Dear Om Rey
Chapter 7: Hugging Om Rey

"Rey!"

A voice rang out from the front when we were almost in front of Om Rey's house. I saw Aunt Manda coming out of her car parked in front of the house.

Instantly I struggled a little, until finally Om Rey lowered me from his back.

"Auntie Manda?" Sumringah. I finally met him. With a limp I walked towards him. "Aunty, how come you're nongol now anyway?"

"Yes, Aunt is busy, Nis." Said Aunt Manda while hugging me. "What's your leg?"

"Jatoh just now jogging time. So Om Rey just carry me." My light.

"You're there anyway. I've taken medicine to avoid infection." Aunt Manda's. Then he looked at his husband. "I want to get a dress, keep going again. There's still a lot of work on the newly built resorts in Lombok."

I stared at Om Rey by accident. Face's cold. I just saw it like that this time. Om Rey, who almost always looks warm, now looks at Aunt Manda so piercing.

Did not get an answer from Om Rey, without waiting again Aunt Manda entered the house. I'm tailing. And when I was in the house I went to the kitchen to get a P3K box, while Aunt Manda went into her room.

I began to treat my wounds while sitting on the dining table chair. I saw Om Rey come into his room and I started hearing screams from both of them.

I didn't want to eavesdrop, but their quarrel did sound that clear from where I was sitting. What I heard from their debate, Aunt Manda apparently often did not come home. He was preoccupied by his work at the resort owned by his company.

Om Rey sounds so angry and tired with Aunt Manda's attitude. "Why don't you bring all your stuff? Why do you keep stuff here, but you never live here?!"

"It's my house too yeah, you don't forget I have rights to this house!"

Looked Aunt Manda out of the room. Then Om Rey catches up with him and immediately ambushes Aunt Manda's hand.

"Oh yeah? After what happened you still speak of rights?! Your duty first, Man. Whereabouts? You lakanin no? You think I don't know what you've been doing all this time?!"

Aunt Manda threw Om Rey's hand that grabbed her. "What have I been doing all this time?" His challenge.

Om Rey fell silent, she looked at me at a glance.

"Why is he?" Aunt Manda is still waiting.

Rey is back in silence.

"You're wasting your time I know you're not!" Then Aunt Manda sauntered away with a bag in her hand.

Soon I catch up with him. "Aante!"

Aunt Manda who was just about to get into her car turned her head towards me. "Why?" Ask annoyed.

"Auntie won't stay here? How am I going, Tan?"

He pulled his brown hair. "Mbak Dian has nitipin you same Aunt here. You live here." He was getting ready to get into his car.

"Aante!" My word.

"What else, Nis?!" He said impatiently.

"But I'm just staying with Om Rey here if Auntie doesn't exist. I'm not good, Tan. It can't be both at home."

"Emang why? What do you think about anyway? Rey won't be a macem. He also only considers you his nephew, except for you who are negligent! So take care of your attitude!"

Immediately offended to hear it. It feels like a long time not to meet Aunt Manda, I don't know that she is now turning out to be more arbitrary. He used to be very happy, even though I knew he was a good man. But this time it turned out to be even more annoying.

Then Aunt Manda left with her car. I also went back into the house. Immediately I rushed to leave for college because I was almost late. When I came down from the second floor, I found the room quiet.

"Om Rey is leaving?" Mumbles.

I went to the dinner table and breakfast was not touched. I finally knocked on Om Rey's room.

"Omm? I'm leaving yeah."

But just a few steps, the door of his room opened. I turned to look towards him. He still wears the sports clothes he was wearing. He looks at me softly.

"Omm?" Ask me at the door of his room. "I'm leaving first, Om."

Instantly somehow I was already in his arms.

Yes, this Tantiku husband of mine suddenly hugged me!

"Of!" I pushed his body.

"A little while, Dan." Instead of letting go of me, he tightened his embrace.

"But Om..." Very panicked, especially when I suddenly remembered the increasingly jutek face of Aunt Manda. What if he suddenly saw this?

"Let Om examine Om's feelings. Just a minute." Sluggishly.

Hearing her voice so sad made me stop my urge. Is he talking about his quarrel with Aunt Manda?

"Please hug Om too, Dan." Her request.

Whahuh? Did Om Rey eat wrong?

"Please, Dan. Om would love to be hugged by you."

I forcefully began to wrap my hands around Om Rey's body and calm her down.

***

I took my two feet stepping towards my faculty building lazily. I breathed many times and unceasingly my head twisted the events that had just happened.

Just now Om Rey and I hugged so tightly.

What did I do wrong? But I have no sense in him. I also hugged him because he asked me to. Also, I felt sorry for him because he looked so sad. To me Om Rey is like my father, I don't think of him as a man.

So, that hug should mean nothing.

"Woy! Daydream." Suddenly Vito was by my side. "Why the hell? Why are you so late?"

"There's business. Let's be the most punished." I'm not excited. "You're just as late but still relaxed. The scholarship boy's period is like that."

"Ah nyantei. I have the same permission as the senior."

Then I remembered my debt to Vito. "Vit, lunch with ya. I want your deal."

Vito's face changed. "Seriously?"

I'm nodding. "As a saying you have given me the cooperation info."

"Where?"

"At the campus cafeteria is pretty and cheap." I cengengesan.

"Don't want to have lunch. I want to eat the mall and not on campus."

"You are loved for the heart!" Narrator.

"Select, if your lunch pays. If my dinner pays. I'll take you to an expensive restaurant."

"Who? That's why I'm not your treaty dong."

"It's okay. With the same lo dinner I, I will nganggep if you have paid your debt. How's it?"
