' trrttt' vibrate coupled with the ringing of the mobile phone is heard.

Bian who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes facing the window immediately turned to the flat object on the table on his right side.

'' yes, Bik ? '' welcome Bian on a wireless connection from his household assistant.

'' mister, Oma mister.'' Susan's voice sounded panicked.

Sontak Bian standing up. The face that had been moody slowly appeared a stroke of anxiety when hearing Susan's speech .

After the call ended, Bian rushed to take Mr. Tole home .

Along the way, Bian seemed so agitated.

Not finished thinking about Nana, now he is overwhelmed with worries about the condition of his omana.

Mr. Tole also drove the vehicle faster than usual. And once they arrive, they do not go home but go to the hospital .

Arriving at the hospital, Natasya was standing at the door of one of the VIP rooms .

Bian stopped his steps, turning his legs to face his mother.

After months of unseen eyes, he finally looked back into the eyes of the mother.

Bian took a step forward, both of his hands raised and grabbed onto Natasya's body.

'' Bian Natasha shed tears in her son's arms.

Bian stroked his back. Kiss Natasya's head. Both eyes look red.

However, he was upset and disappointed in Oma and his mother, in fact he did not feel at home for a long time ignoring them. Especially to hate them. Regardless of what they have done to her, especially to her. Nana.

Bian took off his embrace, then without a word he invited Natasha in by embracing his shoulder.

As soon as she entered the room, Susan walked over and greeted.

'' last night, Oma said she wasn't feeling well.

I want to ngabarin mister, but it's forbidden.

He said it would be better if you slept.

But all night Oma slept not well.

Rich restless . Even to ngigau.

Well, this morning when I want to wake up, oma did not open my eyes. I am scared uda.

But as soon as I called many times finally Oma opened her eyes for a while but it was closed again.

He said his body was limp.

It was slow too.

So I just called the hospital asking for an ambulance.

Once at the hospital Oma was immediately taken to the ER. Enter the observation room for a heart examination.

After that' brought to the lab also to draw blood.

Said the officer who was nanganin in the ER earlier, if the result uda out, the family will be called to meet the doctor.

This is Oma again fitted with oxygen.

You see, Oma is rich in difficulty breathing that is '' Susan ends the story by shifting her body so that Natasha and Bian can see clearly Elisabeth who is lying in the bed with two nurses who are installing oxygen hoses.

The mother and son walked slowly to the bed.

'' makasi, sus'' said Natasya to the two nurses who were willing to leave after making sure their work was done well.

Natasya and Bian stood beside Elisabeth whose eyes were tightly closed.

Natasya grabbed the fingers whose back was punctured by the infusion tube.

Her tears had not stopped flowing with occasional sounds. Natasya leaned over, dropping her body over Elisabeth's body.

He could feel the mother's breath sounding rude and faltering.

'' I'm sorry, Natasya whispered, hoping Elisabeth could still hear the apology she should have done long ago.

The old saying is always ignored.

Regrets come too late. If not, then no one will make a mistake. And there will be no learning.

But that doesn't mean doing wrong and regret is a good thing .

It's just like it's become a law of nature. Man with his selfishness.

Time is running so slow.

The night has come two hours ago. Bian approached the mother who was sitting beside Elisabeth while holding the old fingers.

'' I'm out for a minute, yes mi. We all haven't eaten before, have we? '' said Bian while stroking his mother's shoulder.

Natasha raised her head slightly and nodded .

He was also very hungry.

Because since this afternoon he has been in the hospital and has not filled his stomach with anything but water.

Bian left the mother who was still waiting for her Oma to open her eyes. With Susan who also did not go anywhere for a second.

After getting what he was looking for, Bian immediately returned .

' srak ' Bian put food wrappers on the table.

Natasha and Susan were standing on both sides of Elisabeth.

Bian approached, his smile flashing to see the Oma sitting with her eyes open.

'' Oma Bian hugged the boneless body tightly.

'' mister. mister. slowly, the mystery Susan shook her arm.

Bian who noticed it immediately let go of his embrace.

'' Su-susan called Elisabeth to the woman who had been helping and taking good care of her.

Susan approached, with a little head leaning on Elisabeth.

'' Su-susan, please leave us for a moment Elisabeth said with the rest of her energy.

Susan nodded then stepped out as the master had asked.

After Susan's death, Elisabeth was seen trying to open the oxygen that surrounds the mouth and nose area.

'' ma.. '' Natasya tried to prevent it by holding Elisabeth's hand which was already hanging.

' deg ' Elisabeth looked at him in disbelief.

After decades, he finally heard the name he so longed for coming out of his daughter's mouth.

Elisabeth then continued to open the oxygen until it was released.

At that moment, he felt his breath become heavy.

But then he can be more free to talk and his voice will be more clearly heard.

