It's been almost a week since Abyan's first experiment used crutches. Natha never saw him or never asked for his help to try again. So did Natha herself who did not ask. He remembered his disappointment that day.
At this time, Natha is having dinner with all the Grissham family.
Natha made hot soup for Abyan. At first a servant to help took her, but Natha refused subtly.
With a slow step, he stepped carefully. Arriving in the dining room, Natha almost fell tripping over the legs of a chair. His eyes were shocked.
Alice screamed at that. In the past few seconds, everyone watching was extremely tense. Natha just closed her eyes imagining the heat and pain.
However, an arm circled around and pulled her waist. Natha was caught in a warm embrace. Natha's heart was pounding.
When Natha's eyes opened, her pupils instantly widened. His rhythm is getting faster. Everyone who watched was dumbfounded. The spoon in their hands fell down causing a clanking sound.
"You.." Natha's voice was trembling.
Natha could not believe what she was seeing and feeling right now. It was as if he was dreaming, because Abyan was holding him. Although Natha could feel her trembling legs, her embrace was tight and strong.
"Yes. I can." Abyan smiled and kissed his temple, "This week I kept trying the crutches without your knowledge. But I never expected this day to come either. Even the duration I stood for is very long."
Natha's eyes were reddened. He returned his embrace and immediately cried. Alice, too, was shocked yet happy. Albert and Briyan were no less grateful.
From then on, and after Abyan was able to stand up, he began a difficult and professional reconstruction. Natha became less concerned about her school. Because every morning, Natha would accompany Abyan to the hospital.
But because Natha did not want to get into trouble, sometimes every time Natha would accompany Abyan in the hospital until the treatment was over. Or other than Natha, sometimes Briyan will accompany her sister, because Natha made arrangements that there should be someone on Abyan's side for the treatment period.
At first Abyan did not agree, because he was not as fragile as it had to be accompanied, but with firmness Natha finally relented.
Briyan herself certainly agreed with her sister-in-law's proposal. Moreover, Abyan's health responsibility has been handed over to the Grissham family Natha.

It did not feel like Natha's mid-term exams were being completed. Natha is only a few months away from finishing school.
In the middle of the year, many families in the upper class held a banquet in their homes. The Lumian family.
For this banquet, Sonia and Andre went to great lengths, the first person they invited was the Grissham family. Of course, to invite them had to go through Natha first make a breakthrough.
Sonia immediately called Natha who was raised ten seconds later.
"Hallo?" After hearing Deheman, Sonia began to speak, "Natha, our family is going to have a banquet. Aunt wants to invite you and all the Grissham family."
"No," Natha refused without thinking.
Sonia did not expect to be immediately rejected. Despite feeling angry, her voice sounded soft, "Natha? How do you reject us? Is that what you hate about us?"
"No," he looked flat. Because Natha heard Lexandra had recovered, she did not want to give them another chance to count.
"Why did you reject it? This house is where you grew up. Your grandfather will be sad. Don't you want to go home at all?"
"If I miss grandpa, I'll visit him without coming home to Lumian's residence."
"Yes, of course." Natha smiled. But it didn't reach her eyes, "It seems like auntie never remembered to look at grandpa's tombstone."
Sonia stammered, "W-how could that be? Aunt always thinks about your grandfather. Even aunt planned to visit him the next few days. When are you going to leave? Let's go together, make your grandfather happy to see our harmony."
"Good." Natha did not refuse. He immediately told the designated time and hung up the phone.
On the other hand, Sonia's face was instantly moody. Sure enough, Natha was already beyond his reach. At first, the girl was in his palm, even his life. However, in just a few months, his temperament had completely changed and always had an opinion of his own.
Sonia growled in annoyance. She put away her phone and went to tell her husband about it.

When Natha was going to visit her grandfather, the weather was not good. Since morning, the sky has been drizzling.
On the other hand, initially Sonia will not leave because the weather is not good. But thinking Abyan will come with Natha, he reluctantly goes with his daughter. He still has a chance to invite.
Along the way Nhita grumbled because her high heels were dirty because of the mud and stagnant water. He just wanted to get back in his car and go home.
"Can you shut up? Your shoes are not important. Now Abyan is more important!" Sonia reprimanded in annoyance at her grunts.
Nhita finally calmed down and fell silent when she heard that.
But what disappoints them, namely when meeting Natha there is no Abyan at all around him.
Seeing that, Nhita shouted sharply, "Natha! Where is Abyan?!"
Natha frowned. He reacted coldly, "Of course at home."
The faces of the mother and child changed. Nhita was getting annoyed and angry, "What?! How's he at home? Can't you be separated all the time? He even took you to school! Why didn't Abyan come to visit grandfather on such an important day?!"
Abyan didn't come because of course he came. Just yesterday, Natha visited her grandfather's grave together. Compared to today's bad weather, yesterday was very sunny.
Initially this morning Abyan intended to join and accompany Natha, but because the weather was not so good, Abyan's rehabilitation was in a critical stage and not suitable for exiting. Therefore, Natha ordered him to stay at home and rest well.
Natha ignored Nhita's screams. He even recalled how the man frowned as he left. His eyes blinked miserably as if a child had seen his mother go to the market without inviting him. Natha chuckled softly.
Nhita is getting angry. She thought Natha was chuckling at him for mocking him. But he doesn't want to talk anymore because he won't get Natha's response. Nhita turned her head and walked in the same direction she was heading. Clearly standing at the entrance of the cemetery, Nhita had no intention of visiting inside.
Looking at Nhita's back that was moving away, Natha's expression did not change, but a cold light flashed across her eyes.
Sonia also wants to leave, but she is more mature than her daughter. Trying to suppress the anger and aggravation, Sonia smiled, "Natha? Let's go inside.."
Natha nodded casually, but she clearly saw Sonia's unwillingness. Natha stepped closer to her grandfather's tombstone.
Standing near the tombstone, Natha remained silent for a long time with her eyes set on the cemetery.
Just as Sonia was about to speak out of patience, Natha finally spoke, "Grandfather. My aunt and I visited you. At first Nhita came, but at the entrance of the cemetery, she seemed to change her mind and left again."
Sonia's face was drowning. He pulled Natha's arm, "Natha what are you talking about? Nhita seemed to remember something important. That's why he left."
