Dream Smile
Episode 110's

In front of Ayu there have been two cakes with different flavors. One of hers that she bought yesterday afternoon and another gift from Kevin, her favorite chocolate-flavored cake.

One more package Ayu accidentally did not open it. Let's put the box on the table rack.

Spending breakfast for a long time, Ayu held her breath when she realized the time was almost nine o'clock. Along with that his phone rang, on the screen indicated Ida name.

"Yes Da.." said Ayu when receiving a phone call.

"Aren't you in?"

Stifling. "I'm still in the apartment."

"Don't you say there's a test today?" suhut Ida reminded.

"Ah... Was she? I forgot.." said Ayu. Starting to panic, he stood up from his seat.

"Yes, I'm ready!" said Ayu again went into his room, then threw his phone just like that on the mattress. Take your clothes and go into the bathroom.

Not long after, the test that will take place today will be held at ten o'clock. As soon as Ayu's preparation felt enough he rushed out of the apartment and looked for a taxi that passed on the main road in front of his apartment building.

Running so out of the taxi he was riding in, hoping to get to class soon and lucky again when he arrived at his class, the guidance counselor had not yet arrived.

Sweat flooded his forehead, the clothes he was wearing were also soaked in sweat not to mention with breathless breath making him instantly put his head on the table.

"I'm tired." Ayu muttered as the friend on the bench around looked towards her.

Soon after, the guidance lecturer came to give the material to be tested to students. Arriving here on time makes Ayu so grateful. Almost and almost the chance of being eroded by the affairs of romance that recently made his heart worried.

***

Returning home, this is the second time Ayu returned to Indonesia after more than a year living in Singapore. The first return was when he finished his second semester and for his return today he himself was not picked up like he used to be.

Living alone makes it more independent in managing time and finances that are certainly obtained from his family. Ayu is only allowed to study without being allowed to work of course it is supported by facilities as well as monthly rations that Ayu feels are more than enough.

Adab and the culture of living there is actually able to change a little appearance coupled with the influence of some friends. Maybe someone else will see it pangling because Ayu has been good at applying make-up on her face.

Arriving at the airport Ayu immediately booked a taxi with the aim of returning to his grandfather's house. The leave permit he has is only two days, so there are not many luggage that he brought because Soraya has prepared everything needed for the reception later tonight.

"Why don't you tell me Neng wants to go home? Mang will be able to pick it up," said Mang Yayat when opening the gate, finding Ayu standing in front of him.

"What a Mang. This section has also reached home safely," Ayu said with a smile.

Nodding to agree, Ayu also immediately entered. Not much has changed from my grandfather's home. Just... As he started to pass through the grounds of the house, Ayu paused for a moment his footsteps. He sees his grandfather's interaction with two little boys, Zahra and Lyra.

Seemed a fluffy smile from his Grandfather who looks very happy through the togetherness with his grandson. Moreover, Zahra he looks so familiar with his grandfather which certainly makes little heart Ayu feel envious.

"When did you arrive?" Soraya suddenly appeared and made Ayu flinch.

"Bak" said Ayu. "Barusan," continued Ayu showed a smile.

"What concerns?" soraya asked curious because she saw Ayu who never entered the house. Now Soraya just circulated her view and understood what Ayu noticed.

"Grandfather?" ask Soraya to make sure and be taken by Ayu. "Well, say hello to Grandpa."

At the sight of Ayu and Soraya found that her sister-in-law only smiled faintly, seeming reluctant.

"Grandfather also misses you," said Soraya made Ayu immediately look at him. "Any hard rock will inevitably be eroded by circumstances and time. Grandpa needs time and everything you know as long as you go Grandpa often asks you about it."

Ayu looked deeply at Soraya who then nodded. "Grandfather cares about you, even though Grandpa was originally against you studying there. And with the results of your two semesters of study, Grandpa seems proud of you," explained Soraya who was unable to stop Ayu again taste her good fortune.

"That means Grandpa loves my—?" said Ayu with teary eyes.

"Sure," Soraya said. His hand also moved with Ayu to where Grandpa was sitting on the gazebo board.

"Grandfather, Ayu has arrived home."

His grandfather turned his head as Soraya spoke. With no expression, but with Soraya's encouragement and command, Ayu hurried to greet her Grandfather and kissed his hand.

He felt Grandpa's hand tremble, making Ayu look up at his head to look at his Grandpa.

The eyes of pain and wounds were clearly visible from within his Grandfather's eyeball, and without many words his Grandfather actually pulled and hugged Ayu. His Grandfather's body was increasingly trembling, crying but still able to be held back. "I'm sorry Grandpa. But Grandpa really misses your mother. Grandpa's daughter," muttered her Grandfather which naturally made Ayu cry.

"I'm sorry if you make too many mistakes with Grandpa" said Ayu who also cried.

Boost. Grandpa took off his embrace and looked at Ayu. "All has passed. Grandpa was also wrong for over-restricting Grandpa's daughters. So Grandpa should have borne the mistake that Grandpa had made himself. What about living abroad? Are you having trouble?" said Grandfather who made Ayu momentarily stunned.

So quickly his grandfather changed the subject and in his heart of course he felt very happy because the question that had just been launched from his Grandfather's mouth was a form of caring. Ayu nods and displays a smile on her lips and says, "Although it's hard but Ayu enjoys it."

Enjoying the humming of his life journey in achieving dreams.
