The Stairway To Love
14.

...♨♨♨...

After hearing that Cleo was already outside the room and left the hallway, Anggi sat down. His head was still dizzy from the incident. Yes who is not dizzy if Bass must sneak into the life of Anggi who almost entered the line of tranquility tampa ripples the city. All the girl could do was pray, hopefully Bass quickly realized that in Anggi's eyes he was just a devil.

Anggi could hear when Cleo shouted from the living room to ask permission to go home to Oma and Helen, both of whom agreed. Cleo's coming home, and hopefully Bass's coming home. Anggi doesn't want to see Bass anymore.

Well, maybe Bass was sweet when he met him in class, but he remembered by Glad's words, yes it could have been just a trick. Because he once said that he could do more, maybe later, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. And Anggi thinks that's why Bass is here.

Soon Anggi leads to a chair that is near the door of the room. He sat down and grabbed his cell phone. Seeing thirty-six missed calls from Glad, Anggi suddenly remembered. Glad must be worried because he didn't hang up when he shouted.

Soon Anggi called his friend, fortunately the signal is being invited to be friends. Quickly Glad said from across from the beginning kepo with so what had just happened to Anggi until he shouted so.

Anggi explained everything, from the beginning of the incident to the end. From the moment he met Bass in front of the door and Bass who made him have to faint. "So that's it..."

"Seriously lo?" pekik Glad still can't believe it.

"Gue ain't lying!!"

"So he's really a neror? It's a real jail boy. The whole time just wants revenge," sissed Glad.

Anggi breathed in frustration, "So what should I do? Where is she familiar with Oma again!"

"But... Are you sure he's Nerror lo? Manor he really don't happen to meet you, vacation maybe."

"Engga!" refute Anggi.he does not accept that Glad thinks like that. "He will certainly be ignorant in me a little more, he is not looking fur also if you want jahilin people."

"Anggi—"

"Some of it yes," Anggi cuts Glad's word. "If he's just on vacation, why not go to his hometown? This isn't Bass's hometown, but he chose his tant house.."

"Pig!" call Glad.

"What?"

"Gue would have just called you, and Bass would've gone!" glad said with enthusiasm.

"For what??" suddenly Anggi became weak. Almost his heart jumped and left him in the room screaming: it's dramatic for your life, Anggi!

"What did he say?" ask Anggi.

"Say what was.." murmured Glad. "Oh, he just kept saying gini to me, 'Hallo, I'm Bass. Sebastian Prananda',"

Gladys imitated a heavy male voice, though it did not resemble anything at all. "Maybe when you passed out earlier" he continued.

"Seriously lo?" tanya Anggi did not believe.

"Seriously, I'm surprised I keep dying all the time."

Anggi was silent, for a moment he was silent then heard the sound of footsteps heading towards his room. The footsteps were not clear where it came from, which was clearly bound for the room. Anggi turned off the phone and pounced on the bed. The girl acted like a person who was in a strong pain and frowned awaiting the arrival of that person.

The door opened, and Oma came with a glass of warm water with her sweet smile. Anggi breathed a sigh of relief. Relieved because the one who came was not Bass, because he was not sure that Bass had left.

Oma sat on the edge of the mattress and placed the glass on the table that was crammed with the Anggi bed. The girl woke up and looked at Oma who was still in wonder in her brain. Anggi was worried that he had scared Oma. But one thing he wanted, lest his father and mother know about this.

"Oma why?" ask Anggi.

"Oma is worried about you. Why did you scream? Same story as Oma, huh?"

Anggi nodded in order to relieve Oma's worry. And the powerful way is to make it up, rather than him explaining who Bass really is. Oma could directly have heart disease. "The numbers were shocked,"

"Fig is calling Anggi again, suddenly the man is already in the window for Anggi ngaggetin."

"Bass you mean?"

Anggi nodded, "Yes."

"Shocked to the extent of Oma's grandson, if you rest first yes. Maybe it's true that you were soiled because of yesterday." Oma stroking Anggi's hair.

"Oma don't tell me Papa's with Mama!" please Anggi.

Oma nodded, "Yes. Just so you rest first, drink the water yeah."

A moment later Oma left Anggi alone. He really made Oma worried. She's afraid that Oma is okay. She loves Oma. Oma will replace her father and mother simultaneously.

Anggi turned back to his phone screen. Actually he was lazy to talk to the phone, so he opened the message. He saw that Glad had already sent him a lot of messages. Well, obviously his best friend was worried, and even if Glad wasn't his best friend, he was still scared. Who doesn't know Bass, they say.

Anggi closed his eyes. All right, turns out he still has to solve one more problem with Bass. The problems that started from the divorce of the two parents were not going to end. Fortunately, Anggi is among those who are patient in interpreting what is beautiful behind this. Although Anggi has not found what its beauty.

Suddenly Anggi's phone rang again, originally from Endy. With a bit of a sigh Anggi picked up the phone. No matter what Anggi is, Endy is his father. Beloved father who always accepts Anggi's request, except for a request to improve his private household.

"Hello Pa?"

"Papa's son, how are you?" ask Endy.

"It's still as rich as yesterday, Pa."

"What happened yesterday?"

"Angi is angry, annoyed, and ashamed." answered Anggi lethargic.

Endy's speechless. Maybe because there is a word 'embarrassment' in the talk of Anggi which indeed leads to the divorce of his parents. Who is a child who is not ashamed if his people separate. If people ask why Anggi lives with his grandmother in this village, then he must answer, 'My parents are divorced'

People must have pity to see Anggi. Though Anggi did not ask to be pitied by others. Just want to be pitied by his father and mother as a child who still needs a complete second parent. Like Gladys living safely with his parents. This is between envy and shame, let alone others, Anggi feels that this is a disgrace.

