The sound of trees being blown by the wind as well as the slow sound of the river flowing quietly. There was a small sound from the shallow banks of the river.
An adult man with a bow on his back walked closer to the stream just to quench his thirst. The adult man seemed to be in disbelief to find a basket made of teak wood was swaying driven by the river current. With wonder and curiosity for the basket, the adult man walked up to him. Slowly he opened the basket. He was so jolted when he saw the figure of a cold little baby crying quietly as if he had lost his strength. The baby kept trying to open his closed eyes. The man's heart melted to see the baby's little smile.
“Who would make you like this?” muttered the man with a face full of sorrow and sympathy.
Warmly, the adult man brought the little baby along with him.
“Please wait a minute, we'll be right up.” Said the man to the baby.
A small settlement surrounded by white hills covered with snow. The man walked quickly towards one small house there.
“Dad! What can the hunt be?” ask a girl who is about five years old while running slowly towards her father.
“Dad, Sol gave birth to four children earlier.” exclaimed a boy aged about six years when he found his father home.
However, the adult man did not respond to his two children. He immediately walked into his small house.
“Ciero! Make a glass of warm milk and bring it here immediately.” Tell the man to his daughter.
“Alright,” replied the child obediently and immediately ran towards the kitchen.
On top of a pile of sheep feathers that had been cleaned and embroidered into a blanket, the little baby began to feel the warmth again.
“This is Dad's milk ..” Ciero held out a glass of milk to his father. “Dad, whose baby is this?” ciero asked with a surprised face.
The man just silently gave the little baby warm milk lovingly. A boy walked up to his father in a hasty step. He pulled his father's arm and walked closer to the door.
“Dad, you kidnapped a baby person?!” asked the boy with a probing face.
“For what Daddy kidnapped a baby! with you guys alone I'm overwhelmed... ” Reply the father dismissed the accusations of his son.
“Then whose baby?!”
“Daddy also do not know, Dad found it on the river bank, I think he has been dumped by his parents.” Obviously the grown man to his son.
“He dumped?!” the boy did not believe.
The man again walked over to the little baby who looked very calm and peaceful.
“Dad, can he stay with us?” ciero asked his father with sparkling eyes.
“Caezar, don't say that, I will try to support the three of you. Let at least this baby feel the warmth. You don't pity him?” ask the father to his son.
“But Dad, how do we live it?” said Caezar, who was still filled with uncertainty in his heart to accept the presence of the little baby in their small family.
“Give everything to Daddy, you guys be good brothers.” Said the father with conviction.
“Alright! Ciero will be a good brother to little sister!” ciero said with great enthusiasm.
The little baby kept smiling, revealing his gums. Caezar could only sigh, perhaps he should be able to become the eldest brother of his two younger sisters.
The little family has now become a family for the blind baby. Ciero and Caezar took care of the baby affectionately. It was as if a strong bond had tied their hearts to the tiny little baby. Day after day the baby grew up healthy, did not look tired and uncomfortable from the figure of a man named Dalmar and his two children in caring for a small baby named Acie.
Five years have passed, Acie grew up with the affection of her family. Acie was born without vision like any other human. Round eyes decorated with a golden-yellow retina, emitting a beautiful light as if it could illuminate the entire world with just the glare of his eyes.
“Acie! Come join Brother sharing milk with citizens!” exclaims Ciero who has grown into a tough and hardworking girl.
“Good!” sahut Acie while running towards his brother.
“Do not run later fall!” exclaimed Ciero was worried for his little sister.
Even without vision, Acie can do the same thing as everyone else in general. He can run, jump, even catch fish in the river. The lack of five senses of vision, making all the other senses have a greater level of sensitivity than humans in general. Acie simply cannot see the physicality of a person or everything in the real world. However, his inner vision was stronger than anyone. Dalmar nurtured his little daughter firmly and supplied the martial arts in Acie. Since the age of four, Acie has begun to understand things related to martial arts, although he could only guess the movements of his father and elder brother as they rehearsed with rudimentary inner eyes.
His father also provided Acie with the art of archery, despite many difficulties and obstacles in the process of achieving Acie, he never gave up before succeeding. Acie is taught to always try and never give up if you want to live long in this cruel world. Until the age of five years, Acie was able to shoot deer that are tens of meters from his visibility. Although relying only on the inner eye and the senses of the listener, Acie was able to do that without missing.
The more days and years, Acie more proficient in practicing martial arts that have been mastered by his father.
“Dad, today I will hunt animals in the forest, Dad just rest.” Said Acie to the father who looked unwell.
“Beware Son, If you get hurt, Dad will punish you. Understood!” the father said to his beloved daughter.
“Ready! Acie departs Father.” Disconnect Acie and immediately step out of his small house.
“Aci! Brother come with you.” Caezar said the older brother who loved Acie more than himself.
Acie, the figure of a little baby who was dumped by her biological parents without pity and pity. She grew up to be a 15-year-old girl. He grew up in a small settlement called Alba, on a white hillside. With all the advantages hidden in him without anyone realizing it. Someday, will Acie be able to accept the reality of who she really is.
