"I'll distract Selena. You go first through the window. We will meet on the main road. Bring all the valuable things you have. Let nothing be left behind. And you're. Take this taski with you so I can catch up with you sooner"
The little gray-eyed man pointed at his friend who was wearing a dark green jacket. He then stepped his feet out of the room lined with white bedding.
"Selena, do you need my help?"
As usual Edgar who had a pair of gray eyes was seducing the caretaker. Usually he was forced to do so that Selena always be kind and provide food rations to all children in the orphanage even though only twice a day. Because if it wasn't like that then that cruel Selena wouldn't give anything to all the orphanage children. Just a glass of water to drink. It was an agreement between Edgar and Selena that one day Edgar's friend fell unconscious because of a full day of Selena not giving food and drink to all the children of the orphanage who were on average toddlers. Not only that, Selena even had the heart to squeeze the children's energy without feeding and drinking.
Edgar, then seven, begged Selena to be merciful to all the children of the home. Edgar was willing to do anything as long as Selena gave food and drink to her friends. Selena did not waste the opportunity. He viciously told Edgar and some of his peers to work every day at a restaurant as a dishwasher.
The outcome? of course immediately pocketed Selena with the pretext as the cost of eating friends Edgar.
"I'm so tired. Come here and massage my head"
Selena, who has African blood, rests her body on a rocking chair made of wood with her head turned up.
Edgar grabbed a plastic chair as a foothold because his height was not up to massage Selena's head.
"What's like this?"
Both of Edgar's small hands began to massage gently. Edgar always tried to take Selena's heart even though sometimes it did not work and often made Selena beat Edgar and anyone without cause.
"Yes. Like those. There"
Selena groaned feeling a massage on her head. Edgar's two gray eyes glanced at the wall clock hanging from the wall behind him. Time shows at ten o'clock.
"Do I need to buy you medicine to make you feel better? You don't look well Selena"
Edgar involuntarily held his breath waiting for a response from Selena who was closing her eyes.
"It doesn't seem like a bad idea"
Edgar grinned happily at the answer he wanted.
"Well I'll go to the pharmacy after you're satisfied with my massage"
"No. You hurry up and leave. It seems like it's just a relief but it doesn't relieve the pain in my head. Because this is your advice so you should get the drug your way because I won't give you money"
A cynical smile unraveled on Edgar's handsome face. He seemed so fed up with all the pleasantries he was doing.
"alright. I'll go and think of a way to get the cure. Rest Selena"
Unsuspecting Selena let Edgar go. His closed eyes were trying to pull him in the subconscious. But the pain was so great, his problem was against his willingness to put himself to sleep.
After two hours Selena swung the rocking chair to relax her head. He felt Edgar was gone for so long. The pain in his head was getting worse and he felt an awkwardness. This place is so quiet. With a limp he stepped his feet into a large room that became a room for his foster children.
Selena's forehead frowned when she found no one in the room. Selena's heart is breaking. He forgot the pain in his head and ran around the building after searching every corner of the building. As a result, he found no one in the building.
"Bastard son!!! Where are you guys??!!!!"
...****************...
Edgar and his seven friends feel safe when the pick up car that gave him a ride drops him off at a train station with his seven friends.
"Then where are we going Ed?"
The blonde-haired little girl spread her gaze before finally looking back at the thought-provoking Edgar.
"I don't know, either. We have to find a place to stay"
BRUK!!
Edgar's gray eyes could not help but look at the old woman who fell down right in front of her feet by hugging a handbag.
Hardik fat man with a head without hair who wears a thick brown jacket.
"Sorry Mister. But you've bumped into this mistress"
Edgar stared at the man's bead without diminishing his sense of courtesy. His hands were stretched out with squatting bodies trying to help the old woman stand up followed by three substitute friends.
"Hey you little boy know what?"
Edgar's shoulder was patted by the old woman in front of him to signal that Edgar would not have to heed the man's words.
"Basic stupid humans!"
Bump the man before he goes away.
"Are you hurt, madam?"
Ask the blonde girl. His hand outstretched handed over the handbag that was momentarily lying on the floor as the old woman moved to stand up.
"No son. Call me Brenda and thank you for your concern for an old woman like me"
Brenda smiled kindly. His wrinkled eyes were directed at the iron chair not far from him and immediately landed his buttocks there.
"Come here you guys"
Brenda's hand patted the empty spot next to her.
"Where are your parents?"
Still with a wrinkled friendly smile Brenda looked at the eight children in front of her. Two boys had the body and height of Edgar's neck. Two more girls were as tall as Edgar's boat, one blond as one black-haired. And three black twin boys with a height slightly shorter than Edgar's shoulder.
The eight children in front of Brenda looked at each other.
"We don't have parents"
Edgar voiced with a hoarse voice of nanar view that made Brenda frown her already wrinkled forehead. Edgar remembered that he still had a handsome and handsome father. He remembered that he had lived in a large mansion. He remembers that his father was a great man. He remembered the remains of memories in his memory.
"Who have you been living with all this time?"
"We're Brenda's orphanage"
The jet-black-haired little girl looked at Brenda with a forced smile. He seemed to take a deep breath and then slowly let it out before finally telling them everything they were going through.
"God. It is unfortunate your fate. Don't be sad anymore. I am a woman of kara. If you want, you can stay and settle in my house. I'd be so happy if you didn't reject it"
Said Brenda with sparkling eyes and a big smile. All eyes of the seven orphanage children were on Edgar expectantly, no one dared to make a decision. Because it was Edgar who had been looking after them all along.
"Why should we reject Brenda? of course we will be very happy and grateful for your offer"
Edgar hugged Brenda with a happy look.
"Oh dear. I'm so happy today"
Brenda rubbed the clear spot in both eyes and returned the embrace of Edgar who had been cheered happily by his seven friends.
"Hm.. Can we call you Abuela?"
Asked the blonde girl hesitantly
"Of course I love you, and let's go home to your new home. I'll cook you guys some food. You must be very hungry right now"
Edgar and his seven friends lead Brenda with carefree hearts. The previously ever-moving footsteps of fear and nervousness are now turning into carefree steps that take them to new pages in their lives.
