Jakarta, Indonesia.

Grace immediately hugged the body of the old man who loved her. His blue eyes, like Mike, look teary.

"Grandfather, I miss you" he said softly. Aaron raised his right hand and gently rubbed the back of his granddaughter. Then coughing.

"Grandfather!" exclaim Alice as she approaches. Aaron smiled and spread out his other hand. Until his two beautiful grandchildren were in his warm embrace. Although these two girls are not at all similar to Keysa who has an Asian face. Aaron still feels they are another incarnation of his daughter. Grace and Alice look more like Mike's father. European women's faces as well as bright eye beads. Blue and green.

"Oh God!" mike looked at his two daughters. Keysa who was next to him chuckled. She knows, now her husband is pretending to sulk because Alice and Grace immediately hugged Aaron after coming. Didn't even say hello to Mike at all. That has a reason, Mike educated his two daughters firmly. So that Alice and Grace are closer to Aaron who likes to spoil them.

"Come Mike!" keysa said as she rubbed her husband's arm. Mike rolled his eyeballs. Aaron, who saw Mike's annoyed face, laughed. Alice and Grace chuckled. Then he approached Mike and hugged the man who had become their first love.

"You still remember me hmm?" mike holds his two daughters.

"Almost forgot the truth. Because these two older married couples prefer to honeymoon rather than spend time with their daughters" said Grace sarcasm. Alice simply nodded in agreement as her lips pressed forward like a sneer.

"Hey! We're so young to make a sister for you!" mike said with pride. Both of Keysa's cheeks blushed but her eyes glared fiercely at her husband.

"Yes, try your hardest" said Grace, then chuckled. Aaron who looked at the four people felt his heart warm. He looked at them with teary eyes. He was very happy when he saw his daughter Keysa was now a parent. For a father, the biggest step in his life is agreeing which man will look after his daughter in the future. A husband who really has to love him with all his heart.

When Mike came to him and said he wanted to marry Keysa. Aaron certainly did not agree. But as time went on, Mike showed a good attitude and was well-deserved to be Keysa's husband. Seeing Keysa who also looked at Mike always with love. Aaron agreed and approved of them.

Bruk!

The voice made Mike and his wife and two daughters stare at the origin of the sound. Their eyes were perfectly rounded when they saw Aaron lying on the floor helpless.

"Grandfather!" cry Grace out loud.

Keysa waited in the ER room with tears in his eyes. Mike sat next to him holding his wife's hand. As if giving strength and through the eyes, Mike seemed to say everything would be fine.

"I told Dad to stay in the room. Don't take a walk or it's better to use a wheelchair but .." Keysa's speech is interrupted. It is continued with a slow sobbing. Aaron has a history of chronic diabetes. For years, his father had suffered from this disease. Various kinds of treatment are done but still, as a parent, Aaron sometimes mischievous and complain when asked to take medicine and do not eat sweet foods.

Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels in the body. High blood sugar levels and uncontrolled can make diabetics often feel thirsty. They become frequent drinkers and will automatically urinate frequently. Some other symptoms of this diabetes, namely often tingling, numbness, long-healing wounds, and fatigue. This also makes Aaron weaker than David in the past. Because Aaron is tired very quickly. His immune system is not as strong as it used to be when he was young.

In addition, uncontrolled diabetes in the long run can damage blood vessels and nerves. As a result, diabetics can experience tingling, numbness, or even frequent bedwetting due to damage to the nerves that control the voiding process.

"Calm down, honey" said Mike, embracing Keysa's shoulder.

"Sorry, we've been trying." The half-century-old doctor shook his head weakly.

"No!" Keysa shouted spontaneously. He looked at the doctor in front of him.

"How could it be so sudden!" sling Keysa with red eyes. Mike tried to calm Keysa down.

"Sorry Madam. But Mr. Aaron is already experiencing chronic complications. I apologize once again." the doctor then left them.

Mike knows enough about this. Because Catherine's aunt was a general practitioner. Diabetes can increase the risk of dying suddenly when complications occur.

Complications can occur when people with diabetes do not control the disease, so the condition affects the work of other organs. There are two types of diabetes complications, acute complications and chronic complications.

Mike hugged his wife's trembling body tightly. He knew Keysa loved his father very much. Grace was already sitting weakly with tears in her eyes. Alice who sat next to him was the same.

Aaron's funeral was done quickly to the next day. Sari's sister was there too. Keysa hugged her sister with tears coming out.

After everyone one by one left the funeral home. Alice sat on the porch with teary eyes. Still not expecting, his grandfather left after not long meeting his two grandchildren.

Meeting in the wake of a farewell is something that is very common. Also understood by some humans. But still. Farewell was painful as if there were bruises on the chest. Alice wiped her tears. Then exhale.

For a moment he closed his eyes. While Grace was still daydreaming in her room. Until a cell phone ring makes him jerk. Grace ignored for a moment. But as it continued to ring, it irritatedly picked up the call.

"What!?" cry Grace with enlarged eyes.

Alice on the porch opened her eyes. Choose to stand when the afternoon wind begins to feel piercing the pores. Alice stepped in as a voice stopped her steps.

When she turned around, Alice's eyes widened and looked at the two men her age who were standing before her.

"Baby?"

"Aland!" peek at Grace from behind Alice. He ran and hit Aland's body. Hugged it tightly. Crying in that warm place. Aland rubbed Grace's back gently but her eyes locked onto Alice's emerald eyes.
