Love for Hana

CHAPTER 16

Hana was drinking her favorite iced lemon tea while waiting for Carissa to arrive. That day he and Carissa plan to look for the kebaya that he will wear at graduation. Hana actually never told Evan to ask Carissa to accompany him, this was all an idol from Evan himself.

Hana was afraid that she would feel too awkward to be near Carissa. He and Carissa have met twice and the moment they met was not a pleasant moment. Hana is afraid that later she will give a bad impression to Carissa, regardless Carissa is a friend of her father and mother, Carissa is also the mother of her lover.

"Hello dear," said Carissa to Hana's surprise, making Hana choke a little. Fortunately, Carissa was not aware of this. Hannah swallowed her drink and gave the best smile she had.

"Hi Aunt. I'm sorry if Hana's bothering Auntie" said Hana and kissed Carissa's hand. Carissa smiled, she recalled the first time she met Hana at the hospital.

After talking for fifteen minutes they both decided to look for a store that provides kebaya rental services. According to Hana because it will only be used once so he should rent it.

They spend approximately forty-five minutes choosing the right kebaya for Hana to wear later. Eventually their choice fell to a modern kebaya with a\-beaded accent around the neck and bangian wrist. As well as zippers placed on the back hidden neatly behind the arrangement of small\-beads.

Having a maroon color makes the kebaya contrast with Hana's white skin. While the pair of kebaya that Hana will use is a batik skirt with a matching color.

Carissa then enters a shoe store followed by Hana from behind. While Hana was looking at the\-see shoe on display, Carissa approached her with a pair of shoes in her hand.

Hana had not realized the meaning of Carrisa until the shoe was placed Carissa in front of Hana's feet. “Hana, cobain his shoes,” said Carissa while gently patting Hana's shoulder. Hana becomes increasingly confused by Carissa's attitude, but she keeps up with Carissa's desire to try on the shoes, she fears Carissa is offended.

Hana slowly tried to put her foot into the shoe. Well-favoured. The shoes look very fitting to be worn by Hana. The combination of gold on the base of the foot with a small maroon jewel on the top of the shoe and on the strap makes the shoe look elegant. It is suitable if combined with the kebaya that Hana will use later.

“Very beautiful, the size is also right for you Hana,” said Carissa happy. Hana still admired the shoes she was wearing so she had not responded to what Carissa had said. In Hana's heart she wanted these shoes.

“Mba I want to take this one yes to my son,” Carissa said to a saleswoman standing next to them.

Hannah was surprised to hear Carissa's words. He did not expect that Carissa actually wanted to buy these shoes for him. Hana hurriedly told Carissa not to buy him the shoes, but Carissa did not accept rejection so Hana would not want to accept the shoes given by Carissa.

Honestly, Hana in her heart felt very happy Carissa did that. It wasn't about her stuff but the attention Carissa gave her meant a lot to her. Since Hana could no longer do this kind of activity with her mother, she became very grateful to Carissa. Moreover, Carissa treated Hana like her own child.

After she finished shopping, Carissa drove Hana home. Hana had been trying to hold back her tears. He was very moved by what Carissa did for him today. Carissa realized Hana's change of attitude was becoming more reserved than before. He sure must be this time Hana so miss his mother very much.

“Hana, sorry Auntie yes if Aunt has crossed the line. Auntie is so happy to be spending time with you today. For Auntie, you are not just Evan's girlfriend, but you are also Aunt's best friend's son who is very much missed,” Carissa said gently to Hana.

This time Hana could no longer hold back her tears that slowly soaked her two cheeks. “Tante didn't cross any boundaries anyway, instead Hana is very happy today. Hana hasn't had a chance to experience like this with Buna, but God gave Hana a chance to feel this with Auntie. Hana is very grateful for that. Hana sure Buna must also be happy up there,” said Hana smiling.

...*****...

Lately, Bramantyo's health is indeed being disrupted. He often feels pain in his stomach, becomes often no appetite and has difficulty sleeping at night. It made him often suddenly\-suddenly unconscious, like this time.

Although it has often done the examination, but still not known the exact cause of the complaints that Bramantyo felt. And if asked directly to him, Bramantyo just said nothing.

Effendi and Alita are very worried about the current state of Bramantyo. Bramantyo becomes more silent and daydreaming. At first they thought this was because Bramantyo was no longer working. All the business he had left to Effendi. And besides, his age is no longer young to continue working.

“Mi, how is Papi? Doctor said what?” effendi asked as soon as he met Alita. Bramantyo is now asleep with an infusion tube in her hand.

“Doctor Papi says it's okay\-nothing. Papi seems to be sleep deprived again these few days, so his body lacks rest,” replied Alita. Although Alita and Bramantyo's relationship has been strained for a long time, Alita still loves her husband very much.

Hardhearted Bramantyo who makes their relationship not like before. He often imposes his will and is selfish for the sake of his wishes. It also destroyed the family of the one\ only son he had.

The relationship between Effendi and Bramantyo. Despite following all his father's wishes, it does not make Effendi again warm to Bramantyo. Effendi prefers to avoid meeting Bramantyo as often as possible.

His smile was considered just a formality, but that does not mean Effendi no longer loves his father. The affection is still there, though not as big as it used to be. In fact, he is still very worried about his father's current situation.

“Mi, I say back. There was a meeting I couldn't stay, I asked Dani to leave, but now I have to go. Mommy okay\-can I stay alone for a while?” ask Effendi. Alita. Effendi left after kissing the hands of Alita and Bramantyo who were still asleep.

Five minutes after Effendi left, Bramanyo opened his eyes. Apparently he had woken up since then, but he kept his eyes closed pretending to be asleep. Bramantyo knew that Effendi was not comfortable around him.

To be honest in recent years Bramantyo began to think about his treatment of his son-in-law and grandson. Even more so when learning that Kanaya has died. There was a sense of guilt that was slowly eating away at him.

I don't know what made Bramantyo start to soften his heart. But he was actually very eager to meet the one\-only grandson he had. He wanted to apologize before it was completely\-too late.

"Alita.." call Bramantyo weak. Alita is shocked to not realize her husband has woken up since.

"Mas, are you awake? Is anyone sick? I'm calling the doctor, right?" ask Alita to worry. Bramantyo just shook his head. Right now it's not the doctor he wants to see, but Hana. He did not want to delay any more to meet with Hana.

"I want to meet my granddaughter" Bramantyo replied. Alita was confused by her husband's request.

"You want me to call Maya here, Mas?" alita asked to confirm her husband's intentions. There is no way Bramantyo asked to want to meet with Hana.

"My granddaughter Hana, Alita," Bramantyo answered clearly.
