Smiles

Zon. His never ending smile, plastered on his face for a while.

His parents wonders why.

He was asked to show his bag.
Usually he would run to his room hugging his bag.
But today he gave it to his mom.

His parents and sister looked at each other.

"I will find out" his sister said and get Zon's bag from their mom's lap.
Then her phone vibrated.

She giggled when she saw the photo sent to her. She excitedly show it to their parents.
Their mom chuckled but their dad shook his head.

"His grades?" his dad said in a raised voice.
His sister opened the bag and saw the tutor's note.
She showed it to their parents.

It tells about his interests and improvements in his studies and grades.

His father nooded.
"Is the one in the picture the tutor?" Mom asked.

"No mom, the tutor is p' Tor, he is good. And the one in the photo is P' Saifah his inspiration."
She said.
She fixd Zon's bag and run to his brother.

"Dinner in 10 minutes!" Their mom shouted.

"P' Zon open your door na P, i got your bag." She knock annoyingly.

Zon  opened his door and grabbed his bag. But her sister swayed it away.
"Did P'Sai, tutor you today?" She asked. He opened his door. His sister went inside.

He nooded with poker face.

Their mom again callled for dinner.

Zon grabbed his siter's hand and pulled her to the dinning.

Zon is silent and ate quietly.

"Zon!" His dad said.
He looked at his dad.

"How was school?" Dad asksd.

Zon swallowed his food and answered.
"It is fine." He said boringly.

"Any news?" His mom asked.

"Just ask my sister she knows everything, i am just good at nothing."  He said and get up.excused himself and went to his room.

That phrase originally came from his dad.
That what made him down a year ago.
And he tries to get up and recover thanks to his friends and P' Tor.

He brushed his teeth and shut himself.

He might be happy when he is on his way home, but when he reached his room and remembered his bag is on his parents hands. His mood changed. Several knock on his room. But he did not respond.

He shut himself.

The next day. He waked up and prepared for school. Then almost run to go.

"Zon, have some breakfast first." His mom said.

"I am fine mom, thanks." He said and smiled.

"Just a minute." His mom said.

He sighed.

"Zon, dad and i talked and you are back on line. Now you can pursue your novel." Her mom said excitedly.

He smiled.
"Thanks mom but i for now, i don't need it." He said and he kiss his mom's cheeks and went on.

He walked till he reached the van station it is few meters away from their block. His sister followed him.
"P' Zon, wait." She shouted finally. He halted but did not look at his sister.
