My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Prayer Rest

After work, Rolland invited Jenny to Cileungse to meet her mother Rengganis. He had already discussed his intention to propose to Jenny to Papa Atmaja, and Cokro's grandfather, and they had already agreed. Like the advice of her brother Devan, they also had to ask for the blessing of Amam Rengganis. In an elite housing estate, Rolland reports to the security portal to notify them of their arrival. After checking the identity card, security finally allowed them to enter. In a house with a Mediterranean concept, Rolland parked his car.

"Let's Jenn. I hope you're home right now." Rolland asked Jenny to come down.

They looked to the left right, but there was a quiet atmosphere.

"Lland, there's a bell coming in. Let's just pull it, hopefully someone's in this house."

Rolland followed Jenny's advice, then he headed for the terrace and pressed the bell in. The first pressure had no response, Rolland repeated three times. After waiting for a while, there was the sound of a door opening from within. Rolland and Jenny immediately approached the front entrance.

"Rolland, Jenny..., are you here? Let's all go in." exclaimed Rengganis who was shocked at the arrival of his biological son Rolland.

Rolland immediately approached and hugged his mother, then Rengganis hugged him back. For a moment the mother and son hugged each other, and Jenny became moved to see the two. Unknowingly tears welled up in her eyelids.

"Who is Nis? Oh there's a guest apparently, let's go in first, not at the door." a male voice sounded.

Rengganis embraced her son then took him inside, and invited him to sit on the guest sofa.

"Mas Miko remember who this is? This is Rolland mas, my biological son with Mas Atma. Rolland, this is my mom's husband, Om Jatmiko his name." Rengganis introduced Jatmiko to her son.

"Mama's married to him, son. I'm sorry for not presenting you at my mom's wedding and Om Jatmiko."

Rolland nodded his head, then greeted Jatmiko. Rengganis then recounted the process of marriage with Jatmiko which they only did in KUA.

"Om Miko.., Rolland tipped mama ya Om. Rolland could not keep and accompany mama here. Rolland hopes Om Miko can look after and watch over mama."

Jatmiko smiled at the words of her stepson Rolland, then she embraced Rengganis.

"Definitely Rolland, your mama Rengganis is a woman who Om has loved for a long time. Well, because your past finally married your father and left Om."

"Mbok.., mbok Darmi.., make sweet hot tea yes." The rengganis shouted to call out his ART.

"Yes Madam.., mbok is preparing the hot water first."

Not waiting long, mbok Darmi delivered four cups of hot sweet tea.

"Let's drink first, then we'll talk. I'm sure you're both here because there's something important you're going to tell Mama. Tidka might just play here."

Rolland looked at Jenny, then invited Jenny to enjoy hot tea and snacks that had been prepared Mbok Darmi.

"Yes, just like my mom said. Rolland and Jenny are here to ask Mom for permission."

"Ijin?? go where you go." asked Rengganis while smiling at the two of them.

Jenny smiled shyly, then Jenny's hand was grabbed by Rolland.

"Look ma, Rolland and Jenny are determined to end our single period immediately. We ask for my blessing and permission from my mother."

For a moment Rengganis fell silent, she felt moved. Although by the time they lived together, she ignored Rolland's existence, it turned out that her son still considered her a mother. Unknowingly Rengganis shed tears.

"Why did you cry, did you disapprove of our relationship?" Rolland was a bit shocked to see the reaction his mother showed.

Rengganis grabbed Jenny, then hugged and kissed Jenny while shedding tears.

"Please don't talk like that ma. Mama is Rolland's birth mother, however she is the one who in any case, Rolland is obliged to ask for permission and blessing."

Rolland and Jenny are very happy to have received permission and blessing from the mother of Rengganis. Rolland later recounted that his brother Devan already had two twin sons, and his father Atmaja was remarried to mother Kinara.
