"Mother I'm hungry!" exclaimed a little girl of about five years old while crying sobbing on her bed. The one made from a pile of some used cardboard in a shantytown on the outskirts of the capital.
The little boy had a very dirty face. With long hair curls and looks tangled because it is rarely combed.
"Mother....Mum....!" the little boy shouted to his mother.
As soon as he woke up from his sleep, he did not find his mother and father at home.
The little girl then got out of bed and walked in limp steps toward the door.
When he opened the door. The door was locked from the outside.
"Mother..mom where? I'm hungry ma'am." groaned the little boy again.
Karen was in a sick body condition at the time. Make the little boy sit on the floor again. Because he felt his body was very weak.
Not long after, a couple returned to their slum house with a black crackle bag in which there was food they had just bought.
"Vale, why are you son!" exclaim the mother to her daughter.
When he found the child appeared to sleep limp on the floor of their house with a high hot body condition.
"Why Ma'am?" ask the husband to worry.
"Vale has a high fever again. I was worried about her pain that was not healing. We must take him to the doctor." exclaimed the mother with a face full of deep worry. Seeing her little princess seemed increasingly limp and helpless.
"My mother is hungry." cried the little girl named Valerie Florencia.
"Sit down son, mom and dad just came home from looking for used goods. Mom bought you food. Come sit down and eat. Mother bribe yes son." said the woman who seemed so fond of her little daughter.
The woman then took a packet of rice that she had bought. Then he opened it and then he fed his little girl.
"Eat a lot of Vale. After this, I'll take you to the doctor. Don't be sick son, I'm sad if you're sick." said the woman with a grateful face while feeding Vale.
"I'm sorry Valerie's mom and dad. It's made you hard like this. Until we can't get you treatment because we don't have any money. I'm sorry, dear. I pray for you, someday you will be a successful person and will not feel hard life like this dear. Mom and Dad are not lazy to work. Every day we work for you and for us. Patience dear, mother and father promised to try to make you feel a better life again and more comfortable. I also pray, if you become a mother. You will definitely be a strong mother that your child will love. Your fate will be much better than it is now, son. I'm sure of that." said the woman inwardly. Who still feeds his child to eat.
"That's enough Mom. I'm full, my mouth feels hooked." Valerie said.
Vale then sleeps again on the floor of his house which is only covered with used carpets.
"Take Vale in Uncle's house. We need to get him to a doctor as soon as possible. Because we don't have money right now. We're leaving again to find used goods, so we can take Vale to the doctor." said the husband.
After filling the stomach that morning. With her father in her cradle and also accompanied by her mother, Vale was entrusted at the house of the understand so that Vale would take care of her.

Valerie POV
With my breath still burning, I woke up from my sleep that night.
I screamed and called my father and mother's names.
Every time I miss them. The dream came to say hello.
A dream that repeats itself when I start to miss them. The one at that moment just left without a message and impression on me for the last time.
I miss you mom, I miss you dad.
It's been almost 21 years since I separated forever from my parents. A painful separation that is still felt today.
I still wasn't willing when those who loved me so much had to leave forever.
They haven't seen me recover from my illness. They didn't say any farewell words.
My mother and father's sudden departure. It's like it makes me feel. If mom and dad just go somewhere and soon they'll be back.

"Mother, Valerie's life is not hard anymore. I have lived independently. Valerie has become a mother now. My son's name is Elenor. She's very pretty, smart and a little shy. I'm sorry Valerie rarely visits mom and dad's graves. May you have a glorious place by the Lord's side. I just wanted to tell you. That my life with my daughter is so much better than our life. I didn't feel like I was suffering when life was hard with my mom and dad. But Vale suffered when Vale lost you. Your presence means so much to Vale. After your selfless departure to Vale first. Every second, minute and day Vale used to wish there was a miracle that could bring father and mother to stand before me. But it's impossible. My uncle and aunt took good care of me. Once I can live independently. I no longer live in Uncle and Bibik's house. I'm fighting and excited like you guys used to be. Now that I'm better, I don't live short of it anymore. Rest in peace, Mother, father. Valerie loves you guys."
My heart was relieved when I was able to visit my parents' meal.
After the tomb, I am now preparing to go to the office.
Because the time is getting late and the condition of the road has now been jammed.
I finally decided to go to the office using an online motorcycle taxi. For the sake of shortening the time and also to be able to break through the bottleneck.
Through the application service, I also ordered an ojek online.
And not long after, my online order came. And I immediately went up on the motorcycle driver ojek.
I told the driver to drive the bike a little faster. So that I can also quickly get to the office. Because there is an important meeting at the office before lunch.
But, suddenly, something happened. The driver seemed to have lost control. And ....brukkkk.
Suddenly everything went dark.
"Elle." I cried.
And the shadow of Elenor's face filled my mind. After that, I no longer know what happened.
Yuk ma would-be escort Vale.
