Twice the ceremony has passed, which is 20 days after the incident in which Ken's grandfather died.
After the incident, Ken now lives alone in his home, he continues to work in ramen shops to fulfill his daily life, not infrequently also because he is lazy to cook himself, he said, Ken always stopped by Chio's house during the day just to hitchhike a meal, which sometimes made Chio a little upset, but, Ken always had a way for Chio to accept his presence, that is by bringing ramen from the store to be eaten together.
Sometimes Ken also invites Chio to stop by Shiro's house to launch the action, several times successfully, because his father and mother are good people, only Shiro sometimes drives them away when his mother does not see, because his father and mother are good people, but again Ken always had a way, he sometimes borrowed items belonging to Shiro's father and always returned at noon, so he got a slap to be invited to eat together.
Shiro has always been their obstacle, even though he is a very rich person, only he is very stingy towards Ken and Chio, who are very wealthy, to the point that he deliberately ate earlier so that when Ken and Chio came to the house he could immediately take them away.
After his grandfather dies, Ken also becomes a different person, now he turns into a person who does not care about all the residents, it is because of those who turned out to not care when his grandfather was lost, they were all indifferent and only selfish, from that moment on whenever Ken saw the troubled person in front of him or asked him for help, he was the same, that is indifferent and not caring.
That day Chio was taking a walk with him. "How do you do at the ramen shop?" ask Chio.
"As usual, it's tiring, then what about the stuff you made, is it done?" ken asked back.
"Well .. a little more, I'll show you later."
At that time a man was limping in front of the road they were going through, Chio immediately ran over. "Here Uncle let me help you walk home."
"Ah don't need me to be alone, my legs just sprained," he replied with a smile.
"Curtain!" ken said as he turned away, but was heard by Chio.
"What's up Ken?"
"Ah no, it seems like I should go home soon, I missed something." she replied reasoned and left immediately, while Chio stared in surprise.
On the way home Ken even passed by some thugs who were hammering someone, the man was alone with himself in a narrow alley of the road to the house.
At that time he walked away without paying attention to them, there was not even the slightest intention to help the person, his nature that actually attracted the attention of the thugs.
"Wah wah .. there is another victim, how are our friends if we also saw him," he said while blocking Ken.
"Don't be a boss mending us make friends, from his attitude alone indifferent, is not as bad as all of us," replied one of them.
"Waduh .. evil kok proud aha ha ha .." another exclaim invited laughter.
"That's Ken's boss, he beat Guni to pieces" said one of Guni's friends.
"Oh so he's the guy, cool too, can we play together later" replied the boss.
"Listen-heard that grandpa's boss he's dead because he fell on a cliff, some say it's all because of Ken who always scolded him, so it makes him unable to stand and commit suicide," just scream another one.
"Then we have to make him the boss's friend."
Their words left Ken bowed and so angry that he clenched his hands, but what the thugs said also made him realize that everything was his fault.
"Great as well as you, it's natural that you do that, what else is your grandfather who is senile and rich crazy people right," said the boss.
"Be quiet you useless thug!" The words made Ken go up and immediately punch the thug boss face to fall down.
"Bad! what are you waiting for just beat him up!" shouted his boss while holding blood on his nose, to give orders to his silent men froze.
They immediately ran to beat Ken alone to the point of making him crouch on the ground withholding every punch and kick, while the man who was being bitten just took the opportunity to escape from them, Ken also saw it at that time, when the look on his face wanted to run away and had no intention of helping at all.
Ken's reckless nature and can't hold back his emotions anymore and again just make him hurt, lucky that by chance Ayumi was passing in the alley to get to Ken's house.
"Bosses, see if anyone walks here, if he sees us doing this, then he can report to the elders, we will be punished boss. Let's all get away we gotta run!" yelling at one of them made them all stop and run away.
Ayumi also saw those who were running around leaving someone tickled.he tried to pay attention to who the tickled person was.
"Ken!" yelled Ayumi immediately running over.
"What are you doing Ken, is never enough for you to make trouble!" his yell.
Ken just kept quiet did not answer, occasionally he coughed because of a few blows to his stomach.
"Let's go home soon so I can clean his wounds" said Ayumi while helping him stand up, despite a bit of distress, but Ayumi managed to take him.
Arriving at Ken's house, Ayumi tells him to sit in the guest chair and can only clean his wounds with warm water, occasionally Ken whines in pain.
Hearing Ken's voice like that actually made him even more upset over what Ken did.
"How hurt?" ayumi said mockingly.
"Well a little" replied Ken whining.
Hearing the answer made him even more upset, so touching his wound violently made Ken shout loudly.
"Adudududuhh .. Slow down Ayumi!"
"Are you never deterred, you're always like this, your nature is so much to change!"
"Which one?" ask Ken easily.
"Hishh .. You are weak, not strong, stupid, brave, angry, emotional, rash, useless, useless, trouble me, always bother me, you make me anxious, you make me anxious, worry, complain, grieve, worry, fear, why do you always scare me Ken!" she screamed in tears.
The roaring of all Ayumi's ramblings made her flinch and go silent in silence. "Ken ... I want you to change, I don't want to see you hurt again, I beg Ken!" continued.
Hearing Ayumi crying begging him instead made him smile and laugh a little while looking down.
"Why are you laughing!" said Ayumi feeling astonished and pouting.
