"Hem, Shen," call Evgen softly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Keep if you know the truth, how will you behave the same way he next?"

"How's what? Yes, it's normal," replied Shenina softly.

"Okay, you mean?" ask Evgen back.

"Evgen, if you love someone do you need a reason to do good to him? If you love him, why should you have a blood relationship problem or not? In Evgen's world, there's a closer relationship than just a blood relationship."

"What?"

"Love," Shenina replied with a smile.

"If you have love, you'll know how that affection can outweigh brother."

Shenina smiled gently, her eyes staring blankly ahead. Remembering some fun things in his life.

"Evgen you know, there's one place where you can see a lot of love without any blood ties at all" Shenina said.

"Where?"

Shenina glanced at Evgen and smiled. He got up and cleaned his bag.

"If you want to know, tomorrow you come home from school with me. I'd love to see with you, that there's a place where there's so much love but no blood relation."

Shenina smiled gently and walked away, a few steps running, she stopped again and looked back.

Back the wind blew fiercely, bringing a part of her hair flying.

"For now, let's go home," Shenina gently asked.

For a moment Evgen was silent, he was still mesmerized by Shenina's sweet face covered by a part of her hair.

Evgen smiled gently and followed the girl's small steps.

Perhaps, meeting Shenina was a precious thing in her life.

Evgen opened the door to his fridge, pouring ice water from the bottle. Slowly Rezi approached Evgen, watching his beloved sister's every move.

"Sir," call Rezi soft.

Evgen averted his eyes, looking at Rezi who was sitting behind the kitchen pantry.

"Why?" ask Evgen ketus.

"Is there nothing wrong with you? Lately, you're different, Dek. If you're wrong, I'm sorry, Evgen."

"No mistake, I'm just tired of learning so much to focus on the exam" Evgen replied.

"You want a little brother?"

"No need, I can and I can" Evgen said, leaving Rezi alone.

Evgen ran up the stairs of his house, he closed the door of his room and put his back on the door leaf.

Evgen ruffled his hair and sat limp in front of the door. He still cannot be ordinary with the reality that has been opened.

Somehow, but Rezi was very foreign in his heart at the moment. Rezi, it was no longer the older brother he had known all along.

Actually not Rezi who changed, but his feelings towards Rezi who was different, he could no longer consider Rezi his brother as usual.

Evgen ruffled his hair and pounded the ceramic floor of his room. He was upset by himself, when he was unable to control the feelings in his heart.

"Sorry Brother, I'm sorry I can no longer behave like your sister. Because in reality, we are not real brothers and sisters" Evgen himself said.

...

Shenina gave some support to Evgen. With a little laziness Evgen accepted the canteen and united it with another canteen.

"Don, Shen. What do you want to cook big? Shopping this much?" ask Evgen fussy.

"Yes, I want to cook big. So you just follow me and don't fuss," Shenina said slightly pressing.

"And don't buy any more colorful chickens" Shenina wrote.

Evgen laughed and brought his lips closer to Shenina's ears.

"If colorful ducks can't?" whispered soft Evgen.

"No! Except for the colorful sheep, you can buy it," replied Shenina ketus.

"Hago sheep-online-game-time, colorful," replies Evgen sewot.

Evgen again confirmed the location of the plastic bag in his hand.

Although he did not know what Shenina meant by this much shopping. But he also did not ask much, because he knew the truth. The woman will not act recklessly.

Shenina opened the door of her house, as she was not tired, she again struggled with her groceries in the kitchen. Preparing some dishes from his own hands.

"Done, let's help me wrap this up and keep us going."

"Where to?" evgen was confused.

"It's just wrap it up, don't ask too much," Shenina ordered as she tidied up her cooking.

Shenina glanced at the clock on her kitchen wall. He hurried to prepare the meal before dinner.

As fast as she could, Shenina ran a small walk through the small street from her home.

Not traveling too far, Shenina stopped her steps in the simple wooden house. A few small children scattered from inside the house when they realized Shenina was coming.

"Sister Shen, what did you bring?" ask some of the little girls cheerfully.

"Hem, what's the matter? How about we check it out together inside?" asked Shenina happily.

"Come, Brother. Let's go inside," welcome the little dwellers of the house.

