Little Dandelion
Chapter 21. The Tale of Little Caca

Nael puts Caca's body on the bed. Nael then removed Caca's hand from her collar. The nurse quickly nursed Caca back, her condition weak. Everyone approached Caca to see her condition.

Mr. Tris and Mr. Heru asked Ms. and Sister Caca to wait and accompany Caca alone, while those who would take care of all the administration and other needs.

Caca's friends try to calm down Caca's crying mother. Nael sat beside Caca, looking at her weak face.

"Norwegian, Caca. Poor Caca," said Mother in tears.

"As a child he lost both his parents and now he has lost his father. Her trauma has returned, her pain has returned to her," Caca's mother said in tears.

Nael only listened to Mother Caca's words, his eyes were only on Caca, he recalled his words yesterday.

"And one more. You are my subordinate, do not pretend to be familiar with me. You don't have to care about me, any person like you might have lost a parent. Only I know how to lose a mother, and you don't have to interfere!"

Nael just looked down sad to remember his words, it turns out Caca experienced a lot of heavy and sad things than him.

He just understood his curiosity about Caca, why he was afraid of the dark, why his father was different from him and why he was always mysterious. Nael then grieves and tears.

The incident made Caca's friends become curious. They wanted to know about Caca actually, then Mba Dewi ventured to ask.

"Sorry, Mother. But can't you tell me a little bit about Caca as a kid? we really want to know, but if you're not happy, that's okay, Mom."

Caca's mother looked at everyone, she looked at Caca.

"First. I'm just a traveling food merchant and my husband Mr. Burhan is a hansip. We both live in villages and small houses."

"We met Caca's parents, when there was a culinary center in the village. I happen to be selling there."

"Caca's still in the womb, they're on a working visit there. They came to me because they smelled the delicious aroma of my cooking. Then I offered it to them."

"Caca's biological father is very handsome and Caca's mother is very beautiful, her face is similar to Caca's today."

"They both look like rich people, there are a lot of bodyguards around, but they're still friendly even if I'm dirty and just poor."

"The next day, her mother Caca came to me back. He loved my cooking, this time he came alone and was only escorted by two bodyguards. Caca's dad was busy with his guests."

"Because she was going home to the City, she asked me to work as a maid in her house."

"Then Caca's father came to his wife along with my husband, he told me my husband had helped him fight off the robbers while taking money in the Bank."

"Dad Caca then wanted my husband to be one of his bodyguards. That's why we moved in and worked in his mansion."

"They were very kind, giving us a place to live in a housing complex that we live in today."

"One day Caca's mother felt the heartburn she wanted to give birth, I immediately took her to the hospital and Caca was then born."

"Caca adds to this family's happiness, let alone her cute face with standing hair, making everyone who saw her laugh. Caca's father often called him the cute and sweet little papa Dandelion."

"My husband's on duty will take care of Caca, because she's his only daughter."

"My husband is very happy, because we do not have children he also considered Caca as his own daughter. Caca's father has also allowed Caca to play with my husband."

"So gradually they get closer, if there are problems other than to his parents, Caca also likes to complain to Mr. Burhan. I am also happy with their closeness. Caca's a good boy."

"When the seven-year-old Caca family ran into big trouble, she was betrayed by the person they had helped, she was the evil Satya. He wants to rule over all of the Caca family's wealth and he gets even more angry that Caca's parents refuse to match Caca with his son."

"Caca has been betrothed to the right person, just waiting for the right time, then they will be reunited."

"Satyas. He is not self-aware, he was once imprisoned by Caca's father for corruption in his company. From the news that circulated he fell into poverty and his wife went mad and committed suicide."

"Satya also escaped from prison and became a fugitive at that moment she also wanted revenge and wanted to kill the entire Caca family."

"One day Caca's parents were commemorating her wedding anniversary, the party was so festive. Caca's mother is beautiful in a simple white dress."

