Capítulo 1: Little Princess
It was raining hard. Ella was hugging her teddy bear tightly.
A plate of french fries had been served in front of her, becoming her silent dinner companion.
"Ella, hurry and finish your potatoes!" Laras said.
Ella watched her mother's face with an annoyed face. She didn't like her mother, who was bluffing and stopping her, who was busy playing with a teddy bear.
"I'm not hungry." Reject Ella.
Laras shows an angry face. "You know, Ella! I don't like it when you refute my words." Said Laras and gives other advice. While Ella, the six-year-old girl, in the end, obeyed her mother's orders.
"Mommy, who are we waiting for?" Ella asked, starting to take and eat the french fries.
Laras did not answer her daughter's question because her hands were busy checking a shabby brown wallet.
Laras looks sad because her money is running out. While she must survive together with her little daughter.
Ella became upset because Laras did not answer her question. And Ella decided to play with her teddy bear. Occasionally, Ella's gaze stared at the many people who entered the small restaurant.
The restaurant is small and not fancy. It even seems seedy and dirty. Suddenly, a big man with brown hair approached Ella and her mother. The man was wearing a buttoned green shirt, with a white shirt as the inside.
The man's hair was long, pigtailed, and looked a little bit messy. The man has a thick mustache and is allowed to continue growing.
"Are you Laras?" Asked the man. Laras looked at the man and gave a smile that she forced.
Ella looked alternately at her mother and the stranger who stood before her. "Can we do it now?" Asked the man in a flat voice. His wild eyes stared fiercely at Laras.
"Yes, of course. Wait a minute." Said Laras while taking a contraceptive safety device from her bag.
Of course. Ella, who was a little girl, didn't know anything. Especially what is taken and what will be done by her mother.
"Ella, please wait here. I have a business for a moment! Can you promise me that you won't go anywhere? And will stay here?" Laras again gave the order.
"Where are you going, mom? Will you be gone for long? I'm scared..." Ella asked innocently.
"Just a moment, I promise ... it will be just a moment." Laras tried to convince.
"If you haven't finished yet, and I still have to wait for a long time. Can I be with just another woman?" The man already looked annoyed waiting.
Then Laras touched the face of her little princess with a sad look, after which she left with the strange man.
Ella looked at her mother, who had disappeared from behind the door. She doesn't know where the mother and that guy had gone?
Ella looked back at the teddy bear and said ... "Hey Teddy, let's play again." Ella said innocently and resumed playing with her doll.
Laras had to leave her little daughter temporarily because she had to satisfy a man. To earn money and survive, together with her daughter.
Soon, Laras finally came out from a small room, hot room, and made her difficult to breathe. Laras smoothed her hair and clothes that became tangled, then walked to the dining table, where her little princess was there.
Laras was surprised and thought her little daughter had left her desk, but it turns out Ella was only sleeping in a chair while hugging her teddy bear.
Laras smiled looking at her little princess, immediately she saved the money, which had just been received into her wallet.

Finally, Laras found a cheap hostel, where they lived for several days. At least they don't need to queue in an old building, which is provided by the local government for the homeless.
A small room, with a bathroom with only a small amount of water. Not much furniture in the room. Only a small bed, but enough for both of them. Ella was still fast asleep hugged her teddy bear.
Laras closed the Cinderella fairy tale book she had just finished reading, a classic tale that Ella liked very much. A handsome prince who loves an ordinary girl who is kind.
Laras eyes have started to read and runny, and soon her tears began to come out. She held back her tears so as not to wake her daughter.
Laras wiped her tears quickly and covered Ella with a thin blanket. Laras playing with her daughter's hair increasingly hugged Ella tightly.
That night was very cold. Laras couldn't cover her body because the blanket she had was too thin and small. Only able to cover Ella's tiny body.
Laras curled up and still hugged her little daughter, tears still flowing.
A painful sadness, which she had kept quiet, and she hid in front of her little daughter.
