TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
223

Zero began to roar, opening his eyes slowly looking at the people who were surrounding him. Among the people who were there, Zero only knew Sindi, the little girl who had upset me the other day.

"Little boy, you're finally dead."

"Don't move too much, your body's still hurting." Someone held Zero back from standing up.

"Where is Miwa? Who is this kid? Too bad, why is this kid in his house?"

Some people were talking about Zero. They don't know who Zero is and why Miwa's house is on fire. Of the few people it was instead proposed to Zero to quickly get under to the hospital.

"The hospital is too far from here. Better just take it to my house, "steam Sindi.

"Right, what Miss Sindi said. Better, this kid's down to our house. Coincidentally Madam Sinta is a former nurse, Madam will definitely not refuse to treat Zero," the maid added.

"All right, we're picking up this kid fast. The air here is not very good for his breathing."

Zero was still not well aware, he actually wanted to refuse when the people in that place suddenly clutched his body. But because his power had not recovered, making Zero helpless.

"Put it down on the sofa," said the waiter pointing to the living room sofa, after arriving inside Sindi's house.

Some of the people who were carrying Zero threw the boy onto a sofa. Zero could not dwell, he still resignedly let his body lie down.

"Nona Sindi is very good, hopefully this child can recover quickly and immediately picked up Miwa. Lucky Miss immediately helped you," the men said before leaving. Zero still could not think what the meaning of their words was.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt," Zero said.

Everyone started to leave Sindi's house, letting the boy lie on the sofa accompanied by the waiter. While Sindi herself goes straight inside looking for her mother.

"Where am I, Auntie?" ask Zero to the waiter.

"You are at the house of young Miss Sindi. Don't be afraid, we'll help heal your wounds" the maid told Zero.

"Thank you, Auntie helped me. But I better go home. I don't want to trouble the Sindi family" Zero said of waking up.

But the waiter restrained Zero's body. "You haven't healed completely. After all, it is not only me who is helping you, but also Miss Sindi. If it wasn't for the young lady who found you and gave you an artificial breath. Maybe your life was already beyond help" said the waiter.

Zero held onto his head which was still dizzy. He doesn't remember how he got out. All he remembered was rolling on the floor during the fire.

"So Sindi helped me?" ask Zero.

The waiter nodded. He then tells the chronology from start to finish until Sindi can save Zero. The servant also said that Sindi did not want to make the second mistake of letting people's lives be threatened when Zero wanted to be bitten by his dog yesterday.

So I owe that child a debt of gratitude, inner Zero.

"Mother, look. This child is what I told you from yesterday," said Sindi pulling her mother's hand, walking out from the inside to meet Zero who was lying on the sofa.

"Include her name Zero" Sindi said innocently.

Sindi's mother approached Zero, looking intently at the child's appearance. He finally smiled and realized why Sindi insisted on helping the child. While Zero himself looks awkward to see in such a way as if his mother Sindi.

"Sorry to trouble Auntie. I'd better just go home" Zero said again.

"Don't go yet! You're hurting, let me treat your wounds first. Introduce my name Sinta. You're so handsome, what's your name?" tanya Sinta held Zero's body.

Inevitably Zero finally relented. "My name is Zero, Aunt."

"Servant please get me the medicine box inside, I'll heal the child's wound" he said, telling his servant to take the medicine box.

They also get acquainted. Usually Zero would reject the kindness of others for fear of being troublesome. But because of the gentleness Sinta gave when persuading her, Zero let the woman heal her wound.

"Good boy, tell me if I'm sick," said Sinta. His hands deftly cleaned the scratches on Zero's hands.

And vice versa, Sinta also really likes Zero's polite attitude. "You're great at saving yourself. I'm an adult myself, I can't get out if I'm trapped in a fire."

"Thank you Auntie, sorry for bothering you" Zero said.

"It's okay I'm so happy to do it. Oh yes, I have heard your courage from Sindi. Besides being brave, it seems like you are also very smart. Will you be my son's friend? Sindi rarely asks others to be her friends" Sinta said after she finished treating Zero's wounds. "Well done too, just wait until this wound is dry."

