Shadow of a Child

Shadow of a Child
Human Behind the House



“You're uneducated!”


“Lower class girl!”


“Stupid!!”


The words of the teens' mockery haunted her mind, Marina lay on the sofa in a quiet atmosphere, no words\-words, “Jake went to the market with his family, Dad is at work, he said, from yesterday he has not just come home, only I am alone in this house, I want to play with who if here only the wind is silent and quiet???” muttered, then a small shadow emerged from behind the wall, the old master apparently came to Marina who was lonely, He jumped towards her, her delicate and petite body was on top of her, “Marina!!”, he jumped towards her, He returned from his mind and found that the bear was smiling on it.


“What's up?”


“That's...Marina, usually you're with Jake, now where is he??”


“She is going to market with her family”


He nodded


“If your father or your mother??”


“I don't have a Mother anymore, She's already in heaven”


“And I was adopted by Mr. Jason”


Hearing that, he began to fall silent, and came down from his body and approached his face.


“You still have,”


“But, no one else..”.


Before long, the window shook, they stared at him and the colorful,\-hued bird smashed into the big window, Marina and the bear were confused to see, not only that, a rabbit suddenly\-appeared, his white fur was surprised when he saw him sitting on the sofa, a deer ran when his eyes saw the girl with a light purple ribbon, Marina who saw him angry, he drove them from the house.


“How do they get in?!”


“Did you bring them in, bear?!” he accuses the doll


“Not, the frustration they come by itself,” he replied with concern.


Marina tries to drive them away, so they run out of her house, “Gawat...., the boy knows where we are!” panicking one of the animals, He began to be shocked when He heard the words\-words that had just come out of the animal, “Gosh, they could talk?! is it just my imagination??” muttering, and as they ran towards the forest, Marina stopped as she stood in front of the dense, green trees and not even a cool floor.


“ada forest behind home..?”


“do I have to enter his”


“I wonder if there was the beginning of this animal talking?”


The curious girl hugged him, at first He wanted to ignore the forest, but it called out to him, so the curious still called out to him, without hesitation, He approached the forest, not only had his black shoes stepped on the ground from the region, he was lifted out.


“Nak, danger there!!”


“Don't go in, no one will know that you have anything there!!”


Mr. Milo lifted her out, apparently they had returned home, his hands were holding her body tightly so as not to fall, Marina was still looking at the forest, her big eyes were staring at the tall leafy leaves away from her, then his body started to touch the ground, “Marina, you don't know, the forest is dangerous, there is no playground, later if you fall continue to hurt, how??


No one knows, nak”


“But sir, earlier the animals came into the house to mess up the contents, I kicked them out and they spoke!!” Marina explains what really happened, but she did not believe it, He breathed and squatted towards her “Marina, there is no such thing as talking animals, she said, it's just a fairy tale that our parents told us before going to bed” He stroked her hair so that it was ruffled, and Mr. Milo took her back home.


…….


“What, any animals can talk??”


Jake was surprised after He listened to his best friend's story, long time wide He told it, “Yes, they started talking when they ran!” jake begins to wonder and tries to understand the conversation.


“So, they went to rum”


He nodded


The bear sat next to him, “right, kawan” he replied.


“But I still can't believe him” Marina said as she pointed at him, the bear was confused, “what's the matter?” tanyakene,


“how can they get in if you call him, and even you appear from behind the wall suddenly like a ghost just”


They fell silent, “I started to get confused...” Jake gazes at the roof ceiling, Marina and the bear start to get curious about him, “what's the matter, Jake??”


“They must have entered because there is a reason, right?”


They're tickling


“There's no way they're just in here, there must be a cause, but what??”


Their brains start to spin, their mind machines rotate that they start to work, wild animals enter their homes for a reason, but this is still a mystery to them, their residence now holds a mystery that invites them to play on condition that they must solve the mystery.


……….


On the other hand, Jason was reading a file\-file that was on his desk, the room was so quiet, there was only himself and the table as his friend, today he was so busy with his work, he was so busy with his, “The case never ends, from yesterday I went to the house of the witness but they showed the description of the perpetrator and their testimony related to the death of the woman,” he felt saturated until a letter entered his room.


“Master, Jason, Mr and Miss Belldock would like to see you


at their home”


He was astonished, by their call from the prominent magnates, the Belldock family.


“Any, just this time they called me to visit his house?


do I have to accept


or should I refuse??”


His decision was in his hands, “If I hadn't come, I would have been in trouble, and if I had come, they would have wanted to seduce me”


The dilemma was in his hands, with a straight, He decided to accept his invitation, He packed his things and started driving his car towards the mansion of the honorable noble.



The car began to walk towards the large black gate, as He walked towards the gate, the two red-clothed guards opened the gate and welcomed his arrival, the palace-like mansion greeted him with a bush\the neatly arranged bushes formed a path, the courtyard was as green and vast as no one had ever stepped on it or placed its feet on it. Then he parked it in front of a large brown door, instantly, a pair of men and women dressed in dark purple came out and greeted him warmly, “Good morning, Mr. Jason Frederick” greeted him, welcome him, he simply placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed as a sign of respect, “Good afternoon dear Mr. Harry Belldock and Miss Maria Belldock, , it is a great honor for you to invite me in this busy condition, what caused Master and Miss to call me in this urgent condition?” he asked with respect to the elite noble family, they invited him to enter.



When entering his house, the spacious room greeted him warmly, the floor and ceiling of his\-ceiling were emerald green, the chimney gave off a hot red flower so that it illuminated the entire room, but it does not illuminate the entire room until it looks a little dark from the chimney “Please forgive us, the lights are damaged and will soon be repaired” said Miss Belldock, Jason just smiled and followed their journey, said, until they stopped in their backyard, wide and felt the sea breeze, cool and the sky looks blue and cloudy, in front of him there is a small round table, and, on top there are three cups of white color with gold-striped flowers, and a golden stool with a bearing patterned pink roses of silk, 3 the bench stands behind the green yard, the green yard, the house stood near the cliff, however, the house of these nobles became more beautiful and beautiful.


“Please sit down, Mr. Jason”


The man invited him to sit, he accepted him and sat respectfully with the nobles, and they sat down as the policeman began to sit on the silk bench, then the black-clothed waiter came with a tray on top of which was a piece of blueberry cake, and one of them poured white tea, “White tea from China to our special guest” Jason just smiled and took off his suit and it was hung behind the bench “Thank you for your invitation, so what can I help you today???” ask him politely.


“How about your case, did you find the answer?”


Jason just smiled, “Not yet, the frustration appeared a mysterious death case again with the same motive, the killer looks shrewd once to remove his tracks, and try to escape from us” he replied while drinking his tea,


“Then, you adopted Marina Harlock, the son of Hendrick Harlock and Catherine Harlock, that famous sailor family, how is he doing??”


“He's fine, but He still misses them, and I can't afford to be a good father yet,


even looking for a school for her,


and at home, Marina is an energetic child, and a good child with her maid”


Jason imagined it until a smile appeared on his face.


“We know how you feel, Jason, this may be the first time you adopt her, but one day you will be patient and used to her” Miss Belldock smiles at her, She understands the feelings of her best friend, “dan, she said, I'm curious about you, why do you want to adopt a lower-class child, can't you raise a middle-class child that suits you??” while cutting the cake, Jason smiled, and thanked him for the meal because he had to go home and meet his family.
