Don't Go, Yohan
The Part 59
Lucy and Yohan enter a house made of woven bamboo, a distrust for this rich girl that there is a house like this. “Yo-yohan this is not a swing cage?”
No offence! Remember Lucy was never even far from her golden prison. The buildings and the lives of the villagers were very common to Lucy, she had only seen for the first time.
Yohan considers it natural to question Lucy. “This is Miss' house, it's enough for both of us.”
When the door opened Lucy was shocked. The messy room everywhere made him take one step back, he doubted the house was livable.
“I will clean it, Miss just wait outside,” said Yohan who understands why Lucy backtracked like that.
“How long do I have to stand?”
There is nowhere to sit, all dirty. Yohan walks past Lucy, until in front of a banana tree, she prunes the leaves to serve as Lucy's seat.
Yohan arranged a few leaves at the entrance staircase, making sure there was no gap for dust to cling to Lucy's clothes. “Sit here, Miss.”
After Lucy sits down comfortably, Yohan goes back in to clean up.

.
Not only did Yohan clean up, but she also washed the cloths and dishes left behind by the previous homeowner. It also took him time to repair the waterways and make a bathroom that was just walled in a charcoal gunny sack.
Lucy's been moving places to watch what Yohan's doing. “This is the bathroom huh?”
“Iya Miss.”
“Only walled sacks? What if someone rips his sack when I shower?”
“You rest easy, it won't happen.”
Yohan is done with all the work. “It's almost night, let's go in.”
Darkened. Maybe because it has been uninhabited for a long time, the electricity in this house is cut off. Yohan turned on the lamp as their light tonight.
“The room is just one, Miss sleep in the room.”
“You?”
“I sleep here only.”
“Hmm ok.”
Lucy opens the room door and then turns to face Yohan.
“What's Miss?”
“Here I put the lamp in the room Miss only.”
Yohan carried the flashlight followed by Lucy behind her. “Good night, miss,” said Yohan walked away leaving Lucy in the room alone.
Two minutes later.
Brak!
“Yohan you can sleep inside,” said Lucy who was in the doorway, obviously if she was afraid.
Yohan follows Lucy's will, but she sleeps on the floor without any pedestal, not even a pillow. There's only one flat bed without a bed, one blanket and one pillow in this house, and that's all Yohan left for Lucy.
Grebek. The sound of frogs is mutually disdainful.
“Yohan what's the sound?”
“Katak.”
“Kok varies?”
Have you ever heard the sound of frogs that are different tones but simple to each other? That's what Lucy heard now.
“Hmm so.”
“You can sleep here!” Lucy sat down while patting her on the bed.
“You sure?”
“Quick!”
Yohan rolled up to go up to the mattress that was not even that wide.
“Ngapain against the back? Face here!” Lucy pats Yohan on the back.
The young man turned around, faced them now. Yohan's heart nearly exploded, Lucy's face so close, afraid she couldn't control herself.
“Jaga me! Don't let the frog ride,” said Lucy staring at Yohan casually.
They sleep on the same mattress, pillows, and blankets until morning. Yohan has to thank the frog tomorrow, thanks to the animal she can sleep comfortably with her star without feeling the cold.
