The Love Story of Two Countries

Daniel became a loyal listener, where the grandmother was returning to her past.

'' You know my granddaughter? your mother became a very jolly girl during her work with grandma, she taught me everything until the grandma knew God.'' Obviously the grandmother

'' Your mother was a Muslim until a year later your dady asked the grandma to marry her and your dady was very obedient to your mother but after your birth and at your very young age your mother was often sickayakan.'' Grandma rubbed the tears that had already flowed on both of her cheeks.

'' Your mother was hurt when your Dady betrayed her but your mother just hugged her herself without sharing her story. Until at your age over a year he left grandma. Because of that time slump to the point that the grandma doesn't remember you.'' Grandma's crying broke.

'' I'm sorry my dear grandma.'' Sobbing. '' until finally you brought your dady and lived with the woman. '' Daniel hugged his grandmother tightly.

'' Grandma is not wrong but I am grateful that I finally know all, do not feel guilty grandma I never hate you all thanks to you I exist.'' Said Daniel.

The night is getting late, Daniel invites his grandmother to rest because tomorrow he wants to go to his mother's grave.

In Daniel's room just rolled around in bed because he could not close his eyes, he forced himself to get up and go to the guest room where his father was.

Tok tok tok tok

'' Dad is Dady asleep??'' Slow down Daniel.

'' Don't want to come in yet! Daniel came in and sat down on the guest room couch

'' Dad, does anyone want Dad to clear up to daniel??

Daniel's father momentarily fell silent composing the words to be spoken.

'' Son, I'm sorry Dady, if Dady wasn't trapped in the first place maybe this incident would never have existed. As long as Mr. Robert explained his confession without them noticing Mrs Emely listening from behind the slightly open door.

'' Son will you forgive Dady's mistake, Dady has divorced the woman, hopefully nothing will bother you in the future.

'' I don't want to have to forgive all your mistakes Dad.

'' Dady knows this is hard, and Dady is still waiting for forgiveness from your grandma Son.

Ms. Emely shed her tears, it turns out that all this time her son was suffering in his country there.

'' Could Dad come with you tomorrow??

………

In the morning all are ready to go to the public cemetery in the central Jakarta area.

The car stopped on the side of the road but they came out and walked towards the tomb which was always neatly taken care of.

" Mom, I'm sorry Daniel just visited mom's grave." Daniel sobbed in the navel of his birth mother. For an hour they were at the place, the grandma approached the tomb janitor.

" Sir, how are you? has anyone besides me been visiting my daughter-in-law's grave often??

'' Hmm...'' The tomb janitor seemed hesitant to say his eyes glanced at Mr. Robert.

'' Don't be afraid, just say it.'' Say Mrs Emely

'' Yes lady every year Mr. Robert always makes a pilgrimage here.

'' Deg's.... Mrs Emely was surprised that her son had never forgotten his late wife.

Not long after they left the place, Mrs Emely gave some money to the tomb janitor.

Arriving at home...

'' Mom, I'm sorry for not being able to linger here yet there is a call from the assistant that requires me to return as soon as possible.

'' Hmmm.'' Mrs Emely just cleared her throat to answer her son's words.

Actually, he did not have the heart to silence his son too long because of the venomous woman.

But after hearing that his son was divorced, he also collapsed.

'' Be careful on the journey.

In a moment, Master Robert immediately rested at the foot of the grandma.

'' Wake up son, we start all over again.'' Say Mrs Emely.
