" Aditya how much do you hate me?" ask Harison again.
" Cake, what grandfather is talking about no one hates grandfather. Aditya doesn't hate grandpa at all, let's stand cake. Don't be like this. Grandpa doesn't deserve this to Aditya. Grandpa is a parent who must be respected" said Felly who continues to try to invite Harison to stand.
" No Felly. I don't deserve respect. I am an old man. But I don't deserve respect. I failed to become a father, a son-in-law and a grandfather" Harison said with great regret, looking out at Aditya, who was very cold.
" I I never listened to the words of that 10-year-old man. I let her cry shouting at her mother. I let her rebuke for fear of her brother leaving. I let him carry the burden all this time. I don't deserve to be his grandfather" said Harison, who realized his mistake.
" for 17 years he had to endure it all himself. He has to be like this. Only because of my injustice and my unwiseness to him. He has become a victim because of me," Harison continues to confess his stupidity in front of Aditya. Aditya still did not respond to anything. But his eyes were still and trying to hold back. So that her tears do not fall.
Felly stood up to Aditya holding her husband's cold arm but her husband was seen by grandfather.
" Aditya come on, don't let grandfather kneel like that. Aditya I beg you to stand up. Aditya whatever the problem is. It's inappropriate for a grandfather like this" said Felly, who tried to enlighten her husband.
" No Felly. I deserve to be like this. I was so low and not worthy of respect. I've ruined my daughter-in-law's life. Life to 2 my grandchildren. My respect is gone. I don't deserve to be respected anymore" Harison said.
" No cake, whatever the problem. Grandpa is the leader and doesn't deserve this" Felly said.
Felly held her husband's cheek and tried to make her husband see her. And Aditya saw Felly with Aditya tears that eventually fell and Felly immediately wiped him and nodded his eyes.
As if to tell her husband. What happened was not his grandfather's fault and tried to get Aditya to give the door an apology and not let the person he respected deeply have to bow down.
Aditya took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. Then looking down, looking at the old man who was crying with regret. Not long after Aditya immediately knelt down just like his grandfather and hugged his grandfather.
" Why never listen to me?" aditya asked with her broken cry in her brother's arms.
" Why grandpa let mom get kicked out, why grandpa let everything happen. Why not listen to what I say. I'm afraid to yell at Grandpa to get Grandpa to trust me. But did Grandpa never trust me. Grandfather ignored me," said Aditya who again let out his feelings.
" Mama's life suffers from cake. Mama died with her illness and grandfather never helped her at all. Grandpa also let Elijah's sister in the asylum. Why cake. Why did Grandpa do all that to me why not trust me at all" Aditya said in Harison's arms.
" I'm sorry Aditya's grandfather. Forgive grandfather," Harison could only apologize.
Regrets come too late. That trouble. Aditya doesn't hate his grandfather. He hated his father more. Because what happened at that time his father was responsible. Not Harison. Only in my dear Harison did not act at that time.
And back everything is summed up in regret. Felly who was standing also could not bear to not drop her tears. Seeing the granddaughter and grandfather crying hugged Felly along to cry and also touched by the incident in front of his eyes.
***********
Again, because of his wife's encouragement. Aditya can reconcile with his grandfather and confess what happened not because of his grandfather. But still Harison considers him guilty in that regard.
Aditya and his wife had gone home after hugging each other to spill their feelings on the grandfather.
Harison sat on the bedside staring at the sleeping woman's face.1 Harison's hand held Elijah's hand and the other rubbed Elijah's hair.
Not knowing how long Harison was in the room until Elijah woke up and opened his eyes slowly and saw his grandfather in front of him. Elijah saw clearly. Her grandfather's sad face, tired look and the eye bags look blackened making Elijah very concerned.
" What grandfather thought a lot?" elijah asked in a hoarse voice which also now held his grandfather's hand. Harison nodded at her grandson's question that even her tears were dripping down.
Elijah immediately tried to sit slowly and get closer to his grandfather and wipe the tears of his grandfather.
" Why resist. Did Elijah do anything wrong?" ask Elijah. Harrison shook his increasingly shattered head upon hearing Elijah's words.
" Why cry, don't cry cake. Elijah will be sad" said Elijah softly with a very sincere look.
" Can Grandpa hug you?" asked Harison in a hoarse voice. Elijah nodded and immediately hugged his grandfather and Harison hugged his grandson tightly with her tears that also fell.
" I'm sorry, Grandpa Elijah, I'm sorry. How can you endure all this yourself. Grandpa was so useless to let everything happen. Grandpa has ruined your life. Your future is ruined Elijah. Forgive grandfather Elijah. Grandpa has taken away your happiness. Forgive grandfather," Harison said in tears that repeatedly said sorry. Elijah also cried with a voiceless cry that could not answer his grandfather's words either.
" Elias anger at Grandpa. Hate grandfather, law grandfather. Grandpa deserves it. Enraged Elijah" said Harison again. Elijah still did not respond and only cried.
Harison took off the hug holding onto Elijah's 2 cheeks by wiping away the tears.
" You hate grandpa?" ask Harison. Elijah shook.
" Are you angry with Grandpa?" ask Harison again. Elijah shook.
" You want to punish Grandpa?" ask Harison. Elijah kept shaking.
" Elia would do nothing to Grandpa. What happened wasn't Grandpa's fault. Elijah did not hate Grandpa. Elijah did not want to be angry with Grandpa. Elijah did nothing to Grandpa. Because only Elijah's grandfather had. Elijah had no one else. Elijah has only a grandfather and Aditya. So Elijah will not do anything" said Elijah who hesitated in front of his brother.
Harison hugged him tightly.
" Why do you have to experience this Elijah. Forgive grandfather Elijah. You can never be a good grandfather. Grandfather can't protect you forgive Elijah's grandfather" said Harison, who continues to apologize to Elijah.
He continues to regret what happened. The destruction of his only grandson was because of his failed act of becoming a grandfather.
