The air was so cold that night. There were two little boys sitting at each other on the dark side terrace of the house, with no light at all. Just the rays of streetlights belonging to the houses around the complex that illuminate their great bodily gigilan. The younger brother was about 6 years old. while his older brother about 8 - 9 th .. The body of his brother is very skinny and gigilan body is greater than his brother who was asleep in his embrace. No blankets, no jackets, no food. They just wear short shirts and shorts.
The younger brother suddenly woke up and groaned because his stomach felt sick. Since yesterday they have not eaten. They do not have a penny even if it's just to buy a piece of bread.
"older brother, my stomach hurts ..." groaned the younger brother who would not want to make his brother so confused. He is also very hungry and cold. However, what can they eat ??
"Just sleep, younger brother ... tomorrow morning we can certainly eat" his brother tried to comfort his sister even though his voice increasingly hoarse because of the cold. The younger brother was asleep, but his brother could feel if the sister was sobbing in his arms. The brother knows, his sister's belly must be very hungry, just like himself. He also does not know how long they will continue to survive when things like this always.
Since two days ago, their mother died and they have no home anymore. Their father has long died. They have no relatives for them to serve as a source of life. In the end they are stumbling on the streets with no money and no clothes. They were expelled from the rented house they used to live with their mother. Which little boy can pay ...
The older brother did not feel confident they could get through that cold night. They dare not ask for help from the surrounding community. They were small and too scared to ask for help. Because they know, they will be underestimated, mistakenly beggars who just pretend to beg to support their unemployed parents.
In the morning, when the younger brother awakens, he finds his older brother moaning in pain while clutching his stomach. The younger brother was panic and at first he just can cry. His cries, which then invite the attention of the surrounding community. Most people came to see who was crying so early. Some people immediately approached the two thin bodies and then checked their situation.
Apparently, that day was the last day the brother met. Because after that, they never meet again forever. The elder brother died in the hospital because the wind sickness has been very bad due to the rain overnight plus his empty stomach. The younger brother also treated by one of the residents, he survived.
