The next day, during the day came a young couple with a baby carrying came to the Orphanage of Mother Love. The young couple came with their parents and in-laws. They bring a lot of gifts ranging from basic food, powdered formula, snacks, school supplies, to reading books. All gifts will be given to all children who are in the Orphanage of Mother Love.

The group entered the Orphanage and was greeted warmly by the Head of Orphanage, Ms. Lisa. Yes, Miss Lisa received well the young family.

“Thank you for your visit Father and Mother. I am very grateful that Mr and Ms. Raditya have been pleased to share their love to the children who are here,”, said Ms. Lisa sincerely.

Apparently who came to visit the Orphanage that afternoon was the couple Raditya Wibisono and his wife Khaira Amaira. The two come to the Orphanage to share their love as a form of gratitude for the birth of their first daughter named Arsyilla. (Who wants the story of Radit and Khaira, please stop by and read the Author's work entitled Sharing Love: Meminang Without Love).

“Sama-sama Bu Lisa, we also thank you for being welcomed here,” said Radit who also thanked you for being so welcomed at the place.

Actually, the idea of sharing it was the idea of Radit's wife, Khaira. For Khaira herself, postpartum and having a baby feels like she wants to share. Because for Khaira to share it does not have to wait when someone has it. With what we have, as long as sincere and sincere everything can be done. Share without waiting for time.

The middle-aged couple who accompanied Radit and Khaira to the orphanage also felt that the idea of sharing love was a noble idea.

“Makasih Khaira, you are very young, but have thought to share with the children here,” said Bunda Dyah who is none other than Khaira's mother.

The young lady who looked at her husband, “All this is the idea of Mas Radit as well, Khaira just followed the wishes of the husband,” replied the woman so gently.

Feeling the wife was praising him, the man named Radit began to voice, “Suya Radit just want to share his love. True giving does not have to wait for us rich, as long as our sincere heart can give to others. This form of gratitude Radit has been able to get a baby and given the struggle of Khaira yesterday, Radit so want to share love to the children here,” reply the man who was then embraced by his entire family.

“Mas, I want to play with the kids here can?” kaira asked her husband.

“Bby Darling ... Arsyilla let it be the same, you can spend time with the kids here,” Radit reply.

After getting permission from her husband, Khaira then went to the crowd of children.

“Halo sisters ... want aunty read a story for you?” ask Khaira. The young woman offered to read the story to the children sitting around her.

“Mau ...” The kids say it at the same time.

“Before we met first well, the name of Aunt is Khaira, later we meet one by one well,” he said.

Then Khaira picked up a book and started reading fairy tale books to the children there.

One day, a Mother Duck was incubating her eggs. He could not wait for his children to be born into the world. Finally, the day waiting for the duck mother arrived. The eggs hatch one by one, and the chicks come out of their shells. However, the mother duck is very surprised from some of her children there are different. One of his sons was of a different color than his brothers. It has a gray color and has a larger body than the others.

Looking at her different son the duckling mother was astonished. However, he did not care and welcomed his children born into the world. Mother duck directly invites her children to swim together in the lake.

As they swim, they pass by other animals that see the mother duck and her children. But they were also whispering.

"Who is that? He was so different from his other brothers, he was so ugly." Whispers of animals that see the duck family. Hearing what the other animals said made the mother feel sad. However, he did not care because one child was indeed different from the other. But he is still his son.

All the animals taunt the gray duck. Even his own brother. The ashes felt very sad. He decided to leave because he no longer wanted to live there. He walked around and met a dog who was looking for food. Seeing the dog, the ash duck was frightened because he was afraid to eat by him. However, the dog instead ran away from the gray duck. Seeing the dog running away from him, he felt even more sad because the dog was afraid to see him.

He also continued the journey. On the way, he felt exhausted and fell asleep in front of a house. Suddenly, a Cat and a Chicken came to him. A gray duck woke up from his sleep and saw the two animals. However, they immediately drove the gray Duck to leave the front of the house.

Deeply sad, he continued on his way. He walked very far and finally, he rested by the river. He saw a swan passing by. He was also very envious to see the beauty of the Goose.

"I'm sad because I'm ugly and can't be like you guys." Reply Itik abu sad.

The Goose troupe just laughed.*

"Who said you were ugly? You're so beautiful like us." Answer Goose.

The Goose group also invited Duck ash closer to the river bank. The gray duck was very surprised to see the figure of the white Goose in the water. He did not see his ugly self and was feared in the water. He wondered who the beautiful swan was.

"The beautiful person is you. You're just like us."

Grey ducks are very happy. Now, it's not that ugly Duck anymore. It is a very beautiful swan. He also flew with other Goose and found a very warm place for them to live together.

(Little Ugly Things - Hans Christian Andersen)

Khaira recited the fairy tale and the children looked enthusiastic. However, when the other children began to continue with other activities, there was a boy who was still sitting in front of Khaira. Khaira approached the little boy.

“Hei, hello ... Your name is Nak?” ask Khaira gently. Khaira sat down in front of the 4-year-old.

“My name is Adhi Narotama Aksara, commonly called Aksara,” the boy replied confidently.

“Wah, your name is good. Aksara .. yes Aksara is a good name. How old are you?” ask Khaira again.

“Three - four years,” replied Small script adorable.

Khaira smiled and gently stroked the head of the Aksara. It felt like the little boy before her was adorable and also pitying at almost the same time.

“Why Aksara do not eat cake with other friends?” ask Khaira.

“Aksara likes the Little Duck Fable Bad Fig. Aksara feels that Aksara is Bad Duck Figured it,” Aksara said so innocently.

Khaira also shuffled and carried Aksara in her lap. Aksara spoke to Khaira again.

“Iya .. Aksara has no one. Aksara lives in an orphanage and has no family. However, one day Aksara wants to be a successful child,” Aksara said confidently.

“You must be a smart school yes Aksara .. you want not to go to school, Aunt will school you?” tawar Khaira while rubbing black hair belonging to Aksara.

Aksara also nodded, “Mau .. can Aksara call Aunt and Om as Mother and Father?” ask Aksara.

It was as if there was an urge in the heart of the little characters of that time to be able to call the young couple he had just met by calling him Mother and Father. The little boy felt like an ugly little duckling that had no one. However, Khaira and Radit who had just met in fact could make Aksara want to call both with the name of Father and Mother.
