn't finished talking. Actually, the granddaughter-in-law only needs to come and report to Grandpa anyone when there are important things. The granddaughter-in-law calmed down, in the company there were already some confidants of Grandpa who took care of it during Grandpa's illness. Please help Grandpa ya!” pinta Grandpa Almer to his daughter-in-law's granddaughter.
“Is Melinda okay, Cake? Melinda has no basis regarding the company,” reply Melinda who is very hesitant with herself.
“Keep, if the grandson-in-law does not understand, there will be someone who helps explain in detail to the grandson-in-law,” concluded Almer.
Melinda finally agreed, though she still doubted her ability.
“Thank God,” said Grandpa Almer who finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Melinda's decision.
“Grandfather, Melinda get out first huh. Melinda wants to meet with Doctor,” Melinda said.
Melinda left the room and rushed to see the doctor who treated Grandpa Almer.
“Let's come in, there's something we should talk about,” said the male doctor invited Melinda to immediately enter his room.
Without delaying again, the doctor said that Almer's health condition was not healthy enough. In the future, the Grandfather will experience constant pain if not taking regular medication and also adequate rest. Diseases suffered by Almer, is a disease that is usually suffered by age-age that can be said to be old (old).
Melinda took the doctor's explanation very seriously. However, she must continue to maintain Grandpa Almer's health condition as long as the husband has not returned to Indonesia.
“Quite explanation from me. I hope, Mr. Almer does not come out again. Most importantly, he took regular medication and had adequate rest. That means, he can no longer think of heavy things,” said the doctor to Melinda.
“One more time thank you, Doc. I want to go back to Grandpa's room,” reply Melinda.
Melinda stepped away towards Grandpa Almer's nursery. When she had just entered the room, Melinda saw a man who seemed to be from the company.
At that very instant, Melinda acted as Grandpa Almer's confidant and asked the man to speak to her. Not to Grandpa Almer lying down to rest.
“Sorry, who are you? Are you the one who works in the company?” ask Melinda.
The man asked Melinda a question.
“You can convey company problems to me. Grandpa Almer needs a break, I hope you can understand the meaning of my words,” Melinda said.
Almer smiled in his heart, Melinda looked so graceful, beautiful and also firm. Almer was like seeing someone so wise inside of Melinda Anandi.
Melinda and the man rushed out of the room to talk about the company.
After listening to the explanation from the man before her, Melinda assented and tried to understand the meaning of what the man said.
“Alright, I will try my best to come to the company. Grandfather has given me the opportunity to become a new member in the company, I ask for guidance from you during my work in the company,” Melinda said.
The man smiled broadly, as if he was very happy to see the response from Melinda and would wait for Melinda to join the family-owned company.
Melinda went back inside after the man came home.
“How, will Granddaughter-in-law handle the company immediately?” ask Almer.
Without a second thought, Melinda agreed to take part in handling the company. That means, Melinda must learn more about the company.
“Thank God, once again thank you, grandson-in-law.”
“Grandfather need not thank Melinda, because Melinda has not done anything. Now, Grandpa doesn't have to think about anything heavy. Grandpa's job now and in the future is to take medicine on time which means having to eat on time as well. Also, enough rest. Grandpa can not sleep another night, anyway must be on time,” said Melinda.
“Wah, it turns out Grandson son-in-law Grandpa cruel also yes,” said Almer a little joking.
“Grandfather, this is also for Grandpa's good. Anyway Grandpa should be healthy,” concluded Melinda.
“Siap. Grandpa will be healthy and healthy continue because he is cared for by the grandson-in-law,” Almer told Melinda.
Thank goodness, keep healthy Grandpa. Melinda will try hard to handle the company, so Grandpa no longer thinks about the heavy-heavy thing. Grandpa should focus on healing and Melinda will try to keep Grandpa. (Inner Melinda)
