Restore Your Smile

The Smile and the Voice I've been waiting for

Half of the student lives Dion and James have lived together. Each semester-end vacation, the two return to their respective hometowns. They will meet again at the beginning of the new semester.

As usual at the beginning of the semester, student activities have not been solid. This afternoon, James was able to move back to the dormitory.

Actually his college friends invited him to berhedon ria after college hours were over. James refused it. He still has to save for the next month. Understandably, he came from a middle family, not like most of his friends who came from the sultan's family.

In the room, James was indulging himself by playing games on gadgets. Until he is surprised by Dion's return at an unusual hour.

Not yet had James asked the reason his friend came home earlier this time, Dion had already preceded him with the question, "Hi, bro .... You busy?"

"Nope. Just playing a game."

"Is there a certain activity or plan throughout the afternoon until tonight?" continued Dion.

"Nope. Why why?" James asked back.

"You want a cave?" ask Dion while grinning. There was enthusiasm coming from his eyes.

" Where to?"

"Meet the cave brother! Big brother of dateng cave, bro !! This time it was the cave!! If you don't have a job, go to the cave, yuk!!" bring Dion on fire. His eyes sparkled to tell him the happy news.

Looking at this Dion, James could only follow the grin and say, "Gas, bossss ...."

...****************...

Dion booked a taxi online to drive them to their destination. About 10 minutes later, the taxi they booked arrived in front of the dormitory.

"As per the application, sir," Dion told the driver, as soon as they entered the car.

"Ready, Sir !" replied the short driver. Without making small talk, the driver immediately drove his car at medium speed and split the road.

James was shocked when the taxi they were riding stopped in front of a five-star hotel. But he could only follow Dion who had without a doubt entered the hotel.

Dion immediately headed for the elevator in the lobby, hitting the number 15 while inside. Then he and James together searched room 1525, as soon as the elevator arrived on the floor they were headed to.

They finally found the room at the end of the hall. After being in front of the room, Dion pressed the bell next to the door. Shortly thereafter, the door was opened by a woman who appeared to be elderly.

"Bok Yani !!" call Dion while hugging the old woman.

"Walk is safe, isn't it, Mbok?" dion asked in the same position.

"Faith, Young Master .." replied the woman who was called Mbok Yani, while smiling warmly at Dion.

Young Master??!!! Dion was called 'Young Master' ?? James tried to convince her that he had not heard wrong.

Then Dion releases his embrace, then introduces James to Mbok Yani.

"Mbok, this is Dion's roommate Dion told me about. Still remember?" dion said as he pointed at James. Mbok Yani simply replied with a nod of his head.

"James, this is Mbok Yani. She's been taking care of me and my sister since we were kids. He was already my Foster Mother," said Dion moved to introduce Mbok Yani to him.

"Greetings, Mbok .." said James awkwardly.

"Yes .. yes .. yes .... Greetings too, son. Come on, don't just stand in front of the door! Please come in, Young Master. James son too, come on in!" bring Mbok Yani.

The room they entered was a Residence room with luxurious facilities and interior design. The room has 2 separate bedrooms, a bathroom, a dining room, a kitchenette, and a spacious living room, where they are sitting right now.

Seeing this all, James began to believe that Dion really came from among the sultans. He also realized that since meeting Mbok Yani, Dion's style of speech changed, back to the beginning of their meeting. Apparently at the time, Dion was not as polite as James had alleged. But indeed Dion was accustomed to the subtle speech that showed from which degree it came.

"Where's the line, Mbok?" Dion's voice breaks James' daydream, though it is not him who is asked.

"Still get ready in his room, Young Master. Wait a minute, let Mbok call," replied Mbok Yani as he walked towards a door.

"No need, Mbok. Let Dion wait." Hearing that, Mbok Yani stopped his steps.

"Then, excuse me, Young Master." After saying so, Mbok Yani then turned towards the kitchen. There, the old woman prepared a drink for Dion and James, then returned to the living room.

As Mbok Yani was serving drinks, Dion said to him in a quivering voice, "Mbok .... Thank you ... for helping convince papa so Celine's allowed here."

"Don't do it, Young Master. It's Miss Celine's own will. This is all Mbok can give as a birthday present for Miss Celine," Mbok Yani replied as he lightly patted Dion's back. Mbok Yani knows very well Dion's feelings at the moment.

When the conversation happened, the door of the room that was addressed by Mbok Yani opened. A beautiful teenage girl with two braided hair, steps out of there. But his steps immediately came to a halt, as his eyes caught an unfamiliar figure in the living room.

Dion, who saw his sister had appeared, immediately approached his sister, hugged her, and kissed her cheeks. "Happy birthday, my dear sister .... Sorry, your money is not enough to buy gifts. Later, wait for payday brother."

"Oh yes, here you introduce to the roommate Brother that Brother told you about," continued Dion while holding his sister walking towards James.

Arriving in front of James, Dion introduces Celine to him, "James, meet .. This is my sister, Celine. FYI yes, today is his birthday, .." said Dion, twisting his eyes.

Hearing that, James immediately reached out his hand and said, "Hey .... Greetings .... Happy birthday to you ...."

But instead of welcoming James' hand, Celine turned her back and tightened her body behind Dion's back. His hand gripped Dion's shirt tightly. Seeing his sister's response, Dion felt bad for James.

