Because of the arranged marriage

For the sake of you

It's been almost ten minutes five people in a room just silent like no one wants to start a conversation, only Cantika's voice whispered in Alisha's and Mama's ears that just shook her head in response. Does the silence last for how long?

Grandma could only shed tears without saying a word, while Alisha who was sitting in front of her while holding Cantika could only stroke one of her hands.

Adnan exhaled many times, he was still reluctant to speak, his heart told him to speak a thousand languages, while his mind said if he should sincerely accept everything that happened in the past, like the time after getting advice from Mother and Mother-in-law.

"Acuse me, maybe you need time to talk to Grandma without Auntie," said Aunt Siska, just as she was about to move from her seat, Adnan blocked the movement of Auntie, finally Aunt Siska was back to sit in the original place.

"I'm just here to get grandma to go for treatment and there's one more thing I want to say, for everything that's happened, don't talk about it yet," adnan said with a flat face.

"Grandmother does not need to be taken to the hospital, has met with you just happy grandmother, because it has told everything to you," said grandma while wiping tears that are still reluctant to stop.

"Actually I don't want to say this, but it looks like I will sin if I keep it, because you have the right to know, even if you can't do anything" Adnan said without responding to his grandmother's remarks.

Aunt Siska frowned, she did not understand what Adnan was talking about. Same is the case with grandmothers who do not understand where the direction of grandmother's conversation.

Adnan looked at Alisha, and his wife smiled and nodded, as if to say, "Yes, just tell me the truth, please,".

Adnan breathed a deep breath, "Cantika here baby, sit with Papa." Adnan leads Cantika to sit on his lap.

"He's also Grandma's grandson, he's Aunt Luna's last child, I can come to this place also because of him" Adnan said after Cantika sat on her lap. He hugged Cantika's body tightly.

Aunt Siska and Grandma were surprised to hear Adnan's explanation, they did not expect that the little boy was Luna's child. It was thought that Cantika was one of Alisha's younger siblings or perhaps Alisha's niece.

"Don't joke you, Auntie can't believe it. According to the police, isn't everyone dead, no one survived? You must be lying, right?" Aunt Siska really does not believe Adnan's words.

"As for Aunt to believe what is not, the important thing is that I have told the truth" Adnan said.

Unlike Aunt Siska, it seems like grandma believes Adnan's words, because her tears continue to drip even more rapidly. Then stretched out both hands to reach Cantika, wanting to hug her last granddaughter. The grandson he had seen when he was a baby and after that never saw him again, because of the pain in the pain also Luna who had rarely come. If you come without taking your children.

"Here baby, this is grandma" said Grandma.

Cantika looked at Mama and her Papa, after getting approval Cantika also approached towards Grandma and hugged her. He still does not understand everything that is happening right now. She did know that her mother's name was Luna, but did not know that she was the mother of her mother.

"Honey, this grandmother Cantika is the mother of Mama Luna who is already in heaven, so this grandmother is Cantika's grandmother." Alisha rubbed the back of Cantika who was still in grandmother's arms.

"You should love your grandmother as much as you love Mama, Cantika knows, right?" said again.

Cantika nodded, she began to sob as if she understood with all of Alisha's words.

"Sir, Mama Papa and Cantika's brothers left Cantika alone pas nginep in Diva's house, they naughty Nek, go ungodly with Cantika," the little girl complained to grandmother, grandmother, he remembered the moment when both his parents and his two brothers disappeared after their house was flattened in the devour of fire.

"There is still a grandmother, there is aunty and there are your brothers, Kak Bintang Sama Kak Alisha," said Grandma, still hugging Cantika's body.

"Not Alisha's sister but Mama Alisha Nek, and who's Kak Bintang? I don't know" asked Cantika who did not know the name of the Star.

Grandma took off her embrace, then looked at Cantika questioningly. Then look at Alisha alternately also by staring at Adnan.

"The name of the Star has long been changed by Mother Ayu, who used to adopt Mas Adnan from the orphanage, and about the call of Mama and Papa because we adopted Cantika from the orphanage, at first do not know if Cantika is the son of Aunt Mas Adnan," explained Alisha who seemed to know the confusion on the face of the grandmother.

Adnan remained silent. He was actually relieved after saying that there was a grandmother and aunty. Although still wary, afraid if Aunt Siska reported to the family of Raharjo if one of their grandchildren is still alive. Honestly, he still does not believe a hundred percent with Auntie, but if with grandma he knows that his grandmother is sincere.

Grandma breathed a long breath, she did not understand why such a good name should be changed? But that's okay, it doesn't matter. The most important thing now is that he is happy to have met his two grandchildren.

"Cantika will sleep here with grandma huh, Cantika will right?" ask grandma.

Cantika turned her head towards her parents, Alisha nodded while Adnan did not seem to allow Cantika to stay over, afraid that something might happen with his daughter. He also has an idea, if grandma wants to sleep with Cantika.

"Grandma just come with us if you want to sleep with Cantika, tomorrow we go to the hospital, that's if grandma agrees," said Adnan.

Grandma seemed to weigh, after a few seconds thought the answer was still the same as not going to the hospital.

"Grandmother does not want to go to the hospital, grandma is old, healed is no use, better grandmother like this alone than to waste a lot of money but the results will be disappointing," said Grandma.

Adnan gave up, he did not want to force the will of grandmother, the most important thing he had tried to help despite being rejected by grandmother.

"If Cantika can't stay overnight, let her stay all day here, grandma still wants to be the same Grandma's granddaughter, yes," grandma pleaded, she wanted to linger playing with Cantika, she wanted to play with her, even if allowed he wanted to invite Cantika to stay in the house.

Adnan seemed to think, had not yet found the answer the wife first voiced.

"Sorry Nek, I want to talk to Mas Adnan for a while" said Alisha, after being invited by Alisha to pull Adnan out of the house, get in the car and close the car door.

"Mas, let Cantika stay here overnight, are you not kasian with grandma? Later Anita who we ask to accompany if you do not want to," said Alisha, she felt sorry to see grandma hoping to hug Cantika all night.

"But danger, baby. I don't believe in Aunt Siska yet" said Adnan, bringing out the grunts he had in mind.

"Don't suudzon, there's Aunt Siska's husband too, you're just suudzon, I guarantee Cantika will be fine here" Alisha said.

Adnan sighed and looked at his loving wife, "Alright, for your sake, dear," he said.
