Dream Smile
Episode 40's

Arriving at the station the sun still hasn't appeared. My heart was hesitant to step out of the station area, so I decided to take a seat in the waiting room. Because I think it's a safe way to avoid something that's not out there.

It was almost two hours of waiting until the sky turned bright. I continued my steps out of the station area towards the bus stop.

Not long after I reached the rented place. My face was radiant when I received greetings from the neighbors who knew me, they are the residents of this place.

The door to the rented room that my mother and sister lived in was half open and soon I went inside. But I flinched when I reached the lips of the door. My anger was immediately ignited to look at the person I never expected to be back in my life sleeping on his stomach with his head facing me, his eyes still closed enjoying sleep. While in the room there was no mother nor my sister.

I snorted and immediately opened the wide door by deliberately slamming it towards the wall. The loud sound of the dings suddenly made my father wake up.

Just like me, his face was red with anger. "Basic son of a bitch!" as he woke up with a fast motion he headed towards me to throw a punch that unfortunately I could not avoid.

My face turned to the left as my palm landed hard. And after a few seconds the pain ran through my cheeks as my tears fell.

"That's worth your insolence!" His his hissing then stepped towards the exit of the door.

"And you deserve to get a lack of kindness from Ayu. Because so far I have never wished for the Father to return from Our lives," my wrath made the Father stop his steps and then turn to look at me.

He smiled mockingly. "You threatened your father. You son don't know it's lucky!"

His hand flew back to give me a slap but was hindered because the new mother quickly held my arm.

"You just ask your unfortunate child," hiss Father simultaneously jerked Mom's arm. He then left by stepping wide leaving this place.

I was still staring at his back with my chest going up and down. Mother approached and grabbed my shoulder trying to calm me down and lead me to sit on the side of the bed.

"Why is it like this?" Mother asked in a bitter voice, fingered and held my cheek from the slap that still felt sore. But in fact the pain was not comparable to my heart.

"I'm really disappointed in Mom" I looked blankly at what was in front of me.

Mom was crying and trying to hug me but I immediately pushed away. "What is a man like that to defend?" I said annoyed mixed with disappointment.

"This is what Ayu is afraid of, if Ayu goes, you will definitely return. Make a ride alive, add problems and also bother Mom. Especially what I expect from a man like that, you better just divorce with—"

"Juice!" mom's voice raised to the point that I couldn't believe that Mom was still defending her.

"Well then, I choose the defense you live here and that means Ayu who will never set foot again in this place," my words with thoughts that are already afraid of disappointment are also filled with emotions.

I got up and decided to leave this place, not caring about the crying Mother.
