The Stairway To Love
19.

...♨♨♨...

Bass's bike is outside, exposed to rain.

Anggi chuckled as Bass ran away from the living room and paused for a moment to put the sandals on the terrace. The rain was getting heavier at that time and Bass could not have gone alone with the flowing aur soaking his body. What is there will make Anggi more complicated.

"Wait!" anggi Megat.

Bass looked at him before stepping, "What?"

Anggi grabbed a large umbrella in the basket near the door. Of all kinds of umbrellas, Anggi grabbed the biggest, so that Bass would not be rained. "Gue's coming!"

Bass frowned in surprise because he did not understand what Anggi meant. While Anggi opened the umbrella, he immediately approached Bass and put on his own.

"Come on!" abugn.

The man followed, he didn't care because the important thing was his uncle's now poor bike. If Helen knew this, it could all be bad.

Arriving in front of the gate, Bass guided Helen's bicycle with Anggi who was still holding it. Although actually Anggi hardship to protect men who are higher than him. Yeah somehow Bass was created so high.

"Why isn't my bike riding?" Bass asked with a joke.

"The umbrella is enough for both" said Anggi replied, the tone of the jutek still left in his throat.

"That means there can't be a third person, right?" Bass laughed.

Anggi turned to Bass as they walked through the courtyard, "Third man is a demon."

"Devil is not a person."

The girl remained silent until the two of them reached the terrace. Bass lifted the bike up to the dirty Oma terrace floor, but it had never been so dirty before. While Anggi put the statue that he left open on the terrace, then walked to the kitchen quickly.

Anggi pulled a clean cloth from the kitchen cabinet, then walked again to the terrace where there was Bass was arranging the location of his bike. I don't know why Anggi even cares about him. I don't know if I care about Bass or just that bike because he's soon got a bike too.

"It!" Anggi handed the lap.

Bass was just wondering why Anggi suddenly cared this way about him. Has he succeeded in making Anggi believe that he is not a demonic incarnation? If yes, thank goodness. He immediately dried the bike with the cloth.

"Why do you care about gini?" asked Bass, making Anggi frown.

"Wrong is good with people?"

"It's okay, but you're not just nice but caring." Bass got up while setting up his bike. "Have you changed your perception of me?"

"Huh?" Anggi doesn't understand.

Bass sighed, "Gue Bass, and I'm not a rich man you thinkin. Maybe you are confused about what I like to do people, but you have to know behind it there is a reason. You're the one who said that everyone has a good side?"

The girl was stunned with a blank look towards Bass, she thought that the man was confiding in her. From the complete words of Bass but enigmatic money maybe he wanted Anggi to ask again. But he tried not to care, his heart said: Who cares? Want you naughty from birth, or from a year ago, bodoamat!

"Yes" she answered briefly.

Bass nodded, "Let's understand."

"Well then can I ask for that lap now? I'm going to rendem" said Anggi.

Bass handed the lap to Anggi, then went inside when the girl first entered. "Gue wait here!" he said when he arrived in the middle room.

Anggi ignored Bass' words and walked quickly to the bathroom to soak the cloth that had been used by Bass. Actually, he also wondered why he even moved his heart to do this. Although he clearly hates Sebastian, but he knows that Bass can also be good.

Finished soaking the lap, Anggi immediately went to see Bass who might be waiting. It turned out that he was already with Oma conversing in the living room. The two of them were like best friends to Anggi. Just look at the way they laugh together, it indicates that Bass must have a special point to make Oma happy.

"Pig! Come sit!" oma said when she realized that the girl was standing not far from them.

Anggi smiled at Oma, "Iya Oma!"

"So Anggi won't shower until noon, Oma?" bass asked as if he was insinuating Anggi who was still dressed like that.

"You are, Bass! Just indent."

Anggi held back his laughter, "I take a shower first?"

"Later on!" Bass half-screamed as Anggi got out of his chair.

"Cold Oma, she'll be sick!" continued.

"Yes, wait for the test to stop." Oma switched to Anggi.

Anggi agreed and immediately sat with them back.

Oma was still busy with her knitwork when they gathered, while Anggi and Bass were silent a thousand languages because they did not know what to say. Even so, in their hearts they have a lot of babbling that makes both drift in daydreams.

