Shadow of a Child
The pleasure of Marina and Jake
“Marina, catch!!”
A red ball soars in the air, two kids are playing a ball in the clear sky, Jake kicks the ball and Marina has to catch it, he runs in the direction of the ball, and he grabbed her with his two tiny hands, and kicked back towards the man, suddenly\he shoe slipped off his foot so that it was thrown towards the man in dark blue clothes, wearing a dark blue hat with a black colored ribbon, hitting his head so that the man fell down and stroking his agonized head, he quickly approached them “I'm sorry, brother, I accidentally threw the ball and hit big brother” He apologized with his head bowed in shame, He thought they would scold him, but their actions to him were far from his expectations, they laugh with him “You throw the ball so strong son, my head is still in pain” praise the young man with a smile while stroking his head, Marina laughs little, her shy smile is known to them, they laughed on the side of the road, before long the young man ran away leaving him.
“Kak, brother where are you going?”
“School, go first yes..”
Marina fell silent, as she waved her hand, She heard the word school from him, with a curious face He returned to the yard and returned to play with Jake, they continued playing until He asked her, “Jake, ' he said, you know what a school is?” he asked while throwing, He tilted his head to the right as a sign of his curiosity, Jake who saw him curious immediately shook his head while shrugging his shoulders, it turns out he also did not know with the question of his best friend, bird\the chirping birds add to their confusion, so they only dwell on a large field of grass, even the ball remains in Jake's hands, and they run towards their home.
The big house did not give an adult voice, the big\-foot did not show any trace of it, only two small children stood in the middle of the spacious room, silent not knowing what they were doing, he said, until they bring up a smile and immediately they run around him, wandering around somewhere they go, to the room, bathroom, workspace, kitchen, library and of course the backyard of his house, their excited hearts let the two children, feeling free from adult pressure, “Dad, Miss Emily, Mr. Milo and the others are not here, only Me and Jake, respectively, feels this house belongs to us!” girang Marina while throwing pillows on the sofa, they do pillow wars, her light blue clothes expand as she jumps on the floor, children\-children become happy when their big room is filled only by them.
Before long, the stomach of a black child rang, as if they were asking for a toy to digest, he patted the shoulder of a girl sitting on the sofa in red silk, “Marina, Marina, we haven't eaten since, let's eat” with her, Marina looks at her and holds her stomach, feels the same as her best friend, Jake, She's hungry, “ Jake, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, let's eat”, take him.
“So that's what I told you, Marina..
“Color hungry, you fierce, let's eat first before your anger explodes”
Marina pats her shoulder and runs towards the kitchen, Jake laughs and chases after her, “Good, my anger explodes, becoming a ferocious lion!!!!” Both boys played even though they were hungry.
The kitchen was scrambled by them, who were starving, their cupboards checked one by one, checking each contents of the jar, “did you find food????” ask Marina to starve.
“Not yet, no candy,”
“Dad forbids us to eat candy, even Miss Emily too,”
Their eyes imagined their anger, their red faces plastered on their innocent minds, until they fell silent, his hands trembled as the faces of their two parents haunted their minds, “Jake, do not take it….try to find another food” Marina opens the cupboard under it, She opens it and finds a jar containing wheat, “Jake.. There is wheat, we eat this just” take her, they stare at the wheat\-wheat, they look at the wheat, and deciding to eat the wheat, Jake takes a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, while Marina takes two bowls, a spoon and a glass, and arranges it at the dinner table, after which she arranges, her mind drifts, He remembered the small table on the table with the tableware neatly, not only that, he saw the figure of a woman and the figure of a man who sat on the bench and called him to eat.
“Marina….
Come eat...”.
His tears wanted to come out but He managed to hold it, feeling that this was not the time to cry, and He looked at his friend with a sweet smile, they put the wheat and then put the milk in the bowl, when they are ready to enjoy it, they eat it with great gusto, after enduring the hunger, the food is available at the table.
After eating they ran again to Marina's room, they were just hungry, immediately regained energy after the bowl of wheat ran out, they jumped over the mattress in excitement, they had fun\- happy to hear the sound of trumpets from their ears, Jake looked at the window and found his master had come home from work, “Marina.” He looked at it, “what's the matter?” he asked curiously, He got off the bed, Jake pointed at the window with his index finger, his mouth open when the figure of the man got out of his car. Quickly they crawled under the bed, with their delight, a small laugh came out of their mouths.
‘dad, won't know if we're here’
………
The man entered his house and found his mansion in disarray, the item\-goods not standing where they should be, the room was originally spacious now narrow due to his house being a mess as if there was a wind \*\*\*\*\*\* pickaxe that destroys the entire house. His eyes were wide at his house, his body was frozen speechless or moving, everything was frozen as if the snow had locked him up all day, his eyes were turning to all sides, ‘they were right\- really bad boy’ murmured, he climbed the stairs and walked towards Marina's room, He watched around her foster child's room, and the conditions were the same as his middle room, messy, Jason looked around and arrived\- suddenly he heard a little laugh, his eyes were fixed on his son's mattress, slowly he approached him and on the mattress there was a sound of laughter but there was no nose.