As a thank you, Zero nodded. There is no reason to refuse to be friends with Sindi even though Zero is very reluctant to be friends with women.

Sindi who had not dared to come closer, finally ventured to approach Zero and again apologized to him again.

"I've forgotten what happened yesterday. So don't apologize anymore" Zero smiled.

"So you want to be my friend?"

Zero nodded. "Then we are friends now" said Sindi showing her pinky.

Sindi then explained, their official sign of friends is to link their pinky fingers together.

Zero obeyed and followed Sindi's orders. "Well, we're friends."

You guys are really very funny, Sinta's mind is so anxious to see the behavior of the two.

"Look, I have a lot of toys for boys, I really like to play with these cars. Do you like it too? If you want, you can borrow it," said Sindi, taking out a lot of toys in front of Zero when she recovered and was able to sit normally.

Zero was flabbergasted to see those expensive toys. All his life this time he saw it. At first he hesitated to play, but after Sindi showed the greatness of her car, she joined and went down to the floor to play with Sindi.

"It turns out you're really great. I think women can only play dolls," Zero said, "let's go up, I'll push her from behind."

Zero forgets his pain and plays with Sindi at his house. While Sinta and the service just monitor it from afar.

A few hours passed, Zero was already getting familiar with Sindi and her mother. At dinner time, they also invited Zero to eat together.

Zero sat dumbstruck while continuing to look at the food presented at the table. The food looks very delicious and appetizing, even many times Zero to gulp his saliva because so drooling.

Suddenly Zero lowered her head, her hand she lowered under the table. Of course Zero did not dare to take much less to eat it for free.

Sindi and her mother look at each other, she doesn't understand why Zero is suddenly moody. At that time Sinta's mother immediately approached Zero. "Why are you suddenly moody? Don't you like the food here?" ask Sinta.

Zero shook his head slowly. He still looked down not daring to look at the food again. Because the more he looked, the more willing he was to eat that food.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. But I can't eat food from other people for free. I haven't worked at Auntie's house yet" Zero said with her song.

Sinta took a deep breath. Just this time there was a boy who made it as effective as Zero. Besides being smart and brave, Zero also has principles at such a small age. Sinta could imagine how unfortunate the fate of the child was.

"Did your parents always tell you to work?" ask Sinta.

Zero nodded. He also told me that he had a lot of foster parents. Zero tells a lot, if he often bergonta people tau and must work first before getting food.

From Zero's story, Sinta assumes that Zero is a very poor orphan. Sinta also held onto Zero's rough hands, thinking that Zero had already suffered so much from being told to work by her foster parents.

"The Miwa family is really outrageous to have a child this small cook themselves even work. Zero, you can eat the food here to the fullest without having to work. Think of this food as a gift from your aunt, because you have accompanied Sindi to play earlier," said Sinta again.

"So my job is to accompany aunt's children to play?" ask Zero innocently.

Sinta nodded back, "Well, just think so. Let's eat together before the food gets cold. And one more thing, aunt has accepted you to work in this house. Stay here to accompany Sindi to play. Besides Sindi has no brother to protect her while playing with children out there," Sinta pleaded. He brought his face closer with a smile.

"Heum .. am I assigned as Sindi's personal bodyguard?" ask Zero again.

Sindi and her mother laughed at the same time. Although it sounded ridiculous, the two of them finally nodded.

That night for the first time, Zero ate a very delicious and nutritious meal. The three of them ate together while occasionally joking.

When they were eating together, the waiter suddenly told her that Bu Han was in front of the house to pick up Zero.

"Madam, Zero's foster parents want to see you. They're waiting outside."

...***...

Elsewhere in front of Miwa's house, Mr. Han and his wife have returned from gambling. They were shocked when they saw Miwa's house that had been flattened by the fire. At that moment, Bu Han directly contacted Miwa. Unfortunately, the phone is not connected. Bu Han directly asked a few neighbors asking what happened when they left.

