Hear My Wish's
Chapter 17 – Searching
Sylvia's hands rubbed her heavy eyes. He hasn't been all night
sleeping because they have to keep Kirana who sleeps next to him. This time, now,
he was in the middle of a dream and reality.
“Syl?” the voice came along with a pat on the left shoulder
Sylvians.
Sylvia was surprised instead of playing to the point of making Kirana wake up.
“Pantesan from earlier it feels like you know, so. It turns out it was you,” Edwin
smile thinly.
“Ah, goblok lo, Win! So wake up!”
“Eh, who?”
“Nih!” the girl pointed at Kirana who was still cursed.
Edwin stunned. He looked at the boy from top to bottom. Shirtsleeve
still white clean, without the slightest stain or tear. A little hair
disheveled because just woke up. In fact, the backpack was hugged him
like a bolster pillow.
“That's who, Syl?” the young man whispered slowly.
Sylvia rolled up the sleeves of the black jacket she was wearing, “Kirana.”
Edwin squatted in front of Kirana, “Kenalin, brother name Edwin,” he said
while extending a hand.
Kirana welcomed the hand. But instead of shaking hands, girl
the little one actually put the back of Edwin's hand on his wide forehead.
Like a student killing his homeroom teacher.
“Eh, I was criminalized, Syl,” the young man smiled widely at the behavior
polo Kirana.
“Yes, he likes to salim kek, slap kek!”
“Kirana, you are not afraid of this big brother?” edwin's index point leads
right at the horse-pointed girl next to the boy. “Garak really, yes?”
Sylvia instantly pinched Edwin's arm as hard as she could, “Fuck lo!”
“Ouch! Ow hell! Tuh, right! Her sister is so fierce!”
Kirana shook her head, “Neither, sister Sylvia is the same
i'm. Yesterday, I was given a meal. So, I'm not getting angry either.”
“Mampus!” the girl smiled triumphantly, “Eat aloof!”
Kirana got up from her seat and held her pink bag.
“Where are you, Kir?” Sylvia instantly shifted the glare of both irises
dark brown.
“I want to find dad.”
“Oh, yes. Momentary...lo sit down first..” the girl pulls her hand slowly.
Kirana so that he comes back closer and sits down, “Wait here first, yes!”
Sylvia immediately pulled up Edwin's sleeves, dragging him a few steps
stay away from that little girl.
“Win, you help me, yes!” the door with a pushy tone. “Help me looking
her father is Kirana!” he waved Edwin's hand like a child
urged to quickly granted his wish, “Ya, yes, yes? Help me, please,
yes?”
Even though Sylvia did not repeat her sentence like that, Edwin already
it'll definitely help.
“But, how to find the papa?” ask Edwin.
“It...” Sylvia let go of her hand, “...I also don't know.”
They both remained silent for a moment. The bright brown iris is moving
at Kirana who was bowed while swinging her two legs together, her style
just like Noel.
“Yes, let's try to find it. I told you about me first, I didn't come
they,” Edwin took out his dark blue phone from his pants pocket.

Although stalled, the streets of the capital this time a little smoother, the,
school and office hours are over. Sylvia's pair of eyes continued
glancing one by one the street lights and rows of electric poles
standing on the sidewalk. Pamphlets of ordinary people, animals, or lost items
stick tight to that thing. He just needs to find a paper with a photo of Kirana
which is tacked large, then contact the contact listed there.
Nearly seven kilometers of distance was exceeded by the sedan Sylvia was riding.
Who would have thought that would produce results? The chocolate iris was fleeting
capturing a familiar face on an HVS paper attached to a lamp
streetlight.
“Win, Win, stop first, Win!” girlie
it hurriedly removed the seat belt.
Saw Sylvia rushing down from the car without giving a second or two
even for Edwin to make a sound, Kirana also took off the seat belt that secured her small body.
“Silvia's sister! Wait for me!” he opened the car door and
running around following the steps of the horse-pointed girl in a shabby black jacket
that's.

The white HVS looked at him with full concentration. Dark brown eyes iris
Sylvia noticed each letter arranged in a row forming a sentence in the
above it. From the beginning look at the paper inscribed with the missing person's information,
Sylvia was sure, the photo listed on the caption was a photo
Kirana, the little girl who had been following him for almost an entire day. Without
waiting for a long time, Sylvia's index finger immediately moved to change the leaflets
missing people in front of him.
Luck was indeed siding with the girl since last night. Pamphleteers
it contained the full contacts, Kirana's father's name, phone number, as well as address
his home made it easier for anyone to find his little angel.
“Kirana, this is your father's name, right?” Sylvia pointed at the row of letters that read
‘Hartono A.S.’
With breath gasping, the body was drenched in sweat, and both cheeks were chubby
who was slightly flushed, the little girl nodded.
Lfs nice. The finish line is in sight. Just stay in touch
the number listed, and coming to his house, the little angel will
back in his father's arms.
The girl reached into his pants pocket. He remembered that he did not
have a mobile phone. Damn, why are there always obstacles in times
like these?
running smoothly?

