Chapter 2 - problem without solutions -

--

Nova woke up as usual, by herself. It was 4:00 a.m. as she usually wake up. She walked down to take some drink. When she was walking down the stairs, she heard someone was opening the front door.

She took a look and saw her dad. "Dad?" Asked Nova curiously at all. "Hi honey." Replied her dad with a smile. Her dad directly got into his room.

--

Yaichi walked to school. Once he wanna passed the way that he bumped into Nova, he stopped for a while. He looked through the way Nova would come from. No one.

"Let's play the game!"

--

It was the last period before lunch time. Nova was so sleepy and can't really focus on what the teacher was teaching. Suddenly, the teacher asked her to read the next paragraph. She was busy trying to search for it.

Luckily, Yaichi showed it to her. She read it while her eyes were about to close. Then, she sat back. She took a deep breath and looked at Yaichi. Yaichi noticed that and looked at her.

"Thank you." Said Nova shortly. "Why are you so sleepy?" Asked Yaichi all of sudden. Nova never expected it at all.

'Is he lost his memories? Yesterday, he poured the milk. Today, he was kind.' Thought Nova curiously. Yaichi was weird! Super weird!

"No... thing.. " Replied Nova and continued trying to focus on class. "Go to the washroom and wash your face." Suggested Yaichi. It was weird. Why he was so kind!

"Don't worry." Replied Nova shortly as always. She didn't get any interest of talking. For her, better to just silent.

--

It finally the lunch time. Nova stood up directly after the teacher went out. She quickly went to the washroom and wash her face. Then, she got back into the class. Yaichi was there.

She just sat on her chair and turn on her smartphone. She was playing some games. When she glanced for a while at Yaichi, he was asleep.

--

The class finally over, it was time for Yaichi to bully other. That time, Yaichi directly got out and went no where. Nova was taking nap.

"Nova... Nova? Time to go home." Said Hina nicely through her ear. She woke up in a shocked. "Are you okay?" Asked Hina curiously. Lily was also there.

Nova looked at them and gave a smile. "Let's go home." Replied Lily with a smile too. A very weird smile. "Let's go." Replied Nova and they walked out the class.

"Nova, don't you wanna know more about the king ?" Asked Hina all of sudden. Lily was startled. How can Hina asked this after all he had done yesterday to Nova.

"Hina! You shouldn't ask her something like this." Said Lily with a sign to stop talking about the king. "Yes I want to know more. Let's talk about this somewhere." Replied Nova as she rarely reply something with a long respond.

"Are you sure?" Asked Lily to confirm it. Nova slowly nodded. "Okay then. As you want. Let's talk at the bench near the field." Replied Lily and suggested a nice spot for them.

--

They reached the bench. It was under a big tree. "N..n..nice spot." Said Nova and hit her cheeks with her hands. She was trying... trying so hard...

Both of Lily and Hina were weird. Luckily, Lily quickly ended the weird situation. "What you wanna know about him?" Asked Lily directly as she also wanna end that weird situation.

"I don't know." Replied Nova shortly and made the weird situation again. "What is more interesting, about his family or ... about his behaviour ?" Asked Lily and ended that weird situation once again.

"I'm not interested on anything." Replied Nova and bring that weird situation again. "Ohh please! Nova, what are you actually?!" Asked Lily and she was stress at all.

Nova was shocked and shrugged slightly. She was scared at the same time. "Nova I'm truly sorry!" Said Lily as she quickly apologised. "It's okay. No worries." Replied Nova and smiled at them.

Lily and Hina were startled looking at that smile. They gave Nova their smile too. "What about we get know each other first?" Suggested Hina. She just didn't want something wrong happen.

"Great idea!" Replied Lily as she agreed. "So, let me start first, 'kay?" Asked Hina nicely and other nodded.

"My name is Hina Qya. We surely in the same age, right? My house is just two house after Lily's house." Hina introduced herself. She was cheerful at all just... Nova didn't know her well yet.

