A Hope Above the Wait

27. 2 Proximity and past stories

The next day, Syakira was teaching the boy to read and write. Moments later, Ayan comes with a large red plastic bag with clothes and food for the boy.

Seeing Ayan's arrival, the boy looked very happy. He immediately approached Ayan who was carrying the plastic bag.  At that time Ayan who was in the crowd by the child he asked the child to be careful and slowly take a meal, he asked the child, he said that all the children would get the food and clothes they had.

After all the children got clothes, Syakira approached Ayan with a small smile on her lips.

"Thank you, because you're good with this kid. But, next time you do not have to bother to bring all this. Oh yeah, for the money you used to buy all this later I'll change, I promise!."

Syakira said to Ayan after he stood in front of Ayan, Ayan who heard the words he only smiled for a few moments.

"You don't have to promise, I'm happy to see the boy happy. And you also do not need to return the money I used for all this, I sincerely help!" ayan answered kindly to Syakira, Syakira who heard the words she looked embarrassed and not good with Ayan.

Moments later, Syakira invites Ayan to walk in the park near where the boy lives. At that time he told me about his mother who died himself in an orphanage owned by his father, but when his mother died, Syakira and her husband, Syakira's life suffered more and more.

"If I may know, can you tell me all your lives?" pinta Ayan was kind to Syakira.

Syakira who heard the request he was seen silent for a while, but after that he smiled at Ayan and he told her about his life in the past.

"Past... I lived in my father's orphanage, my life was suffering, worse than it is now...."

Syakira then recalled her past. Flashback a few decades ago....

There was a little girl standing in the courtyard, she was a little Syakira. With hair tied up, his unclean brown skin and dirty clothes stood in the middle of the courtyard watching dozens of his friends playing football with a handsome, handsome man and a beautiful woman sexy being a referee.

He is the father of Syakira. At that time Syakira's father looked cool playing football with other friends. He even seems to care about his own child and prefers to care about other children. Seeing that, the beautiful woman only gave a wicked smile to Syakira, then with her winding street style like showing her very sexy body. The woman approached Syakira, seeing that Syakira looked very frightened and she just lowered her head.

When the woman was near Syakira, the woman immediately pinched Syakira tampa pardon to make Syakira cry as much as she could.

"Well, you're here, huh? You shouldn't be on the side, you should be in the kitchen, go san!" said the woman fiercely and pushed the little Syakira. Realizing that his son was crying a man who was none other than Syakira's father he just kept quiet and he seemed to not care about what the woman did to his son.

The tears welled up Syakira's cheeks, but whatever she could do, she couldn't do anything because every time she wanted to run away and leave the two men behind, both men always find themselves.

Evening arrived, it was seen that everyone had slept in their own rooms, but not with Syakira where she still looked shabby and exhausted. This happened because he had just finished washing the clothes that the woman and the other children were wearing.

Actually, Syakira's father pityed Syakira who was not in need either with the woman who was still not legal to be his wife. However, what is the power of the woman is the caretaker of the orphanage children owned by Syakira's father and Syakira's father have also loved him very much.

At that time, little Syakira who wanted to rest entered the same room as the other children arrived at her ear in the jewel by someone. Realizing that, Syakira looked in pain and she looked at the person who was dragging herself with tears flowing down.

"Tante, please let me go. My ears hurt," Shakira said to the woman but she looked unforgiving.

"I won't let go before you answer me, what do you want?" asked the woman, still dragging Syakira's ear very roughly.

"Tante Syakira wants to sleep, " replied Syakira.

Hearing that, the woman took off the ears of Syakira in her jewel.

"With your look like this you want to sleep? Alright!" the woman replied and then she pulled Syakira's hand violently. He pulls Syakira to a place that will later be made a bed for Syakira. At that time the woman pulled Syakira up to the warehouse where the storage of unused goods. He then releases Syakira's hand and pushes Syakira until she enters the warehouse.

"This is the place for you to sleep" said the woman harshly.

Syakira who realized that she would be locked up in a warehouse, she immediately begged the woman so that she would not lock herself in the dirty warehouse. At that moment Syakira pleaded with the woman by holding one of the woman's legs with tears that continued to flow down her cheeks.

"My aunt please, please... Please don't be less Kira here," pinta Syakira sadly, but at that time the woman seemed to care less about Syakira and she looked to lock Syakira in the warehouse.

Syakira who was helpless finally he just kept quiet by crying, without saying anything to the woman.

