Aunt Melinda

Sulking

Friday night, Erli whines for a stay at his covert house. Because I haven't stayed there in a long time.

"Tomorrow the night, baby... Mama's got overtime tomorrow."

Linda tried to negotiate with her son, so as not to whine for her night.

"Tomorrow is Saturday Ma! Mama's on vacation, right?" Erli memorized his mother's work schedule. Because sometimes Linda is on holiday on Saturday and Sunday.

"Yes. Tomorrow is saturday. But Mama's got work till twelve."

"Means pick up school tomorrow Mama huh! keep on going straight to the sewage house." Erli made a decision before Linda spoke again.

"Hum..."

"Yes Ma. Yes, yes Ma!"

Erli whined, so Linda would agree to his request.

"Ihhh. Mama's gonna pick Erli up, go home from school tomorrow."

"Yeeee.. fun..."

Erli's cheers and voice echoed in the night of his room. So that makes Ferry, who was in front of the TV was curious.

"Wahhhh.. It's like exciting! Papa follow dong ya..."

"Pa, Papa! Papa won't have to pick up Erli at school tomorrow. Mama's gonna pick up Erli."

Erli excitedly said what his mother had said to his father.

"Benere Deck?" tanya Ferry confirmed.

"Ask the reason also dong Mas," said Linda, so that Ferry asked the reason too.

Because usually, Ferry who deliver and pick up Erli school.

Finally, Ferry asked his son why he asked his mother to pick him up tomorrow. "Mama has a job, baby... If you can't pick up, Papa usually does. Yea?"

Ferry misunderstood, with the intention of Erli's request.

He thought that, Erli was sulking at his mother alone. Because previously he did not know, if Erli wanted to go stay over to his covert house.

"Don't want Pa. Erli wants to go to the sewage house, stay there also Sunday night. As usual. Yeah Pa, can ya Pa?"

After getting an explanation from Erli, Ferry finally understood the wishes of his son earlier.

"Ohh that's it. If Mama can't pick me up, Papa's fine. Later Papa between Erli first to the sewage house. No need to go to the rice mill as usual."

Ferry gave a solution, if his wife could not go home quickly.

Not without reason, Ferry said that. Because Linda's working hours on Saturday could not be predicted before.

Sometimes I say three o'clock in the afternoon, it turns out only until twelve. Or vice-versa. At the time he said he came home at twelve, it turned out that his home was pushed back to three in the afternoon.

"Hum..."

Now Linda thinks again, if what was said by her husband was true, Erli can be very disappointed later.

"How's Deck?" ask Ferry, ask Linda for an opinion.

"Yes that's it." Linda nodded quickly. "What's wrong, honey?" linda asked Erli.

"But... but Mama went straight back to the sewage house huh? Don't go home first!" Erli is still in sulking mode. I was a little disappointed with my mom and dad.

"Yes-yes Honey. Mama will also bring the same fruit martabak eggs later."

"Don't want to slash an egg. I want a petti's creed."

Now, Erli has his own favorite food, which he often asks for. He was consumed by characters in his favorite Spongebob cartoon.

"Yes-yes. Mama buyin Krabby Patty tomorrow."

"But buyin martabak eggs too, make a waste Ma! as usual." Erli reminds Linda to buy her a martabak egg for her symbol. Because the symbol is not with the Krabby Patty.

"Hum...was that the pesen?" linda asked with an Erli hug.

"Yes Ma. Hihihi..."

Ferry smiled at the adorable behavior of his son, if he was sulking and spoiling like this.

"Now Erli is sleeping. Tomorrow morning school. Papa will prepare a change of clothes for the sewage house now yes!" Erli nodded in agreement to his father's words.

"Ma. Temenin Erli sleep yes!"

Linda nodded in agreement, then arranged pillows and bolsters for the comfort of her sleep Erli.

*****

The house of Romi.

Della had just finished talking to her friend on the front porch, despite talking on the phone.

"Del," said Romi, crying out to Della.

"Mas.... Ihsss, ngagetin tau!" Della frowned, being shocked by Romi's call just now.

"You really, the old phone. Seriously speaking. Not paying attention around either."

Della's lips pursed, because he got a reprimand from her brother.

"Come on in! It's tonight," take Romi to his sister. Because it's already night.

The hour hand showed at half-nine in the evening.

Still pursing her lips, Della followed her brother's orders. But he did not go straight to his own room, but rather sat in front of the TV.

Now, the two of them were no longer living in his uncle's house. But already made his own house, near his uncle's house. So that Della will stay home alone, if Romi is in the big city.

"You're off tomorrow?" romi asked, after sitting in front of the television.

Della just nodded her head, confirming the question her brother had just asked.

"Hum... usually there are production employees who work not if it is Saturday?"

Romi's question this time, made Della frown. Then look towards her brother.

"Don't misunderstand the Deck." Elak Romi fast.

"What do you mean, Della misunderstood?" ask Della, who doesn't understand. Why did her brother suddenly give her confirmation, before she asked a question about the question earlier.

"Eh, emhhh. It's okay."

"What's the matter how you are?" Della urges Romi to speak up. Explain the purpose of the question and the confirmation he said. If Della is not allowed to misunderstand the question.

"So I asked you, right? There's no overtime production?"

Della nodded her head, confirming the question posed by Romi, who was currently repeating her question again.

"Continue?"

"It means nothing Deck. Just, imagine how the state of the motor park. If tomorrow we put up a canopy. While the production employees are many. That's what it works for."

Della nodded her head, hearing the explanation given by her brother.

"It makes sense too. But..."

Della's sentence hangs, making Romi tilt his head. To hear the next sentence.

But it turns out that Della doesn't continue her sentence anymore. He instead took the TV remote, then changed the channel of the ongoing show.

"Do you want to continue?" romi asked, reminding his sister.

"Continued how?" ask Della, who pretended to forget. If he had not finished his own sentence.

"Yes it's okay. I also didn't buy it..." Romi deliberately did not continue his sentence as well. Replying to his sister's treatment earlier.

"Ihss... Oh, Romi that's it!"

"Emang Mas Romi want to ask what the hell? Linda's sister again?"

The deg!

Romi's face was red with embarrassment, as Della could guess what was in her heart.
