The mask.

53.

Rama continued to pay attention to Poncho every time he had the opportunity, the man did work diligently and not lazy. But the problem is that he does not know until when the Ponco will remain calm, he could immediately change and endanger the grandmother and Andi when he is not there. Rama also told the man who escorted his grandmother and Andi to be careful of his workers, of course the guards worked as shadows, would not appear if not needed, he said, this is the task that Rama gave them.

Ponco himself did not know that he was being watched, the man often clucked resentfully in his heart, furious with Rama's overly sharp intuition. "In fact why did you see that uncle, Ram anyway?" ask Andi wonder.

"Who else saw the worker?" elak Rama's.

"Yes, you are, from earlier your eyes are always looking at Uncle Beno. Don't worry, the uncle works well, really," Andi said praising Ponco.

"I don't see anyone anymore, I'm seeing Grandma's garden!" rama doesn't care if his friends believe him or not.

"Ram, go, yuk. Mumpung no class," invite Andi no longer issue Rama want to eat the garden or the uncle.

"Take grandma, if grandma wants, then we go," Rama said.

"Where do you want grandma to walk at this hour, we'll, huh?" reply Andi half-wet.

"Look, An, don't ever leave grandma alone at home! We don't know what dangers can come when we're nowhere near Grandma?!" rama said with a serious tone. 'The threat is all around us!' the young man continued inwardly, his eyes looking back at Poncho.

Ponco returned to the room he had been wearing during his stay and work at Nek Lidya's residence. The man slammed the hat he was wearing to flush the sunlight onto the floor. "Damn it, there's nothing I can do! Though I've been this close," decak Ponco hissed in annoyance.

"Why should the nameless suspect that this is me? Did I just use the way I've been recently stacking, huh?" the man thought hard, considering what steps he should take next. Not long ago he was looking for his old enemy, from the servant who had been working here for a long time, Ponco finally knew how his enemy was getting his position now. Ponco actually did not want to use this way, but he had no other choice. He had to get his enemy shunned so he could act later.

The poncho moistened his lips, smiling cunningly with eyes that stared evilly. "Alright, let's find some time to make enmity between the three of them!" kekeh Ponco was excited again. The man smelled his own body. "I'd better take a shower after resting" said Ponco, realizing that his body was full of sweat.

Rama knocked on the door of the grandmother, she was alone, her friend was playing a game in her own room. "Just enter, it's unlocked" a voice said from inside.

Rama immediately entered, smiling at his grandmother who was embroidery in front of the window. "Grandmother should let the servant do it" said Rama, holding the grandmother's fragile hand. "Look, how many hands did grandma get on a needle, hmm?" the young man counted how many fingers the grandmother had bandaged.

"Hu-hu-hu-hu, not as sick as it looks, my naughty grandson," replied the grandmother taking off the cloth she had embroidered earlier. "Grandmother just embroider to fill the time," continued the old woman.

"What are you doing here, Ram? Is there anything you want to ask for? Or is your monthly money lacking, hmm?" asked the grandmother to look attentively at her grandson.

"I'd like to ask our new gardener to work in the company's warehouse, Grandma. He's doing pretty well in my opinion, so he can definitely work there well. Even his salary is also higher, if he lives, he can stay in the company mess," said Rama sitting next to the grandmother. He deliberately wants to keep Ponco from his home, Rama does not like there is a walking bomb that is ready to explode at any time near the grandmother.

Nek Lidya seemed to think at a glance. "All right, grandma doesn't matter. As long as the person wants to," the grandmother agreed.

Rama smiled faintly. "Come, grandma. Who would give up the chance to get a bigger salary? Well, unless you have a hidden intention," replied Rama whispered softly at the end of his sentence.

"What did you say?" ask the grandmother not too much to hear what her grandson said at the end of the sentence.

"Surely he accepted my offer, Grandma!" rama said quickly.

"That feeling isn't what you said earlier, Ram," the granny looked straight at her grandson.

"Hmm, maybe I said that I love grandma and Andi?" the young man joked. The grandmother clucked her tongue, but laughed along with her granddaughter.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

Later that night, Rama conveyed what he said to his grandmother this afternoon. He asks Ponco to work in the company's warehouse, his salary will be doubled. "So how? You must be willing, right?" rama asked with a sly smile.

"Actually I prefer to take care of the garden, young master. I know quite a lot about the plant," replied Ponco hoping that the reason could keep him working in this house.

"Two times the salary is not comparable to taking care of plants, Mr. Be.No!" timpal Rama accidentally beheaded the name of Ponco when he called the pseudonym of the man in front of him.

Ponco actually did not want to leave this house, he must always be near the Rama family and sow a rift between them. Half-heartedly, Ponco nodded, accepting the offer Rama had given him. "It's nice to talk to someone who's smart enough" Rama praised with a flat face.

"Thank you for the compliment, young master," replied the polite Poncho.

Rama nodded briefly. "From tomorrow you will work in the warehouse, I will take you there!" break up Rama wants to immediately expel the Poncho.

"I can be alone, young master. I don't want to trouble you!" timpal Ponco looking for a way not to be ushered by the young man in front of him.

"Don't you like it when I drive?" Rama raised his forehead, smiling cunningly at Ponco.

Ponco hid his frustration, the man shook his head quickly. "As I said earlier, I don't want to bother and take up your time, young master," Ponco said in a quick response.

"Ha-ha-ha, all right, I'm just kidding!" rama laughed flatly. "Pack it up, and let you go with the driver when you're ready tomorrow" the young man continued.

