My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Joint Commitment

Devan left the room first because his wife was still taking a shower. He went straight to the living room, and there was already a gathering of Grandpa Cokro, Papa Atmaja.

"Lho's been on the way, Devan thinks only grandpa's here."

"Hush.., what are you saying. This is papa's grandson, Rolland's son, it's only natural that papa and Rolland come here."

"Where's the Rolland?"

"At the back, most accompany Jenny on a walk in the rice field. Where's Aleta Van, how come we've deserted the house."

"Aleta is taking a shower. He's out the most. Aunty again accompanied Miss Rosna with mom to the shopping store for show supplies."

"Mama? You mean who Van is." asked Cokro, while Atmaja already understand if the one called mama is Kinara.

Devan turned to his papa, then after seeing his papa nod, Devan gave an answer.

"Mama Kinara kek, Devan's mother. What Devan once told me. My mom's house is in Yogyakarta, so it's been two days since my mom came here."

"Oh so."

"Grandfather, papa.., sorry Aleta's late coming out. Just had a shower keep praying Ashar." Aleta came and greeted her grandfather and papa.

"Bent pa, cake. Aleta make hot tea first, far no one made a drink from earlier."

Aleta went straight to the kitchen to prepare hot tea. Devan followed his wife to the back.

"Ehm.., hmmm, the more romantic this brother Devan and sister-in-law are here." Rolland suddenly came from the backyard. Jenny followed behind him.

"Romantic, romantic. Take this to the family room, the supermarket's here."

"Oh my God, Brother Devan. Here we are guests, cook asked to lift his own drink."

Devan did not answer and walked out the door to the front yard. With a grunt, Rolland finally raised his own drink made by his brother.

"The company was shut down because Jenn was coming here.

"No, just Mr. Cokro and Rolland have given a briefing to employees. Tomorrow will be Saturday-Sunday, company holiday."

"Oh yes. Sorry Aleta's been home a long time, so sometimes I forget the day."

"When we came, it was very quiet. Aleta didn't use what ART?"

"There's a thing, his name is Bi Puji Nemani I'm here. But just left the same mom and mom were escorted by a driver. Don't know what it was looking for."

"Thank God, Jenny thought Aleta wasn't with ART here."

"Mb Jenn, to the living room. The drinks were taken Rolland all there. Come on, Aleta's with."

Jenny accompanied Aleta back to the family room gathered together.

Saturday afternoon Aleta and Devan had a series of Mitoni events arranged by Ms. Rosna and mama Kinara. The two besan were very compact to organize the event. After the seven-monthly shower was completed, the study was conducted after Maghrib.

"Well, if asked to achieve yes definitely achieved mas. But it's so fun to be able to set up and take care of a child's own show."

Atmaja smiled at Kinara's reply.

"Keep if you have thought of the invitation first Kinar. We're still husband and wife religiously, because I haven't and never have to divorce you."

"Mas Atma. Soon our son will have a son too, who is also our grandson."

"There is no one who will be quiet and cover, if the Atma mas is serious so that we can unite, meet papa mas. With Restu he married me, so that we are legitimate in government."

"Is that what I heard Kinar? All right, tomorrow I'll take Papa Cokro to Yogyakarta. We'll ask you to marry me legally to the government."

Kinar nodded his head, then parted to sleep first.

"Thank God, Kinar is still patient to always wait for me." Atmaja smiled and thought to himself.

After recounting Kinara's request to his papa, Cokro asked Atmaja the next morning to prepare for his departure to Yogyakarta. Again they were ready, so it surprised Aleta and Devan.

"Grandfather, papa.., this morning has been on a very neat. On where to? Not going back to Bandung right" Aleta asked the two.

"You want your papa to meet her.in-law." said grandfather.

Aleta looked at Devan, and her husband was silent.

"Kerus mama Kinar also participated, or only grandfather and papa who met grandfather in Yogyakarta."

"Then you're with your mama, let's not stray the way."

"Thank God, Aleta was so happy. Good luck getting there with the happy news, cake."

From the direction of the family room, it looks Kinara is also ready to leave.

"Come on breakfast first. Earlier this morning before returning to Klaten's house, I was helped by aunty to cook for this morning. Looks like Aunt's prepared at the dinner table."

Devan approached Aleta and handed her a glass of milk to the pregnant woman.

"Now Mas, Aleta wants to eat Mother's cooking first."

"It's okay, the milk is temporarily drunk instead of plain water. Let our son be healthy." said Devan, forcing his wife to drink milk.

"Yes, here. But Aleta usually continues to be full, so just have breakfast that Aleta put down."

"Yes, it's up to you how good it is."

After finishing breakfast, with Ujang delivered, the three of them left for Yogyakarta. Rolland finally got together with Jenny to take a walk in the city of Solo by using Devan's car.
