In a remote village right on the outskirts of town lives a poor husband and wife they have no children because of his barren wife.
Her husband's job is a hunter in the forest and his wife is a farmer they live a life of moderation and simple.
It's been years since the beginning of their marriage, a child who was longed for by a husband and wife came suddenly, suddenly, a miracle that came like rain soaked the hearts of a couple who had dried up like a barren land but was refreshed in the blink of an eye.
one morning the wife decided to go shopping.
*voice vaporized*
"sad, you're gone?" ask the husband
"sorry baby woke you up, I have to get up this early because today is pumpkin harvest season, all farmers sell their best pumpkin today, he said, I'll barter with some of our Tomatoes, get back to rest, come back from the market I'll cook something nice for you" *couple* kiss the wife on her husband's forehead and leave the room.
"be careful on the road dear" cried the husband.
the wife went on foot to the shopping center in the village.it appears some residents have been on the move. some of them decorate their doors and windows with ornaments made of leaves and small pumpkin fruits that are yellow.
In a few hours later the village became quite crowded along decorated with pumpkin carvings with funny face shapes and quite entertaining children who came out to play, the shopping center became crowded instantly and many foreigners, survivors, and even people who came from the city to go buy quality pumpkins in this village.
the wife was bargaining with the pumpkin dealer, and a little girl tugged at the skirt and said, "i'm hungry".
the wife paused for a moment and noticed the poor girl, looking down and stroking her head.
"where's your mom son?" ask the wife
the little girl simply replied "i'm hungry"
the wife looked at the boy's eyes and all she found was a blank, empty look that was different from other children when separated from their parents.
"why is this child not crying" the wife said in her heart
"how about we go find mom son?"
the little girl simply replied "i'm hungry"
feeling pity and pity, the wife finished her bargain by quickly holding the boy's hand and taking him to the nearest bakery across the street.
after buying the bread the wife and the little girl walked towards the village security office on her way the wife asked.
"is the bread delicious?"
"want to add more?"
the little girl just nodded without making any sound.
"this little boy should be crying, but he seems to be a strong girl" the wife said inwardly stroking the little girl's head.
at the security office, the local officer was shocked when he saw the condition of the little girl in damp clothes and a little dirty and dull barefoot all the officers covered the nose and mouth because of the smell of this little girl who stung the nose and simultaneously asking the girl's name, but the girl did not tell her name.Officers found an unusual emblem on her back, the officers stared in surprise and the girl replied by looking at the officer blankly.
"where did this kid find Madame Smith?" ask officer
"he found me, sir, we were in the middle of the market, I asked where her mother was, but she just said she was hungry, so I took her to the bakery so she could eat,
" but, this boy did not cry, and as you can see sir, he just looked at me blankly and told me nothing" replied the wife.
"if so please take this child to Doctor Brown, I hear he's at the village clinic, just get there before he gets home, we officers suspect this child has fallen in the swamp for approximately 2 days..
or maybe, hopefully he's not the victim of a failed assassination attempt. If we hold him here, we're afraid something will happen to this kid.
"would madam smith be willing ?"
"of course sir, I will take care of this child until his parents come when necessary" replied madam smith confidently.
"given that you and your husband are a low-income family, I recommend that if you are unable, the orphanage is the right place even though it is located next to the cemetery and is quite scary.. but at least it can be an alternative to 2 mrs smith, please consider and still contact us if something happens".
"well sir, excuse us. Good afternoon" madam Smith said goodbye and left the security officer's office.
there was an announcement of reports of the loss of the little girl that the officer was telling him over the loudspeaker.
"mayo smart girl, we go to the doctor first huh?" take madam smith while stroking the little girl's head.
once at the village clinic the doctor was seen to have closed the clinic and left, but madam Smith shouted from a distance to stop doctor brown. the brown doctor who heard mistress smith's shout looked towards madam smith and frowned, while wondering in his heart who the little boy that madam smith was carrying.
then Madame Smith explained what had happened and the doctor let them in and the little girl was examined.
"his good news is this kid is quite healthy and there's only a few problems I've found madame Smith"
"there were no signs of violence on his body"
"no broken bones"
"a little hyperthermia and a low-grade fever due to lack of nutritional intake"
"give him enough food and drink, and his body will be as healthy as a normal child in general" explained the doctor.
"then....what's the bad news doc?"
ask madam smith curiously.
"bad news, it seems this child has experienced an incident of psychological trauma that is quite burdensome psychic, it cannot be predicted with the condition of his body that seems normal, unless he himself tells it, but this incident makes him not want to talk and just look at the speaker...
with a blank look" said the doctor
"if the madam is interested, bring this child back here tomorrow to get further therapy, I know a psychiatric expert in the city who may b..."
"no. no doc" cut madam smith
"i can't afford the treatment, I'm just going to put her up and wait for her biological parents to come pick her up"
"oh well then madam smith, this village clinic will continue to be open to you and especially to this little girl, the doctor said as he stroked the girl's head, oh and here's my business card if anything happens or I want to ask you about anything medical, I'll answer without charging counseling or free" explained the doctor.
"thank you so much, doctor, sorry for making you work overtime" said madam smith with a bow
"and one more lady smith. The emblem on the child's back is enough to make me wonder, so. emm.this will be the secret of both of us, hide the child as best you can"
madam smith nodded and rushed home.
arriving at the madam smith in welcome husband master smith.
mr. Smith expressed his concern because his wife was out of the house for a long time but at the same time shocked because his wife brought home a little girl.
after bathing the little girl and dressing her in new clothes, according to the promise of his wife they also held a very nice dinner, which was very nice, the meat from the hunt of Mr. Smith in a mixture of quality yellow pumpkin cooked so delicious that makes their dinner so meaningful.
the mistress of smith and master smith shed tears after seeing a sweet little girl sitting scooping food into her mouth considering that it had been a very long time that the empty seat had been occupied by the little girl it came suddenly like a miracle.
