Bento: The Real Bright Star
The Struggle and Patience of Betrand

One of the burly men suddenly woke up. With a relaxed pace, he stepped his feet towards the old hut not far from where they rested.

Roughly, he kicked the door of the hut. Maybe he intended to surprise Betrand, but there was one thing he didn't know !

" sat...FUCKER !!! " said when he only saw some unused home furniture with a nest of profits that decorate it. He did not see the little boy in the hut !

With mounting anger, he shouted to his friend...

" YONO !!! NOW YOU WAKE UP !!! "

Shortly thereafter...

With eyes still sleepy, the man's friend named Jono immediately woke up to the hut. He rubbed his eyes and said...

" What the hell is it ? Don't know if anyone else is sleeping ! " jonah said with a stern face.

" This is bad ! The boy ran away ! " reply with a panicked face.

" Huh ? You mean that kid we kidnapped ? " Jono then widened his eyes.

" Well, what other child would you like ? " timpal Dony with an annoyed face as it passed.

" Where are you going ? " ask Jono in astonishment.

" Find the child ! Lo also go find him sono ! " reply Doni was increasingly upset at the behavior of his friend.

🌺🌺🌺

Time has shown at 10 p.m...

The night wind was blowing very hard. But somehow, the figure of this very poor little boy as if - will not feel the cold that now bites his body. Yep... Betrand is now drowning on the side of the road, it has been 2 hours he was unconscious there.

That's a poor boy !

Had he known, he would have been very sad to see all that.

In fact Betrand is now unconscious on the Axis Highway, but somehow no one helped him (

Oh...!

Was her small body invisible in their eyes ?

But where is it possible ! Had he realized all that, he would have considered himself to be of no use ! He will assume that no one loves him ! Perhaps, he will ask - ask what purpose he was created for, if his life was like that !

Thuhai...!

Why them ?

He was an ordinary child, but not many people knew behind it he was the 'true Star '.

Meanwhile...

Jono and Dodi continue to set foot on the Highway. They kept throwing their eyes here and there, making sure the figure they were looking for was in that place.

But for a few minutes they turned around - here, the figure of the little boy was never seen where his nose was ! With drowsiness that arrived - suddenly attacked them accompanied by a face full of anger, Jono and Doni immediately handed this to the employer.

" Where is the boy ? " rejected Jono with a very burning anger.

" Fuck ! It's midnight like this, where sleepy again but must keep looking for that little boy ! " so Doni is not less regretful.

" We're taking a break ! " jono said with a sense of overwhelm.

" ***We tried to call the boss first "reply Doni then contact the employer about the loss of Betrand.

🍃🍃🍃***

" What's up ? Night - night call ! " his the master.

" I'm sorry Boss ! We want to tell you something, that the child we kidnapped has run away somewhere ", explained Doni.

" What ? Anyway I don't want to know, tonight you guys have to meet that kid ! Know no ! " hardik the master.

" aa.. Good Boss ! " reply Doni with a sour face.

" Remember that ! " the boss then hung up the phone.

🍃🍃🍃

" What did Boss Don say ? " ask Jono with a curious face.

" Say we have to keep looking for the boy tonight as well "Jono replied.

" Oah ! " cry Jono with a wry face.

" Let's find it again ! Surely the boy is still around here, right he did not have a way back to his home. Especially since it's midnight ! " said Doni then they laughed out loud while walking down the road that has covered the cold of the night wind.

10 Minutes later...

Their steps came to a halt and instantly their deafening laughter came out of their creepy-looking mouths.

Laughter is like a predator who just got his food. Yep... It is true ! In front of them now appeared the figure of the little boy they were looking for - looking for it in a helpless lying state.

Without pity, Doni immediately slapped Betrand in the face. But this poor boy is not at all wrinkled.

" ****** we Don... Don't don't don't he die ! " cock Jono then approached Doni who was squatting near Betrand who was drooping.

" Anyway you ! He's passed out ! " deny Doni with an irritated face with the stupidity of his friend.

With his childish behavior, Jono tries to touch Betrand...

