At Christopher's house. There were neighbors who came to approach Christopher in a hurry.

"Chris .. "call someone. "You're from anywhere. You left your grandmother alone at home. You need to get to the hospital, son. Hurry up .. " said the person in a panicked tone.

"What's? ru-hospital? ta ... " Christopher's speech was cut by the person.

"No but-but, Chris. Your grandmother looked pained and helpless." said the man.

Christopher looked at Alexias sadly without speaking. As if knowing Christopher needed help and confusion. Alexias asked the man.

"Umm, sorry to interrupt. Madam, do you live around here?" ask Alexias.

"Yes, I'm the next door neighbor" replied the man.

"What's really going on? sorry, I talked a lot earlier. But, Christopher looks confused" Alexias said again.

Someone then told me. He explained briefly and clearly what happened to Grandma Christopher. After hearing his neighbor's story, Christopher immediately wanted to leave.

"Wait, Chris. Where are you going?" alexias asked Christopher.

"Grandma's in danger, Uncle. I'm going to the hospital right away." replied Chris straight away.

"You're going to the hospital on foot? I'll drive you. Come on," take Alexias.

The two then walked back into the car. Lora who was in the car was confused and asked. Why did husband and Christopher get back in the car again.

"Darling, what's wrong?" lora asked, just after Alexias got into the car.

"Christopher's grandmother was rushed to the hospital. We're going there now" Alexias replied.

Lora fell silent after hearing her husband's reply. He no longer knows what to say.

"The child must be very sad," Lora said.

The car left around Christopher's house. Driven by Alexias, Alexias, Lora, Christopher and the triplets drive to the hospital.

In the hospital, in the parking lot ....

Christopher and Alexias went inside the hospital building. Lora and the twins are waiting in the car. Lora did not come down because two of her three beautiful daughters were asleep.

"Mommy, was Grandma Brother sick?" ask Odellia suddenly.

"Yes, it seems so. Lia not sleeping?" ask Lora. He looked at Lia who was sitting right next to him.

Odellia shook her head, "No, Mi. I'm not sleepy." she replied.

Lora embraced and rubbed Odellia's shoulder, "Sorry, yes. You guys so go pacing back and forth like this. Forgive Papi and Mami" said Lora. Who felt bad because there was an unpleasant incident. "Our streets must also be delayed because of this. This is all beyond belief, son." he continued.

"It's okay, Mi." replied Odellia.

Lora leaned Odellia into his arms. His hands gently rubbed Odellia's head. Make Odellia comfortable and quiet.

Meanwhile, somewhere else. Alexias and Christopher finally meet Grandma from Christopher. A meeting between Grandmother and Grandchild. Grandma was happy to finally meet Christopher after a day of not finding his granddaughter.

Grandma Chritopher's condition is not good. When talking to Christopher, it was seen if his breath was stretched. When Grandma asked her granddaughter who her granddaughter brought, Christopher immediately introduced Alexias to Grandma.

"Mr, this ... Pa-uncle Alexias. He took me to the hospital" Christopher said.

The Grandma looked at Alexias, "Sorry, it makes you a hassle" she said slowly.

"It's okay. Just a little help," Alexias replied.

Alexias' phone rang, apparently Lora called. Since the triplets were sleeping, Lora wanted to bring the three home in order to sleep comfortably. Lora asks if Alexias is done with Grandma Christopher's business or not. When he wanted to receive a call, Alexias bailed out of the room.

"Sorry, there's a phone" Alexias said then, leaving the room.

Alexias then, received Lora's call.

"Yes, baby." replied Alexias.

"Have you met Grandma Christopher? Did something happen, and how was Grandma doing? ask Lora without pause.

"On his condition I don't know yet. I still want to find a doctor and ask for more details later. What's the matter with you calling me, honey? something happened to you or the kids?" ask Alexias.

"Ah, that. Children sleeping. But, it seems uncomfortable. I mean, if you're done with Christopher's business. I want to take you home." explained Lora. Expressing the purpose and purpose of contacting Alexias.

"Hm, how's this? I haven't bettmeu the doctor hasn't even ascertained the situation here whether it's okay or not." inner Alexias.

