“Hey, little boy, what are you doing here?”
Aika looked at the woman who had just greeted with a timid look. A large-bodied woman with slums, curly hair, round eyes and dark brown skin.
“I want to go home to my daddy,” replied Aika while holding back tears.
“Back to your daddy's house? Where does your daddy live?” He looked at the little girl from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. From school uniforms, bags and shoes worn, he believes that this child must be from the upper class. Maybe he was separated from his parents.
“Hey, I asked where is your daddy's house?” ask her once again, when Aika never answered and just cried.
“I don't know. I'm going home to my daddy. I want to go home! Daddy, pick me up, daddy!” Aika's crying is getting worse. He made the woman glance to the right and left to make sure no one saw them.
He could have been accused of evil if anyone saw.
“Sttt! Be quiet! You want to meet your daddy, right?”
In tears, Aika nodded her head.
“Then don't cry! I'll take you to meet your daddy. Quiet, yes!” He sat down next to the little girl and examined her body. A smile was painted on the corner of her lips when she saw a pair of earrings attached to Aika's earlobes.
“Wah, these earrings must be very expensive,” he added inwardly. He can guess the price of the jewelry is worth millions of rupiah.
“What's your name, Son?” tanyanya, soften the sound.
“My name is Aika Sakura.” Aika's voice was heard faltering.
“Are you Japanese?”
Of course, that question was not understood by Aika. The little girl just shook her head in response.
“From your name you're like a Japanese. But .. ah, no, no! You're definitely not Japanese. Your face looks more like a Turkish.” He stroked Aika's head crest. “I'll take you home. But there are conditions. Give me your earrings. Understand?”
Again, Aika replied with a nod of her head. Makes the woman smile big. Then slowly removed a pair of earrings from Aika's earlobe.
“Are you hungry? I have bread in my bag.”
The woman immediately reached into her shabby bag, then she gave Aika a piece of bread. Sure enough, Aika directly devoured a piece of bread that the woman gave her.
“Haus!” great-grandson Aika. He felt his throat dry since then. The bottle of water in the bag is empty.
After letting go of her hunger and thirst, the woman glanced back to her right and left. It was almost dark and the streets they were on were now quite quiet.
“Come, come with me. I'll help find your daddy.”
"Does Auntie know where my daddy is?"
"Of course I know."
"Can Auntie call Daddy to pick me up here?"
"Oh, I don't have a cell phone. But I'll call your daddy soon. Now come on, come with me!"
Aika just obey the woman's wishes. In the hope of getting home to his daddy soon. He was very scared there.
"Then change your clothes first, yeah."
Before bringing Aika along with him, the woman first changed Aika's clothes with shabby clothes and clothes that she stored in her bag.
Then holding Aika's hand left the silent streets.
“Lumayan, this kid can help me to earn money on the road,” he said inwardly.
