Last Pack Rice For Nabila

Last Pack Rice For Nabila
Expelled


Raga Argian is a boy who is forced to grow up briefly because of a load. One month ago, tragically both parents were involved in an accident while scavenging used goods. Leaving deep sadness for him. 


How not, the new Raga will step into adulthood must replace the responsibility of both parents to take care of the younger brother. 


Nabila Rahma, the only sister owned and still four years old. The sudden departure of both of their parents was the heaviest blow for both of them. 


All this time, they lived in poverty. One day only eat one time has become their habit as long as they still gather with family members. However, since the past month, they have to live life just two.


Bruk ….


Shabby bags slammed into the ground. The middle-aged mother stared dislikefully at the two shabby-clothed brats in front of her.


"Go you! It's good to live for free in my hut. This hut has been rented with other scavengers" said the mother. Expel Raga and her sister without feeling.


"Mom, have mercy on us, give me and my sister a ride. We don't know where to go."


"Eh, that's none of my business. Sana, you came to the orphanage. Who knows if the foundation will hold you both."


There's no choice. Already expelled, Raga took out a shabby bag containing a few strands of her clothes and her sister. They walked along the railroad tracks with melting sweat drenching their foreheads.


It had been a kilo meter they walked, but so far there was no purpose. Raga as a focus did not know where to bring his sister shelter.


There was a sea of people, no one was looking at them. Even indifferent when looking at their shabby unkempt appearance. 


"We take shelter under the tree alone" said Raga.


"Silver hungry, isn't he?"


Sliced sembilu, that's how it feels to often hear the complaints of his sister moaning hungry. What he can do, he has absolutely no money.


The leftover money of his parents, which amounted to five hundred thousand, had been used up for a month. That too they are very frugal. And, the rupiah was exhausted when yesterday afternoon to buy a pack of rice and eat both.


Today then? Naas, from morning was confused because he did not have a penny of money, plus suddenly the mother of the owner of the hut where he lived all this time just drove him away.


God, what kind of destiny is this?


Raga wiped the corner of her eye. He thought hard to make money. 


Scavenging used goods? He had no land to take used goods, because every point of land already had rations of each scavenger.  


Another job? He doesn't know what to do. While the place is currently located not far from the iron stretch of the railway. 


Slum land with people indifferent to other humans. Difficulty in life, making them also unable to help others. 


"Stomach When it gets sicker, Brother," the groan sounded bitter. Naturally his sister complained that her stomach was getting sicker, the last time they bribed rice grains was yesterday afternoon. While night until noon this afternoon they have not put anything into their stomachs.


'Mrs, Mr.' Whenever she felt sad, even when she felt hungry, Raga only called Mom and Dad in her heart.


"Sir, you want to find some water to drink. You wait here, don't go anywhere" Raga said.


The seven-year-old girl nodded obediently. "Snake back soon, yeah."


Now changed the nodding Raga. Then the boy walked towards the highway.


Thirty minutes later, Raga was back. He breathed a sigh of relief seeing his sister still leaning under the Aksia tree.


"Sister." Nabila waved her hands happily welcoming her brother's arrival. His eyes were watching as his brother came carrying something. "Breast of food?" Ask sumringah. 


"Hem. Brother bring you bread, Dek." Raga carried a quarter of the bread in front of her sister. On the outskirts of the bread it looked dirty, hurriedly Raga cleaned it. At that moment, his tears almost escaped. But as hard as he could, he held it.


"The crown lives that way. Did you eat already?" tanya Nabila with a frown in astonishment. The bread that the elder brother gave him was even smaller than the size of his palm. There was no chocolate jam or topping, only the tip of the bread was completely unsweetened.


"Sister's money is not enough to buy big bread. This meal was okay today, yes. The bread had also accidentally fallen, but Brother had already cleaned up. Eat what's there, the important thing is that your stomach doesn't hurt." Raga is just entertaining. Everything that is said is a lie. From where he could buy bread, but he had no money. 


The bread he picked up on the ground when a child accidentally dropped it. There was no other choice, he took the piece of bread that had been slammed into the ground to give to his sister. 


That's why the piece of bread was mixed with little sand.


Half a bottle of mineral water was also taken from the trash. At least the water used to drink a person can drain the throat of him and his sister. 


Lowly. The right thing was done very low, but he was forced to do it because there was no other choice.


God knows, he just saved his starving sister.


The corner of Nabila's lips twitched a smile. "Favor, yes, Brother."


Oh my God, how not to be sliced again Raga's heart when she heard the thank you from her sister. He grimaced sadly, even the bread was not worth eating.


Raga swallow saliva. His hungry stomach also felt increasingly wrapped around, but all his might held back. Finally he grabbed a bottle of mineral water that stayed a little to drink. "So don't ask for a little bit of water, yeah."


"Hem." Nabila nodded while chewing the bread. 


Not yet finished with fatigue, Raga still had to think hard to find a new place to live for them. He could not bear if his sister slept in the open and was exposed to the cold of the night wind. He should immediately find a safe place.


"Sir, come on, let's go again. If you're tired, go up to Big Brother's back let Big Brother carry." 


"If you want to be carried. When tired."


"Ep. Come on." Raga was forced to smile in front of her sister. Walk and walk around without knowing the destination. Raga continued to say help to God in order to give him ease.


Exhausted unheard of, he must be strong for the sake of his only life companion.
