The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 4

Arriving at home, Hasna immediately met the grandfather who was relaxing in the living room. This hour is usually mbak Marni, the person who helps clean the house has gone home. From morning to four in the afternoon.

"Assalamu'alaikum, cake." Hasna kissed the back of Grandpa's hand.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, son." A soft smile fell on his old face.

Hasna sat down by my grandfather's side.

"What's up, son?"

"Tante Diana just called Hasna, cake." Said the shady-eyed girl.

"Mrs Diana called?" Grandpa made sure. Hasna just nodded her head in response. "Keep what about your answer, son?" Continue him.

Instantly the head of the girl parading ayu lowered her head deeply. The grandfather rubbed the head of his grandson with a lot of affection.

"Grandfather never forces anything on you son. If you don't want it, then don't do it. Grandpa just wants to see you happy. There was nothing else that grandfather had other than the little girl grandfather in this world. His laughter has always been medicine for grandfather." At once Hasna slammed into the warm embrace of the grandfather. A little light came out of his lips.

"If grandfather's granddaughter objected to Andi's family request, say son. Grandfather will always be in front as the protector of grandfather's favorite granddaughter." Continue him.

Silence enveloped for a moment, only a faint-sounding sobbing began to adorn. Hasna parsed her embrace as she felt herself calm down. The brown eye bead stared straight at the old bead before him. With a long sigh, Hasna started to open her voice.

"If you give your blessing to Hasna, God willing Hasna will accept it. But if grandfather does not meridhoi, Hasna will remain with grandfather. And will be Grandpa's little girl."

"Grandfather blesses you, son, not because of the debt of the deceased of your parents that you have to fulfill. But, grandfather believes you are in the right hands, after the responsibility of the grandfather is taken over by the son of Mr. Andi."

Grandpa Rusdi stood on the cheeks of his beloved grandson. Look at the eyes that have been soaked by tears. Then kissed the forehead of his little girl who had grown up.

"Blessed son, grandfather's prayer is always with you."

Today, Hasna cannot focus on her work. To check out some of its stores, only through video calls of its trusted employees. Even in the morning, he had not left his room. Laptop left open, but off position.

His mind was completely divided. For the opening of the restaurant was just waiting from the WO and his trusted people. The show is tomorrow.

The clock in the room shows four in the afternoon less than ten minutes. That means in ten minutes he has to go home.

According to the plan, the family of Mr. Andi arrived at the residence of Rusdi's grandfather at exactly seven p.m. Just a couple and a girl who is almost the age of Hasna. There was no one young man there.

Wrapped in a pink robe and a white headscarf, Hasna sat gracefully beside her grandfather.

"Son, introduce. This is Mr. Andi and his wife, Miss Diana." Grandpa.

Hasna placed her hands in front of her chest on Andi's pack, and kissed Diana's back. Unexpectedly, Diana pulled Hasna into her arms.

"Udah dong ma, his embrace. Replace me who wants to be acquainted with the future sister-in-law." Cute girl next to Diana's. Both hugs also broke.

"Known, I'm Nayla, brother of Rama." He held out his hand to Hasna. The girl smiled very friendly. She looks like a very jolly girl.

"Hasna's." He welcomed Nayla's hand.

"We could be bestie later. Mama said our age is not far apart." Nayla. Looks like this one girl is easily familiar with new people. He was so easy to melt the stiffness that had happened. Everyone in the living room smiled at his words.

"Udah, ah. Don't start." Tegur the mother. Nayla just smashed her lips.

"We came with good intentions that we have expressed before to Mr. Rusdi. We hope Hasna can give us the answer." Mr. Andi started this serious conversation.

"How's Hasna, what's your answer baby?" Diana's question sounded impatient.

"Accepted by mbak. My brother's handsome, even a little annoying." Sela Nayla

"Nay.." scolded the father.

"Ah, okay." Nayla's hand moved like a lip-locking motion.

"How dear?" Birthday of Diana.

Grandfather gently rubbed the back of his only grandson. Hasna inhaled a breath with all her chest before finally speaking.

"Bismillah, I accept the family proposal om and aunt. May this bond bring goodness and pleasure from Allah" he answered gently with his head bowed.

"Alhamdulillah." Said grandpa, Mr. Andi and Miss Diana in unison.

"Yeay, I finally have a sister." Nayla fussed herself with Hasna's answer.

"Hasna, here's a photo of a aunt. Not a perfect man, but with Hasna, God willing can perfect the lack of aunty." Miss Diana held out a small chocolate map in front of Hasna. Not directly answering, precisely Hasna bowed again.

"Easy to see mbak, later mbak Hasna can not sleep even." Kekeh Nayla's. The mother patted her daughter's arm.

Fortunately bringing Nayla along, the awkward atmosphere melted away instantly.

"Oh yeah baby, this is a ring that I want to wear on Hasna's ring finger. Not an engagement ring, just a sign that Hasna is receiving a bond with her aunt."

Miss Diana put the ring on Hasna's sweet finger. Looks so fitting. Next is dinner while chatting lightly.

"Enak. Is this you cooking?" Ask Diana.

"Yes aunty." Answer Hasna.

"Hasna's got Diana's culinary business. Thank God tomorrow there will be the inauguration of his first restaurant. If Mr. Andi's family can come, we'll be very happy." Grandpa said as he rubbed the head of the grandson. Seems such sincere affection.

"Well, is that right, Mr Rusdi?" Ask Mr. Andi hardly believes in the business of the prospective daughter-in-law. So did the look of Diana's surprised face.

"It just so happens, Hasna is a hobby of cooking. From childhood he liked to help his late mother when the catering business first." Grandpa also told me a little about his grandson's efforts.

Not to boast, but only to tell the prospective family of his grandson about the busyness of the grandson. So that there should be no sense of being limited when doing busyness out there.

"Surely we'll come, won't we?" Diana's mother replied a nod by her husband.

"Definitely the late mas Firman and mbak Hesti are very proud to see his daughter become a successful businessman." Praise mr Andi

"Well, I can't follow. There's a lecture until the afternoon." Nayla was disappointed.

After dinner, they talked about when the wedding would take place. And it's agreed, the show's in two months. Remember Rama will take a business trip abroad. All for the honeymoon.

All preparations will be made by the Suryanata family, because they are very familiar with the condition of Rusdi's grandfather who does not allow to make preparations for Hasna's marriage.