Sylvia leaned against Cattleya's park bench, where she and Edwin were
used to meet, to chat, exchange stories about life. Since
the young man knew that Noel was his sister, now the topic of conversation is not only
about life experience. But also the story of Noel. Edwin often
it tells the story of Noel who always inflames the fire of spirit in him to
achieve even better grades, even though the child is actually in trouble because
he had to catch up on his study time for two years. Didn't get to
there, Edwin also told me about his brother, Dean, who taught Noel
playing the piano until now the tiny fingers are already adept at playing some
children's songs without pressing the wrong keys.
The sun is right over your head. Even though he sat with Kirana
under the big shady tree, still the scorching heat pierced his skin
from the crevices of the leaves.
“Kak... Who are we waiting for? I am hungry, brother.” said the little girl
with a lethargic face. His voice sounded weak.
Sylvia sighed. He could not stand still, sitting on a park bench, he said,
continue to wait for the presence of Edwin who used to meet him when noon arrived. Moreover,
Kirana often let out complaints from her small mouth, the typical style of a child
small that sometimes makes the anger of his listeners explode.
His mind did indeed also keep another plan, which he considered an idea
ill-favoured. But, as bad as any idea, if it's like this, inevitably
Sylvia.
Kirana's breath began to drift apart, along with her flowing sweat
torrential, until the boy looks like a cat that just splashed in the
ponds. His footsteps felt so heavy even though his shoulder load was just an
the backpack contains two package books and one notebook. The power seems
depleted by the travel distance is far, plus the blazing
the unfriendly sunlight.
They had already set foot in the Old City region, a place where young men
sylvia's most disliked rancid-faced, Denis, strikes during the day.
The old town is crowded at the end of the year. I don't know it's tourists
foreign or domestic, they flock to meet this place for
photographed.
Looking for that flap blonde guy will feel really hard in between
crowds of people like this.
Bruk!
“Eh! Lo kalo jalan..” Sylvia did not continue her sentence as she recognized
the face of the new shabby hoodie
just hit it with him.
Ryan.
Just as the boy was about to speak, Sylvia had already preceded him.
“Lo is here with Denis, right? Where's denis?”
“Tuh,” replied Ryan while pointing out the direction of Denis's existence with lips
because both of his hands are full of holding the stolen objects that he
hide behind a hoodie. “Oh, <TAG1>,
yes, Syl..”
Again the girl did not give Ryan a chance to open his voice.
Without waiting for long, Sylvia immediately pulled Kirana's hand, taking her walking
approaching Denis who was sitting relaxing enjoying a bottle of cold mineral water
with his little guitar.
“Woi, Den!” the girl's hand landed on Denis' right shoulder.
So surprised, Denis to accidentally spit out the water that is in the
in her mouth.
“Ah, erah! What are you doing, anyway?! Make me surprised!” he said with tone
a little annoyed after coughing.
“Si it... Ejii! You know him, right? Anterin I'm going to the usual place he ngetem, Den!
I need to do it again!” Sylvia took out a piece of paper and showed
an address is listed below the phone number, “Gue want to come here, but I
don't know jalan.”
“Gak, ah! Males I'm on my way! Hot!” Denis took another cold mineral water
that, “Lagian also do what, anyway? I continued to work rather than help
lo,” murmured slowly.
“Den, who really did you?! I want to nolongin the Kirana, so I can go home
his house!”
“Lo is crazy, Syl?! Don't be weird! How many times you have trouble
all of them affected?” denis' index finger leads to a bruise on the cheek
left, “Nih, look! I was beaten up by Gondrong myself! He's rampaging
because of her lackeys two!”
“Try yourself, Den! I don't get any money at all!
If I go home, Kirana will also get thumped!”
“Yes, that's the pain of both of you! My bodo time, mah!”
“Si Kirana wants to go home! I want to meet his dad!”
“Mending lo nyari money only, continue late afternoon home, eat, smoke, continue
get out again, get some money, go home, kick back, get some sleep. Keep going, you teach Kirana
can I like that! It's finished! No problem!” The young man put the bottle
plastic mineral water is almost empty with rough, “Yang nyari his father
also him, not lo!”
“Den, I'm sure the kids will not be there every day earning money
afternoon, go home, keep coming back for more money if they can go home!
Apparently, if their parents do not meet, they get a nice house
little!”
“So, you want to rebel, so?” Denis stood up and took his guitar,
“Free, Syl. I'm sure no one wants to go along. All the kids in the group
we don't dare to look for problems with the leader. Everyone knows themselves!” Youth
it patted Ryan's shoulder softly which had been crying since
debate two people in front of him, “Come, Yan.”
Ryan did not follow Denis who had walked a few steps
get away from the bench. He even approached Sylvia and Kirana.
“Ryan want to come!”