While Evgen was just glued to where he stood. She could not believe it, Shenina cooked that much for all of them.

Evgen stared fixedly at the signboard standing in front of the house. With the iron that began to rust, even some of the names listed on the board had faded.

But Evgen could still read the name of the board clearly. There it says Mother's Light orphanage.

Evgen looked back at the house, looking at Shenina who could be so familiar mingling with the children without any awkwardness and uneasiness.

A little girl pulled the side end of Evgen's jacket. Evgen turned his gaze around, looking at the innocent face of the six-year-old little girl, perhaps.

His round eyes looked at Evgen's face with a clear twinkle. Not saying anything, but from the look in her eyes, there was a lot of sadness that the little girl was hiding.

"What's wrong?" asked Evgen kneeling in front of the little girl.

"Sister, why is Big Brother so handsome, is Brother an artist?" ask the little girl plain.

Evgen let go of his bitter smile and shook his head. He lifted the small body to enter the simple house where the little girl had been sheltering all this time.

Evgen picked up a packet of rice and gave the little girl a hand.

"Eat this, Brother Shen cooks this all for you" Evgen said softly.

His tiny hands began to open the rice packet. His face immediately beamed as he looked at the contents inside the package.

His tiny hands began to feed the food into his mouth. At first glance, his eyes glanced at Evgen. Poured a mouthful of rice in front of Evgen.

A little reluctantly, Evgen opened his mouth and accepted the bribe. Chew the food with a slight smile.

Evgen's hand stroked the girl's head. I don't know what Shenina meant to bring her here, but seeing a lot of kids here, makes her feel better at the moment.

Evgen put both his hands in his pocket. His eyes were staring at Shenina who was engrossed in playing with the children there.

Occasionally Shenina's shrieking sound was heard as she dissolved into the game.

Until the sun begins to change color, leaving an orange in the corner there. Some of the orphanage children began to enter his room and fell asleep in his tiredness.

Shenina sighed, she smiled faintly as she watched the children fall asleep one by one.

"Since when have you been close to them?" ask Evgen softly.

"Since me and Seta, I have lost both my parents" Shenina said without taking her eyes off me.

"You guys ever lived in a parlour?"

Shenina shook her head, she smiled wryly and walked out of the children's room.

"Gue never lived in a home, but when I lived alone, I got a lot of help from the orphanage. Those who often pay attention to me, sowing Seta play and also distribute clothes for us."

Shenina again stopped her steps in one of the rooms of the parlour. His eyes looked back into the narrow room with several occupants inside.

"Evgen you asked me once. What if there's no blood relation, can we still love?" Shenina looked at Evgen at a glance.

Then he went back to a pair of sleeping children hugging each other.

"They're all here, there's nothing blood-related. But they're all here, very fond of each other. For example, he." Appoint Shenina to the ward of a sleeping pair of children to the sound of a dreamland.

"The man was called Kenda, whose name was Nea. At that time Nea was 2 years old, she was left in front of the orphanage, and Kenda found her."

Evgen turned his eyes, staring at a pair of young children who were sound asleep.

"Because Kenda found him, Nea made Kenda his sister, since then Nea did not want to separate from Kenda, even while sleeping she had to hug Kenda."

Shenina smiled wryly, she lowered her head. Attracting her veins that began to feel heavy because they held back crying.

"Sometimes it's funny here, when one kid's sick. Others can get sick. Not because they are bound to each other. Do you know why this house is too shabby?"

Shenina looked at Evgen's face with a puddle of glass lining her eyes.

"Because there are rarely donors here, this orphanage only runs by relying on children they have treated to become adults and start working. They rarely want to receive an adoption license, because if anyone leaves. Then the atmosphere of this home will be sad. They can cry for weeks, you know what?"

Evgen just shook his head. He had no idea there was such a connection in this world.

"Because their feelings are so strong for each other, they don't want to be separated by their friends. There is no one here that is as bad as Evgen. But why can they love and love each other so much? That's all, because they have the same feelings and fears. They felt in the camp, and they were afraid to be left behind. For just that reason, they could love each other. Only, for such a simple reason, did they create a relationship that even siblings alone might not be as close as they were."
