Bab 109: Long Live

"Why are you so quiet today Mason?" Isabella asked him as she was noticing he looked sad and was quiet all the way back home. 

"It's nothing Tuanku, I am just missing my grandfather." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. 

His heart was unusually sad today and he thought about his lost family after years. He forced himself to forget everything but he can't rip off his heart which still ached for them even though he wished he could. 

"Your grandfather? You never talked about him before." She looked at him from the corner of her eye. She didn't want to press any sore spot but at the same time, she wanted to know about him. She wanted to know his story. 

"He took care of me after my parents passed away." He told her without any emotion coming to his face but the amount of pain those memories brought was unbearable. 

He went back to the time when he was a little kid of ten or eleven years old.
