The Cowardly Yuria

Chapter 8 Is Easier to Talk

Arriving Wednesday because Yuri already has an appointment with Noah he asked permission not to participate in club activities, of course Imel did not mind because he also had to complete the task with his group friends.

When the age lesson how shocked Yuri when he found out Noah always came home with Rapka, as a result along the way they were silent.

"I'll be here first, you go first" Rapka said as they passed the field by the roadside.

Yuri remembered they always met at that place, apparently every time Rapka went home to school always played ball there.

"Hey remember don't push yourself" Noah said with his flat face.

"Let's relax I'll be home before afternoon" Rapka replied with a smile.

"All right, we go first" said Noah.

They also walked back, when Rapka entered the field for a moment Yuri had a glance at him. For the first time he found a sad expression on Rapka's usual face filled with smiles and laughter, of course it made him curious.

"I came home." cried Noah as he opened the door.

"Oh welcome," said a welcoming woman.

"Good day," Yuri said as she slightly sat her head down.

"You must be Noah's friend, he told you yesterday that a friend was coming. Wow... I did not expect this friend Noah semanis," he praised who of course made Yuri die of lice because of embarrassment.

"Let's go in!" take Noah's mom.

"Excuse me," Yuri said stepping in.

They continued to walk up to Noah's room, of course Yuri needed time to enter the men's room. Again in his mind various scenes that occurred in the room of the man he saw in the comics, it made him nervous but fortunately he managed to master himself.

"This is a drink and a snack" Noah's mother said, carrying a tray.

"Thank you" said Yuri.

Noah's mother smiled and left while closing the room door, leaving the two of them behind who made Yuri quite nervous.

"This is all the books I borrowed from the library and some bookstores, I hope we can get the job done quickly," said Noah put a pile of books on a small table next to the bed they were sitting on.

Yuri takes a book but his attention is focused on the photos displayed on Noah's desk, in addition to family photos he also finds photos of Noah with Rapka.

Apparently they have been friends for a long time, it's fitting that they often seem to be together.

Noah began to pick up one book and turn the page, they were so calm and busy with books without any chatter. Occasionally they make a sound just to ask or express an opinion about the task they are working on, apparently so quiet mother Noah to the point of curious and peeking from the door gap.

Without feeling the day is already night, unfortunately their task is still not finished until Noah invites to continue the weekend later.

Apparently Noah entered a baseball club and became a major player so he must always take part in training to develop his talent.

"Where's your house?" ask Noah.

"F Prefecture," Yuri said.

"That's far enough, I'll drive you home."

"No need, I can go home alone" said Yuri who could not walk alone with a man at night, it would keep her heart racing quickly.

But Noah doesn't listen, he drives Yuri on his bike. After saying goodbye to Noah's mother they left.

Dugh

"Aah!" yuri screeched softly as the bike sped across the sizable gravel.

Unexpectedly Noah suddenly took his hand and wrapped it around his stomach, of course it made Yuri even more embarrassed to the point of almost fainting.

"Holding it right," Noah ordered in a flat tone.

Wanting Yuri to arrive immediately and pull her hand back, she could not stand sitting there even though all the way Noah said nothing.

For a moment closed his eyes to calm his heart slowly which he felt was just a gust of wind, so soft and comfortable.

As if stroking every strand of her long hair, opening her eyes then all she found were fireflies flying along that path.

It was so beautiful and so peaceful, it was as calm as the flow of water in the river. Now that his heart had calmed down, Yuri arrived at his house to thank him for bringing him home.

"Do you want to go in first?" ask Yuri.

"No, it's night."

"Alright," said Yuri not want to force.

"Then I go first" said Noah.

Yuri nodded and remained standing there until Noah was lost at the end of the road, entering Yuri's house thinking that maybe he needed a bicycle too.

Buses that only exist until five o'clock in the afternoon certainly limit his movement which is now participating in club activities, if he has a bike he should not worry about missing the bus.

"Um. grandma seems like I want a bike," said Yuri.

"Ah already grandma said you must need it, well tomorrow grandma will buy it for you!" grandma says.

"No need! I'll have mom buy it, " said Yuri not to bother.

"Towards you," replied Grandma.

Yuri immediately sends a message to her mother, if Yuri's real material problems are never lacking. She is the only child while both her parents are working, of course whatever Yuri needs she always gets except attention.

Just a few minutes Yuri sent a message his mother immediately replied that she would send him the money so that Yuri could choose what model bike he wanted, in fact Yuri was more likely that his mother would give him a bicycle.

He doesn't know what kind of bike to buy, so any model doesn't matter. Finally, he still troublesome grandmother by asking her to buy a bicycle.

The next day after the club activities forced Yuri to walk again, passing the field he met again with Rapka who cool himself playing the round skin.

Looking at Rapka he felt like he was looking at someone else, the look on his face was completely different from what he always saw in class.

Every day Rapka always looks cheerful and always smiling, but here her face looks hard as if something is holding her heart.

Dugh

Too focused on researching Yuri's face until he was not aware of the ball being kicked by Rapka rolling towards him, their eyes suddenly clashed with each other.

Yuri immediately lowered her face and ran away, whereas her heart was eager to say hello and chat. I don't know why it feels different to when with Noah, if with Noah he doesn't hesitate to talk and his heart won't beat this loud.
