Hate the Mermindu
darren and Devano

At that time the sun was hot, the heat in the body was also unable to lie because the swift sweat flowed like a river in the rainy season.

a long-haired boy with a dusty face was still rubbing his customers' shoes, judging by his fancy-looking shoes, the boy kept his eyes on the owner of the shoes in his hands, a master in a suit and acting very neat and fragrant.

His hair that drizzle neatly arranged and also do not miss the handsome man's face very captivating eyes anyone who will stare.

The angel's shining face smiled as it caught the gaze of the slum boy who was brushing his shoes with polish, his hands were very skillful even though his body was sweating tired and overheating.

If you notice the boy is as good as his son, ah.. Sometimes the world is not fair to some people, where children at home can eat well, but here there is a dirty boy scavenging to be able to eat every day.

"are you not in school?. "

Staring at the twinkle, because he saw a black boy because the dust still had a spirit and a dream that was stirring from the look of his eyes.

Highlight admiration was aimed at the man in the suit, amazed because people as rich as him still want to shine his expensive shoes in the hands of a seedy like himself.

"school master, you're my last customer, after this I have to go home to get ready for school. "

the answer is firm and passionate, it means this child still has dreams and ideals in his mind.

"what did your parents do? ".

" i don't have a mother, if father...

Doubt rang out from his last sentence, his gaze dimming slightly as he weighed in his heart whether to tell this seemingly kind-hearted master or not about his father's current condition.

The kind-hearted master frowned for a while, until he finally smiled as he patted the boy hard on the shoulder to drain the spirit, he knew the child's world must be hard, he knew, until you have to think just to tell a story about a family to a stranger like himself.

"it's okay if you don't want to answer, I just ask because you are diligent in childhood like this. "

"no sir, I have a father, but I'm sick. "

"at the hospital? ".

the child shook his head subtly, while talking while his hands continued to work painstakingly.

" at home, because the pain can not be treated in an ordinary hospital. "

The puzzled face of the kind-hearted master, instantly only a curious look further dominated.

"you mean, should a big hospital?. "

"yes, and it has to be a special hospital".

" what pain? How bad?. "

the boy smilingly looked at the kind-hearted master, he wiped the sweat that was about to fall off his forehead, his work was almost done.

"sick soul". He continued, without burden, without shame and full of confidence, and then he lifted his shoes before the face of the kind master, showing that his work was done, he wanted to see the net of satisfaction for the value he worked on that pair of fancy shoes.

Until finally the next meeting continued, the kind-hearted master had now subscribed with him, saying, polishing his luxurious shoes that always change every day while chatting briefly accompanied the boy until his work finished polishing his shoes.

"Darrenn".

Well.. The kind-hearted master already knew the name of the dusty slum boy well, I don't know what made them so familiar, you know, but he seems happy to meet Darren in the moments when he lost a gem by his side.

" let's stay with uncle, but you have to promise me something. "

Darren's always sparkling gaze now seemed a little afraid, he was afraid if he could not keep the promise that had not been said, his bad taste was so great because the kind-hearted master he now called the uncle had helped him a lot.

Helping his father enter a hospital that is quite good, a hospital that he can visit at any time because now his name is written as the living guardian of his father who is helpless for several years.

Uncle also accompanied him to some matters concerning hospital procedures until he finally understood and did not need the help of uncle again if taking care of something for his father, giving him a decent place to live, he said, paying for his school which was actually just an ordinary school, helping him for some things when he needed an adult like an uncle in his life.

Now it's appropriate that he pays it all with his loyalty, right? What's he supposed to do? Will it be able and feel heavy? Darren doesn't know where his ability to return to people as good as uncle.

"promise? What promise uncle? ".

Smile and twinkle the eyes of the uncle, he seemed to bring home the most beautiful gift from God for him.

" please take care of my son, be his friend, his brother, his guard, his defender, whatever makes you close and become one, please accompany him in his days, every day until you grow up together, please live next to him all your life, support him in any positive way, be a part of his life. "

Waitie? Darren seems a little misunderstood, he has never met his uncle's son, but often he heard stories about uncle's son who was said to be very hard hit by the loss of his biological brother who had not long died due to an accident.

And here he is now, faced with a figure who seems not much different in terms of their age and height, eyes that stare either arrogance or cold it seems unfriendly, he said, standing stiffly with a dark aura seemed to swerve behind his back.

"Devano" is his name, so he's a boy?

Darren's mind wanders in remembering the promise that should be a condition of the kind uncle.

Ah.. I should have asked my uncle from the beginning about the child he was always talking about.

There is a tickling tickle that laughs at himself in Darren's heart, stupidly he thinks that the uncle's son is a woman.

#

since that meeting, Darren tried hard to get close to Vano who apparently already likes to make people upset, even so Darren is grateful that Vano was not as cute and cold as the first impression they met.

Darren follows all the activities of Vano, starting from school, playing music, sports and playing Vano's favorite games, Darren becomes a shadow of Vano who looks arrogant and sometimes confused with his thoughts.

Until Devano finally told all about the accident of Brian the younger brother that made him suddenly destroyed instantly, because Vano just playing and interacting with his sister, Vano, they are very close and also familiar for something.

Darren understands the grudge that is still burning in Vano's mind, although he secretly sees tears in the corner of the eye whenever Vano remembers his brother Brian, Darren always wishes, he said, Vano found what he wanted until now.
