"Yes bang."
The little boy raised his head again. It's hard if we don't have parents. No one gives, no one regulates and no one cares unless that person is good.
This is what the little boy must feel. A child already feels the bitterness of the world. In his childhood, he should have been treated spoiled, but not with what he felt. He must fight to achieve life and provide his brother alone like a parent who must be responsible to his child.
"Sir.. whose name are you?" ask Bram.
The little boy glared as Bram asked about his name. His name is not known. People will call him a child taor which means a child without parents.
The little boy stared at the newspaper he was holding in his hand. He did not respond to Bram's question about his name. What should he say if it is true that he has no name. All he knew was that he had been taken care of by parents when he found them still small in the middle of the road. He was still 3 years old at the time, while the adek was still 6 months. At that time if he could recall the bitter taste as he cried looking for where his parents went.
Until one time they were found by good parents, who did not have children and raised the little child and also adeknya like their own biological children. The little boy and his brother were taken by parents who found them to their own dwelling.
That day the little boy and his brother got sweet treatment from the parents who took care of him. But not lasting, a sweet taste that then turns into a bitter taste when they have to lose their adoptive parents for eternity.
"My name's-"
The little boy was silent again. He could not answer Bram's question about what his name was.
"Yes, what's your name?" tanya Bram repeated then continued by Somsi after all his customers left so he was still waiting for other customers to stop by.
With sparkling eyes he began to speak. "Yes dek... What is your name?"
From yesterday, Somsi also wanted to know what the name of the adek had persuaded him. But because Bram invited him to eat, he did not have time to ask.
The little boy did not answer. Somsi refocused on his wares when an old man stopped by to eat gomak noodles.
He was surprised to see the little boy sitting with Bram and telling each other stories.
"Why he's here, it doesn't deserve him to be here" he said rudely.
"But why sir. He's still a little boy doesn't deserve you to call yourself rude."
Somsi answered the old man's words. He was surprised that the more he grew older, not even more charity, but vice versa. With his age, he still said words that hurt anyone who heard him.
The little boy was scared when the old man scolded him. Instantly he lowered his head and cried, Lamenting his fate. Even though he experienced many trials, there were still many people who were rude and did not like his presence.
The old man pointed at the little boy. "He brought bad luck to my family. My grandfather died taking care of them! that's why I don't like looking here, get him out of here!" the hardic. He ordered Bram rough. Makes a Bram angry because it has been ordered just like that.
Who the hell is he? I like to order me.
Bram was never ordered by anyone. He often commands people. His parents were rich enough if there was any judgment regarding the richest man in the village.
"I don't want to! who is father? Dare to rule me" said Bram angrily. With fierce eyes he looked at the old man.
Bram ignored the old man, and began to speak again to the little boy.
"Sir. You need not fear, just tell me what your name is. Brother needs your name so that brother can call your name directly," explained Bram.
"I don't have a name bang" said the child.
Bram gawked at the boy's words, as did Somsi.
"What?" bram said with his bead his eyes wanted to get out of the owner.
"Why deck?" ask Somsi.
The little boy was silent. Once he nodded once he shook his head, so Bram and Somsi were confused by the behavior of this little boy.
The old man was grieving. "It's hard for you to ask that, he won't answer."
If you open a child's mouth, end your history!
The old man threatened inwardly, but he stared intently at the little boy. With a sharp look that he threw at the little boy, making the little boy not want to talk.
Somsi looked at the expression on the old man's face. Then he made a plan.
He came to the little boy and took his eyes off the old man.
"Sir... do you not want to speak honestly with your sister? somsi asked, and he began to ask the little boy to talk again.
The little boy just nodded.
With a headband means that the child is willing to tell the truth.
Bram kept watching Somsi. His gaze focused on Somsi alone. His heart was in full bloom when Somsi was nearby.
"Well, sister knows what your head bobble means. You want to be honest with your brother. Brother repeat again brother's question, what's your name deck?" somsi asked smiling at the little boy.
Seeing Somsi smile and start believing him fearlessly again he starts telling stories.
"My name is Dodi. My parents gave me my name with that name. But-"
The story is cut off making people who hear it curious about the continuation of the story that does not continue.
"But why the deck?" somsi sigap. He was very curious about the continuation of this little boy's story.
"But that uncle-"
The little boy pointed at the old man who was sitting eating voraciously.
The old man was shocked when he saw the little boy pointing at him. With a sharp look he looked at the little boy. That he used as an easy tool to silence this little boy.
"But what deck," said Somsi softly. Bram who pays attention to Somsi's kindness and softness will be his attitude as if floating and fantasizing. In serious moments, Bram still had time to fantasize.
With a feeling of fear and his heart racing, his hands shook, his sweat pouring down profusely. Moisturizes his entire body.
Gaining strength from Somsi's gentle speech and Somsi's hand caress on his back, the little boy spoke again, continuing his disconnected words.
He pointed at the old man. "But the father changed my name to the name of Taor's son. He also announced to all citizens that he was no longer the adopted son of his adoptive parents" the child explained.
Somsi felt pity and pity to hear the explanation of this little boy.
The little boy was crying harder. He cried and began to slow down. His voice began to disappear, a pain in his throat to talk.
"In-he also threw us out despite knowing my condition suffered from anemia. Hiks hyks, hykss" said the boy.
He was crying hard. Maybe he was lamenting his fate. Recalling the incident where he had to be forcibly evicted from the house where his adoptive parents lived.
