Different Thought One Purpose



While Linda was in the hospital waiting for her father, Ferry came to bring lunch to Linda and her mother. Because if it's the afternoon, Danang will bring food for the two of them.


Because Linda also came home at night, about eight or nine in the evening.


His father had started to improve, but could not do anything. And this, is the second day, where Linda's on leave. Because tomorrow morning, he'll have to go to work again. And his position to take care of his father, replaced by Danang.


In the afternoon, Danang arrived at the hospital ahead of the magrib. He had to stop by the house first, to take a shower and all the food he had to bring to the hospital.


"No. You ask the doctor tomorrow. If you don't change, what if we move to a bigger hospital."


"In the hospital, the health equipment is also complete and sophisticated as well. How do you think?" Linda asked her sister for her opinion. Because they are the ones who have to take care of all this.


Linda's mother couldn't possibly take care of these kinds of things. And only yes, then resigned to what was said by the doctor and the hospital alone. Because besides him there is no experience, the way of looking and thinking must also be different. Compared to her children who live in this day and age.


"But Ma'am, the cost of nurses in the hospital is certainly more expensive, too."


Danang is worried about the cost as well. Because in this hospital alone, he and Linda had already spent a lot of money for the necessary administration.


That doesn't include later, when it's time to go home. Because yesterday, just leave a little money that they should have paid.


Linda was silent for a moment. He only realized that, all is not as easy as he thought and imagined.


"Hufhhhhhhhhhh..."


By taking a deep breath, Linda began to think about being able to earn even more money. Because of what he saved, he took half of it.


The other half of the money belongs to her husband, capital and profits from the Ferry rice sales business.


Because his business capital is indeed the result of loans from the Ferry family. She has not been returned by her husband.


Ferry said he wanted to give it a free addition. When returning the money. It cannot be returned to this day. Because the money for the addition, there is no funds.


'*Do I borrow that money first?'


'But if the care takes a long time, the money is not enough. Where else can I get the money?'


'Not to mention if Ferry suddenly asked for the money. How do I answer that later*?'


Linda was deep in heart, because in a state she could not determine on her own quickly.


"Already Lin. We'll be patient here first. You don't want to be a burden to both of you. You must be healthy again quickly," said his mother, mediating the problems they think today.


"Mom can't help anything about the cost. This is what you've been working on. Mom and dad are sorry. And many thanks to you both."


Again his mother said, to prevent the wishes of Linda, who wanted to move her father's care to a bigger hospital.


Because actually, Linda talked about this to her mother this afternoon.


Linda understood the condition of her mother, who certainly did not want to make her children become burdened. With all hospital administration payments.


Because her mother was also not told by Linda or Danang. How much money they have to pay for the care of their parents.


"It's okay Mom. We are his father's son. It is our duty to think and consider everything, which is best for your recovery."


Linda said so, so that her mother does not make herself and Danang fall into thinking, and choose which to do and the best as well.


Though what he was thinking right now was for their good as well.


Her mother didn't want to see Linda spend a lot of money. Because they do not want to see Ferry so negative thinking about their current situation


And for Danang, his mother also did not want to make her son a lot of thoughts. Because he knew if, Danang was saving up to pay her debt to Linda. Money for college first.


Although actually, Linda never asked for the money back. But Danang also did not want if, his father's rice fields became a guarantee of his debt.


Because it could be, the rice field is still needed for the cost of his father in the future.


Actually, the three of them had their own thoughts. The goal is just as good. It's just, what they think doesn't go hand in hand. Just as each other thought.


"Yes already then. hopefully, the condition of the father quickly improved. And allowed to go home."


"Aamiin's."


"Aamiin..."


Danang and her mother, agreed with Linda's expectations. Because that is what all of them are expecting.


*****


The night before bed, Linda along with Erli and Ferry, sat in front of the TV.


Erli asked his mother, Linda. "Ma. Mbah Kung when to come home?"


"Tomorrow if Mbah Kung is healthy, he will go home. Erli kangen huh?"


Erli nodded quickly. He was indeed close to that Sumpah of his feet. That's why, he feels lonely, if there is in this house without the Sumpah his legs.


"Tomorrow we'll go home by ourselves, won't Ma?" ask Ferry. He was busy with his cell phone.


"Well, did you go home?" linda asked her husband.


Ferry looked shocked, and his face was pias as well. He did not expect to get this kind of question from his wife.


"Kok You know Ma? Did someone tell you?" tanya Ferry, who was feeling suspicious. If someone is spying on him. Then reported all his behavior to his wife.


"So. That was it, our dirty clothes don't exist. Maybe Ferry would take him home. To be washed at home."


"There's no washing machine here. I don't have time to wash the manuals in this house."


Ferry smiled with relief. He's been thinking things through. And that's the thing he's so afraid of.


Actually, this morning he had intended to wash at home. But since there was something she had to work on, she finally decided to bring her dirty laundry to the laundry.


And the laundry, promised to work as soon as possible. So that tomorrow he can take it, before his wife comes home from work.


Ferry realized that, what he was doing had a big risk. But he also did not want to give up the opportunity to be able to please himself.


It was impossible for him to ask from his wife, who was in the hospital. Waiting for his father-in-law who is sick.
