Behind All Changes

Chapter 27

When it was outside the room, Lidya's eyes caught the figure of Kelvin and Gisel in a cuddle pose. They hugged for a long time.

Seeing that, somehow Lidya's chest became tight.

Lidya immediately ran away from where she was.

Lidya stopped near a large tree after she was sure to have run away.

Lidya why are you like this? Aren't you the one who wanted him to leave? So now that she has found the girl she likes, why are you crying instead? Like a whiny girl, though,

lidya said in her heart.

Heard that word he said. Not that Lidya's cries subsided, it was getting louder.

"Please don't cry" Lidya pinta told herself.

"From the cry here, mending me to Mom's funeral. It wouldn't be funny if I came home and Grandma saw these watery eyes" muttered Lidya softly.

As usual, Lidya walked to the funeral of her beloved mother.

There Lidya cried as it became. People who pass by and see Lidya crying just understand. Because it was a burial place and the person crying there was a natural thing.

"Mom, why is Lidya crying? Lidya was crying because of that man. Lidya doesn't love him. Then why is Lidya crying now?" Lidya asked inwardly.

"Oh, Lidya knows. Lidya nangis must be because 3 weeks later the date of the anniversary of Kelvin and Mother's death. Yes, it must be because of that," Lidya tried to convince him why he was crying because of Kelvin and his mother.

After feeling calmer, Lidya moved from her place to return to the apartment.

"Lidya," called Grandma as Lidya was closing the door.

"Yes, Grandma" said Lidya.

Lidya was silent on her Grandma's question. He never told his grandmother about the Olympics. And now how does her grandmother know?

Lidya smiled as she replied, "what Olympics? Lidya had absolutely no idea that there was an Olympic race."

Grandma Lidya exhaled her coarse breath. He was convinced that his grandson was lying.

"Grandmother doesn't want to be a hindrance to your success. If it is your reason for retreating because of Grandma, then at that time Grandma will look down embarrassed. Because as your Grandma, Grandma cannot support your success" said Grandma Lidya.

"Sir, don't say that" said Lidya.

"Lidya never participated in the Olympic studies," said Lidya again lying.

"You can't lie to Grandma, Lidya. From childhood Grandma always reminds you to tell the truth in any condition. Once you lie, then you will go on and on to lie" said Grandma Lidya.

Lidya nodded at the words that were more towards the advice of her Grandmother.

After saying that Grandma Lidya went into the room leaving Lidya who was daydreaming about her Grandmother's words.

"Grandmother is right, I must not make Grandma an excuse to hinder my success. If I succeed, Grandma will be proud of me. And Grandma will be happy too. For Grandma's sake I will participate again" Lidya told herself.

Lidya wanted to take her phone from inside the bag.

While he was holding his phone simultaneously his phone rang indicating someone was contacting him.

Lidya sees a call ID that says Dean Uly.

"What a coincidence," muttered Lidya. A faint smile was etched on his lips.

Without waiting for long Lidya immediately pressed the green button to receive the call.
