Buy a lot at once because for at home in-laws also for in his own home because the wife wants to go home to her own home.  The legs of the lane went faster towards the car, then after putting the bags in place, the car he was driving drove back on the streets of Bandung City.

“You sure you're straight back home? don't want to stop by the house first Mother?” ask Mother to Kiyara when the car driven by her daughter-in-law entered their residential area.

“No, Mother Kiyara wants to make-bikin, he he he,” replied Kiyara.

“What do you do? Don't be tired, inget baby triplets,” Father's message.

“Cuman want to make an easy-tempek, kok Yah .. Bun .. calm down, do not need extra energy, later can also ask for help with the Papa children, right Mas?”

Dave who suddenly got a question like that immediately nodded his head quickly.  “Iya, Mother and Father calm down, Dave help Kiyara later, even today Dave relax.”

“Iya, later Grandpa also help, help icing aja he he he,” connect Grandpa.

“Ah, Grandpa likes it so much,” said Kiyara even so she joined in laughing with others.

“Grandpa mah just rest, it's noon like this soon dhuhur, finish praying and lunch Grandpa rest, Dave does not want Grandpa exhausted and even fall sick,” said Dave, Dave said, making Grandpa smile haru, it turns out that this great grandson he wasted is a grandson who is not only handsome and kind, but also his heart and temperament. Makes him always feel guilty if he remembers the past, lucky before the departure of the child and his daughter-in-law he has been better with them so that it slightly reduces his guilt on past events.

“Iya, Grandpa will rest later after the prayers of the duhur,” replied Grandpa.

Dave's car had stopped in front of his father-in-law's yard, let his father-in-law down and he brought some food wrappers that he had bought for lunch.

“Thank you Bun, Dad, have us today,” said Dave sincerely, it's nice to be noticed like this by his in-laws, come to check on his wife in the midst of the busyness of his in-laws.

“No need to thank you dear, this is also us who are happy yes Well, can see our grandchildren, calm and happy more precisely because it can immediately know how the condition of Kiyara and our grandchildren, who are very happy, Nak,” said Bunda Alana while receiving a purse containing food.

“Yes, Dave is right said this Mother of yours. Yesterday, before going to bed it must be Kiyara's pregnancy, as parents of course we feel worried about the triplets' pregnancy, but on the one hand also happy. But sometimes yes, because it has experienced the taste so a little horror and excessive worry, especially your Mother who had experienced pregnancy, before, although single but yes the same name is also pregnant people are equally at risk of life, well this is his mind so quarter, thought Kiyara same baby triplets it feels every additional month that breath more and less because of the thought. But thank God after knowing the condition from the explanation of the doctor earlier, Daddy and Mommy are much calmer yes Bun,” said Father at length, said, however, his name is a father who never saw his daughter in a state of illness.

“Yes, Well thank God once, Mother mah.”

“Iya, Yah Bun, Dave is also relieved to hear it, but Father and Mother's daughter is much more powerful than we thought, Kiyara never even complained to Dave, she said, whatever it is until sometimes Dave was worried himself was afraid not to open with Dave,” smooth Dave and got a soft pat on his shoulder.

“It's okay, the important thing is that you are always on his side it's been much better for Kiyara.”

“Ya has Well, Bun, Dave said yes, thank you .. Assalamu’alaikum,” said Dave after yapping Father and Mother.

Meanwhile in the car too, Kiyara and Grandpa are busy chatting until one that clings in Kiyara's heart finally Kiyara asks Grandpa when everyone is outside the car.

“Sorry, Grandpa can Kiyara ask?” kiyara.

“Ask what Girl?”

“Grandpa what is a convert? Did you know that Grandpa did not approve of the marriage of Daddy Jeff and Mommy Sita because of different religions? But how does Grandpa pray?”

The nearly 80-year-old smiled, at his granddaughter-in-law and then looked at her with a moment of sadness. “Iya, once Grandpa was a person who obeyed the religion of Grandpa, until it blocked the love of Grandpa's own child with the heart to cross it from the Grandpa family in Germany there, until the first 10 years after your Daddy left Grandpa, Grandpa began to find out the new religion that your Daddy embraced, Grandpa, until there was a single point in Grandpa's heart it suddenly felt attracted and those points slowly turned into a brilliant light for Grandpa's life, and the 11th year after your Daddy left Grandpa life actually Grandpa has become a convert and started monitoring your Daddy from afar,” explained Grandpa.

“Yes Allah, Grandpa .. sorry Grandpa, Kiyara so bring up the past,” regrets Kiyara.

“No, darling this is not a problem, indeed all of our past is very bad. Right now, sometimes Grandpa still likes it bad like Dave, feeling guilty, feeling guilty, and everything mixed into one, seeing him grow up without the affection of his parents, he said, even though he already has you and your family by his side he's still an orphan now. Dada, Grandpa feels claustrophobic every time he sees Dave sometimes still likes to pensive himself, even though Grandpa decided to stay here for a few months, to atone for all the guilt Grandpa used to have on Grandpa's granddaughter. Although Grandpa is old, but just calm down the physical and mind of Grandpa is still young, he he he so will not trouble you,” said Grandpa at length.

“Grandpa, everyone has their own past, when there is a word to forgive each other then Grandpa no longer blame himself Grandpa and punish himself Grandpa. As Kiyara knew, Mas Dave was one of the big-hearted ones, he never bothered with the past at all, as with his parents, he also continued to forgive and choose to forget, especially Grandpa's problems with Mommy and Daddy .. which is completely unknown to Mas Dave all this time, he was just once angry because he felt deceived, he said, but now ... here and here all he has forgotten. Grandpa don't be sad anymore yes, and one thing Grandpa never troubles us, at all.”

Grandpa smiled brightly, feeling lucky that his grandson could get a woman like Kiyara, although at the beginning of his meeting he had looked doubtful at his daughter-in-law's granddaughter but after living together, he was very happy, the doubt was replaced with a great sense of admiration and gratitude.
