Tease Om Om
Rules of Victor.

Victor sat in the family room on the 2nd floor. The room was in the middle of another room and was usually a playground for his son. There are sofas and TVs, equipped with fur carpets with light gray color in line with the color of the sofa.

The man again observed the rules that Syafira had given him. He chuckles silently while shaking his head can usually make the rules that incriminate one side.

Victor opened the Word app on his tablet. Then, start writing the rules he wants. Rules that can still maintain his rights, which only pretend to date with the girl.

Second party rules that the first party must follow.

1. No one else can know about this incident. Especially all the family members of the second party [Victor ].

2. Dating status will only be lived for two months. Can't be more than that. And the first party [Syafira ] could not do an extension of the time that the second party had agreed [Victor ].

3. The second party is not obliged to take the first party to go to college.

4. Go on a Sunday night only if the second party is not on a work schedule. And it's not something to do every Sunday night.

5. No physical contact, just a hand.

6. There are no teaching and learning events. But the first party has free access to the library room where many books can be read to add insight.

7. All physical contact, can only be made when there is no one other than the first party and the second party.

Victor stared satisfiedly at the screen of his tablet. All the rules he made will not be able to make Syafira assortment especially until dominating the rest time he used to use with Xander or me time.

Victor immediately closed the screen of his tablet as the sound of footsteps approached. And as it turned out, it was the sound of Elena's footsteps.

“You haven't slept?” asked the woman, without feeling awkward she took a seat next to her ex-husband who may have been a year or so she had not met.

“He, I can't sleep yet,” replied Victor. He shifted his seat and took the time to send a message to Syafira. Sending a rule that has just been typed.

“Then can we talk for a minute?” ask Elena. He took a comfortable sitting position and did not want to rush away from there.

“Say,” said Victor was flat and did not respond too much to his ex-wife. What happened in the past, was enough to make him deeply hurt.

“So I talked to my mom and mom asked me to think about Xander. Oh yes, two more months of my research in Africa is over, I will return to Jakarta, and most likely I will re-think for our relationship in the future.” Elena, was forced to convey what was in her head. I don't know why what her mother-in-law said was so touching. What's more he can't see Xander any closer to anyone else. That person is Syafira.

“Our relationship?” ask Victor cynically. It did not cross her mind at all to want to re-build the household with Elena. Her marriage with Elena is over, giving wounds and leaving traumas.

“Iya—,”

It's not over Elena said Victor got up from sitting down. “There is nothing to talk about between us, let alone about our relationship. It was over!” said the man. Then he just left Elena. Go into the room and choose not to care about her.

Elena chose indifferently. She has not yet decided on her mother-in-law's proposal, to re-refer to Victor. And as for her ex-husband, Elena is very confident that Victor still has a taste for her.

In the morning Syafira woke up at 06:05 WIB. Fits the alarm on his phone. Then, he did not immediately read the message from Si Om. The girl chose to immediately get out of her seat and immediately take a shower. Yes, today is the schedule of wound control on his knee. And it's most likely that Victor will be dropping her off this morning as well.

As before, Syafira will take a bath in the bathroom that is in Xander's room. The difference is, this morning there was Elena there.

“Tante, I'm permission to take a quick shower yes.” Syafira entered Xander's room slowly.

Elena nodded while putting her index finger on her lips. Asking Syafira not to make a sound because Xander was still sleeping soundly.

The girl nodded, then walked slowly towards the bathroom.

It was not until fifteen minutes that Shafira had finished performing all her bathing rituals. Then, he came out of the bathroom. As per Elena's instructions, she walked very slowly and said goodbye with only her index finger gesture.

Unexpectedly, Elena followed Syafira and entered the girl's room.

“What's Aunt?” ask Syafira.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?” the woman shows her face behind the door.

“Oh, auntie, yes please enter.” Syafira invited Aunt Elena to sit on her narrow bed.

“Thank you. Sorry to interrupt for a second. There's something I want to talk to you about,” that woman's ribbon. He smiled kindly and knew how to take the day of the young lady currently before him.

“What aunty,” said Syafira friendly. This time, he did not put any jealousy on the woman in the slightest. He understood that Elena's name was no longer in Si Om's heart.

“It's about Xander, emm— I have to go back to Africa. I have to finish my contract which is still two months away, then I can return to Jakarta.” Elena took a pause for a moment, and looked at Syafira so that their eyes met.

Syafira gave no response. He was still waiting for what the woman would say next.

“For so long, I haven't come home will you take care of Xander Sya, I don't want to be lonely. With us in this house at least he has a friend to talk to before his papa resumes work. You know, you don't care for Xander?” pinta Elena's. He thought this was the right choice, he could judge Syafira from what the girl said when persuading her to attend the party yesterday. That means, Syafira does have a sense of caring for her son.

“Iya aunt, I'll be here for the next two months.” In Syafira's happy heart, she has a reason to stay in this house and at least get to see Om Victor every night.

“I trust you Sya,” Elena said. He smiled friendly.

“Sama-sama Aunt.” Syafira returned a smile from the woman who was the ex-wife of the man she liked.

Suddenly the door opened. “Good morning Sa—,” Victor did not continue his remarks. Surprised to see Elena who was inside Syafira's room.
