Aunt Melinda
He's Brother Romi



At night, in Linda's room.


Tik tok, tik tok.


The sound of the clockwork, on the table, which was near the bed, did not get the attention of Linda.


From now on, Linda just sat quietly and pensively by herself, imagining how she had met, with someone who was already in her heart, even though only as a secret admirer only.


That someone is, her upperclassman Linda, with two levels of difference.


So, when Linda was in first grade High School, someone was in third grade. And the location of the building and its class is also different.


Linda knew if, that someone was a neighbor of her village as well.


But because someone was also shy, just like Linda, eventually they both never had to talk, about something they felt, in the heart.


They, Linda and the guy just keep all the flavors, which they have. Without ever being able to reveal, each other.


Linda felt that someone was important and had a name, in her old school, because she was a member of a spiritual, or religious school.


As for someone who, assuming that, Linda is an extraordinary girl, that she could not possibly have.


Linda smiled to herself, as she recalled the incident that happened inside the village transport earlier this afternoon.


"Eh, Deck Linda. Right Linda Deck right?" ask the person, by mentioning Linda by name, and ask also, as a matter of fact, to greet Linda, who is now sitting not far from her own seat.


"Yes Brother. I'm Linda. Sister.. emhhh, anu sister her name..."


"Romi," said Romi, who felt that if, Linda had trouble or could have forgotten, by her name.


"Hehehe. yes, brother Romi. How's Brother doing?" linda asked, at a time when she felt embarrassed, because she could not name Romi, and even though she had to be reminded first by the person herself.


"Nothing Deck. There must be a lot of names in Linda Deck's memory."


Romi understands, if Linda forgets her name. She thought that, Linda there are many male friends, because in the past, Linda was often surrounded by boys at school.


Although actually, Linda also felt very uncomfortable, with what she experienced during school first.


*****


During school, Linda did have many friends of male gender, or guys.


His friends are men, indeed many who often come to his seat, during school breaks.


Some deliberately come by bringing food, or drinks.


But there are also those who blatantly, ask him to make her a girlfriend.


Things Linda always avoided and feared.


A relationship that is closer than just a friend.


One thing that actually can not be interpreted by Linda herself. Because of all her fear, Linda also felt very happy and satisfied, if she became the center of attention of people, who were around her. Especially if he is a man.


Praised and flattered by her fellow girls, Linda felt very happy. Especially if, who praised him was a man, who was chased by many girls in his school.


But because of that, her friends Linda became envious, and sneered at her as a cheap girl.


Especially if the friend knew, what usually brought by the people who came to Linda's seat.


And of course, it was a lot of fun for Linda, who was limited in her allowance.


In fact, Linda never ordered, or asked those who often brought food or drinks for her.


"It's okay. This is made in eating together. A friend talks, rather than just talking."


And finally, Linda really no longer fuss, whatever her girl friends say.


He considered that, they only felt envious, with what he had.


Therefore, Romi did not dare to approach Linda. Moreover, at that time he was also a member of the rohis children in school.


He must keep the image, as a devout spiritualist.


But after Romi graduated, and Linda moved up to second grade, Romi found out about the truth, to Linda.


Because actually, Linda only considers herself an ordinary person, and not an idol in school.


Linda just assumed all her boy friends were ordinary friends.


But because he had already graduated from school and there was no chance to be able to meet again with Linda, finally Romi just kept all his own feelings in his heart.


Romi goes to work in the big city, and tries to find his own luck, to be able to change his own life and his family.


A few days ago, Romi had just returned from the city. And today, she goes to her sister's school, which used to be her place to seek knowledge as well.


However, Romi's luck came again, when the village transportation he was riding, stopped and raised a female passenger.


And it turns out, that girl is Linda. His classmate, whom he still loves to this day.


Linda also never expected that, she could still meet with her upperclassman.


Linda can only keep all her feelings to herself, as she feels that she does not deserve Romi.


"Left Sir!"


Romi quickly asked the village transport driver to stop his transport car. Because the school is gone.


"Come on Dek" Romi asked, as he got off the village transport car.


Linda nodded and immediately got off the village transport car, then charged Romi, who paid the fare.


Romi, who paid Linda's fare, too.


"Thank you, sister" said Linda, because it has also been paid the freight.


"Yes, same Deck."


As the two of them walked to school, Romi asked him to speak.


"Tomorrow is there a Dek event?" romi asked, because he wanted to invite Linda, to meet and talk to him.


"Linda works sister."


"Oh, where are you working?" ask Romi again.


"That's, in the wooden warehouse, which is not far from the sub-district market."


Romi nodded his head, hearing the answer given by Linda.


"Dec Linda's on the phone? If there is, tomorrow-tomorrow we can talk by phone," asked Romi, who intended to ask Linda for her phone number.


**At that time, the phone was still a luxury item, because it was not so famous and sophisticated, just like today.


"Sorry, Linda doesn't have one."


Linda replied timidly, because she did not have a cell phone.
