Aunt Melinda

Preparation to Apply

Linda's done cooking. There was nothing he could do at home either. Erli was also non-existent, so practically he could only be silent and dumbfounded alone.

Going to his mother's house, to pick up Erli, there's no motorbike at home.

So, he decided to call Ferry, saying goodbye if the two went to his mother's house.

Tut tut tut!

Tut tut tut!

..."Yes Deck. What's up?"...

..."Mom, am I going to Mom's house now? get Erli."...

..."Just go on Deck. We will be home soon too. It's just setting up some rice sacks."...

..."Is it operating today?"...

..."No Deck. Tomorrow morning only. Mas also want us to hold a salvation first, in a small way. In order for this Mas business given ease and smoothness."...

..."Well, tomorrow morning Linda applied for another job. Who prepared everything for the salvation?"...

..."It's nothing Deck. Later Mas can message to his friend's wife Mas. There's kok, which is catering near the fork leading to the police station, you know Dek."...

..."Oh, that one, huh?"...

..."Yeah, let's not bother either."...

..."Yes Mas. It'sit's okay. But, Linda so can not attend Mas?" ...

Linda felt guilty, because tomorrow she could not come together, during the ceremony for her husband's new venture.

..."It'sit's okay. May everything be launched. You too, applying for her job is easy and not complicated anymore." ...

..."Yes Mas. Thank you."...

..."Oh yeah, wait a minute! I'll be home soon if this is all done. Just a little more."...

..."Yes Mas. Linda wait." ...

Click!

Linda smiled to herself, remembering that her husband had changed a lot.

In addition to no longer being rude, Ferry was also willing to try, doing a pretty rough job.

In the past, when he was a police officer, he only did his business by acting as a boss. It is only to give orders and show them.

But now, her husband wants to jump directly, by doing the menial work.

Linda hoped that everything would remain the same as it is today. Her husband is no longer a police officer.

Linda remains grateful, even though there is no longer a position as a state servant.

Perhaps because of that, her husband was changed for the better than yesterday.

*****

In the big city.

Romi is preparing everything, for the application event that he will do for the nephew of the landlord.

Although now the house he occupied he had bought, and not a rented house status, but Romi still behaved well with the previous owner.

"Hehehe, getting married is not enough to just look at the candidate in terms of his education, position or wealth. But the main one is here!"

The contract convinced Romi, pointing to his own chest.

He assured Romi that, he and his nephew's family, only judged Romi from his deeds and the obedience of Romi worshiped all this time.

"There's no need to bother thinking about a lot of things, Romi. What matters is that you have good intentions, my sister's family is happy to accept you as her daughter-in-law."

With all the encouragement from the father of the contract, Romi finally decided to accept the offer. And now, he was preparing to propose to his nephew.

"But I don't know the size of his finger. How do I buy this engagement ring?" romi asked by muttering alone.

But because he never talked to the girl who wanted him to apply intensely, because everything from the father's intermediary, he finally decided to ask his contract father.

Romi turned on his motorbike, to meet the father in the next alley.

Shortly after, Romi arrived at the house he was headed to.

After parking his motorcycle, Romi walked towards the door, then knocked on it.

Tok tok!

"Assynoltom..."

The house looked deserted, and the usual aunty of the maid on the terrace of the building next to the main house, was also nowhere to be seen.

Romi looked at his wrist. As it turned out, the clock pointed at the number ten over.

"Maybe the maid's aunt is cooking. And you go to the market" murmured Romi, who was still at the door.

"Children must also be in school, or college."

Wife of the father of contract, indeed selling in the market. They had several stalls, which sold a wide variety of daily necessities. And some of the stalls they also rented for others.

As for their children, some are already married. But there are still two people, one is in college, and the other is in third grade High School.

"Wallaikumsalam..."

"Eh, Mas Romi."

The housemaid's aunt answered Romi's greetings. He also came out of the house. But from the building next to the main house.
