Hermawan who noticed Steven's sad look from a distance also began to suspect. He was sure that something serious was going on inside his body.
With a shunt look Steven again approached Hermawan after the doctor who handled the Hermawan left.
"What are you talking about?" ask the grandfather to the point. "just say the truth Stip. Grandpa does not like you to hide anything about grandfather's disease," he said seriously.

But that doesn't mean grandpa tea doesn't want to stay alive. Instead this grandfather's life was soon, so grandfather wanted to live longer. That's teu bener Stip. Should your grandfather wait to die doing nothing? it's not a real grandfather." said Hermawan later.
"But Kek, seeing the condition of this other grandfather's disease makes the operation not simple. It is feared that it will have a worse impact on one disease," explained Steven.
"Yes Grandpa Oge nyaho Stip," replied Hermawan. (Yes, grandfather knows too)
"Wantas Grandpa still wants to do it?" ask Steven.
"Although grandfather's time was one more day left, grandfather wanted to live a decent life. Grandfather wants to die like that" replied the grandfather so sure. "Stip, grandpa wants you to have some tea to appreciate grandpa's choice, do you know Stip tea?"
