Aunt Melinda

Self Conscious

Tonight, Della reveals her intentions and plans to Danang. As they prepare for sleep.

"Mas. Della, Della want to open a cake order business can't you?" Della was very careful when she asked her husband for permission.

Danang remained silent, listening to what his wife wanted to say again.

But it turned out, after a long wait, Della did not continue her words anymore. Danang asked his wife a question.

"Of course you're sure that, with marketing and everything, from risk and so on."

Danang opened the way of Della's mind, by giving her understanding and foresight that, such efforts are not only based on when there is an order. Because there is the fate of employees who come with him, in their business later.

If only relying on orders, Della could not take on a permanent employee. And that would also make it difficult for himself.

"Do you understand what this word of Mas Yang means?"

"Mas doesn't forbid, whatever you want to do. Importantly, it was thought through carefully, and from various sides as well. Besides, what the hell are you really thinking? Is it just because you feel lonely at home, or are you afraid of being short of money because you don't work anymore?"

This question asked by her husband, made Della realize. He was scary about those two things.

"I'm sorry, Mas" said Della, lowering her face. Because it turns out, Danang can guess the contents of his mind at this time.

"Which, if you feel lonely, I've never forbidden you from doing anything, that you want to do. The important thing is it's useful, and it doesn't make you tired."

"But if you're afraid of a lack of money, don't you know, how much do I pay? That's more than enough to support both of us."

Della grew lower, feeling guilty for what she was afraid of and her thoughts.

"Never feel, if your presence troubles me. And don't ever feel like I'm suing you to make money."

"Not That."

Danang tried to give understanding to his wife who seemed to be feeling tired and sensitive, to her own situation.

Now Danang hugged his wife, by peeping her forehead a few times. So that his wife does not feel neglected by him, who is already getting busy at work.

"Hiks hiks. Della, Della just doesn't want to be a burden. If there's anything Della can do, why not."

Sobbing, Della expressed her feelings and what she was thinking at the moment.

Danang further tightened his embrace, so that his wife felt calmer and needed by him. Not just because of what he had all along.

"You are my wife. I'll bear everything you need. Most importantly, you keep praying for Me to stay healthy, and in the protection of Allah SWT. If it's about the windfall, if we are grateful it will certainly be enough. After all, you're resting and not working anymore, so that our pregnancy program can also work, right?"

Danang reminded his wife of that, with their original plan. Post-operative thyroid gland suction some time ago.

Now, Della returned her husband's embrace tightly, realizing her mistake. With all the thoughts he had on him this morning.

But Della's condition, understood by Danang. Who knows how the character of a Della, has become accustomed to being independent with what becomes his daily habits.

Maybe because from a small age he went with his uncle, to have to do nothing himself. And by the time her brother had to work in a big city, she also had to live alone.

"You don't need much of a mind. Whatever you want to say, say it to Me. You are free to express your opinion, and I do not want you to keep it from me. Because it would make me feel so guilty, in case something happened to you."

The cup!

Della cried even more, hearing her husband's words. Being happy, the way her husband treats her right now.

Moreover, Danang also gave him a sense of comfort, with brief kisses on his forehead.

It signified that her husband was serious about what she said earlier. It's not just giving him temporary calm.

Finally, after Della calmed down a little, Danang invited her to sleep.

"Yes already Yang, let's go to sleep. Tomorrow, if I can take time off, we go for a walk to the big city. To visit Linda and Romi."

"You miss Erli too, right?"

Della was instantly transported quickly, with an offer given by her husband.

*****

At his uncle Romi's house.

Right now, his uncle's condition is getting worse. He could not think of anything he ate or drank.

If provided with a large amount of food, he would spend that time as well, without any scraps.

But if there was no food, he would shout asking for it, with a dirty speech. Because he felt that he was ignored and unnoticed.

Also when the medicine is provided. He would drink it, even to the point of it running out. Not according to the dose.

This of course makes his wife feel worried, if her husband was overdosed.

A few days ago, her husband almost overdosed. Because all the drugs that are nearby are drunk until they run out.

Fortunately at that time it can still be helped, but had to do treatment in the hospital for three days.

This also further complicates the situation of his wife, who has to make her own living for her life and children. Their savings were no longer left.

In fact, his second wife had never come to visit. Since officially divorced. Because the divorce process is indeed faster, if one of the parties being sued has a mental disorder. Just like what happened to his uncle Romi.

"Sir, eling sir! Don't keep going like this!"

His first wife complained about his situation, which was getting out of control.

Even this coral, just throwing away the honk is just anywhere. Not going to the bathroom, because it seems to have told me the memory and not remember anything.

"Sir, what's your fault, sir? How can it be done like this..."

Complaints by complaint, questioned by his wife. Because of fatigue, tired and upset when taking care of it.

"What the hell! I'm going to ask you for a meal, why don't you provide it?"

Her husband, just snapped at her. Because he forgot, if he had just eaten.

This has often happened, so that the neighbors around him, have never wanted to come to his house. Because she was often yelled at by her husband.

This of course makes the stall, or the shop quiet. So over time, there are no items that can be sold and used up for their daily needs.

Finally, his wife had no income. And keep looking for work outside in order to keep making money.

Unfortunately he was also dizzy, how could he keep working, without any worries. For having to leave her husband alone in a house in such circumstances.

Finally he asked Romi for advice, for the solution this time.

Fortunately, Romi gives advice and also sends what is needed. Although actually he and Romi did not have the heart to do it to the uncle.

Finally, the room used by his uncle, was given an iron door. Which resembles a prison cell door, so it can be locked safely. And his uncle could not get out of the room, as long as his wife worked outside.

It is inspired from the mental hospital, at the time of Romi visit first.

And his uncle's wife was just enough to provide food provided on the table, which was placed outside the room. In order to be taken by his uncle himself through the locked cell door.

If the child comes home from school, he can also provide food and drink without fear if the father will run amok.

"It seems, You are hit by a plague will be made by yourself sir," said his wife, when she saw her husband was asleep.

He could no longer cry, to mourn his fate now. Because she was aware, if she couldn't possibly let her husband be stranded on the streets. Just like people who have lost their memories, and are not cared for by their families.

She still had a good side, willing to take care of her husband who already had nothing. And can only trouble himself.

Fortunately, there was still his kind-hearted nephew, Romi. Who every month still want to send money shopping for his family. At least the money can meet his daily needs, although not all fulfilled.

But he still thanked his nephew. Who he had treated while still in school.
