My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Psychological trauma

At four o'clock in the morning the rental car carrying Aleta has arrived in Baki, Sukoharjo. Since the location point was a bit confusing, the driver carefully woke Aleta up.

"Good morning brother." driver tried to call Aleta.

Aleta flinched from her sleep, after a moment of silence, she only remembered that she was currently running away from her husband.

"Yes.., how sir." asked Aleta after successfully gathering her consciousness.

"I'm sorry, brother, it's been a shock. We are now in the Tray area. To the point of location apologize I can't find it" said the driver explaining the reason for waking him up.

"Oh I'm sorry sir, I should have led the way. I even overslept." Aleta replied embarrassedly. After observing the surroundings, Aleta understood where they were now.

"Straight follow this road, sir, later meet the T-junction, take the left about two kilometers, later there will be a boarding house named Goddess. Just to the right of the street." Aleta explained the direction to the address they were going to.

"Good sister, thank you." replied the driver then following the instructions given by Aleta.

Realizing that she was far away from her husband's location, Aleta opened her phone carefully. Then he took out a chip and kept it in his wallet. Disappearing was one of the best ways he could do for now. In the distance Aleta sees a 24-hour kiosk selling cellular phone accesories.

"Sir, please stop for a while at the front stall yes sir. I have something to look for." Aleta asks the driver to stop the car.

"Okay, brother." replied Driver, then he stopped the car.

Aleta immediately got out of the car, and looked at the 24-hour kiosk in addition to selling mobile phone accesories also providing drinks and snacks.

"You're looking for what mbak." asked the stallkeeper kindly.

"I'm looking for a cellular chip from Telkomsel yes mas, same two Hot Cappucino." said Aleta.

"Okay, wait a minute. Please sit down first, I prepare the order first" said the guard who immediately prepared the order Aleta.

Aleta took some packaged cakes for the stomach booster for the driver. He was rather sorry, as he was asleep, he did not rest the driver in the rest area.

In about 15 minutes, Aleta's order was completed.

"For the chip, you want to select a special number."

"No need to, random. Just ask for help to be paired on my phone huh" Aleta said as she handed the phone to the kiosk keeper.

Once the chip is installed, Aleta immediately pays the payment and then returns to the car.

"Sir, I'm sorry I didn't have time to stop by the rest area. Dad while drinking the same stuffed stomach wear this first yes." Aleta hands one glass of hot Cappucino and one plastic packaged cake to Driver.

"It's okay, brother, was brother sleeping. It's more than enough" said Driver to take the glass and cake from Aleta's hand.

After approximately 10 minutes of rest, the driver runs his car back. 15 minutes later they arrive at their destination.

"It's over" said the driver, turning off the car's engine. Then he got out of the car and opened the trunk of the car.

Just now Aleta will make a phone call on Corry, from behind the gate Corry has come out and welcome the arrival of Aleta with a smile of hospitality.

"Alhamdulillah you have arrived girl.., I did not sleep waiting for your arrival." said Corry while hugging his best friend. Aleta returned Corry's embrace.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Here's the sis, I might go on." Driver handed Aleta a bag of clothes and said goodbye.

"I'm sorry brother, this is too much for a tip. I can't take it." The driver subtly refuses the gift from Aleta.

"Sir, I was wrong. You should rest first in my place, just continue the journey. But because I was in a female-only boarding house, there was no way I would take my father to rest here" Aleta explained.

"This money you can use to take a room and transit in the hotel for a while, only after being fit you continue the journey back." Aleta forced the driver to accept the money she had prepared.

After a short debate, the driver finally accepted the tip money given by Aleta.

Early morning there was a commotion at the Cokro family home. At dawn, Devan awakens from his sleep and reflexively seeks the tender warmth of his wife's body. However, as soon as he looked aside, he did not find Aleta's whereabouts by his side.

"Cold.., and it looks like these pillows and beds are still intact." Devan suddenly felt a bad feeling.

"Darling.., Aleta.you did." Devan called out his wife's name, but there was no sound let alone an answer. Devan got out of bed and searched the bathroom.

"The floor is dry, meaning for a long time Aleta does not use the bathroom."

"Or maybe Aleta slept in the guest room." Devan sat in and then went out into the back garden, and saw a guest room that looked like a sleeping light was on.

Devan slowly headed towards the guest room beside the pool, then he knocked on the door quietly.

"Tok..tok.tok.., baby.get up early." call Devan while knocking on the door three times.

There were no long footsteps, and the door opened.

"Papa?? Why are you sleeping here." asked Devan in surprise.

"Yes Van, papa is lazy to fight with your mama. What's the matter, who are you looking for, your wife?" asked Atmaja with a little anxiety. He also had a hunch that any woman would leave if faced with reality like last night.

Without replying, Devan immediately ran towards the exit, and he could easily push the door towards the exit. Seeing his son's panic, Atmaja immediately followed Devan forward.

"Why is the door unlocked" Devan asked himself.

"Bi Puji. pak Karyo. pak Asep, wake upnnnnnnnn everything." without thinking Devan shouted loudly woke Puji, Asep, and Karyo.

"Calm down Van, it's still morning. Try calling her phone first." Atmaja.

"What's the matter, Young Master..," Puji hurried to meet his master who seemed to be in a state of turmoil.

From the front side Asep and Karyo also ran towards Devan. His extremely loud yelling also disturbed the other family members. Before long Cokro, Rolland and Rengganis gathered in the living room. Seeing everything gathered, without seeing his wife's whereabouts, Devan unexpectedly sobbed while sitting on the floor. Sensitive cocoa with psychological trauma once experienced by his grandson, directly approached and embrace Devan tightly.

"Rolland.., Karyo. check the CCTV camera immediately." Cokro can immediately understand what happened, once seeing the psychological trauma Devan looks will appear.

Atmaja immediately tried to call Aleta's mobile number, but the answer appeared "The number you contacted is not active, and is out of range."

While the Rengganis looked relaxed in response to the situation this morning.

"Eventually he went alone, without any trouble I got rid of him." - inwardly.
