Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
89. Worrying about Grandpa

°°°

Rara just blinked her eyes when almost if six in the afternoon, her sleep was so good because of fatigue.

"Euggghhh..," Rara stretched her body.

"I overslept as it turned out, it was almost Maghrib. I have to take a quick shower." Monologue Rara looks at the clock on the wall of her room.

After a short bath Rara also performed Maghrib prayers, not forgetting the words of gratitude he always promised. Pray for the people around her, especially her husband, so that the husband is always given health because he is busy.

After Rara finished straight down to cook dinner, usually if it comes down a little late the waiters have started cooking. Rara just did what she wanted.

"What is Grandpa coming home for?" ask Rara to bi Mur.

"Not yet, is it possible he's overtime tonight." Guess bi Mur because usually his employer will be overtime when the sun has set but has not returned home.

"But said Brother Revan, grandfather had dinner at Bi's house." Rara is also confused, if something should happen to her grandfather. He should call to make sure.

"Did I just call Revan Bi, to make sure Grandpa was home or still there. I'm a little worried, I don't feel good." Rara was very worried about Tio's grandfather, he was the one who was very welcoming to this house when Rara first came.

"Yes Non, better just like that." Bi Mur also agreed, however, that Tio's grandfather was an excellent employer.

"Before bi," Rara reached into her pocket, but it turned out that her phone wasn't there.

"My phone's in the room like, I'll take it for a second. Aunt please continue cooking."

"Wait Non, just use your aunt's phone to make it faster." Bi Mur thrust out his phone.

Rara agreed, fortunately Revan immediately raised a call from her.

📞"Hallo bi, what's up?"

Brother Revan must think I'm Mur's bi. Think Rara.

"It's me sister" answered Rara.

📞"Rara, what's up. Did something happen?"

"No brother, I just wanted to ask. Is Grandpa still there or is he home?" ask Rara.

📞"Grandfather seems to have gone home since earlier, has grandfather not arrived home?"

"Not Brother," Rara's worries increased.

📞"Relax, maybe grandpa will be there soon. Or dropping by for a while."

"Hopefully like that, sister," said Rara, she did not share her concerns with her husband. Fear of making her husband think.

📞"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Ehh. no sister," said Rara, did not catch what her husband meant.

📞"True, when I want to be asked has eaten or not. But yeah, I don't think my wife's worried about her husband."

Rara looked at bi Mur's cell phone screen, did she not make the wrong call. Is that really her husband?

"This is Kak Revan's number" murmured Rara.

Suddenly she remembered, how her husband's attitude was this afternoon when he was reluctant to go back to leave.

It seemed like from this moment on Rara had to compensate for her husband's attitude like that.

"Have you eaten?" ask Rara who doesn't want to make her husband think that she isn't paying attention to him.

📞"Not yet, I'm not hungry. I want to eat you..."

As soon as Rara's cheeks flushed to hear her husband's words, of course she knew what the words meant. And there were the servants who would have seen it, even though they did not hear their talk but still Rara was embarrassed.

Revan repeated his words.

"Sister, I'll continue cooking. It's not good to use bi Mur's phone either." Rara reasoned that she was ashamed.

📞"Alright, I also want to continue my work. Don't wait for me at night, go to bed if you're sleepy. But I know you won't be able to sleep if I don't hug."

Rara was unable to feel, her cheeks became reddened to hear her husband's words. How could Revan say that? yes although Rara admitted it is true if in the warm embrace of her husband, her sleep is getting better.

"Daahh Brother, assalamualaikum." Rara chose to end the phone call.

📞"Wa'alaikumsalam."

While Revan was very content to flirt with his wife, he was sure that by this time his wife's cheeks would have been very red. It felt like hearing a voice from the wife was able to restore her mood.

Revan deliberately said that to his wife so that Rara's mind was not too worried about grandfather. He could guess where Grandpa was going at the moment. Usually once a week, Grandpa has to do a check up at the hospital.

However, Revan did not want to tell Rara. Let your own grandfather tell them all, because Revan knows also because he found out for himself.

"Grandfather should be fine" he asked expectantly.

Back to the house.

Rara was still blushing in shame while stirring up the cuisine. She did not think, from which her husband learned such sweet words.

While bi Mur, did not ask again. Looking at his blushing nona face, he was sure that nothing had happened to his master.

A few minutes later, Grandpa arrived home. Grandfather approached his son-in-law's granddaughter who was preparing dinner.

"Assalamualaikum son."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Kek" answered Rara, kissing her grandfather's hand.

"Your husband is overtime, do you know," said grandfather.

"I already know Kek, Brother Revan told me this afternoon. Is grandpa sick? Why is Grandpa's face so pale." Worry Rara. Grandfather's paled and haggard face made him think so.

"Grandfather's okay, son. Just tired." Grandpa tried to smile.

"Grandpa just rest in the room, let me bring his dinner to grandfather's room later," said Rara.

"Alright, grandpa go to the room first. Come on Ahmad." Grandpa also walked towards the elevator in aid of Mr. Ahmad who was always beside him. He did not dispute what his granddaughter-in-law said because indeed his body felt very weak at this moment.

Rara continued to look at the back of the grandfather who was walking, for some reason it felt like her heart hurt to see the condition of grandfather. However, he could not ask much even though he felt Grandfather was hiding something behind the word 'it's okay.'

"Bi, do you also feel like there's something Grandpa's hiding?" ask Rara.

"Maybe it's the old man who's exhausted Non." For bi Mur who has worked there for decades is certainly very aware of it. He also knew what caused his master's face to pale. But back again, he was just a servant in that house. He has no right to tell about his master's situation.

"But I don't think grandpa's okay Bi. I hope it's just my feeling. I hope Grandpa can be healthy always and live long."

Not having time to feel the affection of grandfather, Rara certainly felt very grateful to be able to get it from Tio's grandfather. Her own grandfather, who was a friend of Tio's grandfather, died when her brother was a child.
