The mask.

11.

Time passed so quickly, it did not feel like it had entered a new season to go to school. Some friends in the old school also went to the school that Andi and Rama went to. The two young men had received scholarships to favorite schools, but they refused and gave the scholarship to students who were more in need. Rama refused and Andi followed in his footsteps.

The grandfather lately often sickly, it is also one of the reasons Rama does not want to be far from his new family. Three years is not a short time, he has learned a lot how to treat his family appropriately and sincerely. Maybe Rama is acting, but he smiles more often than not now.

"Grandfather, it's me, Rama!" rama said knocking on the door of his grandfather's room, he called his grandfather with a note must come alone.

"Come in!" hoarse-sounding sounds entered Rama's sense of hearing.

"How's grandpa doing?" rama asked as he walked closer to the old man who looked weaker in front of him.

"Not better than before, bad boy!" the ruckus sounded from the man who was lying constantly.

"When will grandpa be healthy? So we can go on a vacation together, cake!" Rama sincerely expects the healing of this man in front of him.

"Khe-khe-khe, hearing you say that, it feels like grandfather is getting healthier, Rama!"

"Hmm, should I ask like that all the time? Who knows grandpa will be getting and getting healthier because of it!"

Grandpa Surya laughed softly, he patted his bedside. "Sit near Grandpa, Ram." Rama said he was sitting next to his grandfather.

"Rama ..., Grandpa wants to apologize to you, Grandpa feels the rest of Grandpa's time is not much. So, grandfather has to apologize while he has the chance!" said Grandpa Surya dashed.

"Grandpa doesn't have to apologize, if anyone has to apologize, it's probably me, cake" Rama replied softly. 'Because I lied to your family so much, you were so kind to me!'

"No, no. I must apologize to you, young man. I'm using you as a shield for Andi, because I'm afraid that the boy is hurt again or attacked!" Rama was quite surprised by this, not that it meant that this old man in front of him knew who his real granddaughter really was.

"What does grandfather mean?" ask Rama quickly. He was caught, when it happened, what mistakes he did until he was caught while acting.

"So ..., do I have to get out of here?" rama asked clenched his hand, only this time he failed.

Grandpa Surya raised his hand slowly, he patted Rama on the head. "No, you're my grandson, now and for good. Nothing can change that fact, I just want to apologize for using you, son. I deliberately put you in danger!"

"This old geezer just wants you to know the truth, before grandpa's time runs out, son!"

Grandpa Surya took a deep breath. "Will you forgive this sick man, son?"pinta the grandfather was hopeful.

"Nothing to forgive, cake. I understand and if it was me, I would choose to do the same. So, grandfather just calm down and rest a lot to recover quickly. Didn't grandpa get tired of lying in the room?"

"Based on a bad boy, if only your grandfather would have run and jumped, you fool!"

"Then do it when your grandpa is healthy! I have to go first, I have to prepare the documents for the school list. Get well, cake!"

"Heard you turned down a school offer just because the place was far away? Is this old man the reason?"

Rama smiled mockingly. "It's very self-confidence? Though I just can't get away from the gentle and considerate grandmother!" said kidding.

"Bas on a bad boy!" as if grandpa was pretending to be upset. The two shared a laugh together, Grandpa Surya felt much better after he apologized to Rama.