"So you're the kid's parent?" ask a neighbor.

Bu Han nodded, explaining that he was Miwa's sister from the city. "Why the house of Miwa? Where's my son?" bu Han asked as if she was very sad to lose Zero.

Neighbors immediately explained that Zero was with the Sindi family. The neighbor also scolded Bu Han for letting the nearly six-year-old at home alone and leaving him hungry to cook for himself.

"Forgive us, at that time we had to leave it to Miwa because there was a very urgent need. Miwa shouldn't have left and not let our son be left alone. Miwa was also wrong, forgive us all," Bu Han said lowered his head.

Ms. Han sobbed so that her neighbor piba and told her where Sindi's home address was. The two husband and wife were convinced that Zero they saved.

"Your children have been secured by Sinta's family. The young miss had saved the child and brought him to her home to be treated," the neighbor told him.

Pak and Bu Han were very grateful to the family, they also gave a hand as a thank you to the neighbors. After a few minutes, the two then say goodbye to meet Zero at Sindi's house.

Right in front of the alley. Bu Han sees Yuze getting out of the car with his personal bodyguard.

"Who are they? Why is that man standing in front of Miwa's house?" tanya Bu Han pulled her husband over, she saw Yuze standing in front of her car while watching Miwa's house.

"Don't let him be the boy's real family. Look, the man's appearance and car are very luxurious. From the shoes he used alone branded, it seemed like he was very rich," said Mr. Han.

Before going to Sindi's house, the couple noticed Yuze from afar. They noticed Yuze's suspicious behavior. Yuze also looked to his right and left as if looking for someone to ask for information.

"He's a rich man, meaning Zero's identity is not an indiscriminate child. It is only fitting that Sembo hid it to us and was willing to give a lot of money to take care of it. I'm sure Sembo must have blackmailed them, if he could, why don't we do it, too" said Ms. Han.

"You mean, what's my wife?" ask Mr. Han not understand.

"Stupid! We have to quickly take Zero den to hide it again before they give him the ransom. Look, it looks like he's digging up information to a neighbor. We have to move before he takes Zero in Sinta's house first" said Bu Han.

Mr. Han nodded, he could only obey and follow his wife's will. When Yuze was talking to one of the neighbors, they immediately ran towards Sindi's house.

...***...

After striking the bell of Sindi's house repeatedly, the servant in the house opened the gate. Bu Han was not stale and immediately asked Zero whereabouts.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the Madam inside," said the waiter then walked inside.

Not long after, the waiter came back with Sinta to meet Pak and Bu Han who were sitting on the terrace.

"You who?" ask Sinta.

Sir and Bu Han immediately bowed respectfully. He immediately introduced himself to who he really was. "Include my name Han, just call Mr. Han. We are Zero's foster parents. We came here to pick up Zero. We are very grateful that you have helped our son," Mr. Han said. They dare not shake hands because they know their hands are dirty, do not deserve to shake hands with rich people like Sinta.

"So you're Zero's abusive foster parents. How dare you come here, after letting Zero almost die from the fire," said Sinta with a tone of emotion.

Right then, Bu Han returned to the show crying while kneeling feeling guilty in front of Sinta. They are willing to do anything as long as Zero is quickly returned.

"Follow me in" said Sinta. The two husband and wife also walked directly behind Sinta.

As soon as she reached the dining table, Bu Han immediately hugged and cried as much as Zero's body could. His words are so great, as if he misses the boy so much.

"Hiks, I'm sorry Zero left you. Let's go home. I'll cook you a delicious meal. Look at me bringing a hand for you," said Bu Han pleading with Zero to show him some eggs.

Zero did not react. He just looks amused by their strange behavior. Sindi did not like them, she also intended to expel the two.

"Sorry, Zero will stay at our house. So you better just go. After all, the food here is more secure and nutritious," Sindi said, "mom don't let them take Zero home" she added pleading with Sinta.
