You're the one who always taught me and stressed me to be able to endure, be brave and be grateful for what I have. You understand me the most !"

Ballawa was sitting in the side seat of Andre who was focusing on driving the car to Palembang. They had been 2 days away and all the passengers in the car were quite tired of facing the often moody attitude of Mas Pram.
In the middle passenger seat there is a Pram mas that sits comfortably alone, while the rear seat is Leeroy and Dody, respectively, which is accompanied by 1 cage large enough to contain 2 roosters and 4 hens that often fuss alternately.
"Leeroy.... " Call Mas Pram with your eyes closed.
"Yes Mas Pram, "answered Leeroy who was holding a chicken coop so as not to fall on him because he was pushed by Dody who fell asleep on the other side and nudged the cage.
"We stopped by Grandpa's place first, do you remember the place?" Mas Pram said as if the two of them had already visited his grandfather.
"Grandfather?" Leeroy tried to remember if they had visited his grandfather when he was assigned to the time.
"Who's grandfather, ma'am? I'm sorry I kind of forgot, can I help you ?" Leeroy said back.
"Grandfather who often called my father.he said he had a boarding school in Bengkalis here, before we go to Palembang, I want us to stop by first to that place,"
"Oh.. means Mas Pram is Kiyai Umar. either we will stop by first to Bengkalis, Mas Pram. and looking at him" Leeroy finally realized that the grandfather referred to by mas Pram was a leader of the pesantren in Bengkalis.
"Mas Pram, the location of the pesantren is not far away, but usually if it has come in the afternoon, we will be asked to stay overnight mas, how?" Does mas Pram want to stay there ?"
"Yes stay the night" said Mas Pram. " I used to stay there!"
"well Pram," Sahut Leeroy.
"Ball,. later on there are instructions for the boarding school "Al Hikmah, you follow the direction yes, we will visit Kiyai Umar. You say we are his prospective students, if asked by the front officer of the boarding school,"
"okay." Sahut Ballawa relax. 'I think I also want to meet that kiyai, she's very famous, but it might be a bit difficult if we don't make an appointment!"
'You can't meet him Ball" Sahut Mas Pram with emotion. 'Only I can meet him, you and the others wait for me outside the cabin !"
" Good Pram !' Ballawa replied with a slight surprise and held back her surprise.
True as Leeroy estimates, that about an hour they arrived at Pondok Pesantren Al Hikmah, the car drove into the boarding area. And without many obstacles they were immediately allowed to enter the pesantren because it was still afternoon and kiyai Umar was already waiting for their arrival.
Leeroy was surprised because it turned out that Mas Pram, had contacted kiyai Umar first and the man was more behind the building in this pesantren, whether mas Pram had studied here. But in his heart, because sure mas Pram never want to answer his question.
"Dody, chicken - chicken that you love to pesantren people yes, so they can take care of it. say souvenirs from my chicken coop in Jakarta," Mas Pram said as he got out of the car.
"Good Mas Pram," Sahut Dody while bringing the chicken coop to one of the administrative rooms to contact the manager.
While mas Pram directly towards the back of a pendopo near the side door of the administration room.
" Remember, you can't have anyone following me, you wait in the guest's special pendopo, no one can make a fuss.. . I'll find my grandfather first," Pram said as he walked away from his companions and entered the pesantren room alone.
In the back garden, on the long sofa, seemed old man was lying down and enjoying the breeze of the afternoon. The man seemed to be asleep and beside him was a radio sound playing keroncong songs.
"grandfather, I'm home !"
The man who was lying down was surprised to hear a distinctive voice and had not been heard for a long time. He immediately tried to wake up from his sleep.
"Pram's... Pramono...?" Is that Pramono you?" You've come, son !"
"Yes grandfather, I'm home !" It's me Pramono," Sahut Pramono was moved and looked at the man he had not seen for almost 3 years.
The man who once saved his life and really took care of it as a child. The man who taught his mother and took care of her after her mother died from giving birth to her.
"my wayward grandson you can finally go home, let's accompany me to your mother's grave!" I've been waiting for you from yesterday.I'm glad you could come, Pram !" Kiyai Umar said his eyes with a slight glaze.
