Little Star
Screams of heart.

Sorin and Henry were already in the car. Sorin had finished shopping to taste. He still hasn't said a deal or accepted Henry's idea. Because according to Sorin, he had to borrow Henry's money for the business he was going to build.

Between sure and not, Sorin was still confused. However, he chose to remain silent during the return trip.

"I will not force. If you want to accept, I give you." Said Henry turning to Sorin for a moment while driving.

"Henry doesn't have to bother. Sorry, I can't take it."

"Ooh.. No problem, Rin. I'm just giving you an idea, maybe you need a fee." Henry explained the question.

***

Arriving in front of the house. Sorin opened the door wide.

"Go in first, Henry. I made you a drink."

"Already, Sorin. You don't have to drink."

"Don't refuse sustenance, Hen. It's not good to refuse."

"Well, it's up to you."

Sorin brought drinks for Henry. They were inside the boarding house, the door opened at about half-eight.

"This is the drink."

"Yes." Yeah." Henry received a glass directed at him. Soon he drank it.

"Henry." Call Sorin.

"Yes." Yeah." He has drunk his drink.

Sorin deliberately asked, "Henry you still remember no, why did you get caught by the kidnapper back then?"

Henry put a drink near him.

He still wonders for himself. "Tumben Sorin asked about the kidnapper?" inner Henry.

"You forgot?" Sorin wants to know, why did he get caught with Henry? Why not with another child, Ardi suppose? It's a question mark for Sorin and of course for Henry as well.

"I forgot." Henry briefly, made Sorin blink his eyes twice.

"What Henry?! You forgot?" sorin asked in surprise.

"Yes. I forget. Why why?" Henry looks cranky and stiff. But Sorin knew Henry was kind and caring.

Sorin. Maybe he questioned something that wasn't in time. Yeah, like now.

"Tomorrow pr, right?" ask Henry for a moment.

Sorin shook his head, "There is no pr at all. Safe. Hehe."

"Sorin. Are you all right?" Chirp Henry.

It made Sorin even more curious, he answered him quickly. "Yes, I'm fine."

"Is there something wrong with me?" Sorin frowned.

"It's not. I mean, why are you in the UKS with Ardi ? You sick?"

Sorin recalled a dark incident, in which he had to be trapped inside one of the toilets and locked. Strangely locked itself from the outside.

Sorin sniffed at Henry's voice questioning about the UKS. Sorin was afraid, bad things would happen again. Especially if he told Henry. Sorin Henry did not need to know.

"Hehehe---, Yes. I'm in pain. Ardi suddenly came to my aid to the UKS." Sorin was trying to hide the truth.

"You're not lying anymore, are you?" ask Henry full of questions.

"Yes." Yeah." Sorin said as he nodded slowly. His heart was hunting. She hopes no one knows about her being locked in the school bathroom.

"Hehehe----, Why do you like to ask? Aren't you tired of asking questions?" Sorin was looking for another conversation.

"Why indeed? You scared? What if I can't be trusted?" Henry is increasingly challenging, as Sorin is seen hiding something from his point of view.

Sorin took a long breath. "It's not like that, Henry. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm really fine." Sorin confirmed to Henry who was still looking intently at him.

Henry didn't say a word at all. He saw Sorin lying.

"Vica. What's your next plan? Wanted that flirty girl?" Said Alya with a spoiled tone.

"Yes. Our plan was to get him in the toilet. I feel satisfied!" Disty interrupted Alya's excited question.

Everyone laughed at Disty's words. "Yes, I did too!" reply all the same.

Vika laughed while looking for a way. So Sorin doesn't come near Henry anymore.

"Easy or difficult, according to all of you?" vika asked back widening a cynical smile.

"All of you are difficult." Disty growled while clenching a strong hand.

They are all planning bad things.

Henry returned home from Sorin's house. Sorin was very relieved. Because he's been interrogated Henry meticulously.

Henry is good at guessing someone's heart. Moreover, no one told himself at all. But Henry probably found out for himself. I don't know, it's not certain, but, looks like Henry wants to know.

"Sorry Henry. I kept it a secret from you. Not because you don't think of you as a good friend. But, I think it's painful to tell."

Slowly the rhythm of turning the previous event repeated itself. Alone, lonely, hungry and no one knows. Even with a loud shouting for help. It traumatized Sorin.

Sorin's luck comes right up to Ardi going to the toilet, albeit accidentally. After the incident happened to make Sorin more alert to friends in his class.

Sorin's hands trembled violently, cold sweat dripping down his clothes. He was in the Cost. He tried to stay calm. Slowly exhale and throw it away.

"I-i'm strong. I-I'm fine." His tone stammered, as if trying nothing happened to him.

He could not contain the painful feelings that Sorin felt. The hard life makes it to the intersection road that looks smooth, it turns out full of holes and steep. Meeting Henry and being registered for free, to him was a miracle. However, after the passage of time is not as easy as imagined.

Sorin cried, spilling all his fatigue. He hopes his efforts will be fruitful quickly.

"Hiks.. Hix.. What wrong? Until when can I find happiness for my father's sake!"

Sorin's tears fell down. As hard as it feels to have to fight alone, there is no presence of two parents who love Sorin at this time. Not to mention the hostile school environment.

He just needed to gather the rest of his energy and spirit back for the next day.

Sorin also chose to lay down his body, after he spilled worry and tired of his own future.

***

Morning before going to school. Ardi had been waiting for Sorin for a few minutes. He left together like a promise made before.

They left early because they were walking to school.

"There's no PR today?" ask Ardi to make sure.

"There is no Ardi. Safe. Ahaha.."

"OK.." Ardi was short on excitement.

Sorin smiled back at Ardi. Ardi started the conversation.

"Rin, you know what? cause of the problem that accidentally ngunki Lo in the toilet ?" Chirp Ardi glanced at Sorin next to him while walking leisurely.

"No idea, Ar. I'm gonna pee again." Sorin said the truth happened.

"Gue wonder. How dare that child. There's evidence I report to the principal." Ardi said firmly considering the incident was not intentional at that time.

"I'm glad I met Lo, Rin." continued Ardi.

"Hm." Sorin just cleared his throat without another word.

"Sorrys. If I'm late, please help Lo." Ardi's regret is still there. Because, he saw with his own eyes, Sorin was already in a limp condition.
