After breakfast, Rama and Andi accompanied the grandmother to garden in the back garden. Nek Lidya wore a wide hat to avoid the sun being a little hotter than usual. "Sir, how about we spend some time in the greenhouse? It's too hot here, I'm afraid grandma will get sick later" Rama asked, the young man wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.
"Your grandmother is pretty strong, yeah! Don't treat your grandmother like a child who is too vulnerable to the weather!" refute the stubborn grandmother.

The next day, Rama ordered the butler to call some handymen, he needed their services to make a roof. No matter what type of roof to install, he does not really know about it, the important thing is that the roof is suitable for gardening. It just so happened that Rama today had no classes, so he could observe directly their work.
The cost was not a problem for the young man, he had quite a lot of savings from his work salary and the rest of the snacks given by the grandmother. So, he could use his money for this matter. Rama also did not feel he had other needs, so better the money was used for the benefit of his grandmother. Protecting the grandmother is her top priority right now.
"What are you doing here, Ram?" ask the grandmother.
"Grandma's garden renovation!" rama answered briefly.
"Huh, grandma's garden want you to do something, bad boy?" the grandmother ruffled her waist, do not like if anyone disturbed her favorite place.
Rama hugged his grandmother spoiled. "Secret, and grandma can't refuse it?!" rama said with a big smile. Nek Lidya sighed, the name could she reject the sweet face of her grandson like this. Nek Lidya nodded.
