Grandma Han, the Great Mistress, was lying weakly on the intensive care bed, accompanied by Emma who was already allowed to sit by her side after waiting for several hours. The cold room with the smell of disinfectant was becoming increasingly quiet, when the grandmother was unable to open her eyes which were getting weaker.
"Ne... Nek....," called Emma softly, while holding her hand that already had many wrinkles. However, the one getting the call was unable to answer, in fact, still not in a conscious state. Emma's tears glistened, spilled from the puddle of her fertilizer that was not able to hold. His heart ached and was crushed to see the state of his grandmother who was already on the verge of death.
K-Group's private hospital bears witness to Mrs Han's struggle against a grave illness that is now nearing her death. Emma felt her heart break, as she looked at the pale and frail face of her grandmother. His entire body looked fragile and like a bone wrapped in skin only. The last time Emma met Grandma, though, she still looked fit. For some reason, his condition became drastically reduced to the point that it had to be in a critical state like this. The attack of a deadly disease, late-stage breast cancer, completely rendered Madame Han helpless.
"Huhoo... Huhu..," Emma's crying voice sounded heartbreaking, filling the silence of the room that felt stifling to the chest.
Luke was not even with them, because he still had to carry out his duties. The discovery of two bodies of his employees (jail officials) and two unidentified bodies that were on the banks of the Ciliwung times, drained his attention. Lukas is also currently taking care of flash flood refugees who are around the K-Group region. Emma's husband is not used to sitting on his hands in the event of a natural disaster. I don't know, this time, what to do. According to Roy, Luke will build a special channel so that the flood that is flooded, can immediately recede instantly.
The crack of the wall clock resounded with a hollow rhythm. Emma felt the silence add pressure to her chest which was already filled with worry.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened slowly. A doctor stood in the doorway, then went inside and gently patted Emma's slightly haggard shoulder.
"Madam, be patient" said the gentle doctor, pulling up a chair to sit nearby.
"Hello," said Emma, trying to be polite. The doctor narrowed his eyes, indicating that he was smiling, because, with his lips blocked by the medical mask, Emma could not see him.
"Are you the doctor who took care of Grandma?" ask Emma then. The doctor nodded.
"Yes, meet me Doctor Lina" said the gentle doctor. "I'm sorry, but I have to say this, even with a heavy heart," said Doctor Lina softly.
Emma felt something stabbing her heart when Doctor Lina said that. The feeling is not good, what is it?
"Please, Doctor," said Emma softly. His head bowed, he could not help his expression of sadness.
"Based on our observation, it seems that the development of Grandma Han's condition is insignificant. I'm sorry, I have to tell you that his life won't be long. Although we have done everything we can, her body is no longer able to hold on," Doctor Lina said in a soft but firm voice.
Emma jerks. Her tears can no longer be blocked. "You mean, Grandma's about to die, Doctor?" asked Emma to try to confirm.
"Yes, Right, Madam. I'm sorry" said Doctor Lina. She clasped Emma's hand, trying to calm her down. "Doctor.... I should how?" asked Emma with a trembling voice.
"Right now, the best we can do is give comfort and attention to Grandma Han," Lina said. "The treatment team will continue to monitor her condition and ensure that Grandma does not feel excessive pain or difficulty" the doctor said with confidence.
Emma nodded slowly, trying to calm herself down and focusing her attention on Doctor Lina's words.
"Thank you for your cooperation and concern, Emma," said Lina. "We'll do everything we can to keep Grandma Han comfortable and make sure that she doesn't feel alone. If there is any special need or last request from Grandma Han, please let us know."
Emma nodded, realizing that she had an important role in providing presence and support to Granny Han.
"Then I say yes" said Doctor Lina leaving Emma. He wanted to make room for her to be with Grandma Han in these limited moments. Emma tried to calm herself down, and with gentleness, she approached Grandma Han, holding her hand lovingly.
"Grandmother, I'm here for you" whispered Emma in a soft voice. "Me and Luke will give you infinite comfort and love. Don't worry, Grandma. We'll take good care of you" Emma whispered in a warm voice.
Shortly afterwards, Luke appears to have entered the room at a slow pace. Her tears are just like Emma's. When she saw her grandmother's helpless condition.
"Grandmother..," she called out softly, while looking towards Granny Han with an expression full of sadness and fatigue. He walked over to the bed, putting his soft hand on Grandma Han's fragile-lying hand.
"My grandmother" whispered Luke in a soft voice. "I'm here, with you. Sorry, I'm late."
Emma's cry grew louder, seeing how much love Luke had for his Grandmother. They are the only family left in the Kim Clan, after Lady Han married Luke's grandfather, decades ago. Their togetherness that had been separated, finally reunited, with a very strong relationship. They have gone through the joys and sorrows together. However, this time, Luke and the Grandmother are faced with an inevitable separation.
Time was slow in the room, and an atmosphere of warmth and love was present between the two generations that strengthened each other. Despite being in a grieving situation, they tried to stick to the power of their love and presence for Granny Han.
That night, Emma and Luke sit next to Grandma Han's bed that is getting weaker. They told me about the good memories with Grandma, reminiscing about the happy moments they had together. They share laughter and tears, strengthening each other in the face of difficult times.
In the end, Grandma opened her eyes slowly. Though unable to speak, however, he could still feel the presence of Luke and Emma breaking the silence in his room.
"Grandmother..," call them enthusiastically. Grandma Han blinked her eyes, responding to their call with a simple gesture. Luke and Emma clasped each other, sharing their joy as grandmother was able to open her eyes.