‘kids invite me to play hide and seek
and I've found you, you guys,
Marina and Jake’
Marina and Jake are unaware of her whereabouts, they chuckle, “Dad didn't know we were here...., we have to make kejutaaaaaa.....!!!!!” marina's legs were pulled out suddenly\suddenly, her condition was stretched out, immediately shocked when her father found her under the bed, her eyes widened towards her, Jason smiled at her, feeling that he won this unplanned game, he said, Marina who has been found immediately laughs, Jake is also interested out after his best friend came out first, “Halo.
“Why are you also messing up the whole house?!”
“No, you started it, Marina!”
They accuse each other, “You two are wrong, you play with items that should not be used to play, if someone falls continue to break, danger\-right? later Miss Emily, Mr. Milo, or maybe anyone could get hurt!!” angry, the two children bowed down regretfully, “Pardon us, father, we will not do it again...” they regret his actions, so that the father's anger subsided and showed his smile, “Oke, next time do not repeat again, and you are responsible here to clean up the mess you made today” they immediately froze when they saw the whole house that was messy due to the pleasure of those who crossed the line, they gulped, “you must immediately clean it before Miss Emily and Mr. Milo come, they will be angry with you”, hear that, they immediately take a broom and clean the whole room quickly. Jason laughed at the sudden panic.
The night came, welcoming the goddess and her children\, a group of families doing their activities, Miss Emily was knitting, Mr. Milo fixed a wooden toy belonging to his damaged son, Milo and Marina playing dolls, he said, their busyness nailed them not to interact until one of them began to make a sound, the black-haired girl approached her father innocently, pulling her tunic arm with her tiny hand while carrying the bear master, who was holding her, “Dad....” Jason looked at him calmly, his eyes were diverted from the book he “Dad, do you know what school is??” he asked curiously, “The school is where we study, Marina, learn about the environment,” he said, “Then, can Marina go to school??” he asked again, when everyone looked at him, He was confused why with the word ‘school’ that He said, “Marina, actually there is no school for a child like you” said Miss Emily honestly, He heard it, “and schools in England are all for the noble class, and if there is for a kid like you or Jake, it might not be as good as theirs.
“Indeed, why is school only for princes and princesses in fairy tales??”
“Already country rules, nak”
Marina bowed, and she went back to playing with her best friend.
Jason who saw it began to feel mixed up, he wanted to send his adopted son but he did not find a school for him, and his mind went back to the book.
Marina lies on her soft bed, imagining a building filled with children\-children holding books, the same clothes, and a smile and one-sided laughter, her eyes imagining the school her father had told her about, Dream with eyes open, not sleep.
‘schools……
dad knows what that means
did you ever go to school,???
Marina is still curious about her father, did her father ever go to school, not only that he also asked the bear master, “Tuan bear, you think, father ever went to school or mother maybe?” lifting her innocently, the teddy bear dressed as a sailor floated in the air as the girl lifted her up, until her eyes began to feel tired, the doll fell on her body and curled up on the bed, with a beautiful dream preparing to enter, Marina is now asleep, the little girl entered the fairy\-fairy beautiful dream and welcomed her warmly.
Jason opened the door of his room and found his adopted son asleep without a blanket covering his body, he smiled and covered the girl's body with a blanket, then Jason kissed her forehead, until Marina smiled in his sleep, he came out of his room and turned off the lights, quietly closing his room.
“Good sleep, my son”
In the City of London, a pair of richly dressed nobles read a brown book, in which there is a photo of a smiling girl, a woman sitting and reading a paper\-paper resting, “So, marina Harlock is Jason Frederick's adopted daughter??” seriously asked, a black and white-clothed passer nodded, “Not only that, Jason has a big secret between himself and Catherine, and now they live in Edensor peacefully but Marina has not been educated at all” the maid explained about the boy, the man inhaled his cigarette, and smiled, so did his wife, too, his purple old fan fluttered his face, his clothes blooming and filled with lace and silk.
“Marina Harlock, Germany,
the boy did ruin Jason's position
He should never have lifted it”
The maid was confused by the response, the heavy words she could not catch.
“Marina Harlock, her daughter Catherine, the lower class woman should not be with the law enforcement man, as well as the police
Jason wants to break social rules, but the law is still the law
he is a man who obeys the law
then the social law must He hold until death”
The couple looked at the man seriously, while the girl was displayed on their information board, an evil smile appearing on their faces. Jason, a law enforcer, becomes the target and his adopted son will fall into danger.
