Returning to Joko's family home, Kleine is greeted warmly.
There are delicious dishes on the table.
He advanced onto that round table with a sparkling face, his mouth could not hold back his saliva.
"Wahh... It looks so delicious, auntie's so good!" The compliment.
I don't know what influenced Eda to do that. But, Joko also saw there was chicken meat at lunch this time.
"Hehe, this is actually because our neighbor is slaughtering chickens. And he split it half for us!" Said Eda as she looked at the questionable gaze of her husband.
Joko nodded in understanding. People in the village love to gossip. They are always kind and love to share. They are also very friendly to new people.
"Then bathe first, after that we will eat. You must be hungry after a day of not eating!" Eda orders and throws a green towel towards Kleine.
Kleine was not very aware of his hunger. He rarely eats, and now he only has about a day to eat. It doesn't feel so hungry. As the saying goes, "It could be because it's ordinary!"
Yes, because it is used to not eating, so it can withstand.
But, look at such delicious food. The word can hold it missing. Kleine had actually been eager to sit down and eat. Moreover, he was very curious about the taste of that delicious-looking chicken meat.
Oh, maybe it's because it smells too good.
With his face fixed on the dining table. Kleine slowly went to take a shower.
After not seeing Kleine's shadow. Eda asked her husband about the man Kleine saved last night.
"Is he okay?" Ask a little curious.
He was actually a bit unhappy with the injured man. Especially after he saw Kleine's clothes that had a big tear. Although the price of the shirt was not much, but it was very beautiful if Kleine wore it.
"He seems to be leaving injured. Maybe he was afraid that the killer was still looking for him," Joko replied casually and sat down slowly on the chair.
He poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh!" Reply Eda was not happy.
In a neighboring village, the more days Toni could not see Kleine. He'll vent his anger on Jaena.
It would still be quiet if Kleine had only disappeared for one or two days. But, they still could not find the girl after searching for her for more than a week.
"Father why the hell is always asking about kak Kleine continues. Not that you don't care about him either, why are you angry with me just because of him?" The little girl could no longer bear to see the quarrel of her mother and father.
Revenge and hate grew stronger and stronger for the innocent and innocent Kleine.
His brain was also beginning to feel cunning. If Kleine came back, he could already imagine how to take revenge.
Toni could not bear to see her daughter's precious tears.
He knelt down in front of the girl and helped her wipe away her tears.
"Darling, this is not something you should know.You better go to the room. Studying diligently, so that you can fly to the moon!" Persuade Toni with attention.
"Wouldn't... Azel won't leave until you answer Azel!" He said by rebelling.
Seeing his daughter getting stubborn. Toni turned her head towards Jaena, hoping she could get some help from the woman.
Jaena who had been staring at the disagreement of father and son just threw away her face with annoyance. First because she is now fed up with her husband's behavior. And he wanted to reply a little, and for the second...
Maybe because he also wanted to know the reason Toni still likes to take care of the girl, in order to throw or kill her subtly?
He saw his wife who seemed very unconcerned.
Toni could only sigh in resignation. But, he still did not want to reveal it.
"Huh... Later, baby, if it's time you will tell. What matters is that you are now studying hard. You believe the same father, all that you do is for your good!" Toni tried to be very convincing.
Jaena was disappointed to hear that. For this reason that was always the end of the question raging within him.
Azel still did not accept. But what can he do?
He could only wait for his father's plan to succeed first. Only then will he understand.
But, until when?
Until this family is ruined because of the debate about the great girl?
Now the most important thing was not his father's answer.
But revenge from his bad taste.
###
Happiness is too complicated. Just like a sugar.
If we introduce our sweet taste to others. Then, we will be greatly utilized. But, if we keep covering up the sweetness. Maybe others won't glance at us more than twice.
And so about happiness. When we show it too much. Maybe we'll become an infinite talking field. Between envy and also wanting to snatch it.
Kleine likes to live in other people's homes. At least this house gave him warmth, when compared to that place.
He was like a stranger who was hired as a maid in exchange for a place to stay.
"It's so delicious!" Said Kleine with a very innocent childish smile.
"Oh, then eat a lot!" Said Eda and put one more piece of chicken on Kleine's plastic plate.
Kleine nodded cheerfully.
In the house, Kleine is usually sued for adulthood at the age of not even a teenager. And here, he's a nobody.
At first, he was afraid of interacting. But, after quite a while and getting to know each other. He began to open up to the two men. He would also act spoiled for a few times.
It's true the saying goes, don't know then don't love.
They joke with great fun. No words are missed without laughter. Kleine was even very good at acting funny to entertain the two.
Time passed, during this long enough time. Every day Kleine would travel to that hill. He'll bring some food.
He left with hope, and went home in disappointment. The man he had met was no more. It is unclear whether the man is still alive or not.
Like a spinning wheel. That's how Kleine's peace ended. Returning from the hill as usual, Kleine saw Joko arguing with someone.
Someone looks familiar. There were also many villagers who witnessed the free spectacle.
Kleine's body trembled as he watched his stepmother stiffen a small stick.
Toni and Joko argue about Kleine.
Toni got word yesterday about Kleine's whereabouts here.
At first he wanted to go straight to this place. But it was delayed because of a few things.
So, by now he had time. He immediately comes and accuses Joko and his wife of stealing his daughter. It attracted the attention of many citizens.
Especially the arrival of Toni and Jaena was very excited. With a twig the size of three fingers on Jaena's hand. And also Toni who brought a machete.
"Heh, the one who can't have children, steals someone's daughter so casually!" Accuse Toni with the machete in her right hand. Jaena nodded with great enthusiasm. Whatever her husband said, she just needed to nod and say yes.
"Who stole who! Your daughter almost died on the street. You should be grateful that my wife and I were going to save her. Accusations that are not true, are so depraved!" Reply Joko in disbelief. He always hated his wife's misunderstood good intentions.
He is also upset that Toni is casually opening up the disgrace of him and his wife.
Eda doesn't accept saying it like that. He laughed cynically and said: "Why? You're just looking for her after feeling like there's no more helpers?"
Now it's Jaena's turn to be upset. Who also lacked a maid, she picked up the girl because of her husband's wishes. Although it was true that he made Kleine a slave. But, it was because he felt a great loss if there was only and was not beneficial.
"Basic barren! Who's short on helpers!" He shouted in annoyance.
He advanced with a stick on top to beat Eda ferociously.
Joko wants to prevent Jaena's actions. But, Toni confronted him by showing off the sharp machete in front of his face.
People watched with pleasure. No one intended to stop the two couples in dispute.
There was also a crowd that was busy gossiping.
They did not expect that the child they had been greeting kindly was the famous unlucky carrier girl in the next village.
"Stop!"
