The dew breathed a long breath. It seems any attempt he made to tear Aby down was in vain. Because the man has a heart as hard as steel. Very difficult to soften. What else if his beloved is disturbed.
"Say mother, oma is sick again, Mas. Oma wants to see you," said the Dew.
This afternoon Dewun did get news from mother that oma was not feeling well and wanted to meet Aby. However, Dewun did not dare to visit oma without her husband's permission.
"Tonight I will go to the house of oma. But you don't have to come!"
The gaping dew could not believe hearing her husband's unilateral decision. "What the hell is that, Mas? I'd like to see the state of oma, too."
"If the rough oma is the same again how are you?"
"Oma is sick again, Mom. Can it still be rough on people?"
Just as Aby's mouth was about to open to support Dew's speech, her phone rang. The name of the mother is on the phone screen. Aby immediately shifted the green symbol to connect with the mother.
"Yes, Mother," said Aby shortly after the call was connected.
"Aby, where are you, son?" Mother's voice sounded panicked, making Aby's forehead wrinkle.
"At home, same Dew. Mother why panic?"
"Oma was rushed to the hospital, By. Now we're all in the hospital."
Spontaneous Aby changed her sitting position. The dew that was still leaning against his chest he gently moved. "Any hospital, Mother?"
"Our family's hospital. Anyway you come here quickly. I asked to see you and Dew."
"Yes, Mother."

Aby and Dew walked a little hastily through the long hallways of the hospital. Upon his arrival in the oma treatment room, Aby embraces his wife entering the room. Oma appeared to be lying with a pale face and a slightly thin body.
As soon as he saw Aby, the old woman immediately greeted with a hug. He misses his favorite grandson.
The team of doctors then went in and examined the state of the oma. According to the doctor, the oma must be treated intensively, because the body is quite weak and the blood pressure is very low.
"Mita, you can take care of oma in the hospital during treatment, right, honey?"
Mita who was sitting on the sofa while playing the phone was standing reflex. His face looks confused.
"Don't me, Mother. You know I don't like the smell of the hospital" Mita refused. His body shuddered in amusement at the thought of staying in the hospital for days.
"If not you who else can take care of oma, Mita. Mommy can't always be here looking after oma. You know dad's not feeling well anymore. You're also on your college days, right?" talk to mother again.
But the girl turned her lips, with a look of uneasiness. "I've never been in a hospital, Mother."
"But, Mita ...."
"Mother, where can I take care of the sick?" cut Mita fast. "I don't want to! Why not hire a private nurse just to keep the oma, anyway?"
Hearing the debate between his son-in-law and Mita, Oma looked disappointed. The granddaughter who he considered as a favorite actually refused to take care of herself. And all this time he gave whatever Mita wanted. He even wanted to match Mita with Aby.
"Mother, I'm the one guarding oma here" suggested Dewun.
He who was not happy to hear the debate Mother and Mita immediately offered themselves. It just so happened that there were no urgent activities these few days. Because just waiting for the graduation day to arrive.
"You're pregnant, son. You need a lot of rest" said the mother.
"It's okay, Mother. I can, really. I have no important activities."
"You sure you can, son?"
The dew replied with a nod of the head. "Yes, Mother. I was dying, really. No more nausea."
The bedridden Oma looked at her daughter-in-law's granddaughter with teary eyes. It was precisely the daughter-in-law he did not like that willingly offered to take care of herself.