"Darling, do you mind. If you go home first with the kids? sorry I don't want to go home. I just want to make sure Grandma Christopher's condition is with the doctor. Yeah, if that's what you allow, too" Christopher said.

"Of course you can, baby. All right, if that's what you want. I went home first, yeah. Later when I've dropped off the kids and changed clothes I'll pick you up and see Grandma Christopher too" Lora said.

"OKs. Sorry, hon. Please be careful driving." Alexias is not really that. But, he also could not ignore Christopher and his Grandma.

"Yes, honey. Do your best for Christopher and his Grandma. Let me keep going" said Lora.

"Ok." Alexias replied briefly.

"Dahhh .. I love you." said Lora.

Lora immediately ended her call. Alexias sent a message to Lora once again reminding his wife to be careful and reduce the speed of being carrying children. After sending the message, Alexias went back inside the room. Meet Christopher and his Grandma.

In the room, Christopher was talking to his grandmother. Chtistopher was crying and his grandmother rubbed Christopher's head. Seeing that, Alexias approached the two then, asking what happened.

"Christopher, are you crying? what's up?" ask Alexias.

"This kid just told me something. Is it true she stole your wife's bag?" ask the Grandma.

Alexias frowned, "He told his Grandmother his crime?" inner Alexias did not understand.

"Yes, that's right. But, it's okay. Chtistopher returned it and admitted his mistake. It's the first time he's been involved in a crime so, we're giving him a chance" Alexias replied.

"Thank you, son. That's very kind of you. Forgive my grandson, yes. Tell that to your wife" Grandma said.

"It's okay. We have forgiven. You don't have to worry and think about this. Christophet we won't report to the police. So, please just focus on your health" Alexias said.

Alexias, Christopher and his grandmother, the three talked about a lot of things. To the point, the shocking thing was told to Christopher and Alexias. If in fact, Christopher is the son of his master son who works as a cook. On hearing that, Christopher Lanytas asked who his biological parents were. And why until he was taken by Grandma's son. Grandma is back to telling stories. She said Christopher's biological mother deliberately asked her son to take Christopher for safety. Because, in the house where Mama Christopher lived there was a cold war.

" ... What's going on, Grandma?" ask Christopher, wondering.

"Your father .. he brought another woman with two boys. Your mother does not want until you are hurt by your Papa's mistress who also has a child from that woman. Because your father and your mother were married because of an arranged marriage. In marriage, there is no love and affection. Mamau is not a woman who gets the love and affection of your Papa, son. That's why your father wouldn't admit you as a child and chose to bring his mistress home." - Hard-earned Grandma said. He tried to make Christopher understand.

"Why is Mama still there?" ask Christopher again to know where his mother is.

Grandma was crying. He felt guilty for hiding the truth from Christopher. Seeing his Grandma cry, Christopher immediately embraced the hands of the Grandma.

"Grandmother, whatever happens. Grandma is my Grandma. Nothing can change that. Grandma's the one I care about the most" Christopher said, holding back his tears.

"Your mom .. she .. she .. she's gone, Chris. When you're one year old, right on your birthday. Your mama who was about to see you and give you a gift, had an accident. The news that Grandma heard, the day before, your mother had a fight with your Papa's mistress. Obviously Grandma didn't know. Even so, Grandma heard from Grandma's friend who was a servant there." explained Grandma.

"I'm sorry, if I interrupt. Where's your Son?" ask Alexias suddenly. He's curious. For not seeing the Son that Grandma spoke of.

"My son was very ill and died a week after bringing Christopher home. Therefore, he asked me to take care of Christopher like a grandson myself. I doubt it, because I really don't want to deal with that family of arrogant rich people. At first, when my son brought Christopher home. I was angry and wanted to take care of him. But, when I saw his cute and handsome face, I was also devastated. It was sad when I struggled to raise Christopher alone. But, I have no regrets at all. Because he was the only one I had after my only son died. Therefore, I always loved him and loved him like my grandson." Grandma said by rubbing Christopher's head.

"Oh, sorry. I have offended." murmured Alexias felt bad. Because I know that Grandma Christopher's son has died.

"It's okay. That is a fact that cannot be changed. I did lose my son. But, I also got this granddaughter of mine, right" said Grandma smiling beautifully.

"Grandmother .." call Christopher sad.

