Nara smiled broadly at her friends who wanted to get home soon. They have been playing all day until the time was not realized by them if it was before the Maghrib. It just so happens that their parents have each picked them up at Nara's house.
"Nara we're going home first. Don't miss us!" joking friends who make Nara laugh softly with them.
There was an insincere look in the child's eyes when he saw that his friends had been picked up by their parents. Nara felt that again her house would be deserted. She has no more playmates and Nara stays in the room with her dolls.
Her parents continued to work and Nara single-handedly stayed at home with her maid. Nara was eager to gather with them. But he realized that his parents would not be able to do that because they were always preoccupied with their respective work.
"Nara!" Nara turned around and looked at her father and mother who were coming home together.
It was like a dream to see them here. Nara quickly approached them and scattered in the arms of her parents.
"Father! Mama!!" nara shouted and kissed their cheeks. This was the most beautiful surprise for him. He did not know they were going home.
Nara's eyes glazed over because she was so happy to see them here. As if God had heard his request.
"Nara! You okay at home?" asked the mother while rubbing Nara's head lovingly.
Nara shook her head weakly making a frown on the couple's face. They looked at each other with worried looks.
"Say what's wrong?" ask his father who started to ride black because he thought that someone had hurt his favorite daughter.
"Nara is not okay because Nara always misses your return. Can't you stay home with me?" asked Nara with hopeful eyes.
The couple kept silent when they heard the plea coming out of the child's mouth. They were eager to do what Nara expected, but again they had to swallow disappointment when the many tasks were waiting in line so they did not have time to rest and play with their beloved children.
"Nara! When you grow up you will understand the harshness of life. We have to persevere and keep working to keep having good financial conditions and live a good life."
Nara was disappointed with the answer. Her tears were spilled but she held it as much as she could. Nara wiped away the tears that had soaked her cheeks.
The boy smiled bitterly as if nothing had happened. "Ma! Pa! Forgive my request."
"Papa's son! You have the right to ask for that. Don't be sad we'll both be trying to give our free time to you."
Nara smiled widely and nodded. He put his little finger in front of his parents as if he was making an appointment with them.
"Promise?"
The mother and father laughed and they both frowned at the little pinky of Nara.
"Mommy's baby boy. Mama and Papa don't care about you. But this is the wish of time. If we could we'd take our time for you. Whatever for the sake of this beautiful Nara we will surely fulfill. Isn't it Pa?"
"What Mama said was true dear."
"Yey!!"
"Now we eat. Papa bring Nara's favorite food."
"I'm happy we're eating."
Nara was very happy to see her favorite food in the hands of her father.
They also both headed to the kitchen and sat with enthusiasm in front of the table waiting for the food to be served by the mother.
"What is your job?" nara asked seriously.
The father was silent for a few seconds before answering his son's question.
"You want to know what Dad's doing? It was great that you would know and understand."
Nara pursed her lips. Why his father and mother never wanted to tell him about their work. Nara always wondered what kind of work made them not want to go home.
"Hm all right."
"The food is ready!!"
The mother came to bring the food to the table.
"Yey!!" Nara clapped her hands happily. "We're eating."
His father laughed at the happy reaction of the princess. They also rubbed Nara's head lovingly.

Nara blinked her eyes a few times. He slowly opened his little eyes and rubbed them.
"Mama! Papa! Nara wants to pee."
Nara rubbed the bed next to her which was empty. He sat down and looked for those who were not in the room.
"Mama! Papa! Where are you guys?" nara asked to cry.
Prangs!!
Nah!!
Prangs!!
Dorian
The voices frightened Nara. He hugged his doll in his arms with a trembling body.
"What's really going on?" ask Nara to herself. "What happened outside? Why so much noise?"
Nara also ventured to get out of the room and walked quietly to see the situation outside which was full of commotion. There was a sound of dings and there was also a shot.
Tears are no longer lost. Throw it away until Nara feels if her nose is blocked.
As she climbed down the stairs, Nara could see that her parents were being held captive with several people dressed in black and masks trying to break into their house.
Nara surprised. He took a step back. The child clearly saw how his blood-filled parents were in front of him. They endure the pain and Nara feels deeply traumatized to see a sight she has never seen in her entire life.
The mother saw Nara sitting on the stairs.
"Nara!! Get the fuck out of here! Go fast!!"
Nara tightened her embrace at the doll she always carried. The child tries to remain calm and will not leave his parents in such a condition.
"Nara listen to Papa! Get out of here."
Deg
Nara looked at the person sitting on the sofa with her smiling lips tilted as well as her sharp and deadly gaze.
Meanwhile the gun in his hand was pointing right at his parents.
Nara also saw the pleading gaze of her parents so she was forced to run away and leave them.
Dorian
Nara wanted to look back when she heard the gunshots and was accompanied by the screams of her parents. But there was a whisper that made Nara decide not to look back.
He cried loudly and tried to find a hiding place. He went into a closet and closed his eyes while hugging his doll firmly.
The voice he had just heard had already explained to Nara that they were no longer in the world to accompany Nara growing up. Nara endured the agony by holding her beloved doll.
"Mama! Papa! Hiks, you did not keep your promise" Nara said, holding back tears.
Nara wishes there was help God sent for her so she could get out of here.
Crick
Nara's chest trembled and he gave a swing to hit the person who opened the closet door where he was hiding.
Nara looked at the smiling person towards her. The man was his father's personal assistant and bodyguard.
"Uncle!"
"Nara! Quickly out!"
"You're gonna save me?" nara asked with a big smile.
"You're right. I'm gonna save you. Hurry out."
Nara nodded then came out of hiding.
"Uncle. My father."
"I know I'll try to save them."
He carried Nara's body. Nara did not even care anymore about the bodyguard of the father who was full of blood spots.
