Aunt Melinda

Appointment

In the morning, Romi turns out to meet Linda's arrival near the road, where the direction of the wooden warehouse, which became where Linda worked.

"Sir Romi" Linda said, surprised to see Romi standing and smiling at her.

"For Linda's Deck."

Romi answered Linda's greeting, and smiled with a sigh.

To Linda, Romi's smile, beating the bright sunlight, was shining this morning.

"Where are you going?" Linda asked, who did not want to put high hopes, assuming that, Romi was deliberately waiting for her.

Linda thinks that, Romi accidentally passed by, because there was a need, and saw himself, so reprimanded him, because Romi was indeed a friendly person.

"So don't want to come here on the Deck."

But as it turned out, the answer given by Romi, made Linda feel like she was flying into the clouds.

Such an answer, however, is very ordinary. And not something special.

Linda smiled faintly, and looked on nervously, as there were some people who were paying attention to her and Romi's jga at this moment.

"What time do you go to work, Deck?" ask Romi, Linda.

"You're going home from work, you're here, aren't you?"

Romi asked Linda. In fact, the question asked earlier, has not been answered by Linda as well.

"Emhhh..Where are you going, brother?" ask Linda, who does not understand, with what Romi said earlier.

"Not going anywhere. Just want to talk to Dek Linda. Does Deck Linda mind?"

Linda was immediately in a fog, upon hearing the question that Romi had asked for her.

Linda didn't mean it that way.

"Linda... Linda can do it, sister. But not at night, brother. Afraid to go home."

Finally, Linda agreed to Romi's request, which would pick her up later in the afternoon, when it was time to get home from work.

Romi smiled happily, hearing the answer given by Linda just now.

"Sister is coming later in the afternoon. Wait, yes" said Romi, excitedly. And it was very evident from the smile on his face.

*****

All day, Linda worked with a smile. This was because he felt happiness, for the attention that Romi had given him.

Especially later in the afternoon, Romi will come to pick him up, after work later in the afternoon.

Linda felt impatient, waiting for a slow time. And the clock, like it never spins.

"Tok day feels long huh?" muttered Linda, who asked about the oddity that happened to kada today.

"What's up Lin? It seems, you are restless and not calm. What's up?" ask Mbak Tami, who noticed how Linda's behavior from earlier.

Linda really felt uneasy. Two continuously, looking towards the wall clock, which was beside his seat, their workbench was both.

"Emhhhh.. anu Mbak, that's. uh it's okay."

Ma'am Tami is getting confused, with what Linda said.

The answer given by Linda, disjointed, and it indicates that, Linda is in a state of uneasiness and unease.

"What's Linda. Just talk to the same mother. Maybe Ma'am can help you" Tami said, trying to calm Linda's heart.

Although Linda physically lost to Linda, but she remained good and did not feel getting a rival.

Either at work, or with the attention given by the employees in this wooden warehouse.

"Anu Ma'am, that... Linda's got an appointment with Linda's old friend."

Finally, nervously, Linda can also say, what was asked by Mbak Tami earlier.

"Friends?" repeat Ms. Tami, a question too.

Linda just nodded, then went back to doing her job, which she had not finished.

Nervousness and fear of being discovered, if she is going to meet a guy, makes Linda must be able to avoid every question and things that make Mbak Tami suspicious.

In fact, Linda's attitude like this, actually makes Mbak Tami ask.

However, Tami will no longer ask Linda. She didn't want to make Linda feel uncomfortable, if she asked, and like she was investigating something.

Ma'am Tami thinks that, Linda is mature enough, to think something is good and not harming herself.

*****

The day felt long, because in the wait by Linda, finally changed also with the afternoon.

Excitedly, Linda tidied up all the books and notes, which were on her desk.

"I'm behind my duku, Lin, waiting in front. Be careful when you get home!"

Ma'am Tami said she wanted to go home first, because her fiance, had come to pick her up.

"Yes Ma'am," replied Linda short.

All the officers, too, were getting ready to go home.

"Lin, lock your warehouse that you're holding. Tomorrow I'm not going to work. Mr. Mandor didn't come here, get the keys. Please, please, go there. I'm in a hurry."

Linda was confused, because she had never brought the key to this wooden warehouse.

Usually, one of the employees or the guys, who brought it, and handed it to the foreman who was in the production warehouse next door.

But because the person asked her for help, Linda was finally unable to refuse the request.

"Yes Mas. Linda will love to the foreman."

Moments later, Linda locked the door to the wooden shed. After which, he walked first towards the production warehouse place next to the wooden warehouse where he worked.

"Tumben Linda came here?"

From the side, the foreman reprimanded Linda's arrival to the production warehouse.

"Emhhh. This is Sir, Linda... Linda wants to give me the key to the wood shed."

Linda handed the key, which she had been holding from earlier, to the foreman.

"Well, where are your loving, ordinary tumbens going?"

Linda explained to the foreman that, the person who used to hold the key to the warehouse, was in a hurry, and tomorrow did not go to work.

"Mbak Tami has also returned, sir," Linda said, ending her explanation.

The foreman nodded in understanding, and he had an idea, to be able to take Linda home with him, along with him later.

"Can you wait a minute, right? I'll take you home with me."

What the foreman meant was, he wanted to drive Linda home, and he wanted to know Linda's house.

"Sorry sir, Linda's coming home now" Linda replied, rejecting the foreman's offer.

"I brought Lin's motorcycle, so it won't be late at home" said the foreman, giving an explanation, because he thought that, Linda was afraid of the night if taking the village transportation.

**At that time, the motor was not as much as it is now. Who have a motor vehicle, also not just anyone, and the number is not much. This is because, the purchase must be cash and credit system, not yet valid as it is today.
