Clara shrieked in pain while holding her bloodied head.
The stones that were still raining down on his body continued to fall on his skin which already contained many scars.
The sound of children laughing while shouting to him sounded very excited.
He mocks her and sings songs using her name.
Of course it is not a beautiful song that can be sung for a lullaby or just an amusement song.
The song full of ridicule and ridicule over her was commonplace Clara heard every heart.
But the boy could not resist or scream for help or scream in pain.
About ten children not far from his age were circling him while throwing small stones at him.
All he could do was cupping his body to protect himself.
But apparently they were not satisfied with just throwing stones, a jubai was very painful when two to three hands pulled his hair.
Clara hissed in pain while holding her hair as much as possible.
"Clara's a fucking kid..~Clara pesky child ~..."
That is the sound they sing every day.
Clara could only hold it in until they were completely bored and left.
"What are you doing...! hurry up if you don't want me to hit you with my stick..!"
Shouted the boy about seventeen years old, Teo raised the body of Clara who was still sitting on the ground.
The boy with clean skin and black eyes looked at Clara while clucking dislikes.
"I told you to fight them.You'll always be like this if you don't fight"
"But they're so many I can't" he said in sign language.
Teo could only sigh in annoyance, all this was not Clara's fault, but Teo still felt angry because Clara could not protect herself.
"Other times you'd better avoid it, so you don't have to be like this anymore.Your situation is really worrying"
Clara laughs at Teo's chatter, she's happy for Teo to worry about it.
In this village only Teo thinks of him as a human who deserves to be appreciated.
The village is a small part of an island far from the rest of the island.
Because it is located on the beach, then most residents have a livelihood as fishermen, one of which is his grandfather who lived with him since childhood.
His grandfather was a small fisherman who didn't even have his own boat.
Every day grandfather will rent with some money from the catch of fish, and of course the rest to connect life every day.
Like today, Clara who was about to wait for her grandfather to sail was even blocked by bad children in her village.
All the children did not like him because he was mute, besides Clara has skin that tends to be black and her hair that expands corrugated make her appearance worse.
It's just that the eyes that the girl has are a little special, Clara's eyes are blue and clear like the sea is amazing.
But because of the difference that the children in his village no one wants to be friends with him because he is very different.
Moreover, the family background of Clara who had nothing, making them able to do anything for the poor girl.
In his village he included the poorest citizens, Clara who lived with her grandfather always got different treatment by the surrounding residents.
Although she was only a seventeen-year-old child, but everyone in her village treated her badly, they did not look at Clara who was a minor.
The age of teenagers in his village is determined by the village elder, the village elder will announce the maturity of a child from the ceremony of maturity, the village elders will announce the maturity,and at that time both girls and boys will be determined and they will marry at the age of twenty-two.
But of course Clara would never be able to perform the ceremony of maturity.
Never mind making a party, the clothes he had were only five sets.
All clothes that have been worn and torn here and there.
Clara had to wash her own clothes diligently if she did not want to wear dirty clothes all the time.
The sound of Clara's loud belly made Teo distract her.
"Are you hungry?"
"Come with me. I bought you food all over me"
"What is city food?"
Teo looked at Clara's sparkling face, the girl looked as enthusiastic as ever.
"Yes, I bought you sausages and bottled drinks"
"What is sausage...?"
"It's like the meat you cut smooth then you shape elongated like a sea cucumber"
"It looks so good...! I'd like to try...!"
Teo laughed as Clara stood up and pulled her hand with vigor.
Though the girl's body was full of wounds, but she could still stand up and smile like that.
Teo had known Clara from her childhood, her family which belonged to the elite in her village had always opposed her playing with Clara, fearing Clara would be bad for her.
But somehow Teo never had the heart, seeing how the people in his village tortured the child who could not do anything.
He starts to get close to Clara as Clara helps her who is about to drown in the sea.
It was because his legs were suddenly cramps while playing in the sea that he almost lost his life if there was no Clara.
"Sit down, I will prepare the food" he said when he reached a secret place.
It was a place where they used to share food without anyone knowing it.
Teo has to secretly feed Clara after school to keep her parents from suspecting her.
"This is sausage.and this is a delicious bottle drink, he said it is made of natural ingredients"
Clara looked at the long-shaped object, then sniffed it.
"The smell is very good.Is this eaten right away?"
Teo immediately took the sausage from Clara's hand and opened the plastic that was still wrapping it.
"Eat.", he said as he thrust the sausage.
Clara immediately ate the sausage, her eyes instantly widening as she felt the soft flesh sensation of her mouth.
The girl nodded a few times, meaning that the food was really good!
"The delivery ship from the city arrived last night, and there were so many delicious new foods.Fortunately I can still bring you home..."
"Thank you..."
Clara smiled happily, because Teo himself could eat well like the others.
At home, he can only eat one or two times, his grandfather rarely came home because he always sailed for fish.
Clara got used to feeding herself and eating potluck.
Teo stroked Clara's hair slowly, looking at the girl who was eating her voraciously.
He was happy to see the development of Clara, the girl was already able to use sign language.
Every time there was free time Teo continued to teach the girl sign language and also writing.
At school, Teo always plunged himself into the library, where he always learned how to do sign language in order to communicate with Clara.
And the result was not bad, even though Clara never went to school but the girl was able to respond quickly and understand what she was taught.
You have to be strong.you have to be independent before I leave...
