The Mafia Bride
Chapter 13: Hardi's grandfather's proposal

That afternoon Siena was sitting on the porch of the home alone, she was thinking about her sister's future. The longer the bigger the expenditure that Siena has to spend. While his salary is not enough to cover it all.

"Yes Rabb.I have to how?" muttered Siena quietly. "Every month I don't have any money left over, even if it's just to keep watch if there's a sudden expenditure."

Siena's daydreams were broken, when she saw a black car entering her yard. He was surprised to see the arrival of Hardi's grandfather with Alya.

"Grandfather? aunty?" he said slowly, he stood up to welcome the two of them.

"Good afternoon nduk," Grandpa Hardi smiled kindly at Siena.

Siena lowered her head for a moment, "grandfather.tante.." Then Siena invited the two of them to sit on a chair.

"Siena sorry yes, because there was no previous appointment to come to see you," said Alya.

"That's okay.I'm not an important person anyway" Siena chuckled.

"Siena.meaning our arrival here.there's an offer for you and your sister."

"I mean grandpa?" Siena was already deg degan, she thought that Hardi's grandfather would match her again. Siena's guess was wrong.

"So this is nduk?" Grandpa Hardi allowed his seat. "Didn't grandfather want to underestimate your ability to care for and finance your sister, but.semenjak Bu Silvi nothing..there is no harm is not it? if grandpa helps ease your burden, nduk?" grandpa Hardi looked at Siena.

"Of course not Kek. with pleasure," replied Siena politely.

"Grandfather knows, since Miss Silvi is gone.all are your responsibility, but can you guarantee everything Siena?" Siena shook her head. "Well, we mean to take over your sister's responsibilities. This is all grandfather did for your brother's better future." Siena fell silent, she tried to digest all of Hardi's grandfather's words.

"Tante and grandfather, intend to move the child to a larger orphanage and its many caretakers. It just so happened that we were managing the orphanage. It is located in East Jakarta," Alya explained Hardi's grandfather.

"If you don't mind, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we can move the children to a more decent and secure home. It's not that we're condescending to you or distrusting your efforts." Grandpa Hardi folded his hands for a moment. "There the facilities are all guaranteed.and your sister can go to a higher level.how?" ask Grandpa Hardi.

"Of course you can also go there and take care of your sister if you want.or.if you can't come along for work.no problem.you can still visit..stay or finance them as you please Siena." Alya was more clear.

Siena nodded her head in the sign she understood, "grandfather..tante.Can I have a day to think and discuss it with the children?" siena asked, looking at Grandpa Hardi, then turned to look at Alya.

"Oh, of course, dear" replied Alya.

"Thank you aunt.grandfather.you already care about us."

"Don't hesitate Siena, auntie likes a good, tough and responsible girl like you do." Alya smiled looking at Siena. "It's even better if you're a aunt's daughter-in-law."

Siena blushed in embarrassment, "aunty could have, I just did what my heart thinks is right aunt.." Alya nodded her head staring in admiration at Siena. At first he did not like the idea of Hardi's grandfather to match Siena with Reegan, but since he saw Siena directly. Alya immediately fell in love to see Siena's demeanor and tenderness.

"Oh, of course not grandfather.I am happy to hear this good news," Siena said quickly.

"Then we'll excuse Siena."

"Cock quickly come home aunty?" ask Siena.

"Yes nduk, soon there will be guests who will visit the house," Grandpa Hardi cut.

"Alright kek.tante.terima kadih is ready to stop by."

They nodded their heads, "same nduk." Hardi and Alya's grandfather got up from his seat, and said goodbye to Siena.

***

Siena was pensive in her room, she stared at the sky of the room. All the words of Grandpa Hardi and Alya were thought of by Siena.

"Do I have to give up my sister for their better future? or am I defending them for my own ego?" siena Mumbles. "If you were still around, maybe I wouldn't be this big."

Siena got up and sat on the edge of the bed, "it's good that I talk to the children first, if they agree.then I'll let them all go." Siena stood up, she stepped out of the room and called all the children to gather in the living room. After everything was gathered Siena gathered up the courage to say what Hardi and Alya's grandfather had proposed.

Siena began to tell it to children who had grown up in adolescence.

"Sister.need your opinion.and brother wants to hear what you want to tell brother." Siena looked at her sister one by one. Siena began to listen one by one to their opinions. Some agree and do not refuse to move places. But not for Ranti, Zidan and Sifa. They refused to leave the orphanage they had been living in for a long time.

"So? how'd you make your decision?" ask Siena again to make sure.

"His decision, I, Zidan and Sifa remain here with brother. Likes and sorrows we can pass along with brother.," replied Ranti justified by Zidan and Sifa.

"What about the others?" ask Siena again.

"Sister.we moved from here is fine.we also want high school to be able to live like the others."

Siena nodded her head, "well, if that's what you want, because sister didn't force you to move. Even if you are away from your brother, I will definitely visit you." Siena smiled, she looked at all her sister's sisters with glassy eyes. Who doesn't want to be happy? who doesn't want a bright future? who does not want to have parents even if only adoptive parents. Everyone would want it. Siena hugged her sister one by one.

"From tomorrow you make your clothes and bring your belongings, I hope you feel at home there and do not be naughty. Learn hard, not just smart in lessons. But you must have the expertise and creative for your provision in the future. Time will change constantly.you must be in balance in every change. You understand?" said Siena gives spirit and also message message for her sister.

"Understand brother!" answer them in unison.

"We will never forget all of Mom's messages and sister's messages" Lola smiled and hugged Siena tightly. "We will miss my sister very much. Don't forget us, brother.' Siena nodded her head, all the children hugged each other full of joy. I love the sorrow they have passed together. No one is able to feel when a patience is tested to the limit of ability. Only the Almighty knows, silence is better to be more meaningful in life.
