Mirages
Little riri

One day, though,

When Mari was little again about to deliver clean laundry to the owner, as usual he walked through a path that was directly connected to the elite housing complex.

In the middle of the road, precisely near the bamboo garden of a landlord, little Mari saw a little girl her age was sitting crouching while hugging her knees.

His face was hidden between his knees and chest, but it could be seen clearly that he was crying.

His body shook, and a small sobbing sounded from the girl's body.

At first glance, Mari could see that she was not from her village. Her clothes look nice and clean. Very different from other children in his village who always wear clothes that look shabby and shabby.

His skin was white, unlike his delicate self, like a manequin coated with dust.

Let the little one approach him, then he crouches down in front of him. His luggage he put beside him.

"Hey!" Let's shake the girl's body.

The little girl raised her face. Tears were clearly visible filling his chubby cheeks.

"Hiks! Hicks!" the sound of his banging indicates that he had long cried alone in that place.

"What are you doing here? You're not from here, are you?" ask little Mari to the boy.

"Hiks! Hicks! I'm lost! Hicks! Hicks!" replied the little girl, sobbing.

Let's then extend his hand and gently rub the top of the little girl's head.

"Where is your house?" ask little Mari to him.

The little girl nodded slowly. He was confused where his house was, because he had only moved to the region a few days ago.

"Where did you walk from? Why did it get here?" ask little again.

"I forgot. Hicks! I was just chasing a kitten, Hiks! All of a sudden the kitten said it didn't know where, Hiks .. Hiks .. Hiks." The little girl came back crying.

Let little pat the boy on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"You were from there, what from there?" little Mari asked while pointing in two opposite directions.

The little girl stopped her crying, and began to think for a moment. He looked to his right and left, trying to remember where he had come from.

"It's from there" he said, pointing in a direction, but still hesitating.

"Are you sure from there?" ask little Mari.

The girl tried to confirm his words.

"Ehm ..," She nodded while looking at Mari with a stern look.

Let little one rise to his feet, and extend his hand towards the little girl.

The girl looked up.

"Come, I'll take you home."

The little girl immediately smiled widely, and immediately grabbed the helping hand of little Mari.

"You know my house?" ask the little girl.

"Later we'll find it together. But, I have to take this somewhere first" Mari replied, showing a clean cuican bag in her hand.

"Ehm ..," the little girl nodded and walked cheerfully after little Mari, swinging her hand.

"I'm Mari. What's yourname?" ask little Mari while introducing herself.

"My name is Cheria, call me Riri." The girl replied with a smile towards little Mari.

For the first time, little Mari smiled cheerfully while holding hands with a child her age.

Upon arrival at the destination, little Mari as usual knocked on the side door of her mother's laundry subscription house.

After she finished delivering it, Mari left by returning with a pile of dirty laundry that she would hand over to her mother at home.

He first went home with the little girl and delivered the dirty clothes. But when he came home, he did not find his mother at home.

"Maybe going to the stall," Mari thought.

He put his luggage inside, and he left.

"What was your house?" little Riri asked.

Let's just nod without saying.

Little Riri turned to the back, while continuing to pay attention to the house he had stopped for a while. Then she turned her head and looked at Mari's face with a difficult look.

The two noticed one by one the front of each house they passed.

"Do you remember how your house is?" little Mari asked when they had walked far enough, but little Riri did not find his house.

"I just remember, in front of him was a swing and a fish pond." The girl looked back to her right and left.

"Fish ponds and ponds? Means we should peek inside the gate dong," muttered Mari.

"I'm sorry, Mari. You are so hard because of me," said little Riri bowed.

"No papa. I just thought of your parents, who must be worried because their child is suddenly missing" Mari said.

Little Riri looked up and looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him.

"So, did you help me because I thought of my parents? Not because you feel sorry for me?" little Riri asked.

"Do you want to be pitied?" ask Mari firmly with her flat face.

Little riri was silent. He doesn't understand Mari's intentions.

Let's take a rough breath. He did not want to explain anything to the little girl, who certainly would not understand what he said.

"Let's walk again?" bring me back while holding Riri's hand.

Long they walked, until they arrived at the end of the road, which contained only a large house, right in the yard.

The wall of the fence is filled with tendrils of plants that creep and towering up to not see anything from the outside. The gate was so big and magnificent, which was made of iron and wood.

"This is the house that remains. Are you sure you didn't miss it?" ask Let's make sure.

Riri simply shook her head slowly while bowing her head.

"Wanna see the last one?" ask Mari.

Riri found a quiet street in front of her, then looked at Mari and nodded.

"Come on!"

The two of them walked back and got closer to the gate of the mansion.

When we arrived at the front gate, let's peek inside from the gap of the front fence.

"There's a swing" he murmured.

"Hey, who's there!" shouted a security guard at his post.

He yelled at Mari because he saw a little boy peeking out of the fence.

Let's back off, and turn around to run. However, he soon realizes that he is helping Riri to find his home.

Finally, little Mari turned back and tried to dare to face the security that had shouted at her.

"We're gonna find an address, sir!" Let's shout to the security who is still standing inside the fence while shaking his waist against the two little girls.

"There is only one house! Find it somewhere else." The security drove little Mari away.

"But we're looking for a house that has swings. In Dalem there's a swing right, sir!" exclaim Mari undaunted.

"In dalem there's a swing?" whispered Riri who had been hiding behind Mari's body.

Little Mari just nodded without looking back.

"Relie!"

Suddenly from behind, a voice called out to the little girl who was hiding behind Mari's back.

Instantly, the two little girls looked over.

"Sir Arya!" riri's murmur
