25. Let Grandma finish it



Candra who continued to be expelled by Siska finally decided to really leave in her despair,


He certainly cannot say anything more because he is the one who makes mistakes consciously, he said,


Feeling saturated with a marriage routine that was too flat made him try to play with fire and now finally not only himself who was burned, but all, all,


Candra came out of her Grandmother-in-law's house crying, her chest was so painful because it was filled with such deep guilt and regret,


Meanwhile, Grandma Maryati who heard Candra's car in front of the house seemed to leave, now seemed to come out of the room,


There was Siska who was still crying while sitting on the floor of the house which was still made of tiles with gray, gray color,


Maryati's grandmother walked over, stretched out her hand while stroking the granddaughter's head,


"Don't cry men like her,"


Said Grandma,


Siska looked up her head, her teary eyes staring at Grandma's face,


Grandma looked down and asked Siska to stand up,


"There's still Grandma, you're not alone, don't be sad,"


Grandma said again,


"Am I so ugly, Grandma? Am I so miserable for not being able to give a child to deserve to be treated like this?"


Siska roared, vaporizing all that she felt and thought,


Grandma of course shook her head, though,


"No, you're so beautiful and kind, there's no woman as good and beautiful as you as Grandma knows, don't get discouraged just because of bad men like Candra,"


Grandma said as she led Siska into the room,


"The woman has children, she's fertile, unlike me, isn't she?"


Siska muttered again,


Grandma sighed,


"Why are you jealous of a woman who makes her womb cheap?"


Grandma sat Siska on her bed, and told her to lie down,


Said Grandma while stroking the head of her favorite grandson,


Siska who heard Grandma's words could only cry on her bed, she said,


Imagining Grandma would call Siska's sisters home and come to the Candra family to hold her accountable it felt like Siska had been so devastated,


Yes destroyed, as now the fate of his household who no longer knows how, will,


The rain out there is now beginning to subside, and once dawn comes, it seems the rain has finally subsided,


Grandma boiled water for her to brew her own tea, as usual, she turned on the TV to watch the news,


"A neighbor from the location where the skeleton was found testified recently, after police announced the victim was identified as Intan Larasati who was reported missing in 1977, and the family had asked his former employer to be investigated but to this day there was no trace of him,"


Looks like the female news anchor who spoke, then...


"Witnesses were reportedly neighbors as well as employers of domestic assistants who used to be quite close to the victim, unfortunately he did not want to attend for interviews in the studio for health reasons,"


The male news bearer changed who spoke,


The whistling sound of kettles from the boiling water rang out, Maryati with a mysterious smile now appeared to turn off the stove,


His hand which was filled with wrinkles seemed to reach for the handle kettles and then immediately he poured into a glass that he had prepared one of his favorite tea bags,


"We will present our sources this morning to discuss this horrendous case, the case which for twenty years has passed and expired, most likely the perpetrator could not be arrested and in law for what he had done,"


The male news bearer spoke again, again,


His voice intermittent with the sound of a teaspoon that several times hit the glass wall because Grandma stirred her tea,


Maryati's grandmother smiled again, a mysterious smile,


In the eye pelup still clear his shadow as he pierced Intan many times, still ringing his groaning voice enduring the pain, and even the rancid aroma of his blood flowing from the body that her husband had just enjoyed.


"Nature also knows you don't need to be defended, so I don't need to be punished for destroying a demoness like you."


Maryati Granny muttered with a smile, then...


"Womens, is that the name of the new shetan woman?"


Granny murmured anyway, who then chuckled.
