"Who's that handsome guy behind you, baby?!"
Grandma Salamah asked gently, as she was curious about Arata. Grandma was confused usually if Lili visiting never brought a man. What Lili had invited to Bandung were her two best friends.
"I am Arata, husband of Grandma's favorite granddaughter!"
Arata introduced himself to Salamah's grandmother, hearing Arata's words surprised her. Salamah's grandmother told the two of them to enter the house. They went in and sat down, even though grandfather did not care about Lili. After hearing that he was married, grandfather was still sitting down and he wanted to listen to Lili's story.
Lili tells of their marriage very suddenly, so it is not possible to tell grandmother. Because at that time the grandmother was treated in the hospital, so Mama Hani did not want to trouble the grandmother. Lili did not tell of the abuse that Arata did, hearing all the stories Lili hearted grandmother very happy. Even though he didn't attend his granddaughter's wedding.
Salamah's grandmother told a servant to prepare a room for Lili and Arata to rest. Seeing the exhausted Lili, Grandma told him to take a break. There is still tomorrow to talk. Grandfather watched Arata closely, although he was always thin on Lili. But in her heart she was very happy to see Lili's husband who she thought, Arata could protect and make her grandson happy.
No one knew the contents of Grandfather's heart even though it was grandma, she had always hidden all her affection towards Lili. In her heart she had forgiven Mama Hani, it felt like she wanted to hug Lili. She misses Lili's arrival so much, even when she visits her treatment of Lili is cruel.
Entering the room that had been provided by the grandmother specifically for Lili, no one was allowed to keep this room. Arata, who had been watching Lili from the beginning, felt something strange about her. So much sadness in her eyes, it felt like she wanted to ask exactly what had happened to her.
Arata melancholy, he also lay his body on the bed. Seeing Arata asleep on his bed, he decides to clean himself up first. After he finished cleaning himself up, he still saw Arata asleep.
"Average wake-up! Clean yourself up, after that you can go back to sleep!"
Lili tries to wake Arata who is asleep, Lili wiggles Arata's body so she wakes up. But Arata does not wake up too, finally Lili let Arata sleep. He could not sleep in his mind, he needed a medicine that could make him fall asleep without being woken up by nightmares.
He went out to the balcony, he saw the sky of Bandung. The air gets colder at night. He thought about what he should do, every time there was input from outside parties. It's easy to say but hard to do.
His mind was drifting somewhere, Arata wearing a warm shirt on Lili's body. Arata's actions awakened him from the reverie.
"Sleep, it's night! I know this is hard for you, but try not to rely on drugs!"
After saying that Arata went towards the bathroom, he intended to clean himself up before returning to rest. Lili went back in, she was still thinking about what Arata had just said. He also put his body on the bed. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
Arata saw Lili who was already asleep, her drowsiness had not appeared because she had just woken up. He decided to take a walk out for a while. He saw grandfather sitting alone looking at the sky full of twinkling stars.
Arata also approached his grandfather, although Arata was born and grew up in Japan. But she can speak Indonesian, because Rima's mother always taught Arata Indonesian. Sometimes at home always use Indonesian, because the mother does not want to forget her identity as an Indonesian citizen.
Arata decides to start a conversation with grandfather, though at first he ignores Arata. Gradually, my grandfather started talking to Arata. He told me about the condition of all his sons and daughters. Grandpa said that he loved Mama Hani so much, just because of a man who was loved by Mama Hani. Grandpa gets angry and throws Mama Hani out of the house.
For some reason, Grandpa told Arata everything, in the end his story said he loved Lili very much. It's just that grandpa doesn't know where to start. Aray who heard that immediately thought of a way that they could talk to each other and understand.
There comes a plan in Arata's mind, tomorrow he will begin the plan. But she needs grandma's help for the plan she's already made. Since it was late at night, grandfather decided to take a break. So did Arata, he went into the room saw Lili was asleep.
Arata also laid his body on the bed, he looked at Lili's face carefully. In Arata's heart was very sad, so much suffering and sadness that Lili experienced. Added to that by his act of harassing Lili. Arata falls asleep next to Lili.
The next day Arta asks Grandma to come up with a plan, to unite grandfather and Lili. Arata wants the two of them to be able to speak everything in their hearts. Grandma who listened to Arata's plan strongly agreed, grandma will help Arata's plan.
"Open door! Arata if you don't open this door! Then I'll beat you up so you can't stand up anymore!"
Shouted Lili who was annoyed with Arata's ignorant attitude, grandfather chuckled who heard Lili's cry. Unexpectedly her granddaughter was very tough, she dared to threaten to beat her husband to the point of not being able to stand up. Lili was surprised to hear the sound of the grandfather's laughter, because during the time she met him grandfather did not make his voice.
"Are you willing to beat up your husband? until I can't stand up anymore!"
Lili shed tears, over time the tears that came out more and more and wet both cheeks. He didn't think Grandpa was talking to him. This was the first time Grandfather asked Lili, her cries were getting more and more open. He could no longer bear the sadness and happiness mixed in.
Hearing Lili's cry, grandma was about to open the door of the room. But Arata gets in the way, not enough time for them to talk to each other. Shedding their hearts for years, the grandmother followed Arata's words.
Arata asked Grandma to sit down while waiting for grandchildren and grandfather to finish talking. One hour they were in the room, heard they had started talking at length.
"Greetings open the door! We've made up, so you can set us free!"
Grandma smiled at Grandpa's words, she also opened the door to her room. Seen grandfather was embracing Lili, so happy grandmother saw their togetherness. It was this kind of atmosphere that my grandmother had wanted for years. The three of them hugged each other, the grandmother felt grateful for the success of Arata's plan.
Grandma called Arata, finally the four of them hugged each other. Done are all the misunderstandings and selfishness that you have between grandfather and Lili. Now they can joke, what a beautiful sight.
The day was already noon, it was a sign that Lili and Arata had to return to Jakarta to attend Salma and Rio's wedding. They say goodbye to grandparents, actually grandfather still miss Lili. But he could not forbid Lili to stay. Because he's going to attend his best friend's wedding. With a heavy heart, grandparents drove them to the doorstep of Lili's departure.
"An average good young man, he can definitely protect and make our grandson happy!"
Grandpa said to Grandma, because it was seen from Arata's grandfather's point of view like that. Grandma also agreed to what Grandpa said, all of it was seen with her own eyes. That Arata can unite grandfather and Lili who have not talked to each other for years.
Grandma called Mama Hani, told her everything. Hearing all the stories of grandma, Mama Hani cried. All the struggles that Mama Hani put in to unite grandfather and Lili were unsuccessful. Even all that worked thanks to Arata, all that made Mama Hani convinced that Arata had changed.
In her heart, Mama Hani hopes that Lili can forgive Arata, recover from her trauma and live happily with Arata. After hearing Grandma's story, Grandpa picked up his phone and spoke to Mama Hani. Hearing grandfather's voice, Mama Hani cried for a long time she did not hear the voice of the father who loved her very much.
Mama Hani and grandfather apologized for each other's selfishness during this time, because the nature of Mama Hani decreased from grandfather. Until they are firm with their stand. That's why they haven't talked to each other for years.
Mama Hani and grandfather talk is over, Mama Hani also told papa Karim everything. Papa Karim heard all the stories. After a long time, the truce between father, son and grandson is over.
