The Second Ring
Chapter Three Two


Jassper told me what he heard from his mother. Eric was surprised. She didn't think her daughter would tell her own rottenness to her granddaughter, Jassper.


"I'm sorry, Grandpa. Ii'm sorry. If I knew Kenzo was the victim of Papa and Mama's greed, I wouldn't want to be their stuffed toy and wouldn't bother Kenzo" Jassper said.


Eric took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. To be honest he was surprised, the Jassper he had seen all this time couldn't possibly just kneel down let alone beg someone. He asks Jassper to stand up, but Jassper does not want to let go of his Grandpa's legs and hugs him tighter.


"Jassper ... Stand up, son. We're talking sitting down, not like this" Eric said.


The jassper let go of his embrace and slowly stood up. He still looked down with tears in his eyes. Eric felt Jassper looked adorable, but also cassian. This was the first time he saw Jassper crying as long as he saw Jassper.


Eric pulled out Jassper's face and wiped Jassper's tears. He smiled, looking at Jassper.


"Haha ... I saw you cry for the first time like this. It feels like you're really like a kind of kindergarten kid crying for candy" Eric said.


Jassper looked at his Grandfather, "Grandfather isn't upset with me like he was?" Jassper.


Eric smiled, "Indeed you always pissed off your grandfather. But Grandpa is proud of you for admitting your mistakes. Well, then. All you have to do is come to Kenzo and apologize. Will you do that?" eric asked looking at Jassper expectantly.


Jassper nodded his head slowly. He felt he should apologize. Even though Kenzo won't just forgive him.


Eric patted Jassper on the shoulder. He was happy, Jassper wanted to apologize and admit mistakes. Eric also advises Jassper to stop all evil behavior that has been attached. He hopes Jassper can change.


"I'll try, Grandpa. I don't want to follow Papa and Mama anymore" Jassper said.


"Good-good. That's better. Have you eaten? Want to eat with Grandpa?" bargain Eric.


Jassper nodded his head, "Yes, Cake. Mau .. "answered Jassper.


Eric walked out of the room followed by Jassper. They walked to the dinner table for lunch together.


***


The waiter serves the dishes on the dining table. Kenzo and Adelle arrive. The two of them greeted Eric, also slightly surprised upon seeing Jassper.


"Hallo, Grandpa." said Adelle, then hugged Eric's flash.


"Hallo, honey. You and Kenzo ate? Come on, eat with us." take Eric.


Adelle nodded her head, "Yes, Kek." replied Adelle.


Jassper confusion. He just kept quiet because of embarrassment. Feeling guilty, Jassper could not look Kenzo in the face.


Seeing Jassper's strange movements, Kenzo asked. Is Jassper sick? or is there something uncomfortable?


"Where are you, Jassper?" ask Kenzo.


Jassper was surprised, "Ah, ti-nothing. Just a little uncomfortable" replied Jassper.


Adelle looked at Jassper. He felt Jassper was weird. His attitude, the look in his eyes, as if frightened and agitated.


"He why? seeing Kenzo is like seeing a ghost, "Adelle's inner self.


Eric knows why Jassper is so weird. He also wanted to use Kenzo's challenge. I want to spend some time with Jassper and Kenzo.


"Adelle, after eating. Want to accompany Grandpa for a walk? there's something Grandpa wants to tell you" Eric asked, staring at Adelle.


"Yes, Grandpa." replied Adelle.


Jassper stole a look at Kenzo. He was confused as to what he should get later. For sure he will apologize first and admit the mistakes he has made.


***


Papa and Mama Jassper had a fight. Papa Jassper is upset that his wife told Jassper what really happened.


"Are you crazy? think before you speak." jolted Papa Jassper.


"Why are you angry just because I told Jassper? he's an adult and I think he deserves to know too." replied Mama Jassper.


"What if he changes his mind. It could be that he will later oppose our words," said Papa Jassper.


"That's better, than she keeps getting stuck like us. It's just you and me like this. Jassper, that kid can't be like us" Mama Jassper muttered.


An upset Papa Jassper also ravaged the entire workspace. He asked his wife to leave her office. He was so upset that it felt like he wanted to destroy his study. He is disappointed in his wife, as she tells Jassper about what happened to Kenzo's parents.


Jassper's son, now knows the rottenness of Papa and Mama. And he was worried that Jassper would change his mind, no longer willing to listen.


Papa Jassper took a cell phone. He tries to contact Jassper, but Jassper's phone is off. He tried several times, and still ended up unable to contact Jassper.


***


Jassper and Kenzo sat in the living room. Kenzo seems to be busy playing with cell phones. Probably because I was busy with work. Jassper called Kenzo and asked Kenzo for a minute to talk.


"Ken .. Can we talk to you for a minute?" ask Jassper.


Kenzo shifted his gaze from the mobile phone to the Jassper sitting opposite him. Kenzo immediately put his phone on the sofa by his side. He wanted to know what Jassper was talking to him about.


"Yes, say. What's up?" asked Kenzo to look at Jassper.


Jassper was silent for a moment, then spoke. He immediately apologized to Kenzo for his actions so far. He admitted his mistake and promised not to repeat his mistake.


Deg ...


Kenzo frowned hearing Jassper's words. He felt that Jassper was strange and that in front of him was not the Jassper he knew.


"Are you sick? or is there something?" ask Kenzo curiously.


Jassper looked at Kenzo, "Don't ask me why. I pleaded guilty and apologized. Whether you want to forgive or not is your right. I am aware of my outrageous actions, to the point that they often endanger your life. I regret it, Ken. And it won't happen again. I vouch for it with my own life" Jassper said seriously.


Kenzo feels Jassper is getting weird. He was worried, something bad had happened to Jassper.


"Actually why is he?  can't she be bumped or is she seriously ill?" inner Kenzo guessed.


Jassper said he had no idea Kenzo had been living a difficult life. He who is always envious, tries to fall Kenzo in a whole way. His actions were an act of childishness and cowardice.


"You I knew from the beginning. Maybe I'll never hurt or trouble you, Ken. Ii'm sorry. I'm really sorry for you." said Jassper with teary eyes to cry.


Kenzo is not. He stood up and moved his seat to the side of the Jassper. Kenzo patted Jassper on the shoulder. He tells Jassper to calm the heart and mind, because Jassper looks not okay.
