After the incident that afternoon, Romi never again met Linda at rest or at any other time.
Maybe he didn't want to make Linda feel uncomfortable with his presence. So no longer looking for an opportunity to get the attention of Linda.
But it was Linda who was restless.
He felt something was lacking, in a time when there had been no Romi these past few days.
'Where did Brother Romi go? How never to be seen. The project is still on the road, too. Is he angry with me?' inner Linda asked about the whereabouts of Romi who disappeared since the meeting of the two of them that afternoon.
Especially now, Danang also never again invited him to lunch together, as before.
Every hour of rest, Linda will only spend time with Aria and Febriyanto alone. Either when eating in a stall, or when in a material warehouse.
Linda feels monotonous with her daily activities. Without her sister or Romi, just like yesterday.
'What the hell do you want me to do? It's weird! I myself want Brother Romi not to see Me. But, in his absence, I'm not okay either. What am I feeling this?'
'I feel homesick, but also scared.'
'I want to be with him again, but that can't possibly be true.'
'Ah... have I gone mad again, expecting Brother Romi?'
'How do I cope with this feeling?'
'Although at home I'm fine, but if it's outside the house, why would I want to. agrhhh!'
Linda is at war with her own heart, with desires and realities that cannot be united.
Her heart wanted to meet her ex-boyfriend, but in real circumstances, she realized it was impossible for her to do so.
Eventually, Linda could only hold everything by herself. He didn't want anyone to know, with what he's been feeling lately. Because it will make a disaster for himself and his little family at home.
But this afternoon, when Linda came home and just arrived at the parking lot. He saw a scene that made his heart ache, resentful and disappointed.
'Brother Romi? Who is she with?'
Linda saw Romi talking to a girl.
Romi and the girl, each sat on a different motorcycle. But Linda saw clearly, if both of them were smiling and laughing between the conversations they were having.
Linda actually did not want to see the sight. He also hoped, so that Romi did not see his existence.
Unfortunately, Linda's hope was not fulfilled. Because a split second later, Romi actually called his name.
"Dad! Deck Linda!"
Forcibly, Linda smiled faintly and nodded her head. Hoping for Romi not to walk over to him.
But it turns out that Linda's hope this time was also not fulfilled. Because in reality, Romi came down from the top of the motorcycle seat, then walked to where he was.
"Cock tumben home early?" romi asks to help Linda get her motorcycle out of the parking lot.
"Usually the material warehouse does come home early if no stock comes," Linda replied giving an explanation to Romi, who had finished taking out Linda's motorcycle.
"Thank you, sister" said Linda, as Romi regained consciousness on his motorcycle.
"Oh... I think it goes home the same every day." Romi's words this time, made Linda frown, thinking about what her ex-lover had said.
"Sister Means..."
Linda, meanwhile, felt that the words spoken by Romi, were just a distraction from the attention and out of their previous conversation.
Though Linda was already feeling quite happy, when she found out that Romi was watching himself every time he came home from work.
But his words that cut his sentence earlier, hinted that Linda would quickly go home. So that Romi can talk again with the girl who is still in the motorcycle seat.
Actually Linda wants to know also, who the girl is. But unfortunately, his sitting position was turned back to Linda. He could not see the face of the girl.
"Thank you, brother. Linda go home first."
Finally Linda said goodbye, and immediately got on the bike. Then leave the parking area, with an erratic feeling.
As for Romi, just nod his head. By the time Linda had left his presence. Leaving herself with a raging feeling in the heart.
"Mas, come here again!"
The girl who was there, called Romi to return to his place. To get back to talking.
"Eh yes sorry. I have to get back to work again. The other Cassian, if I stay long."
Romi actually refused the invitation of the girl who had spoken to him, when Linda had just come to the parking lot. Then go to the other side of the parking lot, where the installation of the canopy is still not completed.
"Yahhhhhhhhh... Mas, less fun!" the girl's grumble was upset, because it was ignored by Romi.
"Kok mas Romi know supervisor Linda huh? Do all guys have to be interested in that bule?" muttered the girl, questioning about Linda's influence on every guy in this factory.
*****
On the way home, Linda thought about what she had heard from Romi. He spoke inwardly, stopping at the crossroads of the red light.
'That's what Romi meant earlier, he actually noticed how I came home every day. Isn't that right? but how come I never saw him? where does he see me every day?'
Linda actually felt happy, because in fact, she was still noticed by Romi. Although actually he also does not know, how and where Romi knows about himself and his work schedule.
But Linda believes, from the words spoken by Romi earlier, it already represents the answer that Linda had been wanting to know. Because he had never seen Romi's face for the past few days.
Tin tin!
"Ehhhh... uhh!"
"Woiii walk!"
"Dream in the Boss' room!"
It turns out that Linda did not pay attention to traffic conditions, due to daydreaming about Romi.
As a result, he did not pay attention to the condition of the red light that had changed with green. So that the other riders, behind him protest.
"Huhffl..."
Linda took a deep breath when she restarted her bike.
"Hahhh. Because of thinking about Romi, I forgot where I was."
Linda also shakes her head several times, trying to throw her mind off Romi. Which still caught his attention.
"Don't let me get carried away like this at home. Ferry could be suspicious and jealous later."
But Linda does not know, if her desire to be able to focus on her husband and children alone while at home. Wasn't easy. And it requires special attention to its own consciousness. So that he can realize his hope.
