Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 149 (I Want to Be Happy)

Along the way Malik did not let go of Ayu's hand. He looks uneasy, Malik is not sure everything will be okay. Surely Ayu forced herself to accept all for the good of the people she loved so much. He rarely thinks about his own interests, always belonging to many people who became Ayu's priority.

“Are you sure? Otherwise I'll take you back.” Ayu smiled. “Do not worry, all will be fine.” Ayu just smiled, her tongue my tongue could not and did not know what to say. His heart is beating pretty fast.

Ayu holds Malik back from taking him to class. Ayu does not want Malik constantly burdened with Ayu family problems. He had already suffered enough with the heavy burden that had been on his shoulders all this time. He just doesn't talk, but Ayu understands how hard Malik has worked to maintain and raise his company. The responsibility is very big, now the time is much seized because it takes care of him.

“Come.” Malik doesn't leave until Ayu is out of sight. The girl's grown up. He can solve his problems alone. But still something stuck in Malik's heart. It felt like I could not leave Ayu alone.

A warm smile greeted Ayu's arrival. Many of the classmates missed Ayu's presence. They all greeted Ayu one by one, Ayu had not come long enough after the news of his kidnapping. Everyone is worried because Ayu is a girl who is quite well known because of her kind nature to everyone.

Her friends even decorate the classroom welcoming Ayu's arrival today. Ayu felt moved because she was greatly appreciated. They all love Ayu.

“Thanks friends-tamen.” Everyone was moved to see Ayu very happy.

Jofan hugged Ayu tightly in front of his friends. All friends and classmates are no strangers to their closeness. There is a resemblance until all the children think Jofan and Ayu are relatives. No one questioned Ayu's identity.

The class starts normally, nothing suspicious or even makes Ayu uncomfortable. Everyone helped himself adapt easily in the school environment that Ayu left behind for a long time.

The smiles of his three best friends do not fade, they look very happy Ayu back in the middle of class. For a long time they had been out of touch, Ayu shut herself down until she forgot how much they loved her for who she was.

This afternoon Ayu and her three best friends want to eat in the school cafeteria, have long not eaten good food belonging to the school cafeteria. Initially ordinary, the four of them walked to the canteen while joking until Jofan noticed all the children who looked at him as if whispering. They're talking about Ayu. Ayu, Sandra and Melani are still unaware of what happened. They were still joking around laughing without paying attention to the surroundings.

“You guys first. I'll catch up.” The three nodded unsuspecting at all. Jofan is often suddenly disappeared and returned in a short time.

Jofan approached one of the students from the crowd who were talking about Ayu behind them. Jofan pulls his collar until the student does not wiggle. Pushing his body into the classroom so that his three best friends do not know Jofan hit a student.

“What you said. Don't talk about my best friend.” Jofan growled at the boys whispering and gossiping behind others like girls.

“I don't talk carelessly. I'm talking about Ayu's life story in the school mading.” Jofan let go of his grip. With all his might he ran to make sure what all the students were talking about did not reach Ayu's ears.

Jofan is late, Ayu, Sandra and Melani are currently standing in front of the mading. Sandra tried to attract Ayu not to read the entire story in it. Melani just cried not strong to see Ayu who was hit by various kinds of big stones in her life.

Ayu did not budge, her tears just escaped. Children who had been gossiping subsided instantly. Seeing Ayu standing in front of the mading makes all students decide to disperse themselves by themselves. They could not bear to see the tears of Ayu, the beautiful and kind little girl.

Jofan hugged Ayu in his arms. Jofan can't even hold back his tears. Jofan rips the contents of the short story that explains Ayu's life into small details. Ayu must be very surprised there are people who know as much detail and detail about who he is.

This time Ayu looks very tough, she can even master her emotions well. Just a moment Ayu sank into tears, she did not want to drag on thinking about the problem that had made her suffer the past few months.

But Jofan is just like Malik. Ayu's smiling face clearly did not look happy, she knew that Ayu was currently pretending. Jofan just follows what Ayu's decision is, trying not to ask how she feels right now. What is clear is that Jofan knows that at this time sadness covers Ayuna's soul.

Melani and Sandra who were usually very noisy so did not dare to make a fuss. They want Ayu to cry with them as she used to, not hide her sadness and pretend to be okay. It was all the more painful of having to cover up her true feelings.

“You guys why so quiet?” Ayu pulled the hands of her two best friends in her grasp. “Do not worry, all will be fine.” Ayu wiped the tears that escaped Sandra's eyes. “I've made peace with all this. I'd rather love you guys than have to keep hating myself.” Both of them heard Ayu's words.

