The Longest Night
In the dark corner of the narrow pavement… soiled, tattered clothes and bare-footed, a small child, shivering from the coldness of the harsh winter night was to be found. Hugging his knees trying to keep himself warm and folded in such a fatal position as if to hide himself from the world… a noise… a whimper coming from the small, chapped lips and grumbled of the small one's stomach… he hadn't eaten for days now… three days to be exact.
An orphan since birth, he and his twin sister was left to the care of their widow aunt but she also just passed away last week and they were left again to the care of each other. But three days ago, strangers out of nowhere suddenly broke down into their home saying they will take them in an orphanage. They were just fine with the idea until he was separated from his sister… he struggled to break free... to follow his sister but they were already gone. Now they were trying to find him and take him further away from his precious twin… he will not allow that so he ran… he ran as fast as he could as far as he could get away, to hide and find his twin sister.
But it has been three days… three days without food to fill his empty little stomach, without shelter for the cold dark night, without proper clothes and shoes and without his precious sister to take away his fears and doubts… he was all alone in this dark, cold alley… waiting for the death to take him if he was not found first by those evil strangers that took away his only reason to survive.
He was so hungry and cold and afraid… He wondered how his sister's doing…. Is she also hungry? Was she afraid as well? Cold? Does anyone there to take care of her? She's such a precious tender thing… she must be crying and looking for him as well…
"Please dear Kami…if you're still hearing my prayers…. Please don't let me die yet…"
His sister needs him he cannot die yet… and besides his friend back home… his little red-haired friend whose been so kind to him… he promise he will be back…
"Will I ever see you again?"
"Saa… I will be back, ne? Till then, take care of your self and your mother well…"
"H-hai… Take care of yourself and your sister as well then… ja"
"ja"
As he lost to his memories and consciousness, he was unable to fight back the big man who have found him in the shadow and carried him away… far away from his sister and his friend…
"Please dear Kami…if you're still hearing my prayers…. Please don't let me die yet…"
Not just yet….
