Aunt Melinda

Don't Ask Again

In the afternoon, on a break from work, Ferry came to his mother-in-law's house. To pick up his wife and son. The three of them, will be coming home this afternoon as well.

Fortunately, Erli was willing and not fussy anymore, just like yesterday.

And now, the three of them were already on their way to the house.

"Ma. Mama's gone far tomorrow?" asked Erli, who was sitting in the bonfire and was in the middle. It was between his parents.

"Yes Honey. Erli who is a henchman and not fussy is equally papa at home."

Erli nodded affirming his mother's words. Then he said, "but go home and bring some souvenirs!"

"Yes-yes dear," Linda replied as she stroked her son's hair.

Arriving home, Ferry turned off the engine. Then he went down, after Linda and Erli went down first.

Ferry came into the house. When the door was opened. And Linda and her son went in first.

Now, Ferry sits unwinded in the living room chair. He saw Erli who was following his mother, who was opening a refrigerator.

"It's Papa's love!"

Erli nodded at the request of his mother. He received a plastic bottle of cold drinking water, which his mother had taken from the refrigerator.

"Ma. There's an orange. Erli wants!" erli series, when looking at citrus fruits in the refrigeration cupboard.

"Yes. Give the bottle the same papa first. Mama took oranges for Erli and papa too. Mama will peel all of you, yes" said Linda, confirming the request of her son.

With a happy smile, Erli walked up with leaping excitement. He headed towards his father's seat. But apparently, his father had fallen asleep in a sitting state.

"Pa. Papa!"

Shaking his papa's hand, Erli awakens Ferry. Who apparently overslept because tired.

Linda came with a large bowl of oranges. She put it on the table, and saw the state of her husband who still looked sleepy.

"Do not go back. You're tired like that" Linda said, asking her husband not to go back to work.

"Yes this is Deck. It's so sleepy."

"Yes already then. Don't go back. Go to sleep first. I also left early yesterday morning. It's also late" said Linda, who felt sorry for her husband's condition.

In the past, her husband never worked as hard as it is today because at that time, Ferry was still a police officer.

So, of course, working hours are also regular and do not need to sweat a lot every day.

Much different than what is now.

"It's Mas. Eating the orange used to be the same Erli. Linda just peeled it." Linda asked Ferry to come and eat the orange she had peeled for Erli.

Ferry nodded, and picked up some of the orange pieces that his wife had peeled off. After eating it a few times, he put back the oranges that were still in his hands.

"Mas wants to sleep first Dek. Later, if there's a phone call you pick up Dek. Tell me I'm on a break."

Ferry got up from his seat, after kissing Erli and Linda's heads.

Linda nodded in agreement with the request from her husband. He continued his activities, namely peeling and feeding his son who was eating oranges.

"Ma. Mama's gone tomorrow?" Erli asked again, about the departure of his mother tomorrow morning. After only the two of them stayed in the living room.

"Yes Dear. Same as usual if you go to work. But this is a long time home. So unfortunately you can't be naughty." Linda tried to explain to her son, so that his son could understand.

"yes Ma. Erli is not naughty really," said Erli, with spoiled and his style that worried. Typical of children his age.

But Linda's about to open it. He does not want to be disturbed, with a message or phone call from anyone.

But unfortunately, Linda's desire is not known by the person who is sending a message for her.

So that there is a message notification coming in again, not long after.

Linda was disturbed. He wanted to know who was sending him a message.

It turns out it was Rudi.

The manager reminded himself, if tomorrow morning should not be late. Because the bus provided by the company, to deliver training participants, will arrive at the factory half an hour before departure time.

Linda just replied to the message by saying yes. He did not want to provoke anger or anything that could make Mr. Rudi flinch.

Mr. Komarudin, has given some advice and also a message to Linda. Because of his rejection yesterday.

But from the story conveyed by Mr. Komarudin, Linda actually felt curious. By way of Mr. Komarudin and Mr. Rudi playing together with his woman, while still in Jakarta long ago.

'Surely it will be different, yes, if there are other people who watch the game in bed. And after that, so play along too.'

That was roughly the thought that was currently in Linda's heart.

It seems, Linda is already addicted and poisoned with everything that she just felt at this time. And that's with someone else. Not with her own husband.

*****

Tonight, Linda can still carry out her duties as a wife.

Nothing changed from Linda's behavior and habits while playing around with her husband, Ferry.

And Ferry, too, did not feel suspicious or find any difference in Linda's attitude. There were only two of them in bed.

Linda served herself well. In fact, the two of them did it not only once. But a few times. Because tonight is, the night before his wife leaves to do her job tomorrow. And for the next week.

So, they both do it to be able to satisfy each other.

"Mas will definitely miss you Dek a lot," said Ferry, as they both finished, and got ready for bed.

"Linda must be Mas, too" said Linda, leaning her head over her husband's chest.

"You must be tired too. Yesterday overtime until the afternoon. And tomorrow, we have to go to Jakarta for a week. Don't you want to stop and just stay home?"

Linda raised her head, looking towards her husband.

"Mas. Don't talk about this anymore. Linda lazy to have to answer it again and again."

There was the sound of long breaths, as Linda leaned back on her husband's chest.

"Sorry Deck. I have no intention of forcing. But if you're tired and not strong, you don't have to push yourself, to keep working."

Linda just kept quiet. He doesn't want to talk about this anymore. Because it will remind him, on events that he already does not want to remember anymore.

Before long, Linda was fast asleep. With his head still leaning against Ferry's chest.

With a breath, Ferry rubbed Linda's head.

"Sorry Deck. It's all my fault."

Ferry tried to close his eyes. He wanted to quickly follow his wife into the dreamland.

Because tomorrow morning, she's gonna have to take Linda to work. Same as usual in hours and work days in general.
