Aunt Melinda

Avoiding The Question

On the way home from the hospital, Erli fell asleep. So Linda immediately took the child into the room. The door of the house was opened by her husband.

After he finished putting his motorcycle into the house, Ferry locked the door. Then just get into the room.

He did not see his wife, so he looked into her room.

"Not really sleeping?" ask, because look at Linda's hand. Who was patting his son's shoulders softly.

"Yes, just wait a minute."

Ferry nodded without asking again, then returned to leave the room. Not coming in to put Erli to sleep.

Moments later, Linda came out of Erli's room. He saw the whereabouts of Ferry, who was currently sitting in front of the television. Watching television, but his hands focus on the screen. Not looking at the screen in front of him.

"Mas" called Linda, sitting herself next to her husband.

Nervously, Ferry put down the phone he was holding. Next to his seat.

"Eh, i_yes. What's up, Deck?"

"Tomorrow to leave at what time?" ask Linda to know.

From her husband's habit, Linda knew if she wanted to go out of town, Ferry was ready from night. Because I have to leave before dawn.

"Lake no doubt. Hi time-hunted Kok Dek," replied Ferry looking relaxed.

"Linda's getting her clothes ready like always, right?" ask Linda again. Which usually prepares everything. For the needs of her husband, if there is work out of town.

"Yes Deck."

Ferry nodded, giving a flat answer.

As Linda moved from her seat, Ferry clenched her cell phone again. Then look at the phone screen with a thin smile.

From the direction of her bedroom door, Linda noticed everything. And now she felt very confident that her husband was replying to someone. Which is possible, it was the woman who was meant by the kang Mus.

Fifteen minutes later, Linda was back with a bag she had to carry.

The bag is usually used by Ferry, for his personal belongings. If there is work out of town.

"Mas. Everything Linda has neatened in this bag. Mas Ferry can check again" Linda said. Putting the bag on the table, which was in front of her husband.

"Not on the Deck. You'll have memorized all the necessities I need to get out of town."

"Read more checks?" linda asked, making sure her husband really believed. With what he did.

Ferry answered with a nod of his head. Then he took his wife's hand and sat down next to her.

"Sit here Deck!"

Linda according. She sat down with her husband in front of the television. Dan Ferry, no longer holding his cell phone.

"There's something I'd like to talk to you about Dek. Because this matter also has to be with your consent, so inevitably you have to listen as well."

In Linda's heart, she was already feeling uneasy. His heart felt racing, because it felt if this was important.

'*Did Ferry want to admit his affair with mbak Nana huh? Will he divorce me, and marry Nana?'s mother?'

'Or if he's honest, I'm also asked to be honest. Just like he did?'

'Why do I feel if this isn't good*?'

Question after question, appeared in Linda's heart. There were a lot of preconceptions, which he actually feared for himself. Because she also felt that she had many secrets that her husband did not know.

This question asked by her husband, made Linda surprised herself. She never thought that this was exactly what her husband was talking about. And no other problem.

"How's the Deck, you agree, right?" ask Ferry. Urge Linda who had just been silent.

"Erli is still TK Mas. Those two are not well taken care of. We don't have much time to pay attention to him. What if I have another sister?"

The answer given by Linda, made Ferry nod her head. Because he knew very well, what was currently in his wife's mind.

"Can we find a maid, a baby sitter, or do we both?"

Hearing the question in the form of the proposal, made Linda smile thinly. She agreed with her husband's plan.

"Mas. Don't talk about this first. Linda wanted to ask Ferry. But it's not a child's problem."

Ferry narrowed his eyes, seeing how his wife was not excited for his proposal.

"What's wrong? Is there anything greater than giving a sister to Erli?" ask Ferry again, who only thinks about children at this time.

Maybe he feels he can work. His wife, Linda, can also work alone. With a great salary as well.

So there is no fear of material deprivation, just like the other families out there.

"Isn't there something Mas Ferry wants to talk to Linda about? About the others."

"What Deck?"

"Yes what Mas. Problems in the market around rice. At the rice mill, or the employees there. Or it could be, the baskets of Mas Ferry rice subscriptions."

"Nothing special? From his attention, or whatever. mas Ferry must be more understanding than Linda herself."

Hearing all the words and questions asked by his wife, Ferry thought hard.

'What does Linda mean asking about the milling and also the rice basket huh?'

'Is he starting to suspect? Or has someone told him what happened?'

'What...'

"Mas. Mas Ferry!"

Ehhh.. i_iya Deck. What's up?"

Ferry asked nervously, as Linda called out her name, wiggling her arms as well.

"What did Ferry think?" ask Linda, who is curious. Because it turns out that her husband is in a state of daydreaming.

From the moment he talked and talked about rice and rice milling, and the basket as well, Ferry no longer focused on their conversation. But Ferry was thinking about something else.

"Eghhh. It's not okay. Emhhh.. We just sleep yuk! Tomorrow we have to go. And you also have to take your father to the hospital."

Linda could only let out a long sigh, upon hearing the words spoken by her husband. She knew that her husband was shying away from their conversation.

This made Linda even more suspicious. If what the kang Mus said to his sister, Danang. There's a point.

'Am I following you tomorrow?'

'But I also have a need to go to the hospital. How'this?'

Statement by question, asked by Linda to herself. While walking following her husband's steps to get into the room. He cannot decide quickly what he should do tomorrow.
