Sri and Melani come to visit Fredi's grandfather. The old man lay weakly with his pale face. An infusion hose with a bag of blood stuck in his hand. His wrinkled skin looks bleached. Lying still like a dead man. The effects of postoperative drugs have not disappeared completely.
In this spacious VVIP room there are also Neni, Vira and Liana's grandmother. In the corner of the room sat a sweet girl. His face is similar to Levi's. Sri has never seen it. The girl smiled at Sri and waved a greeting hand. Sri replied and nodded.
While the men are outside the room. I don't know what they're talking about. Sri had seen them quarrel. But Melani takes her straight into Fredi's treatment room. Don't want to get into a fight between the men.
Sri greets Liana's grandmother. Kissing the back of his hand. Then switch to Neni. Stretching out hands to shake. But Neni refused with a snort of breath. Sri was stunned to see what Neni was doing. Doesn't she like Lucky's aunt to him? until they don't touch the skin.
"Sister-in-law" the girl greeted Sri. Then extend his hand. "I'm Geby, brother. Brother Levi's sister"
Sri smiled. Warmly welcome Geby's handshake. "I'm Sri" Geby pulled Sri to sit next to him. Sri just complies. Geby looked at him.
"Sister-in-law is so pretty" he praised with sparkling eyes. Sweet teenage girl. Sri smiled at Geby's praise.
"Thank you Geby. Geby's pretty too"
The girl smiled. Looks very adorable. Like a kid who just got a new toy. So centil.
"Mother, how's dad doing?" Melani approaches her mother-in-law. Kissing the back of her hand then embracing Liana's shoulder.
"Hikss.he's still weak" Liana nodded sadly. Holding her husband's hand tightly.
"We need to be patient, Mom. Father will soon improve" Melani hugs Liana's back.
"They've gone too far, Lani. My husband was shot and he's still not caught"
The old voice shook in tears. Emotionally seeing her husband lying weak. Melani can only calm her mother-in-law.
"Police are still investigating this, ma'am. The culprit must have been caught"
"I want them to get the right reward, Lani" hissed Liana angrily.
Sri glanced at Neni's slightly changed face hearing her mother-in-law's words just now. I don't know what he's resting on. Sri can clearly see that. But Neni soon gained control. Sit quietly next to her daughter.
"Mom should rest. Mom will be sick. Let Lani take care of dad" Melani persuades Liana. The old woman just shook her head weakly. Not to be separated from her husband. "Mother.don't do this. I need a break."
"I persuaded him, brother. But mother is still stubborn" chirped Neni ketus.
Melani looked at Neni sharply. But Neni put her shoulders together. Sri also glanced at Neni who never wanted to look at him. This woman was very impressed with the annoyance.
"Mama, don't talk like that. Grandma was sad again" her daughter reminded.
"Alaaahhh. You're a child. don't interfere!" neni jolted with a stifled voice. Mendelik berated his daughter.
Geby's attitude was very different from that of his family. This girl was very friendly and with her innocent face reprimanded her mother. While Neni, Levi and uncle Fardo, very opposite to Geby.
Melani shook her head. Very upset with the ketus that Neni threw. Invite Liana to move to the sofa. With a heavy heart Liana took off her husband's hand. According to following Melani towards the sofa.
"Lani brought food for mom. You have to eat, right?" Melani opened the package of food that she brought earlier. Offering forward Liana.
"Mother has no appetite, Lani" Liana refused.
"Don't turn me down, Mom. Come on, I'll eat first"
Melani keeps preparing food for Liana's grandmother. The old woman did not look at her husband's gurney. I hope Grandpa Fredi wakes up quickly.
"No aunt. I've eaten. I'd better be with my brother-in-law" Geby saw Sri was not bored. Sri got clumsy in the sight of this teenage girl.
"Your sister-in-law is not going anywhere. Eat first" Melani hands the plate to Geby. But the girl refused.
"You're not eating, Neni?" Melani looked at Neni who was busy playing her game.
"No, thank you. I have no taste in this state of mourning. How can you think about food? Ha?" Neni snorts a glance at the cynical Melani.
Ah.. This is not the answer Melani expected. But Neni always has. No matter who is talking to. His intonation was always impressed.
Liana's grandmother just stopped eating to hear Neni's words. But Melani quickly prevented it and smiled gently. Through the look in her eyes, Melani asked her mother-in-law not to pay attention to what Neni said earlier.
The atmosphere turned very awkward. Neni muttered indistinctly. Sri did not want to listen to Neni's murmur anymore. Move up and toward Fredi's grandfather's gurney. Unexpectedly, Fredi's grandfather began to open his eyes. Sontak Sri called Melani.
""Mommy! Grandpa is conscious!"
Soon Melani comes closer. Grandma Lianaberjalan tergopoh helped Geby. While Neni rolled his eyes lazy. Feeling annoyed with their enthusiastic attitude.
"Dad" Melani held her father-in-law's hand.
Grandpa Fredi glanced at him with my eyes. Wanted to talk but still felt weak. Liana came closer and immediately cried. Sri immediately went to press the bell for the nurse to come. And immediately came out afterwards to deliver this news to Lucky . But he didn't see Lucky. The guards standing by were getting ready. Sri told them to call Lucky.
Lucky's entourage came with a doctor and two nurses. The doctor immediately checked Fredi's grandfather's condition. Everyone looks worried. Except the Fardo family. Sri glanced at each of them. The faces show changing faces. Sri to scrunch his forehead. It was just a wonder why the three of them did not seem as sad as the others.
"How's doctor?" ask Frans worriedly.
"Mr Fredi is fine. You can be with him. But please, let Mr. Fredi rest more"
"Thank God"
Everyone can breathe freely. Doctor Lian and the nurse came out of the room. Lucky approached Sri and embraced her. Pecking the top of his wife's head.
Fredi's grandfather looked at Frans intensely. Raised his hand and called his eldest son.
"Yes, dad? You want something?"
Frans approached enthusiastically. Gripping his father's hand gently. A bit bent his body leaning forward Fredi.
Fredi's grandfather's lips twitched. No sound is heard. But Frans could hear his father's whisper. Ask him to come closer. After feeling enough, Fredi whispered something that others could not hear.
Everyone looked at them both. Confirming each other what exactly Fredi's grandfather whispered to Frans.
"Pa'd better rest first. Dad's gonna be better soon"
Frans looked at his father concerned. Uphold his body and pull his father's blanket higher covering his vulnerable body. Fredi. He closed his eyes again and looked peaceful.
Frans turned around to look at everyone one by one. The one not in this treatment room is just Aunt Vera. Maybe she prefers to take care of her husband.
"Dad's fine. We better get out. He has to take a full rest now" Frans said firmly.
Fardo snorted in annoyance. He was always numbered. Only Frans was his father's confidant. Frans and his family have been evicted from the mansion for a long time. But still Fardo could not replace Frans as leader.
But what do you want to say? His father's will cannot be denied. Moreover, Fardo only has a position as a stepson. Can only withstand the gerrymandering at heart. Fardo remained helpless.
