The mask.

63.

Rama frowned in wonder as he arrived home. How not, their house was so dark, there were no lights on. "Is Andi not home yet?" rama asked to light the light on his phone. The young man walked slowly towards the light switch, he was grateful that there was light from his phone even though it was not too bright.

"Surprise!!!" the sound of his comrades in unison sounded as soon as the lights were on.

"uh? What's the show?" rama asked confusedly. It's not his birthday, nor is it Andi's birthday. Maybe it's Kiara's birthday or Jo's. But why were the three friends staring at him while smiling so widely like that.

"Something should be celebrated to make a surprise, Ram?" chirps Kiara rolling her eyes lazy.

"It usually is?" rama responded.

"Have not had a long debate, change clothes keep coming down again here. We eat everything we've prepared for you, Ram!" timpal Andi interrupted.

"Yes, not a lot of nanya, sukuri continue to enjoy aja. I'm tired of it all," Jo said.

"Turn buy his style like it's all by himself, Jo," chirped Kiara shook her head, staring lazily at Jo.

"Buy also needs energy and time to choose," said Jo defend himself.

Rama smiled faintly. "I went upstairs first, flipped back again," he said before going to his room. "Oh, and thanks for the surprise. Well, even though today nothing is celebrated," continued the young man before actually leaving.

"An, help me be your brother-in-law!" kiara said seriously.

"Come," decih Andi did not press.

"If you have a fever, take medicine first, gih," Jonathan looked at Kiara's pity.

"What's? Whahuh? What's wrong trying? I'm not lacking anything, the time does not match that of Rama?!" pekik Kiara does not accept being considered sick because she likes Rama again. Ahh, precisely falling in love once again after being rejected first.

"Nothing's wrong, anyway," replied the uncertain Jo.

"Well, there's nothing wrong. So no problem!" kiara said sure.

"But ... does Rama want to be with you?" Andi nodded in agreement with Jonathan's words this time. His best friend has not thought of a relationship, even if he is looking for a partner. Is it a figure like Kiara who will be chosen by his best friend.

"Where is my lack, huh?" kiara said confidently.

"Less, buddy I don't like you, Ra," Andi replied on target.

"Aiss, please don't remind me of that painful reality, An," Kiara put on a sad look.

"What's wrong? How, wasn't the atmosphere like that?" asked Rama who had just come down, he looked fresher after finishing the bath.

"Si Kiara said she wanted to sleep so–," Kiara stomped on Jonathan's feet hard enough, so the young man's speech was cut off.

"So the lawyer's here, Ram!" tukas Kiara origin.

Rama frowned, seeing Kiara and Jonathan alternating. Jonathan was seen stroking his painful legs, while Kiara looked at the young man with bulging eyes. Another with Andi who was busy withholding her laughter.

"What, do you want to take a model like Kiara as a waitress, Ram?" said Andi painstakingly for holding back his laughter so as not to gush out.

"No! Our house may be destroyed" replied Rama bluntly. Finally Andi's laughter exploded, the young man could no longer hold back his laughter which he had endured since.

"Is that bad in your eyes, Ram?" kiara asked with a look as if she was about to cry.

Rama stared lazily at Kiara, she would not be fooled into such a look. "Here you go, he said I was told to hurry down so we can eat everything you BUY!" the word Rama flat, deliberately emphasizes the word buy at the end of his sentence.

"That's right, that's right," Andi excitedly said. "Come, we spent everything we chose for you, Ram!" the young man again dragged Rama and told his friend to sit nearby.

"What exactly is this in order?" rama asked. "What tasks do you guys get perfect grades?" guess the young man looked at the three in turn.

Jo scratched her non-itchy cheeks. "Emm, it's actually Kiara and Andi's idea. I was just following along, "I was the young man looking the other way.

"We will rarely gather because you are busy wearing it, Ram. Well, this we plan to let you get excited again and not feel tired," said Kiara told the reason they held a surprise for his friend this one.

