My Soul in Grandpa's Hands
Uneasily



Rengganis hurriedly walked into the house of the Cokro family, and headed straight for his room. Seeing his son-in-law coming, Cokro waited in the living room. Bambang has been handed over to the Bandung police, because Kobra has admitted that he received orders from Bambang.


"Puji.., call Atmaja and Rengganis to go to the living room now." Cokro orders Puji to call his son and daughter-in-law.


"Good Lord." Praise then towards the door of Atmaja and Rengganis room.


"Tok..., tok.., tok..," Praise knocked three times the door of Atmaja's room.


Atmaja seemed to open the door.


"Master and Madam, this time the big master is waiting in the living room" Puji said telling the intention of his arrival.


"Yes." said Atmaja while closing the door to his room.


Not long after, Atmaja and Rengganis had already arrived at the living room. They both sat in front of Cokro.


"Atma, Anis, I hope you both know what I mean to collect you right now." Cokro started the conversation.


Atmaja and Rengganis just looked into his father's eyes.


"Now Anis, please answer. Where are you from, in a new home a lot of problems. But you're out." Cokro asked Rengganis.


"Anis told Atma long before there was anything yesterday." Rengganis answered Cokro's question.


"Don't blame papa, your brother Bambang last night has been arrested, and this morning has been taken by the police. Papa has forgotten what happened before, but what is really up until now papa does not know. Why is your family still trying to piss me off" said Cokro.


Rengganis was somewhat shocked, hearing that his brother Bambang had been arrested and was currently in the police. She tried to look towards Atmaja, but her husband seemed to know before.


"I'm sorry pa, Anis has not been in communication with Mas Bambang for a long time. Last met when we introduced Aleta to all the family members in Bandung." Rengganis answered questions from Cokro.


Rengganis tried to get Atmaja to defend him, but Atmaja just kept silent.


"So Anis. If anything happens to your brother Bambang, I hope you never blame papa. Bambang only received the impact of what he had done in the past."


"Yes pa." replied Rengganis briefly.


"And I hope you can be a good mother to your children. Stay home, don't go anywhere."


"And you, Atmaja, be a good parent to your child. Papa will rest, and I hope you both hear all the words you just said." continued Cokro, who then got up from his seat and walked into the room.


Rengganis was silent and looked dreamy. Atmaja then tried to embrace his wife, then took her back into the room.

Devan at 15:00 was ready to go home. Rolland tried to block his brother's intentions because at 16:00, Rolland had made an appointment with a prospective partner.


"Rolland's moving aside, brother's coming home. Poor Aleta there's no friend at home."


"Here, Rolland had already contacted Tata. He told me that 1pm was at home. Brother went home, also Aleta just out the same way Tata. Soon to be home." Rolland still won't let Devan go home first.


Devan sat back on the couch. Then he made a phone call to his wife.


"Assalamualaikum mas, what's wrong."


"Wa Alaikum greetings, where is Aleta now?"


"Tata was taken out. Now we're just heading to the ITB campus. Tata wants to grab a book at his friend's place, then wants to find meatballs. Mas Devan is where." Aleta asked back.


"Mas thinks Aleta's home. I want to rush home. But yeah, because it's out, it means you're home a little later, too."


"Okay, say the same Tata. Don't play with guys. Remember Aleta is married."


"Oh my God. Aleta promise won't fuck around. Bye mas Devan.., Assalamualaikum," Aleta pamit first.


"Bye.wa Alaikum salam." said Devan.


"Ha.ha.ha..., Bucin Bucin." Rolland laughed out loud at his brother's behavior.


"Shut up, little boy. So marry Jenny immediately." Devan replied annoyed.


"Huh.., ha.ha.ha.., what is the marriage relationship with Bucin," Rolland became increasingly disoriented.


Devan was silent, even pretending to close his eyes on the sofa.

Aleta and Tata left together with Asep sir. They actually intend to ride the car online, but Asep has been ordered Cokro to take Aleta's departure anywhere. After arriving at the first destination, Asep waited in the car.


"Ta .., your friend's boarding house is special for girls or a combination of boys and girls." asked Aleta.


"Don't worry Aleta, this is a special lady's boarding. But you don't know too, if later there is a guy who plays too." replied Tata while holding Aleta's hand.


"I don't want to fuss with Devan Ta, I know how he is. Jealous of mercy."


"He.he.he.., so immediately given Aleta's child. I'm sure, with the presence of your child, the Possessive nature of the same jealousy will be reduced a lot."


"He.he.., but I'm not KB either. But I don't know yet, why, I haven't been pregnant until now." Aleta suddenly worried about her own condition.


Seeing Aleta's worries, Tata became unwell.


"Ah., that's probably because you guys still split up a lot. Nha.., these are you guys together often. Try me later to go to the doctor, if checked it turns out not pregnant as well. Later join the Pregnant Program." said Tata give advice.


"Yes, yes, too. But I didn't say that Devan used to be Ta, worried that later the problem turns out to be in me." said Aleta who immediately seemed sad.


Fortunately they have arrived at the terrace of his friend Tata's boarding house. Tata immediately took Aleta and invited her directly into the boarding house.


"You sit here first yeah, I'll find my friend first." Tata asked Aleta to sit in the guest seat of the boarding house, she wanted to find her friend first.


"Okay, don't you pa me." Aleta sat down on the chair. Then he took the magazine under the table and read it.


"Excuse me, meet Desi there." Suddenly there was a male guest looking for Desi. Because he felt that he was not the one who was boarding there, Aleta remained indifferent to reading magazines.


"Sir, I'm sorry for the nanya. Was Desi at home huh," the man immediately patted Aleta on the shoulder.


Aleta with a fierce gaze immediately looked at the man.


"I don't know. Ask the same thing that cost here. We are both guests "he said with a glare.


The man laughed at Aleta's expression.


"Sorry, I think it's boarding here too. Then I'll sit here too, waiting for the boarding here to come out." the man sat in front of Aleta.


Aleta remained with her initial focus on reading magazines. He remained silent, not inviting the man sitting in front of him to speak. While the man only looked at Aleta while smiling to himself.
