THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
24. The genius child's view was indeed unusual..
Two months later, a week before Sera's birthday, the father and son moved to the villa.
Registration for Pre-TK is not as strict as Kindergarten and elementary school–which must follow the schedule of the education calendar.
The company is not in a hurry.
That day, celebrating Sera's birthday, Reksa invites Sera to come to the orphanage to share gifts and prayers together. Although Mutual is not a very spiritual person, it is indeed human nature to seek and do things that bring good luck. In other words, a blessing.
If the dream he experienced could lead him to Sera, Reksa hoped that the goodness of today's activities would be channeled to his daughter.
Sitting in a simple chair on the terrace, Reksa watched the orphanage children run and laugh.
The largest of them was only six years old. While the smallest one is still breastfeeding, it is still a few months old.
Every month there are abandoned children. Sometimes so full, the abandoned babies will be transferred to another home. Sometimes they accept, sometimes they don't.
Supervision of similar institutions Orphanage children in recent years is in the spotlight after the revelation of the case ‘Angker’, or so the name of the community.
His case is notorious for crossing the moral line of humanity. Her children were fed expired, unkempt, and persecuted. The children there are left to find their own food in the pile of expired food. Until something is buried in it.
Further examination to find the baby graves in one of the rooms until it is not managed.
The bunker may not be the only one. There may be a lot of things out there.
Most large orphans with life choices are in their hands; however, choices are limited. Once these children grow up a little, they will realize that what is around them is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Reksa notices Sera telling a fairy tale she learned at school to the children around her. Although the children surrounding Sera were much older than him, such knowledge made Sera care even more. So more care for the children around him.
Things that are difficult to achieve even though it can be expected. What Sera does is not simple sharing, not just lending things.
His lifetime–for 30 years less this, maybe this is the only good thing that Muta did for others without any bad motive behind it.
Throughout the day, Reksa sat chatting with the Head of the House. Other than when Sera came to ask for her bottle, she did not come to Reksa anymore.
Mutual thought, maybe he was forgotten again, like the first time Sera started school.
“Children do like to cool themselves when gathered with their peers.” comfort the Mother Head of the House who sits on her side, realizing clearly the look hit on the face of Reksa.
Mutual smile back.
Before coming here, Reksa said that these children had no mother and no father.
When Reksa said, “They don't know where his mama-papa.” is
Sera's expression at that time was like finding an astonishing new discovery.
Mutual guarantees with his existence, Sera can do whatever she likes. But that doesn't mean he wants Sera to grow up to be a clueless child.
***
"Can't be confused." Sera shook her head slowly with her index finger raised; mimicking the movements her teacher once made. His round eyes stared straight firmly. Although it doesn't look scary at all. The child around him chuckled at him.
"Smooth is both playing. Replacement." But Sera undaunted and explained again.
After receiving a positive answer, Sera went on to tell her interesting events at her school, such as when she told Papa every night. While telling the story, his hands actively folded the paper.
Sera gave the plane folds to the child beside her before making a new one for herself.
His papa said he wanted when Sera was born, people were happy. That's why they came here.
The kids around Sera's house have a father and a mother. Only Sera has a mother.
Therefore people were looking at him with evil gazes.
Sera could not imagine how many evil gazes the children here received when they had no father or mother.
Papa says these kids don't have a father or a mother. Sera asks ‘they where?’
Papa just said ‘later also Sera tahu’?
Mean what? Sera doesn't understand.
Sera still had no papa, until her father came alone to meet Sera.
If Papa doesn't want to, Sera will be alone.
Little Sera looked at the children around her laughing and running to play the plane.
Maybe they're here because no one wants them?
Sera ran to one of the children and played the plane together.
For today alone, he would not hug his Papa. At least not in front of these kids.
Sera felt how envious she was when she saw another child cuddling with her father in the evening.
He did not want these children to be envious of him.
Sera knew how terrifying that envy was. He had thought, if the next-door neighbor's child does not exist, maybe the child's father will look for a new child?
On the one hand, Sera hopes that it will be ‘the new son’ it is her. He often imagined it; because the boy's father always looked at Mama Sera. Maybe he wants to be Sera's father?
Thankfully, Papa came.
Only after school did he understand, what was not his, then not his. He cannot take it unless someone else gives it or lends it.
Other people who learned this in school would also not think of seizing his Papa. Of course, Sera would also not lend Papa, much less give Papa to others.
"Aren't you skolah?" ask Sera to the boy who feels the oldest.
"schools. I'm first grade in SD."
Sera nodded. This kid just mediated. He had similar traits as the older brothers in the Sera School.
"The other school?" ask Sera again. The boy laughed when he heard it.
"They don't go to school." he explained: because their age is not enough to enter the Elementary School; go to the Elementary School do not pay at all. They only have difficulty with school materials, such as books, bags, shoes, and the like.
Unfortunately Sera did not hear and was immersed in her own thoughts.
***
That afternoon, after returning from the orphanage, Reksa heard her daughter say seriously:
"Papa, delicately whip up the skolah."
They who? Children's parlors?
"...." - ".Looks like the sympathetic effect is too big? "school? Why?"
"How much money?"
Mutual not have no money to send children home. But he's not the oh-so-cheap guy to do that? Once in a while, but if you continue to do so, the sweat and sweat that he produces is even used up to support others?
"But Papa's money is not for Sera?"
That statement was like a surprise to Sera. From his face, his daughter might think 'oh right too, I should how?'
"Sera want them to go to school?"
Sera nodded.
Whatever the cause and reason, Mutual felt pride in his heart hearing his daughter propose the unthinkable for the children. Maybe this is called the genius child's point of view? Could Sera be feeling concern for them and thinking of creating a brighter future?
"Okay, Papa think about it."
It's just that this must be considered carefully and planned. At least, he may be able to choose special children to sponsor. Well..
