The persuasion from the Aura family, managed to get Grandma to follow their proposal to leave the tomb of Ingrid. Although the persuasion was not only once or twice because they all had to persuade the grandmother with great difficulty, but finally the grandmother complied.
At the residence of the large family of Aura, grandma looked pensive in the back garden. Mama Yara was actually concerned about the condition of the old woman, but given her harsh temper as well as the attitude of the grandmother who had seemed insistent on blaming Rayyan, Mama Yara also lost respect for Grandma.
"Mom, it's gonna be afternoon soon. The weather is also cloudy. Looks like it's going to rain. You'd better just go inside the house," asked Mama Yara politely.
Grandma didn't budge, she seemed to have a lot of thoughts. Perhaps because of Inggrid's sudden departure, also because of his own regrets. I don't know.
Mama Yara again tried to persuade the grandmother of her daughter-in-law. Moreover, he had heard that Grandma was an old friend of Oma Indri. Although Mama Yara also already knew the bad news about the attitude of the grandmother to her in-laws, but did not make it an excuse to reciprocate the actions of the grandmother with bad behavior as well.
"Mom, I haven't filled my stomach yet either. Let's eat, Mom. Bi Dima had already prepared the food for the mother. Don't you hesitate."
This time Grandma turned to Aura's biological mother. Then she responded to Mama Yara's invitation with a slow slit.
"Yes, I went in first, Mom. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call anyone in this house for help." Mama Yara gave up. Besides, he couldn't have forced Rayyan's grandmother on and on.
As soon as Mama Yara went into the house, Grandma went back to daydreaming there. He noticed a cloud in the sky, as well as a deep breath of air that began to feel cool around.
"Mar ..."
My grandmother looked at someone who called her. Apparently there he found Oma Indri who approached him in the Veranda.
"I know Inggrid's departure must have taken you by storm, but you have to let it go, Mar." Oma Indri spoke again, though grandmother did not reply as she called out to him.
"The human life line already exists that governs. Whatever happens to us there is a scenario from which power. And we can only live it, then choose which way to go. Is the road good or the bad."
Grandma completely twisted the body into facing Oma Indri now.
"You know what?" Suddenly he uttered words. "You won't know what I'm feeling, Indri," he said.
Oma Indri commented on the smile, she was happy that Grandma Marini finally responded.
"Where do you know if I can't feel it?" ask Oma.
"Because you were never abandoned by your son. Look, your son is alive and well now. So, you never felt what I felt!" concluded Grandma.
"Yes, I must admit. I have never felt the loss of a child. Even if I could, I would have been called before him, rather than my son leaving me first."
Negating it, Grandma's cries broke again. She remembers that her two children abandoned her first. Bian died in an accident. And now Inggrid died from overdosing. Why wasn't he the one who was called God first? Isn't he old?
"Why did God take my children first, Indri?" shriek Grandma with bitter tone.
Oma was filled to hear it. But did not stop to say also what the core he wanted to convey from their conversation today.
"Maybe this is a reprimand for you, Mar. God didn't call you any earlier than they did because God still gives you time to change."
Grandma was a little stunned by the words of her former best friend.
"So .. make the best use of the time given by the Lord."
Grandma speechless. Little did he begin to understand if Oma Indri asked him to change for the better.
"You've wasted Bian. I heard you didn't approve of her marriage to Calista until they died. Even their son, Rayyan. You're a waste."
And Oma Indri's speech was very encouraging for grandmother.
"Then, you too have wasted Inggrid's life. You trusted him too much. Until your affection for her is so excessive. You forget that loving doesn't mean always agreeing. Look, what happened to Ingrid. That's a strong rebuke for you because you always obey his wishes. Ingrid grew up to be the woman he always wanted and had to get what he wanted."
Grandma was slapped with the words of Oma Indri-who inevitably had to be Grandma in her heart.
"Now, what have you got out of your attitude all along, Mar?"
Grandma was still unmoved, her mouth was open to answer but clenched back because she was confused herself to answer what Oma Indri said there.
"Bian is gone. Inggrid has also caught up with him. We're old, Mar. Maybe I still have kids I can count on. But you, all you have now is a grandson. That's what you're wasting."
"Did you remember your last attitude toward Rayyan?"
Of course Grandma remembered if she went back to blaming Rayyan this morning at the funeral.
"I hope that all the reprimands that come for you .. can resuscitate you, Mar. Now, only Rayyan can be the focus of your life. He will be the one who can pray for you. Later, if you are called God, let Rayyan have a little sweet memory with you. Do not let you be forgotten by your only grandson, for if you are dead .. Your regrets are meaningless."
Oma Indri left Grandma there after reprimanding her all out.
Grandma's back in the game now. Plus he felt guilty feelings for the granddaughter began to creep in his heart.
Oma Indri was right, who was now the crutch and his only hope was Rayyan. If Rayyan hadn't thought of it, maybe he hadn't been able to live a decent life for a long time.
"Yes, Lord .. forgive me, Rayyan .. forgive Grandma." Grandma seemed to be crying. He wants to see Rayyan immediately.
Perhaps by resting at the feet of his grandson, the grandson will forgive him. I don't know, or maybe Rayyan will retaliate for all her treatment during this time. By not thinking of her as a grandmother? Could be.
Rayyan had been living alone without her parents. Are not their lives the same now. My grandmother no longer had children. He was alone.
If grandma used to treat Rayyan who is alone arbitrarily. It is not impossible Rayyan will reply to the same thing when he has no one?
...***...
Leaving behind guilt, Aura and Rayyan flew to Singapore that very day. For the first time, Aura invited Rayyan to the lion country where there was an apartment she lived in while still actively working at the Oma Indri company based in the country.
"The apartment's been empty for a long time, dong?" rayyan's response as soon as they got there.
"Yes. But occasionally Rion is here," replied Aura referring to her youngest sister who studied there. Although Rion also had his own residence, but occasionally he would come to the Aura Apartment to just stop by. "Soften, there are maids who work to clean every day so here it remains comfortable," continued the beautiful woman.
Rayyan nodded her head.
Now Aura seemed to flick the curtains of his room wide, up from the position of those on the 23rd floor, could see clearly the view of the city which was very crowded with sparkling lights.
"I'm glad I could bring you here." Aura looked at Rayyan. "I used to make this place a place to calm down. So, I want you to be able to calm down here as well."
Rayyan approached Aura who was standing in front of the wide glass, then hugged his wife's body from behind.
"I'm quite calm if I can hug you tightly like a gini" replied Rayyan honestly.
Aura released Rayyan's embrace on her waist, she changed position to face the man.
"I'll pack a sedative for you, so all this time you can avoid all your problems. Just focus on me."
Next to Rayyan's eyebrows rose because of his wife's speech.
Aura then put her hand on Rayyan's neck. Rayyan also commented on the smile without preventing his wife's attitude.
"As long as my legs hurt, I think you've fasted long enough, right?"
Rayyan nodded while making a smile.
"So ..." Aura bit her own lips. "Now you can-"
"Open fast?" serobot Rayyan with a smile full of intent.
Aura nodded her head.
"A sweet cake?" and Rayyan again.
Aura nodded back with a timid look.
"Okay, I'm gonna go get my sedative now!" Rayyan said while holding the nape of his wife and further tightened their distance.
