The Alter Ego's Struggle to Fix Life

Tell Grandma

Due to Rena who was unable to control herself, the doctor had to postpone further examination. Doctors only do CT-scans or MRIs to rule out the possibility of symptoms experienced by patients caused by side effects of drugs or other diseases.

“Pak, we still can not diagnose what happened to Mother Rena.”

Bagas looks to nod.

“Is there no other symptoms other than a sudden change in nature?”

Bagas shakes back. “No Doctor. But there's an incident where Rena doesn't remember what's been going on all day, Doc."

"I mean, Sir?"

"Rena once asked me a day after she regained consciousness. How Rena got home. When Rena was conscious. We had a pregnancy check and bought meatballs too. But Rena said she doesn't remember that."

The female doctor was seen nodding as if she was petting out the possibility of what happened.

“Did Mother Rena have experienced traumatic events in the past?”

Bagas seemed to think for a while. “Does an incident in the past also affect Rena's psychology?”

“Of course, Sir.” The female doc nodded confidently.

Recollecting events from the past. If rethought, Rena began to change when Bagas returned from abroad. Bagas only married Rena two years ago and just went abroad. But before that, Bagas and Rena had already been told to each other if they were indeed betrothed. Rena has been raised as a foster child by Granny Bagas at the age of 16 years. At that time Granny Bagas had taught a lot about the Adijaya family which was not a careless family.

For Rena, Granny Bagas is a helper for her who is an orphan. Rena doesn't even know who her father and mother are. He was abandoned when he was one day in front of the foundation which is still under the auspices of the Adijaya Group. Rena lived in the orphanage for about 16 years. Because when he set the age of 16, Rena saved Granny Bagas who was then a pickpocket. Therefore, Grandma Bagas raised Rena to be his foster child.

Rena certainly feels indebted to Granny Bagas. By her, when Grandma Bagas asked Rena to be the wife of Bagas Adijaya. Rena has no power to refuse. It does not feel appropriate if until Rena rejects the wishes of the most meritorious person in her life.

‘Do I have to ask Grandma Rena's past?’ think Bagas.

To this day, exactly it will be heading to the second day Rena is admitted to the hospital. Bagas still hasn't told his grandmother if Rena is sick. Bagas was afraid that his Grandma would experience an impromptu tightness attack. That's because Grandma Bagas has a history of heart and lungs. In the past, when Rena passed out, Grandma Bagas also wanted to be hospitalized. Especially if Grandma Bagas knows Rena has been locked in the bathroom and knows Rena who suddenly screamed hysterically while awake?

...***...

After experiencing inner upheaval, Bagas decided to keep telling his Grandma. He knows that after all Rena is the granddaughter of her daughter-in-law who is even pregnant with her future great-grandchild. Therefore, Bagas did have to tell his Grandma about what happened with Rena.

At night when Grandma Bagas was sitting in front of the television and accompanied by some snacks of dry bread. Bagas came to visit without telling his grandmother first.

“Night, Grandma!” greet Bagas while in front of Grandma Bagas.

“Night, Bagas! Tumben you're here at night. Here sit next to Grandma!”

Granny Bagas was sitting in a long chair that was specifically designed so that Grandma Bagas did not experience pain or gout when deciding to sit there. The chair has indeed undergone modifications in such a way that it will still feel comfortable if incidentally Grandma Bagas fell asleep in the chair.

“Good, Grandma,” nods Bagas.

Bagas positioned himself beside his Grandma. Grandma Bagas who initially fell asleep had sat down while offering Bagas to sit down.

“So, what's up?” asked Grandma Bagas while rubbing Bagas' shoulder.

This is actually always something that Bagas misses a lot. His grandmother was so attentive to him. In fact, at his age who was already willing to enter the head of three. Bagas does not have a father and mother at the age of 7 years. His mother and father were involved in a violent accident that claimed their lives directly at the scene.

Bagas took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

“Nek, Bagas want to tell Grandma. But please Grandma take care of your health huh?!” Bagas stroked his Grandma's hand which had rubbed Bagas' shoulder.

Grandma Bagas seemed to be wondering with the words Bagas.

Grandma Bagas nodded once in response.

“Promise first, Grandma!” press Bagas to Granny Bagas.

Grandma Bagas nodded small.

“Nek!” whine Bagas.

Grandma Bagas smiled small. “Iya, Grandma promise. What's up?”

Bagas seemed to take another deep breath. “Nek, Rena is now in the hospital. Still not conscious. There was an incident that caused Rena like that,” bright Bagas carefully.

Grandma Bagas did not seem to give any reaction. Either because of shock or still digesting the words Bagas.

“Nek, Grandma doesn't papa, right?” Bagas slightly shook his Grandma's body.

“Ha—ya, Granny no papa kok.”

Take a little pause and then continue. “Then, how about the condition of the content?”

Small smiling bagas. “My son is that strong as it turns out, Grandma. He's fine!”

Grandma Bagas was seen exhaling a sigh of relief.

“Actually what happened to Rena?” ask Grandma Bagas.

“That's also what I want to ask Grandma.”

Grandma Bagas frowned at the sign of not understanding.

“Nek, what happens when I go to America?”

Grandma Bagas looked a little surprised before then neutralizing her face again.

“Nek, please answer me. I want to know what happened with Rena,” pinta Bagas.

“A-what happened to Rena? Grandma doesn't know.” Grandma Bagas said a little stammering. It looks like it's hiding something.

“Nek, Rena changed not like Rena I met when I was in High School. Then, Rena also had time to say if he did not remember what he had gone through after waking up from fainting at the company's birthday event. Then lastly, Rena regained her senses and shouted hysterically. Not even remembering who I am. Is there anything I have missed?”

Grandma Bagas seemed to swallow her nervous saliva. It would seem that Grandma Bagas knows something.

“Nek, please Bagas. Doctors were unable to diagnose Rena due to her unstable state. Then, I don't know what Rena's past was like either. Besides he's an orphan who was raised to be Grandma's foster child. Please be honest with Bagas, Nek.”

Grandma Bagas looks to take a deep breath. “Actives ..”
