In a church owned by the JOHN CALVIN Orphanage in Tangerang, a 3-year-old boy was seen sitting in the corner of the pew in front of the altar of the church. His name is Royce. He is an orphan. 3 years ago when they were going to visit their grandmother's house in Surabaya, the bus that Royce and his parents were traveling on had an accident. Whether due to a miracle, Royce, who was only 1 year old at the time, was the only survivor of the many passengers, including Royce's parents. Royce who still didn't understand anything at that time, had to be forced not to see his parents again until he finally became one of the orphans raised at the JOHN CALVIN Orphanage. In his daily life, Royce is known as an obedient and quiet child.
Crying
Royce was heard sobbing pitifully. His tears flowed until he was gasping for breath. Anyone who witnessed him crying would be deeply moved. How is it possible that a small child who should have enjoyed his childhood playing and being happy, had to face a situation that even adults wouldn't be able to live with? How could a 4 year old child be forced into adulthood by circumstances? Suddenly, from behind the bench where Royce was sitting, someone grabbed his shoulder. That person is Mrs. Bertha, one of the caretakers of the orphanage. Mrs. Bertha loved Royce very much and always gave Royce more attention. Royce is like a biological child to her.
Royce, what's wrong?" asked Mrs. Bertha.
Royce continued to sob uncontrollably and did not answer Mrs. Bertha's question.
"Don't you want to go?" Mrs. Bertha asked again.
Royce nodded. Seeing Royce's nod, Mrs. Bertha got up from the back seat and sat beside Royce and then pulled Royce's head gently and hugged him.
"Dear Royce, do you trust me? Even though you'll be living with a new family, you can still come here to visit me and other friends if you miss us," Mrs. Bertha continued. Apparently, Royce's sadness was because he was about to be adopted by a new family. As a child who is still 4 years old, he may have worries that he will not meet his friends again, especially Mrs. Bertha, whom he considers like his own biological mother.
For almost half an hour, Mrs. Bertha accompanied Royce in the pews with various kinds of words and advices so that Royce would stop his sadness. Mrs. Bertha left Royce alone because she had to make a visits to underprivileged families which was a regular schedule held by the Orphanage. Royce, who was exhausted from crying, finally fell asleep on the pews of the church. And the he was dreaming Dreamed that he was with his parents. Ah, what a very beautiful dream for a child who doesn't even memorize what his parents look like.From the church gate, a shiny black Avanza car was seen entering. Judging from the luxurious appearance of the car, it is certain that the owner is a very wealthy person. Who is the person in the luxury car? Royce's beautiful dream ended. Royce woke up from his sleep because someone pinched his cheek. Royce opened his eyes and saw a neat-looking little boy in an expensive black suit was pinching him. Beside that boy, there's an elegant-looking woman. She is the babysitter. Royce was stunned and kept looking at the little boy in the suit before him.
"Young master, stop pinching him!" said the nanny to the little boy in the suit.
"He will be in pain," she continued.
Regardless of the nanny's words, the little boy kept pinching Royce's cheeks and then said,
"You are very cute. Your hair is even smoother than Lucy's," the little boy said to Royce while playing with Royce's cheeks and hair.
Apparently the little boy pinched Royce's cheek not intending to hurt him, but because he felt that Royce was very cute and funny.
"Lucy's a cat. Young master shouldn't compare him with a cat!" the nanny advised the little boy in the suit because he compared Royce's hair with the cat in his luxurious home.
"My name is Prince. You should call me Young Master!" said the little boy in the suit. So, his name is Prince and because he is the only child of a wealthy family who owns a large company business, people of the company and staffs at home call him young master. Yup! He is the young master, the prospective successor to the company that will be inherited by his father, Mr. Victor. His father is the owner of a well-known brand car company, namely ESSEMKA in Indonesia. Meanwhile, his mother named Mrs. Cecillia. She is a well-known prosecutor in Jakarta, and owns dozens of fashion businesses in the city of Jakarta to the level of Southeast Asia.
