Aunt Melinda
The Forgotten



Linda enjoys her activities at home. It has been a long time since he was able to be what he is today.


Cooking with her husband and son. Serving both of them, who seemed impatient. To immediately eat the results of his cooking.


"Ma, hunted! Erli was hungry," whined Erli impatiently.


He also held his stomach with both hands. It was as if he was very hungry.


Unlike his papa, Ferry, who can only lie in bed. Linda's husband, calling her name continuously. As if he was afraid if he was forgotten by his wife.


"Sir. Make Papa don't forget!"


"Don't be hot!"


So much from inside the room.


Linda must be able to provide answers for her child and also her husband, in order to be patient for a while.


"Propay me, baby!"


"Mama is picking potatoes. If you two are still noisy, the fries will be eaten by Mama herself!"


In Erli's room, waiting for his papa, brought a tos.


"That. Tos yuk!"


"Tos for what?" tanya Ferry was confused, with his son's invitation.


"Bikin Mama. Hihihi..."


Erli immediately closed his own mouth, using both palms.


"Hihihi.. pinter his son Papa," said Ferry, pointing his thumb at Erli. After the two of them did a tos together.


Do the doorway of the room, Linda clucked. Heard the words of her son who was still giggling with her husband.


"CZ. It turned out!"


Erli and Ferry both looked at each other in shock. They both didn't know if Linda was at the door.


"Mama..."


Erli shouted, then ran to hit his mother. Because his height is only limited to his upper legs Linda, he hugged both legs. By drowning his face.


"Erli seneng Mama at home. Cook for Erli, nemenin Erli play. Erli is very happy!"


Linda was moved, hearing her son's words. He stroked the top of Erli's head, with anxiety.


"Unfortunately Mama Hak is seducing, right, so don't get angry?"


Erli looked up. He also shook his head several times.


Linda who was in a down state, saw how her son. He smiled happily, then released his son's hand, which was coiled around his upper leg.


Now, Linda squats, to align herself with erli.


"Erli wants to go to school?" linda asked her son, who was already in kindergarten. But for a small TK level.


Quickly, Erli nodded in agreement to the question asked by his mother.


"You Ma, you want!" yelled Erli with jumping up and down in excitement.


Ferry smiled, in bed. See how about his wife and son, who looks so happy.


In Ferry's heart, he felt grateful. Because with the calamity that he experienced yesterday afternoon, bring closer their small family relationships that feel bland lately.


"But, at Kindergarten where's the Deck? if you want to enroll Erli in school."


Linda turned her attention to Ferry. She knew that her husband must be worried about Erli's condition if he had gone to school later.


He himself could not have been able to send and pick up Erli. Because he also has to work, from morning to afternoon. Sometimes even at night.


Her husband, too, was unable to do anything. Just like always.


Maybe, for five or six months later, her husband was able to walk and pick Erli up. But, for two months later, it certainly can't.


"We'll think about it later. There are many kindergarten schools now. In fact, some are until noon or afternoon. So TK's there's TPA too."


"TA?" tanya Ferry, who does not yet know what the abbreviation of TPA is.


"Mas' daycare center" Linda replied giving an explanation to her husband.


"Oh..."


Ferry's mouth is just breaking. Only then did he understand.


"Emhhh... What if it is placed in Kindergarten in Linda Mas village? At least, mom or dad can pick up Erli, if Mas departs alone who intervenes."


"But for a while, when Mas still can't ya Linda's between Erli."


Linda proposed, so that they would not be confused with Erli's school later.


"Yeeee... Erli school TK. There are a lot of friends near the sewage house as well TK Pa, Ma!"


Erli was happy, with his mother's proposal. Because in his house of worship, he already has friends. Their house was around his house of worship as well.


Erli's playmate, if he's in his covert house.


"Aren't you next year? Let's not trouble mom and dad either." Ferry seems to have other thoughts.


Linda saw her husband, to ask for an explanation.


"Hmmm..."


Ferry took a deep breath, before he gave an explanation to his wife, Linda.


According to Ferry, if he is in good health, he can shuttle Erli himself.at any kind of Kindergarten, he is ready.


"But Mas, if next year, erli is in the age of big Kindergarten. Is he able to keep up with his friends who have been in school since Little Kindergarten?"


"Even now, there's Paud. Early childhood education."


Linda again gave an excuse, why Erli school can not be delayed until next year again.


Ferry took a long breath. He saw his silent son looking at him. As if hoping that he would approve his mother's proposal earlier.


"But ask for approval from mom and dad first Dek. If they object, don't. We'll just hire a taxi driver first. Put TK near here, or put rice milling."


"Yes Mas. So is good" Linda responded.


Finally, the agreement regarding Erli's school was completed.


Linda said goodbye to her son and husband, to prepare the three of them lunch.


Tables and chairs in Linda's order in such a way, inside the room. This was because Erli wanted to eat together with his papa in the room. Because his father couldn't possibly sit in a chair.


So, her chair was positioned near the bed, so Erli felt like he was sitting together while eating together with his papa.


Erli was also busy helping his mother, by arranging dishes and spoons at the dinner table.


Linda, who brought her rice, side dishes and vegetables. Because all the cooking is still hot.


Now, the three of them were ready to eat food for the first time, at home. With food cooked by Linda herself.


Things he never did again, since working in the factory.


Because of the busy work, and a little time at home. Make her feel far away from her own child and husband.


Forgetting all his main duties as a wife and mother of his child.


On the sidelines of bribing food into his mouth, Erli said to his mother, "Ma. I'll have another gini dinner tonight!"


Linda just nodded her head, then smiled to see her son and husband eat with her greed.


Ferry who can not eat alone, must be fed by Linda.


"Thank you Dek" said Ferry, when the last feed was done he chewed and swallowed.


Linda's smile expanded earlier. There is a satisfaction, with seeing Erli and Ferry smiling, while enjoying their own cuisine.