"Okay, young master!" said Ponco obediently.

"Then excuse me first, young master," responded Ponco saying retreat very obediently.

Rama smiled faintly looking at the hand of the Poncho who was clenching strongly. Ahh, it seems like the man had enough emotions on him. "You should remain silent like the dead if you survive. Why do you have to come back and appear before me?" rama's murmur was not over thought. As a matter of fact what Ponco was thinking, did they have to face each other again, or did he have to dirty his hands once again. Don't expect him to believe Ponco has no thoughts of taking revenge on him. Don't even think of making a friendship, the world will be destroyed if the two of them are friends. At least that's what Ponco believed and Rama knew very well about it.

"Go as far away from my hard-earned family as I can and protect it. Don't make trouble with the two of them," Rama hissed threateningly as he stayed alone.

......ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ......

"Breng'sek, he used a sneaky way to drive me out! Damn, when I've found a way to stretch their relationship, if this is how, how do I do my plan?" A poncho ran amok inside his room, slamming whatever was nearby.

"I'm going to find a loophole, I can definitely execute the plan that I recently made!" hiss Ponco, a moment later he chuckled softly imagining that he had managed to mess up the extremely haughty young man. Just by imagining it alone had made Ponco smile with satisfaction. Especially if it was all true, he had to try to make everything happen as he imagined.

Poncho packed his things that were not how much, after which he rested and waited for the morning to come. Although he was no longer in this house, the Poncho would make a gap so that he could visit.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

The next morning, Ponco didn't come out of his room at all. When he heard the sound of Rama's car, he came out of the room. He said goodbye to the hostess, Nek Lidya also gave provisions for the man. Home cooking that has been neatly arranged in the bushel and also cash for his needs until his first salary dropped.

"I'm very happy, big lady. Thank you for giving people like me the opportunity to work. I will not forget the kindness of the mistress and always pray that your mistress and grandchildren, the great mistress," said Ponco bowed with gratitude.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal. Work well and stop by often if you have time, huh?" timpal Nek Lidya's. "And, thanks for the do'a!" the old woman continued, grateful that someone was praying for the happiness of her family.

"Then I say goodbye, big lady. Take care of your health" said Ponco bowed once again.

Nek Lidya nodded his head. "Take care of your health too, don't work too hard" replied Nek Lidya chimed. "Who are you taking to the barn?" ask Nek Lidya.

"I can take a bus or public transport, big lady," replied Ponco who still lowered his head.

"Let you take Rama!" nek Lidya said.

"Ahh, young master seems to have left earlier, big madam!" timpal Fast poncho.

"Oh, it seems like my mischievous grandson has class today!" said the old grandmother nodding her head. "Let Andi deliver you," the grandmother dropped out and called Andi. Ponco hid his sneaky smile.

"What's up, Grandma Lidya?" asked Andi who rushed to come because she was called the grandmother.

"You don't have class, do you?" Andi nodded at her grandmother's question. "There's no work either, right?" asked the grandmother again, Andi nodded again. "One more thing, you don't have any outside appointments, do you?" nek Lidya asked as he looked at Andi.

"I have no appointments, no classes, and no more jobs, Grandma," Andi replied to her three questions.

Nek Lidya clapped his hand once. "Good, you're taking Beno to the company. From today he will work in the warehouse" Nek Lidya explained why he called Andi.

"No, big lady. I can't trouble the young master!" ponco pretended to refuse.

"It's okay, uncle. I don't have a job?!" either?!" timpal Andi is full of passion. He took the bag that Poncho had been carrying. "Come, I'll take you!" continue the young man.

"Thank you in advance, young master. Thank you for letting this old man trouble you!" said Ponco looking down short.

"Andi go first, yes Grandma," said Andi walked first.

"I'm very happy, big lady, thank you for everything!" said Ponco lowered a little.

"Be careful on the road, don't speed, An!" nek Lidya reminded.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

In the car, Ponco made small talk again thanking Andi. He also slipped praise that Andi was very, very good, like the great mistress. Ponco hinted that Andi was the biological grandson of the old woman. He hoped that with the words he threw, Andi would be a little suspicious of who his true identity was.

"really? I look like Nek Lidya?" respond to Andi with a carefree face.

"From what I see, you look more like a great mistress than Lord Rama, young master! Perhaps, Lord Rama is similar to the great lord. I've never seen a big master" explained the Poncho at length.

"Perhaps, Grandpa Surya is also sometimes cold," said Andi doubtful of the memory he has. He was closer to Nek Lidya than Grandpa Surya who, though good, rarely smiled.

Ponco nodded his head in understanding, while laughing at the stupidity of this young man beside him in his heart. "So, you and Lord Rama, who look like the two of you? Dad or mom?" tanya Ponco tried to pry Andi's memory.

Andi fell silent, not answering because she was confused what to say. He did not remember anything, even after the years had passed, he still had a blurry memory. "Ahh, I'm sorry if I asked so much, young master. Sorry to offend you?!" ponco pretends to be sorry.

"No, no, it's not uncle's fault. It's just ..., I don't remember anything, so I'm confused how to answer!" reply Andi quickly, he did not feel good enough to make people regret and apologize to him. "All I know is that Rama is the original grandson of the house, and I just went with him to accompany Rama" the young man continued.

Ponco nodded, chuckling inwardly. This young man beside him was indeed stupid to the bones. A little pity, but he could use this fool to become his partner. Especially better than being betrayed by a friend who is considered innocent and innocent, surely Rama will like the gifts he prepares little by little.
