Aunt Melinda

Cold War

Ferry's feelings were not good, despite getting an explanation from his wife, Linda.

She felt jealous, because Linda was now close again to Romi. Although Linda has said that, she only met Romi a few times. It was also because of unintentionally.

'Is this how it feels to be jealous? Especially when Linda caught me being with Nana yesterday. Uhhh...'

Ferry felt unsettled, especially Linda also did not give any other information. And also trying to dilute their atmosphere, which is currently just like people who are marahan.

Fortunately, the night was getting late. So they decided to quickly sleep, without any bed activities like yesterday.

But it turned out that Ferry could not close his eyes quickly. He was still imagined with the eyes of Romi, who seemed to still dream of a wife.

As a man, he must know, what other men want, against the opposite sex. Moreover, the two of them used to have a relationship that actually did not complete the problem.

Ferry knows very well, if Romi still has feelings for his wife. She is her former lover Romi. He gets Linda too in a way that is not right, because it has sabotaged Romi's work, so that Romi can not quickly go home, to meet Linda. Before Linda and herself came to the big city, even finding Romi was doing fine with a woman as well. So that makes Linda angry with jealousy and decided to go home and receive Ferry as her husband.

"Did Romi know, if all the events of the past, I was involved in it? how would he respond, if he finally found out, I'm not a cop anymore now. Even yesterday-yesterday I also tortured Linda, cheating on her too. So it's clear that Linda wasn't happy with me?"

"Did he come to take Linda away from me? what if it's true? He wants revenge on me."

Ferry kept thinking muttering to himself, wondering about the intention of Romi coming back to his city.

Luckily Linda was asleep. So she did not know what was going on with her husband.

"I don't want you to leave me Dek," muttered Ferry again, stroking his wife's hair.

He would not, had Romi taken his wife. He also did not want to be abandoned by Linda, because he could not live without his wife beside him.

"No-no. You can't leave me Deck. There's Erli who's gonna be the link between us."

Ferry was too confident, that Linda was unlikely to leave him. Because there was already Erli between the two of them, as part of the outcome of their marriage.

This morning is Friday, and tomorrow is Saturday. Erli proposed that he go straight to his house after school.

"Return school Erli directly to the sewage house ya Ma. Mama will go straight home to the sewage house and also when she comes home from work."

Linda, who was bribing food, stopped her activities. He saw his son eating but talking.

"Honey, eat don't talk much" Linda advised Erli.

Mama on Saturday nginep at Simbah house huh! I'll go straight to school, yeah Pa!" Erli asked his papa's permission, persuading him to agree to his request.

"Saturday afternoon, dear. Tomorrow is school. Tomorrow Mama who picked up Erli, we continue to go directly to the Sewah house, there as usual. How's it?"

Linda tried to persuade her son, so as not to whine to her house later in the afternoon.

"No, don't want to! Erli wants to stay at Sumpah's house two nights."

"Oh, that's okay. Later Papa directly between Erli to the Sewah house, so that mama also went home directly to the Sewah house. But, Papa is on a job. Erli was staying at Papa's house, before Mama came home."

Finally Ferry mediated the debate between the two of them, so that Erli did not whine. His wife also did not give up.

"Mas, Linda doesn't know, what holiday is overtime tomorrow?" Linda protested at her husband's decision.

But Ferry shook his head, looking at his wife. So that Linda will no longer speak, which will make her son flirt again.

"Mas wants to review the construction of a new rice mill Deck. The project of making the other rice storage, already on the road. And Mas wants to join. Is it okay, Deck?"

"Subscribe to Ferry. Is there still money for capital to join in rice milling? the house sale money from... has been sent to your parents, right Mas?"

Linda almost slipped the name of Mbak Nana, because what she meant by the money selling the house was the house that Mbak Nana gave to Ferry yesterday.

"Yes already. But the money we collect, and the rest of the sales money is still quite a lot. So it can be used for additional capital." explained Ferry gave an explanation.

"Solar Mas Ferry. The important thing is not to owe anymore like before. Linda doesn't want any big debt, which makes us as hard as we used to be."

Ferry could only smile thinly, as he felt that it was his fault too at that time.

"Yes Deck. I'll be more careful."

"Andang?"

Linda frowned, seeing Danang's name on her phone screen.

..."Yes Nang, what is it?" ...

..."Tomorrow go home Ma'am!" ...

..."What is it?" ...

..."There's no one. Hehehe... kangen is like my cute ponakan."...

..."Halah... There must be something right?" ...

..."Hehehe.. Danang just wait! This is Danang going to work." ...

..."Yes-yes, be careful." ...

Click!

"Who's Ma?" asked Erli, because her mother was as usual when she received the call.

"Om Danang?" linda replied, which made Ferry breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mama go to work first, baby! don't be a prankster, don't be naughty" Linda told her son, who was also taken in by Ferry.

After his mother left for work, asked his father. "Papa. Mama why the hell, did not want to go to the Sewaan house?"

"Why not, maybe Mama is tired. Erli why, why do you insist on going to the sewage house?"

"Emhhh. Hehe..."

Ferry pinched both cheeks of his son with anxiety. Then shook Erli's cheeks so that his head joined the bells.

*****

The day went as it should. At work, linda also avoids Mr. Rudi and Mr. Komarudin.

He also tried not to meet with Romi, so as not to aggravate the atmosphere of his household.

She didn't want her husband to have any thoughts about her and Romi. So determined to do nothing, which can make Romi wretched.

That way, most likely everything can definitely be good again, and there is no cold war between him and Ferry at home.

Fortunately the material building has no overtime on Saturday. So that she could rest at her mother's house, because her son asked to stay there tonight.

In the afternoon when she came home from work, Linda also went straight home to her mother. But he didn't meet his sister at the time of his return.

*****

Tonight at Linda's mother's house.

They all gathered after dinner. But Ferry left again, to meet with the rice mill boss.

"What's the matter, Nang, until you ask Mbak to come Saturday? Uh, it's even here. Hehe..."

Linda chuckled to herself, after asking her sister. About the purpose of his invitation this morning via phone call.

"Emhhhh, actually there is something Danang wants to convey to Linda, but Linda Ma'am don't be angry."

Linda narrowed her eyes, hearing the answer given by her sister.

"What's mother?" linda asked again, wondering what really happened to Danang.

"Andang wants to introduce Danang's lover tomorrow Ma'am. But Linda ma'am can't be mad!"

"Kok's angry? why is that your lover? Continue... Who is he?" Linda gave a question after question that Danang had to answer immediately.

"Promise not to be angry!"