Foolish girls, it should be Ayu who is crying. They even make the atmosphere upside down. Jofan could only look at his three best friends who were still cuddling in the middle of the school garden in the back.

After ordering a few meals, they enjoyed all the excellent dishes. All the problems that befell Ayu today seemed to disappear along with the hot air this afternoon. Ayu is always entertained when she is in the middle of her friends who know what to do when she is sad.

“I hope what happened today lest Brother Malik know well. He's been very troubled.” I hope no one talks about it. For sure Malik will be more sad and can not focus because he thinks about himself.

Ayu cries in Jofan's arms. Both of his friends are grateful Ayu vented her tears. Everything will feel light if his feelings can be shared with others. Don't suffer yourself, do everything that makes you suffer.

“It's okay, cry. Don't hold everything by yourself. You have me, I will always take care of you.” Melani and Sandra get emotional. They both hugged with tears.

The class is silent, Jofan does not bring Ayu back to the heat. Jofan is afraid that Ayu will be hit again. Melani and Sandra became quiet to make her friends sorry. They are always as crowded as music for solitude.

“Don't be sad, we all support you.” Melani and Sandra shed tears again seeing her classmates standing in front of her providing support.

“I know you're all smart kids. There is no way this atmosphere will change our friendship.” Jofan walked through the standing crowd.

“You don't deserve to be ostracized because it's not your fault. It's part of the past that makes you stronger.” A teacher who had just entered was feeling a very gloomy but loving classroom atmosphere. They strengthen each other like a family.

Jofan is very grateful because no one hates him and Ayu. This is a good beginning for him and Ayu to be accepted in the midst of people who have white souls, do not judge others for what incarnates them. All support that Ayu and Jofan can be strong to face their problems together.

It may be easy to accept the fact they are really sisters, so far they are very close. But it took a great deal of tolerance to accept that they were brothers and sisters whose birth Ayu was a mistake. They close their eyes and do not judge Ayu and Jofan with insinuations like other students do. It turns out that all this time the kindness that Ayu showed made others aware and honored not to be selfish with others.

Ayu was moved to hear that her friends cared so much about her. They make Ayu believe that she must be strong and make her heart accept all these fates that are part of her life.

“How is the class today?” Ayu was sitting in the car with Malik. Malik deliberately went home early to be able to accompany Ayu. There must be a lot he wants to tell you on his first day back at school.

“So, how can I hurt others? Can it cause problems?” Malik jerks. The feeling is not good.

Malik pulled over, he wanted to stare at Ayu's face as they spoke. “Does anyone want Ayu to tell me?” Ayu shakes. “Don't cover anything from me. You promised.” Ayu smiled. His face was so cheerful that Malik was astonished.

“Ah..... Sis, don't be too serious, Kaka will age quickly. I just want to know!” Ayu pushed Malik's body facing towards him to return to his car. Malik can not force that Ayu has been sweet like this.

“True nothing you cover.” Ayu blinked her eyes repeatedly expelling the worry that engulfed the man who loved her so much.

“I'll take you to eat at Rey's. She asked you to be Ana's best friend when she gets married.” Ayu's face instantly blushed. She was so happy to hear about the marriage news she had forgotten because of her strange life problems.

“I'm impatient.” Malik links his fingers with Ayu's small fingers.

A vehicle filled with happiness. Seeing the smile on Ayu's face, Malik was able to deal with all his problems instantly. There was no more burden on his head when he saw Ayu's radiant face this afternoon.

Not long before Malik and Ayu arrived in front of the restaurant. It's been a long time, Ayu used to rely heavily on Rey. Ayu was indebted and could not pay him up to any time. Rey's sister is very sincere, she looks cute but very considerate. Rey even takes care of all Ayu's finances with Malik.

Trings...tring....

The clinking sound of bells attached at the entrance of the restaurant. An officer who knew Ayu well ran up to her, giving her warm embrace and a happy feeling of seeing Ayu in good condition.

“Nai, we haven't seen each other in a long time.” Naila retreated when she saw the male who was a VIP customer in the restaurant standing behind Ayu while smiling.

“Do not be afraid, he's a good person.” Naila carved a polite smile on Malik. It was obvious how Naila cared about Ayu.

For some reason today makes Ayu a woman who is flooded with happy feelings. All the sadness and happiness come together. Tears that have drained his energy as if not in vain, I want to be happy, I will release all my burdens as the past.
