Your silence is killing me
EP.1 Prolig: Lyra Cornelia

One night, a foreign man is seen carrying a medium-sized cardboard box to an orphanage foundation. By paying attention to the situation, the man slowly went inside when he made sure there was no one. At that time, the foundation was still not as advanced as it is now and there was no such thing as a surveillance camera or cctv. No one knew that the man had left the cardboard at the door.

The night is getting late and the air outside is getting colder. There was the sound of crying of a baby boy who broke the silence. Some foundation officials went out to check the nursery if any babies were awake, but unfortunately no babies were awake. And the sound was pointing at the outside area right in front of the entrance.

A woman in her 30s who works at the orphanage also heads to the source of the voice. He opened the door to see whose baby was crying. And he wasn't surprised to see the cardboard box containing the abandoned baby on the foundation's doorstep.

Yes, the case of a baby being left on the doorstep of the foundation is nothing new. Except for the usual thing, where usually the baby is not wanted by his parents. Though out there a lot of couples who want the presence of a baby in their household. But for some people who are not ready, they prefer shortcuts such as ab** or a more subtle way by leaving it on the doorstep of the orphanage foundation.

The woman named Sri also held the baby who looked cold and brought him in. He also immediately covered it and gave formula milk. Then he reported it to the chairman of the foundation that there was a baby left in front of the entrance in the early hours of the morning.

The lack of facilities also makes them unable to do much, let alone look for the parents of the baby. Given they have no evidence of the baby's video being left behind and who did it.

The baby girl also looks so tiny and beautiful. I don't know which parents just left him. His white skin, thick hair and beautiful eyes make anyone like the baby.

There was no letter or item left by the perpetrator to the baby. But only thin clothes and also rags in the cardboard.

Although the orphanage foundation has reported to the authorities, it is still useless because of the lack of evidence. Until the baby was treated at the orphanage called the foundation Love Mother.

Jasmine as the leader of the foundation also received the baby. She doesn't want any more babies thrown away. And choose to take care of babies abandoned by their parents. The foundation built by his family, which has been running for more than 10 years, has received many children. Some lucky ones were adopted by families. The rest are treated there and schooled by the owner of the foundation and of course also with the help of donors.

Until Jasmine saw the tiny baby and touched her heart to see the bright shining eyes. Jasmine gave her the name Lyra Cornelia. And the baby grew into a beautiful girl.

Lyra was also so close to Jasmine and Madam Sri. He doesn't even want to be adopted by anyone and will remain in an orphanage until he grows up.

Once upon a time, there was a family who wanted to adopt her but Lyra ran away and went into hiding. Lyra as a very active and agile child was hiding on the roof tile of the orphanage foundation. And no one can find him.

"I don't want to leave here, there is already Jasmine's mother and Sri's mother who loves me." murmured little Lyra in heart.

Eventually they gave up and did not adopt Lyra. Until nightfall, they were looking for the little girl.

"Lyra.. Where are you, son??" call Sri's mother.

"Lyra baby, you promise not to hand you over to anyone. Get out." call Jasmine.

Lyra appeared out of nowhere and smiled at Sri and Jasmine.

"Sorry mom.. But you're not lying, are you?? I'm not going to be adopted by anyone, am I??" asked Lyra innocently.

"Yes the promise." said Jasmine.

"Yeeee.. Lyra dear mother." said Lyra happy and smiling.

"Yes the promise. Why don't you have rich parents who can buy Lyra anything?" ask Jasmine.

"Lyra just doesn't like you" replied plain Lyra.

"Now Lyra comes in and takes a bath, sorry Sri's mom is tired of looking for you everywhere" said Jasmine holding Lyra's hand.

Lyra answered him with a nod of her head. He has his own reasons for not being adopted. He saw a foster child at the home who was delivered by several people last month. The boy was covered in bruises, he said he was tortured by his foster parents. And that made Lyra very afraid to be adopted.

☘☘☘☘

Time goes on and Lyra grows into a beautiful and kind girl. He was educated at a school not far from the orphanage. And thanks to her cleverness Lyra got a full scholarship while attending school there. Jasmine is proud of him because Lyra does not want to burden herself and is also reluctant to be adopted. So Lyra will do anything to keep herself in the parlor but also not burden anyone.

Lyra was quite active in her school and participated in many other competitions. She has no time for fun, let alone dating teenagers her age. Lyra only focused on her education and wanted to get another scholarship while in college.

Lyra is determined to serve the foundation after she can live independently. Until finally Lyra graduated with the highest marks in her school and also got a scholarship at a medical university. Lyra was very happy with her achievement. He went to Jasmine and Sri to share the good news.

"Mother.." call Lyra who goes into Jasmine's room.

"Lyra, how did it go?" ask Jasmine.

"Of course the general champion." replied Lyra and Jasmine hugging him tightly.

"Happy dear." said Jasmine.

"Yes mother, but not only that. I qualified at XX medical university with a scholarship." said Lyra happily.

"Congratulations Lyra, you are great." said Jasmine.

"Thank you mother..Where is Sri's mother?? I want to tell him." said Lyra.

"That's him at the door." point to Jasmine.

"Mother Srii. I got a general champion and got a scholarship to go to college." said Lyra happily.

"Congratulations Lyra.Your hard work is not in vain" said Sri.

"Yes ma'am." said Lyra.

That's how Lyra lived her life well. Non-stop hard work, as well as a lot of learning are his habits. Jasmine was proud of him for proving himself.

One day, a man came to the orphanage. Lyra runs into him and greets him because the man asks.

"Excuse me, can you show me the chairperson's office?" ask the man.

"Yes, then please follow me." said Lyra kindly.

"Do you work here?" ask the man to see a young Lyra.

"No, I'm Jasmine's mother's foster child" Lyra said.

"Oh so you're still a foster kid in this foundation" the man said.

"Yes, sir, well the room is right over here." said Lyra.

Lyra knocked on the door and drove the guest to Jasmine's room.

"James.. Is that you?" said Jasmine.

"Of course, aunt we haven't seen each other in a long time" said the man.

Lyra resigned herself to go to college. And Jasmine had a conversation with James who was her nephew.
