MY GRUDGE TURNED INTO LOVE OVER TIME

Deal

"Don't forget Ca's phone, too often" Tiara said, as Caca was already in the car and was about to drive to Rey's house.

Caca, who opened the car door, could hear the words of his best friend. "Sure," said Caca who slightly shouted because the car had started to go.

"Yes, come on," asked Papa to return to the mansion.

***

While on the car ride Tomy had to stop because of the traffic lights are red.

In the area there are many children who immediately go down the street approaching motorcyclists and cars.

Of them there are those who sell newspapers, buskers, begging, until there are those who offer services just wiping the body of a motorbike or car.

On the glass door of the car Tiara can see there is a small boy, maybe about the age of five years who approached his car. The little boy looks pathetic. With shabby clothes and a dirty face, it might have been a few days that she had not bathed.

Carrying the child's snack wrapper standing next to the door of the car right Tiara sat down, hoping someone in it would give him a little coin or sheet of dime.

"What do you want?" alex asked when he saw his wife taking out some money from his wallet.

"Pity him Mas," Tiara replied by directing her gaze at the boy outside of it.

"Do you not know! There is already a law that prohibits giving money to beggars" Alex said.

"But this is not much. It might even just be enough for him to buy two packs of rice." Tiara disagrees with her husband.

Papa and Mommy just quietly listen to their debate.

"Yes, whatever." Alex relented, knowing his wife was now very stubborn.

Tiara smiled at her husband who was no longer willing to argue with her. With a slight lowering of the windshield of his car Tiara took out her hand which held a few pieces of money to give her.

But the boy shook his head. Tiara knitted her eyebrows together, feeling astonished.

"Tante, help me!" he said softly with teary eyes. And several times his head looked in several directions.

"Honey, love me" cried Alex, when he saw his wife was silent.

"Wait a minute" said Tiara, who did not let go of her eyes on the boy.

"Tante, help me!" again only that word came out of his little mouth. And his round eyes were staring expectantly.

"Mas" call Tiara. "Come here." Tiara told Alex to come closer to her.

Alex immediately approached his wife. "What's wrong?"

"Just look at this kid, he doesn't want me to give him money, but he said 'help me'" Tiara asked Alex to look at the boy.

And again the boy kept saying the same sentence.

"Here, don't mind him. If you don't want to give money already." Alex who did not want to take a headache immediately returned to his seat and leaned his back on the back of the chair.

While Tiara, still did not understand the intention of the little boy who had asked him for help.

Watching the little boy, Tiara recalled her sisters who were in the orphanage. Most of them also come from the streets.

Again the boy turned his gaze in all directions, until his gaze was fixed on two men who were standing not far from there. The child's body trembled slightly in fear, as the man stared at him sharply from a distance.

Tiara immediately turned to look at Alex. "Mas, it seems like the little boy was frightened by the man who was there," Tiara said by pointing her index finger where the two men were standing.

Alex could also see the thug-looking man. "What do we need to do?" ask Alex.

Tiara was actually hesitant to say her wish. But his instincts said that he had to help her. "Mas, we'll help him!" pinta Tiara with a face.

Alex's eyes were immediately round at the request of his extraordinary wife. "Darling, that's impossible. There is a social service that can handle them" Alex said trying to give understanding.

Tiara exhaled her rough breath. Again his eyes fell on the boy. Pity enveloped Tiara's heart.

"Maas ...." Tiara started to whine. But Alex is still flinching. It's not that Alex didn't want to help the kid. It's just that if you see the thugs who are across the street, of course they will not stay silent if Alex helps him. Alex doesn't want to if one day they'll take revenge on his family.

Tiara panicked even more, when she saw that her husband was silent. Tiara's eyes occasionally look at the traffic lights that are still red, maybe soon it will turn yellow.

"Mom, Pah," finally Tiara tried to ask her in-laws for help.

Mommy and Papa look at each other. Then breathe out slowly. "Honey, if you want to help him, then Alex has to. Because after all, the child will be the responsibility of both of you," said Papa. Then he looked at Alex. "Alex, try to fulfill your wife's wishes" said Papa.

But Alex masi was the same, silent.

Tiara grew increasingly violent when the traffic light was already yellow. Suddenly his brain has an idea, and Tiara thrusts toward Alex. Tiara whispered something into her husband's ear.

Alex's eyes were wide. "Are you sure?" the question is not to believe.

Tiara nodded her head quickly.

"Ok, deal," Alex replied with a big smile.

Mommy and Papa just stare confusedly at the child and his daughter-in-law. I don't know what deal they made.

Tiara immediately opened her car door, until it shifted to the side. "Come, come in." take Tiara.

The little boy was silent. Between being confused and feeling happy there is someone who finally wants to help him.

Tiara's hands stretched out to help the boy get into his car quickly. Before the thugs realize his actions.

"Come," take Tiara again.

With a tremble the tiny hand reached out to welcome Tiara's hand.

"Hey!" shouted one of the thugs who realized Tiara's actions. The thug immediately walked towards Tiara's car.

Tiara immediately pulled the hand of the little boy she had grabbed, and carried him into the car when she realized the thug was getting closer to her. And quickly closed the car door.

The traffic lights are green. "Tomy Street," Alex said.

Tomy immediately drove the vehicle with a little tight, lucky they were in the front row until it was easy to get out of there.

The little boy Tiara sat next to him. He just lowered his head. Maybe he's still scared. Until shortly a voice came from his small mouth. "Thank you Auntie" he tweeted.

Tiara who had noticed him, smiled immediately. "You're safe now, there's nothing to fear" Tiara said, stroking the boy's hair.
