The mask.

61.

It's been two days Rama and Andi took turns cooking. For lunch, they chose to buy food outside. Apart from being both busy, the two of them did not have time to eat together.

"For a drink, dong," said Andi when he just came home, looking very tired.

"Who did you do?" rama asked for a glass of warm water.

"Main ball," replied Andi with a breath of breath. "Nothing cold what?" the young man asked in protest, but still drained the water his friend had given him.

"Drink aja, can not drink a lot of cold water," replied Rama.

Andi pouted, but did not protest anymore. "Tumben's back at this hour?" andi said glancing at the wall clock.

"There is no schedule, I have finished everything" Rama replied.

"Finally, I don't have to have lunch alone today" Andi said in a grateful tone. Rama smiled faintly, continuing to cook what the young man would cook. After cooking, the two ate voraciously.

"What's the name of this dish, Ram?" andi asked her to put food in her mouth.

Rama shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Don't know, it doesn't matter the name, the important thing could be the side dish" Rama replied.

"As this cook, you have to give me a name, dong," Andi said.

"As long as it's delicious," said Rama quickly. Andi chuckled, what kind of name is that. "Don't most babble, ntar chokes new to know!" rama reminded me. Andi nodded her head, closed her mouth and no longer laughed. He was just busy chewing without speaking anymore.

After the meal, Andi offered to wash the dishes they used. Running around with his affairs with the dishwasher, Andi joins up with his friend. Rama looks busy arranging the pieces, dessert he said. "Let's know I want to eat fruit" Andi chirped one of the dishes.

"Why didn't you eat that?" said Rama flat.

"Lazy peeled himself, he-he," Andi's grin confessed.

"Basic," Rama replied shaking his head.

"Oh yeah, An. If someone has done something wrong and the mistake is big, you can still give the same person a chance?" rama's mouth first asked without knowing how his friend responded. This is because his best friend is becoming more frequent nightmares, and the dream is feared Rama will be a trigger his friend to get his memory again.

"Depending, what kind of harm and how sincere he apologized," Andi replied back to put the fruit in his mouth.

"The lie that made the person he lied to get another identity?" Andi fell silent, looking straight at his friend. It was a little strange for his friend to ask something like this.

Andi scratched his cheek. "Well, if it is, I don't know if I can give you a chance or not. But if people apologize and admit wrong, there may still be a chance. Maybe?" andi said doubtfully. "Why are you talking about this, anyway?" ask Andi not understand. "You don't usually say anything unimportant, do you?" continue the young man again.

Rama shrugged his shoulders lightly. "It's just that, so if I'm guilty, I can apologize a thousand times as much as you go forward" Rama replied in a flat tone.

"Someone Rama did wrong? Can't be trusted?!" andi rolled her eyes like it was impossible that her best friend would never do.

"Listen, An. I have a lot of things you don't know. I have a side that I don't want to show, and I have a lot of faults, especially you!" rama's voice was too serious, so Andi did not know how to respond.

"Here, I'm full. Want to go around the park first to help digest the food my hand ate earlier," said Andi fled. He was confused, the young man could not respond appropriately.

"I'm sorry, yeah, An!" rama said with a smile.cowardly.

Andi raised both of her thumbs in response. "Sure, I have a lot of stock sorry for you, man!" reply Andi chuckled softly.

Rama looked at Andi who went away, he smiled bitterly. "Maybe even if you use them all, it's not enough to forgive all the mistakes I've made you!" rama's sigh raised his head, staring at the ceiling with a face of despair.

Rama wants to confess, Rama wants to be honest about everything. Rather than her friend getting a picture of all those dreams, it was better for her to say it all. Just say this to himself, so that his friend doesn't hate him too much. "I should have confessed earlier," said the young man sighing tiredly.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

Rama walks casually in the park, enjoying the various flowers that were once very liked by his late grandmother. The young man was kicking a small stone that was visible in front of him. "Why should you talk about mistakes?" gerutu Andi did not understand the behavior of his friend.

Before long the young man frowned confusedly. "Am I wrong, so I don't realize, and I'm not sorry, huh?" muttered Andi thinking about what mistake he was doing, he tried and kept trying to remember. Unfortunately, Andi can't remember that he ever made a mistake with his friend.

"No matter what, I'll apologize to Rama!" andi said confidently.

The young man went back inside, he saw his friend staring blankly at the ceiling, Andi was increasingly convinced that he had made a mistake but he forgot what it was. "Ram, Ram, I'm sorry, okay? I don't know where I'm wrong or what, but I'm sorry I honestly forgot I ever did anything wrong!" I Andi cupped her palm while closing her eyes.

Rama looked over, looking at his best friend with a guilty look. "I should be the one apologizing, An. Not you" said the young man bitterly. A tone you never heard at all.

"Ram, Ram? You're no longer welcome, are you?" asked Andi hesitated, a little afraid that what he said was true happened.

"I realize, An," Grunts Rama rolled his eyes lazily.

Rama was silent, did he have to say it now. Can't he just shut up, but he just wants to be friends without being suspected by his friend. If Andi remembered himself, surely the young man would hate him. Rama could make a new lie if he also does not remember anything, but until when the lies and lies will survive. He wanted to feel at ease and be friends from his heart, not because of a lie.

"I take your place" said Rama with a wry smile, ready if he should be hated by his friend for confessing suddenly.

