Barsh And Kalistha (Something I Call Home)

Chapter 17: The Journey

This time they were already halfway to the Jalanan residence quite quiet this time, there were some young people who were by the roadside.

There was a little boy carrying some chocolate in his hand. He approached the people there and offered him his chocolate.

But none of them

Kalistha caught the look of a restless face on the child. His finger pointed towards the little boy.

Barsh follows the direction of Kalistha's pointing finger. Both Barsh eyes found a small child. Barsh's heart trembled looking at the little boy's face that was beset with problems like him.

"Can we go there?" kalistha asked Barsh.

Barsh who was still watching the little boy nodded. When Barsh walked would approach the boy Kalistha said,

"Down me!" pinta Kalistha's. Barsh shook his head quickly hearing that. He refused because he knew Kalistha had just fallen maybe both of her legs were still sick.

"We can't be like this in front of that kid right?" kalistha tried to advise.

Barsh wastes his breath harshly hearing that. True what Kalisthim said, it is not good to spread intimacy in front of small children.

Slowly Barsh obeyed the words of Kalistha. They walked up to the little child sitting there watching the people.

Arriving when he was in front of the little boy, Kalistha squatted to match his height. With a pretty friendly face Kalistha greeted him.

"Hey!" kalistha to him.

The little boy looked up at Kalistha who was smiling towards him.His hand began to reach for the chocolate he had placed next to him.

Looking up with his innocent face. The little boy tried to offer him back his chocolate.

"Will you buy it? It's Grandma's, she's sick at home!" the little boy explained.

Kalistha smiled watching how innocent the child before her was. Kalistha noticed the chocolate in the boy's hand.

"Emmm, it looks like it's quite delicious! Well, how much is it?" ask Kalistha.

The boy smiled happily at that. He was so excited about his chocolate.

"All?" tanyanya could not believe it.

"Yes, I like chocolate! He likes it too so I want to buy everything!" kalistha said while pointing towards Barsh.

The boy seemed very happy to hear him in handing over the three containers of conscious chocolate he was carrying to Kalistha.

Kalistha happily accepted the chocolate. From inside the pocket Kalistha took out some money width.

Barsh held that back. Then Barsh who had been standing up had also squatted to match the height of the little boy, giving him some money.

"Get your grandmother some medicine now! The rest is for you!" barsh said with a smile.

The little boy noticed the money Barsh gave him.

"Sister, isn't this too much?" the little boy asked while looking at Barsh. It made Barsh smile, rubbing the boy's head.

"A half of it is to buy your chocolate and half the credit for your hard work!" barsh told him. The boy smiled happily, reflexively hugging Barsh there.

Of course Barsh returned a small hug from the boy. Kalistha seemed touched to see how warm the child's treatment was to Barsh.

"Thank you, handsome brother!" the little boy said to Barsh.

Kalistha smiled hearing that. The boy then took off his embrace, then stood up.

"I'll go first, thank you!" said the little boy waving his hand as he walked away.

They stood staring at the boy's departure.

"His age is equivalent to Syena?" barsh asked softly while still paying attention to the little boy's back that was starting to move away from them. Kalistha nodded hearing that.

"Yes!" kalistha answered him. It was almost night Barsh also took the chocolate package he had bought.

"Let's go home, Syena must be happy with what we brought!" barsh.

Kalistha nodded she smiled. They both went back on their journey.
