"Son, your sister is dead, and they're carrying her body! You have to let your sister go"
The words of her Papa a month ago still ring in her ear. I want him to curse his grandfather who did all this. But what can a 15-year-old do?
He had tried to convince his Papi, but his words were not believed, the grandfather really prepared this drama perfectly. Death letter, until the fake grave has been prepared by the grandfather as proof of the death of the younger brother.
Even his grandfather brought a child to take the place of his sister.
' For our good' The reason his grandfather always gave. And at this time he can only resign himself to follow all his grandfather's wishes because of the health of his mother is not possible.

Two years later.
Queenza pedaled a gift bike from her stepfather, today the mother asked him to buy some goods to the next village.
He stopped to rest for a while, rarely could he leave the house like this.
He sat down, looking at the vast expanse of rice fields stretching in front of him.
Now that his life is so much better, he can accept the fate God gave him. A smile can also come back from her sweet lips.
In the first year of living with his father and his mother, his life felt so heavy. He only stayed in the room, went out just to eat, and helped with light homework such as, sweeping or washing dishes, only, the rest he just spent his time staring in front of the window of his room or curled up in his bed.
Until the end of that year, a news on television made him excited to move.
News that shows the news of his family, Mami and Papi who drove the brother to the airport to continue his study.
They smiled sweetly when faced with the camera, he felt the tv with teary eyes.as if it really touched them."I miss you guys so much." Mumbled wailing.
His eyes condensed, his heart was relieved to see them fine, although it was also painful considering they were not looking for him.
"Stop, Za." Resha threw her hand off the screen.
"You see! You can be relieved now, they're fine even they look happy." He is still faithfully silent, hearing the words of the Mother.
"Queenza, listen to me. They can smile without you, they survive but never look for you, so stop expecting them as if they were the only ones who love you."
"I was guilty of throwing you away at birth, but I was forced to do so, and I regret it, can you give your mother a chance to atone for her sin? Let's start at the beginning, let's live without their shadow, do you want?""
He was silent at the time, but the tears that fell on his cheeks showed how badly he was injured.
He's hurt! He's disappointed! Why did the family he had always hoped for never come looking for him? Didn't they say they loved him?
He returned to his room without saying a word, returned to confine himself, curled up in that not-so-big bed.
A photo that he had brought from his home to be a treatment of his misses, lucky his grandfather gave his school bag so he could have this photo. he held it tightly, holding it with tears.
Enough's enough! he no longer lamented his fate. Enough's enough! he did not want to cry about the atrocities that happened in his life.
That night he decides to start a new life, he will rise to start his new life with his biological parents.
He smiled a little considering his downturn, also remembering the happy faces of his father and his mother when for the first time he called father, mother to them.
although after that he had to accept the decision of the mother who never again allowed him to watch tv because he was afraid there would be news about the happiness of his old family that would make him hurt.
But he remained grateful, at least someone accompanied him through his worst time.
The faint cries caught his sense of hearing, seemed to bother him.
"It's hard, Ga. I can't ride!" Shouted a boy, he grew to notice from afar what the boy was doing. "Find the stairs, Ga!" Shouted the boy again, making him curious.
And his eyes widened in anger, when he saw the bird's nest in the boy's hand.
"let go of the chick!" His cry was angry, he still advanced despite knowing the boy was bigger than him.
"Basic has no feelings! Don't you feel sorry for that bird? it will be a waste of being separated from his family!" The meaning again, the bird's nest he snatched from a teenage boy who is now staring at him with wide, confused eyes.
"Let the poor chick, I'll save you!" He said as he stroked the bird.
From far away he saw another child approaching them. "Inder here, I'll take the stairs! " Excite the man's friend." You can go up and turn that bird's nest into a tree." Said the boyfriend again, making him frown in wonder.
"Reverse to the tree?" Ask.
The two teenagers turned to him, "Lo who?" The man carrying the stairs asked.
"He looks like a bird fairy! he said he wanted to save the chick from me." The teenage boy he snapped earlier.
From lo? don't you just want to help the chick?"
The man's friend's words embarrassed him, as if he had misunderstood. "Sorry !" Her speech.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were deliberately taking the chick."
the teenager smiled "This time I'm sorry, next time you should ask before cursing people."
The man's words made his lips pursed.
"Ga, help hold the ladder!"
" Okay, boss."
Queenza approached them "The bird, I help hold the ladder, yes." His words were taken by them.
The man began to climb, take the stairs one by one until he reached the tree.
but when he came down, the stairs that became his footing broke making him fall.
His friend tried to catch his body, but instead fell. Unlike Queenza who retreated backwards, he survived without any injuries.
"Awww" The two men clamored together, while Queenza reached out to help them wake up.
"You're this, yeah, instead of catching my body back away." The man's murmur, which only the smile responded to him.
"I'm just realistic, brother. I knew I wouldn't be able to hold your weight, so I decided to retreat. If I get hurt like you, who's gonna treat you?"
"Come here I'll clean your wounds! " He took water from his drinking bottle, washed the man's wounds, then looked up at another man who might need his help.
"I can do it myself! Just help my friend." The man said as if he understood.
He reached into his pants pocket, only one plaster left while he had to treat the wounds of two people. He looked at the two men in turn, the scuff wound of the man who climbed up was quite wide while his friend was just scratched.
"Here, use this plaster to cover your brother's wounds!"
The man accepted it, he took out a handkerchief, hesitated but it seems that the man needs the handkerchief more now.
"Done!" Satisfied speech.
"Go home later, clean your wounds again with antiseptic so as not to infection!"
He said, "Sorry, I have to go! Thank you for helping the bird!"
Queenza took her bike. He could still hear the man's cry "Hey what about his handkerchief?"
"Give it back to me when we meet again!"