"Yes, you rarely gather now, trus we-we joint venture so you can buy all of this. After no one wants to give up, all want to pay, yes finally came the idea of dividing three all expenses. So, here's a treat from the three of us for you, Ram!" obviously Andi grinned wide.

Rama broke his friend's hair. "Thank you" he said in a warm tone.

"I? I want to?" too?" chirp Kiara brought her head closer, asking to be eluted as well.

"We just start eating" said Rama. Kiara pouted, but still also enjoyed the food they bought together.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

After eating, Kiara, Jo, and Andi sat with their stomachs filled. All three looked lazy to move, so Rama who cleaned the table after they ate. "I didn't see your servants? On where? They didn't stop by because you didn't give them money, did they?" ask Kiara as long as she accuses.

"About, we told them to go home, you know!" Let's meet their families" Andi said, upset by Kiara's accusations.

"Yes, sensi very, anyway. I'm just nanya!" grunts Kiara throwing face.

"In what order? Lebaran not yet, another big day also does not exist, why even repatriated all?" jo asked to know.

"Aunts and all those who work here have not been home for a long time. Even fitting Lebaran sometimes there are still choose to work without returning to their villages. He said he felt sorry if no one helped him run the house. That's why Rama and I agreed to give them a day off now" Andi, Kiara and Jonathan said.

"So no more holidays in Lebaran, is that it?" ask Jo to guess.

"Yes, not that. If they want to go back, go back. Why should it be forbidden to go home?" timpal Andi fast.

"Well, what a kind master," praised Kiara, Jonathan nodded in agreement as he gave his two thumbs up.

"May as well, tuh!" timpal Jonathan agreed.

"I agree" said Andi glanced at his friend, Rama.

Rama who was stared at by his three friends could only sigh deeply. "Well, as tomorrow is the weekend, it doesn't matter if I have fun with you" Rama replied in a lazy tone. Andi screamed happily, Kiara and Jonathan immediately thought of what game the four of them would play.

Finally the four agreed to choose a card game, who loses, his face will be crossed with powder. Of course, Rama did not vote, he agreed with all the games chosen by his friends. At the beginning Rama constantly lost, his face was crossed here and there with powder that has been provided. Once he mastered the game, Rama turned things around. The faces of his three comrades were targeted, victory kept coming towards the young man.

"Ahh, this is cheating, isn't it?" kiara complained for the umpteenth time. His face was already full of scribbles of powder, there was no place left.

"According defeat, you yourself were the one who distributed the card, how did Rama cheat?" timpal Andi defended his friend.

"But Rama lost mulu, but suddenly immediately good at playing it," said Kiara pointed to Rama, not accepting that he was defeated by a landslide.

"Calm down, it's just a game. You don't lose by yourself, Ra," said Jonathan patting Kiara's shoulder softly.

Kiara brushed Jonathan's hand off. "What, anyway?" the girl got more upset.

"You have no intention of going home?" rama asked, glancing at his watch. "Then hour, loh. Ntar wanted the same people home," continued the young man reminded.

"I've never been wanted to go home at any time, Ram," Jonathan smiled.

"I'm lazy back. Can you please stay here?" kiara said with a clear look. "Let me call Grandpa so that my grandfather doesn't worry" the girl continued.

"Me too, me too? I have never stayed at a cement house. If you sleep outside often, anyway," Jonathan pointed his index finger.

"Never sleep, but often sleep outside? Hotel boy like, huh?" chirps Andi stared at Jonathan nosy.

Jonathan nodded without hesitation. "Yup, you're right! One hundred for you, baby the prize is over. So it's just congratulations you get!" timpal Jonathan joking.

"Such a joke?!" andi said grunting annoyedly. Jonathan laughed at the reaction of his friend.

"Can, right Ram?" kiara asked, Jonathan waited with great answers from his best friend on this one.

"Whatever, if you have permission!" break up Rama doesn't mind. Kiara and Jo screamed in excitement, permission from Rama's most important. Permission from their families could follow after Rama allowed them to stay here.

