Lately, the health condition of Abdullah's grandfather is no longer able to survive because of his age is old enough. Likewise with Anisa's grandmother who was compact sick with her husband. It seems like both of them want their love to stay awake.
Both of them do not want to be hospitalized anymore. They just want to be treated at home. That morning, Grandpa wanted to talk to Nabila and Amran.
Nabilla had just fed her second breakfast even if it was just a little. Amran read the Koran to his grandparents. The couple already saw signs that their grandparents' lives were coming to an end. Abdullah's grandfather asked the two to approach him. The two sat beside the grandfather who looked extremely weak. His one hand grandfather still firmly grasped the hand of his wife who slept beside him.
Nabilla could only tear up to see the magnitude of the love of this twilight couple.
"Nabilla, Amran. Grandfather doesn't have much longer to accompany you. If grandpa's gone, please keep this key. This is the key to the cellar where the chemical weapons were stored in Amran's headquarters, which he used to keep weapons," said Abdullah's grandfather then gave a small box containing the key to the warehouse and at the same time gave the code to Amran.
"So, all this time grandfather kept it in the headquarters? is there a basement in Grandpa's base? Where's grandpa at? the way to the basement?" ask Amran curious.
Grandfather seems to be no longer able to answer Amran's question . His breathing began to falter with his vision starting to blur. Nabilla asked her husband to raise his grandfather's ear so that Amran would lead him to read the tahlil. Amran understood his wife's request.
Amran repeated the tahlil sentence and the grandfather followed eloquently until the third time the grandfather said the sentence in one breath and breathed his last. So did Anisa's grandmother who was led by Nabilla when she found out her husband had died.
The two died at the same time clutching each other's hands. Nabilla could not help but cry. He cried to re-imagine how Anisa's grandparents loved her the first time she came to this house as a granddaughter-in-law.
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi rojiuuun. Goodbye grandpa, grandma. May Allah glorify you by His side" the sincere prayer of Nabilla.
Upon hearing Nabilla's cry, Ummi Ambar and other grandchildren and great-grandchildren entered his room, Abdullah's grandfather was followed by another granddaughter-in-law. Not long after, Mr. Recky approached the bodies of his father and mother.
"Baby, Dady. Sorry Recky...!" said Mr. Recky crying like a child next to his mother.
Adam's grandson approached his grandfather and whispered something to his grandfather." Grandfatherbiscuts. The man should not cry said daddy" said Adam.
"Winning for the departure of our most dear person, it can be dear" said Mr. Recky then carrying his granddaughter.
Arland, Wira and Reno immediately act to take care of the funeral procession both.
"alright. We take care of the funeral of grandparents in the family cemetery at the top of Bogor," said Arland.
The ones who felt the most at loss were Ummi Ambar and Nabilla. Their faces were so shocked they could do nothing. Amran had to carry his wife to their room. El and Nada take care of their mother.
While down there the mourners have come from the bottom to the upper circles. The servants were busy welcoming the mourners. Mr. Rusli, Mariska's doctor and Mr. Reky received mourners who came from among the officials. So did Wira and Devan who serve mourners from among businessmen.
Journalists were busy covering the funeral procession of Anisa's grandmother and Abdullah's grandfather. Mr. Recky intervened to answer reporters' questions because he was the only son of his parents.
Arland still gave the command to his men to keep the big family so that they should not be careless on the slightest thing because it could be criminals take advantage of the moment of grief. What else does Nabilla currently not want to be bullied except her children and husband.
Within a few hours, all the big families had joined the car entourage to the family funeral. The kindness of Mr. Abdullah and Anisa's grandmother throughout their lives was evident when people who knew the two drove the two at the funeral.
When the bodies were lowered in the burrow that was welcomed below were Mr. Recky and Amran. The father and son did well. Amran held back his tears. He was very grateful for the firm attitude of his grandfather who had asked him to find a wife who Sholehah so that his life path would be better and now proven. Not only Sholehah but Nabilla is a wife who has a complete package beyond her expectations.
"Your counsellor is never wrong, grandfather, because you live first with me, and you see more of how the living person does not follow his desires, but the living person must have an end goal and to achieve it all, the person must live his life must be happy by building the same household, if he has a knowledgeable wife," inward Amran remembered a little advice of grandfather Abdullah who was still ringing in his mind at this time.
Minutes later, the funeral procession ended and the extended family returned to Abdullah's grandfather's residence to eat together.
"Honey. You eat first!" pinta Amran at the sight of Nabilla still sitting pensively holding a photo of Abdullah's grandfather and Anisa's grandmother when the photo with him at his wedding with Amran.
"I miss them, mas ..!" nabilla said while shedding tears.
"Mas also miss their baby. But life has to go on. We need to be stronger than the rest of the family. You can be sad but still have to eat. Pity the children if you fall ill" persuaded Amran to hold a spoon filled with food to feed Nabilla.
Nabilla had to chew her food while crying. Amran lets his wife enjoy her grief and hopes Nabilla can quickly move on because of their task of wanting to find the chemical weapon.
"Are you still interested in finding out the whereabouts of the chemical weapons that grandfather kept?" ask Amran.
"Actually, I no longer want to look for it because it does not bring any benefits to us. But we have to move it to a safer place so that it is not found by anyone who is still aiming for chemical weapons so that the world remains safe" Nabilla said.
"Is there no formula for the antidote to chemical weapons, baby?" ask Amran.
"God willing there is. We must ask God for guidance. Without His guidance, it will feel useless when we learn to know the formula," said Nabilla.
"Yes dear. I want those chemical weapons to be destroyed before they fall into the hands of those who want to destroy this world" Amran said.
"But for the time being, we don't need to focus on those chemical weapons. We should focus on our extended family, especially our own children. I'm very worried about their safety" Nabilla said.
"Honey. It's my job to protect you. We have deployed our men to always supervise the security of our extended family so that they are not used as criminals as hostages to be the exchange rate for chemical weapons" Amran said.
"It's hard to find a true friend. If Dito's grandfather hadn't leaked the secret chemical weapons to Dito, Dito probably wouldn't have had the ambition to set up a probe to find the chemical weapons" Nabilla said.
"Don't he already know the chemical weapons storage by setting a trap for me so that I can stay in prison. That way he'll go to the base freely and ask his men Kenzie and Nadim to attack our base?" guess Amran with his assumptions.
"It could be as you thought, mas" said Nabilla.
