In the middle of his mind that was still confused to choose between Leo and Nino, suddenly Aretta's phone rang again. Signaling there's an incoming call.
Paternity
The name of the caller on the screen.
Immediately he shifted the green button and raised the call.
"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum!" Aretta's voice is soft.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Aretta, how are you?" Greet Dad from across the phone.
"Good, yeah. Dad how are you?"
"Daddy is good too. How does it work, smoothly?"
"Currently, yeah. Father himself how does it work? Still not a lot in the barn?" Aretta asked back.
"Most exist, but as much as possible we should be on guard and always be vigilant."
"Oh yeah, tumben's father called malem-malem?"
"Somebody really wants to talk about it!" Dad said seriously.
"What are you talking about, Dad?" Aretta curious.
"Grandmother is sick, now being treated. Nanyain Are continues. Can you come home tomorrow? I'm afraid anything's happened to Grandma." I explained very slowly.
"Yes aampuun, tomorrow Are definitely home well! Are you waiting at home? We'll go to the hospital together!"
"Yes, I'm waiting at home, okay?"
"Yes, yeah!"
"Yes, Are now rest. Assalamu'alaikum." Dad hung up.
Aretta's mind is getting less and less. At that time, he was thinking only about his grandmother. Grandma was always there when she was at the lowest point of her life.
Del, I'm not going in tomorrow. My grandmother is very sick. I have to go home tomorrow.
Fill in the message Aretta typed for Della. Although Della is his best friend, Aretta still appreciates him as a manager. So, he decided to send a message to Della that night. Because tomorrow Aretta is afraid not to let Della know.
In town A
"What granny, dad?" Aretta asked as soon as she saw her father was agitated in front of the ICU room.
"Dad doesn't know either. We better pray now, ask for the best of the Power." Dad tried to stay calm, although he was also very worried.
"Here's a thing called Aretta?" The doctor who just came out of the ICU.
"Me, doc!" Aretta stood up straight from her seat.
"From that time Grandma said the name Aretta continued. You better come with me in." Speak to the doctor in a hurry.
Aretta followed the doctor into the ICU room without thinking.
"Miss, it's Aretta!" Aretta held Grandma's hand.
"Aretta, Aretta!" Grandma still mentioned the name of her favorite granddaughter.
"Yes, grandma. Aretta's here!"
"Aretta's granddaughter?" Grandma's voice with an already irregular breath.
"Yes, grandma."
"Yes, grandma. Whatever it is, it'll be Are lakain. What matters is that grandma's healing?" Aretta's tears can't be contained anymore.
"Ne. .nek. .i..ngin. .li. .hat. .you. .smile" Pinta grandma.
Despite the weight, Aretta tried to smile.
Grandma smiled as she saw her favorite grandson smile.
"Too. .jan. .jilah. .for. .se. .lalu. .ter. .smile." Pinta grandma again.
"Aretta promise, grandma. Aretta will always smile and never cry again." Aretta convinced grandma. Even now his smile was fused with tears.
Shortly after hearing Aretta's words, the grandmother took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
Grandma died.
The atmosphere in the ICU room suddenly broke. The sound of crying accompanied the departure of Grandma. So did Aretta, Dad, and Karin.
The flashback
That night after mom decided to completely end her relationship with dad, dad immediately rushed off. But this time I didn't go back to my grandmother's house. Instead of seeing Karin who was lying weakly in the hospital due to an attempted suicide.
"What did you really do to Karin? Until he almost lost his life?" Said the old mother who was none other than Karin's parents when she found out that she came to the hospital.
"I never did anything to Karin. I could swear!" Said the father who did not feel the accusations directed at him.
"I don't want to know, you have to take responsibility!!!" The old mother clutched the collar of father's shirt.
"What should I do? I am completely innocent!" Dad defended himself.
"You should marry Karin right now!!!" The old mother was still clutching the collar of father's shirt.
"What?! Even I don't love Karin at all!"
"I don't care!! In this second, you must marry Karin. Look, because of you, my son has to suffer the consequences!" Mom dragged me to see Karin in the ward.
At that time Karin's condition was really concerning. Various medical devices were installed in his body. For the sake of defending his life that he almost relinquished to father.
My mind was devastated to see that. How not, someone he does not love at all, willing to sacrifice his life. Although it can still be helped.
"All right, I'll take responsibility. I'm gonna marry Karin." Father said finally after a moment of thought.
"Alright, I'll take care of your wedding tomorrow morning. Just be careful if you dare to run away!!!" The old man threatened.
Finally, with great force, father had to marry Karin. The woman he did not love.
Flashback off
That day after the doctor stated, if the grandmother was lifeless, the father immediately took care of the funeral of the grandmother. Grandma told me to bury him next to Grandpa.
Some relatives who knew of the death of the grandmother had attended the funeral. And Aretta of course.
This time he was wearing all-black clothes with sunglasses anyway. However, it could not hide its beauty.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Kasim." Said a man who was tall but not too handsome. He is quite old compared to Aretta who is still twenty years old.
"Thank you, Ken!" Dad mentioned the man's name.
Ken then stood beside Aretta who was in the arms of her father, while occasionally glancing at Aretta's beautiful face that was covered in tears.
Aretta was devastated by the passing of her grandmother. The figure he thinks is always there when he is in trouble. Somehow, but every time Aretta was sad, Grandma always met him. Aretta was living in the city of A.
"Think of Grandma's departure, don't be so sad! Grandma will be sad there!" Father's words tried to calm Aretta who was still in her arms.
Aretta did not answer. There were only sobs coming out of her lips.
"Why did grandma leave so soon? In fact, Are not yet perfect to make Grandma happy? Sorry Are, grandma! Are is a useless grandson! Are dear grandma!" Aretta was deep in her heart. His mind was getting more and more disoriented, his vision began to blur, his body was limp, even his legs felt boneless, and. . .
Bruuk!!!
Aretta fainted, and was carried straight to the safest place there was.
