Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 27

The next day Bram met Erlita at the hospital. He said that all family members agreed to allow Erlita to go take her grandmother to Banyuwangi on the condition that Erlita would not charge all travel expenses, treatment and daily necessities of life and his grandmother to the Susbihardayan extended family.

Erlita laughed at the terms her uncle had proposed.

“Om, om forgot?! That all the treasures that om used and lived in belonged to Eyang? Now Om speaks as if Eyang cannot use his own property to meet the needs of his life.” Erlita was really upset.

“Oh, Lita knows now. So who blocked all my credit cards? Om deliberately want to throw me from the Susbihardayan family?”

Bram just smiled cynically at the babble of his little nephew. “If you already know, you should be wise and do not overstep the limits.”

Erlita was really angry now. He promised in his heart to avenge the actions of the fat and bald man who had just left him.

Erlita immediately took care of the grandmother's needs to be referred to RSUD in Banyuwangi. However, before leaving, he wants to meet Bintoro, a confidant of his grandmother who is being held in prison on charges of embezzlement and money laundering.

“Non Lita why are you here?” bintoro asked to meet with his master's granddaughter.

Erlita smiled, “Lita would like to apologize, Mr. Bin. Lita has su’udzan think that Mr. Bin deliberately late send money monthly to Lita.”

“Sorry, Mr. Bin, Non. Pak Bin can no longer send Non Lita money monthly.”

“Pak Bin need not apologize. Lita believes Mr. Bin is not wrong. Lita here just want to know, how the story Mr Bin can get here?”

After seven days Nafan stayed in Jogja, he immediately packed to return to Banyuwangi.

“Mas, are you sure you don't want to come back to this house again? Now Sir no longer exists.” Alan again sobbed in memory of his employer who had treated him very well like his own grandson.

“Lan, you're Eyang's grandson too. So I'm asking you to take care of everything here. Tomorrow my leave is up, so I have to return to Banyuwangi today.”

”Mas, can't Mas Nafan think again Tuan's request?”

“Sure, Lan. I'll think about it. But for now I am a state servant. So I have to focus on my duties and responsibilities. For a while, you helped me take care of business here huh?”

Alan nodded. Then Nafan hugged her at once saying goodbye. Nafan left Jogja with a heavy heart and full of regrets. He failed to protect the only family member he had.

Now his grandfather was truly gone forever. No more pretending for the sake of making Nafan come home and meet him.

Nafan again felt sad left behind by his closest people for good, after seeing both parents died in an accident a dozen years ago.

All the needs of her grandmother's care transfer to RSUD Banyuwangi are ready. They were forced to leave by ambulance for the safety and security of the grandmother. After taking almost fifteen hours of travel, they finally arrived at RSUD Banyuwangi.

Pratiwi conditions are directly examined and observed. After undergoing a series of tests, Pratiwi was finally put back in the treatment room. That day Erlita deliberately did not tell Nafan that they had arrived in Banyuwangi. He wanted to focus on his grandmother's health.

The next day, the doctor stated that Pratiwi's health condition had stabilized. So Erlita immediately contacted Nafan to inform him of his circumstances and whereabouts.

About an hour later Nafan came to RSUD Banyuwangi to see his wife and grandmother. Erlita immediately hugged Nafan tightly when the scented man of the body came. She missed the smell of her husband.

“Why did you just say that you want to bring Eyang here.” Nafan worriedly imagined how worried and fearful the wife was taking care of her and taking her grandmother that far away by herself.

Pratiwi was awake when the two lovebirds who just let go of the longing came in. Nafan immediately kissed the back of his grandmother's hand.

“Eyang done it?”

Pratiwi.

“Capek Yes Which? Banyuwangi is far away huh?”

Again Pratiwi nodded with a smile.

They then allowed the still weak Pratiwi to return to rest.

A week later, Pratiwi's condition had improved and was allowed to return home.

“Fan, sorry well, I used all your money to buy airline tickets and Eyang medical expenses. This is still a little left over I want to use to pay for the hospital fee here so that Eyang can go home soon.”

Nafan smiled and handed his wallet to his wife, “Wear as you wish. This is your money too kok.”

That afternoon, they had returned to Nafan's official house. Apparently during Erlita accompanied her grandmother in the hospital, Nafan juggled her warehouse into a very comfortable and clean room for them to occupy.

While the main room they had been used to would be occupied by Pratiwi. Because only that room has AC and Nafan does not want to have to hug his grandmother as well to make him sleep like Erlita used to.

“Yang, this house is really small. Even smaller than Sumi's bik room. But Lita hopes that Eyang is at home staying here with Nafan and Lita.”

“Not you saying that you do not feel at home living here and do not want to come back here again?” goda Pratiwi

Erlita pinched her grandmother's arm slowly, “Eyang don't be hard dong.”

Nafan laughed at his wife's funny behavior. “Despite saying not to be at home, Lita would be more uncomfortable living without me, Yang.”

“Sih, ge-er. It pede very yes?” Erlita has little prestige admitting that Nafan's words are indeed true.

They then escorted Pratiwi to sleep in the main room. Erlita then returned to her room to change clothes. Pratiwi saw a small photo placed on Nafan's computer desk. Photo Nafan with his Grandpa who just brought Nafan from his home in Jogja.

“How is your grandfather, Fan?”

Nafan was shocked that Pratiwi suddenly asked about his grandfather. “Those who know my grandfather?”

Pratiwi then took the photo from Nafan's desk. “A long time ago we did not meet. Is he okay?”

Nafan hesitated to tell the truth, but he had no clear reason to lie, “Yang Kung just died two weeks ago, Yang.”

“What?! Innalilahi wainnailaihi rojiun.” Pratiwi's tears suddenly burst out

“Yang Kung died of a heart attack and its complications.”

Pratiwi still sobbed, he could not hold back his tears.

“But Yang, before dying, Yang Kung had told me to tell Eyang that this time Yang Kung agreed with the decision of Eyang.”

Pratiwi was saddened to hear Nafan's words. Despite having to be separated by death in such a way, Pratiwi was relieved because for the first time they agreed on one thing.

Erlita who just came in and saw her grandmother crying, confused, “Fan, what is this? How to cry?”

Nafan allowed his own grandmother to calm down so he took Erlita out of the room.
