Dream Smile
Episode 121

Ayu had thought of all the consequences she would take after her graduation day. More like one more month.

Tonight he was at his Grandfather's big family dinner and he found out when Soraya told him that his Om family was also present, and of course Ayu was surprised because Kevin must have come along.

For that Ayu hurried to go to her room, took a cell phone to ask if Kevin would come. But he had not finished typing the message his room door had been knocked.

"Who?" sahut Ayu put down his phone, finding that Zahra had entered his room.

Zahra immediately ran towards Ayu, hitting Ayu to hug. Of course Ayu himself tightened his embrace, misses the true he felt.

Just arrived at Grandpa's house this afternoon. A leave permit that he only takes for two days to deliver the graduation invitation next month. Actually Ayu can tell the invitation over the phone, but somehow Ayu's heart is driven to want to deliver it directly to her Grandfather.

His hopes and hard work during studying abroad will be over soon and the form of appreciation of the results of his learning Ayu wants his Grandfather to be the first person who deserves it. Representing as one of the family is also a guardian over him.

Zahra who is in Ayu's arms is now sobbing. Similarly, Ayu who really misses his sister.

"Zahra kangen the same Ma'am?" ayu asked in a raucous voice and of course the boy now nodded.

Zahra's age is now almost ten years old. In accordance with the results of his sister's examination with Asperger Syndrome. This leads to more expression and response of the child who tends to be passive towards others, but the response will be different if the child finds something that interests him as well if there are people around who he knows.

Of the many therapies and not the best doctors and psychiatrists now Zahra's condition has more and more progress. Zahra is able to speak well also now little by little trained so that the child is able to socialize with the environment so that later can bring empathy from within him to better interact with others.

Ayu withdrew to cupping her sister's face then went down again observing the child's appearance. His heart was filled, in his heart he also gave thanks because his sister's condition was much better than the one Ayu had previously lived. No longer shabby but his sister has now received good care, of course all of it was obtained from his Grandfather.

"Zahra dear Grandpa?" said Ayu rubbed his sister's face.

While Zahra immediately nodded at her brother's words. "Ara uga ayang Mba." said Zahra who although with imperfect words, but Ayu was so understanding with the sentences.

Again Ayu spread her arms with Zahra who was preparing to hug her brother again. "Zahra happy to live here? Sorry, Ma'am yes, it's been three years Mbak not together Zahra. There must be a lot of things that Zahra has been difficult to go through, but Mbak is very confident that Zahra is a strong boy. So now Maak sees Zahra has grown bigger, smarter and more beautiful," said Ayu with Zahra who tightened the embrace.

The boy was crying. Crying in silence that seemed to complain that he missed brother very much. True what Ayu said, the boy did experience difficulties during his abandonment by his brother. Because living in a new family environment and a new place of learning for Zahra is indeed a difficulty.

"Here's apparently?" said Soraya who went straight into Ayu's room because the door was not closed.

"Mbak." said Ayu who then released Zahra's embrace and then sat his sister next to him on the side of the bed.

"We let go of longing" said Ayu displaying a smile.

Soraya took a seat beside Zahra. "You both fought. Passed three years and rarely met."

"Sorry to have inconvenienced the family, Zahra here for sure." said Ayu quickly.

Merta Soraya shook her head. "Bak feels untroubled. There is Zahra who lives here. I think of Zahra as Lyra. Even Mbak wants Zahra to stay here, later and if possible one day you married— Mbak asked Zahra to stay with Mbak," Soraya sincerely stroked Zahra's head.

Ayu could not immediately respond to the words of her cousin-in-law. Zahra is responsible, but perhaps all Ayu will also leave it to Zahra. Let in the future the child can choose, as comfortably as the child lives.

"Ma—Papa looking.." said Lyra who suddenly appeared from the door.

Likewise with Rudi who did not come. "Dining is about to begin" he said.

"Om Bramantyo and Aunt Cindy are here?" soraya asked, staring at the door where her husband was standing.

Not yet her husband replied Lyra had already pulled Soraya's hand. "Let's Ma Grandpa downstairs," said the little boy.

"If so also Aunt Ayu and Brother Zahra," said Soraya gave orders to his daughter.

Until Kura took off her hand checks on her mother and switched to holding Zahra to leave the room. "Come, brother, we're together" he said.

Soraya turned to Ayu. "You see for yourself, how familiar they are" Soraya pointed to her daughter and Zahra.

The corner of Ayu's lips curved perfectly and then nodded Soraya's words.

"Yes already then we go down," asked Soraya and asserted by Ayu who immediately left the room.

And when he came down the stairs from the direction of the living room had seen the figure of a man who was straightening his gaze on Ayu, until he just remembered that the message typed on his cellphone had not been sent to the man.
