Call Me Rain
Tata and Sasa

Seeing the joy of the children in the halfway house, Alula's heart warmed up. At least here he found a calm that he had not found for a long time. the more days Alula gets closer to the other children especially Jeni and Tata, two children who are like twins but it turns out not it always reminds Alula of her little friend, Marsha. he is closer to Marsha than his sister Dwi.

Tata's obsolescence always reminds her of Marsha and Jeni like her own more calm.

"Enough La ! I was not strong, this leg was soft siga (rich) know.." with breath ngosan Marsha down holding his knee.at that time they were running away from the nagging Pa Tatang owner of the Guava tree.

"You know you have people still taken". Alula grumbled at Marsha.

"Hahaa abis I like to look at the face of Pa Tatang, funny.see not just the mustache is rich in dumboooo catfish whiskers". Marsha could not stop her laughter considering the expression of the owner of the Guava tree she had stolen earlier.

"The catfish has a mustache huh Sa?" alula asked with her innocent face.

"No dam, you keep melting catfish ! take good care of it" said Marsha while pointing at the dam not far from them.

"Ish what the hell is Sa" Alula pokes her lips.

There is no day without Alula, nor is there a day without Marsha. They are both like two sides of different currencies but remain in one form.

At that time they were about to go home after the tragedy of picking up the Guava fruit which ended with the run of the two girls.

"Lala" Marsha's special call on Alula.

"What ?"Alula turned her body towards Marsha, she knew that if Marsha had called her that, there must have been a wish.

"Tomorrow the mallem market in the field has been opened, we go yuk ! just a time there is a promo arumanis buy one dapet two, it can be treated equally you." eyes Marsha looks sparkling imagine himself eating arumanis with promo price.

"OK" replied Alula briefly by raising her thumb "but use your money well." he added.

"It's not a treat to his name." Alula just chuckled

"Oh yes, invite Dwi also well later we ride kora-kora."

"I'm not sure Dwi wants to come"he's a little different.he's more quiet than Alula. he prefers to be alone in the room while reading books or comics.While Alula, he's more reserved than Alula, he was a jolly boy in front of his close friends, but not in front of people he just knew.

"Yes later try to take it with you" Alula simply nodded.

They continued their journey home, Alula and Marsha's house was only a few meters away.

On arriving at the house, Alula saw a black car parked in the yard of her house, who was visiting? what do you think it was Dad ? yes, he knows his father now works as a private driver a wealthy businessman in Jakarta, his father has not come home for a long time. want to immediately let go of longing Alula ran into the house and left Marsha outside alone.

"Yahhh.." cried Alula when she was inside the house, she was about to hug her beloved father, but her steps stopped when she saw Mother and Dwi crying with a crush on the floor.

Alula saw some big tall men surrounding Mother and Dwi, suitcases and some bags belonging to Mother, Dwi and also hers there. What's the matter? What the hell's going on? the question that Alula wanted to ask but she saw her mother shake her head, and widened her hand marked she wanted to hug her eldest daughter.

"Hurry up and take them !" said one of the people who Alula believes is the person most responsible for this incident.

"Well" they answered compactly. Some of them brought suitcases and bags, and put them in the trunk of the car, and some others led Alula, Mother and Dwi into the car.

"Remove your tears.don't let people here have a bad prejudice" said the man, who suddenly claimed to be Alula and Dwi's stepfather. The mother looked at her two daughters and then smiled as if she was telling her two daughters to do the same.

Outside Marsha was still standing at the beginning, he had also intended to come in. but he paused and preferred to wait for Alula to take him, but Alula did not come out.

Marsha sees Alula, Mum and Dwi being escorted by two men in black shirts, and also black pants.it looks like a kidnapper in the eyes of Marsha who is still a child.they bring Alula, who is,Mother and Dwi get into the car. Marsha reflexively rewinds her steps she shudders in fear at this scene.where they think it. just like Alula's expression earlier, she shuddered in fear at the sight, Marsha was silent not a word said her voice as if stuck in the throat until the car left and began to move away from her sight.

Marsha starts waking up when Alula has left, but where ? where are they going ?

"Lalaaa.." cried Marsha who saw the car begin to move away.

"Lalaaa where are you going ? Lalaaa tomorrow we're going to the night market. Lalaa." Marsha did not stop screaming for Alula while running after the car, but failed.

In the mobim Alula noticed her friend, she cried without knowing what the meaning of the cry was, is this a cry as a sign of separation ? but why ? why can't he speak anything, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat.

"Sasa.." he said softly.one word that managed to come out of his mouth.

Alula regained her senses from her daydream when suddenly someone pulled her shirt.

"Ka, Kakaa why the hell from earlier bengoong mulu" said Tata who felt ignored by Alula.

"Oh yeah, what's up Ta?"Alula with face without her exertion.

"Udah ah, brother ngeselin. if you sleep there !"meaning.

"I'm sorry Tata, tomorrow I promise you that you will teach me again." Alula grinned, as she brandished her index and middle fingers to form the letter V.

"Yes, yeah ! beware there is no more buzzing." he threatened.

Alula answered...
