After coming out of the snack shop there was no conversation between Leathina and Nora, since Nora had only been silent while Leathina was the same. Leathina was only focused on her journey in order to arrive soon.
“I wonder how the kids are doing, I haven't visited them in a long time. Is your little one big already?” inner Leathina could not wait to meet the children in the orphanage.
“So why are you smiling like that?” asked Nora who was now looking up and watching Leathina's face which had just kept smiling.
“Of course, you don't put on a sullen face like that either. You're gonna scare them.”
“Haiss, Leathina's sister turns out to be cheating on me.” Nora muttered that she was upset with Leathina.
Leathina simply smiled not responding to Nora's muttering that looked very upset.
“Which sister Leathina really likes to smile like that, I don't like it!” Inner Nora who was feeling upset.
“You don't need to envy them, you have to be nice to those kids later.” Leathina told Nora.
Nora was aghast as she felt Leathina could read her mind and looked up to see Leathina.
“So I read my mind?”
“No, what do you think?”
“So I was thinking of hating another sister.”
“It's clearly visible on your face.”
“Really?”
“Yes, just try to reflect. Your face says that you're upset and angry with me right now, right?”
“I'm not mad at Leathina's sister but I'm mad at Lain's sisters.”
“Nah now look ahead.” Leathina told Nora.
Nora obeyed Leathina's words and saw a not-so-big mansion from a distance.
“So this is his home.” Nora muttered then observed from a distance.
There were a lot of children playing in the yard and when Leathina passed through the gate and made the kids see it all the kids were quick to run straight towards Leathina.
“Kakak Lea!” exclaim all children scrambling to get up first than others to welcome the arrival of Leathina.
“Ah, don't come near you will get hurt if you are on horseback!” Leathina then jumped down from her horse and immediately tied it so as not to escape.
“Kakak Lea, we heard that brother is sick?”
“Iya, we are worried about big brother.”
“Kakak also never again visited us.”
As the scrambling children wanted to talk to Leathina, Leathina simply smiled and slowly walked towards the gathered children.
"As you can see, I'm fine."
All the children immediately ran around hugging Leathina to make Leathina difficult to maintain her balance and in the end fell on the grass.
“Hei! You made my brother fall!” nora shouted, then asked all the children to release Leathina.
"Why is Nora doing business by emphasizing on my sister's words, is she jealous right now?" inner Leathina when she saw Nora was busy taking care of the children asking them a little away from Leathina.
“It's okay Nora, I'm fine. Don't scream like that you scared him.”
“Ma-I'm sorry, take this my sister bought it for you!” said Nora then immediately gave a package containing snacks that she had bought in the city along with Leathina.
“Woah! There are sweets and biscuits!” all the kids are excited.
“Thanks!” said the children again took the shelter given by Nora and immediately ran towards the mansion to share it with other children.
“They're kids who don't have parents, so you have to be nice to her. I didn't bring you here just to scare him.” Said Leathina firmly telling Nora.
“I'm sorry brother, I'll be nice.” Nora complied because she did not want to disappoint Leathina.
“Alright, smart boy.” Leathina praised Nora, then stood up and walked to the mansion following the children who had run first to the mansion.
“Welcome Miss Leathina.” Greet madam Gisella who is one of the caretakers of the home.
“Thanks madam Gisella.” Responded Leathina politely.
“Do you want to leave a new child? We will take good care of her young lady.” Answer the other caretaker who looks new at the home.
“Ah, this is my sister Nora. We just came to visit” Leathina directly introduced Nora because Madam Gisella and others like her misunderstood thought she would leave a new child in the orphanage.
“Pardon our misunderstanding Miss Leathina.” said madam Gisella and others to Leathina.
“It's okay, it's the first time you've seen my sister. But, it looks like many new surfers are now working here?” Leathina then noticed some of the caretakers she had never seen before.
“Our bill came from some people who want to work voluntarily as a caregiver here, sorry I did not tell you in advance as the person who made this place miss.”
“Ah, you guys don't need to ask me for permission if it's something good.”
“But still we seha ..”
