After getting permission from Erlan, Ailee then invited the old woman who was admitted as her grandmother, to sit at one of the tables in the corner of the room that was a bit away from the crowd.
"Mom, it's okay, yeah, we ate a plate together. Ai took a lot of it because. The spoon has also taken two, nih," Ailee explained as she pointed one spoon at the grandmother.
"Yes, Son. It's okay," the grandmother replied with a warm smile.
"Grandma wait a minute, yeah. Ai's gonna get you a drink first." The hijab girl immediately moved.
"Grandma wants a warm drink what's cold, Grandma?" ask Ailee before she passes.
"Be warm, son," replied the grandmother as she gently patted the cute-faced girl's arm that had helped her.
Ailee immediately passed from her desk, to grab a drink.
Before long, the young girl had returned with two glasses of warm water.
"Sir, water is fine, yes. Even good, right, for health," said Ailee thrust a glass of warm water to the grandmother.
The old grandmother nodded and then smiled widely, welcoming the glass of water offered by Ailee.
Ailee then sat down next to her grandmother. "Come, Grandma! We eat," asked Ailee enthusiastically, seeing that there were many side dishes on her plate.
Yes, Ailee deliberately took a meat side dish enough to be enough to eat alone with the old woman she had just heard had been insulted by both of Ailee's seniors at work.
"Son, you're the one eating. Pity that you will not be full later," rejected the grandmother who did not want to disturb the lunch of the girl next to him.
"Where can it be, Grandma. Ai deliberately took this much because Ai was willing to invite Grandma to eat together, Nek," forced Ailee.
"If Ai has to spend this much food alone, then Ai's stomach can explode, duarrr .. I see, Grandma," he said, then pursed his lips.
The old grandmother chuckled softly. "Yes, already. Grandma ate, but you ate the meat, yes. Grandma was old, had to cut down on cholesterol-containing foods" she said in a soft voice.
"Keep, what does Grandma eat?" ask Ailee.
"Just like vegetables, enough."
The young girl and the old woman then began to enjoy her lunch deliciously. Occasionally, they heard a chatter that interspersed with jokes and laughter.
"Grandmother knows no, this is the most delicious food Ai has ever eaten" Ailee said with her mouth full of food, making the old woman sitting beside Ailee stop chewing food and then look at the hijab girl with a deep gaze.
"Right, Grandma," continued Ailee, reassuring.
"Do you know where you come from, son?" asked the grandmother, full of curiosity.
"From this town too, Grandma. Precisely to the east," replied Ailee.
"What is your parents' job?" the grandmother continued, asking.
"Father's lawyer" Ailee replied.
The old woman frowned. The daughter of a lawyer, but just now the girl beside him said that lunch this time was the most delicious food he had ever eaten? I think something is awkward.
"Your mom?" The old woman stared right at Ailee's black bead.
Suddenly, the cute face that had always been smiling turned into melancholy.
"What's up, son?" insist the grandmother.
The young girl then told how Ailee's presence in the family, unacceptable to the father and his two brothers because Ailee was considered an unlucky carrier whose birth caused the mother to die.
She was raised by a maid in her home and lived with the maid in the back house.
Ailee was also treated exactly like a maid who had to do all the homework and be fed potluck.
"That's a pity for you, son." The old woman shed tears, hearing Ailee's story.
"Both of your brothers, are they working?" the grandmother asked, looking pityfully at Ailee.
"First brother, already, Grandma. He became a lecturer and his second brother is currently in one of the big hospitals in the city center," explained Ailee, making the elderly woman whose net was filled with tears, bobbing her head.
"Do you not want to demand justice on your father? Both of your sisters get the best education, while you have to work at a young age like this?" the grandmother looked back at Ailee, after wiping her tears with the tip of the hijab.
Ailee shook her head. "No, Grandma. Make what? They did not bother Ai alone, Ai was already very grateful," Ailee replied.
"Scooking?"
Ailee nodded. "Yes, Grandma. Papa, especially Ai's two sisters, like not like to see Ai happy. They're definitely gonna figure out a way to get Ai in trouble."
"That's why after Ai graduated from school, Ai decided to leave home and find a job" said Ailee, who now smiles again.
"His alhamdulillah, Nek, once Ai applied for a job at this GCC company, Ai was immediately accepted and allowed to stay in mess. So, Ai does not need to bother to find a contract," he continued with sparkling neutrals.
"HRD is a very good person, Nek," added Ailee with a wide smile.
"Oh yeah, Grandma. That Ai didn't hear wrong, Grandma was looking for Grandma's granddaughter? Did Grandma's granddaughter also work at the GCC company, Grandma? What part?" asked Ailee then who had been harboring curiosity ever since.
"Right, son, but it seems he did not join this event because from earlier grandmother was looking for nothing," replied the old woman.
"So, where's Grandma going now?" ask Ailee, pity.
The old woman nodded. "Grandma doesn't know yet, son. Grandma's house was far away, while out there it seemed like the rain was starting to fall," she replied with a sad face.
Ailee grabbed the hand of the grandmother who had been wrinkled. "Grandma don't worry, yeah. Yesterday, Ai was given permission from Mr. Erlan to invite Grandma. Grandma will stay here, same Ai. Wants, right?"
The grandmother nodded, pleased. "Don't you bother me, son?"
"Not at all, Grandma. Ai was even happy because she had a family like the others," Ailee replied as she hugged the old woman's arm, making the long-veiled woman feel moved.
He rubbed the top of Ailee's head covered in hijab, lovingly.
"Grandmother, Ai may, if you think of Grandma as Grandma Ai," pinta Ailee after releasing her arms to her arms.
The hijab-wearing girl looked at the old woman beside her, expectantly.
The grandmother nodded, saying. "Of course, son, since you're Grandma's future granddaughter-in-law," the old woman replied seriously, making Ailee frown.
"I mean Grandma?"
"Ai, come! The competition is about to begin!" the cry of one of Ailee's friends, making the girl who has a cheerful look for a moment must forget her curiosity about the words of the grandmother.
"Mom, sorry, yeah. Ai stay first, it's okay, right? Grandma can stay here, wait until Ai finishes the race" said Ailee.
