My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Obviousness

Aleta prepared fried rice and an omelet for them to have breakfast in the morning. Two glasses of hot sweet tea have also been served on the dining table. After everything was ready, she entered the room and saw her husband was ready to leave.

"Letting off in the morning, Aleta made some fried rice this morning. Breakfast first." said Aleta.

Devan approached his wife, then took her back out of the room.

"Aleta.., would go with the mas this morning, or later in the afternoon ask Asep sir to take you to the company" he said affectionately.

"It looks like Aleta in the apartment just mas, again lazy to go. At most later open the laptop only, want communication with Radit's brother. Who knows, internships can be done online."

Devan was silent at his wife's reply, then they sat down at the dinner table. Aleta takes the plate and fills the fried rice and eggs for Devan's breakfast. Then they started to enjoy breakfast together.

"Mas Devan, today want to go home to the family no?" ask Aleta.

"Mas go with Aleta. If Aleta wants to go there, then wait for the mas to come home from work, or leave first with Asep there. Later mas, just follow." said Devan while sipping tea.

"Kok coming anyway. Aleta today feels lazy everywhere mas. Plan just open the laptop continues to sleep, it feels very tired."

"Yes, that means we're in an apartment today. Grandfather also wants to go to the company today, he said something to be conveyed to Devan. Last night at the mall, Grandpa told you."

"Yes, Aleta's better at home. If there is Aleta there, grandfather must have something he closed to deliver to the mas" said Aleta while cleaning the dirty dishes where they ate.

"The gas went straight away. The door is locked from the inside when it breaks."

Aleta leads Devan to the door.

"Here, there's no need to drive it down. Just get here. Assalamualaikum." Devan gives a kiss on Aleta's forehead.

.

"Wa Alaikum greetings, be careful on the street mas." Aleta kisses her husband's hand.

After Devan entered the elevator, Aleta immediately went back inside, then locked the door. He opened the laptop and checked the email.

It turned out that many emails came in from his friends, there was Ferdinand, Sasa, and from Raditya. After replying to the email, Aleta then sent a message to Raditya via the WhatsApp web app.

"Good morning, Radit. Aleta apologizes, brother, can not return to Solo. There are still things to be done in Bandung." Aleta writes a chat with Raditya.

"Well, actually if the permit is late. Brother is not good with other employees Aleta. But this brother attach some work that you can do online yes. So even though you're in another city, you're still my big brother counting in for work." unexpectedly, Raditya immediately responded to Aleta's chat.

"Rightly Radit? Thank God, yes brother. Aleta agrees. You can send via chat on WhatsApp or send via other social media. Aleta will finish it soon."

"Yes, my sister just sent me via email. Deadline's noon, yes."

"Radit's brother, Inshaa Allah Aleta, do it immediately. Coincidentally Aleta also fits in alone in the apartment, so be ready for online work."

Raditya replied with a thumb emoticon. Aleta then goes back to the email, and it turns out Raditya has moved quickly. The email was sent to Aleta.

Devan met Cokro in his study, and had advised the secretary so that there was no interference from anyone. Even Rolland was not given the chance to go inside.

Cokro took a deep breath, then exhaled out.

"Devan.., I hope what you're going to say this afternoon won't change your attitude. Grandpa also just found out about this yesterday afternoon." said Cokro slowly while staring at his grandson.

"Yes cake, Devan will try." Devan answered his grandfather.

"Yesterday afternoon, your father just confessed to Grandpa. Actually Rengganis, it's just your foster mom, not the mom who gave birth to you."

Devan was a bit surprised by his grandfather's words, but he quickly changed his attitude. Seriously, Devan watched his grandfather speak.

"Your biological mother was named Kinara, and she died in childbirth. To be where the grave is, Grandpa doesn't know. You can ask your dad yourself Devan."

"Rolland was actually a different mother who gave birth. Your brother Rolland is the son of Rengganis and your father. For more details, you can ask yourself atmaja." continued Cokro. His face looked older than usual.

Devan and Cokro were both speechless, both immersed in their respective thoughts. But given his grandfather's age, Devan thought about the impact on his health.

"Now Mama Rengganis where the cake is, Devan wants to see him." Devan finally opened the conversation.

"Kata Atmaja, Rengganis left home last night. Today he filed for divorce with your father. Grandfather himself was confused to tell me where Devan is from."

Cokro then took his phone, and opened a photo gallery, then pointed to a photo of Rengganis' affair with Jatmiko. Devan received a phone from his grandfather, then saw some photos and video footage of him.

"It turns out that due to Atmaja's treatment of her, Rengganis eventually established a relationship with a man from her past. And it turns out that Atmaja has also known it for a long time" said Cokro who looked tired.

Seeing his grandfather's exhaustion this afternoon, Devan then restrained his grandfather from telling him everything. He'll try to figure it out for himself.

"Grandfather.., now Devan brings grandfather home huh. Grandpa breaks, quickly Devan will get all the information. Grandfather does not need to tell Devan everything." said Devan who immediately stood up, then approached Cokro.

Cokro looked at his grandson. His first two grandchildren's hands held his shoulders, and nodded their heads.

"Come cake, we're home. Devan's been 32 years, Devan's ready to face it all." Devan embraces his grandfather then takes him out of the study.

Outside the room, Rolland saw them. Then he rushed to them.

"Lho there's a grandpa in the office today. Kok this morning didn't tell Rolland the cake, so Roland could pick up." Rolland greeted them.

"Yes, this is Grandpa just stopping by. There was an appointment with colleagues, all of whom asked to be delivered here." said Cokro who still closed the truth from Rolland.

Devan coded Rolland through his eyes not to pursue the question with grandfather. Fortunately, Rolland understood it.

"Yes already, Rolland there are still other activities. Grandfather with brother Devan first yes." said Rolland smiled then farewell with his grandfather.

"Yes, please continue your activities, son. Grandpa's gonna rest at home, it's gonna take your brother."

Finally Devan and Cokro left Rolland, then both immediately down using a special elevator of the Board of Directors.
