Our Love Story

Vikky, Rancid Boy

"You alone?" asked Vano who was already sitting next to the ten-year-old boy

"I'm alone Om.But my Mother is in the shop" the little boy replied by pointing to a Cake Shop.

"Om alone too?or waiting for someone?"

Vano shook his head with his eyes looking forward to the increasingly crowded streets

"Om there's a problem? Um want this?"

The boy gave up one of the sunduk sweets he had not opened

"I said, this candy can make us forget the problems we face and can make us smile"

Vano smiled, then took the candy in the boy's hand

"But Mother said, candy is not good for health, especially for teeth"

"But Mommy is wrong.not not good for the teeth but not good for the eyes" said the boy with a whimper.

"For Eyes?? the truth is your Mother, not good for the teeth not for the eyes" replied Vani justify

"Eye Om..eyes! try his candy Om plug in the eye, what's it like? it's not good!"

Vano who heard that immediately laughed and ruffled the hair of the rancid boy. It could be that the child who was still snotting was making an unreasonable joke

"Om open it?" Vano opened the candy wrapper, then put it in his mouth "It feels pretty good too"

"Behold that Om's tooth is toothless, Om is old" plucked the boy

"Anak...Om is still young.again an Om has a Hospital so Om can ask to see a Doctor there"

"Om so cocky, but Om isn't a doctor, is he?"

Vano seemed annoyed and comforted by the existence of this little boy "Where do you know that I'm not a doctor?"

"It is clear that Om is not a Doctor, Om does not wear white clothes like Doctor" replied the little boy innocently

The boy thought if a Doctor where to wear white clothes, otherwise white clothes means not a Doctor.

"If I grow up, I want to be a doctor, save people's lives"

"Why do you want to be a doctor?"

"I want to treat the sick and save people's lives, I don't want them to be sad about losing loved ones, like me..."

Until here Vano has not understood what happened to this boy

"How much are you?" ask Vano is just a stale base

"Ten years Om"

Vano nodded and still enjoyed the sunduk candy with an erratic heart

Also good with the sweets

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Vikky Om, if Om?"

"Vano, just call Om Vano"

"Why are you here?Didn't your parents look for you?" ask Vano again

Vikky shook her head, "Mother is busy, takes care of the cake shop alone"

Vano nodded "Your father?"

Vano asked Vikky because he mentioned only his mother

"Dad is there Om" Vikky pointed up, to the sky.

Vano understood then embracing the boy's rancid "We're the same"

"Dad Om is also on top?"

"Not.but Om's wife"

"Om not having children yet"

They were silent, with their own thoughts, as soon as Vano walked over to Vikky, looking at the face of the poor boy, still ten years old but already unable to feel the complete affection of his parents, he said, and now only her Mother may have to fight hard to care for, raise and finance this child alone.

"Om.." call Vikky.

"What?"

"Look up!"

For some reason Vano was also confused with Vikky, and his eyes immediately looked up. Now Vano and Vikky are staring at the sky, I don't know what's on the mind of the ten-year-old.

"Well, believe me, if my dad and Auntie ever see us from above?"

Vano shook his head and his eyes still looked at Vikky "Do you believe?"

Vikky nodded "Mother said, if I miss Dad, in addition to praying and sending prayers for Dad, I can also see Dad above, so if I am sad or miss Dad, I can also see you, I always look up"

"And said Mother, I must be a good child, smart, filial and not arrogant, I also must not be naughty, because Dad always sees me from there, if I'm naughty, and not arrogant, Dad's gonna be mad" Show Vikky to the sky that's gonna be dark in a minute

"So, if Om kangen with Aunt Beautiful, in addition to Om praying and praying, Om must also look up, because Aunt Beautiful is there and see Om"

Instantly Vano immediately hugged Vikky, and Vikky also returned Vano's embrace, feeling warm and comfortable felt by the two.

This child is indeed great, at a very young age, he was able to act mature, not crybaby and sincerely accept his Fate as an Orphan, and I became curious about his Mother, he said, single parent women are definitely great of course.

"Where would Om's wife be beautiful?" ask Vano who tried to comfort Vikky with unimportant questions

Instead of answering, Vikky instead looked at Vano "Can't it be, this handsome Om has a wife who is not beautiful?"

"You're right, Om's wife is beautiful and very beautiful" Vano then imagined the face of his late wife, but there was even a Pomegranate face that flashed in Vano's mind

Why is it that your face is always present in my memory Pomegranate, even when I imagine others, you are always present.

"Ep...Um can I ask?"

Vikky tackles "Ask what Om?"

"Why did you die?"

"Said Mommy, my father died in an accident, and at that time the Doctor was late to deal with my father"

"So from that, I want to be a doctor so I can help people's lives and of course my father will be proud"

"Said Mother? so you didn't see for yourself?" vano asked heartily and curiously, afraid to fear that Vikky was sad when he remembered his father

"Yes said Mother, because I do not know Om, at that time I was still in the womb of Mother"

"And after I grew up, Mother told me everything" continued Vikky again

Astagfirullah, I can't imagine how this boy's life used to be, and his mother certainly is

Vikky looked at Vano who from earlier looked pity and pity with him

"Om don't look at me like that, I'm fine, don't fuck me"

"Oh, um, what time is it?"

Vano looked at the clock in his hand "Hour 5"

"It's 5 o'clock apparently, already want magrib, then I say yes Om"

Not forgetting Vikky took Vano's hand and salimed him

Deg

He feels like my son

"If Om misses me, come here, I always come here every afternoon"

Vano nodded and gently rubbed Vikky's head

"Or Om can find me at Mother Aira's Cake Shop" Vano's hand pointed again at a Cake Shop

"Later to meet Mother, my Mother is very beautiful"
