Hello, Ex

Chapter 8

Slowly Salma explained to the Word. About what happened to Aundy one year ago. Bad memories that made the girl suffered severe trauma until this second.

The girl who became the talking figure just kept quiet, rummaging through her meatballs. As for Sabda, his blood flow rippled, his hair sitting upright while imagining what happened to Aundy that day.

In his heart of gratitude, Aundy could still survive the fateful crash—if fate said otherwise I don't know what he could do at this time. Maybe he'll be ruined, same as Salma. Because Aundy is a form of love from them.

"Then we go to the doctor, Ody?! We go to therapy, I'll be with you." Sabda hugged Aundy again. "Ody didn't want to get on a plane? Ride the car again, we walk the three. Wanna?" Bujuk Word's. Hearing Salma's story often leads her to the doctor but ends up disappointed that Aundy refuses to enter, this time it is Sabda's turn to persuade her little daughter.

"Ody was afraid of being injected" he half-whispered.

The word rubbed Aundy's black mane, tidying up Aundy's scattered hair. "So you're afraid of injecting!" Sabda glanced towards Salma. "But, Ody—there was not injected, just asked the same doctor. Does Ody want a vacation to Bali? He said he'd go there with my mom and dad too!" The word remembered with that promise, he would never forget every promise that had been given to Aundy.

The girl seemed to think hard.

"Udah, don't be forced! There are things I haven't told you. Perhaps, it was also heavy for Ody to fight his fear. Just slow down!" pinta Salma, she hasn't told me about Farhan and Astrid's fight before the accident.

Word's lips drew closer to Salma's face, her body leaning slightly. Then whispered, "Where can I calm down, I would like to immediately bring you to Kalimantan. Let no one else take it!"

Salma rolled her eyes lazily. "Udah, continue eating it! I have to go home soon, Farhan is not feeling well. No one is angry!"

"Why don't you feel at home, Salma? You eat the same I—so let your heart calm down with me."

"Gosh, Mas. Responsibility, I'm just an officer! It's not good to be left for long." Salma tried to explain.

"The shop is also closed. What more reason? anyway, if he wants someone who wants to tell his wife!"

"Dad mom fighting again?! Will they split again, right? Not a hug anymore, are you?" said Aundy, protest.

"It's not that Ody, we're solving a problem." The word interrupts as Salma is about to explain.

"Yes, it's up to you! the important thing is that you cannot be enemies anymore. Ody would be mad if you were the mother of a rich enemy of rats and cats." Aundy continued to eat meatballs, as well as the Word that was so greedy to finish the contents of the bowl. As for Salma, just staring at the similarities of the two people in front of her.

Before leaving the meatball stall, Sabda asked Salma for permission to go to the toilet for a while. "You pay first!" Sabda handed over the wallet along with the cellphone in the pants pocket. Worried that his things will fall when he goes to the toilet.

"Mother, Ody wants ice!" pinta Aundy when he saw jars of various fruits lined up.

"Udahlah, Ody! We're going home!" Salma did not want to spend any longer with the Word. Honestly, he was worried about Farhan, who looked pale. "Tomorrow, baby, tomorrow is still past!" Salma answered a nod of the head by Aundy.

Salma who was about to get out of the chair again undo his intention— when feeling the vibration of the mobile phone Sabda. The name 'Hani' was making a video call to the man's number. Salma waited until the tremor died on its own. He didn't want to respond to any calls from Hani. "So, is Sabda still in touch with Hani?" his inner. Honestly Salma was quite upset to see Hani still in touch with the Word.

Not long ago he put down his cell phone. Notification of re-entry messages felt. Salma stared at the screen of the six-inch phone.

Hani: Pap, said he came home? Mana—

Salma could not fully read the short message Hani had sent, not wanting to open it. But, that piece of sentence was enough to make his mind overthingking.

Salma suddenly hesitated with the honesty of the Word. Has the Word lied to me? Or Hani who did it intentionally.

In the middle of his mind was muddling the Word back greet him—take them to go home.

"Have you been paid, Sal?" tanya Sabda took over her wallet and mobile phone.

"Not to—let me pay!" Salma confronted the Word who was about to pay the bills for the food they ate.

"Udah, no, Mas! how much, not so much!" Salma tried to cover the immortality of her heart with a contrived smile. He was worried after reading a short message sent by Hani.

Unwilling to budge, he waited for Salma to complete the payment.

"I'll go first, yeah, Sal! I'm going to Semarang, see the mother only yesterday I arrived in Java."

The Word further strengthens Salma's conjecture. "I—iya."

"Look, it won't be long! The day after tomorrow I may come again."

"Not to rush. Satisfied in Semarang!" salma said without looking at the Word.

"Actually—

"God, hurry up and get into the jungle later!" cut off Salma, forcing the man to leave immediately.

"Ody, I'm home. What will Ody buy from Semarang?"

Aundy. "Dad quickly came again. You see Ody is not satisfied with kangen-kenan father."

"Sure!" The Word opened the door of the car rented by him. There was a heavy feeling running through his mind at this moment. It felt so heavy, going home to Semarang without taking them. "Bye, Honey!"

Not willing to leave his ex-wife and son. The Word re-embraced Salma's body. Leaving a friendly pan in Salma's forehead. "Be careful, I'll let you know when you get there."

"Call you!" reply Salma ketus.

"Dad, Ody wants to hug too!" pinta Aundy as she stretched her hand towards the Word. "quick back huh, Dad!" aundy's message, as Sabda hugged her body tightly.

"Okay, Princess."

"You guys go first!" Request Word.

Without further ado Salma immediately pulled the motor gas, leaving the faithful Word to watch.

"Mother, Ody's going to the doctor. Let's get on the plane with dad and mom" said Aundy sounding so excited.

"Okay. Tomorrow, sign up first!" salma Response.

At least with his encounter with the Word. Aundy wants to go to heal her trauma. Hopefully after this, Aundy can be like again.

Arriving at the coffee shop Sweet Wood Salma quickly entered the modest building. He goes up to the second floor letting Aundy tell Aruni about his meeting with the father.

Before entering the bathroom, Salma first charged his cellphone which was almost dead because it ran out of power.

After coming out of the bathroom, she started checking her phone again. Giving a new number that was not previously stored in the phonebook. Yeah, that's Baghaskara's Word number. Salma deliberately gave the name Former 👷 in that number.

Salma smiled faintly noticing the name written for the Word. He was about to re-pick the cable. But, the incoming message from the new number again attracted Salma's attention.

0857862xxxx: Not communicating with you. Not that I don't miss you.
