Dream Smile
Episode 134

"Mommy's not sure Kevin can be happy Pa."

Kevin held down the door he was about to open, put up an ear and listened intently to the conversation that mentioned his name.

Just got Kevin home from work, overtime to finish work for the next two days. Since the day after tomorrow was Ayu's graduation day, she had prepared herself as well as a little surprise for her lover. While his goal this time to meet his parents is to say goodbye that tomorrow he will leave for Singapore.

But when his hand was raised about to knock on the door, from the gap of the door that was slightly open made him hear his name being mentioned. The more he sharpened his hearing, the more curious he was about what his parents were talking about in his Papa's study.

"Mama still feels hard to accept Ayu to be Mama's daughter-in-law" Cindy added.

"Our son made his choice. Mama heard for herself one month ago, witnessed the seriousness of Kevin when proposing to Ayu," said Bramantyo turned to look at his wife who was holding her chest.

"But Mama is still not sincere," Cindy grumbled along with a look full of disappointment. "Our children should have thoughts and choices like Soraya. Choosing a life companion that is clearly of origin. Bebet weights, respected descendants and have a profession to be proud of, at least equal to Kevin, Pa. Let there be no prickly shoes, which obviously do not let anyone talk about the ugliness of our children behind later," he explained.

Bramantyo let out a short sigh and then removed the glasses she was wearing. Massaging his nose for a moment, not only once he was faced with this problem, what he needed this time was a clear mind to face his wife's attitude.

But Bramantyo had not yet said, the door in his study was revealed. There was Kevin who was standing in the middle of the door with a flat face.

"Is a bag a handicap for Mama?" kevin said as he walked into his Papa's office. His eyes were looking straight at his mother.

Cindy's breathing was stifled, then she nodded. "Mama just wants you not to take a wrong step."

"Didn't Mom say for herself that Kevin can find a partner who suits Kevin's choice. Kevin has made a choice for Ayu, so Kevin please respect Kevin—Ma's decision," Kevin said, calmly conveying his heart.

"Mama thought your choice was more classy, son, so Mama entrusted everything to you. But after you said your choice was Ayu, Mama was disappointed" Cindy admitted.

"Is it just Mama here who rejected Ayu?" kevin asked, turning his eyes to his parents in turn.

"Papa agrees with your decision" Bramantyo said.

"That means only Mom gives rejection. Alright. So how did Mama see Kevin?" kevin stepped closer to his mother.

"Is Mama Kevin's eyes perfect? Able to stand with the big name of the Wijaya family? Bramantyo Wijaya that name until now Kevin slang, but do Mama remember Harry Wijaya also contributed until Kevin was born into the world. If one deficiency is a defect? What about your son, Kevin Bramantyo Wijaya's son, but Kevin is actually the son of Harry Wijaya. Don't you think what if the people out there know this?" kevin pressed his words.

Cindy's face was instantaneous. Returning her steps seemed to lose balance, if only her husband did not move quickly to support her body, maybe her body had collapsed now. Now his chest seemed to be hit by an extraordinary tightness, like being hit by an invisible dagger that penetrated to his chest.

"Where did you— from" Cindy had a hard time continuing her words. Secrets, disgrace, bad events that he does not want to remember back are actually re-discovered by his own son. People who shouldn't know, people who shouldn't have to say that.

"That's not true, you're Papa—kamu's son," Cindy said trying to explain, dismissing Kevin's words and tightly gripping her husband's arm. Hoping that her husband would help her give other reasons.

Kevin smiled smirkily, the pain clearly visible in his eyes.

"Kevin isn't a child anymore Ma," he said flatly, then he lowered his head for a moment. Sighing let out an increasingly sipped taste in his chest.

Until finally Kevin lifted his face, looked to smile at Cindy, then pulled one hand Cindy and stroked the back of her hand softly while saying, "What do you really fear? Kevin's short of treasure? If yes, Kevin is still able to work. And if Mama asks what Kevin is feeling right now, after knowing what Mama really covered all this time from Kevin? The answer is Kevin is okay. Because of the origin of Mama knows, the woman Kevin chose never disputed one mistake Kevin present in the past. Ayu already knows, so Mama doesn't have to worry."

Without waiting for an answer from his mother, Kevin also pulled his hand out of the hands of his mother who he had been holding, to slowly rotate his body and then choose to leave in front of his parents.
