My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Pamite

Hearing that his first wife was still alive, Atmaja could not sleep tonight. He plays with his own feelings, will he go to the city of Yogyakarta to meet and pick up Kinara, or wait for his divorce hearing with the Rengganis. Rengganis had filed for divorce with him the next day after his affair with Jatmiko was discovered to be Cokro. To shorten the time, without being read in advance, Atmaja has signed the letter.

When they finished talking together, Devan gave the address of Kinara's mother to Atmaja.

"I'm 54 years old, do I still deserve to go back after Kinara. Devan and Aleta said Kinara had not remarried until now. That means she's still my wife." Atmaja was deep in his own thoughts.

"Tok..., tok.., tok..," came three beats on the door of his room.

"Get in." she answered briefly.

"Papa.., help Rolland pa. Rolland please, papa give an explanation regarding the conversation earlier in the family room." Rolland went into Atmaja's room, and asked for his explanation.

"Sit down, son" said Atmaja.

Rolland then sat down before his papa, with a curious look, he was expecting an explanation.

"I'm sorry, Papa Rolland, your papa is selfish. What we talked about in the living room, it's all true."

"You and your brother Devan are different mama. Mama Devan was papa's first wife, whom he married before he married your mother Rengganis. But because of something certain, the family of his mother Devan has chosen to leave papa." continued Atmaja.

Rolland did not respond to what his father had said. He just listened, and seeing the second son enthusiastically listening, Atmaja finally told from the beginning until the current incident.

"I'm sorry papa Rolland, papa is indeed a coward" Atmaja said, bowing his head.

"Now Mama Rengganis where pa, honestly pa, how mas Devan feel happy. Because although Rolland as the son of Mama Rengganis, but we were never so close" Rolland said suddenly.

Atmaja approached Rolland, then he hugged him.

"False father Rolland. Papa can never be assertive, especially since Mama Devan left papa alone at that time. Papa's the one who shaped your mama into this."

"Father can't treat your mother to be a real wife. Until your mama seeks happiness outside, with her old environment. And papa hasn't tried to remind me all this time either."

Atmaja took the map in the desk drawer, then took out a brown envelope. He handed the envelope to his second son.

Rolland picked up the envelope, then read it. It turned out that the envelope contained divorce papers from her mother for her father. After putting the letter on the table, Rolland looked at his father.

"How did papa respond to his request from mama" asked Rolland to find out immediately.

After a short pause, Atmaja then answered a question from Rolland.

"The father agreed, son. Because that's all this family wants. Your grandfather Cokro has met your mother and her affair, which finally came to papa."

"Papa's not trying to maintain this relationship."

"Papa can't son. Because papa has also been thinking for a long time, to end the relationship between mama and papa. Maybe this time, it's the best way for our family."

Rolland was silent, because he also did not have a close relationship with his mother.

"Are you angry with papa son." asked Atmaja.

"No pa, Rolland was not angry. Rolland was just confused as to how to behave. Because even though Rolland is the son of Mama Rengganis, mama is also not very familiar with Rolland."

"It's Rolland, at this time mom and dad have taken care of the divorce. Papa hope, your mother's son both you and your brother still treat your mother as usual."

Atmaja was silent not answering Rolland's question.

"Papa doesn't have to close papa's heart. Rolland and brother Devan are grown pa, papa has the right to set papa's step forward. Although papa is back with brother Devan's mom, Rolland is sincerely pa."

"Thank you son. Papa is still thinking about a lot of things, or at least the business with your mama is done, the new papa will explain the misunderstanding with Kinara."

"Rolland returned to pa's room." Rolland finally parted ways to return to his own room.

Atmaja nodded his head, and finally Rolland came out of his papa's room.

*************************

Ten days since the divorce lawsuit between Rengganis and Atmaja was filed, an unattended trial between the two parties was conducted. Finally the divorce decision came out without Gono gini. But as a man who felt he had a share in the events surrounding his wife, Atmaja still gave some of his own assets to Rengganis.

Rengganis' personal belongings were taken by his men, and moved to a house in Cileungsi. As he had promised, the house had been moved in the name of Rengganis.

"Farewell ma, forgive Rolland who still chose to stay with papa." said Rolland when he and his brother met Rengganis after the last hearing.

"It's okay Rolland, Devan. I'm sorry, you can't be your good mama either."

"Sorry Devan yes ma, mama has been taking care of Devan since she left mama Kinara like her own biological son. But up until now, Devan hasn't been who you wanted to be."

The three of them hugged.

"Anis.., it's done not all your business." suddenly Jatmiko appears behind Rengganis.

Rengganis looked over and smiled.

"Devan.., Rolland.., this is Om Jatmiko. After this, we'll be married soon." Rengganis introduced Jatmiko to both of them.

Fortunately, the two of them had already gotten information about their relationship.

"Yes ma, Rolland tipped mama Om. Please do not hurt your heart, please happy mom Om." said Rolland who immediately stood up and invited Jatmiko to shake hands.

Jatmiko received the helping hand, and Devan did the same.

"Devan also sideways greetings from Aleta ya ma. If all this time, Devan's wife has been wrong on my mother, please forgive Aleta. Today he can't come here, because he's accompanying and taking care of Grandpa." Devan said.

"Don't talk like that Devan. Mama's a lot wrong with Aleta. We forgive each other. Because mama has been picked up, we immediately retreat ya." finally Rengganis say goodbye to his two sons.

They embrace, then Jatmiko embraces the crying Rengganis and takes her away.

"Sister Devan., we're still brothers." Rolland suddenly asked Devan, who surprised him.

"Hush.., you said what Rolland. Whether it's rain or storm, we're two brothers. Nothing will change. Later after our family affairs begin to be controlled, brother will take you to see mama Kinara."

Hearing his brother's words, Rolland then hugged Devan, and they finally hugged together.
