Kinara's Wait
Elephant's trunk

They came out of the forest when the dawn prayer finished reverberating. Ali still faithfully hugged Ivory. The son of an intruder who was shot for fleeing.

Ali took Ivory to his room and Lana. Arriving there, he asked one of his colleagues to cook warm water so that Ali could take a bath.

''Fatir! Please provide hot water for me to bathe Ivory. It's impossible to take a cold shower like us. He had been in the forest for too long in the cold air. We take a shower, son? Papi will bathe you.''

Ivory stared at Ali with sadness. ''Hiks.thank you Papi.. You're lucky to meet Papi. Long ago, Abi once said. If you will have a new Papi besides Abi. And true. Papi who became Papi Abang.'' He said to Ali.

Ivory skinny body hugged Ali tightly. ''Hiks.. Brother dear Papi. Do not throw Brother. do not treat Brother like they. they deliberately told Brother to enter the room of the old man. He was told to hold his round egg. Hix.. Brother's afraid! Not to mention that you were forced to wait**** with that black father! Hiks. that's Abang want in. di. di. di. hiks... hiks..'' Ivory did not continue his speech.

Because he did not want to open up again the events that were so frightening for his young self. Ali hugged the body of his adopted son. ''Sstt.. Papi won't do that to you. It's a sin, son. They don't know that. It's been. We take a shower, right? Come on, Om Fatir has prepared warm water for you to take a bath. After this, we will treat your wounds. Come on!''

Ali lifted the body of his adopted son and bathed him there. Ali clenched both his hands while looking at Ivory's body so many bruises.

Even on his still small combat weapon it was flushed red. When touched, Ivory groaned in pain. ''Getting sick?? What are they doing here??'' ali asked while paying attention to the small and uncircumcised ivory gun.

Ivory crying again. ''Hiks.they tortured Abang by means of flops using small pliers. Hiks. sick Papi.. My brother just wanted to die at that time. Hiks. His hands and feet were tied by them. Not to mention in the hole an** Brother, they put a small iron kayak. Pain Papi.. My brother can't walk. Even to pee even Brother cried. hiks. hiks.'' his brother to Ali.

Ali cried hearing the Ivory story. Ali rubbed the rough tears that flowed down his cheeks. ''After that, Papi will find that person. And will Papi the law with Papi's own hands. Papi promise. Come on, Papi's gonna take a shower. Mau dawn prayer. Can you pray??''

Ivory nodded, Can Pi. Abang is often taught to pray by Abi when Abang is six years old. Abi. hiks.''cloak Ivory again.

The more hurt Ali was. Truly, the greatest wound of a child is when he was a child in living forever gone by his parents.

''But take a shower first? Brother just sit here.'' he told Ivory.

Ivory nodded. Ali immediately undressed and began to take a shower. Ivory eyes are perfectly rounded when they see something hanging like the trunk of the elephant.

Instantly Ivory's body trembled in fear. ''Don't! Brother does not want! That's huge! How could it possibly fit in that Brother?! Nope! No!!'' screech him while closing his eyes.

Ali's surprised. ''Why do you think, son?? Brother Why?? Open eyes. Papi's here, baby!'' ali said to Ivory.

Ivory sculpting. It seemed like the memory of the seven-year-old little boy was spinning considering the familiar voice just a few hours ago.

''Flame??'' call her with her eyes closed.

''Yes dear. It's Papi! Papi Ali's! Open your eyes!'' ali's word on Ivory is still closed.

''The papi?? Is this really Papi??'' ask again.

''It's Nak. It's Papi. Papi Ali's. You why??'' tanya Ali was so panicked when she saw Ivory's body was still trembling from fear of something.

''Beef up! Papi! Brother's afraid! It! Tha-that's! It's-that's-that's that grouching on Papi's body! Be-the trunk of an elephant Papi! Just like that guy! Big and Long!'' exclaim Ivory still with closed eyes.

While Ali who is still not connected to confusion. ''What the hell?? Elephant trunk? Which one is Nak?? Papi where's got that! Strange you!'' he said to Ivory while chuckling small.

Ivory nodded confidently. ''There's Pi! It!'' said Gading while holding the trunk of an elephant belonging to Ali that is soft like jelly and covered with a thin cloth as high as the thigh.

Ali glared at his eyes. After realizing, if Ivory was afraid of that thing, Ali laughed out loud. While Ivory, whinyesan.

Ali's adopted son was so happy when he saw Ali laughing. Lana who was standing next to the door also chuckled.

''Then, if the bath is not just wearing a thin cloth gini Ali. Look at your combat weapon! Hihah.. I was afraid to see it? How are you doing, brother?'' seductive Lana to Ali.

Ali chuckled small. ''Nara is not afraid. There is mah, he really likes to playin this trunk. He said it was jelly. It's a pleasure to be in the projects!''

Buhaha...

Lana laughed out loud at Ali's words. That morning I should have been sad because Abi had just died. But no, he also laughed when he saw Ali and Lana laughing together because the elephant trunk had Ali.

The togetherness that will bind Ali and Nara later. Ivory. The little boy who connects Nara and Ali someday.