Anggi is still thinking about Bass, so he can be a stoic attention to the man. Though he hated, or you could say that Anggi cursed the man all the time in his heart. He wants Bass to go back to town and not come back. But on the other hand, he felt that everyone was returning to his own heart.

Everyone has their own good side. These words were obtained by Anggi when Endy drove him to school one day. Anggi told about someone who always wrote about Anggi when he was still sitting in Junior High School. And when Anggi patiently faced the man because Endy's words overshadowed him, it all felt better.

Good on Bass, Anggi wants to try to see what a good side of Sebastian is. It's important to Glad's safety if Bass wants revenge on Anggi or Gladys. At least Anggi should not be afraid anymore because the man was in fact only punished, not to terrorize Anggi.

Bass is also still in his daydream. His mind is divided four equally, twenty-five percent each. The first thing about Sarah, she misses that woman so much. Second is Bagas. In addition to being upset, she was also worried that the man had called Helen. Third, Bass thought of his best friend whom he hadn't notified this morning. Lastly, Bass thought of Anggi.

For Bass Anggi is a boat that is ready for him to raft back to the city and gather with his friends. He was lucky to have Anggi to be taken advantage of like that, but behind his brain wits, there were doubts at heart. His doubts arise when he finds out that Anggi really doesn't like him. The girl showed an attitude that expressed blatant hatred.

He saw Anggi for a moment, the woman was playing her own feet with the corner of the table. They are completely silent in the sound of the rain that makes the ears a little disturbed, even though the rain has begun to subside.

Returning to Anggi, the girl turned to Bass and found that the man's eyes were also staring at him. Both of them were shocked and looked at each other.

"Oma, Anggi take a shower? I want to stop raining" said Anggi asking permission from Oma.

The old woman nodded, "Don't be long Anggi. You'll be sick."

Anggi assented then went walking towards his room. Inside, he took a frustrated breath because of what he was thinking a moment after he looked at Bass.

...***...

Bass peeked out of the window and made sure that the rain had subsided a few minutes after Anggi left. There's still drizzle, but if Bass doesn't leave soon, it's gonna rain again and he's not coming home. If Bagas knows Bass is running —even though it is not—, then Bass must be ready to receive babbling food from his father.

He said goodbye to Oma and the woman drove him outside the house. It was nine o'clock and the sun was still reluctant to shine, making Oma worry that this spatter could make Bass sick later.

"Why is it still raining?" ask Oma.

"Why Oma, besides Aunt Helen nyariin. Bass promised to make Auntie finish the house." Bass lied to Oma to let him go. Although he actually still wants to linger in the house.

"Oh, be careful!" Oma answered the man's hand.

Bass smiled then led his dried-up sepd to the courtyard and to the front of the gate. He immediately pedaled and swerved, all the way to his front house. It is a short route in the village.

Bass became curious about the village which he said many in this neighborhood. Is it this cold? Is it still a vehicle? Confused as to why he should be placed here. And even though Bagas put him overseas, Bass still said no. The reason is one, his best friend will not be able to escape.

In fact, it's the same. Bagas makes him stay in the village, he is far from his best friend, also with Sarah. He imagines how Fariz makes jokes when they get together, how Dio whistles when a girl passes by, and how Jhon stares at people with sangar.

"Bass!" call Helen who is waiting for her in the doorway.

Bass feels bad. You can guess what that means. "Yes Aunt?"

"Where are you?" Helen faces Bass. Only then did Helen become resolute even though her face was full of affection.

"From Oma's house, where else? Where can Bass find peace in this village?"

"Bass!" Helen pressed her beacon.

Cleo appeared, peeking out from the window facing outside.

"What?" Bass starts to get irritated, and this is the first time he's irritated at Helen. Did Helen get instigated by Bagas? If so, then Helen would be considered Bass as the strangest person besides her father.

"Sopan Bass! Polite!" Cleo swerves.

Bass turned to Cleo, he remembered. Helen was kind to him and he had to be kind to Helen. "Sorry Auntie!"

"Bass! Aunty does not want to be evil like you, Aunty only wants you to know Papa. He just wants you to change, and never make him mad."

"What did Daddy say?" ask Bass to Helen.

The woman took a breath, "Papa is furious with you.
