Pendants

...Happy Reading's...

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

Alvin has been in the village for ten days, his friends in the office have asked when Alvin returned to work. Given Alvin is still a new employee in that office.

Tomorrow morning after dawn prayers, Alvin plans to return to Jakarta. Seeing the health condition of his grandfather who had begun to stabilize again, Alvin finally established himself to leave the pair of parents again.

Alvin has been preparing since the afternoon, so that early in the morning can immediately leave, by hitching a ride on Imran who will leave for campus.

"Vin, now that you're an adult, it's time you kept this necklace yourself" Darman's grandfather said as he approached Alvin in his room.

"Grandfather, I'm afraid I will disappear if I keep it," Alvin refused.

He did not want his mother's valuables to be lost, considering he had a busy activity, ranging from college and work.

"Grandfather, you're a responsible child. It's your mother's, after all, so it's appropriate that you hold it." Grandpa Darman handed the necklace to his granddaughter.

"If you're afraid to get rid of it if it's stored, you better just use it," Grandpa Darman continued.

"What can? It would be very uncomfortable if I wore jewelry, cake," said Alvin, staring at the necklace Darman put in his hand.

"Will not, this is not from gold. You can still wear it under your shirt, if you're embarrassed." Darman's a little pressing Alvin.

Alvin frowned, for some reason tonight his grandfather felt more pushy and stubborn than before.

Even so, Alvin still obeyed the words of his grandfather, he finally wore a necklace with a blue stone pendant owned by his mother.

"Already, Cake" said Alvin while showing the blue stone pendant he had successfully used, to Darman.

"Good, you fit in wearing that," replied Darman smiling with satisfaction.

Alvin smiled and put the necklace behind the clothes he was wearing.

"Vin, living in that world shared a stage drama. Everyone is the main character for their own lives, they face their own problems, according to what was set by Allah SWT," said Darman suddenly, his gaze seemed to look straight ahead, right on the photo of Alvin's family, who were on the study table.

"We are all fighters, to get a better life, and to get ridho from the owner of life," continued Darman again, turning to look at Alvin.

Alvin was a little stunned to see the look in his grandfather's eyes that looked so peaceful, making him almost overwhelmed by the warm gaze.

"Never give up, no matter what the problem, keep fighting and be sure that God will not give you excessive trouble. He's already measured your abilities first, before giving you a test."

Alvin was silent until Darman clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows, as if asking 'are you listening to what I'm saying?'

Alvin nodded faintly, taken a smile. "Yes, Grandpa, I will always remember Grandpa's advice" replied Alvin.

That night the two were busy talking together, so they did not realize that the night was getting late. Darman tells about himself, even his memories with Alvin's father.

"It's late, Grandpa should take a break. Come on, I'll take Grandpa to the room" said Alvin.

He did not want to talk to his grandfather for longer. However, his grandfather had not recovered as before. The old man still had to undergo a period of recovery, so that his high sugar and blood levels would not rise and fall suddenly again.

Alvin could see his grandfather's reluctant face, as he reached out to help stand up.

"Come, Grandpa," Alvin asked again, smiling.

"Grandfather can be alone, Vin," decak Darman stood with the help of Alvin, then began to walk out of his grandson's room.

"You also have to rest, not to have bad luck tomorrow" Darman said after they were both in front of Darman's room door.

"Yes, Cake. After this I went straight to sleep," Alvin replied with a smile.

At dawn, Alvin woke up and walked to the bathroom, although his eyes still felt heavy to open.

How not, Alvin had just gone to bed after the time showed at two in the morning, and half-five he had to get up again. His head even felt a little dizzy, as it did not get enough rest.

Out of the bathroom, Alvin runs into his grandmother who just came out of the room.

"Where are you, Grandma?" alvin asked, looking behind his grandmother.

"Udah woke up really, very soon outside," replied Grandma Esih, who immediately got a nod from Alvin.

Alvin went into the room to change clothes, he was a little in a hurry, because in a moment comat would definitely be heard.

Alvin knocked on the door of his Grandpa and Grandma's room when he saw that his Grandpa hadn't gone outside yet, while the sound of water in the bathroom indicated that Grandma Esih was still inside.

"Assalamualaikum, Cake," said Alvin while opening the room door.

The frown on Alvin's forehead looked deep, as he saw his grandfather still lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Grandfather?" call Alvin and start walking into the room.

His feelings were not good, his heart was pounding uncharacteristically as he did not get an answer from his grandfather.

"Grandfather" Alvin sat down on the chair by the bed, then clasped his grandfather's hand.

"Grandfather," call Alvin again.

Darman slowly opened his eyes, he could while smiling at Alvin.

Alvin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw his grandfather's eyes open again, he clasped Grandpa Darman's hand while occasionally wiping it with agitated movements.

"Grandfather overslept again, you, to the mosque first, Vin. Grandpa let me pray at home," said Grandpa Darman.

"But, Cake." Alvin stared doubtfully, feeling reluctant to leave his grandfather.

"If you wait for grandpa, you'll miss the congregation." Darman immediately cut out Alvin's words to refute him.

Alvin finally nodded then kissed Darman's back before finally standing up, he again saw Darman's face that looked different than usual.

Darman only nodded faintly, making Alvin instantly turn around and step foot towards the door to the outside.

"Vin." Darman called again when Alvin's hand was already holding the doorknob.

"Go home, take your uncles and your other brothers, grandfather wants to meet," said Darman who was immediately embraced by Alvin.

"Assalamualiakum," said Alvin who was immediately answered by Darman.

After praying together, Alvin immediately invited the children and grandchildren of Darman's grandfather to the house, including Imran and his father. There are those who immediately leave with Alvin, there are also those who have to go home first and will follow after.

Arriving home, Alvin saw his grandmother was in the kitchen, he immediately kissed Grandma Esih's hand, then asked her grandfather. For some reason, as long as he was in the mosque, his mind was never separated from his grandfather.

"There's in the room, Vin. From the dawn prayer has not yet gone out," answered Grandma Esih, while preparing drinking water for her children and grandchildren.

Alvin immediately said goodbye to see his grandfather into the room, as well as telling that his children and grandchildren had come.

However, when he opened the door Alvin could only peck, looking at what was before him.
