Hello, Ex

Chapter 16

Salma was still unmoved under the thick blanket that was full overnight warming her body. Now it's not just his heart that's riled up. He felt physically not okay either. The perceived hot temperature made her white face look paler than usual. This morning, he had trouble waking up.

The heart wants to get back to rest. But the little girl who had been up since this afternoon, now actually went into the room.

"Mother! You didn't come last night, Bun?"

Salma shook her head slowly.

"Mother, wake up in the afternoon!" pinta Aundy, seeing Salma was busy closing her eyes, not usually the mother lazing like this.

"Let's go, Ody. Mother is still sleepy!" rejecting Salma, he closed his eyes again.

"Aren't the shops closed, Bun?"

"open. There's still Arun and your papa. Please tell me you're not feeling well anymore."

"The mother is sick?" curiosity made Aundy endlessly wonder.

"Just not feeling well. It will also heal after taking the medicine!" Salma explained, so that Aundy does not worry excessively. "Udah, Ody came out first even later when he got sick!" ask Salma. Hoping that the reaction shown by his body at this time is only the impact of dysmenorrhea that is now felt.

Yes, indeed since the examination of obstetricians in Semarang, Salma has not had time to check the condition of his body again. In addition to fear, he was worried that a small cyst that had once existed, had reappeared in his uterus.

Seeing that Aundy was out, Salma quickly entered the bathroom. Salma shook her head when it felt the same as it did when she was young pregnant, nausea, stomach acid rose, head dizziness, not to mention cramps in her stomach. The difference is, he is currently coming by the moon.

"Salma!" someone was busy knocking on the door. "Sal, are you sick?"

"It's not good." Salma's feeling was already screaming answering someone's question out there. But the voice that came out of his lips was still soft.

When he re-entered the room, now the figure of Farhan who yesterday disappeared from circulation suddenly just sat at Aundy's study table.

"Mas Farhan?! Why?" he was confused to see Farhan watching him closely. Is there anything Farhan wants to talk about?

"You sick? Let me take you to the doctor!"

"No need, Mas. Take the medicine later. I just asked Mas Farhan to give me some time off. It was my own fault last night I stayed up till night." Salma faked a smile, hoping Farhan would come out soon and he could close his eyes, his head started to feel heavy again, his eyes started to glow.

"Are you sure I don't want to take you to the doctor?"

"No, my mom! How was it, yesterday was it also sick, has it healed?"

Farhan who was looking at Salma looked up. He turned his eyes, looking far away at the beach. "Hm, of course! Where long-lasting disease entered my body." Farhan turned. "Then I go out first! Let Aruni bring you breakfast."

Seeing Farhan had closed the door, Salma quickly dropped his body on the bed. He didn't know what was going to happen outside the room.

...----------------...

"Bak Arun, Ody's father is handsome, right? Now you know that Ody has a real father?!"

The woman who was replacing Salma sat at the cashier's table just nodding her head. Coincidentally at nine in the morning the tavern was still quiet, so the two of them could chat freely.

"Bak Arun knows! Dad said he wanted to get Ody on a plane!" his words while recounting the promise spoken by the Word.

"Gee!" Aruni looked enthusiastic. "Can you come along?" goda.

"Yes, no. Mother people also come. We're going to go three. Rich first."

"It must have lied to your father!" again Aruni teased Aundy.

Huh ... Aundy turned towards the main door of the shop. That's true what Aruni said. Because until this moment the father has not seen him again. Is it possible that the man left her and the mother again?

The store began to crowded, Aundy was still waiting for the arrival of the Word who did not know when it would arrive. Unfortunately until the sun tilts west, the man who is expected never to come.

"Where to play out, Ody! Or see mother Salma. The fever has gone down yet!" pinta Farhan when he knew all day Aundy looks so moody.

"No way."

"Ody had a shower?" ask Farhan, again.

"No shower."

"So girls can't be lazy, don't be embarrassed if there are male customers coming!" farhan Goda.

"Father huh! Papa better take a walk Ody! Buy a hair tie, a cut, or a shirt!"

Farhan smiled wryly, he waved, asking Aundy to come closer. "Why should papa, isn't there your dad now?"

Aundy's face was back. "If you don't want to be papa, don't bring your father's name dong!"

"The story of the game?!"

"No!"

The man approached Aundy, as Aundy did not approach him. "You want to come with papa?" bargained for.

"Where, Pa?"

"To mama's tomb. Tomorrow you have to go back to Malang. Papa wants to say goodbye first."

Aundy ran small, took his hat and followed Farhan's steps outside the store. The girl looked so carefreely walking beside Farhan stepping towards the motor parking lot.

Obviously, Aundy chose to sit in front, things that should not be done when riding a motorcycle with the mother of Salma. Because he has grown up, so afraid that later cover the view of the mother. But with Farhan's father, the man allowed it.

Arriving at Astrid's grave the two sat crouched to the right of the left mound of earth. Aundy understood Farhan was praying for Astrid's mama so she chose silence. The sound of crying from Farhan made Aundy look in wonder at the figure of the man.

"Did papa just see a ghost, why was his cry so loud?" Ask Aundy, curious. The feathers began to stand, afraid to remember the place they visited was famous haunted.

"Aundy, love it! Mama Astrid can't be a ghost."

"But my mom died in an accident!"

"Hm, but that doesn't mean you're a ghost." Farhan wiped his tears. "Aundy—do you remember what mom said that day?" tanya Farhan tried to make sure.

Aundy fell silent, re-playing the memory recordings that were once stored in his memories. Where Astrid's mother told Farhan's father, that he might marry Salma's mother but not love her. "Pap—papa ...."

"No, papa, Aundy! No need to remember."

"But now dad has come—we'll be a happy family."

Farhan nodded. "But Aundy knew Astrid's mother's last message."

"Papa should marry my mother. For the sake of baby sister—so that papa and mama have a baby sister. Then after coming out, you will send mama and Ody to Jakarta. Will you do that too?"

"Aundy, that's not what papa wants. But, papa wants it slow. And I don't want to pretend anymore. If there used to be a mother Astrid who forced papa. But now, papa intends to pursue mother Salma. Do you agree, honey?" Farhan was not willing to listen to the Sabda and Salma debate yesterday. He hoped that after showing his seriousness Salma would melt and accept it.

"Don't you want to go back to Malang?" ask Aundy.

"Father will bring parents, so that they help papa to melt the mother of Salma."
