Om Rey took me to sit on the couch in the living room. Leaning his body on the back of the sofa, his face turned grim.
"What do you want to tell Om?" Askaqua.
"On Manda."
I look forward to what he will tell you patiently.
"Surely he doesn't come home often, ninggalin Om, not because he works."
"Because Aunt Manda met another man?" My guess.
Rey looked at me. "You know where it came from?"
I look sad at his face. "I've seen Aunt Manda in Plaza Mall. She's with a guy. They don't want to walk around the Mall, Om, but they want to check in at the hotel. Om knew that in the Mall there was a hotel too. I followed them and from the conversation I found out that they've been cheating since Aunt Manda was still living in Japan."
"It turns out you've seen it." Om Rey smiled bitterly.
There was a sense of pity and also a bit of jealousy that I felt at once. Iba because it turns out Om Rey has been cheated on for a long time. Jealous because Om Rey must feel pain and betrayed, which proves that Om Rey's taste for Aunt Manda still exists even though it is not as big as before.
"I didn't expect Aunt Manda to admit it behind Om. What is the lack of Om? He chose another man when he had this perfect Om."
A faint smile rose on his lips. I held my hand, as if thanking you for what I said.
"More men also have wives." My welcome. "Why don't they get divorced first! Why does Aunt Manda have to feed Om kayak? As his niece honestly I'm ashamed to have a aunt kayak him!" Anger momentarily overwhelmed me.
"Where else is that guy?" Mumbled.
"That's, Om?" I ask not to understand.
Om Rey looked at me for a moment. "Manda cheated not because Manda loved that man."
My eyebrows instantly unite. "I mean Om?"
"All you see is just one of the many men Manda has ever had contact with."
Huh huh?
You mean Aunt Manda has a lot of girlfriends?
"Yes, Dan." Om Rey agreed when my facial expression was so shocked. "Manda is a pl^y girl. He's a hobby of changing men."
Both my hands were closing my nose and mouth, I really couldn't describe my surprise.
"You can play with one guy every week." Imbibuh.
My emotions are at the highest level. "Om Diem continues to see how he behaves like that?! You still survive when you know all that?!" My screams can't control my emotions.
"From the beginning we had contact with many people who warned Om about Manda. But Om blinded Om's own love. Om always believed Manda was a good woman and a pity on Om. Though the sloping news about Manda has often been heard since Manda was in college. People say, Manda often change girlfriends, even to become a mistress of wealthy men, so sug^r b^by."
I snorted in disbelief, Om Rey... It's so stupid! Umpatku is so upset.
"And Om mutusin to stay married Aunt Manda after knowing all that?!" I asked still in a high tone.
Om Rey grunted regretfully. "Yes." Yeah."
"What the hell is Om thinking?!" Finally yelled.
"You can say that's stupid, Dan. Because it's the truth. It's so stupid."
I breathed rough and leaned next to him, trying to ease my anger.
"Om had a chance to ask about it, and he admitted it. Manda promised that it was only the past. He said he was serious about building a household with Om after that. Our marriage went well, especially when we were living in Tokyo. But the happy days Om lived with Manda only up to a few months. After that Manda started busy working, overtime every day."
"Keep Om not suspicious at all with his 'steady' Aunt Manda?" I move my index and middle fingers like rabbit ears when I say the word 'soft'.
"So for five years Om didn't know Aunt Manda's behavior?"
"Only for one year did Manda manage to lie to Om. Finally Om knew Manda's overtime turned out to be meeting as many men as he often did back then. It was destroyed when I knew it. We fought a great fight, almost even divorced."
"Almost?" I didn't think it through. "Why almost, Om? Why aren't you divorced?"
"Because of mom."
"Because of Bu Sekar?"
Om Rey nodded. "Because of the mother, also because of Om's family view of divorce. Actually from the beginning Om introduced Manda to mother, mother has strongly disagreed with Om's relationship with Manda. But Om was completely blind at the time. Mom even betrothed Om several times with some women, but Om refused all of them. Until finally I have no choice and approve of marriage Om."
It is fitting that Bu Sekar was as satisfied as he said Om Rey was now hit by the stone from his decision to marry Aunt Manda.
"But if Bu Sekar opposes Om's marriage, he should be very happy if Om split with Aunt Manda. Aye, right?"
"Om back to Indonesia at that time to talk about the divorce. But at that time my mother was very sick. At that time everyone thought she was going to leave. Om worried so much. Because the condition of the mother is not possible, making Om so can not say about the desire Om divorced with Manda. Finally Om mutusin made a story to Kak Dewi, but he said divorce is something that t^bu in the Om family. In the last five generations, there has never been a divorced couple in the Om family. Divorce is considered a disgrace. So Om was forced to survive the bland household life."
"Sister Goddess also suggested Om had a child with Manda." Reciprocity. "It may be that with the presence of a child the relationship of Om and Manda can improve. But for years we never succeeded and Om mutusin gave up. And as if it was destined to really end it all, Om finally knew that Manda installed contraceptives without Om's knowledge. There Om has no reason to stay."
Om Rey grabbed my cheek, "Now you know, Om has no taste at all in Manda for a long time. Now the only one Om loves is you, Dan. Even when he knows you, Om is getting convinced to end up with Manda. Om doesn't care what Om's family says, Om just wants to be happy again. And now only you can make Om happy. "
I believe Om Rey's feelings have been eroded, especially what Aunt Manda did was very outrageous. But the fact that he's still doing that relationship even without love, I don't know, I don't feel willing.
"When was the last time Om said it was Aunt Manda?" Tanyaku.
Om Rey was silent.
"Jawab, Om."
"Since returning to Indonesia, Om has never touched Manda again." To be honest.
That means it was only about three months before I came to this house? It just flashed the shadow of Om Rey doing it with Aunt Manda.
I also moved away from him, turning to the sofa next to him. I folded my hands in front of my chest, my shoulders went up and down, and my eyebrows fused together.
"And, Om apologize."
Hearing him apologize like that made me finally melt^k. "Say Om has not loved Aunt Manda for a long time, but it turns out Om still ngelakuin it the same Aunty Manda?! The last time Om confessed it was about five months ago, didn't it mean?!"
"You jealous?" Om Rey asked with a hint of astonished smile on her face.
Of jealousy? I'm not sure myself.
"Can," Om Rey crouched down in front of me and grabbed both my hands. "That's the past Om. Om can't change that. But the past has nothing to do with it. Om already chose you to be Om's partner in the present and in the future."
Instantly my emotions subsided.
Oh, Rey is right, that's her past. If I want to be with her now, then that is a risk0 that I must accept. I will not be in a relationship with a single man who will have his first experience with me, but I will be in a relationship with a man who will soon be a widower. If I want to accept it, then I have to accept her past as well.
What I have to worry about, I have to think about, I focus on, is the future, not the past. Let there be in the past another woman Om Rey has loved, whom she has touched, but the most important thing in her future is just me.
I hugged him. "I love you so much, Om." I clenched her body so tightly as if I didn't want to take it off again.
"And..." He muttered, as if I couldn't believe it.
I let go of my embrace and scooped her cheeks. "From now on Om is my girlfriend. I don't care about Om's past, which is clear now Om must take care of Om's heart so that there is only me in it. Om promising?"
Her smile was beautiful, revealing her dimples again. "Yes, I promise."
Instantly I felt very relieved, very happy. I ended the conversation by kissing Om Rey for the first time as my girlfriend.
