Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 82 (The Injured Heart)

The first day the kids go back to school. Seeking knowledge to broaden horizons. Carry out various achievements for future life in the community.

Ayu was very enthusiastic about her first day of school. In this second grade he had to part with his two best friends. Only Jofan is one class with Ayu.

Surely the class will be quiet without joking Melani, she can always build an atmosphere to be crowded and alive.

"Why are you so tense? Wanna fight?" Malik stared at his cute little girl.

"Not tense Brother, just a little insecure." Plus his two best friends are not there.

During this time many looked strangely at Ayu, she was different from other children.Prestasinya so many sometimes cause question marks. He even got a scholarship very easily.

They do not know Ayu's struggle to convince the school to give him a scholarship.

Ayu studies during the night, works and sometimes forgets time for herself. He even fainted a few times due to exhaustion. His little body carried so much weight.

But all his friends and closest people even forget what Ayu experienced. They fall asleep because Ayu always brings happiness wherever she is.

Malik this morning happily drove Ayu to school. Along the way he remembered how they had met for the first time.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"What's the matter?" Malik was astonished by Ayu's question.

"You smile to yourself." He said softly, it can only be heard by Ayu herself.

"Ah.hehehe, no Brother. Focus Kak, danger that Kak Malik is out of focus." Malik frowned feeling suspicious.

"Don't ask me for help. Now you are my responsibility." Malik said without looking at Ayu, still focused on the road that started to jam.

Look, he was smiling to himself. And now his words are very wise. Is he sick, huh? Ayu is worried that Malik is possessed.

"You hear?" Why is this kid staring at me like that.

"I.iya Brother. I get it." Still a little worried.

Traveling in the laughter of the radio announcer who talked, some songs came to color the jam-packed journey in this morning.

Malik did not leave immediately after dropping Ayu off. He was looking for the principal who now knew who Ayu was.

Tok.dok...

Malik's head appeared from behind the door.

Stop the conversation of the principal with a teacher.

"Can I come in? Sorry to interrupt." Malik entered without shame before being invited.

"Of course Malik, please." There was still sadness on the headmaster's face even though it was hidden with a smile.

"I'm staying sir, I happened to lead the welcoming ceremony of the new students today."

"Yes, please. Please say my regards." The headmaster is still unable to see his baby standing among other students with happiness.

He chose to hide and not show his presence. It'll only make him sicker. Especially so far Ayu has always been the pride of the school because of his achievements.

"Have you been better? I'm sorry I didn't wait until Father woke up."

Malik knew the Headmaster for a long time, he was a good man who was a little fragile through the course of his life.

"It's okay, I'm healthy. Look at!" Raising both of his hands, showed just how healthy he was currently.

"I know it's going to be okay with time. Please give Ayu a little longer." The headmaster patted Malik's hand.

He knows exactly what Malik is trying to say. Everyone wants to protect someone valuable. Just like he did.

"If there's anyone I can trust to look after my daughter. It's obvious you're the one. You're young, hardworking, and your family can take good care of my daughter." The corner of his eyes began to get wet.

"I'll take care of Ayu as best I can. He's very precious to me." Malik hugged an old body that was currently fragile to regret his actions.

His hands were trembling despite the smile not fading from his lips.

Ayu searches for the whereabouts of her three best friends. They were silent but they were not visible.

"You looking for someone? They're in the back row as usual." Jofan whispered in Ayu's ear.

Jofan was already standing behind Ayu.Ayu smiled, relieved that there were people who knew him.

After the ceremony is over, all students are admitted to their respective classes. Jofan walks with Ayu.

Walking slowly offset Ayu's footsteps that were not as wide as her footsteps.

“Jofan, sit next to me only.” Ayu glanced at Jofan with a smile.

It turns out that Jofan is very popular without his friends noticing. Jofan starts to get a little uncomfortable because the girls in this class are trying to get attention.

Jofan raised his hand, placing it on Ayu's shoulder slightly tightly. Ayu knows that Jofan is currently seeking protection from these girls.

