I'm ending Our Nestapa

Chapter 10

Four years before the murder happened.

Mila's two twins are now five years old. Their body growth is very good. Nina is good at speaking many words. In addition, he was also able to care for his sister, Nani, painstakingly. Because he knew Nani was different. Who else would love Nani, if not her?

For five years, their mother never paid more attention. Boro-boro speaks like the parents of other children. Even every day, their mother's attitude is far from caring. Often when feeding them, packaged rice is thrown roughly. It was as if the two cubs were animals that no longer desired their existence. Because until now, the mother still can not accept the reality of Nani's condition.

Now Mila and her two children are no longer living in Reva's house. Since Reva's marriage, Mila has lived independently with her two daughters for a year. Working as a laborer in a convection factory owned by Reva's husband's brother.

Fortunately, Reva and her husband often visited the contract. Bring milk and food for Nina and Nani. Concerned about the living conditions of his best friend, they consider twins like their own children.

Actually there are other things that make Reva and her husband so considerate with Nina and Nani. This is because the couple has not had children in their three-year marriage.

As happened today. Reva and her husband came to bring something inside the white crackle.

Every time Aunt Reva and her husband came, Nani groaned for a carry. When Nani's body and hands moved up and down it signaled that he wanted to be carried immediately. Because, when carried by Aunt Reva, Nani felt immeasurable comfort. Because his own mother never did that.

“Nina, have you and your sister eaten?”

Nina shook her head while she was singing her lips. And immediately Reva's heart felt sad. He was sure that Nina and Nani had not eaten this afternoon.

“Well, since you haven't eaten, Auntie bawain nih.” Opened the white crackle that was brought. Once opened, it turns out that in it contains their favorite food and drinks.

In the sling, Nani moved excitedly to see the food she loved so much. I can't wait to get rid of the hunger that has been wrapped around the stomach. Finally, he asked to come down. Impatient with the hunger, he quickly opened the lunch box that Aunt Reva had taken. However, just as they were about to devour the food, Reva prevented it because they forgot to read the prayer before eating.

“Nina ... Nani ... remember before eating what should first be?” Reva's index pointed and then raised his hand to invite the twins to pray.

“Praying, Aunt. Sorry Nani, Aunt. Understandably we have not eaten this morning,” said Nina.

Reva gasped for a moment and the husband heard the little boy's words. They look at each other too. It was worse than expected. Nina and Nani from the morning had not eaten. Inner Reva and her husband whimpered. Seeing them is so alarming. You can imagine how much their stomach aches, holding back the hunger from this morning.

“Ya Nina, sorry Aunt. Aunty does not know if it turns out that from the morning you have not eaten. Now pray first. Then you can finish all these foods.”

Nina nodded then led the prayer to eat. After the prayer, the gentle touch of Reva's hand in her hair allowed them to eat. "Well, now you can eat. Let's get the food over quickly."

They also eat well. Seeing them eating, Reva and her husband shed tears. This is not the first time they cry because this has often happened every time they see the two children.

...*****...

“Actually we want to take where bu?” tanya Nina felt astonished at the clothes she was wearing now. Mila forced her two children to wear a hollow t-shirt here and there. Even deliberately dressed to look dirty. The child was suspicious, mother would definitely tell him to beg again. Just like two days ago.

“Have not asked much. Let's take the road!” mila snapped and encouraged her two children to walk faster.

Nina and her sister couldn't escape. If Nina could, she would run away with her sister leaving their birth mother. So they won't be tortured again.

In her heart, Nina groaned when she was told to beg again. He was sure that his sister could speak, and felt the same way.

Shortly after, their footsteps reached the terminal. The distance is quite close from home, making their trip only take a quarter of an hour.

Upon arriving at the place, they were immediately told to beg. Expecting the mercy of people. What a nelangsa their lives.

Nina whined a few times, begging her to cancel this act, but her mother's glaring eyes always beat the request.

“His alms, Ma'am," Nina pinta on the middle-aged woman she was near. Putting on a face so that the woman would feel sorry for him. But unexpectedly, instead of pity the woman turned her face away. Not wanting to linger in front of people who do not want to give money, Nina also stepped aside.

Next he and his sister approached a father who was busy smoking cigarette smoke.

“His alms, Sir.”

Unlike the woman earlier, the father was much friendlier when Nina and her sister approached. He smiled so warmly. For a moment he slipped a cigarette on his lips. Then his hand reached into his pocket. From his grasp, the man is seen holding a lot of money to give.

However, how surprised Nina when the father gave her a hundred rupiah dime. It felt like Nina wanted to scream right then and there. Even if he was a child, he knew his pride. Apparently, behind his friendly attitude, the old man indirectly insulted them.

“Pak, take aja, sir. We don't need alms, Mr.”

Without hesitation, Nina returned the dime. His attitude made the father angry. His face was red. The cigarette that stayed half and then slammed and trampled with anxiety.

“Ekh, your arrogant beggar yes!” Then the man pointed his index finger exactly at Nina's face.

“Originally you know I'm not a beggar. I was forced to beg because it was told by my Mother,” answered Nina and immediately scolded her sister leaving the old man.

From a distance, their mother knew. Mila went straight up. Grumbling, she chased after her two children.

“Hei, where are you going!”

Hearing the scream, Nina immediately invited her sister to speed up. For her, it's a good chance to escape her stepmother-like birth mother.

“Come, quickly run Nani. Do not let Mother chase us,” exclaimed Nina tightly holding her sister's hand. As often as possible he looked back. His little legs could not run faster. Until their mother got closer.

On their faces they look so anxious. Nina really wants to get out of her mother's clutches. If this was caught, he and his sister would definitely suffer more.

Because of that, Nina continued to struggle to accelerate. His sister groaned and asked to stop. He was no longer able to run.

And when both of them were tired, the miracle of God came. From the side of the car a sedan speeding. Directing their mother.

Seeing that the car was about to hit him, Mila hurriedly stepped aside. Unfortunately, he collapsed onto the asphalt. Lucky the driver of the car braked on time when it would hit the body of Mila who could not be moved.

Actually Mila was resigned to his body was hit by a car. His eyes were also closed.

In the distance, Nina who saw her mother almost hit by a car, quickly approached. Wanted to help. Afraid of anything happening.

“Mother, Mom is okay?” ask Nina when she gets closer. The boy looked very worried. Although often tormented inwardly, he was actually sad when he saw his mother wretched.

But the anxiety of his son, did not make the heart of Mila touched. Even scolding. Blame those who fled.

“Pake it again," snapped Mila. His eyes glared fiercely at the two children. Nani was terrified to see her mother's face. And quickly hide behind Nina.

“For you both, I'm like gini. Try if you guys didn't run away earlier, I wouldn't like to know. You all have to take responsibility!”
