The Wall and Locked Gate

I have a story of a girl and a boy...

There's a teenage girl who's still pure and stupid as well, didn't know much about world, neither she wanted in life. She lived in a house, with a big tall wall and a locked gate and she never looked outside the windows, but she went out sometimes when it's needed.

The gate has an automatic system. It would recognize while her close friends and girl friends came, then the gate would automatically open, that's it. For the girl acquaintances, they needed to ring the bell for first visit, then for next visit the gate would automatically open. While for boy friends and acquaintances, they needed to ring the bell outside the gate when visiting. Then, she would decide and set which would the ones who didn't need to ring the bell for next visit, who did still need to. However, for mostly boys who wanted to visit her to get to know about her, they didn't have any guts to ring the bell outside the gate since the wall was intimidating. Therefore, there's a very few boys that could get close to her.

Years passed, she's more mature now. She still lives in her house with that big tall wall and locked gate, still never looks outside the windows, yet goes out more often than before. One day, while she was outside, she met her old friend, not a close one, a boy.

Unexpectedly, she can get along well with that boy. She shares her thoughts about many things, about world, about life. Surprisingly, he has same ideas with her, though his character is quite different. She never thought before that she would met a boy who had same idea with her or a boy who could understand about her thoughts, who could accept her as she was. It's more unpredictable that the boy was actually her old friend. Yes, she didn't know much about boys when she's teenager, then she never realized there's someone who's very good around her.

For first time in her life, she sets the gate to automatically open when that boy's coming, although that boy never visited her before. Thus, when that boy's coming, the gate will open itself without ringing the bell. Nevertheless, even though the boy's coming to her house through that gate, he still need to knock the front door. She never looks outside through the windows, so she won't know if there's someone outside her house. Maybe he's ever come to her house but not knocking the door, or maybe he's simply never come.

Now, she's waiting inside her house, waiting for that boy to come. The gate's never locked for that boy, so the only thing that the boy should do while visiting her is knocking the door. Simply knock, then she can open the door for him. So far, they are so close... So close, and still so far...
