Hall 1
The morning weather was pretty clear. Sunlight burst in on the sidelines of the tree branches, making the atmosphere of this morning more comfortable.
This Sunday is a great day for Lyla, a 9-year-old girl with full name Kalyla Nindita Admaja, because he would go visit the orphanage with his father and his mother and stay for a week there.
from that moment he was busy preparing the items that would be donated to the home.
"Lyla when everything's ready, we're leaving now.!" the yelling of the bunch from the front, made the little girl quickly rush over.
''Yeah, bund..!"
the girl's long brown hair twitched in the wind, as she ran towards the car where her father and mother were waiting.
''Are you ready ?" ask Admaja while smiling at his little daughter, shortly after Lyla got into the car.
''Every father,!" his mouthful while smiling, making his dimple on the left visible, Madam Admaja laughs anxiously at his son.
The black sedan car immediately split the streets of Jakarta which was still quiet in the morning, although the atmosphere was a bit foggy, but did not reduce Lyla's enthusiasm, at least,
The little girl enjoyed the ride with a little hum. After taking a 3-hour drive the car entered the plantation area, the skyscrapers changed with tea leaves that look neatly arranged.
Fresh air typical of the plantation immediately smelled in the nose of the snarl Lyla when her father lowered the car glass.
it made the little girl impatient to arrive.
The orphanage ''Hope ''' is one of the orphanages located on the plantation in bandung, Indonesia,
The main building in the form of a large hall consisting of several administrative rooms, cooperative spaces, and others.While the dormitory for children the home is located in the back.
The Lyla family sedan car finally got there and was warmly welcomed by the mother of the orphanage, Bu Ningsih. The graffiti on his face indicates he is no longer young, he is almost 55 years old. Despite having entered the age of twilight, his enthusiasm to care for the children of the home was never extinguished.
"Well, I'm glad that you're visiting here again, '' said warmly while hugging Madame Admaja,
''Si Lyla, long ago had whined to come here, he said he misses his friends here, ''' said Madam Admaja. The sweet face smiled hearing what was being discussed.
''Grandma, Lyla misses grandma,''
Ms. Ningsih gently rubbed Lyla's hair.
"Grandmother also miss Lyla ."
After a brief meeting, the Admaja family immediately headed to the building that is usually used to stay overnight. A small building is located in the corner of the orphanage, while Lyla, the little girl, ran straight to the park in the Panti. He was familiar with some of the children. His helpful nature, makes friends in the parlour like him . He was playing hide and seek with others, when he accidentally saw the boy.
The little figure was sitting alone in a large chunk of rock near a small river that flowed on the border of the orphanage with a small forest. In his hand holding a harmonica instrument, he cradled a small rectangular object, shortly before he blew it and played a song .
Lyla just stood still , watching her from behind the tree .the sound of the harmonica playing with her beautiful , making Lyla unconsciously slowly approach her.
''Kriekk.'' The sound of dry twigs accidentally stepped on lyla teased the boy,
Instantly his harmonica game stops ,
''Who are you ?" his voice sounded hostile.
Lyla was a little scared, I ..I ..!" he hesitates to answer.
Lyla immediately ran to the back of the boulder and hid there, making the boy raise his eyebrows, he was not happy ,
''I beg you not to tell them I am here, '' Pinta Lyla, but the boy was silent .
Not long after that the other orphanage kids get there to look for Lyla.
"Hey...! you see a girl here no ?" a fat boy questioned him.
The boy sitting in the rock did not answer,
"Hey..!! don't you have a mouth, huh ?" tanyanya Igi annoyed at feeling ignored .
"This child must be taught, "" the hands of the thick-bodied boy clenched to smite,
"Nob not ..!!" prevent a child who is rather small,
"He's only been here a week and he's kind of weird" he said,"
"You know, if we hit him, we could have a problem with the mother of the house" continued the little boy.
Asep turned his head, "yes yes ," his words assented.
Then from behind appeared a girl ,
"God.., did you see that ? little girl with long hair, we were playing hide and seek but lunch time had come, and we all had to gather." asked the girl ,
The god was silent for a moment he then looked towards Lyla hiding, but he did not see Lyla, just in the other direction, her face hardened, like seeing danger.
"He's here" said Dewa as he pointed towards Lyla ,
Instantly the little girl immediately stood up, and stepped forward, she was annoyed at the boy who was still sitting on the rock.
"Why did you tell them .? I've asked you to lie" Lyla protested.
But the boy called God did not answer.
"There was a snake ..!" The screams of a girl who suddenly saw a small snake coming out from where Lyla was hiding.
Lyla was startled, but swiftly the 12-year-old boy God, directed a fairly sturdy dry branch that was nearby and struck right on the snake's head ,until the snake died instantly.
All the children of the orphanage were speechless watching it, not least Lyla, because indirectly, God had saved her life.
He looked on the boy named god, as his little hand unhappily scooped and threw away the carcass of the serpent, far across the river.
After she finished, she walked across Lyla and her friends, without saying a word.
When the god walked right in front of Lyla, the girl's hand held the God's arm, making her stop and look towards Lyla.
"Thank you," Lyla said sincerely, God did not reply, but his eyes looked at Lyla, the little eyes staring at Lyla expressionlessly.
Lyla was speechless as God looked at her, she was a bit shocked as God clenched her hand and let go roughly, and soon passed by.
Lyla looked at him from behind, her lips wailing and said, "so arrogant...!!"
