Not Just a Dream

Not Just a Dream
Throes


"I don't want to see Grandpa?" reject Renata ketus. I do not know how many times Bagas persuaded him, but still could not soften the heart of a Renata Nicholas. 


"But, honey, he's your grandfather. He's already apologized. Someone else you forgive, grandpa's own time doesn't?" 


For the umpteenth time Renata wiped her tears. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to hate his grandfather, but in reality Liam's grandfather was a hidden criminal. 


"But grandpa was evil to us. He wants to destroy us. I don't know what's going on until I'm not his granddaughter, he'll do worse, ma'am." 


Renata shuddered with the cry. If you remember the burning building and the nearly destroyed cafe, the pain will not go away, but not necessarily Renata won his ego. 


"Please open your heart, grandfather Liam is old, maybe it is his last mistake, do not let you regret," said Bagas from the heart. 


Renata digested the sentence that slid from Bagas' lips. 


"Alright, I'll meet grandfather and forgive him if Akio and Mondi pick me up." 


Renata calmed her heart which was still shrouded in emotion. Bagas hugged her, giving her warmth that no one else would give.


After returning home from Liam's grandfather's house, Renata's heart continued to beat rapidly. He can't do any activity. For some reason, at this time the shadow only had the face of Liam's grandfather. 


If Grandpa is really sorry, why didn't he call me? Why didn't he tell Akio and Mondi to pick me up, or did he just pretend to love me? ask Renata in heart. 


Almost two hours lying on the bed, Renata's eyes could not be closed, the night was getting late, but Renata's heart was getting restless. Get off the bed and open the curtains of his room. Staring at the flashing lights adorned several buildings visible from the balcony. 


I didn't know why Grandpa, even though I didn't know I was his grandson, he should have a conscience. 


Renata's brain was unceasingly thinking about Liam's grandfather's state. With me alone he was like that, let alone with his business opponents, it must have been worse. 


Renata stroked her stomach which began to bulge. "Mommy's son, even though you are a descendant of the Nicholas family, but your nature should not be like grandfather, you should be like papa. He's very kind. Forgive me, mama." 


A simple, rich and powerful request does not completely cleanse the heart, even sometimes it is the path of someone who wants to tear down an opponent. Renata closed the curtains back. Staring at the sleeping Bagas. His shady face, a man who instantly accepted himself without wanting to know his background. A man who is so good accepts it only because of love. Not because of wealth. 


Finally Renata closed his eyes beside Bagas. 


The clock shows at 03:00. However, Renata was still unable to sleep, her heart growing restless and anxious. It was as if something was awkward, but he did not understand. 


So upset, Renata grabbed the phone on the nightstand. He looked at the screen, there were only a few messages from Sena saying she wanted to meet him. Want to be in a closer relationship and want to learn from Renata. In addition, there are no more messages or calls from others. 


Why didn't Grandpa call me. He should have said over the phone, I would have forgiven him, why just now. If I call him, not ah.


Renata put down her phone. Intention to talk to Grandpa. He pulled the blanket to cover half his body, again Grandpa Liam's face flashed making him unable to sleep. 


"I have to go to Grandpa's house. I have to make sure she's okay." The worry caused Renata to panic.


Renata shook Bagas' arm, waking the man up gently. "What's up, honey? Do you need anything?" ask Bagas with a heavy voice. His eyes still narrowed when exposed to the glare of the lamp. 


"Maybe you think too much about grandfather. It's okay, he'll definitely subconsciously wait for your forgiveness.".


"But I want to see Grandpa, Mas. I want to go to his house."


Keeping Renata is not as easy as taking care of herself, even Renata is the most valuable treasure in the eyes of Grandpa Liam. Opening the closet. I took the same two jackets. 


Put it on Renata's body. Both of them came out of the house without saying goodbye to Amara. 


The sky is still very dark. Several stars twinkled across the sky, calming the restless-looking beast. The woman could not remain silent. His eyes are so bright. It shows that his heart is sad to think. 


"You don't worry, I'm sure Grandpa Liam is fine. Maybe he gave you time to think. Don't bother you."


"But this is not the attitude of Big Brother Liam, Mas. No matter how angry, he couldn't possibly silence me. He should have called me, at least sent Akio and Mondi here, not like this?


Bagas gently stroked the top of Renata's head. "Relax sweetheart I'm sure grandpa's fine." 


after the car stopped in front of Liam's grandfather's house, Renata went straight down without waiting for Bagas. He ran into the house. The only room he went to was Grandpa Liam's room on the first floor. 


"Grandfather.." cried Renata while knocking on the tightly closed door. The lights were on, nobody was there. Some of the guards were deserted, only the guards were asleep at the post. Renata went to the back. A maid was busy tidying up some dishes. 


"Grandfather where? Is he not awake yet?" asked Renata to start crying. Bizarrely, Iya Bu holds a large mandate that cannot be said carelessly.


"Why aunt shook her head. Where is grandpa? Isn't he in the room?"


"Sorry, Miss. I can't say it. 


"What's this about? Come, Bi. I want to meet Grandpa. I want to apologize for leaving without saying goodbye yesterday."


no no no no 


The pounding of the shoes and the floor was echoing. Renata ran out. It turned out that it was Akio who had just descended from the second floor. 


"Om, where's Grandpa?" tanya Renata approached Akio who was already at the bottom of the stairs. The man looked down as if there was something he was hiding. 


"Come on, Grandpa where, what's quiet in the room."


"Will Miss forgive Liam's grandfather if I tell her whereabouts?" Renata nodded quickly then let out a long sigh. Heavy, between saving trust and helping Renata, now Akio seems confused.  


"Mr Liam is in the hospital." 


The lightning bolt struck, Renata's body suffocated instantly. From the direction of the door, Bagas ran quickly, supporting his wife's almost collapsed body.
