Bento: The Real Bright Star
There is a Star in the Soul of Betrand

A very blinding sun came through the hole - the hole of the hut, where Betrand was held. With a body that feels like it wants to crumble, Betrand tries to maximize his vision. With a sense of dizziness in his head, this poor little figure tried to wake up from his long sleep.

Oh no...!

Betrand just remembered, actually not a long sleep ! But a few hours ago, he was unconscious.

Instantly cold sweat drenched his body as he looked around. Those innocent eyes swept across the entire narrow, dusty room. Betrand shuddered in horror as he recalled the incident earlier this morning.

' Was I kidnapped ? ' betrand in a panic.

With a slightly staggering step, Betrand tried to reach the door to get out of the very stuffy room. But his steps came to a halt when his innocent eyes saw two burly men at the door. It felt like he was no longer strong enough to hold his weight, and finally Betrand fell down on the floor which was only based on the cardboard.

Instantly her tears glistened on her smooth cheeks. With a sigh, he whispered...

' Oh my God...What is this ? '

Betrand hugged her tiny body, this time wiping away her tears.

No...! She can't cry, she has to be strong ! Betrand remembered the advice of the Big Brother that he could definitely go through this without anyone by his side.

Ciuut...

The door of the hut opened and two burly men approached Betrand. They laughed - laughter - bahak, it felt like their laughter was as if - would make Betrand's ears want to break !

One of them held Betrand's chin, and said...

" From today onwards you are ngamen for us ! " he said cynically.

Betrand gasped in surprise, slowly he said...

" Ngamen Bang...? "

" yes. Why ? You don't want to ? " collapsed the other man.

Betrand fell silent, then quickly nodded.

" Good...! From now on you go ngamen, and do not go home if the money is not much ! " snar the man.

Betrand nodded with a downcast face.

" Do you know ? Don't nod - nag doang ! " stiff one of the men while kicking Betrand without the slightest pity.

After that, Betrand quickly followed the orders of the two men. With slow steps, he continued walking towards the crowd. Betrand was a little relieved to see a signpost - a signpost that perched firmly in the shops - the big store on the street he passed. Yep... On the signposts that Betrand saw, he could tell that he was still in the city of Sidoarjo.

Even so, he remains confused. This street is Jalan Raya Poros Sidoarjo - Surabaya, that means he is now far from home.

With confusion raging in the soul, Betrand continued to step on his feet. He tried to smile as widely as possible, then with a single breath he began to emit his golden voice.

In just an instant, Betrand managed to attract the attention of many people. You could say that day he was rather lucky, because he could bring home a lot of money.

When we arrived at the hut...

The two men immediately took the money from Betrand.

" Nah... That's dong ! Now you are here, watch not where - where ! You also can not escape from here.Haha.." said one man then accompanied by the laughter of the other man.

And without the slightest pity, they immediately left. Poor Betrand couldn't dwell a bit. He realized that he had not eaten since noon. But what does he want ? Betrand had no money at all.

With small steps, he walked towards the tap not far from his place.

' Thank God the tap is still burning ' Inner Betrand.

With nimble, he immediately took ablution to perform prayers. After that, he went inside the hut and looked for a clean place. Poor Betrand, but behind it all turned out to be an extraordinary figure. Despite such circumstances, Betrand still did not forget his Lord.

After the prayer, Betrand solemnly raised his hand to ask the Creator for help and strength. After that he came out of the hut and sat down on the bamboo chair that was in front of the hut. He looked around, no one he saw. Only shady trees and shrubs that became a panorama around him.

' Apparently this is a remote place, away from people. What do they mean they kidnapped me ? ' betrand thought with a million questions filling his head.

When night comes...

After Betrand prayed magrib, he was alone in the hut.Two men had gone somewhere ?Because Betrand could not stand it here any longer, with a slow step he settles - sinking away from the hut, making sure the surroundings were safe and there were no two men.

But his steps stopped when he saw the two men sleeping in a house - home, like a patrol post. Betrand set his breath, trying not to get groggy. Slowly he moved his feet away from the place.

That worked...!

Betrand managed to escape from the old hut, by running - a small run he headed for the Axis Highway. When he arrived there, inexplicably Betrand's head felt very dizzy and immediately his vision became dark.
