My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

New Strategy

Maurin was very careful to take care of her pregnancy and take good care of herself. Meanwhile, Pastri's prospective grandmother continues to urge Rengganis to immediately apply officially for Maurin to Devan.

"How should we deal with the view of the jeng society, please jeng Rengganis also pay attention to our feelings. Even Maurin's father, in the least, did not want to fight for his son" Lastri said one afternoon to Rengganis.

"I've tried Jeng, too, but my son is very stubborn. Even unilaterally he decided to stay in Central Java to accompany his wife who was completing his studies there." Rengganis replied as he occasionally sipped his drink through the straw.

"While Atmaja wants the results of DNA tests to make sure that the baby in Maurin's womb is really his grandson. Given the many other members of the family, it felt like we didn't see Devan with Maurin that night" he said.

"****...., we are both jeng women. And we both know how the risks the fetus will face, if the DNA test is forced while still in the womb. The risk of miscarriage will be very high." Lastri begins to be provoked by emotions, because the Devan family is deliberately stalling for time to make a commitment to his daughter.

"Well, what else does Jeng. Or how about using my idea. To temporarily keep judgment from the community, and while waiting for the birth process of the baby what if for a while Maurin we reveal." The rengganists tried to offer one proposal.

"I have an unused property in Singapore . For a while Maurin we put it there, while waiting for the birth of my grandson." he continued.

Lastri was silent for a while trying to interpret the words of his social friend. He seemed to have no other way to force the Devan family to accept his daughter.

Rengganis also felt the same way, his past fatal mistakes where he was caught cheating with other men, making his status in the Cokro family eliminated. His affair occurred because as a form of revenge because of Atmaja's treatment of him.

"How disgusted by my last proposal," asked the gentle Rengganis.

"Later I'll talk to Maurin jeng's father. Although he does not care, but as Maurin's father I am obliged to member his year. Besides, I also have to ask Maurin." Lastri thinks maybe that option is the best solution at the moment.

"Don't worry Jeng Lastri, my property in Singapore is in my own name. You are free to use it, if my grandson is born I will turn the name on his behalf. It was as a gift for his presence in the world." The Rengganis tried to convince Lastri.

"Well Jeng, I'll convince Maurin to stay there. Maybe I'll keep him company until my granddaughter is born, let alone medical technology there is still more advanced than here."

Eventually afternoon talks between the two mothers resulted in an agreement between the two. Rengganis immediately said goodbye to Lastri, on the grounds that he had to be home immediately before the Maghrib Adhan.

Rengganis turned his car in the other direction away from the Lembang area, and directed the car he drove himself to the Dago area. In a Mediterranean-style building, Rengganis stopped his car.

Seeing a car**Camry city stop at the car port, a middle-aged woman immediately opened the door of the house to Rengganis. Seen if the Rengganis is already very familiar with this place.

"Good afternoon Mrs Anis" said the middle-aged woman.

"Now afternoon, there is Jatmiko mas," Rengganis asked a man named Jatmiko to Onah's domestic assistant in the house.

"There's Madam, from this afternoon Mr. Jatmiko was in the study room. He has not come down from earlier, Onah does not dare to disturb." replied Onah.

"Prepare hot sweet tea and snacks.I will deliver to the room mas Jatmiko." Rengganis gave the order then occupied a chair at the dining table, waiting for Onah to prepare his order.

"Well, Madam, wait a minute." Onah immediately prepared the hot tea and fried bananas that he had fried a while ago.

After knocking on the door three times, Rengganis directly pushed the door and entered into the room. He saw a man his age named Jatmiko was asleep with his head laid on the study table. With a smile Rengganis put the tray then approached Jatmiko.

For a moment Rengganis looked at the face of the man who filled his heart since he was Junior High with longing. Because of the coercion of his parents at that time, he was forced to be married to Atmaja.

"Mas Miko.., why rest here." Rengganis tries to wake Jatmiko whom he calls Miko. She hugs Miko from behind, and gives a kiss on her cheek to wake her up.

"Hmm. hmm, you still remember me Anis," asked Jatmiko who started to open her eyes and saw the face of her past lover was not far from her face.

The smiling Rengganis did not answer Jatmiko's words. Instead Rengganis gave an answer by putting his hands behind Jatmiko's clothes, and guerrilla tracing the top of Jatmiko's body. Deftly his fingers unbuttoned Jatmiko's shirt one by one.

"You're still the same Anis, you'll find me if you need ****. What a goddamn man is not able to meet your needs" said Jatmiko who then stood up and offset the game given by the woman who is not young anymore.

Without a lot of words, finally the male and female couples without marriage ties were already overlapping on the sofa located in the corner of the study room.

"You're still giving the same taste to Miko" said Rengganis after they finished their relationship and forbidden satisfaction.

"Hm..You fools prefer that cowardly man over me" said Jatmiko, sipping tea that was no longer hot.

Rengganis lets Jatmiko enjoy her tea and snacks, while she sends a message to her husband via the WhatsApp app to let him know if he's coming home late. After a while..

"You have a problem what mas, said Onah from noon you have not come out of this room" asked Rengganis.

Jatmiko smiled wryly, and looked at the woman in front of her. Although he is not young anymore, but Rengganis is very good at taking care of his body. Some parts of his body still look smooth and tight.

"Yes I was confused thinking about my company. My company is under threat of bankruptcy at this time. I need funds to cover the company's short-term debt, even though the company's cash is running low" said Jatmiko bowed sluggishly.

"How much money you need, Anis still has savings and some productive assets. You can use it first." Rengganis offered financial assistance to Jatmiko.

Jatmiko looked into Rengganis' eyes, and Rengganis nodded his head with a smile.

"At this time I need 15 billion in cash money to pay short-term trade debt to importers who must be paid immediately. A few months ago I took a letter of credit facility at Mayban*," Jatmiko told Rengganis about the matter.

Rengganis opened her handbag then took out a blue ink bollpoint and a checkbook from inside. He wrote down the nominal 16 billion directly in the check sheet, and after signing it he handed the check to Jatmiko.

Jatmiko looked in the direction of the check, and seemed reluctant to accept. But the Rengganis forced him to accept it.

"Take it mas, this is Rengganis money not family money. Once I can control some of the family's possessions, we can use them even more" said Rengganis.

Jatmiko finally received the check and gave a deep kiss on the middle-aged woman's lips. The night was getting late, and ten o'clock Rengganis had just left Jatmiko's house escorted by Jatmiko with a car behind her.
