"Sorry, Mr. foreman, Linda's been picked up."
Finally, Linda told the truth, so that the foreman no longer had any hope of gaining sympathy from her.
Linda did not want to see, the foreman continued to expect attention from her, because Linda herself, indeed never had any feelings for the foreman.
Finally Mr. Mandor fell silent, and no longer said anything.
He realized that Linda was not interested in a relationship with him, who had not officially separated from his wife, who fled several years ago.
And now, the foreman also saw, when Linda had gone out from before him, then met a man, who had been waiting for Linda's arrival, not far from the road, in front of this wooden shed.
"It turns out Linda already has a boyfriend. It's worth it, he never seemed interested in me."
Mr. Boss muttered alone, when Linda had left with her lover, according to the foreman.
Now, he was getting ready to go home, and inspect all the corners of the production warehouse that no one was already in.
All officers, they're home. Staying himself, who was indeed used to go home the last, after making sure that, everything was safe to leave behind.
*****
When Linda was out of work.
Romi, already waiting for himself by the side of the road, not far from Linda's workplace.
"It's over?" romi asked, when Linda was in front of him.
Linda just nodded, and did not answer the question from Romi.
"Let's go, then" Romi asked, as Linda could only stay in front of him at this moment.
Finally, Romi invites Linda to go somewhere, using a Vespa motorbike.
The two of them, went towards the county town, which was certainly more crowded and many shops were open at night.
The Vespa stopped at a store, where it turned out to be a mobile phone shop.
"Cook over here, brother?" linda was confused.
Linda knew that Romi already had a cell phone. So, it is not possible if Romi will buy a mobile phone again.
And Linda herself, it is not possible to also buy a cellphone, because at that time, ordinary mobile phones, still included special items at expensive prices.
"Yes. Brother wants to buy a cellphone," replied Romi kalem.
Linda's estimate was wrong. Romi really wants to buy a new phone.
But moments later, after Romi got a phone with the same model as he had, Linda just knew, what Romi wanted.
Mobile with a famous brand in his time, with rhombus models. And of course, not many have this special item.
And Romi already has one. Even now, he bought another new one.
But apparently, the new phone, given Romi to Linda.
"Sister Brother. This is very expensive" said Linda, who refused to accept the phone box.
Linda felt unworthy of the new phone. Moreover, the price could be to buy a few grams of gold.
Things that Linda could not have, even if only in a dream.
"This is for You Deck. Let's call each other, or send a message. We could be closer."
"But this, this is an expensive item" said Linda, who still felt uncomfortable, if she had to receive the phone.
"You accept my love too, let you not hesitate," said Romi, who apparently, intends to shoot Linda, to be her boyfriend.
Embarrassedly, Linda finally understood, what Romi meant.
Long story short, finally they both officially dating, and know each other's mobile number as well.
"Although Big Brother works in a big city, we can still get in touch and know the news."
Linda nodded in agreement with the words of Romi, her first boyfriend. The old boyfriend, only in Linda's dreams.
"We don't have to think about pulses and stuff. Later brother will send from the city," said Romi again, explaining to Linda, to be calm and not think about the pulse of the idle, which at that time also included expensive.
That's finally. The two of them, Linda and Romi, officially date and have a long-distance relationship, because of Romi's work, which is in the big city.
Linda's mother and father, of course, feel very happy, because Linda has an unclean boyfriend, according to both of them.
It was evident from what he was giving Linda at the moment.
Moreover, Romi was also a good and well-mannered youth.
But, Linda's parents, not yet know for sure, what Romi's job in the city. Whose child, from the village in a different sub-district also with them.
*****
Linda and Romi, being lovers who have always been fine, in these few months.
Their relationship is also adem ayem, without any obstacles or pressure from certain parties.
Although now Romi is also no longer at home, but has returned to work to the big city, his relationship with Linda, remains intertwined, thanks to the mobile phone, which is already owned by Linda as well.
The two of them, often make phone calls, at night.
And they can both send messages to each other, if it's time during the day, because it's working too.
Of course, Linda who currently has a new cellphone, did not escape the attention of Ms. Tami, and other employees.
The foreman also knows, if now, Linda already has a boyfriend.
"So, the foreman retreated?" mama Tami asked, when there was an opportunity to talk to the foreman.
"hey are. Why I'm after Linda, who I never felt with me. Moreover, his girlfriend Linda also looks good young man really," said the foreman, answering a question from Mbak Tami.
"Indeed, foreman ever see? his girlfriend Linda works in a big city" Tami said, recalling some things, about Romi, his girlfriend Linda.
"Yes. He works in a big city. But I've seen her boyfriend."
Mbak Tami seemed to nod his head, hearing the explanation given by the foreman just now.
"Thank God then. Hopefully, the foreman can get a girl, as a new wife candidate later."
"Eh, but solve it first, the problem of the foreman with his wife who ran away," said mbak Tami, giving input and also hope for the life of the foreman, so that it is better than before.
"Yes, Ma'am Tami. Perhaps, some of the girls I approached, and ended up retreating, because of my unclear status as well."
Finally, the foreman realized, if his status as a dangling widower, could not be ascertained as someone who is free.
The foreman still has marriage ties. And that is certainly shunned by good women, and want to be serious in a relationship.
It's not just ambition and play.