“Pura just be my girlfriend.” Ayu glared at Jofan's words. Can't fight back, but Ayu is horrified to see the look in the eyes of the girls who are jealous of her.

“We're just the two of us in this class. Try Sandra, they must be all going away from Kak Jofan.” Sandra is the best.

“Tomorrow there is a fair in Kemayoran. You, Sandra and Melani can come? I'll introduce you to my Mom.” Jofan was happy when the fair came, he could meet Mama every day.

Usually Mama will be busy with all kinds of activities, there is no more time for her son. Since Arumi's departure, Jofan's family has been completely destroyed. They all felt guilty and dissolved into self-blame.

They do not realize there is Jofan who still needs affection from both of them.

“True, she must be a very beautiful woman.” Ayu is enthusiastic about Jofan's invitation.

“Just relax, I'll take Melani and Sandra.” Suddenly Ayu's face was a little sad.

“why?”

“I forgot that now that I am married, I have to ask permission from Brother Malik.”

“Later I'll talk to him.”

Though his guts were also shrunk in front of Kak Malik. Jofan was a little disinclined when he found out who Malik Saputra really was.

He was not an indiscriminate person like the one Jofan had in mind before. He has considerable power in the business and economic world of this country.

Jofan was even amazed when he read the personal profile of Malik Saputra. He was an ambitious young man who was able to build his business empire until it advanced as it is today.

Even his company helped many lay entrepreneurs who just started his career.

“Promise well, I dare not ask her permission. Her eyes are like trying to kill me if I misspoke.” Ayu was still not used to the sharp gaze of Kak Malik's eyes.

“Iya just relax.” Jofan is thinking of a way that Ayu can go with him. Jofan is proud because he currently has a friend who means a lot in his life.

***

A beautiful woman with a charming smile was sitting giving directions to her employees. Explain the duties of the employees during the exhibition.

For a long time Tina had not set foot in the homeland, many bitter memories that made her go far away and avoid the turmoil of her soul that always made her feel guilty.

“Bu sorry, here's a call from Rey.” An employee handed Tina's phone that rang. Tina is happy because her sister-in-law still loves her even though she is divorced with her kaka.

“Iya Rey, Sister Tina misses once.” A happy look on his face.

“Let's stop by Well, take Ana ya Rey.” Tina's terminated her phone.

Children who are victims of their divorce. Tina Sangt loves Rey like her flesh and blood. Since childhood, Rey has spent a lot of time with her. Rey who had been honey in bitterness that Tina lived.

I can't go back in time to fix everything. Their separation is the best way so that there are no more memories that tear the soul slowly.

Deciding on the hope of becoming a better person.

Tina and Ferdinan's relationship is still cordial, not their lost love. But they part ways because they are haunted by guilt that they cannot afford.

“You're coming sudan. Come in, I want to hear how Jofan has been living with you for 1 year. I miss him so much.” Ferdinan hugged the body of the woman he loved so much.

It is the most sinful man, but his regrets cannot bring things back to their normal state. A wounded heart is not that easy to come back to despite forgiving.

“Why are you so depressed? Is there a problem at school?” Tina massaged Ferdinan's wrist to relax a little.

“Nothing, all is fine.” Ferdinan still hid his sadness.

Not wanting to ruin the happy atmosphere of a mother who will meet her son after all this time.

Tina almost daily asks Ferdinan to report Jofan's activities to her. Although sometimes Ferdinan does not give news every time because of his busyness.

“He grew up to be a handsome and strong man like you.” Ferdinan hugged Tina, letting go of her longing all along.

“Thank you so much for taking care of him all this time. I owe you a lot.” Tina couldn't hold back her tears.

“You have to pay for it.”

“How to?”

“Back to me.” Tina hit Ferdinan's arm trying to seduce him. It is undeniable that Tina's love is so great for Ferdinan.

But their hearts could not be adrift due to the mistakes of the past. It's lasted long enough, trying to assume everything's fine, but it doesn't work.

The shadow of sin was so strong that they both gave up and walked on each other. For the sake of Jofan's happiness.
