ALVIN Trying to Rise

Preparation

...Happy Reading's...

..................

"Vin, can you help me?" Esih approached Alvin who was cleaning his clothes.

"No need, Grandma. This is also done already," replied Alvin, while entering clothes and items that if he needed while in Jakarta.

Yes, tomorrow morning Alvin must immediately go to Jakarta, to prepare for his education.

After going through many obstacles, Alvin finally graduated at a large campus in the Jakarta area, with a scholarship that almost covers all the costs, as well as pocket money.

"Grandmother, want to give this to you, you better hold it, Vin." Esih took out a necklace with a blue stone pendant belonging to Rengganis that Alvin had left on him.

"No, Grandma. It's better this necklace, Grandma, just keep it. I'm afraid it will disappear, if I hold it .. I'm closer to Mamah anyway" Alvin refused, pushing the necklace in Esih's hands.

Esih looked at the necklace in her hand with a sad look, then she kept it in her pocket.

"If so, Grandma will keep this necklace of yours. But, one day, you will have to accept this necklace yes, Vin," Esih's request was immediately embraced by Alvin.

"If I had felt I could keep the necklace, I would have taken it, Grandma" replied Alvin.

Esih took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

"Grandmother, always pray that someday, you can realize all your dreams, Vin." Esih rubbed his grandson's shoulder with teary eyes.

Alvin cupped his grandmother's hand on her shoulder, then took it and kissed it affectionately.

"Thank you, Grandma. Grandma and Grandpa, having been taking care of me for three years, taught me many of the values of life and how to strive to live well, even God, is testing us with a very heavy ordeal."

"Thank you, for the affection you always have, Grandma and Grandpa, give it to me. I am grateful to have you. I always pray .. hopefully, Grandma and Grandpa, given long life and always given health" said Alvin.

Esih smiled at all the expressions of her granddaughter, even though tears were slowly pouring down her cheeks.

"I don't think you're big, son. I've been really cool to say it, until I made Grandma cry gini," said Esih, accompanied by a small oddity.

Alvin also chuckled, his hands outstretched to remove the tear on Grandma's cheek.

"I've grown up, Grandma, even now I'm taller than Grandma." Alvin confirmed Esih's words with a joke that he meant to comfort his grandmother.

Esih slapped Alvin's shoulder while laughing. "Yes, you're a big boy now."

"Yes, if you don't need help, Grandma. Grandma just went outside, in a moment, Grandpa you starch home study," said Esih as he moved from his seat.

"Cie, who wants to wait for her husband to come home .. has just been left for a while kayakaya already misses, yes" he lamented Alvin.

"Ck, biarin! Kan same husband himself," decak Esih chuckled and walked out of the grandson's room.

Alvin laughed at the embarrassed face of his grandmother, he really likes to tease the romance of his grandparents.

Seeing them still get along well and love each other, even until their aging age, made him feel happy. Even in his heart he was also envious, when he remembered his parents, could no longer be like his grandmother and grandfather.

Alvin resumed his activities, he took one of the picture frames on his study table, then opened and released it, until now only a photo sheet remains.

Alvin then put it in a plastic, so as not to get dirty and put it in a bag.

Both corners of his lips seemed interested, making a smooth arch upwards, although his eyes seemed reddened by the water that framed him.

After finishing with his preparations, Alvin immediately laid himself on the bed. Tired after a day earlier, petrified his grandfather in the rice field, bringing him straight to sleep once his eyelids were closed.

In the living room Darman and Esih were sitting together, they both seemed to be having a serious conversation.

"Where, does he want to accept the necklace?" ask Darman.

Esih shook her head, while putting a necklace belonging to Rengganis on the table.

Darman took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, he took the necklace, then looked at it.

"Maybe it's not yet time for him to be reunited with the family of his mother, sir. Just let Alvin live his life now .. I'm sure, someday there will be a time when he knows everything," Esih said.

Darman looked at his wife's face and then turned his eyes back to the necklace on the tagline.

Heavy breathing repeatedly Darman did, to unravel the burden in his heart.

"Yes, it seems like fate has not been willing to reveal the Rengganis family to him. I just hope that one day they can accept Alvin, the marriage of his parents was never sanctioned" said Darman.

"If it can't, then maybe it's better Alvin never knew, the family of the Rengganis," continued Esih who was immediately embraced by Darman.

"Yes, if indeed they would only add wounds to my grandchildren, Alvin's breed never knew his mother's family, although actually I was also afraid that something would happen that was not desirable if until he did not know the origin."

In his heart, Darman mih hope that someday Alvin will find out the family of his iron.

"I'm sure, if indeed Alvin is destined to know everything, someday fate will lead him to go there," said Esih.

"Why don't we just tell Alvin ourselves, about the Rengganis family, sir?" ask Esih.

"If we tell him now, it'll only add to his wounds, and I don't want that until it happens. I do not want his heart that is still clean, will be polluted by hatred and even revenge" replied Darman.

Esih nodded her head when she heard the explanation from her husband. He also did not want to if until his grandson was affected by hatred, because of the treatment of his mother's family to both parents.

"Yes, it might be better for our grandchildren" Esih replied.

"Even the Rengganis have severed their ties with their families. It is evident by this necklace, which he never wore again, never even told his children" Esih continued.

Without feeling the time is getting late, after limping for quite a long time, the married couple who are old enough finally decided to rest.

The two of them entered into the room, trying to cover up the unease in each other's hearts.
