Chapter 02
Childhood is a time when a person does not think about the burden of life. But the other case with Nia, he had to live a kara since the departure of Grandpa Abu.
Nia kept busking, fulfilling her own life. Every time she came home, Nia always remembered Grandpa Abu, usually Grandpa Abu would stroke her head and say "you've worked hard today, my granddaughter." But now no one will say that anymore.
Nia took a can. He shook the can, causing a noise that came from the dime he had been saving from the results he busied. Nia opened the can, she took out all the money that was in the can, there was a lot of dime in the can. During this time Grandpa Abu never wanted to accept the money Nia was busking, Grandpa Abu always said "keep it as your savings, as your future, Nia." That's what Grandpa Abu said. But Nia was forced to open the piggy bank, she did not get any money today, Nia was so hungry that she had to open the piggy bank to buy bread as a buffer to her stomach that already felt sore.
Nia walked lunglai, she did not eat all day, she headed for a small shop.
"What do you want to buy, Adek?" asked the shop mother, seeing Nia who was holding her stomach.
"I want to buy bread, One," answered Nia, looking at the face of the shop's mother.
With a swift mother the stall took 3 loaves of bread, then put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Nia.
#####
"I want to buy one, why are there three in this plastic?" nia asked, opening the plastic bag.
"Take it, it's mother love and you don't have to pay" said the shop mother, smiling with pity at Nia's unkempt state.
"thank you, Mom. Thank you very much" said Nia, bowing her body many times.
Nia stepped her foot back to her house. Somehow her tears suddenly fell down her two dirty cheeks.
###
Arriving at home.
Nia immediately opened her bread and ate it voraciously.
One bread was already spent.
He kept the remaining two loaves for tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow.
Nia stroked her stomach which already felt full.
"Finally, now my stomach doesn't hurt anymore" Nia murmured, then laid her body on the mat.
Nia stared at the ceiling of her little house, there were many cobwebs that were swinging in the night wind.
"Grandfather," Nia murmured, as her eyes instantly closed, despite the coldness of the night piercing her skin. But Nia remained closed, she was used to feeling the cold of the night. In fact, he often sleeps in a wet shirt due to the leaky roof of his house.
###
The night changed in the morning.
Nia woke up from her sleep, she rushed to sing in the streets again.
Nia's headed for the highway. The sun began to shine.
With vigor, Nia stepped foot onto the highway.
Nia reached the highway when the sun was really scorching.
With sweat sweat pouring, not once did Nia complain. Although she was a child, Nia realized that she had to find money to eat.
Lots of fancy cars passing by. Nia rubbed the sweat that poured down her neck.
#######
The red light was on, many cars stopped, with Nia's hasty steps began to sing, one by one Nia approached the stopped luxury car.
"Thank you, Uncle," Nia said, Nia nodding her head as a middle-aged man gave her a coin in a can that Nia always carries while singing in the streets.
The red light shifted the color to green. It was a sign that luxury cars had to walk, Nia ran fast to the side of the road.
Nia sat on the sidewalk. Nia Counting the dime she got from the results she busied.
"Thank God, at least this is enough to buy one loaf of bread" Nia murmured, as she put the coin back into the can.
As Nia put her coin into the can, there was the sound of footsteps of someone who stepped closer to Nia, Nia raised her head as the shadow of that person covered her body from the sunlight.
###
"Who?" nia asked still narrowing her eyes. In front of him was a man and a woman dressed beautifully.
"Hi," said the woman, her voice so softly heard in Nia's ears.
The woman reached out her hand, for some reason Nia received the woman's helping hand. She helped Nia stand up.
"Who are you staying with?" ask a beautiful woman like an angel. Now, Nia had clearly seen the face of the man and the woman. Both have beautiful faces.
"I live alone," answered Nia, as soon as Nia's answer made the beautiful woman's eyes widen in shock, hearing Nia's words. But as much as possible the woman neutralized the look on her face that was so shocked to hear the answer from Nia.
The woman then smiled.
"You want to be our son?" ask the beautiful woman.
"At the aunt's house there is good food, you can eat good food as much as you want," continued the beautiful woman with a sweet smile.
Nia was silent for a moment, then Nia nodded her head. Nia felt peaceful looking at the woman's face.
######
The woman widened her smile. Raising her head looked at the man beside her, who was none other than her husband.
The woman's husband nodded his head smiling.
The couple took Nia to her car. Nia walked in the middle of the couple. Both of his hands were held tightly by the couple.
"From now on, call me mama and this is Papa" said the woman, pointing at her own direction with her hand and turning to her husband.
Nia was in a luxury car that had never been in her shadow all this time would ride a luxury car that she always saw on the streets every day.
"Try calling me, mama," the beautiful woman asked with a smile, her eyes showing hope.
"Mama?" said Nia.
The woman also smiled more broadly.
"Mama Angel" said the woman, saying her name.
"Mama Angel." Nia followed Mama Angel's words.
"Try to call me, papa," the husband of Angel asked Nia the same.
"Father" answered Nia.
"Papa Galih" said Galih, the husband of Angel, so that Nia would follow his words.
"Papa Galih." Nia followed.
The couple smiled happily, looking at each other.
"Whose name are you?" ask mom Angel.
"Nia" answered Nia.
"Miss?" mama Angel made sure.
Nia nodded her head.
####
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a large house.
Nia got out of the car. His eyes were round wide looking at the large house that was in front of him at this moment.
"This is your home now, you will stay here" said Mama Angel, stroking gently Nia's coarse hair.
"really?" nia asked, her eyes twinkling happily.
Mama Angel and Papa Galih both nodded their heads.
Nia really did not believe what she was going through right now. Everything was a dream for Nia.
