A 45-year-old grandmother who is commonly called Ijah's grandmother, she lives alone in the city of S because her only son died one year ago, all of his brothers live in the town of L. That night when the rain drizzled the door of my grandmother Ijah's house there was knocking, heard the knock of the door from outside the house, and, granny Ijah opened the door while looking out and saw no one there was only the sound of crying babies from inside the cardboard.

With fear Ijah's grandmother opened the cardboard and how shocked Ijah's grandmother was when she saw a baby in a cardboard box covered only in baby blankets, the baby was a baby girl who was thought to have been born a few hours ago.

"Who would put a newborn here." Inner grandmother Ijah.

Then Ijah's grandmother came in holding the baby and brought the cardboard inside, because Ijah's grandmother was afraid to take the baby to the midwife's house not far from his house with Paijo pedicab next door neighbor.

After reaching Paijo waiting outside, while Ijah's grandmother entered by holding the baby.

"Who's this baby, Grandma, where's the mother...?" The midwife asked while examining the baby, and cleaned up the baby.

"Grandmother also did not know son, there was someone who knocked on the door of the grandmother's house, after the grandmother opened no one, there was only a cardboard containing a baby, a piece of photo, necklace and paper this." Grandma Ijah answered while giving the paper she put into her pocket.

The midwife read with a surprised expression then kissed the baby and said "Pity your fate Cheerful".

Hearing the midwife's words, Grandma Ijah immediately asked.

"What's the matter, boy, who's cheerful..?".

"This baby is called Cheerful, Grandma Ijah can't read." The midwife replied while asking.

"No son.."

"All right, let me read it." The midwife put the baby in her cradle on the mattress, then read out the contents of the letter.

The contents of the letter are..

Please give her the name Cheerful, so she can keep smiling Cheerfully. I will return to the city of P, my hometown and I beg you not to let the cheerful get married before I pick her up.

Hearing the contents of the letter Ijah's grandmother immediately cried, how not only 11 months ago his son died, now had to get a bitter blow, that he had a granddaughter without marrying his son, he said, but seeing the baby's calm face while asleep made Grandma Ijah's heart melt, and willing to take care of the baby, no matter how she was her own grandson. Maybe God didn't want my grandmother to be lonely. After examining the baby, the midwife gave the baby formula, and some of the baby's equipment. Then Ijah's grandmother returned home with Paijo, after arriving in front of the house all my grandmother's neighbors had gathered in front of the door of his house. Wanted to ask about the baby, and Ijah's grandmother explained everything to the neighbors. The response of the neighbors was different there were pity there were gossiping, some even insulting, seeing the response of the neighbors Ijah's grandmother decided to immediately move home so that Cheers did not get the mistreatment of her neighbors.

In the morning at 08:00 pm Ijah's grandmother left with all her important items using a pedicab nek Ijah moved in a simple contract complex in the city of S, while carrying a baby. After arriving at the contract that Paijo found, he stepped in while holding a baby, while Paijo helped bring Ijah's grandmother's goods into the house, after which Paijo pamit, while Ijah's grandmother put Ceria to sleep, after cheerful sleep nek Ijah clean up the house to clean.

"Sister, who is this child...?" A man who was a little younger than Ijah's grandmother, he was Baroto Ijah's grandmother's sister.

"He's my grandson, Joko's son."

"What, but Joko's dead and she's not married either." Grandpa baroto replied in surprise.

"You can't believe reading this." Grandma Ijah spoke while giving a piece of paper. And immediately taken baroto grandfather, because baroto grandfather could not read finally he asked his son named dirman to read it. Dirman read the letter out loud until everyone in the guest room heard and was shocked, everyone was angry and said that the baby was not their family, even Dirman's grandfather's son Baroto asked to do a DNA test.

"*We have to do this baby DNA test with budhe Ijah" Dirman spoke in a serious tone.

"It's true that Dirman said it's clear who this baby really is, if it's not suitable we just give this baby to the orphanage." This time it was baroto's grandfather who spoke to the heart.

"What do you mean grandpa, do you not pity this cute baby, why do you have to throw baby not** this guilty man to the parlor.." The grand speech of the child of the dirman who felt like seeing the baby girl.

"What's wrong with you, son, don't argue with Grandpa's words, which Grandpa says is true if he's not Ijah's granddaughter, we better put him in the parlour, so that he can have a complete family." Dirman's words gave his son an explanation.

"No father, in the parlour is not a suitable place for him, what father does not see, his age is almost the same as my son, even he is two years younger than my son, he said, if the others won't take care of him let me take care of him." This time the regal said seriously with his words, Ijah's grandmother was just him and held the baby, because he already knew that his sister was stubborn.

"Alright but we have to do a DNA test for the baby, and you take care of his birth certificate, make him your son, because he will be his great sister, he said, and the DNA test we're gonna do when the kid's 5." Baroto said in a serious tone.

"Good sir.." Dirman answered while nodding his head.