" Eh busett !!! Is this a body or a fire ? " chirps Jono when he feels Betrand's body is very hot.

" What a hell of a bitch ! Pake fever show all over again "hardik Doni.

" oah...So the story is we have to lift him to the hut ? " said Jono with a bent face.

" Yes is it ! " typical Dony.

Actually they are very wise to lift Betrand, which they think is a pointless thing ! But because of their money there is no other choice.

🌈🌈🌈

The next day...

Betrand awoke with a very dizzy head accompanied by an unbearable pain all over his body. He felt his throat very dry accompanied by a very burning heat on his body. He tried to get out of his sleep, but his gaze suddenly twisted. It felt like his head was so dizzy, because it was not strong he just leaned his body on one of the unused furniture in the hut.

In his silence, Betrand suddenly remembered that he had not performed Isha and dawn prayers, because he was unconscious for a long time.

With a little rush, he looked for a place to live. And finally he got one of the furniture that was not dirty.

With nimble, he immediately berayammum and immediately perform dawn prayers accompanied by mengqadha isya prayer that he had not previously performed.

Although Betrand was a little late in performing the dawn prayer and did not perform the isha prayer in time, he remained solemn in his prayer. He even took the time to pray for strength and help so that he could go home.

After he had finished his business with his Lord, Betrand tried to get up from his seat. Yep... Although he still felt a dizzy feeling in his head accompanied by a feeling of very burning body heat that made his throat feel very dry and sore.

Actually Betrand can choose to stay in that place, especially the situation is very unlikely to set foot anywhere.

Oh no...! He can't be like that ! Betrand is not trash ! He should not be treated as such with the best of heart by the two men acting like demons. Whatever the circumstances, he had to leave the cursed place immediately !

With a staggering step accompanied by a rumbling stomach, Betrand attempted to reach the door of the hut. Every now and then he held his dizzy head, he kept trying to strengthen his steps.

A few minutes later...

Finally Betrand had come out of the hut, he tried to maximize his eyesight to keep watch if the two men had appeared. Betrand breathed a sigh of relief when he realized there was no figure of the bully. With a slow step, he tried his hardest to get away from the old hut.

" WOYY... DAMN !!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING, TENGIL BOY ? " doni's Oath.

Betrand tried not to turn his head, he tried to run but his steps felt heavy. As if someone was holding his leg. But he did not want to give up, quickly he tried to move his feet away from the place.

" DAMN IT !!! LET'S GO AFTER JON ! " said Doni with a very angry face.

That's a poor boy ! Betrand was caught by two men

' the devil.

" Haha... Where are you going ? " snapped Jono while sticking Betrand's wrist.

" PLAQUES...! " without any pity Doni immediately slapped Betrand on the cheek.

Betrand just fell silent, it felt like his body wanted to float right then and there.

Without mercy, Jono and Doni kick Betrand and tell him to busk immediately.

Unable to do anything else, Betrand was forced to fulfill their orders.

🍁🍁🍁

With the sun very hot, Betrand continued to sing and thank God many people were captivated by his golden voice.

But there was a young woman who seemed to be pitying with the figure of this poor little boy. Then he approached Betrand and said...

" Deck... How does his face look pale ? " tell it gently.

Betrand was silent.

Deeply pityed, the woman held Betrand's forehead to make sure he was sick or not.

" Geez, the deck, it's so hot ! " the woman cried by stroking Betrand's head.

He quickly pulled Betrand's hand gently and took her to a place of shelter.

" Why Deck ? " ask the woman.

Betrand was silent, not knowing what to say. It also seemed that he could not utter a word.

The young woman is getting more and more pity.

' Is it possible that this child has no parents ? Don't have a house ? ' thought.

" Oh yeah... Have you eaten yet ? " ask the young woman again.

Betrand shook his head weakly.

Quickly, the woman immediately handed him a packet of food and a bottle of drinking water that she had previously bought.

" It's a sweet food. Eaten yes ! " said the woman softly.

Betrand glanced at the young woman, only silent. Unable to receive the food offered, the young woman immediately grabbed Betrand's hand and put the food into his tiny hands.