"Yes grandfather, sorry, but it is difficult to get permission from father and mother, they do not know I came here... I have not come home after the incident grandfather ?"
"I'm old and I'm satisfied to see you healthy, Pram. I'm now ready to die if I see you back... you must be a strong and great man, Pram !" Let your father's wife be like that, but really, I see your father really loves you, but don't talk about them !"
"Yes grandfather, let's go visit Mama Yona's grave !"
"Let's go.. You stay here, right Pram?"
"Yes grandfather," Sahut Pramono happily hugged his grandfather.
*****
In the evening, Grandpa and his young grandson meet again to enjoy their dinner at the family's large dining table Kiyai Umar.
Pramono's arrival was welcomed and full of joy by the family of Umar's grandfather. Mr. De Septa, his wife and two children, welcomed him warmly. It felt like he was part of the nuclear family of Kiyai Umar. They eat while chatting and asking for news.
Even Bude took rice and side dishes for him, things he never got if he ate with his father's family. They ate in silence and there was no warm greeting between them.
Kiyai Umar thanked Pramono for taking the time to visit him at the end of his life. Likewise, the family of Mr. de Septa who farewell after eating together. It really is like part of this family.
Sang Kiyai feels his age is not long, so ask Pramono to sleep in his room. The night was getting late but his grandfather and grandson were still continuing to chat in the grandfather's room.
"Pram.. remember whatever happens in your life, God must have a beautiful plan so you must always be grateful, you can get everything from your father, even though the big family distinguishes you a little ...I hope you can blend in and take the positives out of whatever your father did for you !"
"yes grandfather, I went to Palembang also in order I will open a business in Palembang.I think, I want to stay there and open a business."
"good...emh did your father know about your plans?'"
"no .. I don't want to talk to him yet" let him deal with his family !" After all the woman would be happy if I wasn't near my father !"
"Pram.. You must be near your father, so as not to waste your mother's struggle.he wants you to be a successful person and can suffice your family's life later!"
"Success it doesn't always have to be in Jakarta, grandfather.I'll make it if I don't see it!"
"Alright.. do you have a wife, Pram?"
"Entahlah ... can be said to be a future wife or not, but I like a woman grandfather, just yes .. that, the woman is a bit difficult?'
"You want the grandfather who proposed to her?" Grandpa'll do it, let's apply for him before he's taken people !" grandpa can still accompany you this year, Pram!"
"don't grandpa.don't be..he's currently mad at me right now !" Then grandpa!"
"Bring her a gift and you say sorry.the woman if we say sorry must be forgiven, the important thing is you give up, if you want her to obey you !" You've got a lot to lower your anger and all your bad qualities if you want her to be your wife!"
"But I made a fatal mistake, grandfather" Pramono said softly and slightly lowered his head.
Pramono felt ashamed to tell his bad deeds to his lover in front of his grandfather.
"You're bullying her and she's watching you being with another woman?" Or did you abuse or beat him up, Pam?" If you do that then you're a little hard to get her sorry.but try, if she loves you, she'll forgive you !" Tell Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"I ... aa I.. emh... I'm evil grandfather!" but I'll apologize to him !"
"Yes.. but what crime did you commit?"
"That's grandpa!" Later I will take care of it and apologize to him," Pramono tried to calm his elderly grandfather. "later I will take him to visit grandfather and mother!" Patience, grandfather, and I hope you stay healthy and can be my guardian !"
The old man can hang if he finds out that he meng**a his lover and drove the lover after he fucked her. His foolish actions due to Marisa, the older sister, gave him stimulant drugs and made him become khilaf and do stupid actions.
"Pram. I really love you, I want you to succeed as a person, it's up to you where you are, but do your best and you have to be a good person, he said, don't follow your father and his family !"
"I know grandfather, so I want to stay in Palembang and start a new life, if I succeed I will bring that woman to accompany me until the end of my life !"
"I always pray for you, Pram.you are actually a good boy, just because you don't have a whole family, so it's a little messy, I just hope while I'm alive,..... I wish I could be your guardian to watch your wedding!"
" Grandfather, only grandfather always taught me and stressed me to be able to endure, be brave and be grateful for what I have. Grandpa who understands me the most!".. I pray for you grandfather, in order to be my marriage guardian!"
'Amen...
