Aunt Melinda

Go Home

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Linda was ready to go home. The prescription medication, being taken by his mother, to the place where the medicine is in the hospital.

Linda was waiting in the room. Waiting for her husband too, who had already replied to the message she sent.

Ferry police, had promised to come to pick him up, when he was done doing his duty hours.

Ten minutes later, the Ferry police actually arrived. His mother, three minutes after the arrival of Ferry police.

"It's all, right?" ferry police asked Linda, who is currently in a wheelchair.

Linda's just gonna use a wheelchair, get to the parking lot. Because he can't walk with, just like healthy people in general.

The car is at the front of the hospital entrance. A security man, received the wheelchair that Linda had been wearing.

"Thank you, sir" said Linda and her mother.

Ferry police, put in the luggage, which will be brought home.

Moments later, everything was done and the car headed towards the hospital exit.

Linda, go home to her mother's. Not to her husband's house.

"Linda went home to Mom. Let someone look after and take care of Linda in the meantime, too" Linda said, seeking approval from her husband, Ferry police.

Ferry turned a glance, then nodded in agreement to his wife's request.

She felt that Linda was trying to avoid him, because she was still angry with him.

But, Ferry police understand Linda's condition which is indeed because of her actions as well. Until Linda, it should be treated in the hospital as well this week.

Ferry's police feel guilty. But he also felt very grateful, because his wife never had the heart to report all the events that happened to him. Although actually, Linda also has the right to report all the events to the authorities.

Linda can also ask to part easily, if by using the reasons for persecution, and domestic violence, which she has been doing so far.

But Linda never did. Linda stayed with him, even though her body could no longer accept the fact that her husband did not treat her as a wife well.

Shortly after, the car carrying Linda and her mother, driven by Ferry police himself, goes into the yard of Linda's mother's house.

The afternoon changed with the night. As for the neighbors, no one knew of Linda's return from the hospital.

But, the roar of the car engine that brought them, of course, was heard by the neighbors, whose house was closer to the house of Linda's mother.

Neighbors who heard the sound of a car engine, came out to see who was coming.

"Eh, actually Linda's coming back here."

"Yes tuh. How's this?"

"Where how?"

"Say he said the disease was contagious."

"Yes, too."

"Clearly how? Did we report it to Mr. Lurah?"

"Fear ah, same with her husband. It's bad for him."

"Ihhh, yes."

"Pity the Linda."

"Yes pity. It's pretty so."

"Because karma might."

"Ih, it's ah. Don't wanna follow. Fear of nular karmanya."

The neighbors were whispering to each other by pointing towards her mother Linda's house, finally disbanding on their own.

They return home, without looking at Linda first, because of news of Linda's strange and contagious illness.

Whereas usually, villagers will be more sympathetic to people who are sick.

But because of Linda's case, which they think has a strange illness, they end up feeling afraid to get close.

Even though they do not know the truth.

*****

Inside her mother Linda's house, Erli cries for Linda to hold her, as soon as she sees her mother's arrival.

"Mama... Mom. huwaaa... Mama ndong Ma!" Erli whined for her to be held in her mother's arms, Linda.

But, Ferry police immediately took over the boy's request. He immediately held Erli, so as not to cry anymore, because he asked to be carried by Linda.

"Cup cup darling. Mama is sick. Erli with Papa. Let Mama rest first" said Ferry police, asking that the child be quiet and not fuss anymore.

Despite not understanding what his father said, Erli was silent as well, while continuing to look at his mother.

While Linda, could only smile towards Erli, while lying on the bed, in her own room.

"This is the same Mbah Kung Erli_nya!"

His father Linda asked his son-in-law to hand Erli over to him.

"Erli want to be with Mbah Kung?" ask the Ferry police to his son, Erli.

Because it has been more than a week Erli with Mbah Kung_nya, he also became more familiar and according to.

Now, Erli is in Mbah Kung's sling. While his daughter, Linda's mother, was cleaning up the belongings, which had been brought home from the hospital.

"Assynoltom..."

From outside the house, a greeting was heard from Danang. Linda's sister.

He just got home from college.

"Mr Linda's home yet?" danang asked his mother, who opened the door for him.

Danang asked that because, seeing the car in front of the house.

"Yes. Just got there." His mother, Linda, answered his son's question, nodding her head as well.

"How is he doing? Is it better?" asked Danang again, who had only visited her older sister once, while in the hospital.

In addition to busy college, her sister Linda also works, for tuition fees. He did not want to burden his mother, who was working alone right now.

His father is no longer working, just like before, while still in good health.

That is why, he decided to go to college while working as well.

"Already Nang. But yes it is."

Danang walked towards her brother's room.

Tok tok!

Although the door of the room was not closed, Danang still knocked on the door first.

Without waiting for an answer from the room, Danang went straight into her brother's room.

"Mr. Is Linda really healthy?" asked Danang, kneeling beside Linda's bed.

"Yes. It's better, Nang."

Danang glanced at her husband Linda. But, he did not say hello or ask his sister-in-law. The Ferry police.

"Bak spoke to Danang, if there's anything. Don't hold your own. If you can't talk too," Danang said, encouraging her older sister.

Danang is nobody. But at least, he was Linda's only brother.

He is also a man, who is old enough. So, of course, you can come to think, if something happens to her sister, Linda.

Danang also did not want to see the situation of her brother, who was constantly oppressed and treated arbitrarily, by her own husband.
