My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Answers

Kinara was very happy to hear the news about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy. He asks Devan's cousin to go shopping at the market. That morning she cooked a lot, and shared it with the neighbors around. At 7 am the family in Yogya already gathered at Kinara's house, they were waiting for the news of happiness that was delivered by Devan this morning via a phone call.

"Assalamualaik." Devan appears to be holding Aleta's hand in front of the door.

"Wa Alaikum salam" they said, and Kinara immediately stood up to greet Aleta.

"Let's introduce this to all your families."

Devan and Aleta cupped their hands in front of their chests, greeting them.

"Grandfather's healthy." Aleta greeted her husband's grandfather who was sitting on the chair.

"Alhamdulillah be healthy son, what about you and Devan. Healthy too, right?"

"Yes cake, thanks to do.a grandfather and family all. We were also given healthy favors."

"Thank God then."

Aleta shakes her hands and kisses her, followed by Devan. Devan who was unfamiliar with such an atmosphere was just silent, and sat down on a chair.

"Honey, let's join the sit down. We are young, not polite. Aunt Kinanthi just sat down below." Aleta invites Devan to sit down to join them, but Devan shakes his head.

"Let's Aleta, Devan isn't used to this kind of atmosphere. Later on little by little he will learn." said Mama Kinara.

Aleta then joins her family sitting downstairs.

"What events are there, it seems like a lot of cooking on the table?" ask Devan.

"Size Small-small, son, was sharing food to the neighbors around. Thankful you for having a grandchild."

Devan was somewhat surprised by the response from his mother's family. How they are grateful for the blessings God has given them. This has never been seen in his family in Bandung.

"How many months is Aleta's pregnancy?" ask his cousin.

"So the doctor said about 11 weeks, we happened to check first at the hospital before leaving here" Aleta said with a smile, and she unconsciously stroked her stomach.

"Lho's been wanting four months. Budhe.., meaning that later after four months pregnant mbak Aleta, budhe held another thanksgiving event."

"Inshaa Allah Rini, pray Budhe a lot of fortune yes. So that you can give thanks again, and later also fit the age of seven months pregnancy." said Kinara answered his nephew's question.

"Mama.., actually Devan there's something to talk to mama about. Can you?" Devan asked Kinara for time to talk to each other.

"Let's just go to mama's room, it's too crowded here."

Kinara and Devan then passed through them and entered into Kinara's room.

"What's the matter, son, what do you want to talk to your mom about?"

"Look ma, Devan just wanted to ask how is mama doing with papa? Papa's been here, ma."

Kinara paused for a moment, then looked at her son.

"Son.., although mama used to leave you and papa, mama status is still the wife of your father. But it's been thirty years, son, for my mother we're divorced. Mama can't for now, come and confess that mama is Atma's wife."

" Why don't you talk about it with Papa. Poor papa, despite living and living together with Aunt Rengganis, but Devan knows they are only husband and wife status in the marriage book. Rolland Devan's brother, was born in an accident ma."

"Keep what you want from us son. Mom is old now, she is 53 years old. Living in this city until the end of life seems to be the wish of mama at this time."

"Devan wants the current mama to unite with papa. And hopefully before my granddaughter is born, Devan's wishes can be realized. So Devan's son has a complete grandfather and grandmother."

Kinara smiled then hugged Devan.

"Other thing you want to ask me is mama son."

"Actually today, Devan and Aleta want to take mama to Solo ma. Well, than mama here also lives alone, right?"

"Later mamah followed there alone Van. Let Anwar deliver later. You know, right now at home a lot of families are coming."

"Eat first with Aleta. "

"We had breakfast at the hotel. We'll just go."

"Well, fine if that's what you want."

Kinara and Devan went back out of the room.

"I'm sorry, we can't be here until noon. There are many things to do in Solo. So we beg you to pay." Devan asked for a break from the family.

"Lho, don't stay here just yet. Yes be careful on the road, son." said Kinanthi.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Devan and Aleta then return to Solo.

Rolland takes Jenny to lunch outside the office. After telling Grandpa Cokro, they both went to the diner.

"Jenn.., do you know what I'm taking you out to lunch with me."

Jenny who was stirring her drink, stopped her activity then looked towards Rolland. She shook her head.

"I just wanted to tell you Jenn, that I'm serious about being in a relationship with you. But the truth is, I'm not ready to make a commitment."

"But grandfather asked me to propose to your family immediately. Well, how else would Jenn be. You also know how my family is doing right now."

Jenny sucks the drink using a straw, then takes the French fries and puts it in her mouth.

"I know Lland. But I also want, the person who will make a commitment with me comes from his own desire, not from coercion from anyone. Though there's also the hell, like Aleta who ends up happy with Devan."

"But I won't be able to be as patient as Aleta."

They both fell silent.

"But I wanted to try it on Jenn, but I gave it back to you. If you want, I'll tell papa and grandpa right away. And then we'll both find Mama Rengganis, because after all she's my real mama."

Jenny was a bit surprised by Rolland's words, then she looked back at Rolland's face.

"Rolland, marriage is not a toy. It doesn't matter whether you try or not."

Rolland smiled. Then she held Jenny's hand.

"As long as you're willing to Jenn, I'm sure you'll accompany me to fill the days of both of us. We're gonna make it with a real family."

Jenny did not answer Rolland's words, she just looked him in the eye. Rolland smiled and nodded his head.

"You are Jenn. What do you want from this relationship. Please, help me, Jenn."

After a while, Jenny finally nodded her head. Rolland kissed Jenny's hand, and from the look on her face it was seen that she was very happy.

"But you have to propose to me with my family too. Not just with me."

"Whatever I'll do for you, Jenn. I'll tell grandfather later, and also to papa."
