Chapter 31. Unexpected Meeting

Stopped the car at the garage provided, Leo and Grandma then got out of there.

Currently, they are in a city park located in the City J area. A park that is quite large and is very suitable for a family visit on the weekend, in the middle position of the garden there is a fountain pool filled with goldfish, on either side of the pool there is a round stone that resembles a page upon, looks very unique.

Some ornamental plants also meet several points, some are elongated and circular, the expanse of green grass that is so fresh can be seen as far as the eye can see.

There are many small streets scattered throughout the park, each on the left and right side of the road there is a palm tree with a height of about four meters, the leaves are thick enough to give a cool sensation even during the day, some cypress trees are also visible looks scattered on the entire garden, allowing several families to relax under it. Not only that, several small benches and a gazebo are there, at the edge of the park, there are rows of street vendors who are busy selling their wares.

"Grandma, what are we going to do here?" asked Leo who was walking hand in hand with the old woman.

"Relax like them," replied Grandma while looking around.

"Then, let's go there, Grandma," said Leo while pointing his index finger at a small bench that was right under a tree with thick leaves.

"Supposedly, once a week you or Devan take me to a place like this, I'm tired of being at home all the time," said Grandma right after landing her body on the bench. The gentle breeze that blows gives a refreshing sensation.

"I'm busy Grandma, Devan, too."

"You guys are always busy."

The boisterous sounds of children running around became Grandma's focus at this time. "Even though I have two grandchildren, but none of you can give me great-grandchildren," she muttered while heaving a rough breath.

"Do you want great-grandchildren?" Leo asked.

"I can make a lot of great-grandchildren for Grandma tonight."

"Awww-sshhh." Leo was hit by the stick from the old woman.

"Grandma, it hurts."

"Stop sowing your seeds, pick a girl and hurry up to get married."

Hearing the old woman's words, Leo rubbed the back of his neck.

"Later, Grandma. When the time comes, Leo will get married."

The old woman rolled her eyes while sighing roughly when she heard her grandson's answer.

"I am thirsty."

"Then Leo will be looking for a drink for a while."

"Buy some food too."

"Okay, wait and don't go anywhere," said the man then stood up from his position.

Grandma enjoyed the scenery around her. Her eyes never moved from the little children running around. She has children and grandchildren, but she still often feels lonely. Only the occasional visit of Leo and Devan drove her loneliness away. They are all very busy. If only she could, she wanted her two grandchildren to live with her, but they chose to live separately with her because they wanted to focus on their work.

Suddenly a ball aimed at her made the old woman immediately stand up to block, but her efforts were in vain when a woman immediately hit the ball back.

"Thank you, Miss."

"You're welcome," the woman said, looking down with a friendly smile.

"Mom..." a small child's voice followed from behind her.

"Dave, be careful. Don't run like that," The woman said as she approached the boy.

"Why alone?" she asked after lifting Dave's body into her arms.

Dave waved hee hand toward an ice cream van parked at the edge of the park. "Uncle Nicho bought me ice cream Mom. I want ice cream," Dave replied in a whisper so that only she could hear.

Hearing the story of her son, the woman just smiled. "Okay, let's find a place to take shelter first, it's very hot here," she said then turned around.

While on the other hand, someone watched the two of them without blinking a second, it was the old lady Atmadja.

"Miss..." called the grandmother when she saw the woman started to walk.

"Excuse me? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"If I may know, where are you going?" she asked then looked around.

"There's no more space, you'd better sit with me here," she offered again, her attention focused on the boy who was in the woman's arms. Somehow his face is so similar to her grandson 'Devan'.

"May I? We do not disturb the time..."

"Just call me Oma, don't worry. I will be very happy if Miss wants to accompany me. Come, sit here," she said again cutting the woman's words and pulled her to sit on the bench where she was before.

"Thank you."

"Just call me Anna, O-Oma," said the woman again.

"This is your son?"

Anna just nodded.

"Handsome and sweet," said the old woman, lightly touching Dave's cheek. The child just sits in his mother's lap.

"His name is Dave, Grandma."

"Even your names are very similar," the old woman muttered.

"What do you mean Grandma?" Anna's brow furrowed faintly.

"Oh no, forget it."

"His father must be very handsome too," she added.

Anna just smiled in response.

"Just the two of you?" asked the old woman again.

"There are three of us, Grandma," replied Anna.

The old woman just nodded, wanting to ask further but was afraid that the woman who was with her son would feel uncomfortable.

"Can I carry him?"

"B-but Grandma..."

"Don't worry, I'll still be strong if I just hold her for a while."

"O-okay Grandma," Anna replied hesitantly, but still obeyed the old woman's wishes.

However, the old lady Atmadja had not even extended her hand and a man's voice caught their attention.

"Grandma..." Leo shouted from the side.

The three figures who were on the bench turned their heads, Anna's body suddenly stiffened.

Leo felt the same way, the man paused for a moment, as if surprised by the figure that had just entered his view.

"Anna?" Leo approached.

"You two know each other?" asked Grandma.

"Yes, Grandma."

"No." Leo and Anna answered almost simultaneously.

"What's the matter with you two?" asked Oma standing confused.

"Anna, sorry for making you wait so long," A man's voice was heard from behind. He is Nicho.

They all immediately turned around, while Dave who was in Anna's lap immediately got down and burst into the man's arms.

"Grandma, sorry. Looks like I have to go."

"B-but..." said Oma hanging.

"Who is he, Anna?" Leo asked spontaneously without further ado.

"I'm her husband," Nicho replied then approached Anna and held her hand.

Leo who heard this froze on the spot.

"Then excuse us," the man said again and then pulled Anna away.
