The Injured
Preferentially

A privilege is present in Rion's third baby. Rian Dwi Juanda is more familiarly called Iyan. This boy was different from a boy in general. The child who is always ignored by the mother who is more focused on her sister, Riana.

Iyan's solitude makes him have a world of his own. When he was five years old he had a friend named Jojo. Every time Iyan told Jojo about her, Iyan was yelled at. At that age Iyan did not understand anything. Iyan was only silent when the mother snapped at him.

"Jo, why does Mother always behave like that if I want to introduce you?" Jojo the boy of Iyan's age just smiled.

The ban made by his mother made Iyan grow into a home child. He always does everything at home. Fortunately there was Jojo beside him who always made Iyan laugh and feel like he had friends.

Until one day, Iyan was left alone by the mother. There is no food at home. Only instant noodles available. Want not to and can not Iyan make noodles. However, Iyan left that water-filled face to the television room. He forgot his main purpose. The smell of the smoke made Iyan run towards the kitchen. The puff of black smoke in the kitchen made Iyan panic.

"How is this?" The fear and panic that Iyan now felt.

Suddenly the stove died and Jojo emerged from the smoke.

"Don't be afraid it's okay." Jojo always gives warmth to Iyan.

The arrival of the mother who was suddenly hysterical made Iyan out of the room.

"What are you doing in the kitchen?" snarled the mother at Iyan.

"Sorry, Mother. Earlier, Iyan was hungry. Want to make boiled noodles but ...."

"Basin a bad boy." The mother dragged Iyan into the warehouse and locked her there.

"As punishment."

Iyan could not defend himself. This is his fault. Iyan just lowered his head. He only remembered the first brother's words.

Iyan the boy. Iyan must be strong, not weak and crybaby.

"Iyan is not weak. Iyan is not a cryo." However, his head he bowed down to his knees. His shoulders were shaking indicating he was crying.

The swipe on Iyan's shoulder made Iyan turn her head. Jojo with her sweet smile sat down beside Iyan.

"Can you come in?" Iyan was astonished.

"I can get through anything." A sentence that made Iyan raise both eyebrows.

"You're just my friend, Iyan. All I can see is you." That's what Jojo said.

"meaning?" Iyan still did not understand what Jojo said.

Jojo clasped Iyan's hand. Instantly Iyan's body stiffened and convulsed. Frantically, Rion took his youngest son to the nearest hospital with a constant rage. Especially in his house there was no one.

"Defend Iyan. Hang in."

When Iyan goes into the IGD room. Rion waited for him in confusion.

"Om, please go home now. Iyan is in danger in Om's barn."

Rion was surprised. The meeting that should have continued should have Rion ending quickly. His heart was not calm. Moreover, the voice was very similar to Iyan's voice.

Arriving at home, Rion immediately entered the locked warehouse. He broke down the door and he saw Iyan's body turning blue.

Who was that calling?

"Jajo!" yelled Iyan which shocked Rion.

"You're conscious, son." Rion immediately hugged Iyan's body.

"Jojo, Dad. Jojo," said Iyan.

"Who's Jojo?"

"Temen Iyan the ...."

He saw Jojo covering his mouth with his index finger. His head is also shaking.

"Iyan," call the father.

They were like ordinary humans in Iyan's vision. Only his face was pale. After that incident, Iyan's eyes grew sharper. He can see what no one else can see. That's what makes him feel good at home. All the invisible creatures in the father's house always communicate well with Iyan. Every night they would enter Iyan's room. Talk warm and joke together.

In addition to Jojo there is one friend Iyan who really loves Iyan. Iyan always called it Mother's calling.

"Mom, why do you not want to read the fairy tale Iyan? Though Iyan wants to be like Iyan's friends who are always pampered before going to bed."

When seen by ordinary humans, Iyan was lying on the sofa. However, for Iyan he was lying on the lap of the mother.

"Let me read a fairy tale?" Iyan's face sparkled hearing the words from this white-robed Mother.

Iyan fell asleep in peace making the white-robed mother smile warmly.

"Jo, accompany Iyan on. I'll be guarding this house outside."

Jojo nodded in understanding. The mother had disappeared and was now sitting in a big tree in front of Rion's house.

Iyan's days at the father's house were a lot of fun. Until he found out that he had to move. All of Iyan's friends were sad. Including mother.

"Mother's coming with Iyan, yeah. We're staying at Brother's house." Mom quickly shook her head.

"Mother's house is here, Iyan. I don't want to go anywhere."

"But, Ma'am ...."

"There's Jojo who will always accompany you."

Mom's hand rubbed gently on Iyan's hair. Mother is the substitute figure of the mother. From the mother Iyan can feel sincere affection.

"Iyan, let's go." Radit poked his head at the door.

Seeing Iyan cry, Radit was astonished. He approached Iyan.

"Why are you crying?"

"Mom doesn't want to go with Iyan" she said.

Radit immediately embraced Iyan's body. He gently rubbed the back of his sister.

"Mother? Whose mother? There's no one here."

"They're here, Bang." Radit just understood what Iyan said.

He remembered Iyan's dreams that had always come true. Moreover, Iyan now looks increasingly hit.

"Where's mom now?" Iyan pointed towards the back of Radit. Radit felt a different air. And now he believes.

Radit turned his body around like he was talking to someone else.

"Mom, thank you for taking care of my sister. Thanks for taking care of this house. Thanks for being a friend to Iyan. I can't see Mom, but I feel her presence here. Thanks a lot, Mom."

"Dragon, I'm crying."

"You good boys."

As mother said, Iyan was only accompanied by Jojo. However, when he arrived at the new house many of Iyan's new friends who welcomed him were filled with warmth. Mom comes to visit Iyan sometimes. Make sure Iyan is happy.

"Sister very good Mother. My brother was never angry. Except, Iyan's naughty." He confided to mom.

From a distance the white-robed mother, always paying attention to Echa. Just the engraving of the smile that the white-robed mother showed.

"Good and sincere woman."

When the Echa children were born, the three Echa children already had invisible baby sitters. Hence the three Echa children looked very henchmen and calm.
