"Who's the noodle and the egg?" ask Ask.

Aleena fell silent, her gaze still fixed on the contents inside the crackle bag.

"Sister Na," the Aunty's call made Aleena turn towards Aunt and her uncle. His face looks so glum.

"What's wrong?" ask Aska again.

"He helped Brother Na" Aleena replied.

"Who?" ask Orange also Ask simultaneously.

The boy smiled when he saw a man already hugging Aleena's body. He also saw that Aleena was comfortable returning the man's embrace. When his face was no longer in the form of an arch, a smile was still engraved on the face of the boy. Slowly he began to rise from the place where he was gang-raped by the punk. He left by forgetting the rustling pouch that was inside; the alley.

"Mom, can I have a glass of mineral water?" ask him weakly. "But I don't bring money."

The shop owner's mother immediately gave the child the mineral water she asked for, She looked compassionately at the child who was the same age as her child.

"What's wrong with you, son?" ask the mother. He also helped the boy wipe away the blood that was still flowing at the tip of the child's lips.

"I was attacked by a punk kid in that little alley." The boy grimaced in pain as the shop owner's mother cleaned the wound on his face.

"The punk kid over there has been so unsettling. Already expelled, but come again and again," said the mother.

"There were police there. Hopefully they are arrested" said the boy.

"Where is your house?" ask the mother."Let me take you back."

"No need, Mom. It's close, '" subtly reject the boy.

"Mother sincerely helps, son." The boy smiled warmly. Even though his lips still hurt when moved.

"At Mother's Father's orphanage" he replied,

"God, Son. Take the angkot only need twenty minutes," said the mother again. The boy was a smiling ghost.

"Near by, Mom. Just three more kilometers." Mother's heart grimaced. Unlike the case with the child who even smiled very sincerely.

"If you don't want to be ushered in, you take the angkot, yes." The mother took the money into her stall and gave it to the child. But the boy refused.

"No need, Mom. It's better the money to buy the finished thing at this mom's stall." The child saw this mother's shop was empty, moreover the mother gave a hundred thousand rupiah.

"Son, but-"

"I only ask for bottled mineral water?" ask the boy. "For my provisions on the road."

Without a second thought in the mother was giving mineral water as well as tasteless water to the child. But the boy refused. He just took mineral water.

"Thank you a lot, Mom. Hope mom's selling continues." The boy kissed the shop owner's hand so politely. The mother's heart melos get treatment from this poor child.

"Whose name are you, son?" ask the mother with a sad face.

"Ladders." The boy's smile was incredible and began to continue his journey to the orphanage where he lived.
