Shanum Smile
Bonchap

"Lo is a man with no feelings! Or is Lo the demon who transformed into a human to destroy my family?" yelled Satria full of anger.

"Satria's brother already knew Shanum was a demon, why was he still approaching? Is Brother Satria not afraid, does not the devil always hurt? Brother and sister's family are angels, so never disturb this demon, if you want to survive!"

Satria accuses all the chaos in her family of Shanum's presence. Since knowing Shanum, Satria's life became a somersault. Hostile with his family and now his sister is dead.

Although always accused of being the source of the Wardhana family's destruction, Shanum still smiled. Shanum won't explain everything. Let people judge what he is like, if people have hated the best deeds will still be bad. If someone already likes, no matter how bad it is still good.

Shanum always remembered the harsh words that came out of Satria's mouth. Until now Shanum has remained unwilling to confirm that misunderstanding. Let it be, there is no need to seek justification for what he did.

A few weeks later, Shanum was busy with his college preparation. He is still not allowed to ride a motorcycle even after the completion of the SLTA. Mutia was completely overprotective on her only sister.

Lecture will begin soon, but Shanum has not yet got the boarding. Finally, Mutia ventured to her late mother's sister. Asking for help from his mother's family from Yogyakarta.

Coincidentally there is a Buddhist house that lives in the palace area, he also agreed to treat Shanum. Budhe's affection is the same as Mr. Arsena. She was a widow living in a house alone.

Shanum eventually lives with the budhe. Walking quite far, his college hours are often in broad daylight. Shanum often walks in the hot sun.

In the second semester, Shanum fell ill again for several weeks. As a result, he had to repeat several courses in the next semester. He also failed to get a scholarship.

Although Shanum failed to get a scholarship, he still diligently studied to catch up. His GPA is always above three. This caught the attention of a young lecturer there.

The lecturer always paid more attention to Shanum. He teaches tax courses. Where Shanum followed the training and guidance as a condition of getting good grades.

The lecturer was also the one who eventually financed Shanum's college. For him not to lose money for financing orphan school. Especially the kid is overachieving.

One day after finishing the final exam of the third semester, Shanum ventured to play to the house of Dewi. She was welcomed by the Goddess and her family. Bayu had just graduated, so they could gather in the hut.

"Never come here, Num! I think Lo has forgotten with us," said Bayu when they were sitting in a hut that had changed some walls.

"Gue lives with budhe, rarely goes home. How am I gonna play here, try?"

"It's Lo home!"

"It's because I'm on holiday, finishing the final exam of the semester. If I don't go home on holiday. In fact, if I have a holiday I also rarely go home," Shanum replied grinning horse.

"Gapain Lo over there, Num? Find guys?" cerca Goddess meledek.

"Gue help budhe who still sells in Ngasem Market. Poor he was old, no one helped," Shanum explained.

(Ply \= old)

"Oh, Kirain Lo find a guy! Lo'll be beautiful, it's so pinter again. It's not hard to make a guy." The goddess guessed at random.

"Ehh, right, sister? If there are a lot of guys who queue up to make Shanum dapetin," asked Dewi looking for allies.

They continued to tell stories until the sky changed color, from suddenly darkening bright. It is cloudy as a sign that it will soon rain. Therefore, Shanum chose to go home.

A few days later, Shanum returned to Yogyakarta. He did not have the heart to leave the budhe selling alone in the market. Although budhe kiosks are only small stalls, but many buyers visit.

Actually budhe Maria does not need to sell anymore in the market. All her children have succeeded and are married. However, loneliness makes budhe Maria still selling in her old age.

Often see Shanum walk quite far to the campus, budhe also advised Shanum to look for costs close to the campus. Budhe could not bear to see Shanum often sick from fatigue.

Aided by the lecturers who funded his lectures, Shanum looked for costs close to the campus. After being tired for days looking for boarding houses, Shanum finally found a boarding house located behind the campus.

"I'm just a poor orphan, and a sick person. There are still many beautiful girls out there whose parents are still complete and also rich. You should not have chosen me" Shanum said when the lecturer expressed his feelings. At that time after looking for boarding houses for Shanum.

Not a word of love that comes out of the lecturer like other men. Except an invitation to build a household. Given the age that has matured let alone experienced, making Harya desperate to propose Shanum.

Shanum was just silent, not knowing what to answer He was confused between accepting or rejecting. However, given all the kindness the man in front of her had been all this time.

Shanum often gets the attention of young lecturers who have the status of a new widower, making the campus excited. Again Shanum did not want to respond to all that. He stayed silent and lectured as usual.

The news of Shanum's closeness with the lecturer also reached the ears of his family. Shanum was also severely reprimanded. Shanum obediently followed his family's orders.

After graduation Shanum married the kindly lecturer. Although the age gap is quite far, which is ten years. But the lecturer's great love for Shanum, finally melted his heart.

"Daradly! Graduated with the highest grades in his major, even married."

"Honey, 3.73 GPA is just a wedding!"

Those are some of the grapevine Shanum heard, when he married a widower with twins. Mr. Harya has two toddlers left behind by his ex-wife.

Mr. Harya loves Shanum so much, whatever Shanum needs is fulfilled. Every wish of Shanum was obeyed. Even what was said from Shanum's lips was instantly realized.

Unfortunately, all of this is not free! Shanum must be taken to the birthplace of her husband. Not because it is selfish, but because the lecturer has taken care of his move to the Government which has just expanded.

Once outside Java, Shanum immediately worked. The in-laws are actually retired SOEs, who turned out to be quite famous for their wealth. No wonder Shanum is easy to get a job, especially he has good grades.

Shanum becomes queen in the new house. A very loving husband and in-laws who loved him very much, made Shanum's smile always fluffy. To be loved is better than to love ....

The love story of Mr. Harya and Shanum should not be written yes, because Mr. Harya is possessive very🤭
