Dream Smile
Episode 16's

I am willing to make a decision. Buy a new phone or give it to my mom and the last option is to save some of the money I have for later purposes.

I'm sighing. Not having money confused have money is even more confused, my mind.

The money in my hands is quite decent and I have never used a bit, this is the pure result during my internship at the Kartika hotel.

I now look at my butut phone whose status is alive and reluctant to die, because that's a lot of death than his life. Especially when Sarah said she would send a picture of me with Mr. Akram, after I saw my phone turned out to be dead.

I shook my head and held my forehead which felt dizzy. If only I were born from a person there would be all desires and needs would obviously be fulfilled. I am also now increasingly sighing long full will be tired.

"That's it," I murmured then put my money in my personal box and put it back in my closet.

Today I am off and my internship is one week away, it feels like time is passing so quickly. I then put out sheets of paper to fill it according to the schedule of journals and activities during the internship and plan later in the afternoon I will bring to the printing place so that it can be used as a proposal book, for the shortcomings later stay add writing the agenda of the next week.

During the busy writing my sister was still asleep in her sleep while Mom was out for work. The time has now shown at three in the afternoon, long enough I struggled with my writing but in the end it was finished too. Along with that my brother Zahra is now starting to wake up.

"Zahra's awake?" tanyaku who turned to him while my hands were busy tidying up and put my task back in the bag.

Rubbing her eyes, she nodded in a sitting position. "Hud?" call him.

"It's still busy at work" I said. Yes, even though Zahra has autism syndrome, she can still be invited to communicate. He can speak even if the sound is heard a little left-handed or not so clear.

"Wake up, come to the bathroom first" I said as I approached and carried her to the bathroom.

Once it was clean and washed his face, I took him back to the boarding room to accompany him to play, precisely on the floor.

I looked at Zahra's face, there was a notable difference when compared to a normal child, for example from his already visible face. With such a different condition he has difficulty finding friends, there are but not all sincere friends with him not even spared Zahra got bully an than others.

When I remember that, it feels like I want to adopt the children or the people who bullied my sister. We obviously do not accept, who wants a brother or child who was born different. Obviously all do not want to, but back again humans who were born on this earth already have their own life line.

I now turn to the sound of the motor that enters the boarding yard, if noticed I know the motor that belongs to Sarah and also Sandy. And sure enough they stopped right in front of the porch where I was sitting.

"Why are you guys here?" ask me to get up from my seat as they both stand on the bike.

"Sarah wants to know your house" said Sandy who now took off her helmet and got off the bike.

"Am I the reason?" sarah said. "Aren't you the one who wants to take Ayu's path?" sarah continued making my brows furrow at the two people before me in turn.

Sandy scratched her nape, then looked towards Zahra who was still busy playing. "Your sister?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, he has diverted the conversation, instead" Sarah said, thinning her lips.

I smiled stiffly because I did not know the direction of their conversation but they said they wanted to take me on the road. "Yes my sister's name is Zahra. Where are you going?" ask them.

"You know, he said he wanted to see the culture," said Sarah then went up to the terrace and greeted my sister Zahra.

"What afternoon is there?" many wonder.

"So, I saw it in Risty's IG post, right" Sandy said, pointing her phone at me.

I nodded and said, "What time does the show start?"

"Four hours" said Sandy.

"It's already started, it's four and a quarter" I glanced at my watch.

"Makanya go there now," said Sarah.

"Take it," said Sandy quickly.

"But—," I said paused, doubtful.

"Why is that?" ask Sandy.

"Ntar if you are fussy how to try, cook there bring a boy," I said sighing.

"What time is your mother back?" asked Sarah to look at me for a glimpse then went back to playing with Zahra.

"About five o'clock, usually if I don't take my sister off to work, my mother takes me to work" I explained.

"Yes, take it with you, I tell you to come out at most an hour doang" said Sarah.

"Know it?" my mouth convinced them.

"Yes, Cepetan change clothes and ready what to bring," said Sarah.

"But it's your responsibility that Zahra is fussy!" I said before entering the room.

"Yes a puff of bauble" said Sarah upset.

I entered the room and got ready, and I changed the clothes worn by Zahra and dressed her in a jacket. After all the preparations are ready, I lock the door and say goodbye to the residents of the next boarding house so that if my mother comes home not confused looking for me.

The motor is now driven to the Carnival place located on the main street of Solo city. The event is quite lively with a variety of traditional costume performances combined with a modern concept that is certainly unique and has its own characteristics.

Zahra was actually very happy with this entertainment, he focused on observing one by one the art displayed even today he was not fussy in the least.

And what makes me happy is that I have such a good friend. They do not look at social status especially with my condition which is very lacking far from them. Not to mention Zahra, now my friends take turns holding him and invite him to join the fun and mingle with the euphoria of the excitement of this cultural kirab event.

Here even I met my other friends including Risty and Princess who had not met for almost three months, until the evening before the kirab event was over and I was now escorted by Sandy to go home.

"Thank you Sandy took me and Zahra and drove me home. Once again thank you," I said after getting off the bike while carrying Zahra.

Sandy smiled and as I said goodbye, she turned around and called me. "Father..."

"Yes?" I turned to look at him.

"Mmm it—Why didn't you reply to my Wa message? Does the contents of my message bother you?" his voice sounded a little doubtful.

I grimaced. "It's not that, just that I haven't had the time to reply because the phones of the past few days have been dying a lot" I explained.

"So you're not angry?" tanyanya while rubbing the nape.

"Why angry?" ask me not to understand.

"No, I don't think you're angry. Yeah, it's in there" she said, making me even more confused and now Sandy's moving my shoulders to turn my body around.

"Here you go home, and see you Zahra," he said, then I continued my steps towards the location of my room, and as I turned around Sandy was on her bike waving her hands.