After getting permission by phone, Kiara and Jonathan are escorted to the guest room. Because there were no servants, so everything was done by Andi. If Rama is not expected, after giving permission, the young man locks himself in the room. The reason was of course because there was something he had to check before he went to sleep.

Andi also now it is okay to sleep alone, he no longer too often nightmares after Rama told all. So now Andi chose to sleep in his own room, not to disturb the rest of his friend.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

Rama wakes up in the morning. Although it was a weekend, the young man was already used to waking up in the morning. He cooked a simple breakfast for his three friends who had not yet left the room. Looks like they're still sleeping.

Finished cooking breakfast, Rama took a piece of bread and also a glass of fresh juice. He intended to go around the field, even the young man was difficult to wear a shirt and sports pants. "Where are you going?" ask Andi who just got off. The young man yawned wide despite having taken a shower.

"Sports" answered Rama, tying his shoelaces.

"Ahh, I should have gotten up earlier so I could come along," Andi sighed in regret.

"Tomorrow can still. Breakfast, there. I go first" said Rama before he disappeared behind a high gate in front of his house.

Kiara drowned, looking for the figure she wanted to see in the morning. "Which time?" he said he was still going left and right.

"Sports, around the cake field," Andi replies to enjoy breakfast made by his best friend.

"Wow, is this you cooking?" ask Jo who just joined. "Yet you look down, yes An," continued the young man staring at Andi's joke.

"This is Rama's cooking, don't expect me to make it this beautiful!" I'm Andi honest.

"Ahh, my future imam is multi-talented, yes!" sigh Kiara somehow flew into the dream world which part.

"Then!" ketus Andi snorted in annoyance.

"Wake, mad. In the morning, don't dream of heights. Mending breakfast, yuk can, yuk wake up and face reality!" timpal the Jo looked at Kiara's pity, as if the girl was sick and beyond help.

"Give me both of you!" grunts Kiara threw her face the other way. "Let napa I be happy with my delusion! You guys didn't lose anything?!" the girl continued to pout. A second later Kiara immediately changed her face, she smiled brightly while photographing the results of Rama's cooking. Memories he said, so he could remember that Rama had cooked breakfast for him. Andi and Jonathan shook their heads both helplessly. Looking at his friend who is no longer helped, this is all just because of the virus spread by a handsome prince with a million skills named 'Rama', their own friend.

Rama who did not know anything, even cool to run around the field not far from their home. His body felt a little stiff because it rarely exercised lately. So Rama took the time to exercise this morning. Most take care of the paperwork and sit in the office, making Rama feel old faster than his real age. Although it looks like a lie because Rama looks still very charming and handsome as usual, but that's what the young man felt.

Rama spent an hour running in the field, after resting for some time, the young man decided to return. Before the sun gets higher, and visitors will multiply here.

As soon as he got home, Rama went straight into the room. He took another shower and changed into clothes. "My fool, I've eaten the loving breakfast you made for me!" kiara alay said. The girl even ran towards Rama.

Rama steps aside, reluctant to accept an impromptu hug from his absurd friend this one. Kiara fell to the floor. "Help me up, plisss," said Kiara with a pleading gaze, not forgetting to blink her eyes to look cute in front of Rama.

Rama caught a glimpse, and then he passed away without hugging his best friend. "Ram, Ram, I haven't helped this, baby? Which one?" pekik Kiara tried to attract Rama's attention.

"Can you shut? Or should I get you a dead rat to keep your mouth shut, Ra?" Kiara shook her head quickly, covering her mouth with her own two hands. Rama's threat sounded so frightening, the young man would definitely do as he said in such a flat tone.

"Peace, Ram! Peace out! I was just kidding to make this morning more beautiful," said Kiara timidly, she put on an awkward grin, looking back at Rama who was staring intently at him. Rama nodded while walking away, Kiara let out a long sigh. Jeez, this side of Rama is scary but also looks sexy in his eyes. Ahh, unfortunately Kiara still loves life. He won't mess around some time with Rama, the young man is too scary when he's upset.
