Bento: The Real Bright Star
Is this a house or a hell?

When they got home, Aulia slowly crept towards the door, afraid that she and her sister would be angry again by their parents.

"Sstt, don't say yes, Dek. Afraid of Mother's will!" aulia said with a half whisper.

Betrand just nodded slowly and then followed the movements of his brother.

"So, can't the door be locked?" betrand said slowly.

"Please, brother, bring spare keys, really!" whispered Aulia then pulled out a set of keys complete with a hanger that read her name.

Suddenly, Betrand was made amazed by the behavior of his brother who was always ready with the items needed at any time.

Slowly, Aulia opened the door of her house and told her sister to enter the house immediately.

"Come, Deck! Cepet in!" said Aulia then grabbed her sister's hand.

"Hufft, safe! There is no Mother with Father," said Aulia in a slow tone.

Betrand was silent, but his hand kept holding his brother's arm. With that innocent look of his eyes, he continued to spread his gaze throughout the house, just in case who knew mother and father suddenly appeared. Then innocently the brothers continued to walk quietly up the stairs leading to their room and without the slightest sound.

But just as their feet stepped on the fifth step, their steps came to a halt because of the sudden...

"ELENA...!" there was a voice from behind them that immediately made the hearts of these brothers want to jump out.

As cold sweat drenched the bodies of these two sisters, their sweet faces looked frantic but they quickly turned around.

In front of Aulia and Betrand, there was now their mother and father with a very sharp gaze.

Being in that extremely tense atmosphere, Aulia could only duck while swallowing her saliva. In his heart he kept praying that his mother and father would not be angry with them. Meanwhile, the sister looks very agitated and her body is stuck with the body of the brother and his hands continue to hold Aulia's arm.

A few seconds later, Aulia and Betrand heard their mother's footsteps approaching her. Suddenly, Aulia's body trembled just like that and her anxiety seemed to be growing.

"Wow, you guys are great too, yeah!"hiss Silvy with a dismissive tone.

Aulia and Betrand bowed silently, unable to look at the mother, who was like a fierce lion ready to pounce on her.

"Other than you, little boy!" silvy then grabbed the tiny hands of the poor little figure.

"Aww!" Suddenly, Betrand closed his eyes while slicing in pain from the care of his mother while in Betrand's arm there was still a scar that had not dried due to the accident that had happened to him.

Hearing her sister's groaning, Aulia immediately raised her head and she saw Betrand's hand held so tightly by her mother. But Aulia could not do anything, for some reason she felt overwhelmed by a tremendous fear. It was so bad he reprimanded the mother, but her tongue felt so faint.

Meanwhile, Silvy is made to smile cynically when he sees the scars from the accident that are still not dry on Betrand's arms and elbows.

"Haha, lucky for you!" silvy then held the chin of the poor little figure and immediately their faces exchanged looks.

For a few seconds, Silvy was silent but his eyes stared intently at the frightened face of Betrand.

Not for a few seconds, Silvy again bullied his two children without the slightest mercy.

"Ga guess too, yeah! Damn bearers like you can return to this house. You should never have been found by this brother of yours who was equally as unlucky as—"

"DELAY!!! ENOUGH, ENOUGH!!!" Aulia suddenly cut off her mother's words as she could no longer bear to hear the unpleasant bluff.

PLAKKIS...

The sound of the slap landed just like that on Aulia's smooth cheek. Seeing this, Betrand fell silent but quickly held his brother's hand, which felt very cold; perhaps because he was so afraid of him.

Getting the treatment, Aulia just fell silent while holding her cheek that felt very painful. Sometimes he glanced at his mother who was in front of him and the father who was looking at him with a flat face.

Wh why? Why is everything like this? What is this house of hell? Parents who are supposed to protect and should be role models but instead treat their children badly. O Lord, protect me and my sister, Aulia's mind softly with teary eyes.

"WHY? HURTS?!" silvy's Snatch against Aulia.

Aulia simply fell silent and lowered her head. He could not hear the anger of his mother who felt like making his soul float away.

"That's why you have to obey Father and Mother! Don't defend this child!" silvy continued with a red face while lifting Aulia's chin.

Aulia was only speechless, now her tears were starting to flow down her cheeks. Even though he could not see the face of his mother, but he was willing to dare himself just so that the mother would not be angry anymore.

With a very sad look at the treatment of the mother and immediately the memories that had passed back appeared in Aulia's mind. About all the affection and attention of her mother during this time. And for the first time in his life, he had just seen the ferocious face of his mother and for the first time also himself was hit by a slap from the hand of the mother who used to always caress him.

Why did everything feel different this time? The care, protection and love of her mother and father seemed to just disappear. Even with them they did something unpleasant for him.

