Tease Om Om
Expecting the Presence of Aunt Elena.

At night, Shafira could not sleep well. He was not yet sleepy, still crumbling by staring at the ceiling of the room while imagining what if he and Victor were really pretending to be dating.

The idea Aleta gave was really a diamond. Yes, everyone knows the Javanese proverb ‘Tresno Iku jalaran also kulino’ which means ‘Love can be present because it is used to’ it is possible and can be used to pretending to date. Victor will really fall in love with him or maybe that way the Om will express his love.

To relieve the boredom, Syafira grabbed her phone. He immediately contacted Aleta. When viewed carefully the clock shows at 21:20. This means Aleta is still awake, because usually they will start preparing for sleep at the same time at 22:00 WIB

Connected calls. No wait for a long sounding voice from across.

“Halo,” greet Aleta.

“Halo, Aleta have you slept?” ask Syafira.

“Not yet!” he said in a loud voice.

“Aleta, I have good news,” Syafira said in a soft voice.

“Good news? Would Om Victor pretend to be dating you?” aleta shouted from across the phone. Be excited about what Syafira is going to say.

“Actually this is not necessarily. Only I've managed to persuade Aunt Elena to attend Xander's birthday. Hopefully, tomorrow Aunt Elena will actually come by once I've agreed to the terms that Om Victor has put forward, and then she will pretend to be my boyfriend!” syafira said full of joy.

“Then you should be sure. Aunt Elena's tomorrow will be at Xander's birthday party. Take it easy I will always help you Sya,” said Aleta excited. Just one more step, the tips he gave went as it should.

“Thank you Aleta!” syafira.

“There is no need to thank. Between friendships there are no words of thanks and sorry!” Aleta has said it many times.

“You. Can come on Xander's birthday show right?” ask Syafira.

“Sure I'll come. Who knows I saw a cool om-om. Om cooler than Om Victor!” aleta answered jokingly. “Eh wait, I don't like Om-Om!” correction that girl who prefers beautiful men like Korean boyband.

“Can you, yes we better sleep now!” bring Syafira. He needs Aleta, yes Aleta will be his love doctor from today.

“At the most you can't sleep tonight!” guess Aleta's holding back a laugh.

“Yes you are right!” answer Syafira.

The two laughed together.

“Have nice dreams, see you.”

“Have nice dream, see you too.”

The phone call ended. Syafira put her smartphone on the nightstand.

Drrr...

Drrr...

Syafira's phone vibrated with a message from Arsyan.

[Night Yes, how are you? I would love to look and see your situation but Aleta does not allow it ]

Syafira immediately opened a message from Arsyan. He expected the message from Om Victor. However, a kept replying to messages from Arsyan, not wanting his friend to worry too much!

[Situation has improved. I can walk. Take it easy maybe Monday or Tuesday I've had the bus to go to college. You don't have to worry! ]

After the message was sent, Syafira put her phone away. Even though he was in the same house as Om. He still cannot talk freely with her. Even now he had no reason to call. Should he send a message first, and make Xander's birthday show an excuse.

It was not until one minute that Syafira's smartphone shook again. There are two incoming messages at once. One message from Arsyan, and another from Victor. If only, his legs would not hurt. Syafira had already jumped up in joy from receiving a message from the Om.

Both beads of Syafira's eyes were fixed on the row of alphabets visible on the screen of his phone. The message of the Om consists of only two words, but is able to make Syafira's heart flowery.

[Not yet, Om ]

[His leg still hurt? ]

[Slightly, Om ]

[Have taken the medicine, right? ]

[It's been Om ]

[Have you eaten? ]

[ It's Om. Om Victa what else? ]

[I'm with Xander to bed! ]

[just go to bed Om, Victor must be tired ]

[Yes, I want to sleep. BTW, thank you, for persuading Elena to come. Thank you Syafira ]

[Same Om, but I don't want to just say thank you]

[Yes, what do you want. I will buy it later ]

[just tomorrow, I'll ask for the gift tomorrow! ]

Victor did not reply to any more messages from Syafira. Yes, he was very sure Syafira was thinking hard about the gift he asked for. The man did not bother, Syafira had indeed managed to persuade his ex-wife to come to Xander's birthday event. And deserve a prize. Whatever it is.

****

The living room of the Erlangga residence has been decorated in such a way. Many balloons are also a row of food and drinks specifically for children.

Some had already begun to attend, consisting of a pair of children and his mother. There are also colleagues from Mrs Hani and Pak Jaya. Syafira invites Aleta to Xander's birthday.

Crack the table with a pile of sweet foods and drinks. Kids the same age as Xander will love it.

In the middle of the room was a table, on top of which was a birthday cake. Shaped and designed like a doraemon. Fits Xander's favorite character.

Victor, who is on holiday, has greeted guests who came with Mrs Hani. Yeah, honestly, there's something she's waiting for, Elena.

Several times Victor made a phone call, to his ex-wife. However, his number was off as well, since this morning. Victor begins to fidget, fearing that the woman, cannot attend his son's birthday party.

Xander was changing clothes accompanied by Syafira, who had started to walk. Inevitably, even though his knee still hurts Syafira tried to be next to Xander. From Victor he knew that Elena wasn't at the party yet.

"Sister Syafira, has Mama come?" ask Xander. With Mbok Atun and Syafira, Xander walked down the stairs.

"Mama is coming soon Xander!" answer Syafira. Sometimes he looked at his phone and it was the same. Aunt Elena's number is not yet active.

"But Mama must have come? Look, Xander's friends have come." The boy observed that his friends had already come with their mother.

"Yes, my mom will be here soon!" Syafira tries to persuade Xander, although in fact he himself is also made to join by Elena's aunt who has no news. While the clock keeps rolling. In no less than a tenth of a minute, the feast of the year will begin soon.
