Arriving in front of Grandma's nursery,
Abraham and the others were startled by the doctor rushing out of the patient's room.
“Mr Abraham, we have done our best to Mrs Erna. But God wants something else. Please family left sincere and steadfast yes, I excuse me!”
Abraham rushed into the room of the Grandmother and saw Grandma who was covered with cloth.
“Grandmother!” Abraham shouted and tried to move his beloved Grandmother's body.
“Mas Abraham!” Asyila pulled her husband's body and hugged him so tightly.
Arumi, Dyah, Herwan and the two brothers also cried knowing that their great-grandmother had gone home to Rahmatullah.
“Nek yut! Why did Nek Yut leave so soon? Didn't Nek Yut want to see Dyah get married?” Dyah touched Erna's hand and kissed her many times.
“Innalilahi wa Inna ilaihi Raji'un.” Arumi and Herwan took turns kissing the old woman's back.
Finally, after decades of living in the world, the Grandmother returned again to the Creator.
Abraham's chest felt very tight, Abraham recalled the times when he was abandoned by his parents and it was the Grandmother who raised him until Abraham managed to become a person who benefited the crowd.
“That's quiet there, Grandma! Abraham will try to sincerely release Grandma, greetings to both Abraham's parents in heaven,” Abraham whispered in the ears of the Grandmother.
Grief enveloped the entire room, they lost a warm, cheerful, kind and nosy old woman like Erna.
“Congratulations Nek road, now the house will feel very quiet. Nothing else will bother Asyila or Mas Abraham, God loves Grandma more,” said Asyila.
Abraham with all his strength reached his cellphone in his pants pocket and contacted the house to prepare the needs of the corpse.
“This is dear!” call Abraham to Arshad and Ashraf who are still weeping.
“Dad!” Ashraf and Arshad cried out to their father and cried in Abraham's arms.
“Dad, why is Nek Yut not waking up?” ask Arsyad.
“Nek Yut's journey has arrived here, son. Now Nek Yut is happy with God,” replied Abraham.
“So, Nek Yut is not happy with Arsyad?” arsyad asked and his cries grew.
“No, dear. Nek Yut and Arsyad are also happy. But Nek Yut is happier and happier in heaven,” Abraham said.
“Nek yut's.. Nek yut's.” Ashraf called his great-grandmother many times.

Abraham came with the ambulance, at home there were many people gathered. Starting from neighbors, relatives and other relatives come to see and deliver the Grandmother to her final rest.
“They are big!” The two housekeepers cried to see their mistress was already lifeless. Erna they've considered like family even they've considered like their own mother.
“Please give way!” pinta is the nurse in charge of delivering Erna's body.
Not wanting to linger, Abraham asked the others to quickly bathe the body of the Grandmother.
Asyila, Arumi and Dyah helped bathe their beloved Grandmother's body.
The family from Bandung came and still did not expect if the Grandmother really had died for ever.
“Mama, Nek Yut died.” She approached her mother and cried.
“Iya, Dyah. We must declare the departure of your great-grandmother, God loves Nek Yut more. Mama and Papa also actually did not think that Nek Yut mu had died,” reply Yeni.
“It's a darling, don't cry anymore. Not good like this,” Temmy told his only daughter.
The funeral was held after performing the Ashar prayer. Abraham and Temmy went down to the burial of the Grandmother in her final resting place.
The bodies were buried in a public burial site or nearby TPU.
Sobs from his family and other relatives still continued to earthy as the ground slowly covered the burrow of the Grandmother.
The struggle of your life is now over, the turn of the younger generation who continue the struggle of life in this world.
You are an old woman who is full of passion, love, love and there is always laughter in your every word.
One by one the worshippers slowly left the public cemetery.
And now there are only a few close relatives and grandchildren of the Grandmother who still want to be in the grave of the beloved Granny Erna.
“Nek, thank you for everything. Thank you for bringing Abraham and Ashila together. Thank you for all the sweet mementos and infuriating mementos Grandma had for us. We will always remember the sweet memories and hilarious memories of Grandma who sometimes made Abraham and Asyila shake their heads,” said Abraham with a little smile when remembering how nosy his beloved old grandmother.
“Grandmother take it easy, Asyila will try to be a good wife and mother to Arsyad and Ashraf. Of course, Asyila in the future Asyila will also be Grandma and Grandma great-grandmother like Grandma,” Asyila said while sprinkling flowers on Granny Erna's grave.
“Nek Yut do not forget to take medicine yes in heaven,” said Arsyad.
Abraham and Ashila looked at each other to hear the words of Arshad who was very concerned about the habit of the Grandmother who regularly took drugs.
“Arsyad... In heaven Nek Yut does not need to take medicine anymore,” said Dyah by touching both shoulders Arsyad.
“Why is Nek Yut not taking medicine anymore? Is it in heaven not selling medicine?” arsyad asked so innocently.
“Not sell medicine, Arsyad. But in heaven, Nek Yut is healed,” said Dyah.
Arsyad nodded in agreement and chose not to ask again. Hearing that his great-grandmother was no longer sick made his feelings much calmer.
“Nak Abraham and Nak Asyila! Mom and Dad will return home to serve the guests who come,” said Arumi.
“Iya, Mom. Sorry to trouble Mom,” reply Abraham.
“Do not say like that, I know you are a strong man.”
Arumi and Herwan return home to serve their relatives at home.
Abraham pondered as he continued to kiss the Grandma's wooden tombstone with tears flowing.
Temmy and Yeni also give permission to help Arumi and Herwan at home.
“Dyah, please take your two sisters home!” Abraham's Commandments.
“Good, Uncle!” Dyah took his two brothers by the hand and brought him home.
Now Abraham and Ashila remained in the grave of the Grandmother's final resting place.
“Actually there is a bit of regret in the heart of your husband, syila.”
“Related? What kind of regret is Mas?”
“In Grandma's last moments, Mas should be next to Grandma and accompanying Grandma. However, God predestined it like this,” Abraham's light.
Asyila stroked her husband's arm and hugged him. Ashila could only give warm touches to her husband.
“Thank you for always having a Mas side,” said Abraham and gave a warm kiss on Asyila's forehead.
“This is all God's blessings through Grandma's intermediary. Thank you, Nek,” Asyila said with a sweet smile. Asyila then kissed Grandma's gravestone sign from her husband.
The sky slowly began to darken and it was time for Abraham and Asyila to return home. Before leaving the tomb, Abraham and Ashila thanked him and said their last resting greetings.

Although heavy, they had to continue their lives in the world.