Andi fell silent, thinking for a while before he flicked his finger as if understanding. "Ahh, did you take my seat, did you?" said Andi.

Rama shook his head slowly. "Position, family, name, everything, all of this should be yours" I Rama looked seriously at his friend.

Andi chuckled in disbelief at the words of his friend. "Stop joking, this is not very funny, Ram," the young man warned.

"I'm serious, I can say it over and over again if you still don't want to believe. I can tell you from the beginning, I will also apologize as much as you want for the rest of my life!" reply Rama without blinking.

"Why new now? Grandpa and Grandma are gone!" andi asked, the youth's cheer was gone, replaced with a cold tone. It seemed like the way her friend spoke swapped her because she felt betrayed and angry. "Is it because of the inheritance?" andi asked an annoyed grunt.

Rama shook his head. "I don't even care about that. I'm just tired of having to keep cheating, I want us to be friends more sincerely" Rama said.

"I don't know, I don't understand, I don't understand at all!" moo Andi rubbed his face rough.

"And I can tell you everything you want to know from the beginning!" timpal Rama, the young man began to tell stories. Where did he come from, how did he get to this city. When he helped Andi, the way he lied, all the young men told me without being covered up in the slightest.

Andi chuckled softly. "Crazy, is this a story in novels? Or the television drama we used to watch with Nek Lidya?" andi asked with a wounded look. "I don't know how to respond to this, Ram?!" a tear fell on the young man's cheek, quickly the young man wiped it off.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do but say sorry, An," said Rama with a bowed face.

"Don't see me for a while, Let me digest everything I've heard this time," Andi decided to be alone for a while.

"Don't do anything weird, An. Just get angry if you are angry, slap, hit, or throw me out. But don't hurt yourself, "pinta Rama is serious.

"Don't set me up like you care?!" yelled Andi clenching his hands tightly.

"But I do care" Rama replied softly.

"Huh, and you want me to believe?" andi's snort was upset. "After all the lies you've done? No kidding?!" the young man threw his face in another direction.

Rama laughed bitterly. "You're right, I'm an unbelievable sinner. So, can I just disappear?" rama said with a tired tone. "I'll apologize every day, but we don't have to meet for that, do we?" continue the young man again.

"Be aware that you dare to disappear and run away! Don't expect me to apologize?!" threaten Andi before she goes into her room. "I'm just asking for time, not to tell you to disappear!" the young man shouted a little louder.

Rama smiled wryly, he was ready to lose everything. But his friend gave him a second chance. What they can be friends like before, like when Rama has not admitted the mistakes he made to Andi, his best friend. "Use as much time as you want, An," muttered Rama resignedly. He was wrong, he was ready to accept whatever his friend's decision would be

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

Andi slammed her body onto the mattress, she heaved a heavy sigh. Before long, the young man chuckled. However, his demeanor sounded very pitiful. "I was deceived, only I was sincere. I'm the only one who wants to help, I'm the only one who's stupid here!" andi said wiping her cheeks. He is a very sensitive person, even watching dramas he often cries, what else is he lied to like this. Of course he must be feeling very sad.

"Is that why I always have nightmares?" muttered the young man remembering lately his nightmares are increasingly frequent. "Maybe that's also why Rama would bother accompanying me, huh?" andi chuckled again.

"I hate myself for not being able to forgive my best friend right away, but I hate feeling so upset about being lied to like this" Andi let out a long sigh. "Don't know, ah. I'd better get some sleep!" said the young man trying to close his eyes. He chose to sleep in his own room, whatever if he would have a nightmare, he would not die from such a dream either.

As with Rama, the young man could not close his eyes. Apart from guilt, he was also worried about his best friend. Finally, the young man decided to wait in front of Andi's room. So, if there's anything with her friend, she'll come right away. Well, who knows how bad the dream that friend will experience tonight.

Early in the morning, Andi was a little surprised to see his friend sleep sitting in front of his room. It seemed like last night his friend was waiting for him, Andi was a little touched, but an apology would not be that easy to get. Andi melengos left without waking Rama, he chose to leave for campus. Breakfast problems he can buy in the cafeteria later, the point is he is lazy to meet with his friends for now. Just tell him he's a coward, Andi doesn't care. He just wanted to throw away all the anger and disappointment he felt at this moment. After that, he will only talk to his friends when he is calmer. Be better prepared to listen without emotions that will make things worse.

"Why face?" said Kiara poking Andi's cheek. "That's it?" the girl continued astonished. "Ahh, don't-don't not have a task yet, huh?" guess the origin while giggling.

"There's a bit of a problem," Andi replied in a lazy tone.

"What? Tell me, who knows I can help. Although not helping me, I can be a good listener and your heart is lighter for sure if it's a story," Kiara pulled her seat to be closer to Andi.

"Free, there will be no use either," complained Andi threw away his face, reluctant to tell anyone.

"Where do you know that you haven't ventured," insisted Kiara increasingly curious. What makes a cheerful young man like Andi to bend his face like this.

"Lazy!" ketus Andi still choose silence. "Here, don't ask any more questions. The more sprained I am, you know?!" andi continued to leave Kiara who gawked alone.

"Woi, I'm paying attention, you know! Not kepo or what?!" kiara shouted in disbelief. What a part he can not be trusted, so that his best friend does not want to tell the problems he faced. Ahh, just thinking about it made Kiara go along upset. "May your problems not be solved!" as Kiara was upset, the girl hit her feet so bad herself.
