The House Without Doors

Chapter 14

"Yes buy ice cream first yuk!" bring Saga.

"Go home Ga. Don't waste money. How much are you going to buy a book."

"Eskrim doang Sya."

"Yes already. Okay." Okay."

Yasya resigned this time. Saga made him happy today. But still in his heart he wished that there would be no more days when Saga came into his life.

They walked to the nearest minimarket to buy ice cream. Yasya chose chocolate ice cream while Saga chose vanilla flavor, after which they walked over to the cashier and paid.

"Mba. Add this one chocolate," said Saga while carrying the chocolate in front of the cashier's desk.

Smbil walked towards the stop, they were both busy licking each other's ice cream. But Saga is not that busy, he still had time to disturb Yasya who was expecting calm.

"Yes, would you like some vanilla?"

"No! I was licked like that! Slovenly!"

"Yes is broken. I bought it again" said Saga, who was about to turn around but was immediately detained by Yasya.

"That's okay. This is not abis either. Don't like scattering money!"

"Yes. Where are we going?"

"I went back to the cafe again. If you go home!"

"We'll eat yuk Sya first?"

"Ga. It's already lo. I wasted a lot of time."

"Once."

"Once in your life it means many times, Ga."

"Hehe."

"Udah home! Go home! Go home!" said Yasya who immediately pulled Saga's hand.

Until they sat at the stop, Yasya kept holding Saga's hand unconsciously. While looking left and right, his hand still locked Saga's hand. And of course it was left alone by Saga.

"This.... What does it mean?" saga asked as she raised her hand which was held by Yasya tightly.

With a gust of Yasya releasing his hand, he misbehaved and turned his beautiful face in the opposite direction to Saga. When the bus came, he immediately got up and stood his back to Saga who was facing him.

"Yes.." call Saga. But Yasya didn't care about it.

"Yes!"

"Hey!"

"Nih chocolate!" Saga pointed the chocolate she had bought before Yasya's face.

"Why are you given to me?"

"Because I don't like chocolate. I love vanilla."

"Let's not eat the chocolate and continue to be given to the elo," Yasya did not respond to what with Saga's speech just now. "Yes. If you don't want to, I'll follow you until you get the chocolate" whispered Saga.

Forcibly, Yasya brought the chocolate in front of him. But that's not what he accepted. He just didn't want Saga to keep following him. After the chocolate he took, Yasya gave it to a little boy who was sitting with his mother. The boy accepted happily. While Saga, he is disappointed but feels happy too because Yasya surprises Saga with his attitude.

***

This time, Saga. He did not follow Yasya. Yasya was quite relieved of that. Eventually the pests in his life can disappear as well. May it be lost forever. Carrying the bag containing the two books that had been purchased, Yasya returned to the cafe and continued his work that had been interrupted.

***

Yasya had just returned home the night after the cafe closed. He worked until he finished because he had asked permission to leave. Today was really exhausting. After getting off the bus he remembered that he had not cooked at home. Dimas must have been very hungry. He quickly ran through the streets to his path quickly. Arriving at home he immediately opened it and was about to walk into the kitchen while calling Dimas.

"Dim.. sorry yes. Now I cook. Lo wait.." Yasya's words stopped when he saw the man who had just disappeared a few hours ago from his life. He is now sitting down and eating with his brother.

"Sister. Here. Ate. It's the same as Mas Saga."

"Lo tuh ya's. Why didn't you disappear too? Even continue to disturb my life."

"Sit, Yes. I bought rice. I don't know if you like or don't. Try cobain first here!"

"Where are the documents I asked for a photocopy?" yasya asked without paying any attention to Saga's words.

"Oh in the bag. Take it in my room."

"Yes. So you want to eat?"

Yasya doesn't care. He walked quickly to Dimas's room to carry the photocopied documents. Then he walked to his room and laid his body in a mattress. He did not venture out until he heard the sound of the door opening. He also looked at the window. Saga is gone too. Afterwards, Dimas knocked on the door of his room. Yasya invited him in.

"Lo hasn't had a shower yet!"

"Yes. Now I want to take a shower!"

"Sister. Why don't you like Mas Saga?"

"Seriously lo nanya?"

"Yes. Why?"

"He was Dim himself who forced me to hate."

"meaning?"

Yasya answered Dimas's question by explaining everything. It all started in the second grade of Junior High. At that time Saga became a new student at Yasya school. Actually the problem is quite trivial, on the first day of the school Saga at that time, Yasya hit him and accidentally spilled a drink onto Saga's shirt. Saga was angry. He cursed Yasya with words that hurt Yasya.

Not until there, after Saga entered his school, Yasya's achievements were defeated by the man. The Olympics that Yasya used to participate in were taken over by Saga who was even new to school.

Things get even more complicated when they get into High School. Because they both compete for the best school scholarships. Actually many signed up, but they are both very competitive even challenging each other. What annoyed Yasya was not that. But according to him, for what people who already have a lot of money should enroll him in a scholarship? Saga did not think that there were many incapable people who needed it more. Yasya has been increasingly upset with Saga ever since.

It was confirmed that Yasya had failed. While Saga, he managed to get the scholarship. Yasya becomes annoyed at himself as well as Saga. Because he did not get the scholarship, his father had to work harder. Even though his father was a writer, writing was not something that remained. Not all the books he wrote were sold. Not all books sold in one year will sell well in the second year. And again, not all manuscripts he wrote will be accepted by the publisher. This is what made his father work harder. No matter he was very ill, he continued to work.

"If I had never met that goddamn guy in my life, things wouldn't be troublesome. There's no such thing as a hard-working dad slamming his bones until he's in a lot of pain I don't know. Try it first when dad's sick, he's resting. He doesn't think about my school. Maybe now he won't leave. Maybe mom won't break it until she's sick. And maybe, I still teach you to write poetry here," explained Yasya with tears that really wanted to come out but tried to hold it.

"Sorry yes brother. I don't know all that. I think he's a good guy who wants to help us."

"Gue also did not know why he could suddenly change so well from him who originally hated me completely. That's weird! I want to shower first. You sleep!" yasya said as she wiped the tears that were preparing to descend past her cheeks.