At first Betrand just stared at the food that was already in his hand, but a few seconds later he smiled faintly as he said...

" Thank you Brother "

The young lady simply nodded while smiling widely.

Thereafter...

Betrand devoured his food, deep down he said...

' Oh my God... This self has felt the life of treasure, everything I want must always get easily. Yeah, even though I never had the affection of my parents since I was a kid. Do I have to cover up my true self ? ' betrand's mind with a sense of tightness that was very deep in his heart.

After eating his food...

Betrand immediately thanked the woman and said goodbye to her.

" Thank you very much, Brother, " said Betrand very politely.

" Same - same darling" replied the young woman as she stroked Betrand's head.

Betrand just smiled knot, with the caress of the young woman he became reminded of the older brother who had been 6 days not on his side because he had to join the camp.

" Oh yes, sister.I say yes first ! Once again thank you for all the kindness Brother " said Betrand as he moved from his seat.

" Hey-heart on Deck ! " the young woman's advice was to look at Betrand with pity.

Betrand only glanced at him with a faint smile and passed, while the young woman continued to stare at the poor little figure who slowly moved away from her.

🍁🍁🍁

Along the way to the hut, Betrand was only pensive while thinking about the older brother who was far away from him. He remembered that his brother had come home tomorrow. He became sad to think about how the brother would react when he found himself no longer at home ?

Amidst his daydreaming preoccupation, this poor little figure arrived - suddenly startled by the two kidnapper men who violently immediately seized the money from the busking.

" Good ! Now you are again ! " squeezer Doni.

" Lho...? I'm sick Bang, let me rest first ! " rebut Betrand with a clear face.

" What ? It's good to ! We don't want to accept any reason ! Ngamen there ! " hardik Jono then pushed Betrand violently.

Betrand just fell silent while watching the two men 'demons' laugh out loud - bahak then with a step that felt unable to hold the tiny weight of his body, the little one, Betrand continued down the Axis Highway while continuing to hum; through the scorching sun as if wanting to topple his body right then and there.

🌈🌈🌈

That night in the hut...

After performing Isha's prayer, Betrand lay on the front couch of the hut.

His eyes looked out at the stars scattered in the sky. Again he smiled faintly looking at all that beauty.

But a few seconds later...

The smile was gone replacing the gloomy face of Betrand. Yep... There was one thing that was troubling his mind. For two days he never returned home, but until this second his parents did not exist. As Betrand knew, they had given him their affection. But somehow the Mother and the Father - it is not visible as well.

' Are they looking for me ? So how did they react when on that day Father and Mother had given their affection to me, but I did not go home ? '

' Is this place so remote that I'm so hard to find ? ' betrand kept wondering.

For a few minutes Betrand remained in that position, with the scattered panorama of stars adorning Betrand's beautiful eyes, but with that his mind remained drifting away thinking of the two parents he loved so much.

Shortly thereafter...

His eyes could no longer bear to stay awake and without Betrand realizing he had entered his dreamland, forgetting everything that troubled his mind; and ; forgetting everything that makes his physical pain so much that it makes him weaker and more helpless.

The next day...

Betrand returned to his routine, after performing the morning prayer he just sat on the couch looking at the surrounding bush.

Soon enough, again he was surprised by Jono and Doni and as usual he bluffed Betrand to immediately busk. Inevitably, Betrand quickly obeyed their orders.

With a stomach that feels very sick, Betrand continues to try to make his golden voice while walking along the Axis Highway which is now filled with frenzy - the bustle of vehicles passing by.

But a few seconds later...

Either the strength and desire from which he arrived - arriving across the road and at once his steps felt very weak. Simultaneously, there was one pick-up car that drove very fast; but Betrand did not realize that and as a result this unfortunate figure was hit, the severity of the car just went away.

Betrand heard the saying - I heard many people shouting to see the incident that happened to him. He also heard a pain in his head that was so overwhelming, that - until he felt his nose and head bleed fresh. In a few seconds, his eyes darkened.