Is that how much mother and father hate Betrand? To the extent that they were angry with me, Aulia's mind with tears that did not stop.

"How's?!Have you been?!" silvy snapped and removed his hand from Aulia's chin.

Aulia just fell silent.

On the other hand, Betrand was also silent but he could not digest any more the quarrel between mother and sister just the wayangnya. Betrand again felt something strange on him, his head again throbbing again and his gaze went back in circles. But he kept trying to keep himself from falling.

Meanwhile, Silvy who had been bullying her favorite child seemed concerned about Aulia who was speechless.

Yes, you could say there is still love for her daughter. Want to be angry whatever he is with Aulia, but he still loves the golden boy. Unlike the younger brother he never liked at all.

A few seconds later, Silvy circulated his gaze toward the small figure he hated so much. And without any pity, Silvy casually returned to Betrand, "This is all because you know!"

Betrand was silent at the snapping of his mother, his gaze was empty, his knees were trembling, and the severity of the pain in his head was growing; and therefore it was also that made his vision blur even more.

Seeing Betrand who was silent and looking at him with a flat face, immediately made Silvy's anger even more explosive. Unmitigated, he again uttered a cruel word to the little figure, "BASIS BIBAK BEARER—"

But, Silvy had not yet finished bluffing Betrand, the little figure holding his mother's arm. Actually he accidentally, it's just that he is no longer strong enough to hold his body weight. The body of the small figure looks very limp, his gaze looks empty, like facing death. And at once his tiny body fell in the arms of his beloved mother.

"Eh, what the fuck? HEYI...WAKE YOU!" silvy snaps and then pushes Betrand who is now limp in his arms.

Realizing that, Aulia who had been silent then raised her head and just then her mother pushed her sister who seemed unconscious. Before anything happened to her sister, Aulia held Betrand's body.

"Betrand why, Bun?" aulia said in a panicked tone while holding her sister who was in a state of concern.

"More by yourself!" timpal Silvy with a cynical tone then passed.

"Bun, actually Betrand suffered a concussion because of the accident that has hit him," said Aulia with eyes that returned glazed.

Hearing her daughter's words, Silvy then turned her body around with a grin while saying, "Oh—good, dong!He deserves all of that. WHY NOT JUST DIE?!"

"MOTHER...!!! How, Mother really the same child himself?" timpal Aulia with sobbing.

"WHAT? THE KID?! MOTHER NO SPOUSE!!!" gertak Silvy then passed followed by her husband, Chandra.

"MOTHER, FATHER...!!! Help raise Betrand first!" aulia continued with half a shout.

But expectations apparently do not match the reality, the mother and father of a pair of brothers did not even pay attention to the screams of his daughter.

Seeing all that, Aulia could only stare at the little sister who was lying limp in her arms.

"Oh my God—so much love for Betrand, where I can't lift his body anymore. The time I have to drag my own sister, " said Aulia very softly.

Even so, he did not run out of sense and instead steeled himself to keep the sister to a comfortable place. As much as possible, Aulia tried to bring her sister to the hairy carpet in the family room.

Patiently, Aulia kept trying to move her unconscious sister on the stairs and finally for about 5 minutes they were on the carpet in the room.

"Oh my God, it's finally here!" said Aulia with a heavy breath while taking a sofa pillow and she put it under the head and feet of her sister.

Actually, her little sister's body is not as heavy. But just know ajalah, pity is also not a child like Aulia already have to take care of such things—when both their parents are still there.

Meanwhile, Aulia painstakingly continues to deal with her sister; trying to get Betrand to wake up.

Hufftt, luckily I'm a PMR. So do not worry anymore fitting see the person who is kayak gini, inner Aulia while improving the position of Betrand as best as possible.

After doing first aid to her sister, Aulia rested her body on the sofa not far from where Betrand fell asleep. Every now and then Aulia yawns her eyes have felt very heavy, but she tries to keep herself awake for the sake of her sister.

About 10 minutes...

Tick.tik.

The sound of rain was clearly heard from the outside and at once the wind was heard blowing very hard, so that the curtains that were right behind Aulia danced as well. And because that's what makes him fix his jacket many times.

The atmosphere in the room was completely silent, only the drizzle of rain from outside was accompanied by the sound of crickets that were mutually disdainful which made the night feel very gripping.

A few seconds later—because he could not stand the night wind that bit his body, with his hands folded chest then Aulia moved to the carpet and sat near his sister who was still unconscious.

"Betrand—conscious, Honey!" said Aulia quietly while wagging her sister's cheeks.

But whatever the power, the only wayangnya sister is still not budging. With concern, Aulia continued to stare all over Betrand's body which looked very limp. Then slowly, he grabbed his sister's hand and at once his heart felt very tight to see the scar that had not dried on Betrand's arm. Suddenly, he again remembered the unresolved problem.

