Aunt Melinda

Not About Disease

"How's the Deck doing?"

Linda was not finished with her surprise, seeing the whereabouts of Della and her brother, who had just come and rebuked her earlier. And now, her brother was actually asking about her news.

"Emmhh... Lin_Linda good Brother."

Nervously, Linda answered the question with an unfocused look.

"Let's Dell, brother Romi. Have seat. This is still an empty chair," Danang asked, offering the two people who were mining it. To dilute the tense atmosphere experienced by her brother.

The two are Della, who is with her sister. Romi.

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Della thanked him, while Romi just nodded his head, smiling kindly.

'Della works here, that's her uniform... but since when does she work here?'

'Brother Romi is here too. It's impossible for him to work here too. Her clothes are not uniform either. But clothes are free.'

Linda spoke to herself in her heart. Guessing, and also asking about the two people who were currently sitting in front of him.

"What do you want to eat Dell, brother Romi? let all Danang order. We had the problem" Danang bargained, which is owned by Della and Romi.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Della, who hasn't mentioned what kind of food she wants. Because he was waiting for his brother.

"Soto Dell rice broth. What do you eat."

"Soto is also." Della answered quickly.

"Drink iced tea, Brother Danang!"

"OKs. Then all soto messages yes?"

The question posed by Danang, was taken up by Della and Romi. Then Danang went to place another order on the seller's side. For the drinks too.

Romi who had not met Linda for a long time, there was actually a lot he wanted to talk about.

Just like Linda.

But, it seemed like the two of them could not speak freely in this place.

Finally, the two of them could only remain silent and glanced at each other. Then both smile awkwardly, if berirobok and found out.

"Hhh, earlier, you haven't answered the question I asked you Deck."

Suddenly, Romi reminded Linda of the question she had asked. Because Linda hasn't answered.

Linda and Della both frowned, thinking about what Romi had just asked.

"This is the ice first."

Linda just opened her mouth to talk, but Danang already came with a tray of four glasses of iced tea.

Soon after, Danang was back. By bringing soto rice to order the four of them.

At lunchtime like this, all the stalls are crowded and busy. So that the owner of the stall or service, will be hassle to take care of all orders of buyers who come.

To ease the burden of their duties and work, because they do not want to queue too long, buyers will usually take their own food to where they eat.

That is why, Danang who relented to go took their order. Than to have to wait any longer. More and more buyers are coming.

"Thank you, sister" said Della, smiling happily.

"Thank You Nang."

Romi also thanked Danang. Because it makes Danang into a hassle.

"Let's eat..."

Danang is still trying to make the atmosphere become crowded, rather than all being silent. Confused as to what to say. Just like Linda and Romi did.

After lunch, they walked to their respective workplaces.

"Della since when do you work here?"

Linda finally had a chance to ask Della.

"New to you. Not long." Della answered the question, not saying exactly how long she had been with the company.

Linda nodded her head, hearing the answer Della had just given.

'Pantes I just saw. Or am I the unusual one watching people?' linda asked herself.

"Aren't you asking about me Dek?"

Now, it was Romi who was envious. Because from now on, Linda seemed to avoid him. Even the question asked earlier, who was just asking the news. Not Linda replied either.

Linda was just grimacing awkwardly, because she felt in Romi's satire.

"Mr Linda!"

Febriyanto was also walking into the workplace. And it just so happened that they, who had been out together, were now coming in and could be together again.

Beside Febriyanto, there was Aria who was acting ordinary.

"Sorry, I'm ahead."

Linda finally decided to walk with Febriyanto and Aria. Because the time for the afternoon break is also ten minutes away. While the distance to the building takes quite a long time, because the distance is indeed farther than the HRD and PPIC building.

Without waiting for answers and approval from Danang and Romi, Linda walked quickly towards Febriyanto and Aria.

"Mbak Linda isn't in the building where manager Rudi Kak is?" della asked, which was aimed at Danang.

Della asked that, because she saw the id card worn by the two men was not from the production building. From the material building.

"Just moved yesterday, he said. You don't know huh? Are you in HDR Del?"

"Oh just yesterday. Usually a new mutation letter is created, one day after it is decided. It means it was made today."

Romi who knew nothing about the factory situation, just silently listened to all the talk of the two of them.

He did not interrupt or ask about the state of the factory. Which he is currently working on.

"No, go there!"

Now Romi is ready to go to the parking area. Because his team is also in the parking lot.

"Yes Brother."

Danang and Della, simultaneously replied.

*****

Linda's father, he's doing a re-examination at the hospital. He was sent by his wife, renting a neighbor's car.

"There are still complaints sir?" ask the doctor when doing the examination.

"There is no doctor, sir" replied his father Linda, smiling. To make the doctor believe his words.

"Mother don't have to think about a lot of things first. Let it recover quickly. Because the cause of a disease, it is not because it is the original of the disease. But there are other factors, especially on the person's mind."

The doctor advised his father Linda, still with her work. Checking the condition of Linda's father's body.

'Doctor is delicious, just talk. Where there are people who are told not to have a mind. That crazy guy.'

'Especially an old man like me. He said he had no burden, but still a lot of burden. Others see me as good, because the kids are already on great. But they also do not know, the burden of what thoughts are actually in my heart and mind from a long time ago.'

Her father Linda continued to speak inwardly, just as she had always done so far. Because he was more silent than ever.