"Well eat?" Endy switched the conversation.

Understand the transfer of the chat. Often done by his father if the man was in a difficult situation to answer. The girl looked at the clock in her room. "Now it's ten o'clock, no way Anggi hasn't eaten."

"Perhaps, right if the holiday Papa children like to wake up late."

"Do you know from whom? Papa ain't never at home on vacation." Anggi makes Endy slumped. Actually he knew that it was not good, you could say ungodly.

"Bicycle."

"meaning?"

"I mean Anggi, Papa buyin Anggi aja bike." replied Anggi.

"Oh, okay then. Later Papa sendin yes dear, if so Papa wants to continue working Papa first. You are fine!"

"Pa!" call Anggi before you hang up. "Why when do you go to Oma's house?"

"You don't know, baby, just be patient. Papa's gonna call again, okay?"

The passing of the phone was followed by the sounds of people chatting on the street. Anggi could feel that he was alone, only Oma became friends. He thought if he stayed here —away from his parents—, then father and mother would be more sympathetic to him. In fact? Zero. Much the same. Anggi think they are even more spacious to work without having to go home to see Anggi.

If that is the case, Anggi is giving up. He left town thinking he could knit the strings of his parents. It turned out wrong, a guess that went far. Because this hamya will cut the rope. Not only the rope between father and mother, but also to the child.

"What is this experiment?" grunts Anggita.

...***...

"Why are the children here when the cry of terror reaches people's homes?" bass asked as he sat on the porch watching a child crying because he was told to take a morning bath by his mother.

The boy refused because there was a teaser. Seductive in a sense, there are three children who are the same age as him waiting in the yard with a gaze hoping that the child will be invited to play. He wanted to come along, but his mother who also carried the baby child never stopped holding his child's hand. He said, "Go take a shower, just play."

"Not everything, but only him!" answer Cleo.

He what Cleo meant was the whining kid earlier.

"Yes, I know what it's like to be that kid." Bass chuckled softly.

"Huh?"

"Yes, being separated from friends is not good" Bass said. "Gue imagine if the child was me, want to be separated from my best friend who happens to be three people, Dio, Fariz, the same Jhon. And those moms bokap me, he's the most passionate misahin me of my best friend."

Cleo fell silent. "So who's carrying that mother is imagining so who?"

"That baby?" ask Bass. "Oh, consider me a joke."

Cleo laughs. "A lot of stuff to carry."

"Yes, that means I can only follow the bokap command."

Cleo laughed again. Indeed, if the two have gathered, it will certainly create small conversations that are simple but funny. Even at the ends they will fight like a child fighting over toys.

"Oh yeah, Cleo. I want to know, you are already two years here, you do not protest with your parents. Kan, if it's been two years already long, you can just ask to be moved to the city again, it's fun." said Bass.

Cleo shook her head. "Ga ah, you'd love to die with the city life anyway, if I fell in love with this place since two years ago. That's why it can't go away."

"Done what?" ask Bass.

"Fresh the bird! Noh noh!!" Cleo pointed towards the birdcage hanging on the terrace. A green bird that was fed daily by Helen, sometimes Cleo.

Bass laughed, he understood that what Cleo meant was not to take off the bird but to give up his life in this place. "If I were lo anyway, I told you to move."

"That's if you were me, if I was me. That is, if you've fallen in love who wants to go?" cleo replied casually.

"What's that?" Bass frowned, meaning what good it is to live in a village like this.

"The fish, yes what? I don't have friends who are pretentious, powerful, handsome, rich lo. If it's here, mah, it's all good."

"By moving anyway why the hell? How specific?"

Cleo was silent. He tried to remember what happened that made him have to be moved. What is it, huh? A bunch. Cannot be mentioned one - one. But Cleo just answered her last silly deed until she had to leave the city.

"Mmm, I yesterday nonjok Dendi, his son Mr. Supratman. Knew ga?" ask Cleo.

"Supratmann? Isn't Dendi's father's name Om Desman?"

"Yes.." sizzled Cleo. "If you don't know, don't make it up. Dendi I mean not my neighbor but my one school time Junior."

"Ohh!"

"Yes, I didn't corner him."

"How's the story?" Bass started to want to know.

"Ga intentionally. I had a birthday, so I wanted to surprise myself. They nyuekin me before giving the suprise. As I asked why, they said: 'already, do not need to act again. Now we understand your rotten nature.' Honestly I was surprised, I just know who was the fightman, they answered ngasal. 'Udahlah, the Dendi setiawan has told us all.'."

"Continue?" ask Bass.

"The joint is his geeky son Bass, his cup horn I do not believe that he is a sheepfighter. But without a second thought for fear of losing my best friend, yes I acted. Unlock him in the corner of the class until he is battered." he continued.

"Busett!" peekik Bass almost exaggerated.

Cleo pouted, "Yes. I feel guilty because it has not joked him, but it is a joke because I ngerjain. Where he's the cupu again, until I'm almost not allowed to join UN school."

Bas laughed loudly, until Cleo was astonished. "Why laugh?"

"Funny, I should have known about this problem a long time ago. Let me doain lo ga be followed for the final exam in SMP." taunted Bass.

"Have a son! Evil lo. Tau ah, you ugly Bass!"

Cleo pouted and immediately entered the house. Well, right? Both of them like to joke, but they quarrel. Bass is drifting in his slime in the village. The clock almost showed at eleven when he thought of thinking of someone who was Anggi.

Look, Bass doesn't actually have any taste in a woman for now. But it seems like he should try to get close to Anggi, yes as his best friend said. He needs Anggi to continue his schooling in the city and meet his sahabtanya again. And hopefully Anggi will, because this is a pretty easy thing for Anggi.

Come on, just a hundred and fifty physics problems. That'sthat's all.