It's so sorry Betrand. Who were the people who kidnapped her and why did they do it? Aulia kept wondering in her heart about the tragedy she thought was so strange. Until finally he remembered the words of his best friend—Thoriq this afternoon.

'Dad I'm trying to investigate the Betrand accident, you know!'

And so is Thoriq. Hopefully the case of the Betrand accident quickly resolved, Aulia's mind while stroking with her brother who never realized it.

For a second, Aulia's eyes grew heavier. He no longer has the power to stay awake. But on the other hand, he also did not have the heart with his sister who was still drooping and unconscious. Slowly, he directed his gaze to the wall clock that was adorned sweetly in the room. Suddenly, Aulia was aghast when she realized it was already very night.

Ya—jam wall has shown at 22.45 PM— approximately 30 minutes have passed, but a small figure, Betrand still not awake. The rain outside is also getting heavier and the night wind is blowing very hard which makes the atmosphere tonight is getting colder— to get into the heart.At times like this people definitely choose to sleep on the soft mattress, pull the blanket until it covers their entire body, until finally sleeping and entering the dream realm.

But another in the magnificent house, it is very concerning to see such a scene. In the middle of the silence of the night, it turns out there is still a brother who is patient and willing to stay awake just to wait for the brother to wake up from his long sleep. Aulia seemed to blink her eyes repeatedly because of her sleepiness. Repeatedly he glanced towards the wall clock, seen clockwork continues to spin—but there was no sign that his only sister was conscious.

Because she could not stand the drowsiness anymore, suddenly Aulia also lay her body near the sister. Even so, he kept trying not to fall asleep. Slowly, Aulia stroked her sister's cheeks while whispering softly, "Betrand—why, Grandpa? Whiskey, darling! Betrand doesn't feel sorry for Brother? From this Brother waited for Betrand, even though it was very sleepy, nih!"

There's no reply. There is only silence. Aulia just looked at her sister with a sad look, instantly the worry came just like—because Betrand never woke up too. But Aulia can only pray and hope that her sister is okay.

With the hand she placed under her head, Aulia continued to stare at her sister with a huge do'a and hope in her heart.

A few seconds later, his throat felt very dry— thrashing to immediately watered water. Then, Aulia woke up and quickly headed to the kitchen to get some drinking water.

But—just drank one gulp to quench that thirst, all of a sudden...

"K-Sister, K-Sister." There was a voice of someone calling out to him.

"Lho, how could Betrand sound yes, " murmured Aulia while sharpening her sense of hearing because of the rain outside is very heavy as if to make her deaf.

But— not until a few seconds, the voice was heard again, even more soft.

"K-Sister... M-sister... T-Rigger...."

"It's actually Betrand's voice!" exclaiming Aulia then ran to the family room.

There he found the younger brother who was massaging his head while calling the older brother very softly.

"Betrand—has awakened, dear?" aulia said as she gently stroked her sister's head.

"Sister... K-Silver.." call Betrand very softly while gnashing his eyes—maybe this poor little figure still feels dizzy in his head.

"This is Brother, darling! Someone's sick, huh?" said Aulia softly as she stared fixedly at the sister.

Betrand was silent, with blank eyes he kept looking at the older brother who was stroking his head.

"Betrand—why, Honey? Tell Brother Dek, if anyone is sick!" aulia continued while stroking her sister's cheek.

Betrand shook his head slowly, then tried to get up from his sleep—but not until a few seconds, suddenly...

Hoeeeek...

As soon as Betrand turned his face away, he seemed to want to vomit. Quickly, Aulia immediately held her sister's body with a face that looked very worried. He saw the face of the brother who was very weak—cold sweat wet his tiny body.

"Why, Deck? Wanted to vomit, huh? But not here, Dek—we go to the toilet, yuk!" said Aulia who only responded to nods by Betrand.

Nimble, Aulia immediately led her sister to the toilet not far from the room. On the other hand, the small figure of—Betrand is seen holding his brother's arm very tightly while covering his mouth with his tiny hands, maybe he is trying to hold him back so that he does not just let out his entrails.

It was not until 5 minutes, that they finally arrived at the toilet. Without warning, Betrand suddenly released his handle and rushed into the toilet— approached the sink.

Hoeeeek...

With a concerned look, Aulia massaged the neck of her sister who looked very weak.

"Get it all out, Dek!" aulia said softly.

Hoeeeek...

For the umpteenth time, Betrand continued to try to extract his entrails which made him even more limp. But, already 5 minutes passed the small figure did it—only saliva came out of his mouth, nothing!

Seeing this—with a soft caress on the head of the sister, Aulia immediately said, "It seems Betrand is just nauseous huh, Dek? His stomach mules, doesn't it?"

