Shanum Smile
Chapter 18


Many guests were present at the funeral service of Mr. Arsena. However, Shanum did not come out of his room. He just kept quiet without saying much.


"Num, come out between Rama to his final resting place," asked Santi Anton's wife.


Shanum just shook his head and shed tears. Unlike the time left by her biological mother, just crying inwardly so that it becomes a disease. Finally Shanum did not come to deliver Arsena sir.


While the rest of the family took Mr. Arsena to his final resting place, Shanum was at home accompanied by Mr. Wardhana's wife and children. Shanum was talked to by Mr. Wardhana's wife.


"Oh, means Shanum is already familiar with the Earth?" ask Anastasia's mom, Wardhana's wife.


"Near the hell no, Tan. It's just that we met often in the back garden of the school. Near the basketball court," Shanum answered honestly, inviting Satria's jealousy.


"Oh, so. Aunty just wishes you two could be a match. So you can continue the family rope, even though Mr. Arsena is gone. You want Bum, to be betrothed to Shanum?"


Satria immediately put on an unreadable flat face, his fingers clenched firmly restraining anger. The Earth smiled in response to the mother's words.


"If a soul mate must be together, Ma. Don't be betrothed. We are still in school. It's still a long time to go to that level. Mas Satria was just looking for a mate, soon to be finished High School," replied Bumi divert the conversation.


Bumi already knew if Satria, her brother also kept a taste in Shanum. Moreover, Shanum who does not act like a girl his age. Although he is a bit weak and less sensitive, but he has advantages that can cover up his shortcomings.


Mr. Wardhana and the others have returned from the tomb. So Mr. Wardhana took his wife's son home.


The next Shanum days there was only sadness. Ms. Lelly did not open her eyes, even the last news she heard was very sad. Ms. Lelly's heart rate repeatedly stopped beating suddenly.


It's been three months that her foster mother hasn't been conscious of her coma. Shanum was getting ready to visit his mother at the hospital. While going to find Eko, the driver in the house, suddenly the house phone rings.


"Yes, Mum."


"You don't go to the hospital, Num! Wait for Marcell to get home first, you'll be here together" said the older brother, Anton.


"Why can't I go to the hospital now? Waiting for Mas Marcell a long time ago, Shanum wants now to go to the hospital. Shanum kangen Mother," Shanum replied unwillingly to comply.


"You don't be reckless if you say it, recite it once. Can't you?" snapped Anton pissed.


Shanum finally left. He went back to his room and locked himself up.


Two hours later an ambulance entered Arsena's yard. Shanum immediately ran out, he was afraid if it was the mother who followed Rama.


It turns out Shanum's guess was right, Miss Lelly was finally declared dead after last night critically. His heart rate weakened and finally stopped.


"Momuuu!" shanum's scream was all his might.


He ran to the ambulance gurney carrying the body of Ms. Lelly. Shanum hugged the stiff body of Ms. Lelly with tears in her eyes. Shanum did not feel any premonition, as did his birth mother's death. Especially now that the conditions are getting different. The medication he took made him fall asleep often.


"Already, Num. Yes, it will all come back to the Creator. So be sincere!" santi said as she sat down near Shanum.


Shanum is still continuing the coronation. It's just that since Mr. Arsena died, Mutia who delivered treatment. Not anymore, Miss Lelly.

Shanum chose to return to Yanto's house after forty days of Lely's death. Pak Yanto and Mutia accepted Shanum's return with both hands open.


Actually, Marcell and Anton forbid Shanum to go home to his biological parents. Shanum still asked to go home because in the house only inhabited Shanum and mbok Yem the housekeeper. Eko chooses to go home if the day has changed.


Shanum who felt lonely finally chose to go home. Let the house not be his, the important thing is that he does not feel lonely. As per the will of Mr. Arsena, the mansion was given to Shanum. While the two fields of rice fields and the company were given to his two sons.


Happy crying welcomes Shanum's arrival at Mr. Yanto's house. Mr. Yanto, who had been living alone, was happy because his little girl was back. Actually Mutia also lived in the house, but only once a week. The remote workplace, making Mutia forced to live in mes company.


Mutia works at a convection plant in Sragen area. Mutia's job is very good, which is a marketing manager. He must often meet business partners who come from abroad. In fact, not infrequently he had to go abroad to offer new products in his company.


How happy Mutia was when she came home to find her little sister sleeping in her room.


"Sir, when is Sha coming back here?" mutia asked after keeping her things in the room.


"It's only been three days. Let him come back here, he's there to feel very lonely. Moreover, Iyem more often go home because there is no more work. Father at home too, so we better stay together," replied Mr. Yanto long and wide.


"Then, Mutia also wants to move near here. Mutia's job application has been accepted this," said Mutia happily.


Yes, Mutia was already planning to move to the convection factory in the city. The application has been accepted without conducting tests, this is because Mutia still holds an important position. In addition, the football has been recognized by several companies.


"Where do you want to work?" ask Mr. Yanto curious.


"In PT MM, Sir. Actually, starting Thursday, I was told to come in. Because I still have job responsibilities, so I'm asking for the start of the month. They agreed to it," Mutia replied with a blissful face.


Anyone would be happy to get into the city's largest convection factory. Not all applications are taken for granted. Mutia's recipe is good. Many companies offered him high positions, but many were rejected. The reason is, mostly because of its far away location.


As the father and son chatted, Shanum got up and joined his brother and father. Not sitting among them, but lying down with his brother's thigh


"Mak Mut, Sha Kangen!" shanum said with his eyes closed.


Mutia affectionately rubbed her sister's head gently. He smiled looking at the spoiled behavior of his sister whom he had not seen for a long time.


"Mbak also misses Sha. Sha studied diligently yes, so as to become a doctor like the ideals of Sha so far," said Mutia.


"Sha doesn't want to be a doctor. Sha doesn't have to go to college. Sha wants to work, pity me if Sha goes to doctor's school."
