Aunt Melinda

The Guest is Romi

"Rome?"

Linda's mother asked, naming the person who was currently in front of her.

"Yes Mom. I am Romi" Romi replied again, nodding his head. Asking questions asked by Linda's mother.

Danang finally took the initiative to whisper near his mother's ear, giving an explanation of who the guest who came to his house this afternoon.

"He's Romi Bu. His girlfriend was Linda before he married Ferry."

Deg deg!

Linda's mother's heart is getting stronger. After knowing who this guest is, once heard the whisper of his son. His face also looked pale.

I don't know what he's thinking right now.

Romi just smiled, seeing the discoloration on Linda's mother's face. After seeing Danang finished whispering his mother.

"Let's go in!"

Danang invites Romi to enter the house.

But Romi did not immediately follow Danang's invitation. She greets her mother Linda again, for the second time. Because earlier he had had time to greet his mother Linda, when he mentioned his own name earlier.

Linda's mother just gawked in disbelief at what she was seeing right now. He thought that, Romi no longer wanted to come to this house. Because of his former treatment of his son's girlfriend in the past.

After being invited to come in and sit in a chair, Romi tried to ask his mother Linda.

"Say you're sick, ma'am, where's dad now?"

The questions her mother Linda received, further confused her with questions she had never expected before.

"Emhhh... That, that's who Romi was hearing from? I know if you are sick."

Calmly, Romi gave an answer to the question he had just asked his mothers Linda.

"I heard from my sister. Incidentally, she now works at the same company as Linda and Danang.

"Allow Nang?"

Danang pondered for a moment, hearing the question asked by Romi to him. He forgot, if the younger sister of his class who had met two yesterday was his sister Romi.

"That's the Della Nang" said Romi, reminding Danang of his sister's name.

"Eh, i_iya Brother. Hehe... I'm just forgetfulness."

"But at that time Della said she was just sending her friend Kak. Did he work there too?"

Danang did not pay attention, if Della now works in the same company. Where she and Linda work.

"Yes. At first, Della was just among her friends. But it turns out that there is a job vacancy that interests him, so he tries to offer himself. To apply for a job there too."

"Oh. But, Della is in what part? How come, I never see."

Danang asked, remembering, where she had seen Della again, after their last meeting.

"Maybe you never see him again. He's in HRD. But the part of the task that takes care of BPJS or what it is..."

"If her friend Della, it's in the clinic. You are a health major."

Danang nodded his head again, upon hearing all the explanations given by Romi.

Now he knows, about where his brother's ex-girlfriend knows his father's health condition.

But before Danang could speak, Romi again continued his explanation. Where does he know if Linda's father is sick.

"Della told me, when I came yesterday. Incidentally, I'm on a project at the company where my sister works. So, at the factory you work at, too."

"That's a long time for the project to be finished."

Romi's explanation is long, making Linda's mother forget to make drinks for her guests.

Until the moment his father came out of the bathroom, and heard the conversation in the living room.

"Lho, there are guests. How come you're not drinking ma'am?"

"Oh Allah. Sorry, Romi, I forgot. Wait a minute, I'll make you a drink!" step aside from Linda's mother, then stand up from her seat.

He went to the kitchen, to make a drink that he should have made earlier.

Her seat was replaced by her husband. After shaking hands with Romi first.

*****

At Linda's house.

The night at Linda's house, the same as usual. There was no noticeable difference, after what happened last week.

Erli is still studying with his father, Ferry. As for Linda herself, cooking food for dinner the three of them.

It's not just cooking. Because there is a side job done by Linda while cooking. Washing in the washing machine.

So he cooked all of you doing the laundry work, which he could only do at night. I can't wash in the morning. Due to limited time, he used to get ready to go to work.

During this time Ferry also did not have a problem about homework. He also never criticized his wife, about the circumstances and the frequent homework. It can only be done at night.

"Mas, eat this ready. Erli please get it! Linda's gonna dry the clothes first."

Ferry nodded at his wife's request.

"Honey. Papa get me some food first, will you? After the meal, continue to color the picture again."

"Yes Pa," said Erli quickly.

He was happy, because his father and mother were now talking to each other and also smiling a lot. Not the same as a few days ago.

Erli did not know what was going on with his parents.

But his heart can feel the atmosphere of the house is not calm, because the relationship between his parents who are in a state of not okay.

"Eat yourself what's Papa's bribe?" tanya Ferry, as soon as she gets back to where Erli is.

Ferry brought a plate of warm white rice along with fried chicken, his favorite Erli.

"Erli ate himself Pa!"

With passion, Erli addressed the question posed by his father. At the sight of the side dish that was on the plate.

"Mas, the vegetables are still in the pot! Linda forgot to put it on the table" Linda said, shouting from behind, where the laundry was.

"Yes Deck!" sahut Ferry understands.

"Tuh denger, mama made vegetables too. Erli wants the vegetables too?" tanya Ferry offered her son.

"No need for Pa. Erli doesn't like vegetables."

Erli refused. He would not be given vegetables on a plate he ate. He had enough with the rice with his fried chicken alone.

"Hum..."

Ferry only took a deep breath, when he heard the answer given by his son.

Though he also already knew, if Erli was difficult to eat vegetables, at a meal like this.
