Aunt Melinda

Nonnormal

At the time of sleep.

"Mas. Linda has money for Danang." Linda told her husband, if he had already earned the money needed for his sister's college needs, Danang.

"Where from?" ferry asked, changing his sleeping position, facing his wife.

"From... The Mas company. But, but this isn't in Linda's own name."

Ferry looked at his wife to hear what she wanted to say next.

"This is on behalf of her friend Linda. In fact, he had already applied for a loan since two weeks ago. But, he needs also for the near future. So it was given to Linda. And a loan application on behalf of Linda, which is likely to be liquid for another two weeks, make Linda's friend."

Carefully, Linda gave an explanation to her own husband, so that the reasons made could make sense.

Ferry was silent. But before long, he smiled faintly, feeling relieved.

"Thank God then. Mas will say the same friends Mas, if the paddy field is not so in pawn or sold."

Now, change Linda who is staring at her husband, waiting for further explanation.

"Yes. So, Mas try to talk the rice field to the owner of the rice mill. He is a friend of Mas. But because of the money he used to buy rice that would harvest him another day, yes he said he could give the money next week."

"And you are also the one who gave the proposal to try to ask him for help" Ferry said again, continuing his explanation.

Linda nodded with a smile.

"Yes Mas. It'sit's okay. Tell me if it doesn't," said Linda, asking her husband to no longer borrow money on rice mills.

Finally, Ferry invited Linda to go to bed. Because it's midnight. Tomorrow, they also have to get up early to go to work again.

"Be careful Deck if it works. Lots of big, automated machines in your factory. Fearfully, there's a work accident, just like the one on the news sometimes."

Linda, nodding assent to the message from her husband.

"Yes Mas. Thank you, yes" said Linda, as she greeted and kissed her husband's hand.

"Dear Erli. Can't be naughty. Can't run around and disturb Papa's work too" Linda said, giving advice to her son.

Erli smiled hearing his mother's words. She also looked happy, as her mother kissed her cheeks and played with her elongated hair.

"Mama. Go home!"

Erli intended to ask her mother, Linda, so that when she came home from work later, buy snacks for her.

"Oya Darling. What kind of junk do you want?" linda asked, aligning herself with her son, so she could see how the face of her son was thinking to explain his desire.

"Emhhhh.. good snack."

Finally, Erli could not explain about the snacks that he thought were delicious. Because all this time, if his mother came home with snacks, it would always be good..

"Ok Darling. Mama will bring good snacks for Erli."

Erli looked delighted, with his face twinkling.

"Mama comes in first, baby" said Linda, saying goodbye to her son, Erli.

"Linda went in first Mas," said Linda again, who now turns to say goodbye to her husband, Ferry.

"Da... Mama!"

"Yes Deck. Careful," said Ferry with a nod of assurances.

While Erli, dai was still waving to his mother, who had currently started walking towards the residential gate.

Erli nodded in agreement. Because he was happy there too.

Besides because there are no children who are the same as him, he was also spoiled by people who were in the rice mill.

Many of them, who bring food or just pastries to eat while playing around his working papa.

More importantly, Erli could always be close to his papa. And if his papa is in need of going out for a long time, he will be taken to his house of worship.

Erli was entrusted to his father Linda, so as not to bother when Ferry there is work outside the rice mill.

*****

Today is the last day of the week in working hours. So, in one week, there were only five working days at the factory where Linda worked.

And if there is a need for urgent production, on Saturday it will be held overtime, so that production targets can be completed.

That's why Komarudin asked Linda to make excuses for overtime on Saturday. So that he and Linda can have a long time to be able to enjoy the togetherness of both of them.

..."Linda. How?" ...

Mr. Komarudin had already asked Linda in the morning. But, he had no chance to meet in person. So, he could only ask on a phone call.

..."How what sir?" ...

..."You forgot our plan tomorrow morning? You haven't asked your husband for permission?" ...

..."Huh, plan?" ...

Linda seemed to forget, what was asked by Mr. Komarudin yesterday, when he had just had plans for a task to Jakarta.

..."Yes Lin. You will be in Jakarta in a week. We need time together so I don't miss it too much later. Can't you?" ...

Now, Linda is confused herself. Because last night he was late to come home. And tomorrow, she'll have to find an excuse to get out of the house without her husband suspecting her.

..."Lin's. Are you still there?" ...

..."eh, emhhh yes sir. Later tonight I try to get permission." ...

..."Must be Lin!" ...

Click!

Linda let out a long sigh, as the phone was closed by Mr. Komarudin.

He could not possibly refuse the request from his superior. Moreover, the assistant manager, has also helped him a lot in the near future.

There are many things Linda cannot say. Including how he felt when he was together with Mr. Komarudin.

The feeling if he is wanted. The feelings he needed, not just for satisfaction in a selfish way.

But, because of that satisfaction he also enjoyed. Because Mr. Komarudin, also able to provide satisfaction and comfort to him. Although Linda never allowed Mr. Komarudin to access her very important private territory.

'I'm still normal, right? Or I can only feel the satisfaction of others, and not of my own husband?'

On the side of her own heart, Linda already felt an incongruity in her own feelings.

He felt that, he was not normal as a woman and a wife.

But, the selfish side of his heart still did not want to know. He let it all happen without trying to stop his habit.

And after she came into contact with Mr. Komarudin, a habit that used to be before going to bed, even though she had just finished connecting with her husband, now she no longer does.

'It's really weird and abnormal for me?'