“You are too much, don't be like that, I feel bad.” Leathina said awkwardly.
“Kakak?” call Nora to Leathina.
“Hustt! Silent.” Leathina's whisper to Nora.
“Nona Leathina! Finally you come also I am worried because of the news circulating in the city.” Excited one of the nannies who ran towards Leathina.
“Emely! I'm doing fine. How are your wounds healed?”
“Certainly healed, miss who me..mmppp.”Leathina immediately shut her mouth.
“How's your brother doing?”
“My brother was put in jail for cooperating with criminals.”
“So like that, so why are you coming back here again?”
“I'm here as a nanny, I'll live here for now and help the kids grow up well.”
”Wah! thanks Emely.”
“Ah, we should be grateful to Miss Leathina.”
“It is not necessary.”
“Agam?!” leathina exclaimed as she saw a child suddenly popping out of Emely's back.
“Wah you've grown.” Leathina then pinched Agam's cheek.
Agam stretched out his hands and looked at Leathina with a face that was about to cry.
“It looks like Agam misses you Miss Leathina.” Madam Gisella told Leathina.
“Ah, so so. Then come here.”
Leathina then immediately took Agam from Emely and carried him on her back carefully, tightly wrapped her arms around Leathina and hugged her tightly.
“You miss it well?” muttered Leathina who felt anxious with Agam who was still holding her.
“Ohiya, this is my sister Nora and Nora this is Agam. Be nice to each other.” Leathina introduced both.
“Nice to meet you little sister.” Nora greeted Agam as Leathina showed him, while Agam only saw Nora.
“Good. Let's play outside with the other kids.”
Leathina takes her younger siblings Nora and Agam out to play with the other kids. But when the children saw him they all stopped playing and instead gathered around Leathina.
“Kakak Lea, is the news true?” ask the curious kids.
“What news do you guys hear?” Ask Leathina.
“That's about the news that says that brother is seriously ill.” Say worried children.
“Do I look sick now?” leathina asked with a smile.
All the children shook their heads simultaneously, seeing that Leathina was relieved because the children were no longer worried about her.
“Kakak Leathina looks very strong!” say the kids who start babbling.
“Secret Leathina will always be healthy!”
“Kakak Leathina is always healthy.”
“Impressed kids. But you praise me too much,” said Leathina who began to feel awkward because the children continued to praise her.
After that they all play together as well as Nora who looks very happy to be able to play with children, she also looks familiar with Agam who he first met.
Leathina who saw all that also felt very happy because she could finally meet again.
“Luckily I brought Nora here, the kids seem to like her a lot.” Gumam Leathina then sat in the grass tired of playing chases with children.
“I have to go out to get around in the city, but I don't want to bring Nora with me.” Inner Leathina who then moved from her seat.
“Kakak not coming home?” asked Nora who then approached Leathina when she saw her standing again.
“It's soon night, we have to go back. Your father and mother will definitely be worried because I took you without asking their permission first.”
“Eh? I'm going home already. Isn't sister there another need?”
“What need, I came out just to play around like this. So don't think of the like.” Leathina spoke while pinching Nora's cheek as she looked disappointed.
“Good our children say go home first yes.” said Leathina bidding with the children of the home.
“Sister Nora should come often yes, sister Leathina also.”
Nora and Leathina just smiled displeasedly as they did not want to promise, it was difficult for the two to continue wandering outside.
“Where is Leathina's sister going, isn't our horse there?"
“I also have to say goodbye first to Madam Gisella and other caretakers.”
Nora followed Leathina from behind but stopped while on the doorstep not coming in with Leathina and just waiting outside.
“I'm back, madam Gisella.” Leathina said goodbye to the caretakers.
“Insured to have visited miss Leathina.”
“I will probably rarely visit again for the future madam, take this and use it for the needs of children and also the caretakers.” Leathina handed over a bag of money to Madam Gisella.
“Abserved many misses, we really thank you.” Madam Gisella then bowed to give her respect.
“I thank you for taking good care of all the children.”
“Be careful on your trip Miss Leathina.”
After saying goodbye Leathina directly out, and walked away to where she kept her horse.
