The small and fat white feet were walking so excitedly down the road on the outskirts of the rice field. Carry a basket filled with several types of snacks. Her black, wavy hair waved back and forth following a gust of wind that so gently swept through her hair.
Beautiful girl is fat and healthy, her favorite is young coconut water and young coconut idioms are very fresh and healthy. His skin was pure white without any blemishes even though he lived in the village.
“ Aunty, Ester bring fried...” the cry of the child managed to make the bird that perched on the rice fly to and fro so that the voice of the adorable little boy who had been thrown away by his mother right after he was born.
Esther's name, no last name without a middle name. A little girl who just turned five. He had lived in the village for a long time since he was born.
“ Geez Esther your voice makes birds fly, screech once,”
“ hahaha Esther is suitable to be a paddy guard, her voice is very loud,”
Everyone always laughed when they saw the adorable little boy who looked beautiful and inherited his father's face.
Her mom? Don't ask.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant with the child from the night job she was doing, she tried hard to abort the poor boy. Though that night it was clear the man she slept with said he would be responsible if she got pregnant.
But she was a professional but unfortunately her virginity was taken that night. He already knew the risks he would have to face if he did such a terrible job.
But for money he will do everything, because he needs money to meet all the needs of his life. And even now, after five years only once she sent money for her daughter's expenses without even asking the child.
Esther knows clearly who her mother was, once she saw the woman and ran to hug the woman who was holding a rich man who made himself a new toy, he said, but what Esther got that day was a loud slap that landed on her head and a terrible insult that was thrown from the lips of the mother who gave birth to her.
Even if he came home, he would only show off the money and treasures he had earned from the night work he had done over the years, he proudly told everyone that he had a lot of assets in the city and brought the women who needed money out of the city with other intentions that could not be imagined.
“ Aunty where's Mama? “ shouted the boy while carrying a basket with his small legs. It seemed like he had been trained to walk in that rice field without falling down at all.
“ Mama? It was in the pond chasing a loose fish, there was just that girl, was she in the pool with the uptick!” chirped curly haired woman who was sitting in a hut located on the edge of the rice field.
Esther ran to the hut and put the basket there. With a smile she ran in her boots available there.
“ where to go neng?”
“ Want to be with Mama, catch aunty heheheh to eat the uptake,” chirped Esther while smiling sumringah staring at them.
Esther stepped both feet while carrying plastic tadpole that she often caught if coming to the rice field.
The poor Anaak who was dumped by his mother and said to be an unlucky carrier was raised to child by a girl in the village. A kind girl who used to be a close friend of her mother.
But now their relationship is no longer that close, and Esther's biological mother sells her son for 2 million rupiah to a girl named Aurel, who is, the beautiful 25-year-old girl who lovingly took care of Esther and got full custody of the child with the official documents from her biological mother and the agreement recorded and signed with the seal and in hand in front of the court.
Aurel chooses to keep poor Esther at all costs she's at. For her Esther is her life now, no matter what happens in the future she will fight for Esther.
“ Maaaakkkkk..... Esther caught cebong yaaa..” shouted the boy again.
“ hahhaha.. yes sorry my dear mamake, Mama is very serious,” chirps Esther who actively pursues a small tadpole in a clear water flow next to the pool in the middle of the rice field.
“ you heart, later many snails nest in your feet,”
“ Ready mama, don't worry, snail it's friend Esther hehehehe...” reply the boy with a sweet smile.
Aurel stood up straight while wiping away the sweat that soaked her naturally beautiful face. The two eyes that shone were as warm as sunshine, the towering mountain above her beautiful heart-shaped lips, a perfect and clear fusion made many women envious.
He looked at Esther who was playing happily with Upik, the black mutt they kept.
“ The basis of this child, coming to the same play fields of dogs and cebong, which other children try to play in the rice fields,” murmured Aurel while looking at him with a gentle gaze.
Their daily life is clear, from morning to evening they will spend time in the fields, planting kale, driving away birds, catching fish and many other activities they do there.
The day seemed scorching and hot but never overcame their zeal to work in search of a joy in that vast and beautiful field.
Aurel only works as a farmer and sometimes works odd jobs in people's fields but he collects his money and plans a beautiful future for Esther. She was so young, she wasn't greedy, all she did was for Esther's happiness because if the child laughed she would feel satisfied and happy.
Sometimes he writes online novels whose income is enough to make him feel calm during his stay in the village. At night he will open a coffee shop and become a gathering place for the young people of the village . His lap is crowded and favored by people but the more fond people to the field, the more shirked and spread false information about the girl.
But all the insults will be he patis for his daughter Esther. Not a real daughter but she loves him very much.
Time passed, After picking up fresh fruits and green vegetables grown on the outskirts of the rice field, Aurel invited his daughter to come home. Aurel lives alone with Eshter next to Aunt Yuni who often takes Esther to town for food chatering work.
“ Honey go home yuk, already want the night, we have to cook and open the stall,” call Aurel while washing the fruits and put them in a clean basket.
“ go first, I will take him Aurel, you do not see he has turned into a mud man, I will take him, quickly go home, quite open fast today,” said aunt Yuni, the kind-hearted woman who had been looking after Esther and Aurel all this time.
“ Ahh thank you Bi Yuni, Aurel came home first,” he said with a smile and then carried the fresh fruits on his head.
“ Ma... Esther can I make fried rice no?” yelled the boy.
“ will Mama make if you quickly go home,” said Aurel who has walked far.
“ Woppp... ready Maaa..”seru the child with a smile.
