Eps. 2. Brillianty Jeanette Tendean

"Hey... Mbing. you cleaned up the class..."

Rilly's arm is pulled back into the classroom in a rude manner by two girls, Lorry and Debra, the ruling duo of this class who become friends of the class hygiene group on duty today.

"Your turn. when I keep doing it myself..."

Rilly answered softly. Lorry just sneered past him, while Debra imitated his words but in a stinging voice, then connected with the sentence...

"You're underlined to do it alone.. Okay?"

Debra's shoulder grazed Rilly's shoulder, then left the classroom with a menacing look.

Rilly, this 163-centimeter-tall girl has a beautiful and good name, but her fate is not as good as her name. His achievements are not as brilliant as his name, class rankings always enter the top three from behind, he is not at all suitable to bear that name.

Life is also not as bright as the meaning of his name, he has obvious physical shortcomings, there is a gap in his lips, the popular term is cleft lip. It should lack operability, because it is not a difficult operation to degree cleft lip belonging to him, even the state facilitates with free operation, but so he is now, being a girl who is always bullied even in her own home environment.

Finished cleaning the class Rilly left the school with a shunt step. Still looking at the few students in the schoolyard, he passed them while bowing his head.

Rilly nearly toppled over while crossing an enormous empty courtyard, someone butted his back violently from behind.

"Aww..."

A guy in a gray white uniform, a sweaty face with messy hair was chasing a kite break up with a father who was wearing a black PSH suit.

The guy just turned his head for a moment and continued his run, while the father in the official uniform paused when he saw Rilly after successfully balancing his body massaging his shoulders and back in pain.

"I'm sorry, Brill..."

The father looked concerned at the girl but immediately continued to pursue the child he had to take care of with his soul and body.

"Son Brill.. later we make a new one, do not need to be pursued..."

Rilly just stared sadly at the two people who had already drifted away but were chasing each other for different objects. Rilly complained short of enduring the pain in his shoulders and back. The guy did accidentally hit him earlier because his gaze was fixed on the kite he was chasing. Now is indeed the kite season here, but it is a bit strange to see a child with a live strata like Brill do that, while other children are now more focused on toys on their phones.

Rilly knew the guy of course, they were classy since the tenth grade, names in consecutive absences, several times a group in the making of assignments, and, but rarely or never do they talk to each other. They were only classmates, could not be called classmates, after all who would want to be friends with a girl like her.

Rilly sped up his pace, many tasks awaited him at home, especially oma Betsy. In the distance he can still catch the figure of Brill who is now entering the official house, this shortcut is the closest way to go home on the same road as the regent's official house.

Arriving at a spacious house full of trees and flowers that were planted carelessly without considering aesthetics, Rilly further accelerated his pace.

"Yet you're late!"

A high-pressure loud voice greeted him at the side door.

Om Emil ruffled his waist with a piercing gaze in front of the door.

"Please om. sorry, today's the class cleaning schedule..."

Rilly stood with a scared face on the porch, he didn't dare to go in if Emil was still talking.

"Hurry in, take care of mami! Already since the morning he pup, replace diapersnya stench has spread to here. Next time..don't go to school before mami pup!"

"Om fine..."

Rilly walked in with his weak steps. Going to school did not have time for breakfast, at school it is impossible to buy snacks just for her stomach organizer, she was never equipped with pocket money. Now that he has to clean up Betsy's oma, it means he will continue to do other work, hopefully filling the stomach.

"Yiang oma's..."

"Rilly.. oma already smells so bad..."

Rilly smiles for oma Betsy. Without changing her uniform, just putting a bag of books on a chair in Betsy's oma room, Rilly walked into the bathroom, and then she went to the bathroom, turn on the switch to turn on the electric water heater and prepare all the toiletries of the Betsy oma bath. Afterwards he opened the window and flicked the curtains letting the air change.

For simple things just open the window, the occupants of this house who in fact the children and grandchildren of the oma Betsy are reluctant to do so. Earlier this morning when she was leaving school, Betsy complained of being cold so she left the window closed.

"What clothes do you want to wear?"

Oma who was lying helplessly on the bed moved her head to look at Rilly who was opening the wardrobe.

"Oma wants to wear a negligence of red flowers given by Isye..."

"Oma Kangen aunt Isye yes..."

Rilly asked while looking for the shirt that was meant by oma Betsy.

"Oma Kangen Isye and Irma..."

Oma Betsy replied with tears that began to pool in the eye when she mentioned her two daughters who lived in different cities.

"Then, Rilly also find a white cardigan who is loved by aunt Irma. finished bathing, eat first we just call aunt Isye ya oma..."

Oma Betsy began to cry, the helpless old body shaking. His physique is limited now since he fell in the bathroom, his pelvis bones cracked and could not recover as usual due to age. He was only cared for by a high school boy, not a nurse.

"Don't cry dong oma. later Rilly scolded aunt Isye..."

"Yes. yeah..."

Oma dried her own tears. After Betsy's oma dressing suit was ready, Rilly took a wheelchair. The bathroom door has been made wider so as to make it easier for Betsy oma to the bathroom with a wheelchair, making it easier for Rilly to clean the oma. Betsy's oma bath time is only once a day, and that's after Rilly gets home from school.

With deftly Rilly doing his job, there was no more disgust for almost two years doing this. Betsy was taken care of by a special nurse, but then Rilly was required to take care of the oma.

Betsy's oma house is inhabited by Aunt Ineke, the youngest child of Oma Betsy. Aunt Ine is a PNS, her husband opened a motorcycle workshop on the main road. Aunt Ine and Om Emil have three children, the oldest is in college in the state capital, the other two are here one school with Rilly but different classes. There's aunty Irma's son here too, married and has a cafe business on the beach.

In this mansion Rilly is just a pick-me-up child of Betsy, a child who is considered unlucky because of his physique.

There are habits and beliefs that are still held by a group of people in this area, if there is a child born then sickly, the child will be 'dumped' or raised by others so that the child can grow up healthy. Rilly has since been a sickly baby, and Betsy's oma asks to take care of her. But only Oma Betsy treated her well, others treated her as a maid in this house.

He often met his biological parents, but never once did he see an attitude of acceptance or simply a recognition that he was one of their children.
