He put his tiny face behind the window, his tiny lips komat kamit talking to himself, in his hand there is a 2000 paper given by his brother before going to work part-time to meet the needs of life.
Anna lives alone with her older sister Seila. Both of his parents died at a young age. Because of a public car accident that they were riding in hit the rail track barrier.
Sheila and Anna live in a simple state, live in a shabby house, all lacking, sometimes the help of the surrounding environment comes that is so concerned with both.
"Mom Dinah, Anna is a child pinter well, not a crybaby at a young age, only five years old lhooo.", Mamah Zaki expressed admiration for Anna.
"Yes, if my son is still whining weepy, spoiled". Ms. Dinah chimed.
Before Sheila left for work, as a toy shopkeeper near her home, owned by Ms. Hasna, Anna sometimes did not come, how things were and conditions.
Usually Anna would hug Sheila while saying "Anna dear sister", hugging Sheila tightly. Then Sheila said goodbye and left the child to play with other children in the company of Bu Dinah or Mamah Zaki.
Both of them want to babysit Anna, take Anna to play in her nice house. "Zaki toys can be used". Allowing Anna to use Zaki's many and varied games. There are horses, small Vespas, cars that usually hang out in large malls.
Anna certainly does not have, in her room there is only a small size Mickey mouse doll red, in buy father as souvenirs from Jakarta, Anna's father three months ever tried his luck work in the capital. But work in Jakarta is not as easy as with expectations, it is not the wrong capital just Anna's father just graduated from Primary School. Even though working day and night is not collected. Just connecting lives.
A month's salary as a janitor is not enough for rent and meals.
Return to the village as a vegetable farmer in patiently lived, until his time to leave the world in just an instant.
"Anna wait at home well, the same mother wants to sell vegetables this time, the angkot is waiting in front of the house".
"Later to buy favoured souvenirs of Anna and Sheila's older sister, the mother gently stroked Anna's cheeks, kissing and hugging tightly, as if not to escape".
"Come on... Mom, the snob is waiting for you". While holding the father's mother kissed the forehead of his two daughters, soul mates and life encouragement in the world. The angkot driver lit the horn sound many times.
The afternoon had come, my father and mother had not yet arrived. Sheila fret.
"Usually the same mother has arrived at home". Sheila held Anna out of the house while looking left right, looking for her mother's father who had not come from the market.
Not long after the ambulance went fast, the sirens sounded and stopped right at Sheila and Anna's house.
It was my mom and dad that morning. Sheila cries hysterically at the sight of the two bodies of her mother's father.
Anna did not understand, only seeing and witnessing the many people who visited her house.
After that Anna just sat behind the window of her small room covered in light blue curtains.

"Sister, Anna wants to buy a nice dress like Princess on television, Anna saw on her television Bu Dinah. Very beautiful, I also wear a dress like a princess is beautiful times huh sis?".
"That's on Anna's television". Sheila sighed while thinking from where to get money to buy clothes, eating was still lacking.
"Yaahh brother.. ". Anna sulked into the room and hid the window behind the blue curtain.
"Prophey to Anna... ". Sheila opened the curtain and looked into Anna's overcast, sad eyes.
"Hey, uh,". Tata's shocking Sheila daydreams.
"Hhhh.., that was before leaving for work Anna asked for a dress, fitting maen to Bu Dinah's house watching television see the beautiful princess.
"When it was said on television, Anna cried into the room hiding in the window behind the curtain".
"Sadly look". Sheila lowered her head. Tata saw Sheila. "How much love Sheila has for Anna". In kalbu tata berpakap.
"It's normal that Sheil's little boy, is, is not patient and does not understand our situation". Tata tries to calm Sheila's mind thinking about Anna's wishes.

Sunday's money raised was not enough to buy Anna's dream dress, the rest of Sheila's daily salary, after buying enough food.
Ms. Dinah as a kind neighbor, never hesitate to set foot in Sheila's house and give rice that can be eaten, or leftover cakes her children's food that is still worth eating.
"Sheila is here" said Bu Hasna, the shop owner.
"Yes Mom". Sheila rushes towards Bu Hasna, as good men must immediately face the boss Bu, let alone his boss as good as Bu Hasna.
"This is a daycare for you from the children of mothers who work in America. Hasna's mother handed her a long brown envelope. It's a little thick inside. But Sheila had not been able to dare to open the contents of the envelope.
"Neng Dian's second mother's son said again there was a lot of sustenance, so all employees are loved as gratitude". Ms. Hasna held Sheila's hand who knew very well the burden of living Sheila had to live.
The money she gave Sheila was not worth as much as other employees. Ms. Hasna was very wise towards her employees.
Although monthly given on time, Ms. Hasna gives gifts for her diligent and tenacious employees.
*******
"Thank God, thank you, Mom". Sheila kisses Bu Hasna's hand with ta'dzim.
Happy is not a bitch, after opening the contents of the envelope five red sheets. "Five hundred thousand rupiah, Sheila trembled holding the money she had just received".
Sheila went straight to the market not far from the toy store where she worked, the orange dress for Anna was neatly wrapped. It was Anna's happiness and smile.
"An, Anna... Look what you brought". The white plastic contained a dress for Anna in Sheila's lift.
Anna was just quietly glued to the top of the room cot that was not filtered.
Anna no longer asks for anything, and leaves Sheila alone in the world. Kara sebang.
Silent alone, wounds still wet the heart, Anna's departure adds to Sheila's wounds, in Sheila's solitude sends greetings and longs for mother's father."
"Dad, mom. Anna has gathered. I was alone without friends. How can I continue living". Sheila's sobs broke.
Orange dress for Anna is now only in memory, sheila is still glued beside the grave that is still red. Sprinkled fresh flowers "I'm sorry your brother".
