The Night Butterfly
Chapter 2
Ayu immediately headed for the kitchen to pick up two glasses of water. Marta was endlessly staring at the beautiful girl who was sobbing. His heart felt pain seeing a clear circle that did not stop falling.
"It's a drink first, Mar. I'm sorry, I can only serve you a glass of water." His words are full of regret.
"It's okay, Yu. Oh yeah, Yu, is that your son? Why is she crying like that?" ask Marta lirih. The lady's bead was already dewy.
"She's my daughter, Mar. She ...."
Ayu could not continue her words. His throat felt choked as he was about to explain to Marta.
"here, Honey. Auntie has something for you, "call Marta to Agni.
The little girl immediately got out of the chair and approached Marta. The little girl who was sad. Marta held him up and placed him in her lap. The little girl smiled warmly.
"Here, Auntie has chocolate for you. Eaten huh? It's delicious, you know," said Marta softly.
"Thank you, Auntie. Agni's hungry, does Auntie have any food other than chocolate?" ask Agni plain.
Martha rounded her eyes perfectly. Ayu's heart felt torn to shreds hearing her daughter's words.
Her tears shed for a moment. Martha looked towards the mother of the child. The woman lowered her head while sobbing. With Marta's feelings. The woman's heart was like that of an invisible dagger.
Agni-the little girl who should get a lot of nutrition, but her condition forces her to fast. I don't know what feeling enveloped Marta. The lady's bead was caving the river.
"Darling, haven't you eaten yet?" marta asked as she gently rubbed Agni's head.
"Yes, Aunt. I ate yesterday afternoon. Mom said she didn't have money to buy food" said the boy.
"You go to the room first! Aunty will invite you to eat well at the restaurant. Aunty wants to talk to your mother first" she asked gently.
"Why ..why is your life like this? I'm sorry I came late. I am not a good friend to you" he said. Marta sniffled in her place.
"No, Marta! You are the best friend in the world. Perhaps, this is already a stroke of my destiny." On his sobbing Ayu replied.
"Now, get ready, Yu. We go for a walk. Poor your son's starving. From now on, you must come with me!" marta said firmly.
Ayu raised her face. Look at that brown netra. There's sincerity there. Ayu can feel it. Indeed, from a long time ago, Marta was the one who cared about him the most. Ayu nodded obediently, then prepared herself and Agni to come with Marta.
******
The hoarse voice from the man beside her scattered all the daydreams of Ayu. The man hugged his innocent body. Looks like there will be another 'game' that requires Ayu to get ready soon. The man turned his head to ***** Ayu. The woman wiped her tears rough.
"You why?" ask the man.
Ayu was surprised, only this time there was someone asking about her condition. Usually, when she was crying over her fate, the man who paid her would tell her to stop crying. Not infrequently their hands easily slapped Ayu's smooth cheeks.
"I'm fine!" sahut flat.
The man got up from his position. Staring at Ayu's bead. There was a deep wound, he could feel it. The man felt touched by his heart. He was eager to rub the head of the woman who had given him that pleasure. Hugged him tightly and gave him strength. This is really weird, isn't it?
"Come here! Cry so that all the burdens in your heart will be lessened" he said as he spread out his hands. Ayu was silent for a moment.
This guy is so soft. Even as they wrestled in one blanket this man treated him like a human being. Touching his body with caution. Ayu felt like she was making out with someone who loved her.
"Why are you quiet? Come here!" said again. Ayu hesitated to approach.