'' say, again.'' Elisabeth stared fixedly at Natasya's eyes that did not stop shedding tears.

'' mamah Natasya sounded hoarse because her crying became more so.

Elisabeth then held her arm and pulled it.Natasya who knew the meaning was approaching.

The mother and son hugged each other.

The atmosphere enveloped the entire room.

Samar heard the voices of two people who took turns apologizing many times.

A few moments passed and both of them seemed calmer.

Bian then called Susan back in.

He also handed over a packet of food that Susan immediately received while saying thank you.

But previously Bian had already given the same food wrapper to Natasya.

While Natasya and Susan were filling their stomachs, Elisabeth appeared to be being examined for her condition by a nurse called Bian just a moment ago.

And Bian chose to go out to swab a few cigarettes.

He stood on the emergency stairs while enjoying his chuckle.

Bian sighed. Worry slowly shrank to see the condition of Elisabeth who had opened her eyes and was able to sit.

Shortly after, she returned to the room where Elisabeth was being treated.

Upon entering the room, he saw Susan throwing food wrappers in the bathroom door-side trash can.

Susan and Natasha had finished eating.

Bian walked to the bed and sat on the edge.

Two women were also staring at him.

And simultaneously they carved smiles on each other's faces.

'' Nana has given birth said Bian .

Unlike Bian who still maintains his smile. Natasya and Elisabeth's smiles just decayed .

Their hearts felt like they were filled with rumbling .

Then it was like something was suddenly poking slowly, along with the memory of their treatment of Nana.

The more you feel pressing inward, the more pain is felt and raining in there.

Elisabeth and Natasha were both unable to turn away from Bian .

How could Bian possibly say that with such a calm expression ?

Bian then pulled out his phone, opening up the Vidio he got from Han. Then he turned around and showed it to them.

Natasya and Elisabeth's eyes opened wide to see a figure writhing so adorable .

They're flabbergasted. Can't say anything .

The smile that had been receding slowly rose again when he heard the sound of crying that was so soul-shaking.

If in front of them, of course it has been lifted and carried to be cheered.

Natasya's lips twitched . His fingers lifted to wipe the screen that was showing his innocent face.

'' he's a boy '' terka Natasya who pulled his hand and put it on his lips to smother his own mouth.

It looked at Bian who nodded in confirming. Suddenly his crying spilled .

And so did Elisabeth.

It even took over holding the phone to see again more clearly .

He shakes in disbelief. That great-grandson.

They should be gathered to welcome the arrival of a family member who has just been born. Not gathered around him and could only stare at the little creature without being able to touch it for real.

He pressed his chest that felt tight. Makes him unable to speak .

" bi.. Bians.. " Elisabeth put down the phone that was still on, looked at Bian and asked him to come closer.

Slightly bowing, Bian was now at a very close distance to his Omanya face.

" sorry Oma .. forgive Oma, my dear ... '' Elisabeth was stupefied by the sobs that struck.

'' take them home, Bian.. ''

Bian shakes. He wiped his tears and tried to hold it by taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly.

'' I can't force it, Oma.

Nana doesn't want to go home. Nope. Not not want. But I don't want to go home yet ''

'' ... '' Elisabeth asked through the eyes.

Why ? is it because of us ? Elisabeth felt the pain in her heart ache.

A few minutes filled with silence.

Bian put his phone back in his pocket.

While Natasya helps the mother to lie down .

" don't you hate us, Bian ? '' natasya asked after pulling the blanket to the chest of Elisabeth .

He looked at Bian whose face looked as moist as his and Elisabeth's.

'' I can't hate you guys. Because I love you guys so much . Just like I love Nana.

So there's no reason I should choose one of you ''

'' ... ''

'' everything is my fault.

When you can't accept Nana, all I do is ask her to be patient and persevere.

Indirectly, I have forced her to accept all your treatment .

So even when Nana finally gave up and could not survive because you were always among us.

He decided to leave and I couldn't do anything to prevent it.

I-I really don't know what to do when I'm in your midst ''

Natasya and Elisabeth looked at each other for a moment, then both looked back at Bian.

'' her departure was due to lack of attention and to my sensitivity to her feelings.

Even my wife is pregnant I don't know ''

'' ... ''

'' as I have done with you.

I'm not angry and wait until you realize it yourself.

And I'm gonna do the same thing to Nana.

I won't be mad. Especially forcing him to come back . Even though I miss him so much and want to see my son.

I will wait for him in silence.

As you can see how I've been a few months with you.

Although I don't know for sure, but I'm sure there will come a time when he comes home.

I just need to be patient to welcome that day ''

Once again the two women in front of him cried.

Natasha looked down with her back shaking.

Elisabeth closed her eyes strong .

Both of Bian's hands were raised.

