The mask.

21.

A man in an oversized robe and a face covered in a black hood darted past the city barrier, the man continued walking with wide strides and infiltrated behind the silent darkness of the night. Wounds under his eyes are visible when the moonlight is reflected on him, he is the boss who is looking for the existence of Rama, an eternal enemy for him.

"Where are you little mouse? Let's end it all once we meet! You or me survive?!" he said a small grin.

On the other hand, Rama is currently still sound asleep on his soft mattress. He did not know that there would be problems that would disturb the peace he felt until now.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

The sound of rustling rain was heard when Rama just opened his eyes, the speck of rain could be clearly seen from the raindrops that fell on the glass window of the young man's room. Remnants of rain last night still dripping, Rama, roll lazily behind a thick blanket while again trying to close his eyes. A second later, the young man's eyes opened again. It is difficult to return to lazing, even though the day is very supportive.

Rama dragged his feet forcefully towards the bathroom, dousing cold water to make himself wake up completely, not lazy like that again. After the shower, Rama felt fresher. The young man wore a uniform and reflected in front of a long mirror. The reflection of a beautiful face was seen staring back at him, of course it was his own face. Rama straightened his hair without wasting much time. As his grandmother said, Rama is a young man who is too cool and cold. He doesn't even worry about how he looks in other people's eyes, how they respond, or what they think of him. It's their business and nothing to do with it. Whatever they think of Rama, will not change the story that has been determined for him, is not it.

Rama put the comb he was wearing back into place, then he came out of the room with slow steps. My goal, of course, is the dining table. There was waiting for his grandmother and his best friend, Andi. As usual, we had breakfast together every day, although sometimes I could not attend due to unexpected schoolwork and an impromptu morning schedule from the office.

"Good morning young master!" greeting the few servants who passed by, Rama only gave a small nod in return.

"Mranny's favorite!" said the grandmother accompanied by a warm smile that I always liked.

"August, grandma!" the young man's reply was brief plus a small smile for the old lady in front of him, yes even if it was only a moment to endure. My mom is the sun for us.

"Sure!" bala Rama sat in the chair that he usually sat in.

"You'll be home in time, won't you today?" ask the grandmother again.

Rama nodded his head. "Sure, grandma! I don't have to go to the office today. So I will go home with Andi," said Rama.

"Finally, after so long we can go home together again, Ram," chirped his best friend with a happy expression.

"Then, grandma will pick you two up later. We're going shopping together, okay?" breaking up the grandmother sparked a sudden idea.

"Do as your grandmother wishes!" Rama smiled, occasionally going to the mall and taking the time to shop with his family would not make trouble.

"Can we buy some snacks later?" andy suddenly interjected.

Nek Lidya laughed a little. "of course! We'll buy whatever we need. Clothes, food, bags, hats, anything we're going to buy today?!"

Rama and Andi leave for school as soon as they finish breakfast, they will not forget their promise after school.
