"For father's sake ... I have to stay strong," Kirana muttered in front of her makeup mirror. That morning, Kirana looked tidy in her work uniform. Standing in front of the mirror while assessing his own appearance. The atmosphere in the apartment is very quiet. Remembering, only Kirana occupied that simple place. However, do not ask the atmosphere outside the rental. The sound of neighboring cars and motorbikes echoed. The sight of mothers who are busy sorting vegetables can be an eye wash. Unlike in the village of Kirana before, which every morning will always be served with the chirping of birds that have just woken up from their sleep. Perched on tree branches while looking around, as if looking for food to eat that day. After feeling that her make-up was right, Kirana then wore black loafers that always looked shiny every day. Her favorite little bag was never spared for him to carry everywhere. Although, just to store wallets and cellphones. Five minutes later, Kirana then stepped out of the apartment. Although her mood was still a bit chaotic, she still tried to strengthen her calves so that he could continue his long life. Because, she realized that the world is dynamic and many things will change in the future. So, like it or not, she had to get up. "What are you going to say when Mr. Fahri comes to see me?" Kirana whispered, suddenly thinking about what happened last night. Where, she deliberately turned off her phone with Fahri. Her heart suddenly felt anxious. She was afraid that she would stutter when asked by her superiors. Moreover, the thing being asked was something she needed to keep a secret. According to her sister's request—Shinta—. She immediately dismissed the thought of the matter. Maybe, her head will be dizzy when she remembers things that are enough to leave pain in her heart. She'd better focus on getting back to work with enthusiasm today. "Work, Grandma?" asked Kirana's regular vegetable seller who happened to be in front of her rented alley. "Yes, sir," replied Kirana with a smile that made the vegetable seller's heart feel at ease. "Don't buy vegetables first, Dear?" asked the vegetable grower brother. The vegetable grower's brother named Haikal is always friendly. Not only to Kirana, but also to complex mothers who have always been loyal customers. "As usual, sir. In the afternoon after work, God willing, Kirana will take it to your house, yes," said Kirana, who wanted to immediately walk away from her rented area. Pak Haikal only responded with a thumbs up. Then, serve other vegetable buyers. Let Kirana disappear from her sight. *** "I go to the office first, yes, dear," said Mrs. Retno while kissing the forehead of her daughter who was having breakfast. Falin was silent and didn't respond. She continued to eat white bread with chocolate jam in front of him. Without thinking about the feelings of the woman who was still standing looking at him. Mrs. Retno's heart was like being stabbed with a sharp object. Pain and soreness mixed into one. 'It turns out that this is how it feels that the children themselves don't think of it,' thought Mrs. Retno, who had been raging for a while. She decided to immediately lift his legs. Moved outside and immediately went to the office with her husband. Meanwhile, Falin looks still annoyed by what happened last night. The attitude of his parents really made him even more hateful. At that moment, her mind wandered. Thinking about what would happen if there was a fight between him and his parents every day? Should she return to leave the house like a palace job? Starting a new chapter in a slum area with all the economic limitations. I don't know, all these things made Falin's head fuller. It's full of useless things. Trash that keeps piling up if it's not immediately swept away. She took a deep breath. Close your eyes and try to exhale slowly. She did this time and again, hoping that his mind and heart could relax soon. "Non Falin!" Suddenly Aunty Ira's voice managed to surprise Falin who was concentrating on his activities. She was a little annoyed because his heart beat so irregularly. In fact, the previous activity she used to relax, she was surprised again. "Oh God, Aunty Ira ..." said Falin while putting on a flat face. Even Aunty Ira, who could read Falin's signs, only smirked in front of her employer's children. "Non Falin is just daydreaming anyways. It's still early," said Bi Ira, who was deliberately seeking a defense. She did not intend to surprise the adorable girl in front of him. At first, she wanted to invite him to do new things so that Falin would not be bored. Remember, she has not entered the new school. "Falin is dizzy, Aunty," complained Falin who then ruffled his hair. Aunty Ira seemed to have pity on Falin. Then, a second later… his eyeballs were rolled up and down. Like looking for a brilliant idea to entertain Falin. "Do you want to come with Auntie or not?" asked Aunty Ira who spontaneously made Falin raise his head. He looked at Bi Ira, who was already showing his gingsul teeth. "What are you doing, Dear?" Not answering Aunty Ira's question, Falin instead threw another question at his aunt. She was a little curious and hoped that aunty Ira's idea would be able to lighten his mind a little bit. Aunty Ira immediately whispered something in Falin's ear. Unexpectedly, the idea made Falin smile that morning. "Okay, Bi ... Falin is also bored if he is silent. Usually at this time Falin is already pacing the streets," Falin said excitedly. That morning, the sky was clear and cloudless. Because who else if not for the scorching sun that always burns people's spirits. Sometimes the light can also magically wake up people who are still lazing in the room. Even though Falin's days will always be filled with boredom and irritation, Falin cannot continue to be trapped in such a situation. He must be able to create or do something new. Something that could make him forget the feud that never stopped even for a day. Falin is sure that all of this can be passed. Even with tears every day. However, he realized ... there are many children out there who are less fortunate than him. "Finish breakfast first, Non. Auntie will wait behind you, okay?" said Bi Ira attentively. Then Falin hastily devoured the unfinished bread. He always remembers Bi Ira's words that taught him not to waste food. Because, there are still many people who are less fortunate and want to enjoy the food they throw away. And ... he had felt such pain before. Since childhood, Bi Ira has always paid attention to the diet, study pattern, and behavior of Falin. And while living in the cardboard house, Falin felt like he had lost that attention. In fact, he never thought he'd be able to get the same little attention back when he was four years old. A figure who patiently always be a solace for him. To be continued ....
