Aunt Melinda

Not to be Thought

Arriving home, Erli immediately changed clothes. Assisted by her mother. When she finished, Linda went to the stall. To buy vegetables and seasonings kitchen to cook food.

Ferry guarded and accompanied Erli, in front of the tv. Who was coloring his picture book, which was from school.

"Sir Linda tumben at home from yesterday huh?" ask warung mom. Maybe because two rarely saw Linda at home. Especially until shopping to the stall, as it is today.

"Yes Mom. It's time off" replied Linda, who was picking vegetables on the stall table.

"Oh. yummy yes Linda. Work in a factory with a big salary. Mas Ferry also bakulan rice. The money must be a lot yes," said the shop mother, who calculates Linda's family income.

Linda only responded with a faint smile, hearing there were outsiders who actually counted how much money Linda saved each month.

"Mbak Linda and Mas Ferry definitely have a lot of savings. Mumpung Erli is still a child, made sister also Sister Linda!"

"Hehehe. Do it every night," said Linda with her own chuckle, when she realized if the answer was too bad.

"Hehehe. Uh, but ati-ati is Linda. Ferry is young, handsome again. Surely many rice baskets that buy merchandise like teh-godain. Aren't you afraid of Linda?"

The shop mother kept Linda talking to all the questions she asked. In fact, Linda only responded with a smile or a nod of the head.

"Mom, this is it. Please all total. I want to cook right away," Linda asked, who actually did not like all the questions asked by the shop mother.

According to Linda, stall mothers meddle too much in other people's affairs. And if he knows a little, it will be spread again to mothers who shop in his stall. And the news will soon spread, without knowing the accuracy and truth of the news.

It is very natural, in the lives of people in general.

Arriving home, Linda went straight into the kitchen. He does not want to delay the work. Because her son and her husband must have been very hungry.

While waiting for the dishes he made to ripen, Linda peeled the mango and melon, to give to Erli.

"Mas!"

"Yes Dek, what's wrong?" answer Ferry from the front of the tv.

But not long after, Ferry showed up in the kitchen. Because he knew his wife was in need of his help.

"It's Mas. Please Erli in the fruit bribe first. Make a Ferry as well, "pinta Linda, because if you take all the cooking is cooked, it's still a few minutes away.

Only after a few minutes later, Linda came back to the front of the tv, carrying dishes containing food from the dish.

"Yeeee..."

Erli exclaimed happily, because he could finally eat and enjoy the food cooked by his mother.

"I'm sorry, if the food is not good Mama," said Linda, who rarely cooks now.

"Definitely delicious Deck. I've been a long time too, Mas did not eat kayak gini. mas like it," said Ferry, by convincing his wife. If he likes his wife's cooking.

Finally, the three of them ate their lunch. Enjoy their company, which is rarely done. With the reason of the busyness that is now taking up a lot of their time.

*****

At night, when Erli was asleep. Linda wanted to ask her husband. About what he had heard in the rice mill. That afternoon.

"Mas. Uhhh... Linda can ask you something?"

Very carefully, Linda asked Ferry what she had heard.

"What Deck?" replied Ferry, asking again.

Linda did not answer the question directly from her husband. He thought again, whether this question would create a new problem between the two of them, for a long time there was no great quarrel anymore.

"Promise not to be angry!"

"Emhhhh this earlier, Linda accidentally heard from some people in the rice mill. It was noon."

Linda finally began to tell her husband what she had heard from the conversation of the people in the rice mill.

Ferry was silent, listening to what his wife said.

"Linda's heard, Ferry used to be sick. Do you remember Mas? When there's a call, and it's from Nana's mom?"

Linda reminded Ferry of the incident she experienced when she fell and could not walk at the time.

Ferry tried to calm his heart and face, to keep a calm look when answering questions from his wife. "Yes. And I gave you an explanation, didn't Dek?"

Ferry also recalled, about the incident. But, at that time he had already explained to his wife, if mbak Nana was one of the regular customers of his rice basket.

"But these people were not like that Mas said," said Linda, who cast doubt on the explanation given by her own husband.

"Not like that how's the Deck?"

"Here you go, here and there! His name is also a rice trader, who menggerubunin Mas ya mothers are also mostly."

Ferry dodged to give further explanation, by pulling his wife's hip. And finally, Linda fell into his lap.

"No need to talk about unimportant things. What matters is how we got through tonight so well."

"Old time, we can't relax when we make love. Wanna?" tanya Ferry, continued her sentence earlier. He doesn't want to talk about Nana more. Because she was afraid that, there was an explanation that would add to Linda's suspicion later.

Linda nodded in agreement with her husband's request. She had also long since, not served her husband well. Because his body was exhausted all day. Because of his work in the factory.

*****

The next day, the rush at Linda's house happened as usual again.

Linda was tidy early in the morning, because today she had returned to her usual activities. I work in a shoe factory.

She woke Erli up, while her husband was taking a bath.

"Dear Erli. Wake up beautiful!"

"Emmhh... Mama" said Erli, who still looked lazy to open his eyes.

"Dear, let's get up! Mama has to go to work again this morning" Linda said, gently patting her son's shoulders.

"Well! Mama's working again?" erli asked quickly, with eyes bulging.

"Yes," Linda replied, nodding in agreement.

"Well, Mama..why don't you take another vacation?" ask Erli, who does not know how the rules work in the company.

"Hehehe. Sometimes, mama's on leave again!"

Erli looked disappointed, because today there was no mother, who would take him and pick him up to school.

There will only be papa. And she will also be at TPA all the time from her time home from school to the afternoon. It was boring for Erli himself.
