Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 196 (Baked Meat)

Ayu was a little anxious when she entered the hospital, Malik's face was already unfriendly throughout the journey. Like hiding something, whether it's all probably just Ayu's worries. But it feels very uncomfortable. Malik noticed Ayu's sweaty hands until Malik's hands got wet.

“Why?” Malik clasped Ayu's hand tightly, wiping the sweat with his handkerchief. “You need to calm down, relax, baby. There's nothing you need to fear, trust me.” Ayu took a deep breath, following Malik's request asking him to be calmer.

Ayu entered slowly with a feeling that was still completely filled with worry. Seen Pure who was sitting on the edge of the bed looking out the window, Ayu approached her slowly so as not to surprise her.

“Mbak.” Pure still does not respond. “Mbak, this is Ayu Mbak.” Ayu sat in front of Pure looking at her face fixedly. Slowly Pure noticed Ayu's presence, Pure smiled kindly. “What are you thinking until you don't hear my voice?” Pure hugged Ayu, stroking Ayu's head very gently.

“You're healthy Yu?” Ayu nodded still in Pure embrace. “Thank God you're okay. Ma'am has succeeded in freeing Mas Ali from evil deeds. He will no longer be able to bother us.” Ayu did not answer, surely this incident will never be forgotten.

“Mbak already ate?” Purely shook his head. “Why not eat?” Purely pulled Ayu's hand up from her seat.

“Too here?” Adit entered carrying tentengan in both hands.

“Mas Adit is still here?” Ayu hugged Adit who had just entered. “Why Brother Malik didn't tell me!.” Malik was still outside the room talking to Adam and Sarah.

“Do not blame him, I even scolded him all out without knowing the reason he was holding me in the hotel where I was staying.” Ayu curious.

“Kak Malik is holding Mas Adit! Why?” Ayu sat with a very serious face.

“You see the bruise on his chin?” Ayu nodded. “I did it.” Adit's voice was full of regret. “He was just trying to protect all of us, I got carried away with emotions and didn't listen first to his explanation.” Adit smiled wryly. “You're so lucky to have Malik Yu, he doesn't just love you. He cares deeply for all of us.” Ayu wants to run away and hugs Malik who is very good to all his family.

Ayu comes to enjoy the food that Mas Adit bought, he has always been hungry lately. Adit smiled seeing Ayu more voraciously than Pure who had just recovered from illness.

“Ayuna!” Malik's voice made Ayu surprised to drop the banana in his hand.

“Yahhhh..Kaka nodded me.” Ayu picked up the banana and threw it into the trash can. Malik laughed happily managed to prank Ayu.

“It seems that now I can ask permission to bring Pure with me.” Murni had previously refused to join Aditya, but he also did not want to trouble Ayu and Malik if they remained in Jakarta. If he leaves Jakarta at least he will look for other ways to live independently as before.

“What Mas Adit has talked to Mbak Sekar?” Ayu embracing Pure is not bearable. “If Mbak Sekar keberantan I can keep Mbak Murni, Kak Malik will definitely not mind.”

“I've talked about it, Sekar gladly accepts Pure. He also has the responsibility of looking after her.” Ayu knew Pure's smile did not match her heart.

Mas Adit was not a person who could Purely follow, he had the burden of two children and his wife. His income was not even enough for him and his family. Ayu knows very well it feels to be a burden for others, he does not want Mbak Murni to experience what he experienced first.

“Relax dear, Mas Adit and I will do business cooperation. In the future you do not need to worry anymore about Mas Adit's company project. I will intervene to develop his business there.”

It is true what Mas Adit said, Malik did not just pay attention to himself. He was also very concerned about his extended family, he even bothered to handle his brother's small company that was still unstable. Ayu did not stop being grateful, finally one by one the problems they could go through.

Tonight Murni and Adit return to Surabaya. Pure is already healthy and can let go of her bitter past. Although heavy Ayu had to let them back, this atmosphere made him remember the Father and Mother who had not come for a long time or even just gave him news by phone.

It's not fair, for her sake both parents let themselves go not too close so that Ayu can get used to her real father's family. Whenever they will not be replaced.

“Sister, I'm hungry.” Malik wonders why Ayu likes to eat now. “Kak, let's eat at Kak Rey's restaurant. I want to eat his roast.” Malik cannot refuse.

“Good Mr. Princess. We stopped by yah.” Malik turned his car steering towards Rey's restaurant which had opened normally.

There was Adam and Sarah who today picked up Mahesa who had long been in the care of Ana Salama Sarah handled Pure until she was fully healed. Mahesa seemed very happy in Sarah's embrace.

“Hey.... You guys came too?” Sapa Ana welcomes the arrival of Malik and Ayu.

