The Edelweiss

24 Stay!

"You walk this far, every day? Where are your parents?" Sienna looked at the two children grimly

"Father of the work mulung, kalo new mother died 3 months ago." It was clearly the child who looked older

Sienna stunned.

Again something that smothered his chest felt so strong squeezing. It was as if they were feeling their pain, and these two little children were a picture of him as a child.

But it seems Sienna is luckier than them. Because he did not have to find food by begging or being a busker.

Suddenly, Samuel's warm hand gently stroked his arm, making Sienna gasp.

"Aren't you much luckier" murmured Sam.

Sienna looked at Sam inside. What Sam said was true. He should be grateful for what he has right now. But why, Sienna still always felt God was unfair to her.

"Sam, can you stop for a second?" Pinta Sienna as their car crosses a food store on the side of the road.

"All of you, wait here!"

Sienna got out of the car and immediately Sam came out to follow her.

"what are you doing?" ask Sam.

"I want to buy some food for them, they must be starving"

His voice was a little raucous holding back the cries.

Sienna stood in front of the shop. There were many food ingredients that he honestly did not understand what to order first.

"Excuse me ma'am, please order rice and eggs 1 cash well" Pinta Sam told the store owner.

Sienna looked at him haru.

"You sure? Want to order that much?"

Ask Sienna.

"I just don't want to see you cry, You're so ugly" Sam tried to tease her.

And Sienna was only able to cluck in annoyance, even though she knew that Sam was just joking around with her.

Almost 20 minutes, Sam and Sienna went shopping. They brought so much food and put it in the car. The two children just stared at Kaget at the two brothers he had just met.

"It's drinking! you must be thirsty" Sienna gave them two boxes of milk.

Perhaps because of hunger, the two children swiftly took it.

"Thank you brother" Tukas was both bashful.

"Sister,-" Tempt Sam slowly.

"You want to too?!" Sienna asked to give him a bottle of water.

"I'm asking for your heart?!" Whisper Sam.

"Sam," hissed Sienna.

Sam giggled when he saw the girl blush because of her actions.

They went back on their way, their car walking down the narrow street. After 15 minutes they finally arrived at a slum.

There are several small houses located a little far apart. The rest are gardens owned by local people.

"So which one is your house?"Sienna asked as she opened the car door.

"Here's my brother coming?"The two little boys pulled Sienna's hand.

Sam smiled and followed behind.

Their steps stopped in front of a house made of boards with sizes that might only fit a few people.

"Come in, brother?!"Bring along.

Despite the doubt, Sienna could not resist and entered the house. But what makes them surprised is a father who looks thin sitting resting in the house.

"Mr.. We go home"The two boys call.

"Dian, where have you been Rani?"

The father looked very worried. With a voice that sounded weak.

"I found them by the side of the road in downtown sir, I was worried and took them home. Sorry"Sienna was doubtful. Afraid that the middle-aged man was angry over his actions.

"It's okay, son, I thank you so much that you both want to take them home. They always go to the city to say something, even though the father has forbidden, "Obviously with a pale face and fatigue. It seems the man is sick.

"I'm Sienna, and this is Sam. we're from Jakarta" Sienna introduced herself.

"I'm Usman. Please sit!"

Greet him with a frail body.

"Oh yes sir, we brought some food for you" Tukas Samuel put down a box full of food.

You two are really a good husband and wife, I pray that you can get spit and spit" he said.

Sienna and Sam were mutually confused lyrics.

"Father was wrong sir, he was just,--"

"We're dating sir, not yet husband and wife" Sam confidently said

"Just....!" Sienna sizzled slightly signaling dislike of Sam's answer.

"Oh so. Once again the father is grateful for his help. the father is often sickly, especially now the income of the father is not much."

She was staring at Dian and Rani.

Sienna sat down and approached Mr. Usman.

"If you may know, your father's wife died because of what, sir?" Ask Sienna curiously.

"My wife died of a terrible illness, and was too exhausted." The pain was holding back the crying.

"You must miss your mother? We are the same fate.Sister also miss the mother brother" Sienna hugged the two children.

There was no point in holding back the cries, Sienna no matter how others saw her. Losing a much loved protective figure. It was the deepest pain he felt.

Sam stared fixedly at Sienna, obviously the girl was very hurt. Even the three of them cried bitterly for quite a while.

Time doesn't seem to show at 5 p.m. Cloudy clouds in the sky. The wind is so strong, indicating soon it will rain.

"Sir, we have to go home first. It must be raining soon" Sam turned to look out the door.

"Why don't you guys just stay over? you must be tired" Ask Mr. Usman.

"Don't get paid, we'll just go home."

Timpal Sienna.

The two of them stood up and were about to get out of the house,

But suddenly, a flash was seen grabbing the trees near the house, and instantly created a loud bang.

"Aahhh" Sienna let out a startled cry and hid in Sam's arms standing behind her.

Sam, who was a little surprised, held him tightly. He looked at the sky so dark. There would definitely be heavy rain if they continued on their way.

"Look, the rain has started to fall. You stay overnight, it's dangerous to drive in the rain"

Usman is obviously worried.

Sienna was still very frightened and buried her face in Sam's arms.

Rain is a beauty,

Many people have sweet memories of the rain.

The water falling to the ground,

even able to create a very complicated Rhythm.

But it also sounds beautiful.

Sometimes rain is a mystery,

Many dark stories are created, therefore.

But for me, the rain is a gift.

Because thanks to the rain, our Sweet Story exists and is created.

Sienna looked up at Sam,gamang. Unconsciously she had hugged him long enough.

"Sorry," he was nervous.

"Kanya, Pak Usman really too. We can't go home in this weather. The rain will surely be heavy."

Sam's Advice.

Sienna stared deep into the clumped clouds, looking so dark and terrifying.

"Already, so. You better get in! The wind is getting stronger"Take Mr. Usman.

With a heavy heart Sienna finally accepted his offer to stay at Mr. Usman's house. To be honest Sienna was not used to living in a new place. But this time, what can you do. Sam was with him anyway.

Suddenly, Sienna's heart felt warm thanks to Sam's presence.

For some reason, he felt safe when he was near Sam. Something she had never felt since her mother's departure.

But, Sienna was also scared. His comfort will turn into a catastrophe someday.
