METAL CHILD BALLad
NAME IN PAINTING

"All right, Grandma and Grandpa. We're leaving now. Goodbye everyone!" Alexi said as he walked away. He did not want to continue to dissolve in the atmosphere that would make it even harder to leave the place.

"Oh yeah, Grandma. Please take care of my room and all its contents, also do not let strangers enter freely let alone touch the objects inside it carelessly!" Alexi told his grandmother. The young man drew his face close to the side of the grandmother's ear and whispered, "If anyone dares to ruin my paintings, then I will kill him myself!"

"Alee!" Ni Sendari was suffocated in shock. How could this spoiled and adorable granddaughter of hers suddenly be like turning into the most ruthless murderous figure before her. "What are you saying, Alee?" 

Alexi himself smiled softly afterwards. "That's just my message, Grandma."

Ki Surya Praja felt very astonished at the attitude of the two, but the old man did not bother about anything about them. He knows enough about the habits of the grandson who often changes every time.

"Bye, Grandma! Bye, Yokeeek!" Alexi stepped over as he waved his hand which was still wrapped in bandages.

"Abraham!" alexi exclaimed as he stepped out towards the courtyard, where Segara, Danny Hendrat and the elite guards of the Sanca Silver Sect had been waiting.

"Ready, Young Master!" Abraham immediately followed Alexi Nata Praja, the young master of the Silver Sanca Sect who always lived in inner pressure.

"Good way, my granddaughter!" exclaimed Ki Surya Praja who also waved his hand. His old face looked a little sad, but he could not keep his little grandson from hiding behind his back.

"He must be able to deal with his own problems. If it continues to pamper him, it will also not be a favor to him one day" whispered the old man's heart.

"Be careful, Aleeee!" Ni Sendari also exclaimed after managing to overcome her surprise. He stared at the granddaughter's back with a heavy feeling in his heart.

"Yes, Neeek! Keeek!" yelled Alexi Nata Praja from a distance. The young man did not want to show the tears that had soaked his cheeks.

A man with tear marks may sound whiny and weak, but it is also not forbidden. A man is still made up of flesh and blood that binds bones. A man still has a heart made not of iron or steel.

A man also has the right to shed tears to ease the burden of his feelings a little. Isn't that better than being crazy by a pile of inner pressure? Nor can a cry be considered a weakness. One even needs an impingement even just by crying.

Stay a lonely married couple as a result of being left behind by the grandson. Although they had several sons, they both had two grandchildren from their second son Nata Praja.

"Sit down first, Kakang!" Ni Sendari led her husband to sit on an ancient rattan chair. Ki Surya Praja also only complied with the invitation of the wife.

Now they sit side by side accompanied by warm tea and some kind of favorite snack Ki Surya Praja.

Ni Sendari's face looks a little gloomy because it was left by the only grandson who could not be sure of his return. The woman recalled Alexi's message to guard the room and its contents, especially her favorite paintings.

"The boy really just wanted to protect those things" murmured the old woman who still looked beautiful. "Saking unfortunately on the items that he considered special, he didn't allow anyone to touch him."

"What thing?" Ki Surya Praja asked. "Does our granddaughter keep any valuables in her room?"

"Right, Kakang," Ni Sendari replied as she poured hot tea from the pot into the cup and handed it to her husband.

"It's just a painting, he's protecting it with a soul and body bet. It seems like it is an object that is very privileged once by him," said Ki Surya Praja with astonishment. "What is the mystery in the painting?"

Ni Sendari smiled faintly and replied, "That's because the painter is a girl he likes."

"Oooh, it's worth it." Ki Surya Praja beards while stroking his beard. Suddenly, the old man was surprised. "What's? A girl he likes?"

Of course the old man was shocked by the words of his wife. Ki Surya Praja originally thought, if Alexi likes the Garrison that has been betrothed with Alexi.

"Why was Kakang surprised?" Ni Sendari looked at Ki Surya Praja. "Ale does like other girls. I've seen it quite by accident."

The woman recalled that while Alexi was asleep, she picked up her grandson's cell phone that had fallen on the floor. Ni Sendari saw a phone call from the number using the name 'Zain Kamila Darling' on the screen of the grandson's mobile phone.

From then on, the woman secretly watched Alexi and often saw her granddaughter talking and joking with her own laughter in her room. Ni Sendari also found the name in a painting that was very guarded by the grandson.

"The names in the paintings are exactly the same as the names on Alexi's phone. Apparently the boy liked the other girl and did not like the princess of the White Cloud Sect at all." Ni Sendari breathed a long breath. "According to Kakang, how?"

Ki Surya Praja blew the hot tea water and looked like he was not thinking at all. The old man simply replied, after successfully sipping his favorite bitter tea.

"Whoever is the girl Ale likes, then I will support her." Ki Surya Praja does not like coercion. Although he had once done an alliance marriage to Nata Praja, but the man did not force and give up entirely to the child.

"Then, what about the girl?" asked Ni Sendari as if to herself. "If it could be undone, it would certainly be better than Ale being depressed and would only hate his wife one day."

"I think so too, Nimas. But with Nata's stubborn nature, will he be willing to accept our thoughts?" Ki Surya Praja took a deep breath. "All he thought about was that Sanca Silver had the strongest position in the martial arts world, even his son he made an exchange."

"Happiness of his son he put aside just for the sake of pursuing the ambitions and promises of the White Cloud Sect. Nata did not think about how his own son's mental state was!" Ki Surya Praja was very disappointed. "If there's nothing we can protect and guard his feelings, maybe he's somehow done."

"Rear right, I think his departure this time was also to avoid the Garrison. He even kept chasing after Alexi even though he was ignored every time." Ni Sendari shook her head.

"I was worried, Nimas. I'm afraid if the marriage continues, it's unlikely to end well." Ki Surya Praja felt anxious about the things he could feel in the future about the grandson. "Everyone needs love and affection. So too with the boy. If the girl whose name is in the painting can make him happy, then blessing the relationship is the best choice."

"The back is right. Alexi we love that girl so much and she even calls it affection." Ni Sendari did often hear Alexi talking in a spoiled tone with Zike through the phone line.

"In that case, I will look for information about him" Ki Surya Praja said.

"seek it?" Ni Sendari asked.

Someone from behind the door who was listening to the conversation of the two also felt shocked. "seek it?"

...Seriate...
