***Accommodity Grandpa.
The journey taken was tiring, but because he was going to meet his brother made Aji Salim excited.that day was the wedding day of his nephew named Ema ,the daughter of Aji Salim's older brother, Aji Telo.
Aji Salim is Airin's grandfather, he was one of the prominent figures in his village, had been a teacher and then retired and was appointed to the council. and after being inactive, he was a teacher,he prefers to live a simple life with his children and grandchildren, although there are still many who ask him to return to politics, but he wisely said "there are still many great and potential young people,I can only give advice and advice".
He also always advises his children and daughter-in-law who works in the Government "You are PNS, the name PNS yes works for the community, being a servant of the Society.Never show arrogance and arrogance towards the people, do not ever show arrogance and arrogance towards the people,because the PNS is paid by the people, there can be no PNS whose life is luxurious, while the people who pay him their lives mediocre.surely they are the boss and you are his servant". those words are what make Airin's parents, who although his profession can be said to be charming and can build a luxury house, but they choose a simple life, they realize, they must be an example for the community.
Arriving at Wera, the whole family attended the event with hikmad and rejoiced. Aji Salim who somehow on that day felt very moved and sad, nothing, exactly 3 months ago, his oldest brother named Aji Ahmad was called to face Allah. and at the family event today, the figure of his brother was not present.until the time came back to Bima, Aji Salim hugged his brother Aji Telo lamaaa.when he got into the car, one of his children asked"why did Aji so long ago?". he replied" Aji was greeting all the aji friends here and aji felt sorry for your old man, Haji had to leave Aji Telomu alone".there was no inkling of any of those words, they then continued their journey home safely until home at exactly 10 p.m.
The next day, Aji Salim looks not at home, he went around meeting the people in his village.he went to the market, went to surau, to the village office, he went to the village,even met all his friends and fellow teachers until the afternoon arrived, he went home with brought souvenirs for his youngest son Mia.
The night before. after praying Isya, Aji Salim called his youngest daughter Mia to massage her back.His body suddenly had a fever, asking Mia to give him medicine. The wife of Umi Salamah also sat next to her. All her children were contacted, they all gathered at her house. Aji Salim was never seriously ill, therefore his children have not been too worried, but.The eldest daughter in Jakarta began to worry after being informed.he remembered with the message of his daughter Airin ,which is now in the pesantren.
the night Aji Salim's condition worsened, the heat of his body did not go down.His children took the initiative to take him to the nearest Hospital. Mala mama Airin immediately called her husband in Batam to ask permission to return to Bima to visit his father. The husband also allowed and booked a ticket home with his wife. Her father-in-law is the person she most admires and respects because of that, she was also worried to hear the news of her pain in-laws.
At 03 am.Aji Salim breathed his last in the hospital.this news made the residents uproar, because only yesterday afternoon saw Aji Salim fresh fit. almost all residents in the neighborhood where he lived shed tears and mourned.no more respected role models in their environment.Airin who heard this news from his mother cried sad in his family, unfortunately he could not go home, he could not go home, I have to face the midterm exam.