"What's your name?" Prince asked Royce.
"My name is Royce," Royce answered slowly.
"I will call you Royce. I will take you and live with me," said Prince.
"From now on you will be mine. You must obey everything I say. Otherwise, I will punish you," he continued.
From Prince's words, it can be confirmed that he has been properly educated as a respected person.
"I will definitely be good to you as long as you obey my orders!"Prince continued to promise Royce. Royce was still silent without a word. Then with hesitation,
"Are you really going to be nice to me?" asked Royce wanting to confirm the truth of what Prince said. Without answering Royce's question, Prince left the church with his nanny and waited in the car. And Mrs. Bertha, who had returned from a visit and had been standing in front of the church door for a long time and even listened to the conversation of those two boys, came to pick up Royce to get ready to say goodbye to the other orphanage friends.
The beautiful time for three years at the orphanage with his friends must now come to an end. It's time for him to leave the old building that he already considers as his home and live with a new family. With a heavy heart and tears that never stopped flowing, Royce hugged his friends one by one. And the last, of course, Mrs. Bertha.
"Be good there, dear. Don't be naughty! Always obey your new parents and your new siblings. Remember, if you miss us, don't hesitate to come. We will always welcome you, dear," said Mrs. Bertha advising Royce while wiping her cheeks tears filled with tears.
Of all the residents of the orphanage, it is certain that Mrs. Bertha is the one who loved Royce the most. Then Mrs. Bertha led Royce to Prince's luxury car. There, the nanny and the driver stood welcoming Royce while Prince was already in the car. Royce got into the car and slowly the car walked out of the orphanage where he had lived for 3 years. With tears in his eyes, Royce waved his hand to his friends who were standing in front of the orphanage. It means that they really need to separate. Prince who witnessed this remained indifferent and did not seem to care. Prince, who was raised by his wealthy parents, will never understand Royce's situation and Royce's relationship with the residents of the orphanage.
4 hours have passed. The luxury car finally arrived at a luxurious 3-story house. What a very large magnificent building! In the backyard of the luxury house, there is a large field the size of a golf course. The driver got down and opened the car door and Young Master Prince and Royce got off. Seeing the scene in front of him, Royce felt utter amazement. This was the first time he had seen a gigantic building as beautiful as this. Then Royce walked following the young master Prince from behind. Apparently, young master Prince's parents had just left for Japan due to sudden business matters so they couldn't welcome young master Prince and their new adopted son, Royce. In the living room of the luxurious house that will be his new residence, Royce is amazed to see and observe every detail of the house. Spacious room, large TV and various kinds of car collections that look neatly parked in a special room next to the living room. What an amazing sight! Royce was so stunned. It was the first time in his life to see such an extraordinary thing. In an instant, her sad feelings from leaving the orphanage she had lived in for a long time disappeared. Royce continues and continues to drift in that new feeling.
"This is your new home. From now on, I allow you to live here," said the young master Prince suddenly to Royce who was still in awe of the house.
"Re... really?? Is it true that I can stay here?" asked Royce who still couldn't believe that he would live in that luxurious house.
"Hmm!" replied young master Prince briefly with a reassuring nod Royce.
"Now come with me!" continued young master Prince took Royce up the stairs to the top floor. After entering into the room, young master Prince then said
"This is my room. You will sleep here with me and you can also borrow my toys," he explained to Royce and pointing to his large collection of toys in the glass cupboard. Royce seemed to smile happily. This is a very beautiful day for him!
That's how the days went on. and Royce live their daily lives there with the residents of the luxury house. And young master Prince kept his promise to treat Royce well even though sometimes he made Royce cry. They always play together and really get along. Royce, who is only 1 year younger than young master Prince, sometimes looks tired of serving young master Prince who he now considers as his older brother.
However, behind the familiarity of the two boys, there is a pair of eyes that are watching and monitoring their movements at all times. You can see the look in his eyes showing anxiety and worry. There was something stuck in his mind.
