Om Satisfied I'm Squeezed

The Story of the Past Om Bobby

Wawan closed his eyes for a moment hearing Ariel's words that sounded so heartbreaking. Ariel now loves another man, no more his name is engraved in Ariel's heart anymore. It was completely wiped clean. "That guy you loved? Boss at your place of work? Does he love you like I love you?" Wawan began to shake the establishment of Ariel, unfortunately, Ariel is not as easily shaken.

"Yes, you're right. Bobby is the man I love. Even though I've only been considered an employee, I don't care. I still love him. Bobby has done a lot in my life. He also loved Galang very much and made him grow up to be a cheerful child instead of a frightened one,"

"Mas, between us it's done, but it's not really finished. There are things between us that we must educate in order to be better children in life than both of us. I know, I was wrong to separate you from Galang. I'm sorry. If you want to meet Galang, you can meet him. However, my first permission was to keep me from panicking looking for him like now. I will drive Galang myself, treat Galang well so that Galang is not afraid when he meets you. From now on, I want us to be good parents of Galang and work together to educate him. I want to, don't you?" said Ariel who had now eased her anger.

Wawan's head bowed to hear what Ariel said. He realized, Ariel had now really left and no longer expected it as before. The mistake was indeed very big to make Ariel no longer save feelings for him, disappeared without rest.

"You're right, between us there's still a Galang that's both of us's responsibility." Wawan breathed deeply. Persuading Ariel would be useless. "Alright, I'll let you know if I want to meet Galang." Wawan entered the house and gave Galang equipment that he brought. "Jaga is good. I don't want him to be more affectionate with that man than I am, his own real Papa."

Ariel nodded, he then left Wawan and left behind, who looked at Ariel with a hollow and sliced heart. Ariel has really left and all that Wawan realized because of his mistake.

Ariel walks to where Om Bobby's car is parked. Their house was in an alley, forced a car to be tithed briefly in the courtyard of the mosque. In the car saw Om Bobby who was holding a sleeping Galang. Occasionally Om Bobby rubbed Galang's back so that the child felt comfortable. Ariel got into the car and put the Galang gear in the back seat.

"Let me be the one who's carrying Galang, Om."

Om Bobby gave Galang to Ariel. Ariel hugged her while crying. "Thank God you can still be with Mama, son." Ariel kissed Galang's cheek that was fast asleep.

"Thank you very much, Om. If not for Om, maybe now I and Wawan are still fighting over Galang, instead of putting aside our respective egos for the growth of Galang," said Ariel sincerely.

Bobby starts the engine and drives the car. "No need to thank me. I did all this for Galang. That child moved my heart. I told you no, Galang reminds me of my past."

Ariel took out a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. Hugging Galang tightly, Ariel looked at the handsome Om beside her who was concentrating on driving. Om Bobby's good looks are increasing every day. Well, mature and wise. Somehow fate Ariel if not know Om Bobby.

"Will Om tell me Om's past?" ariel asked with a hopeful look.

Om Bobby glanced at Ariel. "My story is too dark to tell."

Bobby was silent for a moment while driving the car. The sun started to sink, the orange sky started to turn dark. The road is increasingly jammed because many employees go home from work to make the volume of vehicles dense, the pace of vehicles began to falter.

Ariel gives time to Om Bobby, if Om Bobby wants to say thank you, otherwise Ariel will not force. Ariel is self-conscious, who is she? Only a pet woman might not rise forever.

"It's okay if Om doesn't want a story. I won't force. I-" Ariel's not done talking, Om Bobby's cut her.

"I was in the position of Galang. My family is a broken home. My mom and dad got divorced because Papa likes to get drunk and be rude to Mama." Bobby smiled a little. "High eyes Galang earlier when looking at me is the highlight of my eyes when I was afraid and asked for help. Galang luckier than me, long ago .. nobody helped me at all."

Om Bobby stopped his car and let the biker overtake in front of his car. Stalled roads make us have to be patient, do not get carried away with emotions. Om Bobby again runs his car when the car in front of him is already on the road.

"My mother's story, just like yours, Riel. My mother is not like you who dared to fight. Mama let Papa hurt her until I was a teenager. I told Mama to fight. As expected, I ended up with a bruise and had to be rushed to the hospital with a sewing wound to the head. My own father hurt me but my kind mother forgave him. I forced Mama to divorce. There's no point in maintaining an already unhealthy household."

Bobby put an electronic card at the entrance of the toll and then continued the story. "After I threatened to leave the house, Mama would divorce Papa. That too Mama must get a lot of grit because Papa is getting crazy. Mama remarried a few years later and got a husband who loved her very much, while Papa. I don't even know if I have another sister or not."

The toll road was not too jammed. Out of the way toll, Om Bobby did not go straight home. Om Bobby takes Ariel and Galang to the kids' favorite fast food restaurant. "We eat first! Poor Galang, he must have been hungry since last cry on."

Bobby parked his car and opened the door for Ariel and Galang. "Let me carry it!"

Om Bobby wakes up Galang who is sound asleep while hugging Ariel tightly. Fear still imprints in the usually cheerful little boy.

Gently, Om Bobby rubbed Galang's back. "Boyle, wake up. Want to eat chicken? Yuk, eat the same om!"
