Om Satisfied I'm Squeezed

The Abstinence of Surrendering

Bobby stared at the side of his bed. Ariel is still in the kitchen. He is engrossed in cooking, trying various ways to make the chips he made crisp, crunchy and long-lasting. Today was the second day Ariel experimented with chips she made in the kitchen.

Bobby glanced at the wall clock in his room. It's 12 at night and Ariel's not coming into the room. Getting used to sleeping with Ariel makes Om Bobby unable to close his eyes if there is no Ariel beside him.

Bobby went to the kitchen and saw Ariel who had her hair high and tried the chips she made. His eyes look full of excitement. Om Bobby did not think, why just for the sake of wanting to join the bazaar which fortunately is not how much, Ariel to sacrifice his rest? What monthly money did he give less?

Om Bobby walked over and hugged Ariel from behind. "Still long?"

"Ish, you got me. Wh why? Are you sleepy, huh?" ariel asked softly.

Om Bobby nodded his head. "Yes. There's no you, I can't sleep" said Om Bobby.

"Tell you so much, my husband. Patience, it's over soon." Ariel stuffed her homemade chips into the plastic clip she bought. He will test whether his chips remain crisp until tomorrow.

"You why the hell, so persistent in making chips? You need more money? You just tell me, I'll transfer again."

Ariel smiled at the words of Om Bobby. "I'm not doing this just because I need money. I want to start a business."

"Business? Selling chips? Just make you tired. Luckily not much but you've been in the kitchen all day. If you are tired and you get sick? Wouldn't it be more loss later?"

Ariel put the chips into a plastic clip that she had filled the chips in one box. If until tomorrow his chips remain crisp, he only needs to stick to the sticker he has ordered. Ariel just tried to make other chips for him to sell.

"Indeed, it makes me tired now, but when this business grows, I just sit back and monitor my employees work. I want to learn to make business. I'm going forward. I want to prove that I have the ability. The money I saved all this time, I will use as capital. I'm not gonna ask for capital from you. I want to be independent. You just pray for me!" ariel said confidently.

"Why are you doing all this? I think it's because of the money I've been given less" asked Bobby.

"Not less, my dear. Absolutely no less, more. I want to keep myself busy so as not to think only of your Mama's words. Behind his hurtful words, I became motivated to prove my greatness to him. I was not smart in college grades, understandably, I was too busy with my hina job to record learning and I regret this stupidity. But I have advantages. Making these chips is my advantage. I'll be more diligent in studying so that my chips are liked by many people."

"You are so hurt by my mother's words? Somehow I apologized to you for replacing my Mama. You're strong darling, you're a great woman" said Om Bobby regretfully.

"What's wrong. The wound will heal over time. I try to take the positive side. I will develop my abilities again so that you are proud of me. Please support me, Beb. I want to become a better person."

"Of course, hon. I will support you. You want me to be with you?"

"No need. It's about to be finished. Just close the plastic clip, done!"

"Let me do it. You rest. It's straightforward. Trust me, okay?" Om Bobby takes over Ariel's job and lets Ariel rest.

There is a towering but not a tower, but Joni. It's always Joni reacting every time she sees Ariel. Inhaling the scent of his body alone can make Joni who was originally asleep suddenly wake up and demand to be satisfied.

"Not now, Jon. Poor Mama Ariel tired. How about it be dawn? We love when Mama Ariel breaks to be fit and can shake us up with a frenzy?" Bobby spoke to Joni in his heart. Strange indeed.

Bobby put his body on the bed and patted the side of him empty. "Yuk bobo, Yang!" bring Bobby Om.

"OKAY. I put the towel down first!" Ariel hangs her towel on the towel hanger and goes into the blanket and hugs Bobby.

"You smell so good" praised Bobby.

"Look off, baby. Perfumed."

"Oh yeah I forgot, I already ordered a special bed for Galang. The plan is to redecorate and make the child's room." Om Bobby dyed Ariel's hair that was still a little wet after shampooing even though he had dried. The fragrant shampoo filled Om Bobby's nose. Very fragrant.

"really? Geez, Beb, you're so kind to Galang. Thank you so much, baby." Ariel lifted her face and kissed Om Bobby's lips quickly as a form of thanks. "You've always been good to us. Somehow we're repaying your kindness."

"What the hell is returning kindness? I don't need to be reciprocated. Being able to live with you is a joy for me. You've heard from Prisa about me having a hard time having children, haven't you? I'm glad to meet Galang, I finally get to have a son even if it's not my own." Om Bobby looked at the ceiling of the room with a sad look.

"Don't say that, Beb. Nothing can overcome the power of God. People can say that you will find it difficult to have children but if God has allowed it, nothing is impossible, right? We are simply told to wait and be patient until God is ready to leave us children. As long as it is, I will keep you company. We'll be together forever. You, me, Galang and our son."

Ariel's words make Om Bobby touched. He drew Ariel in his arms and kissed Ariel's forehead lovingly. "Thank you, honey. Thank you for being in my life."

"If you thank me, say dear dong to me. This time I was forced, not because I doubted you but sometimes that feeling had to be spoken. Say it like this, Ariel I love you!" Ariel teaches Bobby to express his heart.

"Then I'm."

"Come .. I'm the only one who hears," Ariel said.

"Shame."

"Judah, I close my eyes and let you be confident." Ariel closed her eyes and waited for Om Bobby to tell her feelings honestly and loudly.

"Ariel ... I .. love you!"
