Other Dream Women
Chapters 20. Strike

Cahya drove her car at moderate speed down the streets that look crowded in the morning. As always, he must be extra careful in driving considering in hours like this many people who pass by using highway facilities. Start the day with all kinds of activities and routines.

Cahya was able to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Alina and Malika's face again sparkling. The faces that had previously been so grim because of the disappointment they had shown to the father had now disappeared, changing with a hue of excitement. How not to be happy if in the middle of the journey to school the children were, Cahya took them to stop by for a moment at the minimarket. Buy them both ice cream which is one of their favorite menus.

It might sound very unnatural because early in the morning like this Cahya bought her two daughters ice cream. But that is the only way they can get excited about going back to school. It was undeniable that the attitude shown by Awan had completely shattered the mood of these two daughters.

"Loh Bun, why is this the car? How about going on strike?"

Alina exclaimed as she felt the car she was riding in felt so strange. Cahya who felt the same was also made to wonder what is wrong with this car. Suddenly this car was running like choking. He pointed the steering wheel to the left intending to pull over.

"Yes, honey, why?"

Not yet had time to get an answer to his curiosity, suddenly the car engine he drove died. That's what surprised Cahya a little.

"Astaghfirullah ... What is this?" said Cahya lirih. Although a little panicked, Cahya tried to stay calm.

"Well, strike Bun. Why Bun? Is the gas gone?" malika asked innocently.

"No Honey. The gasoline is full. Maybe the machine."

"Why Bun's machine? Keep us up to school what's up?"

"Wait a minute, son. Maybe there are people out there who can help. You guys stay here."

"Good Mother!"

Cahya got out of the car. He stood in front of the hood of the car while staring fixedly at the part.

"It's free if I open the hood of the car. I also don't understand about machines like this," said Cahya while breathing a little heavy. He was confused as to how and what to do.

Cahya spread her gaze around. There was only a yellowing row of rice plants on his left right side. Because this area is indeed a rice field area.

"You don't want to, I have to book a taxi online to get the kids to school."

Cahya reached into the pocket of the game she was wearing. The woman had intended to book a taxi online to deliver her two daughters. Just as Cahya was about to open the app, her tail caught the shadow of a black car stopping right behind her car. Not long after came out the figure of a tall and sturdy man wearing formal clothes.

"What's wrong, Mommy? How do you stop by the road like this?" asked the man as he walked closer towards Cahya.

"This is Mas, my car suddenly broke down."

"Go on strike? Is it out of gas?"

"No, the gasoline is full. Looks like the engine part. But I don't understand either."

The man seemed to think for a moment. "Where is this mom going?"

"You're dropping off school for the kids. They're waiting in the car."

The man glanced at the circular time pointer on the wrist. He nodded his head, as if he had found a way out.

"Look at you Ma'am, it's better to book a taxi online first. While this car for a while I try to fix it. Fear if you wait for this car engine to come back to life, your children are late to school."

Cahya. In the way proposed by this man he was afraid if it was troublesome. "But Mas, isn't it a hassle?"

"Absolutely not Ma'am. I understand a little about the machine. Hopefully I can fix it."

Cahya smiled meaningfully. He nodded his head as a sign of agreeing to this man's proposal. "All right then. Again I apologize for being so troublesome."

"Absolutely not Mama."

Cahya approached her children who were still in the car. "Honey, go down first yuk. We're taking a cab online."

"Then how is your car? What's left here?" ask Alina.

"No dear." Cahya pointed towards the man who was standing in front of the hood of the car. "That's a good Om helping us."

Malika and Alina both spread their gazes towards the man. They ran a little closer to him.

"Om who is this? Is this Om the one who works in the workshop?" malika asked innocently.

The man watched with adhesion two little girls in blue uniforms who looked very pretty. He can only smile.

"Not Son, Om not a workshop worker. But Om knows little about machines like this. Hope your car's engine can live again."

Alina stared at this cynical foreign man before her. "Om really a good guy, right? Or the criminals who steal cars?"

Cahya. Both his eyes were wide. Didn't expect Alina to ask like that.

"Son, you can't say that. That's not polite, honey."

"Say ma'am teacher at school, now this often happens Bun car theft. Mother does not know this Om, right? Alina's afraid that this Om will take our car away."

Cahya smiled clumsyly. He really felt bad for the figure of this man due to the babbling of the eldest daughter. "I'm sorry about my son."

Unexpectedly, the man laughed. He felt that these two little children really understand the dangers of easily trusting unknown people.

"That's what the kids say, Ma'am." The man squatted down to align his height with Alina and Malika. He pulled out a small piece of paper he took out of his shirt pocket. "If Om takes your car, you can report Om to the police station. On this business card there is a name and also an Om office address."

Alina received the business card given by this man. The little girl spelled out the letters that were written there.

"Blue Sky? Is this Om's name?"

"Betul Nak, Sky Blue is the name Om. How, do you believe that this Om is not a bad guy?"

Alina seemed to think for a moment, but then she shook her head. "But Alina still doesn't believe it. It could be this Om using someone else's business card."

The man who turned out to be named Sky was increasingly made to open up. He really did not expect to meet such an intelligent child. Without many words, Heaven picked up something that was inside his car. Then he handed it to Alina.

"This is STNK car Om. This STNK you can take as a guarantee that Om will not take your car. Hows it? Is that enough to make you believe?"

Alina received the STNK given by the Sky and she handed it over to Cahya.

"Well, if it's like this Alina believes that this Om is not the bad guy Bun."

Cahya could only scratch the tip of her nose that did not itch. Really he felt bad if this man named Sky was offended by the attitude of the princess.

"I'm really sorry, Mom. Please forgive my daughter's attitude if it offends Mas Langit."

"Absolutely not Ma'am. I'm even amazed by them. At this young age, they can think critically. This is precisely the advantage of Mbak. That way they don't trust strangers easily."

Again Cahya could only smile clumsily. Shortly after, the online taxi he ordered arrived. Cahya and her two daughters are getting ready to board the online taxi.

"Thank you for Sky" said Alina after the mother closed the door to the taxi online.

"Together Son. Be careful on the road and the spirit of learning."
