Dream Smile
Episode 25's

On the way back home there was a feeling of a little regret because it was remembered with Zahra who had left when I cried, even I snapped at her.

Now I go home alone on a motorcycle owned by Mr. Akram, I had asked Sandy first to take it. And lucky upon arrival at the house the rain fell down rapidly.

Mother was surprised at my arrival by riding a motorcycle but after I explained the new mother understood also smiled with relief while saying that I was surrounded with people who were so good also care about me.

Although living in all conditions are lacking but Allah still sends out His blessings through the hands of His trust, the people around me.

My mother also advised me to be more grateful to be living this life. Because every difficulty comes together there will be ease.

The test of life is heavy, but humans are required to remain strong in living it. Glory is always covered with difficulties and painful things, and happiness cannot be achieved except by crossing the bridge of difficulty and the distance cannot be reached by distance except by boat of earnestness and rigor.

For that Mother said again so that I remain diligent in trying and earnest in learning. Enjoy my time and youth as best I can because everything that happens will not come back.

By working hard and earnest, I can achieve my hopes and dreams tomorrow. Until—the state of family life that we live is better than the current one. Even in the scriptures it is explained that, "Surely Allah will not change the state of a people, before the people themselves change what is in them."

And it's clear in this family that I'm the hope for Mom and Zahra as well. It is also appropriate that I am self-aware because I am the holder of an important role, their hope that the life we live will have a bright future.

"Zahra," I called as I approached him, lucky that my brother who was busy scribbling books with a pencil turned his head, responding to my call. His face looked ordinary this time he smiled at me. Relief flooded my heart, he was no longer angry or afraid of things before I left.

I joined him too, watching what he was doing. He also pointed to abstract pencil strokes to show me, smiling in response.

My hands also stroked the back of Zahra's head, then my eyes circulated staring at the ten-narrow spaces of boarding houses.

In my determination, I promise, someday the wheel will turn. When the time comes I will take my family out of this place to move to a more decent place with better circumstances.

"Yes, I can do it" I murmured with confidence.

The school days that I lived were full of warmth, I found friends who always gave support. Although there is competition it is still in the right way in competing to pursue an achievement.

After the national exam I ran. The announcement of graduation was really thrilling.

This afternoon we students gathered in the school hall, waiting for the announcement to arrive. Until the time came our PASS word screamed together.

Grey white uniform scribbles to make a conversation around the city become so fun. Our smiles and laughs fluff up coloring our day which has just been declared graduated from SMK.

The colorful hum of adolescence and from here I found a friend, a friend and a first love.

The first session is over which agrees Ayu's story continues into adulthood, comments below.....
