Droplets of Night Creatures

134. Tasks for Aruna

Hafiz was seen following the Grandfather who now went to the garden behind the house. There the Grandfather sat pensively and lowered his head.

Hafiz left Grandpa in such a state for a while. After almost half an hour passed but the Grandfather did not seem to want to end his silence, Hafiz began to worry and approached the Grandfather.

" Gapapa's grandfather, right...?" hafiz asked as she gently touched Grandpa's shoulder.

Grandpa looked up to look at Hafiz and smiled.

" Grandfather gapapa Hafiz.," said the Grandfather as he gently touched Hafiz's head.

" Thank God. I don't think Grandpa's gonna talk to me." said Hafiz.

" Why do you think you're rich...?" ask the Grandpa.

" You see, Grandpa just heard a bad story about Bang Moa and Aldi. As I know, my grandfather loved them very much. Well, who knows their loss makes Grandpa so forget if you still have other grandchildren besides Bang Moa and Aldi..," said Hafiz with a wry smile.

Hafiz's words surprised Grandpa but did not make him angry. Grandpa Aldi laughed and it made Hafiz confused.

" So you think I favor all my grandchildren...?" ask the Grandpa.

" That's not what I meant.." said Hafiz.

" I admit I did pay a little more attention to Moa and Aldi. But it's not without reason Hafiz.," Grandpa Aldi said as he rubbed Hafiz's head.

" What does Grandpa mean...?" asked Hafiz while sitting next to Grandpa.

" The Moa and Aldi are different from my other grandchildren including you. Moa is a temperamental person and Aldi is too closed. But I only realized that my actions had caused a split between all my grandchildren. I didn't mean to be favoritist. I just want my granddaughter to know that I'll always be there for them even if their parents don't care. I hope with my treasure I can fulfill all your wishes. But apparently I was wrong," Grandpa Aldi said with glaring eyes.

" Grandpa's intentions were wrong. Just a little wrong way. But gapapa, all this time we've been trying to understand Grandpa's actions. But if you can Grandpa also pay attention to Granddaughter of other Grandpa. Not me yeah, but Dian, Feri and Eka. They also want Grandpa to pay more attention to the same as Grandpa loves Bang Moa and Aldi..," Pinta Hafiz while touching the back of Grandpa's hand.

" Thank you, Hafiz," said the Grandfather, nodding his head.

" Every Same Cake. Now what does Grandpa want to do...?" ask Hafiz.

" Grandfather confused Fiz. Do you have any advice...?" ask Grandpa Aldi.

" Mmm.., Grandpa can spend some money on alms and infaq on behalf of Aldi and Bang Moa. God willing it can slightly ease their steps in the future." said Hafiz carefully.

" Yes you're right. Do Fiz. Grandpa wants you to arrange everything yes..," said the Grandpa enthusiastically.

" No, not me Kek. Ntar misunderstood the others. Grandpa also asked the other Granddaughter to help..," protested Hafiz.

" Yes yes. You just calm down. Ntar Grandpa told Feri to help you..," said the Grandpa with a smile.

" Ok, I agree, Kek..," said Hafiz, giving his thumb.

" Eh, by the way where is Reymond and his friends Fiz...?" ask Grandpa Aldi.

" They're outside the cake. Abis squirming Grandpa was raging earlier said they were afraid to squirm Grandpa.

" Where is it possible. They must know that I'm not angry with them." said Grandpa Aldi.

" Yes the Cake. Does Grandpa want to talk to them...?" ask Hafiz.

" Not them, but Aruna is the same Kautsar. Can you call them Fiz...?" pinta the Grandpa.

" Any Kek..," said Hafiz quickly to make Grandpa smile.

" Said Hafiz Grandpa wanted to talk to Us. Is that really the cake...?" ask Kautsar politely.

" right. There are things I want to ask you..," said Grandpa Aldi.

" What's Cake about...?" ask Kautsar.

" About your wife, Aruna..," said Grandpa Aldi as he glanced at Aruna.

" I'm sorry to sound so presumptuous, but what does Grandpa mean...?" kautsar asked as he shifted forward to protect Aruna with his body.

Grandfather Aldi smiled at the attitude of the Kautsar who looks very protective of his wife.

" I used to be like you. Be alert if anyone asks about my wife. But this time I just want to know what Jon said about the abuse se* that Moa did against Aldi was true or just a joke...?" ask Grandpa Aldi.

" Why did Grandpa ask that same as my wife...?" kautsar asked while frowning.

" I know if your wife has any Kautsar advantages. I could see her the first time we met. Don't ask me how I know, but that's it. I am also blessed with the advantages of God to read the advantages possessed by others including Your Wife.", said Grandpa Aldi sage.

Kautsar and Aruna stared at each other for a moment then nodded.

" Well, honey, do you want to tell me something about Grandpa Aldi...?" kautsar asked while looking at Aruna.

" No problem. It was wet too. After all, Grandpa really should know what happened in fact so as not to make the wrong decision. Isn't that Cake...?" asked Aruna while looking at Grandpa Aldi.

" True Aruna. Thank you for understanding where we are going" Grandpa Aldi said.

Then Aruna began to tell him what he knew about Aldi. Including how Aldi's spirit interacts with him. Grandpa Aldi appears to clench his hands when he hears Aruna's story.

" Kasian Aldi's. But why didn't he ever tell Grandpa...?" mumbling Grandpa Aldi.

" He's threatened Kek. That's why he did not dare to open his mouth..," said Aruna.

" Riots in the middle room earlier, is that also the work of Aldi...?" ask Grandpa Aldi.

" Not Cake. It seems that the residents of Grandpa's house are the culprit. They don't like that bad Jon. They reminded Grandpa to be careful with Jon because he's like a sheep-furred weasel. My advice, tell him to leave long before he throws a tantrum in Grandpa's family.

" alright. I also had no interest in seeing her let alone having her stay at my house with my family. By the way, do you think that among my remaining grandchildren there are still those who behave deviantly Aruna...?" ask Grandpa Aldi.

" I don't know Cake. I haven't seen them all yet" said Aruna.

" That's yes. Later that night during the event all Grandsons, children and my son-in-law will be present. You can observe them one by one Aruna." said Grandpa Aldi.

" Can it be so Cake...?" asked Aruna while smiling.

" Of course I can. Consider this an order from Grandpa to you Aruna..," said Grandpa Aldi firmly.

" If Grandpa has given me a rich mandate where I can refuse. I'm afraid Grandpa is angry and I'm being made into a pedicab.", joked Aruna.

" I'm not that cruel Aruna. Besides, I have to think a thousand times before I make you a peddler. You see how Kautsar looks after you, right ?. Maybe before I touch your finger, Kautsar has made me a pedal first." Grandpa Aldi said with a laugh.

" Grandfather can do it," said Kautsar with a blushing face to make Grandpa Aldi laugh again.

Aruna and Kautsar laughed. From a distance Hafiz was smiling to see Grandpa laughing in the pain he felt.
