The House of Sora

"Sit .. sorry if my house is far from decent and makes you feel uncomfortable" said Sora invite Ren to sit on a wooden chair with a feeling that is still so hesitant.

But without a doubt, Ren began to sit on one of those simple wooden chairs.

"What do you want to drink? In my house there is only water, but if you want another drink, then I will buy it for you first" said Sora offered.

Whahuh? Buy first? Where would Sora buy? Wasn't it on the way to his house that there were no houses or food stalls? Even this house was very far from the main road. Or is there actually a residential area around here that I didn't go through?

Inner Ren rubbed his tapered bagi with a pair of his firm eyebrows that were furrowed close together.

The answer of course you know, right? If Sora can move quickly, of course, to go to a mini market that is tens to hundreds of kilometers can be occupied very quickly.

"What do you want to drink, Ren?" sora asked again to throw off Ren's daydream.

"Oh. No need to bother. Water alone does not matter." replied Ren quickly because he did not want to trouble and make things difficult for Sora.

"alright. Wait a minute .." said Sora then started to pass.

He knows my name, right? I don't think that strange girl knows it at all. Hhm ...

Inner Ren had unconsciously smiled faintly at Sora's back which was already getting away from him.

Ren began to spread his gaze and began to closely observe the surroundings. Even Ren also started to get back up from his seat to look around Sora's house.

Suddenly Ren began to see a small figura on the wooden table. Inside the figura is a photo of Sora who is still quite young, maybe when he was 15 years old.

Next to him was a more mature young man and we were about 18 years old. On each side of them were both a mature woman and an adult man.

The four of them smiled widely and looked so happy. But the skin of the four of them looked so pale, just like Sora. This made Ren start to think hard.

Are they Sora's family? Then ... does Sora and his family have a history of the same disease? Why does the Sora family look so pale?

Inner Ren guessed.

Not yet had his mind to argue with each other, now Sora has come back with a glass of water and put it on the wooden table.

That's when Ren immediately put the family photo back to its original place and immediately turned back and sat on a wooden chair.

"sorry. But I really don't have any supplies to eat Ren .. I can't treat you well." Sora said feeling disinclined to Ren.

Because after all Ren is his guest at this time, and Sora is also familiar and has learned many things about human life.

"No problem. Do not make this a burden on the mind. I came suddenly. It's not your fault. Thank you .." said Ren kindly and started grabbing the glass of mineral water and sipped it.

"If you may know ... is the photo in the figura your family, Sora?" ren asked as he placed the glass containing half of the mineral water on the table again.

"Yes. They are my father, mother and brother." replied Sora soberly and sounded so heartbreaking.

"Where are they now? Do you live here alone? Both your parents and your brother .. Where are you? I don't see it here." Ren asked very carefully.

Ren had never known if Sora was a girl who lived a kara and had been orphaned piyatu. Ren was not too mengubris scorn of the students and students on the campus when cornered Sora, because at that time Ren did not want to mengubris anything that he did not consider important.

"I live here alone. My parents and my sister have been gone for quite a while" Sora replied sounding so soft and heartbreaking.

"Oh .. I'm sorry. I really don't know about it." said Ren felt guilty for making Sora sad again because he remembered his family.

In fact Ren was still so curious as to why both Sora's parents and older sister died so quickly. But Ren paused his intention back and swallowed back the question.

"They were killed at the same time a crowd came to attack us. I happened to just come home from playing and saw it all, but my mother gestured for me to immediately leave and escape from the village. Until finally, I only live alone" said Sora who suddenly even told his life story to Ren.

To be honest the story from Sora really made Ren feel so shocked. How could those people be so cruel and take people's lives?

"Why don't you report it to the police?" ren asked very carefully.

While Sora just shook his head slowly and was silent for a while.

If the police find out all this, maybe I will also be exterminated by them. Or maybe I'll be exiled as far as possible.

The visibly inner Sora was already extremely helpless.

"Go home, Ren .. The day is getting darker. It would be dangerous if you went home too dark. In this area there are very rarely residents" said Sora worried about Ren.

But the speech from Sora instead made Ren's forehead start wrinkling back. How could Sora even worry about Ren? While Sora himself lived alone in the area? Maybe that was what Ren was thinking at the moment.

"Then what about you, Sora? Do you even live in this house alone? Wouldn't that be too dangerous for you?" sahut Ren with a pair of squeaking eyes looked at Sora.

"This is obviously very different, Ren. I'm used to all this. And I'll be fine." replied Sora soberly.

"alright. I'll be home soon but you have to promise me! You should go back to college and continue your studies!" said Ren suddenly even invited Sora to negotiate.

"That's .. if that's the case .. I can't promise .." said Sora hesitantly.

"All right! Then I'll stay here and not go home!!" ren said deliberately and successfully made Sora a little surprised.

"Eh ... alright! Come home soon .. and from tomorrow I will go to college again." said Sora quickly because he had no other choice.

Because it was very impossible to let Ren stay inside his house for too long, let alone having to let Ren go home on such a late day. That would be very dangerous for Ren.

"All right!! The deal!! Then I'll go home first! See you tomorrow at the college!" said Ren with a face that had started to sparkle.

"Hc. Okay ..." Sora was very forced.

Eventually Ren starts leaving Sora's house. And actually Sora follows Ren to make sure that Ren will always be safe while walking down the lonely road near the forest. Until finally after Ren got a taxi, Sora began to return home.
