Hello, Ex

Chapter 29

Bu Habibah was unable to answer the question of the Word. He just switched the subject.

“So that woman has already complained to you! Whatever Salma told you, did she say bad things about Mom?!”

“Clearly Salma told the Word. She's the future wife of the Word, Mom! He respects Sabda.”

"Basar women do not know themselves" muttered Bu Habibah, nagging.

“Didn't the Word often say the same mother, so as not to regulate the life of the Word!”

“Sat!” shouted Abibah's mother as the Word passed from before her.

"If my mother hasn't changed. Forever, the Word will never set foot in this house again! Remember well, Mom!" The word was ready to pass, but when he remembered one thing, he turned back to face his mother. "And remember, no more cursing Salma! It's the same way you want to make it hard for me!" the message, then, passed from the kitchen area.

The word sauntered towards his memory room with Salma. When I got there, I saw Aundy opened his eyes wide. The girl was busy closing her ears, as if she did not want to hear anything happening outside the room.

Sabda felt guilty seeing Aundy's behavior like that. He tried to ease the fear that Aundy was now experiencing.

"Dad thought, Ody hasn't woken up yet!" word Sabda as she caught up with Aundy lying on the foam mattress.

Slowly Aundy kept his hands away from the ears. “Why Mbah princess gets angry, Yah?”

“No papa, it's because of a recalcitrant father!” answer the Word, even though he was being hard on his mother, honestly he also did not have the heart to see Bu Habibah like that. He was forced to do so because he had run out of ways to melt the heart of Bu Habibah.

“No, Ody knows, surely the princess wants to make father and mother quarrel again, right?” aundy Refute.

Word chuckled while pinching Aundy's cheek. Suddenly there was a sense of wanting to hug Aundy's body. "Dad hug, dong!" pinta Sabda, weld.

Aundy seemed to understand. She wrapped her little hand around the waist of the Word. Exactly like Salma's attitude which is always a place to lean when tired. "Dad don't be sad, there's still Ody and mommy!"

Sabda patted Aundy's lower shoulder from his body. He laughed again as Aundy's index finger tickled his waist. “Later, if Ody is already big, do not bangkang same father and mother say yes. What you're doing right now isn't good to copy! Dad promised Ody, would not interfere in choosing a mate. As long as the man is willing to accept everything that is on you, he loves you too, father promises to bless your relationship.” The voice of the Word rang out, there was sadness mixed with regret that was now felt.

Aundy responded with laughter, girls his age are not so thinking of a soul mate. But his father's words will always be remembered by him. “Dad, what if Ody is big will be prettier than mother? Can Ody be a Jakarta artist?”

“If it is beautiful it is sure, but not beautiful you should have! Anyway, you do not need to be an artist, do you want to eat just have to call a reporter to be interviewed?”

“Continue, Ody so what, Yah!”

“So dad's son. Accompany the father of the same mother to old.”

“Ih, Ody time so small continue, yes, not fair.” Aundy started nagging.

The word kissed Aundy's forehead. "Ody."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good father to you. It should be at your current age, there's a dad who's always looking after you."

"No papa, Ody will have a mother Salma who could be a father also for Ody. Anyway, said Salma's mother, father there work. Make pay for Ody school. Yeah, right?!"

The blood flow of the Word rippled upon hearing Aundy's explanation. His guilt is increasing. “Finely, Ody wash your face first, we go home to the house of Salma yuk. Earlier mother also had been angry to ask Dad to make anterin Ody go home.”

Until a moment later, his daydream was scattered by a splash of water thrown by Aundy. The word now changed into entering the bathroom. Ask her daughter not to come out of the room.

As they exited the house, Aundy continued to walk behind the body of Sabda. His death showed fear, just in case the grandmother would devour him alive. Though Bu Habibah no longer shows the trunk of his nose.

Before going to Arif's house, Sabda brought Aundy to the restaurant to enjoy breakfast. Worried about being picked up by Salma, for forgetting to feed Aundy.

The two of them also stopped for a while to the rice warehouse owned by Mr. Ageng. Beware, because maybe later tonight they will return Kulonprogo. Aundy was reluctant to be invited home, he actually stuck with the grandfather who was counting the rice stock that had just come.

“Sabda, give me Salma's address, so that later if you miss Ody, you can visit there.”

Sabda. "I'll send you a message later, Dad." Before parting Sabda hugged the body of Mr. Ageng tightly. “Don't be too hard at work, Dad!”

Mr. Ageng patted the shoulder of the Word. “If not hard work there is nothing I can leave for you,” reply Pak Ageng.

“Sabda can self-find. The word is already big, the word only needs a prayer from Father that may be given the best way for the problems I currently face,” reply to the Word and then release the arms of Mr. Ageng.

"Yes, that's for sure. Please be patient, you will also help me persuade mother!"

Sabda nodded, "thank you, Dad!" he said he then led Aundy into the car.

“Feed Mbah Kung.” Aundy waved his hand towards Mr. Ageng. He just closed the glass window after the warehouse Mr. Ageng not seen again.

The word that saw Aundy's attitude could only help but laugh. "Sadly, did you split up with Mbah kung?"

Aundy nodded.

"Later if the big Ody often - often visit the house Mbah yes! Must have been a really good snack."

Again Aundy nodded.

"Ody want to stop by to buy something?!"

"No, Ody wants to go home."

Sabda also directs his car to the house of Mr. Arif.

After traveling for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance alley of Mr. Arif's house. Sabda lowered his car speed when he saw a car stop in front of Mr. Arif's house.

As the distance gets closer, the car becomes clearer in detail. Slowly the Word began to recognize who the owner of the car was.

"Dad, it's Papa Farhan's car."

Aundy's remarks further clarified the suspicion of the Word. In his heart wondered, why did he come here?

"Dad, what papa Farhan—"

"That's not gonna happen, Ody!" cut the Word, as if not accepting the reality that will happen in the house of Mr. Arif.