“Chew wants to eat grilled meat. He's so greedy An.” Ayu pouted at Malik. “No….No... I'm just kidding.” Malik hugged Ayu who looked like she was going to cry. He's very sensitive. Ana immediately asks the waiter to make Ayu's favorite food.

“Kak Ana.” Ayu pulled Ana's hand. Her voice was very soft, Ana looked at Ayu's face waiting for the next sentence with her friendly face. “I don't want to cook someone else, I want Kak Rey to make it.” Ana is somewhat surprised by Ayu's request. But Ayu could be very longing for Kak Rey's cooking.

“Why An. She's not eating?” Malik was surprised because the food was so long coming.

“Me and Sarah go home first. Kasian Mahesa must be very tired.” Ana kisses Mahesa before letting her go, and these days Mahesh fills her days with happy laughter. “When I'll stop by Ana, thank you very much.” Sarah is not worried about leaving Mahesa as long as Ana looks after her.

“Be careful on the road, cut it for a while.” Malik wants his two best friends to rest and recover the condition of his body that must be very tired.

“Just calm Al, we're fine. Ana who has to rest, she must be very tired of looking after our son who can't keep quiet.” Sarah felt guilty.

“No, he's a very good boy. Rey even wants to have children soon because she sees Mahesa who is very adorable. Hehehehe Everyone laughed happily.

After escorting Adam and Sarah, Malik and Ana to the top floor following Ayu who had gone up first. Malik was at peace when he saw Ayu falling asleep on the sofa, her face was very beautiful, her skin was clean and her aura exuded warmth for him.

“Why doesn't he eat? He came here very eager to eat roast meat, I did not pay attention to him.” Ana puts coffee on Malik.

“He wants to wait for Rey, Ayu only wants Kak Rey to make it.” Malik narrowed his eyes in astonishment.

“I didn't hear wrong? He usually never select An.” Ana raised both shoulders, she herself was astonished by Ayu's attitude.

“Just relax, I've contacted Rey to get home faster.” Ana opens the report and continues her piled up work.

Rey was very excited when she heard Ayu stop by and wanted to eat her homemade cooking. Rey bought the best quality meat for her to cook. When he arrived at the restaurant, Rey went straight to the kitchen and processed the meat he had bought immediately. He didn't want Ayu to wait too long. Rey made four servings, of course he also had to prepare the best food for his wife and for Malik.

The sound of the door creaking as Rey walked in carried the food she had prepared. “Do you guys wait long?” Ana shook her head, the shady face that was currently sleeping made Rey feel guilty for too long to come. “He must be bored waiting for me.”

“No, he's just exhausted Rey. I'll wake him.” Slowly Malik woke Ayu up, the smell of roasted meat that burst into his senses.

“I'm hungry...” A spoiled voice that Rey never once heard.

“Eat dear eat, Rey brother still have a lot of food if Ayu is still hungry.” Ayu devoured the stale no-nonsense food. Ana and Malik just shook their heads in surprise with****bw eat a very large Ayu. Rey painstakingly cuts the meat so Ayu can eat it easily.

“Still want again?” Malik offered her meat.

“No I've been satiated.” Ayu stroked her stomach as if full of cargo. “Let's brother go home, I have an appointment tomorrow with Sandra and Melani.”

“What promise Yu?” Ask Ana curiously. “You've finished the test?”

“Already Brother, I want to see some campus.” Ayu forgets not to tell Malik about his college plans. “Bby Kak?” Ask Ayu to Malik.

“Tomorrow Kak Malik there is a morning meeting until 11 noon. Tell Sandra and Melan, Kaka who will take you tomorrow to finish work.” Ayu almost jumped up in excitement.

“What Brother Ana can come with? Sister Ana was bored here all day.” Ayu nodded with a happy feeling.

Rey brought Ayu her favorite chocolate pudding, some of her homemade cookies and fresh fruits so that Malik would not bother shopping.

Just walk a few minutes Ayu has made a riot, he berusha grabbed a paper bag containing food in the back seat. Due to being careless, all the food in the paper bag spilled messily under the chair.

“Why not later dear, soon we also have arrived.” Ayu did not reply, her face turned sad and did not want to look towards Malik. Though Malik spoke in a low tone, he was not the least bit angry. Malik was confused because he did not know the girl next to him.

Is the feeling sensitive because of his separation with Pure Ma'am? Was he angry about something else?. Butwhat? I didn't do anything weird that made him angry!. Malik thought about the many possibilities that Ayu was experiencing in her.

While time seems to be better if he is silent, so according to Malik's adult thinking. Women should be given space when they are angry and unclear, let them think clearly and return to normal women as usual. Malik heard a lot about women lately, he had to prepare because Ayu was already a mature woman now.
