The Stairway To Love
16.

...♨♨♨...

It was an orange afternoon in the rural West. The birds return to their nests, whether on which tree. Children who play ball on a small field are also encouraged to go home by their parents. Sometimes, parents have to tell a myth that is not true at all to their children so they want to come home. The myth is like this: if playing outside passing from the adzan maghrib, then the return will be cemented with the devil.

Hearing that was certainly the children on shudder in horror and chose to go home with his parents rather than the same demon. Who wants to be friends with the devil? Some children otanbya still plain, not much spiked logic that makes them think that it is impossible.

The difference with a crowded city and all elite, meaning that it is rare to find children who are willing to play until the afternoon. Never mind the afternoon, the afternoon is rare. Given that other activities that attract their attention more, such as playing gadgets or academic and non-academic tutoring. So they have no time to play.

Sometimes it is not their choice, but parents today are getting busy too. There is no time to pay attention to children playing outside, so they have other ways to not be too bothered. Make his son learn from morning to evening and go home when the time is no longer possible to play outside.

That is, very different.

However, whatever the wisdom of living in the village will not enter through the membranes of the stubborn human brain that one. Understand who it means? Yes, it must be Sebastian Prananda. From the very beginning he had already cursed fate to stay in a place far from the ripples. Far from his pleasure.

Actually, if he had to vacation in the village, it was not a problem for him, as long as Sarah, Dio, Fariz, and Jhon joined. Unfortunately, where it might happen. Bagas accidentally sends Bass himself for deliberately keeping the man away from his cool best friend. Sarah is restricted from meeting Bass.

Bass is astonished. Is this punishment or torture in colonial times? It seems to sound very unreasonable for a child who is already too close to his mother, Sarah. Moreover, his best friend is fun, but Bagas is not necessarily able to create a warm atmosphere like he felt with his best friend.

Bass sits on the terrace. Such is the routine that he often does when the afternoon has greeted. Ordinary accompanied by Cleo, ordinary as well. And this time he did not pick up the bushel, because Helen had already brought him home from Oma's house.

Actually Bass has been keen to go to Oma's house, none other than to make it a little closer to Anggi. But unfortunately he could not think of a reason to go there, let alone he had to wait for a call from the monster, ups means Bagas. If only Bass was found not in the house at that time, wah wah wah. Fucking fight your mouth again.

"Bass!" call Helen from behind, just emerging from behind the door.

Bass turned his head, and his gaze could immediately guess what Helen was carrying. Handphones. Bass knew that Bagas believed in calling Helen more than he did, because he could have lied. Bass's hobby is lying to his father, Bagas. That means besides gathering with friends and judging people.

Bass grabbed the phone, then said "Yes Pa?"

"Bass, how are you feeling?"

"What do you think Pa?" bass asked pretending not to know.

"Yes your feelings. You don't realize that you have to change?" ask Bagas.

"Sure!" bass replied quickly, avoiding his father's anger.

"Good! You have to dong, understand what Papa means."

"What do you mean, Papa?"

"I mean Papa, you're a person who benefits everyone. Could be a good example."

Is Papa a good role model? ask Bass in your heart. But he's not in trouble with Bagas. "Which mom?"

"Mama at home. Papa again there's a meeting with colleagues. If you want a phone call, call!" bagas.

Bass smiled, "If that's what Papa's closing the phone for."

Bass could hear the sound of a disconnected call and he ended the conversation with Bagas. But with a witty smile, Bass continued his conversation with a cellphone that had been turned off.

"May Papa can change too. It could be a good Papa for Bass, and be a role model for everyone."

Helen rounded her eyes in shock at Bass's words. Almost he fell unconscious to hear his nephew who dared to say that to his own father. If you can, Helen's already cursed him to be a river pebble.

"Joking!" bass said to Helen as he laughed and handed Helen his phone.

"You are making your aunt's heart want to be dislodged" said Helen with a serious face, but was responded jokingly by Bass.

"Don't take his heart off, aunty can't hang again" continued Bass.

The two laughed, inviting Cleo who had been cool playing games in the middle room. The girl came out and looked at Helen and Bass alternately, she was confused as to why the two humans were instantly silent when she arrived at the doorway.

"Long live he's aunty" said Bass, meaning long life means he came after he was just talked about. Actually not, just to make Cleo upset.

"Yes, yes, it came straight away." said Helen.

"It's cool, Cleo's not talking" the girl sneered, making them both laugh again.

"Gapain invited?" ask Bass. "Should have come alone, bring warm sweet tea with bread to eat together."

"Allah! I mean really if I had a cousin that age would not be so good." Cleo's upset.

Bass laughs more and more, "Emang really. That's why I have a rich cousin of yours."

Helen frowned as she realized the one thing she had to stop, which was this debate. Because if not immediately stopped, maybe until tomorrow they will continue to argue. "Already! You guys are a fighting hobby. Now we go in, on the bath, keep us eating dinner."

"Yes Cleo is first!" exciting Bass.

"Why am I first? You can shower in the back toilet!" reply Cleo.

Bass remembered that in the backyard there was a bathroom that was about five meters away from the portico. But Bass never wanted to go there, he said spookily. Moreover, the lighting is minimal, ogah!

"Lo's right there." grumbled Bass.

"Udah Cleo!" sela Helen's. "Cleo shower first, Bass later."

"Yes!" Cleo resigned herself, then went to the toilet.

