Bento: The Real Bright Star
My Brother's suffering

After I said so, as usual Betrand would pray first. A very heart-wrenching view when he prayed. He will close his eyes and pray fervently.

After that, he would say, "Good meal, Brother!" he said with a thin smile.

If she had said that, I would have smiled and stroked her hair and said, "Yes, honey! Have a good meal too."

Shortly thereafter...

Dad and Mommy came up to me, and they suddenly kissed me and said, "Morning, honey!"

"For Mother, Father."I just greeted them with a faint smile.

In my heart, I am deeply saddened that Betrand did not receive such treatment from both of my parents. I saw Betrand turn his face the other way. I know very well how he feels right now.

Suddenly Mother broke the silence.

"You're the one who's making all this for that kid again?" ask Mother with a tone of dislike.

"Yes,Bun!" answer me briefly.

"Yeah, you still want to take care of him!" timpal Daddy.

Betrand stopped eating.

"Mother, Dad! Don't break Betrand's mood!" I said firmly.

Father and Mother just stared at Betrand very cynically.

"Betrand continued to eat it, yes!" I softly rubbed his back.

After we ate, Bi Surti came.

"Let me do it, Non! Not the same Den Betrand went to school," said Bi Surti kindly to me.

"Oh yes.If so thank you, Bi!" reply me with a smile.

After that Bi Surti cleaned things up and went back into the kitchen.

"Betrand's all set, right?" my many.

"Yes ready, brother."

"You want to walk again?" ask Dad to me.

"Yes, Dad.Lagian school deket, really!" my reply.

"Allah! This must be because you're in the same shape as that street kid!" said Mommy while looking at Betrand with a look of dislike.

"Mother, why is it always ugly Betrand? She is also the daughter of Mother!" I defended firmly.

"Emang yes he looks like a street child. Mother's Child ?! That's what you said, Mother would not consider him as a child!" said Mother with a high tone.

"Astaghfirullah Bun.." I absolutely could not bear if Betrand was demonized like that, let alone by his own parents !

Before my frustration peaked, Betrand immediately held onto my arm as he said, "Here you go, Brother! We go to school just afraid it will be late," he said innocently.

I just looked at my sister's face with an unbearable look.

"Mother, Father.Betrand left first, yes!" said Betrand while thrusting his hand to shake hands with Mother and Father.

Not that he got a reply, but instead his hand was pressed roughly. Before anything happened, I immediately invited my sister to go to school.

"Betrand, come!" I grabbed her shoulder and she came closer to me.

"We're leaving first Bun, Dad!" I said as it passed.

On the way to school...

Betrand was silent, apparently very saddened by the treatment and words of Father and Mother to him.

I don't want to stay silent, my sister's smile should I give it back.

"Sweet sister! Just shut up, anyway?" candaku while embracing it.

"Father, Brother!" answer's short.

I just smiled as I stroked her cheek.

"Sorry, Father and Mother, yes, for all their unpleasant treatment and words" I said with heart.

"Yes, Sis.Gapapa, really." He just smiled thinly while holding my hand.