"No, it's nothing" he replied, holding a smile.
"I said what!" ayumi shouted and pinched Ken's thigh.
"Aw aw aw aw .. alright let go of this very sick first!" yelled Ken then Ayumi let go of the pinch.
"I'll be willing to hug you if you've changed!" ayumi replied as she turned away pouting.
"Ha ha .. I'm just kidding Ayumi, thanks for always worrying about me, I promise to change and not do this again."
"True, you have to promise," Ayumi replied raising her pinky.
"Well .. promise," replied Ken hooking their pinky.
"Oh yeah, why are you bringing flowers?" ken asked after seeing some flowers lying on the table.
Ayumi took the flower and placed it on her forehead. "I want to take you to the cliff to pray for grandfather, this has been twice the ceremony we did not go there."
"You're right, after that incident, I became very busy working in the ramen shop, not without reason, I just wanted to forget a little bit what I had done to the jack," he replied turning sad.
"Had Ken .. It's not your fault, we're all wrong for not paying too much attention to grandfather, so he can get out of the house and get lost, we all don't even know how to know about it," the answer was comforting, but Ken was still sad.
"How about we now go to the cliff, there we can pray grandfather and talk while looking at the outside."
"Emm .. well, of course I want, what else is alone with you he he .." replied Ken sumringah, while Ayumi she laughed at the look on Ken's strange face.
Along the way the two of them were endless joking and chatting until they had unknowingly reached their destination.
Ken also walked up to his grandfather's wand which he had planted and placed the flowers Ayumi gave him, after which the two of them stayed and bowed together for a moment.
After the jam, Ken sat down near the stick and told Ayumi to sit next to him.
"Have you ever thought about getting out of this country and starting a new life in a country of people you might meet?" ken asked to start a conversation while looking at the beautiful outside world.
"What do you mean?" surprised answers.
Ken smiled and looked at her. "I was constantly thinking about all that, what else after grandfather's departure."
"What makes you think so, isn't this where you grew up?"
"You are right this is where I grew up, but it was also thrown away and abandoned by my parents, all of it is very beautiful in this country, but both the residents are very stupid and heartless people, they are all useless people!" ken replied full of anger and hatred.
"Do you know how the rules in our country that don't allow people to leave this country unless they ask permission, you know, everything is just nonsense" Ken continued to feel angry.
"Are you sure you really want to get out of here, you also know what the legendary story in our country is about the outside world?"
"Well I know everything, but it won't dampen my steps, I've made up my mind."
Suddenly Ayumi stood in front of him and in front of the stick that Ken was sticking. "Then what's the reason you want to do that" Ayumi shouted.
Ken looked up at him. "I'm sorry Ayumi there are so many reasons I can't tell you," she replied, then lowered her head.
"If so then I should come with you!" ayumi replied firmly.
"Are you sure you want to come with me, it won't be easy."
"Well, I'm sure!"
"Alright, but I won't always be able to protect you."
"You think you're strong, heh .. where might I take refuge from a useless person like you."
Ken laughed at once. "Aha ha ha .. Your face is serious, you look ugly," Ken replied laughing.
Hearing Ken's words made him angry and upset. "Did you say I'm ugly, just stop that rotten laugh of yours!"
"Aha ha ha .. can't, this is really funny aha ha haa ..."
Ayumi was speechless again she was very upset and angry to see Ken laughing at her. "Ahh... come on!" he said he turned sullen and turned and put his feet down.
Ken simply closed his watery eyes as he could not help but laugh. "Aha ha .. well forgive me .." he said he opened his eyes to see Ayumi who was pouting, but just widened his eyes when he saw Ayumi fell along with the ground that collapsed.
It was because of the stick that stuck in the ground, he could no longer bear the burden of Ayumi when standing right at the end of the cliff.
"Ajumi ...!" ken shouted at the instant he caught Ayumi's hand and succeeded him.
"Ken please save me. .. I'm so scared," pinta Ayumi's tearful divorce is hanging on the edge of the cliff.
"Hold on Ayumi, I will save you, quickly hold on to my shirt and shoulders!" pinta Ken who is laying low.
Ken tried to lift Ayumi's body so that his hand could reach Ken's shoulder and shirt, Ayumi managed to hold it.
"Now crawl and hold on to my body and try to go up," Ken asked again who continued to push up while he was actually getting down facing the swift flow of the river.
Ayumi almost managed to climb up and could move one foot, but she slipped so much that Ken would not want to pull her hard up quickly, but Ken was the one who fell down.
"Ken ...!" yelling Ayumi managed to climb onto the cliff and immediately turned to face the stream, just that there was not the slightest sign of Ken's existence, he simply vanished.
The loudness of the river flow made him hear nothing, Ken seemed to disappear just carried away by the swift flow of the river under the cliff filled with rocks.
"Ken!" yelled Ayumi as she heard tears.
The atmosphere that afternoon was now a silent witness to Ken's disappearance did not know where, he was lost along with his grandfather in the same place.
The sound of Ayumi's cry sounded extremely loud, making the person who heard it feel a tremor in the heart. Ayumi's sobbing voice sounded heart-wrenching resounding, that feeling could only be felt by Shiro who was stunned silent staring at everything from behind the tree.
He could do nothing to help when he saw Ken fall off a cliff clearly in plain sight.
