Chapter 127

At the same time, Indri was in a restaurant that is quite famous in the city of Jakarta. It is clear that Indri is holding a lunch event with his friends who are out of nowhere.

“Wah, just a few days ago you have treated us. Looks like you are very rich,” praise one of them who semeja with Indri.

Indri smiled arrogantly, the woman was very happy to hear herself being praised.

“Oh, of course. My parents have overseas companies and everyday my job is to spend money,” concluded Indri who prides himself.

“Wah, we all envy you,” they said simultaneously.

I still have to look rich in front of them. I feel like I really want to show off my wealth to that village woman. (Inner Indri)

Although Indri has left the Arafat family. Still, he hates Melinda. In fact, Indri was eager to humiliate Melinda in front of the crowd.

After the meal, Indri decided to return to the hotel. He needed rest because the last few days he couldn't sleep well.

“You we interracial?” ask a woman one of them.

“No need, I can go home by myself. My driver will come soon and take me home to the hotel, ” replied Indri who looks like a Miss who has a treasure.

“Alright, if you want to party again don't forget to tell us, okay!”

“Ready, you guys take it easy!” indri Exclamation.

When they all left, Indri decided to take a taxi. After all, he did not have a private driver. More rich families, after all he was born poor and until now Indri still does not want to meet his biological parents in the village.

“I really have to rest, my eyes feel very sad and have to sleep immediately,” said Indri monologue.

When a taxi passed by, Indri swiftly moved his hand to stop the taxi that was speeding towards him. The taxi stopped and Indri hurriedly entered the situation.

“Pak, quickly take me to hotel!” indri orders and mentions the name of the hotel where he lived for a while.

Indri opened his phone and saw the number of messages he received. However, Indri did not intend to open it.

Afternoon.

Melinda kept Grandpa company in the hospital. Melinda acted like a granddaughter to the old man.

What Melinda did, touched the old man. She has no regrets about marrying Melinda to her granddaughter, Raka.

“Grandfather, why watch Melinda keep? Grandpa should sleep, didn't Grandpa hear what the doctor said? Heart disease Grandpa kumat and Grandpa should increase rest,” concluded Melinda.

Almer just nodded gesturing that he understood Melinda's intentions.

“Kakek, does Mas Raka have to be informed about Grandpa's condition?” ask Melinda.

“Don't, Grandpa doesn't want to make Raka think. There's something Raka has to finish there,” replied Almer with a voice that sounded a bit smaller.

“Good, Cake. If it was Grandpa's wish, Melinda wouldn't force it. Now Grandpa is sleeping. Melinda will continue here, accompanying Grandpa,” said Melinda who wants to continue to be in the hospital, accompanying Grandpa Almer.

“Don't, Son-in-law's grandson. Better granddaughter-in-law sleep alone at home, Grandpa does not want when troublesome Grandson daughter-in-law.”

Despite his illness, he was concerned about Melinda's health. This made Melinda moved because Grandpa loved her so much.

“Grandfather, let Melinda stay here huh Cake. Melinda wants to accompany Grandpa here, please grant Melinda's request yes Kek,” pinta Melinda half begging.

“Alright, if that's what the granddaughter-in-law wants. Grandpa slept first yes,” said Almer and slowly closed his eyes.

Not wanting to interrupt her break, Melinda chose to sit outside the room.

Just as Melinda came out of Almer's ward, Ratna was already at the door.

“Ratna, why are you here?” melinda was half surprised

“How can I keep quiet when I know that Mr. Beda is being treated,” replied Ratna who could not stay still after a short message that Melinda sent to him.

“Ratna, I'm just asking you to imagine Grandpa. I don't want you to come, I don't want to trouble you,” Melinda concluded.

“You don't have to feel bad about it, Melinda. The Great Lord has been very kind to me and if I do not come, the Great Lord will think that I am an ungrateful human being,” Ratna said.

“Yes Allah, Ratna. Why do you think like that? Grandpa is not that kind of person,” clearly Melinda is as smooth as possible.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to talk like that Melinda. Sorry, I'm sorry,” Ratna said.

“Ratna, you don't have to apologize. Now you sit here with me, now Grandpa is sleeping. How are you doing now? You look very tired,” Melinda said when she saw Ratna's face was quite pale.

“Melinda, actually I came here to see the Big Master all I want to say goodbye to you,” Ratna explained.

“Ratna, call Grandpa Almer Grandpa Grandpa. Didn't Grandpa ask you to call him by Grandpa's call? And again, what do you mean? Where do you want to go, Ratna?” ask Melinda curious.

“Begini Melinda, I for the next few months want to stay a while at my grandmother's birthplace. Apparently, I still have a brother in the village. It feels, I am very happy because it turns out I still have family,” Ratna said.

“Sumatra island, Melinda. More precisely in Aceh,” replied Ratna.

“Aceh? Well, it turns out you have a brother in the portico of Mecca. I'm jealous, Oya you haven't answered my question. When are you going to get there?” ask Melinda.