Because Betrand was very tired of his efforts trying to get something stuck in his stomach it—but no one went outside as well, then he turned to look at the older brother who had been beside him.

"Betrand mules huh, Dek?" aulia asked as she stared fixedly at the face of her very pale sister.

"Yes, Brother. Nausea," Betrand replied with a very fond look.

"Yasudah—we're in the room, yuk! Brother medicine to heal," said Aulia with a smile knot while stroking Betrand's cheek.

Without saying anything else, Betrand then followed the steps of the brother to his room.

In room...

"Betrand lie down first huh, Dek! Brother to the room first to take medicine," said Aulia while enveloping her little sister's body and then with wide steps she immediately rushed towards her room.

In less than 5 minutes, Aulia returned with an object in her hand. Ya—a bottle of wind oil to treat her sister.

"Betrand—kakak abetin ya,Dek!" said Aulia then rubbed the wind oil in the temple, forehead, nape, neck and in the stomach of her sister.

A few seconds later, with a very shady gaze and accompanied by great affection—Aulia immediately asked her only sister, "Where, Dek?Is it still not good?"

"It's been a little light, Brother.Thank you, Brother!" reply Betrand with a faint smile.

"Yes, Honey! Now go to sleep, this is so bad! Brother will get Betrand to sleep, really!" said Aulia while covering her sister's body with a blanket.

Betrand just nodded, then slowly he closed his eyes—trying to enter the dreamland, pulled away for a moment from the chaos of life, forgetting everything that became a burden of heart and mind, forget everything that makes the pain in the soul and body more felt.

Suddenly, Aulia smiled faintly at her sleeping sister. Shortly afterwards, he also laid his body beside the sister and how shocked Aulia when she saw the clock that kept clinking in the room—which turned out to have shown at 23:30.

My God, just this time Betrand and I slept last night, Aulia's mind then grabbed the phone she put on the nightstand. With her eyes half closed, Aulia set an alarm on her beloved object. But suddenly his eyes rounded when he saw a message coming in from his best friend—Thoriq. Even so, he did not open the message from his best friend, there he closed his cellphone and put it back on the nightstand not far from him. Yes—all that because his drowsiness absolutely can not be invited to compromise anymore.

Thoriq must have arrived at Bondowoso and the message was to make a report to me. Tomorrow he will reply—toh he will not be angry, Aulia's mind while trying to enter the nature that he thinks is the most beautiful—alam dream.

It did not take long for him to sleep, because his eyes were very heavy.

🍃🍃🍃

Tik tik tak tak...

The sound of the alarm ticked very fast and suddenly woke Aulia who seemed to still want to fall asleep. After turning off the alarm, he slowly squirmed as he blinked his eyes and seconds later he sat down. Before she left the place, Aulia turned to look at the sister who was still sleeping. Aulia's heart was touched when she saw all of that.

Jeez—very sleep pulse.He must be very tired. The patient yes, Dek—cepet healed too, whispered Aulia then kissed her sister's cheek slowly.

After that, Aulia also moved from the bed cover then headed to the toilet to take wudu.

🍃🍃🍃

About 15 minutes later, Aulia had performed morning prayers and had also prayed.

"Sister?" there was a plain voice of Betrand calling out to him.

Suddenly, Aulia turned to her little sister and found Betrand had woken up.

"Yes, Deck. Wake up, huh?" said Aulia while approaching her sister.

"Where do you feel, nobody hurts anymore, right?" aulia asked as she stroked her sister's head.

"Lumayan is improving, brother. So today I can go to school, right?" reply Betrand while holding the hand of the brother.

"Well, is Betrand feeling better? Brother is worried about just fitting Betrand at school later suddenly dizzy. Kan—not fully recovered, Deck."

Betrand was silent at Aulia's explanation. But, he secretly confirmed his brother's speech. Ya—indeed right himself at all has not been fully fit. But that's not what makes him worry—but because he has not been to school for a week, plus the absence was no information at all.

Because of all that ended up making the little figure become depressed.

"But—Kak," with a face that looks restless Betrand then holds his two brothers' hands very tightly. There seemed to be a radiance of sadness from his eyes to the point that he could not continue his words.

"Why, Deck?" continued Aulia.

", i didn't go to school for 1 week. There's never been any evidence, I'm dalfa dong, sis." Betrand's face instantly became gloomy. Seeing that—Aulia immediately comforted her sister while saying, "It must be understandable, really! Momentarily, Big Brother will also confirm to the teachers at the school about Betrand. Don't be sad, yeah!"

Betrand simply nodded slowly with a faint smile.

"If Betrand still feels no better— at home first yes, Deck! Brother will make his license," Aulia advised with a big smile.

Over and over again, Betrand simply nodded in response to the elder brother's words.
