I'm the Abuser

Storms

Boby asks Clara's permission to have a bachelorette party at her house. As it was already an office tradition, Boby easily obtained permission from Clara.

***

Hp Clara reads. While he was still busy with his ice outlet. Message from Mama Santi. Ask for new clothes for the event. He said he was going to the orphanage. Clara just melengos. The orphanage!!! At least many photos of the same hahahihi. Show off that they're golden-spirited. Nymbang not how much, riyanya are multiplied. It's nauseating!! It is really sickening!! Not yet replied Mama Santi has called. Clara turned it off without answering. The message came again.

'How dare you call me!! Widows don't know they're lucky!!' message Santi.

Clara couldn't take it anymore. The wedding is only a week away. He did not take time off from college or vacation because there are many things that must be handled. Single-handedly taking care of everything, physically and financially. Emotions and fatigue physically and mentally make Clara come to Boby's house.

Until at home Boby the atmosphere of the house is deserted. Clara knew Boby had a job from night. Jesi and Dito must have left for college. Papa must have been at the iron shop. Pas already!! If you want to argue or jambak jambak all of you can also. Clara barged into the middle room as soon as the door opened.

"What does Mama mean? Mama don't see Clara getting married soon? Just a matter of days and Mama could still ask for clothes? Mama sure you're still sane?" clara asked with emotion. Santi who was sitting relaxed in the family room immediately stood up. Slapped Clara's cheek hard. Santi's large height posture made Clara fall down with a hard slap.

"You don't know it's lucky!!! Want me to cancel your wedding?!! I am happy to do it. Boby will get a richer 'girl' and from you quickly!!" santi jumawa said. Clara stood back and slapped Santi hard.

"Do it!! Do everything you want to do!! I don't give a shit!! I'm not a dairy cow Mama can threaten to keep going!!!" clara was full of emotion. 

How shocked Clara was when she turned back. Saw Boby standing at the middle room door. I was surprised to see what happened. Clara was sad to see Boby's sad face. But he just decided to pass Boby. Clara's own eyes are puffy. Santi immediately cried so it would be. Clara left the house with a swearing from Santi. Atun and baby sitter Ayuna who watched all from the kitchen to come shed tears. They have the same pity for Clara.

Boby hugs Santi's limp body on the sofa.

"You picked Bob wrong, you chose wrong!! Look what the sun ndal woman did. He slapped Mama!!! She slapped Mama when she wasn't officially Mama's daughter-in-law. What would he do if he were a son-in-law? Maybe he'll kill your mama" Santi said, crying as he pleased. Santi, who was facing the central entrance, knew full well that Boby had come just before Clara slapped him. Boby must have heard no insults and seen his slap on Clara. He is interested in being a victim. Boby was silent. Gently rubbed Santi's shoulder in a hug. Boby is shocked by Clara's attitude.

On late afternoon, the sun showed its rays before sinking into the dispute. Boby couldn't sleep at all. Even though a full night stay up because of the task. His mind swirled between Pocik and his mother. Pocik is not a person who is easily ignited emotions and angry as before…. But.... Is your mother wrong? What harm??? Until the afternoon Boby had not received a message from Pocik. Why won't Pocik explain? Boby ignited the tobacco he had. Inhaling nicotine into his lungs.

"Kopi Mas," said Atun startled. Bring the cup of coffee that Boby ordered. 

"Mas must be dizzy thinking of Madam Clara, the same" said Atun slowly. His head was wobbly afraid that someone would steal his hearing. Boby immediately looked at Atun enthusiastically.

"Atun is afraid to talk here Mas, afraid of mother njedul sewayah wayah (coming to arrive)," said Atun pale.

"I wait in front of the complex. Tell Mama you told Boby to buy you a cigarette," said Boby quickly. He moved from his seat. Walk towards the gate of his house.

Atun came a while later. With a grin sitting in front of Boby. 

"We're like dating Mas" said Atun girang. Boby showed his fed-up face.

"Quick say," said Boby impatiently.

"But Atun was thirsty, hungry too" said Atun looking for an opportunity. Boby called the waiter. Atun ordered ndower fried duck and two orange ice. Boby only shook his head when offered. His face was very curious.

"Actually this isn't the first quarrel of Clara's mother and sister, Mas. This is their second fight. Mother was also wrong because of Mbak Clara first. Not what I told you…." Atun began to open the sound of what he saw and what he heard. Including Clara and Santi's quarrel before the wedding. 

"Mom also often terrorized Mbak Clara over the phone if the shirt is not so," Atun said. 

Atun felt Boby should know the real facts. Poor widow named Clara. Atun is actually the same age as Boby. But fate took her as a maid when she graduated Junior High. Until now he has served the Boby family. When the man was a boy too. Even Atun knew that Clara was his employer's first love. Atun once found a photo of Boby and Clara when they were still the same SMA. Also how heartbroken Boby when he left Clara. I don't know about his own family. Don't know that Boby fell in love a second time with the same girl.

Boby mangosteen mangosteen heard. Combine pieces when Clara wants real blessing. Huh, who would have thought that her mother was this cruel? But cruel cruel she was still his mother. Huh!!! She should what?

"Thank you Tun, you've been willing to tell me this. Thank you very much" Boby said, clapping Atun's hands repeatedly. Then took out a few pieces of red money and slipped them in Atun's hand.

"This is to pay, the change is to you. Thanks for the info" Boby said, patting Atun's head fondly. Then it passed from the restaurant. Atun still felt his hands warm from Boby's claps again. Also his head was as if it had just been stung by the soul-cooling dew. Atun saw the red money in his grasp. As red as his face is now. For Atun, Boby is fascinating. Despite all his mischievous attitude. But he is self-conscious…. There's no way Boby's gonna look at him. At least Mas Boby should be happy with the person he loves. Batin Atun's.

Boby went home. Take his jacket and motorcycle keys. Drove the motor to a place that is very eager to visit at this time. I hope this marriage can be resolved peacefully.

"I want to talk, do you have time?" ask Boby. The man took off his reading glasses. Dress Boby with a questionable look.
