Dear Om Rey
Chapter 23: Too Shy

In my room my heart continues to mourn. 'You're cheap ^n really, Nis?!' I hit my head in frustration. Even I rolled my body on the bed and hid my head under the pillow, relieving the embarrassment that made myself uncomfortable.

I feel very low. Regretfully have mastered the taste of dend^m on Aunt Manda. If Om Rey really wanted revenge he would have done it a long time ago, but Om Rey is not like that. He was loyal to his wife who had betrayed him.

And I, without a second thought, did that shameful thing! I feel like digging a hole, getting into it, and not coming out again because I'm so embarrassed.

How am I gonna deal with Om Rey now?

The day has arrived. Not wanting to avoid it I decided to do my duty as usual. After all the food was ready, I wrote on sticky notes a message,

The dinner menu. Just put it in the microwave.

Then I stick it on a container in the refrigerator. Then I closed the misting for Om Rey's lunch and put it on the dinner table.

Although I avoided it, I did not want him to buy food or cook for himself. Finally I prepared something that was just warmed up in the microwave. This time, however, I avoided her not because of her fault, but because I was too embarrassed to just talk to her after what happened last night.

As usual after cooking I take a shower and get ready, then go down for breakfast.

Om Rey's room door sounded open. When I sat down at the table and ate the fried rice I made, I suddenly felt very nervous. I avoided catching her figure even with the corner of my eye.

"Good morning, Dan." Sapa O Rey's. But I didn't answer him, just looking at him didn't.

We finally had breakfast in silence. It seems that Om Rey doesn't want to talk to me either. It makes me a little sad, but it's my own fault, because my behavior makes Om Rey uncomfortable.

"And, about last night..." Just as Om Rey spoke, my phone rang aloud. Phone from Fina.

Immediately I picked up and ignored Om Rey's words. "Yes, Fin? Okay, I'm ahead."

The empty plate I kept in the sink and immediately rushed to the door.

"Can..."

I didn't miss Om Rey's call when I passed her who was still sitting on the dining table chair.

Outside I saw Fina sitting on her orange offroad-style motorcycle, very Fina once. Sporty, cool, and orange colors show his personality synonymous with adventure, confidence, and courage.

"Thanks, you want to pick me up." I said while receiving the helmet he gave me.

"As long as you want to pay for the gasoline, I'm okay-okay only." Seloroh Fina's.

"Basic lo. Take it easy, I'll be your gasoline donor as long as I ask you to pick me up."

"Ready if that." He held up next to his thumb.

As I was about to climb into the backseat, Om Rey called me again. "Can you, you won't be delivered Om?" My body shakes.

The confused Fina looked at me. "Nis, you're talking about that." Reprovedly.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Fina opened her full-face helmet and got off the bike.

"Good morning, Om." Fina bowed to Om Rey. "I'm Fina Om, Danisa's friend."

"Good morning. Danisa's going with you?"

"Yes, Om. It just so happens that I'm going to college through here, so guys." Fina is very good at finding excuses. He's boarding near the campus, but he says it's so Om Rey doesn't feel bad.

"Oh that. Then I'll take you home." Said Om Rey to me.

I'm still tight-lipped. Fina, who was standing next to me and facing Om Rey, nudged my arm, so I could answer. But I remained silent.

"We're going home from work together, Fin." Finally said.

"Huh?" Fina frowned, digesting my words. "Oh, yes Om let us go back to work later." Fina's words ended with an awkward laugh. It must be bad to have to lie.

"But it's okay you girls come home at night?" Om Rey sounded worried.

Om Rey didn't say. He seemed reluctant to let me go or go home without him.

"Fin, let's go a little late." My word.

"Yes, Om we say yes, Om."

Then the orange cross motor has driven to leave the housing complex.

"So that's what Om Rey is? Crazy pantes aja lo smitten with Om lo it. The handsome and macho abis!"

I smiled faintly behind Fina. "Be aware that you have a crush on him."

"Yes, it's impossible. I admit Om Rey is handsome but I don't like Om-om. I prefer the same age or two years is the maximum above me."

"Why? Is age a problem?"

"Yes depends. If you like it, it's okay. But lo why the hell suddenly chat I want me to pick up, keep your attitude to Om lo also like avoiding it. What's up?"

"Udah don't kepo. I don't want to talk about that!" My elak.

"Lo ABG base labile. Because I so lie as om lo continue to have to pick you up later malem. Though I have the same event nature lovers children to hang out. Original for ntar malem I really can not pick you."

"So you go up the mountain next week?"

"So dong. Sorry, I couldn't pick you up. You're with the Vito, you're working with him."

"No yeah! It's the same as making him wish for me. Yes, it's easy I can pesen ojol ntar."

"Seek to pick up Om loa."

"Huh, yeah no way dong. Know for myself again per^ng cold."

"Ribet lives very much. It's up to you."

***

That day, I don't know why there were so many visitors. I'm honestly overwhelmed. Plus Vito suddenly permission can not come, as a result I only with a few other employees handle all the work. Until the time also shows at 8 pm, the time for the cafe is closed.

After the cafe closed I stood on the edge of the outer lobby and waited for my taxi to come. At that time a white sports bike came towards the basement.

"The vito? Why is he here at this hour? Isn't he a permit?" Mumbles.

My online object came and I decided not to think about Vito any further. Maybe he has business, I thought.

I finally booked an ojek online and arrived at Om Rey's house at exactly 9 p.m. When I arrived there was a car parked in the carport.

"Whose car is it?" Mumbles.

I opened the door and said hello. As the door opened Om Rey sat in the living room chair with an old woman and a middle-aged woman. They answered my greetings.

I remember them instantly.

"Mom, this is Danisa. Manda's niece Rey told me about." Om Rey introduced me to Bu Sekar who I knew was Om Rey's mother. The middle-aged woman I knew was one of Om Rey's older sisters, but I forgot her name.

I approached them and kissed their hands politely.

Ma Sekar looked at me in a very high manner. "Can the old tomboy be? Now it's as pretty as you are, son!" He said holding my hand warm.

I just smiled kindly hearing the woman who had Om Rey's eyes praising me, and accidentally I cleanly looked at Om Rey who was also smiling warmly at me.

I instantly erased the smile on my face.

'Danis, why are you smiling at Om Rey? You forgot her again?'