Keep in mind that in addition to the cuisine of Aunt Helen and Sarah, what makes it full is the advice of Bagas who always stick to his earlobe and ring so strong. As if he did not want Bagas to forget every word that was thrown by the man. Though Bass was sure, if Bagas let Bass live in peace, then peace will be given Bass to everyone.

He's been naughty because of his dad who was curbed since long ago, since Junior High. When Bass entered Elementary School, his father went abroad more often, but when he wanted to enter Junior High, his father chose to stay longer with Sarah and Bass. This makes his father increasingly so when he knew that Bass often came home late from most elementary school children who play ball at school. Since then everything has been different. Bass begins to look for things that can make him forget Bagas, and meet him with his best friend at this time.

So, let's just say Bass became the naughtiest person in school because of Bagas.

"Bass!" Cleo woke the man up from his long-looking daydream.

"Eh, what?"

"If bengong lo kayak monkey knows no anyway?" celtuk Cleo.

Bass walked towards the porch of the house after Cleo finished her talk. The man left his cousin and walked away sick quickly. In the foyer he sat enjoying so many stars. It is not unusual at the end of the year in Indonesia. According to Bass, this country is a magical and interesting place. There are no specific dates and months to start the rainy season. You can still feel the heat of July in December.

Suddenly an idea appeared in Bass's brain. What could he do after his father had informed him for today? Whatever. He could do anything to worry that his father would call again. Bass doesn't care and he wants to get away from home, just a walk might be able to smooth his blood circulation.

Soon the man took his bike and pedaled quickly. Turned into the alley of Oma's house and arrived in front of the friendly old grandmother's house. He was familiar with Oma so that for him it was not wrong to meet, all chat with Anggi.

Well, actually Bass's reason for speeding closer to Anggi is simply to build a way for Bass to return to where he once was. With Sarah and her three friends who must have been saturated if they had to play without Bass. Because for his best friend, Bass is not just a city if you go for a walk, he is also known as a weird n dumb soul. Owners wild ideas to annoy bullies.

"Geez!" yell out loud Bass.

"Geez!"

"Yes patient!" there was the sound of Oma saying from behind the door, while turning the key in the hole.

"Geez!" Bass greets Oma when the old woman manages to open the door for him.

"What's bass going to do?" ask Oma wonder.

"You see Oma aja, Bass knows Oma kangen because I haven't met Bass in six hours."

"What are you?" Oma laughing. "Yes, come in first. You know why you come at night."

Bass frowned in surprise when Oma came in, "I mean Oma?"

"You ain't never come gini nights before Oma's granddaughter moves in!"

Die me! Mumbles Bass. He believes that Kan can read his mind because it is true that the purpose of Bass's arrival is because he wants to meet Anggi.

Oma did not continue and left the door wide open. He also allowed the man to sit down and walk towards the hallway. Bass knew that Oma intended to call Anggita, because Oma did knock on the door of Anggi's room.

Suddenly Bass hangs, because he has a heart. He must be able to convince himself that he came just want to approach Anggi, not because there is a sweet-sweet purpose like: love?

"Pig!" call Oma while knocking on the door.

"Yes!" sahut Anggi who just got ready to take a shower.

Before Oma called out to him again he was busy drying his hair with a hair dryer. In a yellow nightgown and Anggi's smile opened the door and found Oma, "There's a guest for you!"

"Guests?" ask Anggi to yourself.

For a moment Anggi immediately reasoned to Gladys, because in the past if Glad came, Mr. security guard said so too: there are guests for you. But how could Gladys have come here at eight this night? If Gladys is a madman, Anggi is able to understand, this is Glad a sane person.

"Who's Oma?"

"See for yourself, Oma will go to the room first. There's work."

Anggi was more confused when Oma entered the room opposite to his room. "Who the hell? Not long ago in the village already make a show have guests."

Anggi breezed down the hallway of the house with many family photos. Various poses and different years. There are also photos of grandparents when they were young smiling along with the color of old photos. But Anggi does not care, in fact their only old photos. His love is modern until now.

Upon arrival in the living room, Anggi frowned again and again. There was no one and only the door was wide open. Suddenly he shuddered in horror, was it possible for Oma to receive an invisible guest? God, his mind ran like this. Confused, or is the guest still outside? Yakali Oma once let a guest be outside.

But it's possible. Anggi walked towards the door, and there was no one standing on the porch. He walked slightly to the foyer, glancing left right and around the courtyard. Blank. But the gate opened and in front was a black bicycle leaning against the gate.

"Whose bike? Was my bike delivered by Papa?"

Anggi took the sandals arranged on a shelf near the door. He walked through the courtyard while looking at the left right. Was the man her father told her to drop off just put the bike in front of the gate? Anggi accelerated his pace, and arrived before the gate.

Bicycles are old bikes, but still good and elite. No one described it as a new bike and it made Anggi sure it was not a new bike for him.

Anggi turned around after finding out that it might be the bicycle of the stranded person or the wrong house. But after turning around, he almost died from shock.

He saw the figure of a tall man with a typical smile —sm was clearly typical, he noticed the time last Monday—. Sebastian Prananda's. Before Anggi screamed and made a scene in one village, with Bass lightning smothering the girl's mouth. Bass also prayed that Anggi would not faint again.

Amens.

About ten seconds, Bass took off his handcuff at Anggi's mouth. While the girl was still stunned to see Bass, she was completely real in front of him. Demonic man, that is to say the scary man is in front of Anggi. His brain paused for a moment and regained consciousness after Bass greeted.

"Hey?"