"Cris, can Grandma ask you a favor? go home and go into Grandma's room. In the closet, there's a brown envelope and you can open the contents of that envelope. It was your birthday present from your old mama. Grandma also wants to talk to Uncle who is standing next to you. You don't mind, do you, son?" Grandma looked at Alexias. Waiting for an answer from Alexias.

"Oh, sure. Go, Cris. As your grandmother wished." said Alexias.

"Do I have to go now, Grandma?" ask Christopher.

"You wanna hear the adults talk? it's forbidden, you naughty bastard." seduced the Grandma.

Christopher stood up from his sitting position, "Alright I'll go home. I'm just gonna get that envelope and get back here. I want to accompany Grandma here. Don't want to part with Grandma" Christopher said unequivocally.

"Yes, yeah, yeah. Smart kid, go and get your reward. Then, return. Grandma also wants to spend time with you, my granddaughter." said Grandma smiling again.

Christopher looked at Alexias, "Uncle, can I leave Grandma for a minute? while I'm gone, please take care of Grandma for me." Christopher asked expectantly.

"of course. I'll take care of your grandmother. You just calm down. Oh, wait ... " Alexias reached into his pants pocket and took out some money and gave it to Chrisopher. "You're a taxi to go home. You can also take a taxi to come here again" Alexias said.

Christopher received Akexias's money, "Is this okay? I can just take the bus" Christopher said.

"Don't, the bus has to wait and jam. It's time to go home from work. Just take a taxi. If you're hungry, you can also buy food. No need to worry, your grandmother is safe with me." explains Alexias.

Christopher nodded his head, "Yes, I believe in Uncle. Thank you, Uncle." he said. He then looked at his grandmother and said goodbye. "Mom, I'll go home first. I'll be back later. Grandma had a lot of rest, yeah" Christopher said.

"Yes, honey. Go awayl. Be careful on the road, yeah. You don't have to worry about Grandma. Grandma will be fine waiting for you to come back" Grandma said.

After saying goodbye, Christopher left Alexias and his grandmother. Seeing his favorite grandson had left the room, Grandmother immediately picked up Alexias and asked Alexias for help.

"Son, can I have your help?" ask Grandma.

"Yes, please. If I can and can. I'll definitely help you." replied Alexias.

"Please help me take care of everything for my granddaughter. Ah, I mean Christopher. I know I won't be long. I could feel my son's presence by my side several times. I'm still thinking about Christopher's fate going forward. How he's without me. Because I'm the only person she has." Grandma said sadly.

AlexIias was shocked, "Please, you don't say that. No one knows how old we are in this world. You will definitely be healed. I will ask the doctor to provide the best service, if necessary to find the best doctor" said Alexias, convincing Grandma not to despair.

The grandmother shook her head, "No, son. I was already on my border. I'm asking you for help, because I'm sure you can help Christopher. For his mistakes, you can blame me. Because I he's so, like that. He stole for me, for the sake of this useless Grandma." said Granny sadly, without feeling Grandma's tears flowing down her cheeks.

Alexias was silent for a moment. He does not know if he will experience a situation that he does not understand. Casual and sad feelings mixed into one.

"If you want me to keep an eye on Christopher or help monitor Christopher going forward. I will do. I was planning to put him back in school. Because he told me that he had not been to school for a year and was looking for money. I'm also a father, seeing a kid like that. My heart can't" Alexias said.

"It was my fault too. Because I'm sick and can't keep a bookstall. He asked me to keep resting, while he would open the stall and sell. She decided not to go to school, but when I asked, she just said that everything was okay" Grandma said.

Alexias understands something. He realized, if actually Christopher had a lot of hiding secrets from his Grandmother. Starting from no school, working as part-time odd jobs before opening the kiosk and after closing the kiosk.

"So, Christopher didn't tell his Grandma about his troubles, did he? that kid was totally beyond my expectations. How could such a young child force themselves to squeeze sweat and slam bones for money? I was busy playing and studying. He's been busy working from one place to another." inner Alexias.

The two talk back. Grandma expressed all her wishes. His last hope was for Alexias. After finishing hearing the story and talking to Grandma Christopher, Alexias also urged the nurse to meet the doctor who handled Grandma. He wondered what pain Grandma had suffered and wanted to see the results of the examination.
