ehh... Think about it for a few more seconds.. You are pushing a route to 
the client that sais that is should route traffic for 129.69.90.128/29 via 
your OpenVPN tunnel! What about the OpenVPN traffic itself, how is it now 
supposed to find it´s way to your server 129.69.90.133?

You will have to either push a host route for 129.69.90.133 via your old 
default gateway, or split the subnet into smaller pieces that does not 
include .133 and push them all.
