Larina had just gotten out of her seat, but a small child walked into the store with a clear face. He gave a banknote worth 1,000 rupiah.

"Sister, what can I buy with this money? I'm hungry."

Larina.

"Take the money, yeah. You wait here."

Larina returned with a pack of rice and a bottle of water.

"It's for you."

With tears in his eyes, the little boy smiled and thanked him. The little boy left the shop waving his hands, Larina replied with a smile, she was happy to be able to help the child.

'Prangs!' the sound of a glass falling to the floor and coming from the kitchen.

Larina's smile faded, she immediately went the source of the sound's origin. His eyes rounded to find the shop owner's grandmother lying on the kitchen floor and there was a broken glass next to him.

"Miss!" peeking Larina, with a panic that she could not control, she immediately lifted the body of the Grandmother and took her to the room.

Larina opened the window of the room so that there was a fresh breeze that entered the room, Larina took eucalyptus oil, just now she was about to open her eucalyptus oil cover, the shopkeeper slowly opened his eyes.

"Sir," call the panicked Larina.

Grandma was smiling.

"Sorry, Grandma was sleepy."

Larina breathes a sigh of relief.

"We go to the hospital, I'm ready first" said Larina, standing up and getting ready to leave the shop owner's room.

"No." refuse.

"No rejection,"

Larina's steps came to a halt as the wrinkled hand grabbed the tip of her finger, Larina turned her head.

"Sit down" asked Grandma the store owner.

Larina sighed then followed.

"Try it, lie down here." asked Grandma again while patting her bed.

"Miss?"

The shop owner's grandmother just smiled,

"All right,"

Larina lay down next to the shopkeeper's grandmother.

"Hmmm, how long have I been living alone?" granny muttered while looking at the ceiling of the room.

"Grandmother misses someone?" ask Larina

"Yes, he left Grandma alone first."

"Granny Husband?"

"Yes," he replied as he nodded slowly.

"When she was a teenager, Grandma was obese. The former grandmother demanded that Grandma be thin, but Grandma failed and we eventually separated. Grandma who loved him so much ended up frustrated, Grandma almost committed suicide but the action was thwarted by a man who eventually became Grandma's Husband. After marriage, she did not demand a skinny Grandma, yet she guided Grandma to thinness. He's very patient."

Larina smiled.

"Grandma's very lucky."

"Very," said Grandma.

"Grandmother is sad to see you dieting excessively,"

"Not excessive really, I just reduce the portion of the meal instead of not eating."

"But you rarely consume sugar, sugar is also necessary."

Larina fell silent.

"Grandmother has a request" said the Grandma as she stroked Larina's head.

"What is that, Grandma?"

"Grandma hope you don't mind."

"I'll fulfill it if I can, Grandma."

Grandma was smiling.

"Well, I'm curious!" Larina chuckles.

"Grandma wants you to accept Grandma's gift."

Larina's confused.

"Given?"

"Please get Grandma's jewelry box in the closet, it's behind her underwear."

Larina nodded, she got out of bed and looked for the item requested by the shop owner's grandmother.

"Don't think no. It was Grandma's underwear when she was young, so Grandma wrapped it in plastic."

Larina smiled.

"This, Grandma?" larina asked as she held the jewelry box in her hand.

The grandmother nodded, she changed her position to sit and lean. Larina handed me the jewelry box.

The Grandmother opened it, and saw a simple golden bracelet with a small flower in the middle.

"This is the bracelet given by Grandma's Husband when we were just legally a couple." he explained.

Larina nodded.

"Want me to put it up?" ask Larina.

The grandmother shook quickly. His wrinkled hands grabbed Larina's left hand. Slowly he put the bracelet on Larina's left wrist. Larina was shocked and confused.

"What do you mean, Grandma?" ask Larina.

Grandma was smiling.

"Grandmother had no one else to pass down this precious bracelet. Grandma only has you."

Larina's eyes glazed over.

"Mom, this is Grandma's precious item. Why in-"

"From now on, this bracelet is yours, son."

Larina fell silent.

"Grandma ask, you take good care of this bracelet."

"Miss? This serious? But this stuff isn't just any stuff."

"Grandma knows that. Grandma believes you can take care of her and you're the right person for this."

Larina looked at Grandma.

"You're an honest boy, a little bit of a complainer, but you're still continuing what you're doing, as stubborn as you are, but kind."

"Grandmother knows where?"

"Grandma's watching you."

Larina fell silent.

"Jaga be good at this bracelet. Although it's worth nothing, but it's worth a lot to Grandma."

Larina nodded.

"I don't promise, but I will try to take care of her" Larina said.

"Thank you very much" he continued.

"Excuse me, buy something" a voice came from the direction of the store.

Larina patted her head slowly.

"Forgot, the door is not closed. I'm out first yeah,"

The grandmother nodded.

"Yes for a minute!" Larina said as she stepped out of Grandma's room.

After Larina came out, the shop owner's grandmother took her cellphone which she placed under the pillow. The trembling hand began to look for someone's number, and he called the number.

"Yes, Grandma. Can I help you?" a man's voice came from across the phone.

"Is what I asked for done?"

"In a minute, Grandma."

"Don't take too long. I'm afraid I can't."

"Yes, Grandma. I'm taking care of this,"

"All right, thank you."

"Just like Nek."

They ended the call.
