"Mr Linda!"


Danang calls her sister, when Linda just stopped her bike in the parking lot.


But, it looks like Linda didn't hear the call from Danang. Because he remained focused on positioning his motorcycle, and never once turned to Danang.


Danang did not blame her brother, who did not listen to her call earlier. Because it is time for a crowded hour.


So many employees came. So that the sound of the motor engine makes ear noise.


It was only after Linda finished parking that Danang approached and patted her on the shoulder, while reprimanding her as well.


Pluck up!


"Mom!"


"Gee!"


Linda was shocked, when she got a pat on her shoulder.


"Hhh, what the hell is Nang? Surprise Ma'am." Linda was upset, because of the shock when she felt a clap of Danang's hand that she did not know before.


"Hehehe. sorry Ma'am," said Danang cengengesan.


"What's wrong? Tumben came this morning. Something awaited huh? Your gebetan huh?" ask Linda to be persistent.


"Ihss... Ma'am what the hell? ask me that's not clear."


Danang grumbled to herself, hearing the questions asked by Linda.


Though he deliberately came earlier, so that he could talk to his brother.


"Hum... hold what?" ask Linda, who has changed into serious fashion.


"Bak and Ferry are better, right? Erli doesn't know the problem you two are, do you? There's no more KDRT, is there, Ma'am?"


Danang instead asked Linda, with many questions related to the case of her sister-in-law, Ferry. Two weeks ago he was in a hotel, along with another woman.


Danang asked that because, Linda was no longer talking about it via message or phone.


And last week, Linda, along with her husband and son, just briefly came to the house. To see the condition of his father, the stone was healed.


"Ck! Just ask me if the police are interrogating this," Linda said, because of Danang's attitude.


But Danang who was in serious fashion, just smiled thinly. Heard the tone of protest from his brother.


Linda finally told me about her current situation, which was fine with Ferry and Erli. Moreover, his son also knew nothing.


"Are you sure, sorry about Ferry?"


"Aren't you afraid she'll do the same again someday?"


The question asked by Danang, actually also became Linda's own question a few days ago. But she tried to calm her heart, and tried to give her husband a second chance.


"Bak try to give second chance to Ferry Nang. Ma'am didn't want Erli to be hurt by our separation, just because of the hardness of my heart."


"Leave it, because you don't know either. How will we walk ahead of him."


Danang nodded his head, hearing the explanation given by his brother.


He knew that his brother could not tell the problems faced by others. Even if it was on his parents, or on him.


Must be asked first, only Linda wants to tell a story. Not all opportunities and time. His sister wanted to tell me like that.


"Oh yes Ma'am. That, emhhh... mbak don't be surprised huh? If I tell this story."


Linda stared at Danang, narrowing. "What the hell? Don't be curious about Nang!" ask Linda to be upset. Because his sister made him curious about her words just now.


"Yesterday afternoon..."


"Eh.. mbak Linda. Come on with me!"


Danang had not finished telling Linda, as Aria and Febriyanto reprimanded her.


In fact, the two boys Linda had just known in the material warehouse, approached where Linda and Danang were talking. Making Danang speechless and not continuing his sentence.


"Eh, yeah-yes!"


Linda also looked at the clock on her wrist. The time for the entrance bell is almost here.


Finally Danang just nodded, then let his brother go with two people he did not know.


But he knew if, both people are both employees in this company. For wearing the same uniform, and the self-identity of the workers in this company as well.


"Kok the id card of the two people was different color?not the same as the one in Linda's building."


Danang just realized, if the place for the id card of the two men, the color is different from the color of his id card is usually in the building, where Linda is on duty.


He didn't know if, Linda had just been mutated into the raw materials building.


No longer serving as supervisor. But back to being a leader.


(In the company, each employee is different for the color of his id card. To make it easier to distinguish, which building the employee works in)


"What really happened to Linda? why does he seem familiar with those two little guys?"


"Isn't the color of the second id card the identity for the warehouse?"


"Am I asking Della? But he has nothing to do with employee placement."


"Am I going to ask Linda tomorrow?"


"Yes, tomorrow I'll ask Linda. He's also at work, so I don't want to bother."


*****


At Linda's mother's house.


After Danang left for work, his father sat in the yard, using a long bench.


He wants to sunbathe in the morning, but the weather is sunny.


"Eh, Mr. Dhe is healthy?"


There was one of the neighbors who rebuked Linda's father. When the person was passing by on the street in front of the house.


"Yes Kang. Thank God this, it's been quiet."


"Yes, sunbathe let the angel get the morning sun. Let's get that morning air of yours, too."


Finally, the man stopped by and talked for a while with his father Linda.


"How's rice field? Do you want to harvest Kang?" His father Linda, asked about the state of the rice fields, to the man.


This person usually goes to the fields. Either to his own paddy field, or work into someone else's paddy field. Just like his father Linda did as well, while still healthy first.


"Yes Alhamdulillah mr. Dhe. Another month can harvest. Hopefully there are no rat pests or gutters."


(Walang is a grasshopper )


"Aamiin. let's have a good harvest!"


"Aamiin.. aamiin sir Dhe!"


After the two of them fell silent for a while, the man asked his father Linda.


"Sir Dhe. That, Linda. Her husband isn't a cop?"


His father Linda fell silent, hearing the question asked by his friend.


"Why?"


Finally, his father Linda asked back.Seyalah had been silent for a moment. Because just this time, someone asked him. About the husband of her son, Linda. The Ferry.


"It's okay, Mr. Dhe. Just.. this does not know yet, some of what is not yes Mr. Dhe. My wife had seen, her husband Linda met and went with another woman. I just got off the bike with Linda."


"But Linda was gone right away."


His father Linda narrowed his eyes, hearing the question asked by his friend.


"When?"


"Two weeks if not wrong."


'Two weeks? Not that I was sick.' His father Linda remembered.
