The Story of the Children of the Juragan
98. Convince the heart
"Wulan, why did you come home so late in the afternoon?" grandma asked when Wulan had just entered the house.
The beautiful girl broke down a smile, then kissed the cheek of the old woman who had been waiting for her in the living room.
"There's a bit of work that Wulan has to finish grandma immediately. Tomorrow is a holiday, so let Wulan can enjoy the holiday in peace."
Grandma believed in what the young girl before her said, because being a company leader was not easy. There are many things to sacrifice.
"Yes, then you take a bath immediately, so that your body feels fresh."
"Ready grandma." Wulan got up from her seat, then walked towards her room.
Arriving in the room, Wulan immediately took a bath to eliminate the sticky feeling in her body. Then sit facing the mirror while combing her hair.
It was then that he recalled his conversation with Natalie. He also stopped his activities.
"Without me realizing it, I've been doing some activities like Natalie's new understanding. And all that makes me sure to do what Natalie told me.
There will be a phase where I am in love with many people. And there will be a phase where I will be blasphemed by many people because I will make something big change in my life.
But whatever it is, life will keep turning. There is no way that anyone who blasphemes me will forever blaspheme. No one who hates me will forever hate me.
I just need a patient heart to go through all these life scenarios." he muttered, then Wulan took a deep breath.
"Alright, I will make that big change" he said steadily.
He grabbed his phone and notified Natalie with a short message.
"Maybe he's still busy, he'll be repaid." he muttered, then put his phone on the dresser. And he walked out of the room, looking for the whereabouts of his grandma. I certainly didn't forget to lock the door.
"Grandma, why is the grandpa invisible?"
"Hem, he's still busy with his affairs dear." replied grandma while remaining focused on the television show.
"Oh yeah, do you want to eat now?"
"No ma, we wait until grandpa gets home." Wulan said while shaking weakly.
The two watched a television show while conversing and waiting for Grandpa's return.
When Wulan was about to go to sleep, he went back to check his phone. His eyes immediately sparkled when he got a reply from Natalie. He read that line of words carefully.
"Sunday?" how do I ask permission to grandma and grandpa? Surely we will also worship." muttered Wulan a little confused.
"How about afternoon?" Wulan sent a message to Natalie trying to bargain.
Not long after, he finally got a message from Natalie. His friend across there agreed with Wulan's offer. The girl smiled with relief. He could finally sleep peacefully.

A week has passed so quickly. In the morning, the Wulan family went together to worship.
While worshiping, Wulan also listened to what the religious leaders conveyed carefully.
But the explanation given by the man who is highly respected by many people actually makes him confident in his decision.
After returning home from the place of worship, Leon as usual will invite them to eat together. This time, however, Wulan refused. He wants to prepare everything well. And more importantly, his heart.
