Destiny Love Maira

Life Purpose

It's about Erika....

It's been a few days. Erika still works at the cafe as usual. In order to support his life ahead. Not much he expected now. He just wants to make the most of his time. I don't know when he'll survive. But as long as she is able, then Erika will use her to better herself again.

Every time she came home from the cafe, Erika always brought food for Akbar and Ayu. Two sisters who are now friends and entertainers of Erika. These two great children turned out to be able to divert Erika's sadness about the fate of her life that was so sad.

Every afternoon, he always brought leftovers from the cafe, not leftovers, only unsold and cold food. But still good and worth eating. If you buy food every day, Erika's money is not enough for that.

Like this afternoon, Erika stopped right near the city park where Ayu used to wait for her brother who was busking.

"Father" call Erika

Ayu who was playing with her little doll immediately turned to Erika.

"Beautiful sister" cried Ayu so excited. He even immediately ran up to Erika who was now sitting in the garden seat.

"Look what you and your sister brought" Erika opened the plastic bag she was carrying.

"Wah cake" Ayu exclaimed innocently. Erika laughed at hearing that.

"Not cake. It's called pizza. I brought it from my sister's workplace. Call your brother. We eat the same" said Erika.

Ayu immediately nodded quickly and ran to the side of the road. She was screaming for her brother who was still busking.

The boy immediately turned his head and immediately ran towards his sister.

Erika was really touched to see these two children. They seem to love each other so much.

"Sister quickly go home" said Akbar. His face was dull and looked tired.

"Yes, today my sister is coming home quickly. Come on sit down. We eat the same" asked Erika. They even sat down on the green grass under a shady tree.

"What is this, brother?" ask Akbar

"Bisang" said Ayu.

Erika laughed at hearing that.

"It's not the Yu banana, it's the Pizza" Erika replied.

" Oh yes it is. Hehe" Ayu laughed funnyly with her toothless teeth on the front.

"It must be expensive" said Akbar who received a slice of pizza from Erika's hand.

"This sister gets free from the big brother's place of work. Sorry, but it's cold, not good anymore. Buying your sister's money is not enough. But later if you pay again. Brother invite you to eat well" said Erika.

Akbar immediately smiled and shook his head.

"No need to bother. It's so delicious. Even if there is no money, we often pick up used bread in the trash" said Akbar.

Again Erika was immediately touched by her heart to hear the words of this little boy.

"From now on, not again. There is already a brother. Later sister will bring food for you every day." said Erika.

"So good sister" said ayu.

"Not only have you" said Erika.

"So, too, are orphans like us?" ask Ayu innocently.

Erika immediately smiled bitterly hearing that.

An orphan???

No, he still has parents. Complete, well-rounded and happy family.

But he's alone and alone now.

"Have eaten. You ask a lot of questions" said Akbar to his sister. It seemed like this boy understood that Erika's face looked sad.

"You want to stay with your sister?" erika's bargain on these two kids.

"You want to" said Ayu quickly.

Erika immediately smiled happily hearing that.

"Sister, Akbar is not good if you keep bothering brother. My brother has been very good with us" said Akbar.

"I'm not happy to see you guys. Brother said it. My own brother and no one. No one wants to be friends with you except you. Than you guys living under that bridge. Mending at my sister's. People's homes, but don't know when he's coming home. As long as he's not around, we can hang out at his house. Brother will be very happy if you want to come with brother" said Erika.

Yes, he had already decided to take these two children to live with him. Although from the beginning he was doubtful, he was afraid that if he was sick, what about them.

But when he saw those who had strayed like this, Erika also did not have the heart. Living together is not better. They can help each other later. Erika also wanted them to sleep in a decent place, even though the house was also narrow. But at least they have a place to hide.

"You yes" asked Erika again.

"But I can keep busking." asked the boy.

Erika smiled and nodded.

"May, but may not ask and beg. You have a sister now, wherever we are hungry, we can't ask for yes" said Erika.

Akbar and Ayu immediately nodded quickly.

Erika immediately smiled happily looking at them. Finally, he had friends to share his happiness with. Yes though happy just by looking at their laughter.

"Well, what if we eat at home. The day has started late afternoon, afraid of rain" asked Erika

"But our clothes are still there, brother" said Akbar, pointing to a bag on the edge of the barrier.

"When we take it, we wash it at home. I also bought clothes for you to change. Yuk" take Erika

Akbar nodded happily. He runs towards his bag while Erika holds Ayu's hand to cross the road.

But suddenly his eyes were fixed on an exhibition of paintings on the side of the road. Until he was a little interested to see it.

"Wouldn't you like to see that?" ask Ayu.

"Yes, let's take a look" Erika replied

Ayu just nodded and followed Erika to that place.

The paintings on display are quite beautiful and meaningful. Erika was amazed to see that.

"Seeing look neng, the price is cheap really. I want to take it to the gallery tonight" said the old man.

"Daddy has a gallery?" ask Erika

"Have my boss. I'm just looking for a good painting" he replied.

Erika was stunned hearing that.

"If I sell a painting, you want to buy one?" ask Erika

"May, the important thing is good and worth the art. Our bosses have all kinds of paintings. Especially the high meaning" replied the man.

"If I'm going to sell, where should I come?" ask Erika.

"Come to the gallery on the highway of hope. There central. But in the distance, I often hang out here or near the National Park. Neng can come there" said the man.

"Oh well sir thank you. I will definitely come" said Erika.

He looks so happy. This is an opportunity for her too. Erika likes to paint, this is her pent-up talent from a long time ago. But because her father didn't like it, so Erika never showed it. Hopefully his painting will produce and can for the living costs of the three of them. Yeah hopefully.

Erika no longer thought about her declining health, she just wanted to support Akbar and Ayu. They need it more now.

Yes, it is better than throwing away money for treatment, which even he himself does not know can be cured or not.

Wash blood every week, donor kidneys and death. It feels so sad if you have to imagine.
