19. Being Told to Die by the Universe

Yura is indoctrinated by the talk of people. He was influenced by so many mouths saying he had to marry Endra, he was going to marry Endra, he deserved to marry Endra.

Though once again, Endra did not plan to marry especially with Yura.

Maybe he lived in the village long enough, but actually Endra grew up in the city. The mindset is different and not as simple as graduating from school to get married.

They don't fit either. Endra never felt interested in talking too long with Yura. She is beautiful and actually has a nice body.

Just ... The endra is not emotionally interested.

How did he get away from this, for God's sake?

Gista did not want to be a burden for Endra who had to take care of him when they were strangers, so when Endra outside was busy with what he was doing, Gista decided to look for work at home.

He lives alone in the city, so Gista is not as good at doing things about the house. While wearing a mask in his mouth to avoid the possibility of smelling, Gista decided to sweep up and down.

His head was still dizzy from the fever. Gista occasionally stopped, feeling his body sweat and the smell of sweat that made him disturbed.

It was not the usual smell of sweat. The smell turned into something more evocative.

Again he had to catch his breath. Trying not to cry in despair because it had been twenty more days he cried, nothing changed.

"Well, Teteh? Why even nypu?"

Gista turned towards the voice that clearly belonged to Endra. "Boss of course."

"Bosen mah watch tipi, Tea." Endra laughed a little. "His temperature's down, Tea?"

"It's like it."

Endra comes, seems to want to check Gista's body temperature. But there was a trail of smoke smell in his body that spontaneously made Gista close his mouth and nose.

"Duh, forget me. Sorry, Tea."

The one who felt guilty was Gista. Moreover, he even spontaneously refused as if Endra smelled of carrion.

"Yaudah, Teteh just go to the room. This is let me continue. Sick people can't move much, Tea."

Although he was silent for a moment, Gista handed a broom to Endra—ah, meaning, he put a broom on the wall and Endra just picked it up when Gista retreated.

In the room, Gista immediately lay down. His feet were weak because they lacked strength. He was hungry but could not eat anything.

"Teh, I'm in, yeah?"

He works fast. Less than thirty minutes Endra had already knocked on her bedroom door and entered with a distinctive fresh new bath appearance.

But there was no strong smell, other than a faint unpleasant smell. Possibly from soap.

"I just took a shower, Tea. No more smog, right? Or the smell of soap?"

Mana Gista knows where to smoke where the smell of soap if both are disgusting.

"No pa-pa" he said faintly.

Endra shouldn't be too careful. Even Gista who feels more resistant because the smell of Endra soap is also not regulated.

"I'm given soup, Tea." He sat down after pulling a chair near the bed. "Tante Inah jago makes a lot of soup. Do you want something?"

Endra had brought him some spices and rhizomes. Then he asked Gista to smell it.

Their smell did not change either. It doesn't smell bad or taste disgusting, so they assume that natural food without added flavoring still feels normal to it.

But that's not really good news.

Because the next morning A Zaka brought boiled yams and Juli kindly gave sambal belimbing, it turns out that the taste of the yam was destroyed in the mouth of Gista.

Other carbohydrates substitute for rice such as corn, avocado, and others all he could not consume.

It was like being told to die by the universe.
