Aunt Melinda

Tamu

Late in the evening, Danang and Della arrive home. Both of them, there was no need to open the door. Just like always. It was opened by Romi. While Romi himself, sitting on the front porch of the house.

"Assalamualaikum Mas."

Danang and Della both said their greetings, as soon as they arrived in front of him Romi.

"Wallaikumsalam..."

But Danang and Della, go straight into the house. Because you have to clean up immediately. Magrib's time is coming soon.

"Mas, sorry. We go straight in first. Want to take a bath, because you want magrib," said Danang. He also represents his wife, Della.

Romi just nodded, but he stood up from his seat. Then come into the house because Maghrib is only a few seconds away.

After the three of them entered the house, Romi who last entered closed the door.

Cleks!

Della had entered the room first, while Danang, held for a while by Romi.

"Nang, later after the magrib, Mas want to talk yes," explained Romi, saying his wish.

Danang who already knew the intention of his brother-in-law's return, just nodded, then went into the room following his wife.

At about half-hour seven in the evening, the living room in Romi's house, there was a serious conversation.

Romi expressed his intention to Danang directly, to ask for consideration, with his intention. Who wants to propose to Linda.

"Actually, Mas wants to propose to your mother Nang. Roughly, how about yourself?" asked Romi, asking for an opinion on his sister-in-law. With what is the purpose.

Danang was silent for a moment, hearing the words and questions asked by his sister-in-law.

She knows that Romi is her brother's ex-lover. Even the first incident as well, before marrying the deceased Ferry.

But she had no right to give an answer, for the future of her brother who was already a widow. A widow has her own decisions. Although now this is again the responsibility of his biological father, and his brother again.

"And the man could not answer. But, Danang suggests, I'd better ask Romi directly to Linda."

Hearing the answer given by her sister-in-law, Romi nodded his head.

He thought that the road seemed to be better than he had to ask Danang and the others. Because they all cannot make decisions. And this is definitely a decision from Linda herself later.

"But..Didn't your mother be surprised, if I suddenly came and proposed to her?"

"Mas. Mas Romi better come visit and see Linda now. Mas Romi also has not seen mbak Linda again, since the ten days of the death of the Ferry." Della suggests that her sister meet with Linda first.

Romi does not not know what to do, because actually, he wants to immediately make Linda his wife.

But he wanted to ask the opinions of those closest to him, because he did not want to be rash in doing something.

The failure he had experienced in his household, made him a more careful person.

Moreover, she also knew, how the state of Linda's household was before.

He does not want to if this is his purpose, impressed to force Linda. So impressed like an excuse, to be able to revenge in the past both of them.

"alright. Romi will come to your own house. Pray yes, I hope this time it works.

Danang and Della both nodded and smiled. Hearing the decision made by their brother.

The two of them, can only pray, hopefully their sister Linda can open her heart back to her former lover. Who have also felt heartache, in the household.

"We wish the best for Romi. Congratulations on fighting!" della said, flirting with her sister. So that her brother does not feel tense.

"Hehehe... ready Deck!"

*****

At Linda's mother's house.

The clock shows at 07:00 p.m.

Linda was waiting for Erli who was learning to read, in the living room. His father and mother were in front of the TV, which was in the living room.

Tok tok!

Linda, who was in the living room, answered the greeting along with her son.

"Wallaikumsalam..."

"Darling, please open the door!" pinta Linda to Erli.

Erli nodded, then got off the chair, walking towards the door.

Cleks!

"Om Romi!"

"Hi Darling Erli."

Erli who already knew Romi, as her brother Della, of course greeted her with joy.

Linda, who heard Erli's familiar greeting, immediately looked up at the door.

The deg!

Linda's chest suddenly thumped loudly, seeing the arrival of romi these nights. Della and Danang are not home.

Romi also looked at Linda, with a difficult gaze to interpret.

"Come on Romi!"

Call Erli, make Romi aware. Then it shook its head, according to Erli's invitation, who had already pulled his hand to sit on the guest chair.

"Ma. There's Romi!" Erli reported to his mother, who the guest he now brought.

Linda smiled awkwardly at the words of her son.

"How's Dek Linda?" Romi reached out his hand, to shake hands with Linda, while asking for news.

Linda received Romi's helping hand, nodding faintly. "Good news, brother. Brother... how are you?" linda asked, after answering a pleasantry question from Romi.

"As you can see. I'm in such good shape that I can come here to see you and Erli."

Romi handed the package of souvenirs to Erli. "This is for Erli, I hope you like it!"

With a big smile, Erli received the gift package given by his guest.

After that, he walked in. Intended to give the package to the symbol.

"Change! There's Romi!"

The two symbols looked at each other, hearing the cry of his grandson. That said if there was a guest named Romi.

"Rome..."

"Yes Om Romi. Which used to be the same Aunt Della Mbah!"

Erli could not explain the relationship between Romi and Della, so he also struggled to give clarity about his guest, on both symbols.

Now, Simbah kakung and his daughter stood up from the seat, to go out to meet his guest earlier.

While Erli, open the package of souvenirs that he received.

In the living room, Romi seemed to have sat down and was chatting with linda. Who is still sitting in his wheelchair.

"Son Romi" said his father Linda, while greeting Romi.

So did her mother Linda, doing the same thing her husband did.

"Mom make tea first yes," said Linda's mother, then went inside, made drinks for her guests.

While his father Linda, still accompany Romi in the living room. Talked for a while, before he finally went inside. To accompany Erli who is in front of the TV.

"Sir Linda. Emhhhh, actually, Brother came here..."

Romi had a little trouble, to express his intention and purpose in coming to see Linda tonight.

He took a deep breath first, before finally continuing his truncated sentence.
