Because of the arranged marriage

Old Wounds

Adnan parked his car in front of a simple house, but it looked the best among the others. Opening the car door with Alisha. Both of them stepped into the courtyard of the house. Knock on the door while saying hello.

The door opened and saw a little girl about ten to eleven years old. The girl was surprised to see Adnan and Alisha.

"Who are you looking for?" ask the little girl.

"Is this really Siska's mother's house?" instead of answering Adnan just asked back.

"Yes right, I am his son. But I'm not home, I'm not home yet" replied the little girl.

"Who's Rin?" a person's voice came from the direction of a room.

"That's who?" adnan asked, in fact he had guessed if the one who spoke was Grandma Mayang.

"That's Grandma, she's sick,"

"Can we meet Grandma?" ask Adnan.

The little girl seemed to think, while researching the appearance of Adnan and Alisha, then glanced out to see Adnan's car parked there. Seems like they're investigating whether they're both good people or not? After being sure the little girl nodded.

"By brother, please come in" the girl let the two men in.

Adnan confidently entered the house, following the steps of the little girl while holding the hand of the wife.

"Who's Rin?" ask Grandma to the little girl when she sees Adnan and Alisha.

The little girl called Rin by Nene Mayang only shook her head, because she did not know who Adnan and Alisha were.

"Good day, Grandma" said Adnan, then greeted the old hand of Grandma Mayang, Grandma who never thought it existed. But Adnan is still heartened, considering if the grandmother's child has raised him.

"Just who are you?" ask the Grandma.

"Grandma forgot me?" ask Adnan.

Grandma watched Adnan carefully, after which she shook her head because she did not know or precisely forgot about Adnan.

Adnan smiled, he could already guess if grandma must have forgotten, because they had not met for a dozen years.

"I'm Ad, uh I'm the Star of Nek," said Adnan, he almost introduced himself by the name of Adnan, of course Grandma would not know.

Grandma was surprised to hear Adnan's answer, he who had been asleep, now rose with difficulty, then embraced Adnan tightly. Sobbing, and saying sorry many times.

Adnan returned Grandma's embrace, without feeling her tears dripping when she heard Grandma say an apology and cried in her arms.

Alisha was also moved, he did not expect that Adnan's meeting with Mayang's grandmother would be heartwarming like this, because he had thought that Grandma would not accept Adnan like Mother's family. She wiped her tears as the grandmother and grandchild who had been separated for so long let go of her embrace.

"Know Nek, she's my wife, her name is Alisha," Adnan introduces Alisha to Mayang's grandmother.

Alisha also returned the embrace of Grandma Mayang.

"Where have you been all this time, son? Your aunt came to the parlour but you are no longer there and the parlour does not want to tell your home address, Grandma feels guilty about you, because it has separated you from your parents, granny was sorry, really sorry," she cried again, remembering what she had done.

"Grandmother is looking for you because she wants to tell you about the secret that we have been keeping, grandma will not calm down if she has not told the truth. And now's a good time, because maybe Grandma's gonna be gone soon,"

"Don't say that, Grandma" Adnan held Grandma's hand.

Grandma shook her head, then looked at Adnan intensely, "Before Grandma apologized to you, after grandma said everything you want to be angry or want to hate the same Grandma is okay, the most important thing is that Grandma has said everything" said Grandma.

"Actually...." Grandma's words were cut off as someone rushed into the room in a hurry.

The same woman who had just walked into Grandma's room looked surprised to see two strangers there, "Who are you?" ask the woman.

"He's your nephew, he's the star we've been looking for, son," Grandma replied.

Aunt Siska was surprised to hear Grandma's words, after which she prostrated herself at Adnan's feet while sobbing and apologizing many times.

"Already Tan, don't do this. Let's get up Tan." Adnan helps Aunt Siska to wake up. Then Aunt Siska hugged her tightly and she returned the favor.

The novelty still enveloped the room, even a little girl who knew nothing also cried while leaning against the door. Alisha, who saw it, immediately led the little girl to join her in sitting in the room.

"Grandmother will tell you a secret that you should know" said Grandma.

"Before your parents died, Papa you were conscious while in the hospital, and he told me everything about you as Grandma," Grandma looked at Adnan's face and rubbed one of Adnan's cheeks.

"If it turns out that you are their biological child, Papa you accidentally put you in the home after birth, and two days after that take it back, and admit if it was his adopted child, he said, lying with all of us if the child that his wife gave birth to dies. The reason is because for your safety, you are threatened because you were born as the first grandson of a man. Back then all your Papa brothers, including Siska, were crazy treasures. It was also Grandma's fault," Grandma told him that while sobbing. Shortness in the chest when considering he was also as crazy as the child, equally crazy treasure.

Adnan who knows the reality, not angry with grandma but he hugged grandma back tightly. It is fitting that he really wants to meet with grandma, although it was never considered this, that he is the granddaughter of the grandmother.

"Why grandma returned you to the orphanage, because Grandma did not accept if you are the heir to your grandfather's wealth, let alone you were born from a woman whose origin is unclear. Grandma did not accept it first, forgive grandma yes, grandma regrets," said Grandma continued her story.

Adnan nodded, still hugging Grandma.

"About your parents' accident, it was all your Aunt's ex-husband who planned it, Grandma got angry and berated him when she found out that he did it, but Grandma couldn't do anything about it because she threatened Grandma, so we decided not to go ahead with the case, and thought it was an accident. Grandma's sorry, there's a lot of wrongs that grandma's done to you, grandma's sorry, grandma's sorry,"

Grandma let go of her embrace when she did not get any response from Adnan. He looked at Adnan with regret. Adnan also looked at Grandma with an indecipherable look.
