Linda is still in the hospital, waiting for her father. Along with his mother too.
While her husband, Ferry, went home first with his sister, Danang.
"Linda wants to quit Mom's job."
Suddenly, Linda said something her own mother never expected. Because all this time, there were no complaints made by Linda. About the work he did at the shoe company.
"Why?"
Linda did not answer the question directly. He let out a long sigh, then threw it away slowly before opening his mouth to speak.
"Linda's not comfortable."
The answer given by Linda, made her mother confused. Because he doesn't know, what's going on at the shoe factory. Where Linda works.
"Why is it uncomfortable?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, before Linda finally let out a rough breath.
"Hahhhh!"
Her mother looked at her daughter, with a confused face. During this time, he did pay less attention to the condition of his son from childhood. That's why, he never knew. How is Linda's heart and mind all along.
Moreover, Linda also never complained about anything. This child always looks fine, behind her pretty face from childhood.
Finally Linda's mother realized. If she can't understand how her children are.
Their underprivileged family life, making him have to think to be able to get money. In order to help the family economy can still go well.
She and her husband, pay less attention to the psychiatric condition of their own children.
Perhaps this is the case for most lower-class families. Who live in difficult circumstances. So you can only think how to survive. Money to meet their needs.
This idea has also become commonplace for some people in general.
Husband and wife work all day. While their children, only handed over to the nanny or child care party. By relying on their money to pay for these services.
But the neglected is precisely the mental condition of the child. Who feel less affection, confidence in themselves and problems that will arise in the future.
Especially if the busyness of both their parents, it is fatal. With the occurrence of a separation, or divorce of both parents.
General dilemma that occurs, for the condition of society in this day and age. With the demands on the needs of life, which is getting uphill.
"Do you want to take care of Erli yourself?"
"Mom I mean, you want to be an ordinary housewife at home? Take care of your son and husband, just like you used to?" ask Linda's mother, trying to guess what her son really thinks.
There was no answer given by Linda, when her mother gave the question.
He just kept quiet, without giving his mother a word. Related to his plan to immediately recover from his current job.
Though according to Linda's mother, the position owned by Linda is very good. His salary is also quite large. And of course, Linda can have a good connection. If there are family members, or neighbors. Who want to enter the company.
But it seems like Linda has been thinking about this matter for a while. He couldn't possibly be rash, in deciding something. Moreover, it is related to the economy of his own family.
Linda was very excited to work. Linda said, she could prove to her husband, Ferry, that she could not just stand by. But he can also make money. It was even much greater than the income from her husband back then. When her husband was working as a police officer.
Especially now, Ferry is only a rice trader. Financial ups and downs must be there.
Luckily, Linda is working. And this is also what Linda's mother feared, in case the child had to quit her current job.
Economic hardship, it's gonna stress Ferry. So as to make his son-in-law back light hands. And Linda's mother certainly did not want if, it happened again in the family life of her son in the future.
"Lin," called Linda's mother, while she was still silent. And don't want to say anything.
"There is no Mom. Linda's just tired of that job."
Finally Linda stroked the voice, despite the truth, her mother was very sure. If it wasn't like that, that's why Linda wanted to quit her job.
"Yes up to you Lin. Who is doing the job yourself. Who feels it too you. Good and not, you know it too. So it's up to you."
Hearing the words spoken by her mother, Linda just nodded. He did not add or say anything, about the circumstances he was actually thinking about at the moment.
Moments later, Linda turned to her father. Who is currently asleep.
'Sis. Linda never asked anything of you. But this time, Linda asked you to be healthy again! Linda still wants to see you live with us.'
Linda's mind says a lot of things. But of course, it was only in his heart. Just like always.
Nothing can only be Linda inner. Without letting him out, so that others would know. How his heart felt and was at that moment.
Linda was seen taking out her cell phone, which was in her pants pocket.
He'll call Mr. Yus. To ask for permission, or to make a leave request. A few days ahead.
Under the current circumstances, Linda also could not ignore her responsibilities. As a supervisor just like that. Because there was indeed a great deal of work, which he should have completed for today. And tomorrow, too.
But it looks like Linda didn't call Mr. Yus. Because it's night. And the time to work is also over. He felt bad, if he had to contact Mr. Yus at duty-free hours. Moreover, just to discuss permission or leave.
Finally Linda put the phone back in her pants pocket.
He'll call Mr. Yus in the morning. Or it could be, he would ask Danang. To go to work, and take care of the city letter he needs.
"So Danang said no, if you go back to the hospital again Lin?"
Suddenly, her mother asked about her sister. Who until tonight, has not yet come to the hospital.
"No. Danang didn't say anything, ma'am. Why the hell?" The answer given by Linda, is a question as well. Which his mother could not answer quickly.
"Mother hungry?"
"Let Linda buy some food out first! what food do you want to buy?" ask Linda, guessing. If her mother is hungry.
But it turns out Linda's guess is not true. Because his mother had dodged a few times, to answer his question.
