The Sweetest Feeling's

Grannies

Nania waited for a while in front of the gate when she did not see her grandmother on the terrace as usual. Then after a while he hung the package of food he carried on the fence before finally deciding to leave.

"Nenice?" Someone from the side house called.

"Yes?" Nania stopped the move.

"Are you really Nania Miss Mirna's son?" ask the woman who is about her mother's age.

"Yes, Mom."

"Aren't you here?"

"Mh …." The girl scanned the situation, afraid that suddenly her mother appeared and caught her there.

"So morning I heard a commotion from inside the house. After that Sandi left. While since last night, Miss Mirna was not there after someone came. But your grandmother is also invisible, but usually early in the morning like sunbathing."

"Mother Mom?"

"Yes. I had to call for food and no one answered. I'm afraid your grandmother is sick."

Nania's face paled.

"Please look there, I don't dare to go in for fear that your mother is mistaken."

Without thinking, the girl ran inside and entered the house.

"grandmother?" Nania broke through the unlocked door.

"Miss? It's Nia." It's Nia." He yelled.

The house looked quiet and the window curtains were still closed. But the door of the grandmother's room, which was just below the stairs, was open.

The girl ran in that direction.

"Grandmother, this …." And he gasped when he found the old woman lying on the floor in a messy room.

"Miss!!" Nania immediately approached and checked her condition.

Grandma groaned with closed eyes. His forehead was bruised and there was a bit of blood drying up. It may have come from a small wound on the surface.

"Grandma!!!" Nania shouted while shaking her vulnerable body.

***

Daryl ran through the hospital bed as soon as he got word from his man that Nania was carrying her grandmother with an ambulance.

"What's the matter Nna?" He approached her who was in the waiting room.

Nania looked up and she went a little over because of her presence in that place.

"What is my father doing here?" The girl asked. He wiped his wet eyes.

"I ... earlier .. mm .... What's wrong? What the hell's going on? Why are you here?" Daryl asked back. He had no reasonable answer about his whereabouts at the hospital.

"My grandmother …."

The door of the handling room suddenly opened and the doctor came out after conducting the examination.  

"Doctor, how's my Grandma?" Nania approached him immediately.

"Is there another family?" Doctor asked.

"There's no doctor, just me" replied Nania, who was followed by Daryl in the back.

The doctor was silent for a moment.

"Doctor, how's my Grandma?" Nania asked again.

"Your grandmother sustained a severe injury to the head. Probably due to impact when falling. Plus having a heart attack, too, so …."

"Doctor!"

"I'm sorry, your grandmother didn't survive."

Nania felt her soul as if it had been uprooted from her body. The scream in his head shouted out loud voicing rejection.

"No!" she said, who immediately ran into the room where her grandmother was.

"So grandma still exists! I know how!" She's hysterical.

"Maybe grandma too!" Nania framed the pale face of the grandmother.

"Grandmother! Don't stay with me! Who am I?" Then he shook his body.

"Grandmother! I'll be boarding soon! Grandma said wait for me! Grandma, don't be like this. I'm alone!" The girl rummaged, and her cries instantly broke when she realized the old woman was already lifeless.

"Granny!! I'm alone!" Nania fell on the floor with her hands still holding her grandmother's body.

The deaf roar broke the silence of the handling room almost that afternoon and no one was able to calm him down.

Not even Daryl who was approaching soon could stop the crying of his loss. He crouched down near Nania then pulled and held her in his arms.

***

The funeral procession was immediately carried out once the administration was complete. They take care of everything in the hospital because the time does not allow to be taken home first. And Nania resigned when Daryl set things up.

"Nia, what's going on?" Mirna's shout broke into the funeral service that afternoon.

The mother ran towards the pusara which was covered with soil and studded with flowers.

"Nania, what's going on?" repeat Mirna whose tears immediately broke as she stared at her mother's final resting place.

Nania tight-lipped.

"Mania!" Mirna almost grabs her daughter's hand, but Daryl gets in the way. The man pulls Nania back and hides her in a trap.

"Nia, what yes …."

"Mom asked Bang Sandi. What'd she do to a grandmother like this?" the girl glanced at her half-brother who was standing behind Mirna.

"I came to deliver the food and Grandma had already fallen on the floor. What did your daughter do to Grandma?" Nania half snapped.

"I came out of the house to save myself but look what you did to Grandma? I'm not enough, Mom?"

Mirna fell silent.

"Why is Grandma too Mom? Grandma is just an old man who can't do anything." Nania's cries broke again.

"No way! You don't be reckless! Don't make such a slander! You don't know …."

"I don't know, but the truth is. You have always been, not just to me, but to my grandmother!" The crying and anger mixed into one and nothing could dampen it.

The people who attended the funeral looked at each other, but they could do nothing.

"Nania, Miss Mirna. It's not good to make a storm at the funeral, pity the late. If there's a problem, you better solve it at home." The prayer leader finally ventured to open his voice.

Then the two women of different ages finally fell silent. And Nania was crying again at the same time as Daryl hugged her again.

***

"We're home?" Daryl persuaded her after a long time of silence.

The tomb area was deserted and only those who lived there. But Nania's sobbing has not disappeared completely even though the body of the grandmother has been moped up with land.

"There's no way you'd want to spend the night here, right?" said the man, making Nania look up to him.

"If it can make grandma live again, that's okay." The girl with a loud voice. And the tears flowed back from her net.

"No way." 

"Keep this out I have to what? Everything I did to get Grandma out of the house. We live together, and don't have to experience the same pressure every day. But now her grandmother died. How should I go?" The girl was crying again.

He even buried his face in Daryl's chest and crept down the side of his suit so tightly that it left a noticeable wrinkle mark there.

The man closed his eyes for a moment. This is new to him. Facing one's death is not the first because it happens several times also to family members, but not as sad as this.

He still has another family that can support and care for each other. But this girl? 

To his mother alone he dared to react loudly which is a sign that the family relationship between them may not be well established.

Nania pulled away while rubbing her face. He realized that it was just a delusion, and there was no way that death could be replaced by anything.

Then he retreated and twisted his body, deciding to leave the cemetery, and Daryl followed him from behind.

The people of Amara's Love greeted her with great sadness. Amara even decided to wait until the night when one of her employees returned, and they hugged her in turns.

"Sir Daryl banned when I told Ardi to go there with Nindy" said Amara.

They were sitting together in the middle of a store that had been closed on purpose since the afternoon. While Daryl and Galang sat side by side near the cashier.

"It's okay, brother." Nania replied in a sad tone. Sadness was clearly visible on his face.

"You can stay in my house if you want. Let's not be alone." bargain Amara to him.

"No need to." Nania refused it.

"Seriously."

"I'm okay. It's not the first time either, is it? Dad died before, but I'm fine. Now that must be so. This shop is enough." Nania tried to assert herself, although in reality, she was not that strong.

But these people kept trying to raise her heart so that she didn't feel too down.

"You're not alone, Nna. Call me if there's anything." Ardi was preparing to go home, as were the others. Time has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening and they have to rest. Just like Amara came home first.

Nania nodded her head.

"Mr ... is still here right?'' Then the young man turned to Daryl who was still sitting across the back.

He did not answer, but his face hinted at something.

"All right then." Ardi, Raka and Nindy look at each other. Then they decided to leave.