"Nice to be friend with you, Hina." Replied Nova and it was hard for her to talk. She didn't really know how to talk with others.

"Nice to meet you, Nova." Replied Hina with a smile. "Umm... My name is Lily Carl. Hope we will be best friend!" Replied Lily as she introduced herself shortly.

Suddenly, Lily's smartphone buzzing as some messages came in. She tapped and looked at it. "I'm sorry, I need to get home now." Said Lily directly when she read the messages. Lily looked at Nova and she was smiling at her. So weird.

"Let's go home." Said Lily and they stood up. "I wanna go somewhere first." Said Nova and she walked to another way, leaving Lily and Hina just like that.

'I can't being friends with them!' Thought Nova and she ran to the hallway. Once she was going to turn right, she saw Yaichi. Yaichi was bullying that boy again.

"Hey Yaichi!" Shouted her directly. She didn't like bully. Any kind of bully. "Nova... What are you going to do actually?" Asked Yaichi without turning to Nova.

"Yaichi, let him go." Replied Nova as she was truly scary when saying it. "Okay but ...why?" Replied Yaichi and his hand slowly let go of that boy's jacket. Nova directly walked pass him and just wanna ignore any of his questions.

Yaichi just smiled at her when she walked passed them. Yaichi walked and followed Nova. Nova noticed her as what Yaichi wanted.

"What you want? Stop following me." Said Nova and stopped there but still didn't look at Yaichi. "I want to talk with you." Replied Yaichi. He truly wanna talk with Nova.

"I need to go back home." Replied Nova. She still didn't look back at Yaichi yet. "Okay go on." Replied Yaichi. Nova never expected it. Seriously never.

Nova looked back. She gave a very sweet smile at Yaichi. "Huh." Replied Yaichi and just turned back. He walked away and didn't reply that smile. But Nova also didn't care about it.

'I wonder... What's about that sweet smile? I think, I don't know how to play her... I will need some times...' Thought Yaichi while walking.

--

Nova already at her home. She got into the kitchen and saw her dad. It was truly rare for her dad to be at home. "Dad?" Asked Nova curiously as it was really unexpected.

"Nova! I wanna you to get into the private school." Said her dad and made Nova curious. "Why?" Ask Nova and took a seat in front of her dad on the dining table.

"It will have more privacy." Replied her dad. "I don't want." Replied Nova as she disagree with it. "Why? Private school is more better." Replied her dad. Her dad still didn't wanna give it up.

"Still, I don't want!" Replied Nova with a loud voice. She really didn't want it. Then, she directly stood up and walked to her room. Her room was the only place that she will have the fully privacy.

Nova sat on her comfy bed. She looked at her wardrobe. She opened it and it was truly messy. She grabbed a basic dark red cropped Tees and a flared jeans. She put that on. Then, she got out from her balcony.

'I don't want to see that old guy! Who separated me with my own mom!'

--

Yaichi was at his home. At the living room while watching the television. Suddenly, someone opened the door and got in. He was his own dad.

"Yaichi, wanna join me tonight?" Asked his dad and sat on the sofa near him. "I will go when I want and I won't go there with you." Replied Yaichi but his eyes still on the television.

"Why you don't wanna go with me?" Asked his dad. "You will end up with your friends and leave me by my own. I don't like that place full of people." Replied Yaichi and suddenly stood up. He turned off the television.

"Aaahhh I will not coming home tonight." Replied his dad and suddenly make him stopped from walking up. "Do whatever you want. Such a killer!" Replied Yaichi rudely.

"Stop calling me a killer!" His dad scolded him and stood up looking at him. "But you... Killed Mama!" Shouted Yaichi at his dad rudely. "You don't understand!" Shouted his dad back.

"Whatever! Go wherever you want! I won't forgive what you did to Mama." Replied Yaichi rudely and it was very very rude. That guy is his dad. Yaichi quickly walked up the stairs and went into his room. His dad too.

