A week has passed since the departure of Galih and Kirana has not heard any news from the man The last time she knew if Galih was sick and cared for by aunt Ratna at the Aditama residence, but that was a few days ago.

Amira began to wonder where papa Galih went, she also grew suspicious because her mother no longer looks cool sending messages with papa on the phone nor is there a good night phone as usual.

To distract the little one. Kirana also always took him to the cafe also bought a large box of crayons and picture books so that she could pour her wait and hope into the picture book. While the music lessons Amira just started to enter once Teh Gina pamit because suddenly returned to Bandung without saying anything clear. Kirana decides to stop Amira's music lessons because the teacher who replaced Teh Gina is currently not so friendly to children.

This afternoon after feeding Amira, Kirana pranks open her email. It had been a few days Kirana had not opened her email and she was quite sorry at this moment. There was one email coming from Galih. The location is no longer in the top order and after Kirana open the contents are quite long.

Hi Neng Geulis…

I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you at this time. Aa is currently in Bandung, suddenly returned home because she was given the news of a very sick grandmother. This morning the new grandmother was operated on and the doctor predicted the operation would run for 13 hours. When I wrote this email, my grandmother did not leave the operating room.

Kirana, aa is confused right now. Aa was hesitating when you said the truth. Aa confused between having to let you off to be happy with your first love or aa must be selfish to fight for you even though aa does not guarantee your life will always be happy with aa.

Aa wants to ask for your help. Aa has resigned, aa leave the decision to you. If you prefer Keenan, I'll be sincere. But if you choose aa, please help aa believe if your sentence is not only to calm aa but it is proven to be true.

I hope you wait. I don't know when I'll see you again. But if you really do not want to wait to reply to this email immediately. Tell aa if you don't want to wait. Let me pray for your happiness with whoever it is.

Oh yeah, say sorry to little Amira too. Sorry if Papa Galih turns out to be a jerk also dare to leave Mama and make Mama cry. Tell Amira, if she should be able to grow strong to accompany Mama and make Mama smile because really Mama's smile comes from Amira, not from Papa.

So Kirana, I hope you understand.

Sorry to disappoint you, though,

Subterfuge.

As soon as she finished reading Galih's email, Kirana immediately caught the fog. Somehow but his feelings say he has to get to Bandung as fast as he can. Kirana immediately called Bang Adnan to leave Amira, and asked for Galih's home address in Bandung on Aksara.

With reckless capital Kirana packed and carried a medium-sized backpack containing change of clothes and makeshift needs. Kirana first entrust Amira to Papa Adnan and Mama Lucy and then escorted by Papa Adnan, Kirana assisted in booking airline tickets.

“Dek, calm down first your mind just left,” said Adnan.

“Mama is fine right?” ask Amira who is taking the.

“Yes dear, Mama is fine. Amira don't be naughty yeah, Amira same Papa Adnan same Mama Lucy and deck Daffa first. Later after Mama met Papa, Mama will go home,” said Kirana.

“Kirana, you got there already enough nights. Brother has contacted friend Abang who served in the West Java police. Your phone number has been sent to you, if you are in trouble he can help you find a hotel and take you to wherever you want. Girl, you don't have to worry. This is just in case if you do not manage to contact Teh Gina,” said Adnan.

“Still Bang,” replied Kirana.

“Kirana, you there be careful yes. Don't be rash,” said Lucy.

“Yes, thank you very much. Pray everything will be fine,” Kirana said.

“Ok. Then Mama left first. Assalamualaikum,” by Kirana.

...***...

Kirana hasn't called Bang Adnan's friend but has already gotten a call from Gina. Gina is clearly shocked to learn that Kirana has landed at the airport alone, where her position has been quite late.

Gina had just returned from the hospital and headed straight to the airport to pick up Kirana. He said nothing to his parents, let alone to his other siblings. Galih had already told him that Kirana's status would be difficult for their extended family to accept so Gina chose to keep her mouth shut. Gina immediately drove Kirana to the hospital because it just so happened that tonight only Galih was able to accompany the grandmother who had just come to her senses.

“I think you and a Galih are struggling because aa came here the other day in a sick condition. His face was like a corpse, I thought it was impossible if it was just ordinary pain,” said Gina.

“That's why I'm here now. I want to apologize to you,” Kirana said.

“I hope you two can solve the problem soon between you,” said Gina embraced by Kirana.

Kirana hesitantly walked into the hospital, down the hallway of the VIP room until she came to the one door where the lights inside were lit. Gina stepped in first while Kirana stayed in the doorway staring at Galih who was cleaning her old grandmother's body using a warm towel.

“Gina, who is that standing at the door? Very beautiful, invited to enter atuh,” said grandma even though a little stammered.

Galih turned to follow the gaze of Grandma who was staring at the door. Galih was obviously shocked to see Kirana standing there with a very forced smile. Galih not only fell silent but also did not move. Even he felt his tears begin to pool and one drop managed to escape just like that.

Kirana steps in and she timidly introduces herself, “sorry grandma, my name is Kirana. I...,”

“His girlfriend Galih?” ask grandma.

“Nek, this...,” Galih tried to correct but lost quickly with Kirana who returned to answer, “if grandma bless, insyaallah I will be his wife a Galih, nek.”

Grandma nodded with her eyes. Then again said, “Sini nak nearer,” ask grandma.

Kirana then sat down on the chair next to the grandmother and then her hands clasped the hands of the skinny-looking grandmother with skin that was no longer tight. On the back of her hand, there was a single penetrating infusion needle and Kirana knew for sure it felt very uncomfortable.

“Gina has a lot to say about you. Grandma will not dispute about your status, the important thing is that you can keep and love Galih with all your heart,” said grandma.

“Definitely nek,” replied Kirana with a smile.

“Oh yes, said you already have a daughter? Where's dia? Not coming?” ask grandma again.

“Iya nek, her name is Amira. He didn't come because I came here quite suddenly. He also has not fully recovered from his illness. Later if grandma has recovered Kirana will bring Amira here,” said Kirana.

“Hust. Grandma can't wait to see the granddaughter of grandma,” said grandma made Kirana laugh a little then looked at Galih who was silent still can't believe what she just heard.
