Sariel and Vienna packed up quickly. They want to leave the favilium. Didn't want Nino to come back and attack Sariel. Enough already the suffering that Sariel experienced because of Aryan selfishness. Don't let Nino add to his burden.
At 7pm they arrived at the Vienna residence. A temporary place for Sariel to take shelter before he thought ahead to look for a new dwelling.
Many of his workers offered him shelter. But Sariel preferred to go to Vienna's residence because he felt more familiar with them. Even though the house is small with many residents. Sariel remained comfortable with them due to their warmth.
After dinner, he immediately headed to the room normally occupied by Vienna. While the two Vienna sisters slept together in the other room. It was clear that Sariel still remembered today's events that had befallen her. Parents who had been considered as his biological father with his insistence that he was the child of his mother's affair with other men. Repeatedly he sighed he threw away the tightness that filled his chest cavity.
Where there are children who are not hurt when they get humiliation that is endless like that. Even the incredible humiliation was obtained as well as by his mother who was gone. There is no place to look for justification.
Even closing his eyes he was unable to cry but he also could not. It is free to show his weakness in front of everyone, still everything will not change and return to how it was.
Sariel was aghast when she heard the old door creaking behind her. Vienna walked over to her with a faint smile. In his hand was a blanket that looked slightly worn out in color.
"This is a blanket for Miss. Wear it. Tonight the weather will be very cold because it is starting the dry season in the village."
Vienna handed the blanket to Sariel. But Sariel refused. He really felt sorry to see their situation.
"No Vienna. Wear for you. I'm used to dealing with cold air" he said, still with a gloomy face.
"Miss. Don't say it like that. The cold air here and where we originally lived was different. There is a warm room, while here at night the wind will continue to blow carrying a piercing cold. I'm sure Miss won't be able to sleep one bit."
Sariel thought for a moment, he did not know what the situation in the village was like when the drought had arrived. He also grabbed the blanket. Making Vienna lips carve a happy smile.
"Sleep here in the same bed as me. Tomorrow help me find a new home."
Sariel's hand moved to pat the thin mattress they were on. He felt very sorry to see the life of the Viennese family. But he was also very envious of the warmth of the family.
The next day, Vienna and Sariel go to the city to find a residential house as desired by Sariel. But for half a day they had also not found a house that matched Sariel's wishes.
After the trip was quite tiring, they decided to stop for a while at the food stall. Hunger made their stomachs both like they were stabbed and twisted by something.
Ketupat Kandangan is a menu that is suitable for eating during the day. With its thick sauce and feels very savory because of the coconut milk that is cooked in it, coupled with the taste of soft-tasting Cork fish that has been cooked with a mixture of chili sauce large dried red plus red and white garlic are blended finely. Add to the pleasure of eating them.
"Miss. How about we go home after this? Looks like Miss is tired too."
Sariel glanced briefly at Vienna, then resumed eating. He was really hungry after a day yesterday his appetite disappeared.
"But we still haven't found a new home for me" he said after the food in his mouth.
Vienna smile. "But there's still tomorrow. We'll look at the other housing. How's it?" tawar Vienna.
"Miss looks very tired too."
Sariel nodded in agreement. Maybe it's Vienna who's tired for now. He lowered his ego a little.
Vienna stood for a while, asking permission to go to the toilet. He felt stifled, hurried to leave Sariel who was sitting alone again.
But after that, there was a young man with an age range of 30 years approached towards Sariel. Sit in front of Sariel.
"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous to sit here without my sister's permission."
Sariel raised her head for a while, looking at the still smiling man staring at her. He did not know the man one bit. His eyes moved around him. The stalls look very crowded. Maybe those who just came lack of seating.
"Please," he said indifferently while reaching for the white water that was still half a glass. Sariel sipped her slowly. But his eyes were fixated when he saw the man in front of him not taking his eyes off. Sariel felt very uncomfortable with all that. And he hopes Vienna will come soon.
"Did Sister Sariel forget about me?" He smiled still staring at Sariel intensely to cause pain in the forehead of the woman who looked confused.
A few seconds later, Sariel was still trying to remember the face of this fairly ordinary man. There were no memories in his mind. He shook his head slowly, causing a crisp laugh from across his desk.
"Of course my sister forgot about me. At that time we often played together at the age of 4 years old."
Sariel was silent, he did not remember anything at that age. Perhaps this man was older than her until she remembered him clearly. He did not dare to comment at all, afraid that all this was just acquaintances in the form of fraud.
"I heard from the sister's talk earlier that Adik was looking for a new residence. And I'm sorry that I've also been sassy eavesdropping on sister's conversation."
The man seemed to think for a moment then looked back at Sariel. Making Sariel silently watch over him.
"Look, I have an elite residential offer for you at a low price. Since you are a new customer then I will give you a big discount. Hows it? Is my sister interested? We're still family, anyway."
Sariel shut up for a moment. His mind raged between believing in a new person or not. He was desperate to find a new residence but he wanted to choose an official residence. To get a residence according to his wishes is very difficult. Most of the dwellings he came to today, all of them are in the alley or small road.
"The location of the house is also very strategic, located in the city center. Close to shopping and offices if the younger brother is a worker."
The man's words seemed reassuring until Sariel tried to believe him a little. What's wrong, good people come to us when we're in trouble, right?
"Is your brother a marketing man?" Sariel stared doubtfully at the man who looked reassuring. He does not want to be fooled by the lure of cheap prices.
"No. I'm just an ordinary person. I happen to have a friend who wants to sell his house. He asked me to offer it after he moved out of the country" he explained.
"How about sister, I just give you my business card. My sister can contact me if she changes her mind at any time. I don't mind waiting for news from my sister" he added, handing Sariel a business card.
The young woman grabbed it, she cradled the card before keeping it. He looked at the man named Awi in front of him. We will ask for the opinion of Vienna first.
The man immediately left Sariel's presence after his affairs were completed. Along with the rise of Vienna. After paying for everything, they soon returned home to the Viennese family. This afternoon there is a schedule Sariel to check his orange garden. Some of his laborers are picking their fruits to sell in the market tomorrow.
