Spinning Wheel



A month later, Linda returned home. Everything is going as it should, and there is nothing to worry about. But, he had not carried out his plan, to be able to work again outside the home.


The attitude of the Ferry police, too, is no longer the same as it used to be.


He seemed attentive and was also more often at home. Unlike the old days, who often left, even though there was actually no duty hour for him.


Erli is also getting smarter and growing healthier.


Her body was fatter, compared to yesterday, when her mom and dad were in trouble.


And now, Erli had also become clearer, if he said those words.


"Mama. Wiry-washy! It's starting, '" cried Erli happily. When watching his favorite cartoon television show aired on a glass screen.


"Yes already. Erli sit and watch! Mama's gonna grab a meal for Erli. Wanna?"


"Tiger Ma. Want to mammm!"


With enthusiasm, Erli answered the question from his mother. He also pranced, excited, mimicking the cartoon style on the glass screen.


Linda smiled happily, looking at her son who was in his current state. He immediately headed towards the kitchen. Take food for Erli.


"Assynolay...".


From the outside of the house, there was the sound of people saying greetings.


"Wallaikumsalam..."


Linda, replying to the greeting from her place, which is in the kitchen.


Erli also followed back the greeting. Although he could not pronounce it completely and correctly.


The man who had said his greetings, entered without waiting for the door to be opened, by the host. Because that guy is Ferry's own cop.


"Hello Unfortunately Papa!"


Ferry police greeted Erli, stretching out his arms, to get ready to hug Erli.


Overjoyed, Erli also welcomed his papa embrace. He seemed to be smiling cheerfully, due to the arrival of the Ferry police, before he ate.


From the kitchen, Linda appears carrying a small bowl, containing food for Erli, her son.


"Dear to eat?" ask the Ferry police, who are aimed at his son, when he sees his wife bringing food for Erli.


"Yes-yes. Mammm.. mammm..."


Erli replied enthusiastically. She welcomed her mother, Linda, with a big smile.


That's how Linda is now. Everything was better, after what happened to her, as a result of the behavior of her husband, Ferry police.


But who would have thought, the happiness felt by Linda, did not last long.


The wheel turned, and Linda, who had not felt the above, had to go back down again, with everything she felt now.


*****


Two years later.


Ferry police fired from his position as a state servant. He was not activated as a police officer.


And this is because of some things, mistakes made by Ferry police themselves.


"Sorry Deck."


Just an apology, which Ferry police can say, when the news reached the ears of his wife, Linda.


Linda's back shaken. Especially now, family finances certainly stop as well. And unlikely, Linda asks her parents, or Danang, as her sister.


But, still this had no effect on their financial good. Because, now, he was no longer a policeman.


Police Ferry, has become a civilian, just like the others.


Actually, the mother and her sister, had asked Linda to divorce from her husband.


But Linda is also unlikely to break her son's heart, by separating Erli from her papa. Police Ferry.


And Linda, also did not want to leave her husband, in a bad state like now.


That is why, Linda is determined to get out of the financial difficulties experienced by her small family.


She asked her husband for permission to work outside the home.


Moreover, Erli had already started attending kindergarten school.


"Mas, Linda applied for a job yes," Linda said one morning.


Her husband raised his head, looking at Linda who was standing in front of him, as Ferry sat on the terrace.


He noticed how Linda looked now.


"Where do you apply for a job? How's his usual outfit, not formal?" tanya Ferry suspected.


Linda wears long jeans, with a black cotton blouse. Contrast with her white skin color. Her hair is also only in pigtails as one.


"In our area there is now a new factory. In fact, it is still in the development stage as well. Linda's applying for a job there."


Ferry speechless. She doesn't really want to if Linda has to work outside the home. This will cause him to be jealous, because the beauty of his wife, can make anyone interested.


She was afraid that Linda would turn away. He left himself who no longer worked as a police officer.


"Is there no work done at home or near the house?" tanya Ferry, who could not resist his wife's desire to work again.


"What job does it do?" linda asked her husband to give her a look.


"Open shop? we don't have the capital. And Ferry is also not possible to work in a PT, because it can not make a certificate of good behavior at the police station."


What Linda said, made Ferry take a deep breath. He knew that what his wife had said was true.


"Mumpung PT it's new Mas. So, Linda who has no experience and is no longer young, there is still a chance to be able to enter work. Because they definitely need enough employees for a multi-international company like that."


Linda explained to her husband that, PT which is being built in her area now is a company with a multi-international well-known brand. And the goods produced in the company, not marketed in Indonesia. Except abroad.


So, the finished goods produced will be exported outside, according to the country that placed the order.


"Do you know where that is?" tanya Ferry, when Linda finished giving her an explanation.


"From some school friends, who happened to meet yesterday, while taking care of the letters of equipment to apply for a job."


Now, Ferry can no longer stand in the way of Linda's wishes.


"Yes it's okay. Most importantly, take care of yourself!"


Linda nodded in agreement with her husband's words. He also smiled happily, because he had received permission, to apply for a job at PT.


In hopes of changing her family's economic situation, Linda is determined to get the job.


Linda is not aware that, life in a PT with production like the two mentioned earlier, is not easy.


Linda has no experience at all. Although he had worked in a wooden warehouse, of course the atmosphere and conditions were much different.


Competition and the environment of his friends, will also affect everything. Either in positive or negative terms.


Linda also did not realize that her life would change. As time went on, as long as he pursued the world of work in the company he had just entered.
