Dira could only quietly listen to the words of the old man who turned out to be the opa Mika as well as the owner of the school where he studied.
"That's all I'm asking for, and you'll still be able to finish your school here for free, and I'll make sure you'll also get the facilities and scholarships to go to college wherever you want," hendardi stared intently at Dira's face.
Apparently, the guy's been bagging all his data. Evidently he knows the life of Dira and also everyone in Aunt Merlin's house.
"Hows it? What's your answer?" his insistence came back, leaving Dira speechless again.
The man's offer was of course very tempting, but the requirements the man requested were also very heavy, it was almost impossible for Dira to do so. However, imagining he could go to college without having to collect a penny after a penny, made Dira's faith falter.
"I... I'm not sure I can do it, sir," Dira said frankly, too heavy and very risky.
"You must be sure. I have also heard from the principal and also my spy that my delinquent grandson changed just because he wanted to please you. You guys are also dating, so it won't be hard. I came after I got word that Mika turned into a delinquent again after you rejected her love and chose to be close to Harianja?" asked Mr. Hendardi, his palm tightly grasped the head of his stick and Dira shuddered the country, like the head of his skull which was in the grasp of the man.
"But I have nothing to do with Mika, sir," replied Dira venturing. Are all rich people the same? Like forcing?
"And like Anja?" susul Hendardi could not stand.
Dira could only nod weakly. Shame but he did not want to deny his feelings.
Silence moment. The old man's breathing seemed heavy, then after a few minutes of silence he raised his voice again.
"Dira. But this is all I did to save my grandson's life. You can talk to Anja, ask her permission to allow yourself to pretend to like Mika, and approach my granddaughter, until she returns to being the right child. Just to finish this High School. Grandpa please, have mercy on Grandpa" said the man who turned soft.
He realized that this girl in front of him could not be forced. So decided to pity Dira.
Hearing the old man's plea, Dira felt bad.
"Grandfather please, this is only a few months left until the completion of High School," he continued now holding Dira's hand.
"I'm sorry, but I can't, sir" he replied weakly. He felt bad for depriving the old man of hope. But his attitude was right, there was no way he would want to be a liar, ensnaring Mika just for the sake of getting a college scholarship.
"Why can't you? You haven't even tried again. You've also been close to her even though it's only claimed by Mika herself, and the changes she's made are just purely out of wanting to please you," frankly Hendardi is still patiently ensnaring Dira's mercy. "One more thing, don't call me 'Sir', call me Grandpa!"
Gluey!
Dira found it difficult to swallow his saliva. What should he answer. The man who has the power will certainly not let go until he accepts the request of the owner of this school.
"Ka-kek," he said nervous and looked awkward because asked to call Mr. Hendardi with the title 'Grandfather'.
"I'm afraid I'll get caught by Mika. Grandpa Tah himself how scary Mika is," replied Dira weakly.
Dira was confused and asked who the man was, but understood that he took his place in front of Dira and opened his bag, take out a piece of paper that has been conceptualized and only needs to be spiked by Dira's signature.
"You please sign here" said the man whom Dira guessed was Hendardi's family lawyer.
Of course Dira did not immediately sign the letter. He picked it up and read it first.
There it is written about the contents of their agreement in detail and concisely clear.
Her job is only one, guiding Mika to finish school on time and get good grades until high school graduation, and in return Dira will get the amount of money he used to meet his needs in the form of deposits, and get a full scholarship, wherever the girl wants to continue her education later.
It was also written that Mr. Hendardi did not force Andira Putri to do the task. He does so with full awareness and without coercion by anyone.
The next point is explained that the content of the agreement should only be known by the first party in question Mr. Hendardi himself, and the second party is himself.
"How about, any points you want to add?" ask the lawyer to see Dira's face after reading the letter.
"What if I fail, Cake?" ask Dira. He was not sure, because right now his communication relationship with Mika was in turmoil. In fact, you could say that Mika currently hates her very much. Never mind to approach the man, ask him to talk, of course Dira is not necessarily successful.
"You're gonna get kicked out of school!" hardik Zen, the lawyer representing Mr. Hendardi.
Dira's face was pale. He looked at Hendardi, seeking the truth of Zen's words.
"try to! Don't think too much about failures that don't necessarily happen" he said with a gentle smile. Hendardi seems to have liked the character of Dira. He was sure that his granddaughter could love Dira, even willing to do things that were very contrary to her own wishes just for the sake of pleasing a girl, surely Dira was very special to Mika.

"Dira!" yelled Anja chasing after the girl who had almost arrived in front of the west gate, the gate passed by children if they want to go home from school and are lazy to meet the teachers who go home through the front door.
"Where have I been looking all day for classes?" asked Anja when she met Dira who was near the school gate.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, Ja. I forgot to tell you. He was called the headmaster" he replied clumsily. So dizzy thinking about the agreement, Dira did not think of anything else, even her favorite lesson in the last hour, unable to take her mind off the agreement.
"Well? Is there a problem I don't know about?" ask Anja seriously. He wanted to know every problem the girl faced, and to be the first to help Dira in every problem.
"Huh? Oh, there's no. Just want a value consultation and which campus I want to go to," he explained lying. How could he possibly be honest and tell about the contents of the agreement. It is clear in point three that he should not tell anyone about the agreement only the first and second parties know.
"Ra," Anja calls to hold Dira's step by holding the girl's hand. Now the two have openly combined love, after Mika does not appear again at school. "I hope you're not hiding anything from me!"