After the door was locked from the outside by the wicked woman, put the key on the table. He then left Syakira alone in the barn, but just before the wicked woman left he said to Syakira with great anger and annoyance to Syakira.

"Listen to me, you won't get out of this place before sunrise tomorrow, remember that!."

Hearing that, Syakira leaned her body against the door by pleading with the woman to open the door for her but it was not done by the woman. The woman is seen leaving and acting indifferent to Syakira.

At that time Syakira still did not wake up from her sleep, she just shivered in the cold.

Realizing that Syakira had not woken up, the wicked woman brought a bucket of water, when she was near Syakira she poured the water into Syakira's body until it was soaked.

Syakira who realized that she was flush with water, she immediately woke up from her sleep with a situation that was getting cold.

Seeing that Syakir was awake, the woman pulled Syakira's hair very roughly and glared at Syakira. Syakira who saw it he only begged the woman to let go of her hair, but what power the woman did not care a bit to Syakira, he just pulled Syakira roughly to shop for breakfast.

But things change when Syakira comes out of the house. At that time, one of the children in the orphanage turned on a stove filled with water to be brewed into tea. However, because he was busy playing with other children, making the boiled water was exhausted and there was a big explosion at the orphanage. At that time Syakira was still in the vegetable shop to shop for vegetables.

When he was done shopping he returned home, but when he reached home his eyes were stunned. It happened because he saw the house he lived in was already engulfed by a burning fire burning the house.

At that time he wanted to help his family who were still in the house, but the residents forbade him because inside was very dangerous.

At that time Syakira could only cry to see her house and family burning inside the house. He could not say anything about what had happened to him and his family.

The situation returned to the present where Ayan looked at Syakira without blinking, when he saw Syakira who was crying to tell what happened in his life.

"That day, I lived alone. For me, the sky is the roof of my house and the ground is the floor of my house. That's why I'd rather live with this child than live in a luxurious or simple house!."

At that moment Syakira told that with tears that continued to flow down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that in your life there was such a tragic event!" ayan said uneasily after he asked Syakira to tell him about his life which turned out to be sad.

Syakira who heard the words she only returned a smile by wiping away her tears that soaked her cheeks.

When Ayan and Syakira were talking in the park, Word saw passing through the garden in which there were both people. Realizing that Ayan and Syakira were sitting together, Firman immediately stopped his car and he looked angry at the closeness.

He is seen hitting the mouth of the tool then to vent his frustration.

"Badly, why should Ayan first know where Syakira lives?" Said Firman very angry, then he looked to and fro to find a place to live in Syakira, but at that time he saw no one, but at that time he did not see anyone, all he saw was a little boy eating.

Realizing that, Firman thought that Syakira was living on the streets with the boy. At the time, he could not believe what he was thinking. He believes that Syakira's house is not on the side of the road with the street children.

"It is impossible, there is no way a woman as beautiful as Syakira can live on the side of the road with the street child. I'm sure it must be Syakira's house around here, but not the street kids."

After saying that, Firman also drove his car to find Syakira's house. At that time he seemed to care less about the closeness of Ayan and Syakira, which he is important right now is to find the real Syakira home.

In the park, a child receives a gift from Ayan, he approaches Ayan and thanks Ayan. Ayan who saw that, he looked happier when he gathered with the boy.

Feeling that Samira's time has come home from school, Ayan also said goodbye to the boy and Syakira. He said goodbye to Samira and would bring Samira here after he picked her up. Hearing that, the boy looked very happy and he seemed very enthusiastic about playing with Samira.

"Mas, once again I thank Mas, because Mas has helped this child!" syakira said well and drove Ayan to the car parked in the park.

"Same, sorry yes I can't help you more. I can only help you like that!" ayan answered, continuing to walk to his car.

"I shouldn't apologize, I apologize for bothering you!."

Ayan who saw that, he just smiled because Syakira and himself apologized to each other endlessly. Finally, Ayan Oun relented and he chose not to apologize again.

Not long ago, Ayan was near his car. At that time he immediately entered his car with a face that looks still happy.

When Ayan's car was gone, Syakira was seen smiling at Ayan's departure.

"I guess Mas Ayan, approached me because he loved me or he just assumed I was Jasmin, the woman he once loved?" syakira asked in her heart thinking that she was approached by Ayan, but then realized that it would not be possible.

Ayan would not be likely to fall in love with a street woman like Syakira. And he also felt that her beauty was not comparable to the beauty possessed by Jasmin. Even though his face is the same but he will never be the same as Jasmin who is loved by Ayan.
