The Destiny I Chose
Chapter 5

Natali was seen in a hurry up the stairs to get to the second floor, when she arrived on the second floor she went straight to her grandmother's room.

"Grandfather, how's grandma doing?" natali asked when she was in her grandmother's room.

"The doctor said his condition dropped back, and it took a lot of rest" explained the grandfather.

Natali was sitting limp after hearing his grandfather's words, he loved his grandmother very much, even for a second he never thought how he would survive without his grandmother.

Seeing his grandson was very sad, Grandpa immediately hugged Natali.

"Hey, relax, grandma will heal, your grandmother is a strong person" said his grandfather trying to calm Natali.

Natali who was in the arms of the grandfather immediately cried, she was really scared at this moment.

"Let Natali here, Natali wants to accompany grandma cake" Natali said while crying.

"Yes, we will accompany grandma here" replied the grandfather. Although it looks tough, it seems that the head of the Wijaya family is also very worried about the state of his wife.

"Eat first, grandpa bought your favorite roasted chicken" said the grandfather, but Natali remained silent while holding his grandmother's finger.

"Your grandmother will not be happy if you are sad like this, you also have to be strong in order to be able to encourage your grandmother" explained her grandfather to Natali.

Natali still looks silent while looking at her grandmother's face.

"Why grandma is so beautiful" she said.

"Grandmother, she's going to heal, isn't she, she's still going to smile at us instead of cake?" natali continued accompanied by her tears that began to flow.

"Grandfather, Natali was so afraid of losing grandma, what if bad things happened to grandma cake, what if we could no longer see the beautiful and sparkling eyes of grandma every time we praised her." natali again.

The grandfather who could not bear to hear Natali's words immediately approached his grandson and hugged him again.

"Your grandmother will be healed, you have to believe that" said her grandfather, who is also crying.

Long time they cry next to the body of his grandmother who is still faithful to close their eyes and unconscious, until the doctor in charge of the grandmother came in and examined the state of his grandmother.

"Leon how is he?" ask grandpa. Apparently Leon the doctor who had Natali hit was a heart specialist.

"Until now there has been no development, if it continues like this we are afraid we must immediately do a heart transplant, if not feared it will have an impact on the lives of patients." explained Leon.

"Then what should it be?" ask grandpa again.

"There is currently no heart that can be donated, hopefully the patient can still survive" replied Leon.

"If surgery what percentage of the elderly patient is successful?" ask grandpa again.

"Sir.."

"The answer is Leon" said the grandfather cutting off Leon's speech.

"The probability of a successful operation for the elderly is 1%" Leon replied with a worried look.

"And that means 99% are not safe" his grandfather continued with a bitter smile.

Natali who had been there and also listened to the conversation between her grandfather and the doctor could only remain silent.

"Grandfather, we have to" Natali said whining to his grandfather.

"That girl." inwardly Leon, he noticed Natali's face which was very sad at the moment.

"Let's take care of you, maybe grandma is also tired and wants to rest, you still have grandfather, grandfather will take care of you" said Natali's grandfather.

Natali's cry broke when she heard her grandfather's words, the thing she feared the most in this world had finally happened, she lost one of the people she cared about so much.

Tonight was a very long night full of tears and cries from his grandfather and grandchildren, they both lost the figure they had made light in their lives.

That night, Natali's grandmother was also the wife of his grandfather

Sri Sulistiawati Wijaya Binti Atmaja

gone forever from their lives, even without saying goodbye and saying goodbye he closed his eyes forever.

****

After the grandmother's departure for good, Natali only locked himself in his room, even after the funeral process Natali did not come out to welcome guests who came to say condolences.

He just sat on the edge of his mattress while staring at the photo of the grandmother with a blank look, then a second later cried, while lying Natali hugged the photo of the grandmother tightly, the grandmother, she even always prayed that this bad day was just a dream, and when she woke up her grandmother would come back again.

"Sir, I miss you" Natali said, closing her eyes.

****

On the other hand, not much different from the state of Natali Pak Wijaya after being left by his beloved wife is also no less bad than Natali, even the 62-year-old man was often delirious and called the name of his late wife.

"Sri, why did you leave me first."

"Didn't we promise to raise Natali to the end, why did you leave me and Natali."

"Look, are you happy to see me and Natali like this, come back Sri" said Natali's grandfather in front of the photo of his late wife crying.

Share the lost light to continue the path, the world of grandfather and grandson seemed to stop. The departure of the grandmother made a deep wound for both of them.

The school goes in as usual, and again Natali is absent from class, there is no clear reason why Natali did not enter, and all her classmates do not know, except Bryan, either, he knows why Natali didn't come in, but he just kept quiet, because he promised not to tell everyone who Natali really was

"No one really knows how Natali is?" ask their homeroom teacher, not without reason the homeroom asked, considering soon the semester exam and one of his students there is no clarity.

"Do you know Natali's house?" ask the class again. And again, he did not receive any answers.

Natali really became a very mysterious figure in his class, ranging from phone numbers and houses, no one knew except Bryan.

"Chia doesn't know either?" ask the teacher to Chia who does look quite close to Natali.

"Chia doesn't know mom, we're just regular friends, not that close" Chia replied.

"Hmm, yes, then try to find out for yourself, and for all of you hope to study more because soon we will be taking the semester exam, do not let your grades decline." obviously the class.

"Good ma'am." answered all the students in the class in a compact manner.

"Well, class this afternoon until here first, until we meet at the next meeting, good afternoon" said the homeroom teacher then walked out of class.
