BLACK AND WHITE

BLACK AND WHITE

Kartika gasped when she heard the yelling of someone. So also with Euis and Neneng. They immediately release the hug and stared at the girl standing in front of the door of their room.

"You guys don't know yourself yeah! Newcome has made a fuss. If daylight, hours of his rest! We've first in the house of Mami Sania you work in an office! This type of work our rich, don't be a yes because yesterday-yesterday you can dignitaries and boss rich you want to be arrogant!"

"Excuse me, Sist. We do not intend to create you not comfortable. I'm sorry if our voices disturb you," said Euis.

The girl pout and looked at Suzanna with sharp. "Said the second friend you, yes, especially wearing a blue shirt," he said as he pointed to the direction of Kartika. "Don't be beautiful here!"Once satisfied to express their emotion, the girl immediately left the three of them. Euis immediately got up and shut the door quickly. He did not want the girl back again because they feel disturbed.

"Our voice is too loud maybe yes, tea?"Kartika said with a face a little pale. Euis menggedikkan his shoulder. "Not really, it's just maybe he's not in the mood. Huh, never mind the better we sleep. Last we just sleep right, time Mommy woke and told us to move."

Kartika and Neneng nodded and obeyed Euis. Between the three of them indeed Euis who was most parents. Meanwhile, Kartika was the youngest. They were rushed to clean up the rest of their stuff and put it in the closet then, they lock the door and turn the lights off then slept. For them, life goes upside down. Night into day, day into night. Their rooms at night and sleep during the day.

In the afternoon they woke up because he heard the door of the room is tapped. Neneng immediately opened the door and Marini seemed to smile while carrying a package containing rice.

"I buy these at a food stall in front of there. You must be hungry right? Eat first, yes. Out of this, you can be rest again or bathe. Later that kinda night turns bathroom. Better now then," said Marini.

"Sist, last time you sleep what sound we bother?" ask Kartika. Marini smiled, "No, really. Listen to the hell faintly you talk like that. But, not noisy. Why? There that get mad at you again?" ask Marini.

. The three of them shook his head in unison. "Well, that's just not there. Yeah, guys want to take a shower first, okay, you guys I spend food. Now it's 4 in the afternoon. Time will not feel not out already night."

Marini was leaving the three of them.

Kartika, Neneng, and Euis who indeed feel hungry instantly unwrap the food administration, Marini. The contents of the rice, sauce, and saute the chicken intestine and Tempe orek. What a coincidence it is a favorite food of Kartika. He ate with gusto.

"You're like yes, intestines chicken stir fry spicy so?" ask Neneng. Kartika nodded, "like Father, like Mother rarely have much money to cook delicious. If you eat chicken or meat most eid al-Fitr. Day-to-day yes most tempe and tofu, kale, fresh vegetables, a most luxury that yes the chicken intestine like this. Usually, I like the steam continues in the fry eat the chili sauce. But, yes cooked like this is also already in the room. Do you not like it?"

"Not really, Kar. We prefer to eat liver gizzard rather than the intestine like this," replied Andrea.

"But, if longer hungry yeah what is it good, too, anyway," replied Neneng.

. Kartika just a little laugh to hear the speech of Neneng. After they finished eating, they instantly bath follow the greeting Marini. Although how they are self-conscious that their presence is still new not to cause a commotion or riot. What happened during the course it is still vivid in their memories.

Not like Euis and Neneng who like to wear make-up, Kartika choose to wear make-up pickup only. He indeed could not wear make-up excessive. But, it was there that the allure of Kartika. Kartika already has a pretty face. He has a pair of eyes that are round, the nose aquiline, the lips are small and natural red. Plus, her hair is straight and thick, and black, suitable to be a model of advertising shampoo.

Mami Sundari goes to their proper 8 hours a night. "You're coming with me," he said. The trio was immediately obedient and follow Mami Sundari.

"You already have an ID card?" he asked. Neneng and Euis nodded and showed them to me.

"You?" he asked in Kartika. Kartika shook his head.

"I don't have, Mami."

"Why can't you have? How the hell old are you?" ask Sundari.

"16 years, Mami."

Sundari heaved a long sigh. The gaze of Sundari, who had a sharp, somehow perceived by Kartika be shady.

"Euis, uh Erika and Nessa, you guys used to be Marini yes. He's out, I want to talk briefly with Kartika."

Kartika little wonder, Sundari called him by his real name.

"How did you get up to the house of Mami Sania?" she asked gently. Kartika ventured to lift his face and stared at Sundari.

"Sa-I...I was sold by my Mother to Mrs. Sania, Mrs,"

Sundari heals his breath harshly. He shook his head, then slowly he rubbed the head of Kartika. "Stepmother?"

"My biological mother, Mami."

"Astagfirullah..."

Although a Mami is in a place that is not good, Sundari is a good woman. No one knows that Sundari never is separated from the salat fardhu 5 times by his faith. Just to get away from this place Sundari does not have the courage. Not a matter of sustenance, not at all. Sundari believes that God will set his sustenance. Only, he's not ready to return to the environment of ordinary people. He was not yet ready if you hear the words slur as a slut or a former butterfly of the night.

"You were young once, Kartika. Are you still in school?"

"Still Mami, I'm still in high SCHOOL. I don't know if I will sell myself that day. Mother just dragged me to go with him and then I left at home Mommy Sania."

Sundari embraced Kartika with warmth, making the young girl was a little surprised. Treatment Sania and Sundari are very much different. Sania is more fierce and very cynical, while Sundari is so soft. This certainly makes Kartika confused.

"If my son is still alive, he's of age, Kartika. No need to wear the name Karla yeah, just continue to be Kartika. May I ask you something?"

"Wh-what, Mami?"

"If in front of the other children, you can still call me Mami. But, if only we both call me Mom. Do you want to?"
