“Okay I think it would be better if we separate now!” says Eca’s Daddy.
“Okay, do you think I’m afraid ? we’ll do that tomorrow!!” says Eca’s
mommy.
Eca just stand between her parents. She doesn’t know what to do anymore. This is the 5th time in this week for Eca ti see her parents fighting. She feels not only confused, but also sad.
“stop it mom !! dad !! I hate to see you two fighting everyday ! you two bever think of the negative impact to me, to vino, and to our neighbors, right ? so stop it Mom ! Dad !!” Eca shouted. Now she can’t control her emotion anymore. Both her mom and her father are fighting against one another.
Suddenly tear falls from her eyes. Eca runs as fast as she can. She goes to her room. There, her brother, Vinno, is standing infront of her.
As quickly as possible,Eca hugs Vino. She cries. She can’t stop it. The more she tries, the more painful her heart is. Vino tries to make Eca calm.
“ssst.. Eca, you must be strong dear. Don’t cry ! look I’m not crying, so you must erase your rears, okay ? you don’t want if I dibbed you as a crybaby, right ? smile Eca ! smile ! it looks good on you !” then, Vino holds Eca’s head, wiped her tears, andkissed Eca’s forehead.
Eca surprised to response what her brother do to her. Vino kissed her ! she feels either calm or happy. She fells that it is not just a love between brother and sister, she feels that kiss is not an ordinary kiss. She knows there’s another feeling between two of them. Soon, after Vino kissed her, Eca stops her tears. Now she feels the sun smiles at her in that afternoon.

Now Eca’s parents have been separated. Vino who is still 17 years old must devided his time between study and work. He has a responsibility to give support to Eca dan his mim after his father go out from their house. After his father out from their house, his mom is getting ill. That’s not an easy thing for a 17 y.o. boy to study while working. The same thing also happened to Eca.
One day, returning from school, Eca directly comes to Vino’s room. She wants to get her comic book what che lended to Vino last month. But, suddenly, she finds out her brother, Vino is sprawling on the floor. There’s foam from Vino’s mouth and a lot of medicines scattered everywhere. Vino is overdose. Eca scream as loud as she an. “Vinoooooo~~ !!! ” but, too late…
Her beloved brother has gone. She is not only panicky, but also confused, she tries to find her mom, “Mom ! Mom!!” but her Mom not answered her. Soon, Eca go downstair while crying, she goes to her Mom’s room. But, when she opens her Mom’s room, she finds out that her mom is hanging with a sling on her neck.
Eca can’t do anything right now. She just can cry, cry, and cry. She doesn’t care if everyone want to dubbed her as a crybaby.her brother. Her brother who always wipes her tears, who always makes her stronger, and who always loves her more than everything, now he has gone. And..her mom. Her mom who always cares with her, who makes her better, who always takes care of her when she is sick now, not only her beloved brother, but also her dearest mom has gone. Now, no one will love her more than everything, no one will care with her, no one will make her to be a strong girl anymore.

Eca stands infront of 2 gravesm eca still unbelieve that now the two dearest pople in her life aren’t alive anymore. She doesn’t believe that a brother who has a special place in her heart, left her faster than she think and she doesn’t believe that a strong boy who can give a support to take care of her and their mom is the boy who is proved to be a loser to fight the fate.
“Mom, Vino, i’ll be a strong girl who is neither weak nor whine. I’m not a crybaby anymore. Since now, my name is Nesya not “Eca”. I’m a strong girl not a weak girl. Don’t call me “Eca” anymore. Now, “Eca” is already dead.
***
Since that time, Eca changes her personality 1800. She becomes Nesya not “Eca”. She becomes a tomboy right now, she never cares what people says to her, she becomes a girl who likes smoking, drinking alchol, and always making a clamor, “I’ll fight the fate.”
