Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 133 (I'm Also Very Missing )

Ayu has been allowed to go home, even today Ayu forced Malik to drive her to school. Ayu misses studying and her friends. He pleads until Malik cannot refuse Ayu's request. Though Malik still can not release Ayu alone without his direct supervision.

During Ayu's illness, Malik takes his job wherever he goes. Malik did not leave Ayu. Aldo even had to bother pacing if there were files left behind. The important meetings are all held online, Malik really wants to keep and make sure Ayu is okay in her vision.

Malik plays Ayu's favorite song on the way to school which is a little choked up. Ayu remembers the first time she met Malik in the hospital. The song that Ayu heard several times because she felt fascinated by Malik's beautiful face.

“Why are you smiling yourself? Does anything make you happy?” Malik asked while focusing on the streets.

“No Brother, I only remember the past.” Malik clasped Ayu's hand. Ayu used to love hearing this song because she remembers how first impressions met her.

It turns out that all the memories of Malik are not all lost, only the bitter memories that Ayu does not remember about her. Malik felt a little treated when he heard Ayu remember the meaning of the song they heard.

“After school let's stop by Kak Rey's restaurant. He invites us to eat together, there is good news that Kak Rey wants to convey.” Malik remembers the invitation Rey sent in a short message.

“Really! I miss Ana very much. It's been a long time since I hugged her.” Ana's hug always made Ayu feel comfortable.

“You don't miss my hug?” Malik tickled Ayu with his left hand. Ayu laughs in amusement making Malik stop his naughty fingers.

“Kak, how can we get married?” Ayu brought her seat closer to Malik, already lost her shame. He was already at ease because Malik treated him so well.

“Doctor said I can't say the thing that triggered your memory, it's dangerous. Do you understand?” Malik embraces Ayu, kissing Ayu's forehead as she is now at a red light.

“Why everyone talks the same thing. What exactly did I miss? What happens until I can't remember anything!.” Ayu hoped that her memories would appear soon. His face was clouded, Malik was sad but could not do anything. He had to take care of Ayu so that her condition would not deteriorate again.

“I hope when you remember everything, you've forgiven all the bad things about us. You should know, I love you so much.” Malik made Ayu feel flying hearing him so much that he pressed his words. His eyes looked sparkling and were so deep in his current feelings.

“What made you fall for me?” Ayu carried away, she became a little brave when her chest was pounding.

“You want to hear it now? Why are you being naughty after you recover, huh..!” Malik sharpened his eyes, making Ayu shudder at him.

“Kak green light.” Ayu let go of Malik's hug and slightly inched away from Malik's reach. Brother Malik likes to suddenly aggressively make Ayu shy. He is still not used to Malik being friendly to Ayu.

This girl, she's the one who's fishing but she's the one who's staying away. I will have it all someday. Before everything happens, I will take care of you with all my soul and body. Malik spoke in his flowery heart.

Not long before Malik and Ayu reach the school yard, Ayu can't wait to get out of the car but Malik still holds her back. It's hard to let go of Ayu. Malik even had an idea for Ayu to learn from home, but Ayu disagreed including everyone at home.

Malik's idea is excessive, Ayu can be more stressed if not socialize with his friends. He will be just like Malik at the moment. He has no friends and his life is not interesting, he only has friends Adam and Sarah. The rest are just friends.

“Kak wait moreover, quickly open Kak.” Ayu is still whining because Malik does not let her get out of the car just like that with the reason that she still misses Ayu.

“And I beg you, I want to quickly get into class Kak.” Ayu slightly caved for Malik to melt.

“I'll take you to class. Don't refuse, or I'll take you back home.” Ayu could not argue this time. Malik came down and opened the door for Ayu.

Ayu felt uneasy when Malik did not release his hand, all eyes seemed to look at him strangely. Though before Ayu lost their memories often become the center of attention in school. But no one dared to comment knowing who Malik was.

“So why don't you just let go of my hand, look at them all looking at me Kak.” Ayu whispered making Malik slightly subdue his tall body.

