Bento: The Real Bright Star
Angel Guard Betrand

~ Aulia POV ~

After I wrote a letter in my diary, I immediately called Betrand to go home because it was already approaching magrib.

"Betrand.. go home, yuk!" take me with a big smile.

He came straight to me with a little run.

"Come...!" he was struggling spoiled while holding my hand.

I smiled then we walked home with Betrand's laughter accompanying us every step of the way.

I looked at my very happy sister's face. In my heart, this self is very grateful even though Thoriq is no longer on our side. The laughter will not go away, even if it is not from Thoriq, my friend.

But only from my sister, Betrand.

Right now, my brother is my strength. I must not be weak or sad because of him.

I just smiled broadly in response to the laughter from Betrand. I occasionally stroked her cheeks because of her very innocent behavior.

When they got home...

Again and again, the happiness of the younger brother disappeared immediately because of the treatment of their parents.

"Eh uh..wah...! Good for you, good to play!" gritting their Mother to Betrand.

Not wanting her sister to grieve over their parents' poor treatment, Aulia immediately defended her sister.

"That's it, Bun..Pity Betrand! Betrand's a little boy, Bun. He still needs entertainment, he needs love!" aulia.

"You have always defended him!" mother's Banging against Aulia.

Betrand simply fell silent as he stared at the dispute between his brother and mother.

"Dec... enter the room first, yes!" aulia's advice while stroking Betrand's hair.

Betrand simply nodded then ran to his room.

"I'm in the room first, Bun!" aulia said with a triumphant smile and instantly passed.

"Eh eh..basic it's a child, yes! Always defend that kid!" said their Mother with an annoyed face.

"Any cave does not want to let Betrand stay here.Gua must separate them!" he continued with rage.

~ AULIA POV ~

That night, I was pacing back and forth in my room. Anyway I have to make Mother and Father love Betrand.

But I have to, my mind is confused.

I went straight out of the room to see Mom and Dad.

Earlier, I went to Betrand's room. Apparently he's asleep.

I immediately kissed her forehead while saying, "Good night my little brother. Have a good sleep and a good dream, baby!"

After that, I looked for Mother and Father. It turns out they're still awake. I also approached him directly.

"Mother, Father...!" I said with a smile.

"Eh..hey, Honey!" reply Dad with a smile.

"Not sleeping yet, honey?" ask Mommy.

  🌹🌹🌹

After that, I was silent for quite a while.

I set my breath to talk about Betrand to Mother and Father. I looked at them with anxious faces, hoping they wouldn't get angry with me.

A few seconds later...

I also ventured to make my heart sound.

"Well, Bun...?" I said slowly.

"Yes, Honey! What's up?" ask Dad while stroking my hair.

"Actually I want to talk," I continued carefully.

"Yes.by the way,Darling!" timpal Mother.

I took a deep breath to relax myself.

Slowly, I said, "Well, Bun... Why do you think you don't like Betrand?"

At once the look on their faces changed, like a fierce lion ready to pounce on me.

"Aulia, why are you talking about that again?" firm Dad with a high tone.

"Well, I was astonished and pityed by Betrand, "quickly rebut. I was silent for a few seconds, looking for the right words so that Mother and Father did not get angry.After that I said back, "he is also the son of Father and Mother."

"Oh, you've always defended him!" snapped Mother against me.

"Well, Bun... does a parent deserve to be a role model but treat their child badly?" I continued while holding my cry.

" AULIAH... ALREADY HAVE! GO TO THE ROOM!!!" gritting Dad to me.

"But, Dad.." I argue.

"DADDY SAID GET IN THE ROOM...!" hardik Daddy.

I ran crying to my room.

Hixss....

Why Mother and Father hate Betrand. What tried his lack. Betrand is smart, talented, and has many advantages. I really do not understand all this, my mind with tears that continue to linger on the cheeks.

Meanwhile, in Betrand's room...

He woke up hearing the noise of a loud person.

"No noise?" he said slowly as he got out of his bed.

He then peeked out from behind the door of his room. There he saw his brother, father, and mother fighting.

It seems like the sister again could not bear the treatment of their mother and father against Betrand.

A few seconds later...

Betrand witnessed for himself when his father was angry and then the older brother cried and immediately ran away from them.

Oh my...

I don't know what my faults and sins are.So that both my parents are very dislike this self, inner Betrand with tears that began to linger on the cheeks.

Quickly, he closed the door to his room and threw his tiny body on the bed.

Betrand cried in his sleep

In the middle of that night's silence, he was alone

Whether until when should he dream, hope, and wait for the sincere love of his parents?