Yaichi got into his room with full of anger in his heart. His room was super messy. Everything is everywhere. "Yaichi! I'm going out!" Shouted his dad and it was still with anger. Yaichi just ignored it.

Yaichi took his Harrington Jacket and put it on. He already wore a basic T-Shirt with a jeans. Then, he got out from his home.

'I hate the killer more and more everyday.'

--

Nova was alone... walking alone...alone...alone...

Yaichi was alone... Walking no where alone...alone...alone ...

--

Nova reached a shop. She got in and looked for something to eat. For dinner, because it was already dark. A late dinner.

She took some chips and two bottles of lemon tea. She paid for it and got out. There was a long bench in front of the shop. She sat there and eat it.

All of sudden when she was eating, someone spoke to her.

"Nova, what are you doing here alone?" Asked that soft-spoken voice.

Nova slowly looked at him. He was Yaichi. Nova quickly packed her chips and drinks. She went away. "Nova wait!" Said Yaichi and ran to her.

"I'm sorry, I need to go." Replied Nova and looked at Yaichi with her scary eyes. "Umm okay." Replied Yaichi shortly. "Nova!" Suddenly a rough voice calling for Nova.

Nova was shocked and her things fell from her hand. She quickly ran away. He was...her own dad ...

Yaichi was shocked too. Yaichi took her things as her dad was coming. "Who are you to my daughter?!" Asked her dad directly. "Here her things." Replied Yaichi and gave the chips and drinks. He walked away and left her dad.

'Maybe no one. Nova, you jerk! I'm leaving your mom for a reason!' Thought her dad and walked back home.

--

Nova ran and ended up no where. "I hate that old man." Said her to herself. Not really loud but someone heard it.

"Nova, isn't he is your dad ?" Asked someone from her back. Nova quickly turned back and he was Yaichi again.

"It's about my family not yours." Replied Nova and continued walking to nowhere she ever know. "Okay then." Replied Yaichi and just watched Nova went away.

"Yaichi...help me to find my way back home." Said Nova and suddenly stopped. "Just go back the way you came." Replied Yaichi and walked away leaving Nova just like that.

'I expected it' Thought Nova and sighed heavily. She walked back as Yaichi said. After an hour, finally she able to see that shop she got in before. Lucky her.

--

Nova sneaked in her house from the balcony as she got out before. She finally got in and immediately laid down on her bed. She fell asleep soundly.

--

It was morning and time for another boring school day. Yaichi woke up as usual, he didn't wear any clothes when sleeping at night. He walked lazily into the bathroom. He took bath and got ready.

He walked down the stairs and no one in the house. He went to the kitchen and no food prepared there. He opened the fridge and took some milk. He drank it and walked to school.

On her way, he saw Nova was with her skateboard. He just looked at her until she was no where. Yaichi was walking lazily but it's okay since it was still early and he surely could get to school right on time.

On his way, he found a note book. He once saw it before, it was Nova's. He took it. He didn't want to read what was in there but his heart really asked for it. At last, he didn't read it.

He reached the school and immediately went to his class. He got into the class and the bell rang. He really got there right on time.

He sat on his chair and the teacher came in. The teacher immediately started teaching. "Nova." Said Yaichi in the middle of the teacher was teaching. Nova glanced at him for a while and focused on her book.

"I don't care if you don't want." Replied Yaichi just to make her curious. "Huh?" Asked Nova and looked at Yaichi with her scary eyes. Yaichi was going to get use of it.

"Something yours missing?" Asked Yaichi with a naughty smile. "Nope." Replied Nova shortly. "Are you sure?" Asked Yaichi while holding that note book and showed it to her.

"Thank you. It's really mine." Replied Nova and tried to take it but Yaichi didn't give it. "Tell me about yourself and I will give this notebook." Replied Yaichi with his naughty smile.