“Don't mind them, just say you're my wife.” Ayu pinched Malik's hand, he always spoke at will. Though he himself said their marriage is still secret because Ayu is still in school.

After the distance was close enough, Malik just let go of his hand. Malik did not let Ayu run, Malik was afraid that Ayu would suddenly get dizzy from being too tired. Malik is overrated since Adam said Ayu should not be exhausted or too much of a burden on the mind.

“We are very homesick.” Melani is like a choir talking in unison.

“Do you guys memorize the words of welcome? You guys are compact once.” The three of them hugged, the noise made the other students happy when they saw Ayu had returned to enter.

“I also miss very much.” Jofan hugs Ayu in front of the class, all who see a thin smile fear Sandra or Jofan tau. They can go berserk when someone is talking about them in the back.

Sandra is jealous, in fact, only a few days closer to Jofan since Ayu did not come. Jofan has more time for her and more attention than ever. But this is the feeling of a friend, Jofan even know Ayu has officially become the wife of Malik Saputra. A very good man compared to any man in this country.

“Mas, we are the center of attention.” Jofan kisses the top of Ayu's head covered in hijab before releasing his hug.

Malik clenched his hand seeing Ayu being hugged by another man despite her biological brother Jofan. They are one father, so their relationship is very strong. Their blood type is the same.

Malik took a deep breath, pulling Ayu to stand closer to him. Malik looked at Jofan with anger when Jofan did not respond even indifferently to Malik. If not the school Malik must have shouted at Jofan, fortunately they were at school. Malik keeps his pride and self-esteem Ayu and her friends to stay good.

“Come in.” Melani took Ayu without any guilt. Sandra was a little sensitive because her heart was as painful as Malik's. Sadra was afraid to look at Malik who still looked angry.

Malik pulls Jofan's arm before Jofan enters the class following his third speech. “Never again do you hold her in front of me. Do you understand?” Malik whispers in Jofan's ear so that Jofan doesn't do it again in front of Malik. His heart still could not accept if there was another man who loved Ayu more than his love.

“Kak, I even want to take him away and I have it alone.” Jofan runs away after making Malik feel furious at him. Malik could not do anything because the class was full and many eyes were looking at him.

Malik today took the time for Ayu, he just checked some of the work that went into his email while enjoying the mango juice that was in front of him. It's been a while since Malik hasn't had a relaxing time like this. Malik fad to look at the vacation spot that he can go with Ayu at the weekend.

“Nak.” It was Ferdinan who was already standing in front of Malik. Busy with his cell phone until Malik is unaware the headmaster is standing before him.

“Pak, please sit.” Malik stood up pulling the chair helping Ferdinan sit down. Since Ferdinan's illness looked very weak, his body was not as stout as it used to be, but his life spirit amazed others.

“How's the Headmaster? Is it better now?” Malik gave a warm tea that was in vain message.

“You should have called me Papah.” Ferdinan smilingly stared blankly at his soul who so wanted Ayu as his daughter.

“I'll call Papah when Jofan and Ayu are nowhere near us.” Malik tried to entertain.

“Jofan even hugged me happily when he knew Ayu was his younger sibling.”

Uhukkkk....

Malik choked on the mango juice he had just slapped, his throat ached and his eyes watering in shock at Ferdinan's words.

So that's the reason Jofan was so close to Ayu, apparently he already knew who Ayu really was. But what about Ayu, why didn't she resist when Jofan hugged her. Why Ayu behaved normally and did not mind Jofan's attitude. Malik shook his head in astonishment.

“You okay?" Malik nodded his head. "Father hope Ayu can accept me, not our mistakes in the past. I'm sorry that I did so badly to Lia, but I don't regret having such a beautiful daughter like Ayu.” Ferdinan took off his glasses, wiping away the tears that had already puddled in the corner of the eye.

“Don't go back to the past, now our job is to keep and make sure Ayu is happy and okay.” Malik hugged Ferdinan who looked very hit.

The past we cannot change, what we can correct is the present situation by not repeating the same mistake. It is not the duty of man to govern the course of God's destiny, but the duty of man to correct the mistakes of the past so as not to sink with guilt.