“Let's go home, put on your robe and cover your head.”
“Good sister.”
Nora immediately put on her robe and put on her hood as Leathina requested, and climbed onto the horse assisted by Lethina.
“I didn't know that brother built the orphanage.”
“You're wrong I didn't build it myself, there are a few other good people who took part.”
“Who? Do I know him?”
“You don't know him."
"But, did the children live there from childhood? It seems that the mansion was not built as a children's shelter.”
“The children were victims of human trafficking committed by criminals, I accidentally met with a criminal who took them and brought them here.”
“Really? Wow, brother is really great. Can I come here again sometime?”
“Of course you can, but you have to keep it a secret.”
“Why wouldn't it be good if known by the crowd?”
“Pokonya don't, whatever happens don't tell anyone. Without exception father and Nicholas of course your mother should not either. You promise?”
“Iya I promise.”
“Smart child.”
“But big brother, isn't sister keeping too many secrets? I never thought Leathina's sister would be like this.”
“What do you imagine about me.”
“There is no shadow at all, because all this time Leathina's sister just kept quiet did not explain anything and did not want to involve sipapun.”
“So, do you like me Nora?”
“Why does sister Leathina ask such a strange question? Of course I like Leathina's sister, isn't it already visible on my face?”
“I can't see your face now so I don't know.” Leathina replied jokingly.
“Sister shouldn't we buy something before we go home? House people will definitely be suspicious if we don't bring anything back to the mansion.”
“You're right Nora, what should we buy?”
“Buy only some cookies or snacks to share with dad, Nicholas and Mom.”
“Alright we will stop by to buy it then.”
Leathina and Nora immediately bought some cookies and snacks to make souvenirs when they returned home at a nearby cake shop they both found.
“Are you hungry?” leathina asked after realizing that they had been wandering around since then without filling their stomachs at all.
“What is sister also hungry?”
“Leathina nodded then circulated her gaze looking for a food stall they could enter to fill their stomachs.”
“Ahk! Come Nora.”
Suddenly Leathina pulls Nora into hiding behind a pile of things, occasionally Leathina peeks to make sure the person she saw was the right one or not.
“Who's sister?” tanya Nora then took a peek looking around for people they should avoid.
“That's Anne, could be dangerous if she sees tips here.” Leathina pointed to a shop and saw Anne standing there with her other friends.
“They are also walking around,” muttered Nora who also watched Anne from a distance.
“Kakak, they all buy masks.”
“Iya mask, uh ..” Leathina greeting instantly came to a halt when she saw Anne and her friends buying the mask across the street.
“What do Anne and her friends also hear rumors about a misterusi restaurant in the slum, this can be dangerous they fall into the trap of bad people.” Leathina muttered as she continued to watch Anne from a distance.
“Rumor?” nora asked confusedly. “Ah, I've also heard about restaurants with mask rules. But what's the big sister's maid there for?”
“I have to follow her, but I can't possibly take Nora with me to such a place.” Inner Leathina then looked at Nora worriedly, afraid that Nora would be in danger.
“Don't tell me brother is thinking of sending me back?”
“Yes you have to go back now Nora. I'll pay someone to drive you back safely, come on.”
“No.” Nora pulls Leathina's hand that will stand up and refuses to be sent back.
“It's dangerous I have to send you back..”.
“Second sister!” Nora pulled Leathina back and lowered her head to hide her face as Anne suddenly turned her head towards where they were hiding.
“Your reflexes are good Nora.”
“Sister shouldn't praise me at times like this, I know brother is trying to persuade me back. Anyway I don't want to go back if I'm not with sister Leathina.”
“Alright, fine, but before that we have to make an absolute rule and you have to obey all the rules if you break then I will immediately return you.”
“All right I agree.”
“First don't stay away from me, stay within my range of supervision. Second don't act as you please and do whatever I say. Understand?”
“I understand.”
“Not only understand you also have to promise me.”
“I promise big sister Leathina will follow all the rules that big sister Leathina made.”
“Good.”
The two of them make a deal with each other and follow Anne from a distance to keep an eye on where Anne went.
