Om Satisfied I'm Squeezed

Citizen Arrived

Ariel looked at Galang who was engrossed in playing with a troubled heart. I don't know why she feels bad. The complex situation was too quiet for Ariel, as if she was preparing something bad for her.

"Mom, mamma!" Galang feeds Ariel with an empty toy spoon. This time Galang became a parent and Ariel became his son. Ariel obediently opened her mouth and accepted Galang's bribe. "Pintel's son!"

Ariel smiled to hear Galang praise him, exactly what he used to do when Galang wanted to eat the food he was bribing. "You're so smart, son." Ariel rubbed Galang's head with a sad look. "Where would we go if no one accepted us?" muttered Ariel slowly.

"We're gonna run, Ma?" galang asked while looking at Ariel who looked sad. "Mama cry? Cup cup, don't cry. Mama's a strong boy. Mama can't cry!"

Ariel forced a smile on her face to hear the soothing sentence Galang said. "Your mom is strong? Yes, Galang is right, Mama is a strong child. Mama wouldn't be like now if she was weak. It made Mama stronger. What a great galang. I'm proud to have a son like Galang."

"Yey, Great galang!" The boy cheered happily to get compliments from Ariel. A child who has no burden of suffering. Ariel is grateful that Galang's trauma of past violence has slowly disappeared. Om Bobby's love for helping to treat it, replacing the trauma with genuine affection.

"It's late, why hasn't Papa come home yet?" Ariel looked at the clock on the wall. It's 7 p.m. Om Bobby had promised that he would not be in Bandung for long because he wanted to take Ariel and Galang for a night trip while on a culinary tour.

Ariel took her cell phone and called her husband. Several times she contacted Om Bobby but her husband did not pick up the phone even though their phone connection was connected.

"Om Papa where, Ma?" ask Galang.

"Mama doesn't know, honey. Where ya?" Ariel put her cell phone back. "There's no way Papa's forgotten, son. Where ya?"

Galang returned to play and ignored Ariel's words. Without Ariel knowing, in front of Om Bobby's house is already crowded with residents who intend to expel him.

"Please calm down, sir, ma'am. Remember, we live in neighbors who uphold peace and harmony. No violence or vigilante. I don't want what we're doing to become a fuss, everybody understand?" Mr. RT gave a warning to its citizens who seemed impatient about to occupy the house of Ariel who was accused of being a kebo gathering perpetrator.

"Yes, Sir. It's been a spit. Long time love his pampering! Hunting runs away girls are not real!" said one resident added to the heat of the atmosphere.

"Yes, right. It's all Dad's fault. Why don't you realize there are new people. Women are no longer allowed to live in this complex. If only you had asked her origin, we wouldn't be this worried!" sahut one of the mothers who even blamed Mr. RT.

"Why am I to blame? Already, all calm down. I will ask for an explanation first. No one talks or heats up the atmosphere! Remember the message I gave you!" threaten Mr. RT.

Mr. RT walked over to the fence of Om Bobby's house and pressed the bell. Inside the house, Ariel who heard the sound of a bell ringing peeked out of the window and saw Mr. RT coming. Ariel did not see that there were many citizens behind her, all blocked by the high walls.

"Mbak, sign Galang ya. I'm ahead first!" Ariel opened the door of the house and walked towards the fence with her flip-flops. Ariel frowned when she realized that not only Mr. RT was waiting for her in front of the house, but some mothers she had met in the park plus some residents of the complex.

Ariel's feelings began to unsettle. He was sure that they would take action after hearing the commotion that Aunt Dena made while at the bazaar, plus the mothers he had met in the park must have made his image even worse.

"Good night, Ariel's mother" said Mr. RT kindly.

"Good night, sir. What's up, huh? Why did you come to my house?" ariel asked directly to the core of the matter.

"Sorry to interrupt Ariel's mother's time. I came to my mother's house because I got a complaint from the residents about what happened during the bazaar yesterday point according to the confessions of the community there was a mother who hit Ariel's mother and said that ariel's mother is her husband's usurper. The problem here, not the mother because we do not know the point that the problem and concern of the citizens is about Ariel's mother. "

"Regard me? Why me? For information, yes, sir, I just met with Ms. Dena yesterday, for the first time, therefore I wonder, why you come with the residents here at night., what's for?" ariel answered, who began not to like her life disturbed.

"So gini, ma'am, based on the information of the citizens, they heard that Mother actually .. sorry, have a past as a woman yes. I also don't know for sure. The news media caused concern from residents around the complex about Ariel's mother's relationship with Mr. Robbie. They heard that Mother .. sorry once again yes, was Mr. Robbie's mistress. If that's the case, haven't you guys done a kebo get-together?" Mr. RT spoke very politely and carefully.

Ariel understands that this is not the desire of Mr. RT, but the demands of its citizens who are very curious about the life of Ariel, a citizen who has been prejudiced without knowing what really happened. Just because of Aunt Dena's words, everyone immediately thought badly of Ariel. There's nothing wrong, just those who don't know Ariel.

"I have guessed sir, the arrival of the Father and the citizens must be because of Mother Dena's speech yesterday. Actually I do not want to respond to what he said yesterday because I am not a mistress Mr. Robbie. I'm .. his wife," Ariel replied honestly.

Of course no one believed Ariel's words, moreover, the residents who have started to feel emotional and have bad thoughts about Ariel and Om Bobby who are suspected of having a kebo get together so that they often experience misfortune, whether in business, or not, home or daily life. All blamed Ariel for being considered a pesky carrier.

People started to react to Ariel's remarks. "Don't believe it, sir! How could anyone want me?"

Ariel's emotions were ignited to hear the people who cornered her. "Most out? Sorry sir, I'm not a thief. Please take care of your words, Father" said Ariel firmly.

"Heh, don't just show my husband dong! You are indeed a thief, the husband of people! Why don't you, don't be a saint when the reality is rotten!" It turns out his wife did not accept the husband was replied by Ariel. Other citizens also follow along.

"Yes, don't be a saintly person!"

"Having sinned, instead of repenting, makes all of us unlucky!"

"Udah deh, throw away people like that! Who wants to have a neighbor as a kebo-collector as he is!"

The atmosphere is starting to heat up. Ariel is alone against the citizens who look emotional and want to judge him. Ariel wasn't afraid in the least. If he was young and did a poor job, he would be afraid. Now, Ariel feels she is on the right side. To face many masses he is not afraid. "Do you have any evidence that I did a kebo get-together? I'm married to Mr. Robbie. Are married people said to gather kebo? Don't accuse me!"
