Chased Om Om

Wrong Who

"Tiara, do you have a boyfriend?"

What am I supposed to say? What is the correct answer. It is never taught in any subject at school.

"There is no om. Tiara doesn't want to date before work." May this answer be true I say in my heart.

"Om, let's see if we want to talk to ourselves. Tiara ga konsen. Don't understand the story."

"OK, okay. We're watching." Om Alfred laughed while patting my thighs.

Irritated, yes. Crying, yes. I shouldn't have wanted to be seen without Aunt Ratna. If aunt says she can't watch.

After that I was silent, trying to focus on the movie that was going on even though I knew, the om was looking at me.

The movie ends, and the lights are turned on. All the spectators immediately descended. Om Alfred held my hand, held me.

"Give them a chance to get down first. We're not in a hurry, are we?"

And I sit back.

The last visitor came down, as I stood up. Om Alfred stood up, holding my shoulder to walk down and out of the showroom.

"Tiara, it's six o'clock. We all eat yuk. Oh, um, I want sushi."

"OKe om. After that we go straight home yes, I have to learn, om. Tomorrow's the exam."

"Yes. We go straight home."

Not much happened at the sushi restaurant. So I just skip ya. After that, he kept his promise. We home.

"Tiara, you don't want to be your girlfriend" said Om Alfred on his way home.

I looked at him. Indeed, it must be admitted. Om Alfred is included in the criteria of a handsome man. Her body was tall and slim, with her skin pure white. At his ripe age, he looks out of proportion to his age. Yeah, he looks younger. Who would reject a handsome man who was quite well established.

But I have to be conscious. She's Aunt Ratna's lover. He is half my age, however.

Suddenly Om Alfred stopped and parked his car on the side of the road.

He patted my thigh.

"Why don't you answer, Tiara."

"Om, you shouldn't ask me to be your girlfriend. Because om is Aunt Ratna's lover. I am the nephew of my lover."

"Tiara, Aunt Ratna is just a friend of om's office. We're close friends. And I like you the same."

"But om, I'm the same age I'm far away."

"Tiara, age is not a human measure to love each other. We'll just walk."

"Tiara wants to go home, om. It's night. Where haven't learned yet."

Alfred's driving his car back to my house. Ah, I don't know why I'm involved in a situation like this.

"Om, thank you for watching and eating sushi."

"Yes, equally. Tomorrow I'll call you again, brother gedhe" said Om Alfred.

I went straight into the house, without an answer. Ahhhh, I want to learn. Ogah thought about om.

"Where's it from?" ask mama

"Tante Ratna same Om Alfred naktir watch, ma. But the tantenya can't come. Saying that overtime."

"Other times if you want to get out permission first. Let mama not be confused looking for you."

"Tiara said he wanted to watch. Mama didn't hear, kali. It was like mama cooking in the kitchen, ma."

"Tadi Tiara said, no night home kok ma, because Tiara must study, tomorrow there is a test. Mom kept saying, yes."

"Yes already, yes already. Study there. Have you eaten?"

"It's ma."

I'll go to my room immediately.

Ting!

The damar? Yes that's the difference, students and those who have worked. As much as any love and anything Damar, will not be able to give Om Alfred. Damar is still with allotments from his parents, and he also has to focus on his school grades.

At school.

"Tiara, there's news" said Shella running up to me.

"What news? Relax Shel. Take a breath first."

"Sir Anwar and Damar's father. Damar's father went to school. He was so angry. I heard, Damar ain't at this school because of Mr. Aldi."

"Obviously angry, he just entered this school, already paid a fortune. Eh made no hard."

"Because?"

"Otherwise we wait for the fate of Mr. Ardi and Damar."

"I think the goddess Fortuna is on your side again, Tiara. Mr. Anwar must have believed your words. Because it's been proven, Damar alone is not kerasan because of Mr. Ardi."

"Hahaha, goddess fortuna. Can aja. Don't be too poetic. Ntar was told to make a poem also the same Mr. Ardi."

"No, I'm what I am." elak Shella.

"But hold on, Shel. Where is the damar now?"

"Bih, attention tumben. He went on a school strike. Or actually not because of Mr. Ardi huh. Maybe out of desperation to pursue your love, but you can't" said Shella who immediately got a pinch from me.

"You are, I love it, I love it. But what is it?"

"Shels. Feeling, Damar never said like it or ask me to be his girlfriend, deh."

"Darling, you're not so sensitive. There are people who love but cannot express it with words. But he does so with all his attention and deeds. There is only omdo. Ombong. I can say it but I can't prove it. Well, there are also those who can talk about their feelings and according to their actions. This last species is rare and needs to be preserved."

"The one-horned rhino dong" I said chuckling.

"That's a big bump you Shel. Full of experience. Good mentor." I continued with a clap that was immediately rewarded with a soft snout in my head.

"Shels. I got scared. How try, if Mr. Ardinya knows that I made a complaint."

"Hush. Must think positive. Damar's father protested. It has nothing to do with you."

"Well, what do I do when I see him?"

"Udahlah. You're a theater boy. You should be able to play the role of innocently not knowing what."

"Oh that's it. Can I do it?"

And true. When I got home from school, a motorcycle followed behind me. Then greet me.

"Near! How are you." om-om it's unlocked his helmet.

"Good sir."

"It looks like we won't see you again soon" said Mr. Ardi.

"Why sir?"

"The father will move to teach in another city. You got a teaching call in your hometown."

"Ooh..."

"You learned well. Don't lazy. And keep developing your talent."

"Ready sir. I continue the road, sir. Hot." I immediately nodded because my house was very close and the sun at two o'clock was shining.

Turns out Mr. Ardi was after me. His motorcycle parked on the side of the road.

"Pearl, wait. This is your poetry book. I give it back."

"No sir. No need. Mr. Ardi can take it as a memento. Tiara's already using a new book."

"Come here then. I also want to give you a memento, Tiara. You like to read novels, right?" the teacher said while presenting a novel with a woman's cover image and the big writing "Love is Never Wrong"