“Insya Allah the day after I leave, you're okay, right?”

“So fast? Then, what about your house? You don't have to feel bad for me, Ratna. If you are happy I am happy too, I finally have a family,” Melinda concluded.

“On home, for a while I rented. Yes count some who inhabit my house, rather than I just leave it.”

About 1 hour the two talked, until finally a male doctor came to check on the condition of the Grandfather.

Melinda slowly began to unsettle, she hoped that her grandfather could recover soon.

“Melinda, does Mr Raka know about Grandpa's condition?” ask Ratna curiously.

“Mas Raka has absolutely no idea, Ratna. Grandfather forbade me to tell Mas Raka. As a grandson, I cannot oppose Grandfather's decision. The most important thing now is that Grandpa recovered quickly and Mas could not immediately finish his work in Europe. I actually can not be far from Mas Raka,” Melinda bright down sad.

Ratna as a friend tried to continue to encourage Melinda who was stricken with sadness. Yes, that is the function of friends, encouraging each other when one of them has a problem.

The male doctor finally came out of Grandpa's nursery, Melinda rushed to ask about Grandpa's latest condition.

After talking with the Doctor, Melinda was quite sad because it turned out that Grandpa's age was not long. It made Melinda cry hysterically, Melinda could not afford to lose the figure of Grandpa who had been considered like Grandpa Melinda. In fact, from Him Melinda felt a truly sincere affection.

Ratna, who heard the explanation, cried hysterically. The two of them were crying and hugging each other.

Nightfall.

Melinda and Ratna had just finished praying at the mosque which happened to be quite close to the hospital. After performing the prayer, the two walked to the hospital.

“Where are you from?” almer asked when he saw Melinda and Ratna entering his room.

“We are from the mosque, Cake. How's Grandpa doing now? Is Grandpa's chest still tight?” melinda asked with trembling lips.

Melinda tried her best to smile in front of Grandpa. Although, in her heart Melinda cried because she could not see the old face of Grandpa Almer.

“What's up, daughter-in-law's grandson? Why sad? Will Grandpa's age be any longer?” almer asked and smiled with a warm look.

“Grandfather, why did Grandpa say that? Doctor said Grandpa could be home soon. Why is Grandpa speaking the no-no?” ask Melinda.

Melinda's tears could not be contained anymore, she cried hysterically and ran out of the room.

Ratna, who sees her best friend running out, finally follows to bring Melinda back into Grandpa Almer's nursery.

“Melinda, you can't be like this. Grandpa will be even sadder to see you cry and run out, let's go in again!” Ratna clasped Melinda's hand.

“Ratna, I can't stand it. I really can't, I'm very fragile. I don't want to lose anyone I love anymore, Grandpa is one of the families I love more than myself. If you can choose, I want to replace Grandpa so that Grandpa does not leave this world first,” Melinda said who continued to cry.

“Melinda what are you talking about? You can't talk like that. Please don't say a no-no.” Ratna clasped Melinda's hand tightly and continued to plead for Melinda to stop saying such inappropriate words.

Melinda closed her mouth tightly and tried to stay calm by managing her pretty messy breathing. After feeling enough, Melinda decided to go back into the Grandpa's room.

“Kakek seems to have slept,” said Ratna in a very soft voice when she had just entered the room.

“Ratna, sorry for what I said. Now that you rest, I want to sit next to Grandpa.”

Ratna gave a small nod and slowly laid her body on the mat that had been covered by a blanket thick enough, so that the coldness of the floor would not be felt by Melinda or Ratna.

Melinda sighed and touched Grandpa Almer's hand. When Melinda looked at Grandpa Almer's face, Melinda knew at once that the old man was pretending to be asleep.

Did Grandpa deliberately pretend to be asleep? In fact, I could clearly see Grandpa's eyes twitching despite being in a closed position. (Inner Melinda)

Melinda touched Grandpa Almer's wrinkled hands carefully.

“Good sleep, Grandpa. Heals quickly, Grandpa, the doctor has told Melinda about Grandpa's condition and it turns out Grandpa is just exhausted. Anyway, Grandpa should have enough rest and hopefully get well soon,” Melinda said.

After saying that sentence, Melinda got up from her seat and joined her body near Ratna who was not yet asleep.

“Ratna, why haven't you slept? Didn't I tell you to just go home, I don't want to trouble you,” Melinda said as she turned to Ratna next to her.

“I want to sleep, when I'm asleep, Melinda. Oya, being in the hospital reminds me of Grandma's house. Now, Grandma has been happy together with both my parents in heaven,” Ratna concluded.

“You are patient yes Ratna, someday we will meet with both of our parents in Heaven,” Melinda replied with a sweet smile towards Ratna.

“Wah, our friendly relationship is very unique. Equally orphaned,” explained Ratna.

“You could have,” Melinda told her best friend.

Yep. They were two women who had become orphans. Even so, it is clear that they are strong individuals with mental steel.