"Sir Burhan, my husband is on leave because I miscarried and he asked my husband to accompany me first for a few days."

"After the event. Little Caca was playing in the park, she was off guard because they were busy with Caca's parents who were being attacked by a herd of criminals. Little Caca's been kidnapped."

"Dad Caca saw his son kidnapped directly chasing the kidnappers, his wife was killed at that time."

"Little glass just cries she's scared, the villain locks Caca in a cramped, dark van."

"Dad Caca did not think long he immediately helped Caca who was crying in fear."

"Dad Caca managed to save Caca but she was seriously injured then she called my husband to come to the address he had given and asked to bring the police as well."

"They both hid in the room of the former house so dark. But those criminals found Dad and Caca. The criminals immediately beat Caca's father helpless."

"Caca just cried wherever immediately brought by the criminals, but my husband came on time and immediately beat the criminals. Caca was rescued and taken away by my husband."

"Finally Caca was brought home and adopted by us. The presence of Caca became an entertainer for those of us who had just lost a child due to miscarriage."

"Little glass won't go out of the room. She was scared and unwilling to eat or drink, she just cried calling her parents both."

"Pak Burhan always comforts Caca, he always calms Caca down when sad. Caca smiled again when my son Handi was born, he loved Handi like his own sister. Since then Caca has been part of our family ...."

Caca's mother came back crying she couldn't bear the sadness, and she stopped telling stories.

"I'm sorry" said Nael.

"I'm sorry about Mom and Carisa. Because of my stupidity all this happened, please forgive me!" nael said while apologizing to Caca's mother.

"It's okay, Nael. It's all happened" Caca's mother said, wiping her tears.

***

Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris came, they have taken care of all the administration and will bring Mr. Burhan's body to the funeral home and will be buried soon.

"It's all set, Miss Siti. Let's go to the funeral home. We must be sincere," said Mr. Heru.

"Good, Sir. What about Caca? who would accompany her if she were sober?" ask Caca's mom.

"Let me accompany Carisa" Nael replied as she looked at Caca who was lying down.

Heru sir won't allow it, because Caca is very angry with Nael.

"Can't! Caca is angry with you. What if he's sad to go back and rampage like that."

"Let Nael keep Caca for the night, Heru." Mr. Tris calmed Mr. Heru.

"Well," said Mr. Heru agreed.

Caca's friends then asked for permission to go home because it was night. Nael asked Ahmad to take them to their homes.

***

An ambulance siren rang, indicating that Caca's father would go to his final resting place and would never return. Her task has been completed, she has kept her promise to protect and be loyal to Caca and her family.

"Good road, Mr. Burhan. We all respect you."

In Car.

Ahmad was driving a car to drive Caca's friends home.

During the trip they were just sad and crying to see Caca and her heartbreaking story.

"No idea yes. Caca had a tragic story as a child" said Mba Dewi.

"Yes, Mba. He also lost his father now. Poor Caca." said Mul tea.

"I salute her fortitude, all this time she never told her problems as a child and also her family problems. We think he's just a regular guy like us, it turns out he's an important person we didn't think he was all along" Lista said.

"Yes I also during the new work know this incident. The gentleman whose mouth is always muddled never talks about this to me. It signifies that Caca is so precious and his life is always in danger" Ahmad said.

"Yes, Mad. Caca is still our friend. We should also always support him and help him escape his grief" said Teh Mul.

They also recalled the time with Caca who was carefree and kind.

……………………………………………………………………………

At the Hospital.

Nael was accompanying Caca who was still lying down. Caca always wants and calls dad and dad and mommy.

Nael always remembers Caca's memories. Not much, but he always remembers. How he always helped Caca many times when he slipped down or when he was afraid of the dark and laughed together when they worked in the warehouse.

Nael just wants Caca to wake up, he wants to apologize to Caca.

***

It was night time, and the sad Nael fell asleep beside Caca.

Seriate.
