Grandpa ended up staying in the apartment for almost a week. Waiting until his wounds were completely dry.
He only had a few bodyguards, to monitor the situation.
Grandfather continued to regret his actions in the past. There is a fear of its own, if all is revealed. He did not know, what he could give in response, to the question after question from his son and grandson later.
Regret is behind, and it hurts. But the sense of prestige and all the things he had to defend, made the Grandfather have to remain silent, to cover up all the moral depravity and the way it worked so far.
The Grandfather did not want to, repeat the times full of twists and turns of official travel and all the irregularities he did.
Even Mr. Andre, in the past, while still one of his men, also knows, how his dark life so far.
That is why, he also believed in Mr. Andre, and did not review all the reports given to him.
"Hmmm... I'm like weathered wood eaten by time. No use, even if only for mere display, if all revealed. It's all over."
With so many thoughts in his head, Grandfather finally felt dizzy. And to relieve his dizziness, he took sleeping pills, so as not to think about many things, especially about his past. Just like he does every headache if there are a lot of problems and thoughts.
"I wish the damn woman remembered where she kept the Flower Brooch. Hopefully, the Flower Brooch was not lost or taken away by the man of his affair. That damn guy, too, who made himself what he is today. If the Flower Brooch was brought by the man, of course he would be able to take advantage of the secret of the Brooch."
Shortly afterwards, the Grandfather seemed to take a deep breath, closing his eyes.
After a while, the Grandfather moved out of his seat, as the reaction from the sleeping pills had already begun. He was sleepy, and wanted to go to sleep immediately.
With lethargic steps, the Grandfather walked towards the room. He entered, then laid himself on his bed, so that he could fall asleep in a comfortable position.

A week later, Mr. Ginting and Surya Jaya, were done with their work in Singapore.
Tomorrow is the time to return to Indonesia. There are tasks that they have to do in the office, because Grandpa is also not in place.
Grandpa was on vacation in America, along with his friends, fellow school personnel first. So a kind of little reunion, which they held, suddenly and only for them - those, Grandpa's friends, who could come along.
Coincidentally, the Grandfather had not been to America for a long time on vacation. Moreover, this was together with his friends, who of course were no longer young.
That was the reason given by the Grandfather to Surya Jaya, when he contacted his grandson.
And Surya Jaya has also given a message from the Grandfather, to his cousin's brother, Mr. Ginting, with what happened to their grandfather.
Therefore, Mr. Ginting or Surya Jaya himself, did not mind and the departure of the Grandfather who impressed suddenly. Because before the two of them left for Singapore, the Grandfather did not say anything about the reunion holiday.
But as a grandchild who has grown up and knows how the Grandfather feels, who has been living alone, especially the Grandfather is also still busy with the many business matters for the sake of the existing work, which is still busy, I can only agree with what Grandpa has decided.
Now, Mr. Ginting along with his wife, miss Kiara, with Surya Jaya, have arrived in Indonesia again.
"I'm sorry, honey. Our holiday in Singapore has accelerated, with Grandpa's departure to America." Mr Ginting apologised to his wife, who was tidying her hair, who was blown away by the wind.
The three of them, just got off Mr. Ginting's private jet.
"Yes, honey, it's okay. I'm on vacation or not. The important thing is you dear," said Yati romantic snobs, because there is Surya Jaya among them.
Of course, Yati or Mr. Ginting himself, did not want if, his cousin's sister knew about the truth of the relationship they have today.
They both don't know if something will happen. An event that could make a big change in the life of a Yati, or Mr. Ginting himself.
"Mas. If you want romantic-romantic, please do not in front of Surya ya!" surya Jaya said, warning her cousin's sister.
Mr. Ginting did not speak of his cousin's sister. He only looked for a moment at Surya Jaya, with a flat face.
Mr. Ginting's attitude, of course, makes Surya Jaya become upset himself, keki and misbehavior. But he can't do anything either. Only one thing can be done by Surya Jaya in the current state, namely silence.

Two weeks later.
The wound on Grandfather's face was gone. Not even a trace at all.
This was because the medicines he was using were quite good and certainly efficacious, as they were not ordinary medicines either.
My grandfather arrived at the airport in Indonesia. He wants to see his grandchildren, for some work and office. But also for his birthday party, which will be held simply, for the family only. There are no big parties, just like in previous years.
Mr. Ginting, who happened to be not busy, picked up Grandpa, along with his driver.
The Grandfather hugged Mr. Ginting, as soon as the two of them had met. He was so happy to meet his grandson.
"Grandpa misses you Ginting. How are you, and your wife?" asked the Grandfather, who was still in a state of hugging Mr. Ginting.
"As Grandpa saw. I'm doing fine. My wife is also kind, don't think about our situation."
The answer given by Mr. Ginting, it sounded cold, but it was not a problem for the Grandfather. Because by wanting to answer questions from him alone, it made Grandpa feel happy. Especially at this time, the grandson also came to pick him up himself, without being asked, to the airport.
Of course, the Grandfather was happy and proud of the change that happened to his grandson's attitude.
The Grandfather believes that the change in attitude of his grandson also has something to do with family life and the love that is in Kiara, the wife of his grandson, Mr. Ginting.
"I want to meet and thank Kiara" murmured the Grandfather.
Mr. Ginting turned his gaze from the road ahead, towards the Grandfather.
"I mean Grandpa?" ask Mr. Ginting, who does not know what his grandfather's words mean. He heard it indistinctly, because Grandfather was just mumbling.
"I want to go straight to your house first. There are souvenirs for Kiara," replied the Grandfather giving an excuse, which he felt was appropriate.
"Hmmm..."
Mr. Ginting let out a long sigh, then went back into silence and no longer wondered at his grandfather.
In fact, on the way home to Mr. Ginting, the Grandfather seemed to fall asleep. Maybe because I was tired on the trip.
"He looked like an ordinary grandfather. Just like all the other grandparents who are old. And his feelings unfortunately too, just like any other grandfather towards his grandchildren. But, why do I feel if there are so many secrets hidden by grandfather. Even the deaths of my parents were also due to misdirected consequences, which should have been aimed at him. Actually, what happened and who would want to harm Grandpa back then?"
As it turned out, all this time, Mr. Ginting thought about what his grandfather was really hiding. He felt something was amiss, related to the life of his grandfather in his past.
Even now, everything looks perfect in the eyes of people. It might even be an example to some people who know them.