One landed on Elisabeth's back and the other held Natasya's fingers.

'' Bian. forgive Oma. also tell Nana that Oma is truly sorry ..' said Elisabeth on the sidelines of her sobs.

'' yes, Oma Bian smiled with tears falling back.

There's nothing to be sorry about anymore. And there's nothing to forgive anymore. Bian gave everything. If this is what he has to live, then he will accept it with a chest field.

Next morning.

Natasya woke up after last night sleeping in a sitting position next to the bed.

Susan was wiping Elisabeth's face with a cloth soaked in warm water.

Elisabeth turned her head and smiled with eyes that looked heavy to open.

Just like who also felt if both eyes must be swollen because last night too many tears .

'' morning, Natasha stood up and landed a kiss on Elisabeth's cheek.

He asked Susan to stop .

Then he took over what Susan was working on.

And continued by feeding Elisabeth a meal.

The second interaction was very warm. It's not like the days of yesterday were full of debate.

After finishing taking care of the needs and needs of the morning of the mother, Natasya went to go to the bathroom . He needs water to refresh himself.

Just as Natasya came out of the bathroom, Bian was seen just coming in . He went out to buy breakfast in the hospital cafeteria.

Both looked at the bed, at Elisabeth who was helped by Susan to lie down.

Susan then walked over to the mother and son who were still glued to where they stood.

'' Oma said her eyes were heavy. So Oma went to sleep again said Susan .

Bian and Natasha nodded in understanding.

In order not to cause noise that can interfere with the comfort of Elisabeth's sleep, the two decided to leave the room to get fresh air.

They decided to go around waiting for the doctor to visit.

Five minutes before eight o'clock, the two turned their steps to return to the room.

Only a few seconds after entering the room. The door is back open. Natasha and Bian, who had not been able to get to Elisabeth, turned their heads and immediately welcomed the entrance of the doctor and several people in white clothes and two nurses in uniform who followed behind.

'' good morning, Lady Elisabeth, greet the doctor who Elisabeth still seems to be asleep.

Elisabeth budging.

Indeed, when left with Susan earlier, he said his eyes were not satisfied closed. That's why he went back to sleep.

'' Madam '' The doctor raised the volume of her voice slightly.

Elisabeth was still flinching.

The doctor advanced until he reached the bedside to take a closer look at his patient's condition.

Those who pay attention to what the doctor is doing look at each other.

After putting the fingertips under Elisabeth's right jaw, the doctor turned around.

'' did no one take care of him ? ''

Susan looked excited. He did not pay much attention to the clock . But he confirmed that he had not long ago examined Elizabeth's condition and confidently said the master was still breathing .

'' he was no longer breathing. His pulse was no more ''

Natasya flinched violently. His eyes were wide open and tears were flowing in an instant .

Half-running he approached the bed and directly held Elisabeth's shoulder.

He shook and it turned out that the body was gone. Not a single limb responded and moved.

A sign that there is no longer a body that occupies that body.

'' ma'am. mah. mama.. '' Natasha is starting to get hysterical.

Bian who saw the mother began to lose control was approaching and immediately embraced him.

He took the body away to make room for the doctors and nurses to examine Elisabeth.

Doctor shakes .

'' madam Elisabeth is dead ''

Natasya's body squeezed, she almost collapsed but Bian held her back so as not to fall.

* * *

Not many people attended Elisabeth's funeral.

Because they do not have relatives or family in Jakarta.

Only a few close people and acquaintances were seen coming and taking him to his final resting place.

After all the processions are done, one by one they go home.

Only Bian and Natasya were still at home at the cemetery.

Standing while staring at the gravestone in the form of wood engraved name, date of birth and time of death.

'' the greatest love in the world is the love of parents for their children.

Therefore, parents are willing and able to do anything for their children.

Not infrequently excessive love that makes the child feel uncomfortable . Some even take away the happiness of the child himself.

That's because what they think is good they will want for the child.

That's what happened to us, Bian.

Your oma just loves me too much.

But his love only curbed my freedom .

He cannot accept my life choices.

And it ends with each one of us who won't budge.

Same with what Mom did to you.

But believe me, my mother has no intention of destroying your household at all.

Mami just wants her to be the wife you deserve. Because mom wants the best for you.

But it turns out that mom's way was wrong. And now you have to accept the consequences.

If given a chance, mommy will make up for all the mama's mistakes with Nana.

So, try to get him back Bian.

Take your wife and child home...

Tell her that mom will never appear in front of her again . Especially to disturb your marriage.

Mami is really sorry...

Mami will apologize if she needs to kneel as long as she wants to go home and come back with you ''

'' there's no need to go that way, mi.

Let's just wait until he can make peace with his heart and his feelings.

He knows when to go back home.

Because it will be useless if I persuade him that he is still unable to forgive me ''
