Aunt Melinda

Seeking Solutions

Arriving home, Linda put Erli to bed in the room first.

But unfortunately, Erli actually woke up and found that he was in his own home.

"Mama. Sewah house..."

Erli was not aware that, the two had also fallen asleep in his symbiotic house. Even though he has returned to his own home.

"Honey. We just got here. You were sleeping" Linda said, patting the back of her child's hand.

"Hiks... Sewage Mama... Cesspit!"

Erli continued to cry, and did not want to know. He wanted to be in his covert home first.

"What's wrong?" Ferry came to his son's room, and also asked. Because of hearing Erli's crying voice.

"This is Mas. Erli asked the father's house again" Linda replied, still holding her son's hand.

"Cup cup cup! We're home, honey. Tomorrow it's time to go home anter mama work, we go to the sewage house huh?"

Linda turned to her husband, who said that tomorrow he would take her to his father's house. After they drove themselves to work in the morning.

"It's okay, right? Tomorrow we go to the rice field. Want to buy rice that is still in the rice field Dek."

Ferry finally explained why he had said what he had told his son.

"Cong you say that from earlier? Then we can stay at mom's house."

"Nice Deck. It's okay tomorrow morning just tell Danang. Ask please tell me father too, let Erli be taken care of by father."

Erli silently heard the words and talks of his parents. And of course, Erli was feeling very happy. Because tomorrow he can be in his house of worship, and guarded by his feet as well.

"Tiger. Erli wants Pa!"

With enthusiasm, Erli said that he wanted to be invited to his house tomorrow morning.

Linda could not say anything more. Because her son also looks very happy and happy, when he heard the words of her husband.

"Erli's hungry?" tanya Ferry, who had indeed become closer to Erli. Because we get used to being together every day.

Today, Erli's time is more together with his father. Compared to her mother.

Everything has changed and is no longer the same as it used to be. Since her mother, Linda, worked in a factory. And his father, too, was no longer a policeman.

Whether this is worth being grateful for, or not. To be sure, Erli was happier, and happy. Because no longer see his mother who often cried like before.

"Hunter Ma. Eat it Ma!"

Erli said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.

"Mas. Didn't you buy a side dish?" ask Linda, who just realized that she and her husband had eaten at her mother's house.

And while on the street, he forgot to buy food or side dishes for Erli.

"Forgot Deck."

"Emmhh... Erli want an omelet, or a cow's eye?" ask Linda, who is aware that there are no side dishes available for Erli tonight.

Eventually, Linda found an idea for her son's dinner side dish. But, he also asked first, before deciding to make it.

And quickly, Erli answered the question.

"The big face is Ma!"

"Ok Honey!"

"Let's do it. You take a shower there!"

Her husband, Ferry, came to the kitchen. Ferry asked Linda to take a shower. Because he's the one who's gonna make an omelet for his son.

"It's okay, Mom. Just a moment," said Linda, by turning on the gas stove and preparing the frying pan.

Finally, Ferry relented and let Linda do her job in the kitchen. As for him alone, back inside Erli's room. Invite him to come out and prepare for his delayed dinner.

"Mama eat? Papa eat?"

Erli asked his father if his mother and father had eaten with him or not. And Ferry just nodded, without giving a description and reason, if the two of them had eaten at his house.

*****

In the room, before Linda and Ferry went to bed.

"Mas."

"Hemmm... What's wrong?" ask Ferry, because Linda called him.

"That's. emhhh, I want to sell the rice field. Make repayment of Danang's college payment."

Linda tried to tell her husband if his father had any intention to sell his family's rice fields.

"Continue?"

"Actually dear Mas, if the rice field is sold. Kasian is also father. But..."

"Mas no money Deck yet. This, tomorrow Mas to the rice paddies to be purchased, also join Mas's friend who has the mill."

Ferry understood what his wife meant. But he himself could do nothing. Because he just started his business.

"Borrow your friend Mas?" ask Linda, with all the possibilities. What he thought could be done to save his father's paddy field.

"Nice Deck. All this time, I've been troubling him a lot. Gini trouble time want to bother too?"

Linda was silent for a moment, before finally finding an idea to say to her husband's friend. "Seek your friend to buy it! Later, if he doesn't like it, and we've got something we've changed to him. How's it?" linda asked, giving a proposal that the rice mill boss who bought his father's rice field.

Ferry thought about what Linda said. He just nodded, then said, "Mas try to talk tomorrow the trip time to the rice paddy field."

"Yes Mas. Thank ye. Mas Tried. Let's just say sometime, we have a chance to buy that rice field again."

Linda still can not give up her father's rice field, if it falls into the hands of others. Because only the rice field, which became his father's grip all this time.

"But, Linda will also try to find a loan from a friend or company if possible. Who knows, Linda could have."

Linda said that, she actually wanted to buy her own or at least be able to cover the administrative shortcomings that had not been paid off by Danang. So that his father is also no longer thinking, and can still maintain his health.

"It's okay. We try to do it together. Who can get it, yes it is used. But, if what we're trying to do is not a result, it's up to you, right?"

Linda nodded in agreement to the words spoken by her husband. She smiled, hearing the words that her husband had just spoken tonight.

"Thank you, my God."

Linda thanked me, although there were no results to see.

"Not Deck. It hasn't worked."

"Hahaha. At least it feels comfortable, because there is hope," Linda said, with a calm feeling.

Now, Ferry held onto Linda's cheek, who was still smiling happily.

And Linda knew what her husband wanted.