" No problem. Just relax," James replied understandingly, then pulled back his hand.

Then Dion faced Celine and said softly, "Lin .... This is Brother's friend .... Name's James. Going forward, Celine can call him 'Sister James' ...."

" 'Any 'Bang James', Di! Gatel cave ears called 'Sister' ." James is soon to be ready.

"Oh .. okay .... We replace. Call him 'Bang James' yes Lin .... We're trying to slowly become familiar, okay?" which was answered with a nod by Celine.

"Well .... Now .... Ready for the zoo?" dion asked with a big smile. Hearing that, Celine's eyes immediately twinkled and nodded her head excitedly.

Dion and Celine walked towards the exit, followed by James behind them. After arriving at the door, Dion's steps stopped because he realized Mbok Yani did not come out.

"Loh .... Mbok .... Not coming?" ask Dion to Mbok Yani.

"No need, Young Master. Let the young ones have fun. This old grandma just let it rest here" replied Mbok Yani.

"Yes already then .." said Dion who realized that the activity of exploring the vast zoo, could be very tiring for Mbok Yani.

"We go first yes, Mbok .... Immediately call Dion if you need something well .." he said again to Mbok Yani.

"Yes .... Don't worry about Mbok. The important thing is that you are also careful and take care of yourself .." said Mbok Yani as he waved his hand, which was also replied by the three young people. Then the three left.

...****************...

At the zoo, the sisters look friendly. Celine always walked in Dion's hand. Even sometimes, the hand was pulled to immediately follow him towards the animal cage he wanted to meet. Dion just laughed and resignedly followed his sister's tilt.

Celine's hand was seen several times pointing at an animal in the cage, which Dion tried to follow. Sometimes Celine whispers something into Dion's ear, which seems like a question about animals, because then Dion answers by giving an explanation about the beast.

At other times, Dion's replacement teases her sister, which continues the scene of Celine hitting her brother's chest that has chuckled. It looks like these two brothers are enjoying their moment together.

James noticed all of that with a sincere smile. He felt the happiness of his roommate. He also realized Celine's attitude changed 180° from the attitude James saw at the hotel earlier. Here, Celine looks very excited, so cheerful, smiles a lot and laughs (of course to Dion, not to him).

As she ran around while exploring area after area in the zoo, Celine's cheeks became reddish in color. This certainly adds to her beauty. This small phenomenon also did not escape the attention of James.

After a long time they explored, they finally arrived at the food court area near the exit. Thirst makes them decide to stop for a while before going home.

After finding a seat, their eyes went around looking at the menus listed above each booth that presents a variety of options.

When they made their own choices, Dion asked his sister to go to a drink counter. Of course this request made Celine's eyes widen.

James also did not think about Dion's behavior. Did his friend forget that his sister was very shy? He immediately offered to replace Celine. However, Dion was able to capture James's intentions and immediately provided a code not to interfere.

"Cin .... Please Brother yeah .... Feet Sister pegalll once .... So, please Celine who ordered drinks well .... Avocado juice for Brother, melon juice for Bang James, and Celine's favorite strawberry juice. Okay?" dion said again, while extending some money to Celine.

Celine seemed hesitant to accept the request. His face showed a clear reluctance.

"Come .... Lin has grown up lo .... I have to learn to be brave a little. Speaking of which, it's short, just say 'Sir, order avocado juice, melon juice, strawberry juice. One each'. It's already! That's all! After that, Lin was able to directly return here. Can, right?" persuade Dion.

Despite the hesitation, Celine finally nodded and stretched out her hand to take the money. With heavy steps, he ventured towards the counter in question.

"It's also hard how you educate your sister, bro !" james said as soon as Celine left.

"Yes .... How else would you like? The cave can't be on Celine's side forever, right? Sooner or later, he has to learn to be brave and independent" Dion said. James nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Dion and James saw Celine walking back towards them. But instead of returning to her seat, Celine instead stood by James' side. That left James and Dion confused. What's the matter? But they decided to wait for Celine to say it herself.

Long enough Celine just stood still with her head bowed. Until finally he managed to open his mouth, "Ba-his father said, melon juice runs out. So, Bang James ... drink it .. what do you want to replace?" he said a little bit.

James stunned. But she appreciates Celine's efforts to get her to talk.

"Replace strawberry juice like Celine. Sorry well ... it's been a hassle for Celine to have to reorder," replied James gently, following Dion's style.

Celine smiled at James' reply, then went back to the drink counter earlier.

"James .... James .... Woii James !!" call Dion who makes James surprised. James did not realize that he had been glued to Celine, until he did not know that Dion had asked him to speak.

"Woi, bro .... If you are fascinated with people, do not be bengong gitu also kalee .... New possession know the taste of lo !!"

"Bu-not that, Di .... The cave is just shocked. The cave is not expected to ..."

"What t-shirt?" ask Dion full of questions.

"Kalo adek lo was able to talk," replied James finishing his sentence.

"Byong lo !!! So all this time you thought the cave was mute ?!!!" dion was trying to strangle James' neck.

"God, Bang .... Forgiveness !!" james replied while trying to evade.

Actually it's not that, Di .... The actual cave intent, ga ga nyangka if the sound of adek lo semerdu and as soft as that. The cave also did not expect if adek lo can smile into the cave. But can't the cave say that frankly in front of you ? James in his heart.
