Aunt Melinda
In a New Place



Two weeks later.


Linda's really been out of her workplace at the dress shop. And this heart, the two will begin their new work, in the wood shed.


In the morning, Linda was getting ready to go to work, when her father was also preparing with a hoe on his shoulder.


"Lins. Do you have money? I want to buy fertilizer, but the money is less this Lin."


His father Linda asked him, to ask Linda for money, so that he could buy fertilizer for the growing season this year.


"There sir, a minute."


Linda went back into the room, to take the money her father had asked for.


Shortly after, Linda came back again, and handed her some money. "Sir, this is Linda's last money. Now, Linda doesn't work at the store anymore" Linda said, telling her father that she has now moved.


"Lho, why move?" asked her father Linda, who was shocked, because she did not know anything, about her son's life outside the house.


"You're looking for another experience sir. Bosen, that's it."


"It's good in the store. Just stay in the shade, and don't get tired of kayaking in the fields." Said his father Linda imagines how good it is to work in the store, compared to work in a field that is certainly hot and dirty.


Linda simply responded to her father's words with a smile. He understood that his father was not someone with a high education. So certainly will not know, even though Linda told me about her situation, in the dress shop.


"Yes already. You leave first. Do not keep moving work. Not good, if you have to start over."


"Oh yeah, in a week, your sister wants a semester. That helps you pay your sister's unpaid tuition! I don't have any money yet, because it's just planting season."


Linda could only nod, hearing her father's words, before finally going to the rice field.


With a long sigh, Linda finally came out of the house, then locked it.


After putting the key to her door, on an electric marker, Linda set off for work, on foot, heading for the village road, to wait for the village transport.


Linda's mother, she's been going to the neighbor's house since morning. Some need their energy, to do homework.


While his sister, had gone to school as well, when his mother had just come out of the house.

In the wood shed, Linda's new workplace.


Just as Linda imagined that, a warehouse there would not be many people, as employees.


There were only a few people, with five males and two females, including with Linda herself.


The two women, as an administration that records the entry and exit of goods, are in the warehouse.


Linda has already become acquainted with one woman, who will be working with her, as the administration in this wooden warehouse.


And Linda, who has also been acquainted with five men, will be her working partner as well.


Now, he will start a job, with a very different type and field of work, to his former job.


Because her girlfriend had already worked in the warehouse, so she was the one who taught Linda, because she was the senior one.


"It's for street proof papers, and this one's for the notebook used to copy."


Moments later, Linda finished learning all about her new job. She was very happy, because these new friends, very open, and not much to say, just like her friends who were at the store yesterday.


Maybe because in this wooden warehouse most of the men, and the ones in the clothes shop yesterday are women, which has become a habit, if the woman talks a lot and gossip.


"Lins. I thought, You're a bule derivative. So I'm less," said Tami, Linda's senior friend at her new workplace.


"No, Ma'am. I'm the real person here."


People who are new to him, will certainly think that, he is a child of the bresteran, with his father or mother who is Caucasian.


"But actually Lin, you don't have any doubts or suspicions?" tami asked, doubting Linda's answer.


"What do you mean, doubt how?"


Finally, Tami says what she has in mind, about Linda and her origins.


Linda chuckled, after hearing the explanation from Ms. Tami.


"Son Ma'am. Kan Linda is also not the only one in this city, which has a physical stucco, whereas her parents are ordinary people Original here too."


"Yes, but it's in town. Near the beach. In accordance with the story and history in our city. In the village, I just found you."


Ms. Tami explained her suspicions, against Linda's very beautiful identity such as the blesteran artists, who often wara-wiri on the television screen.


"Gak ah. Linda was born with a shaman. And at home too, not kayaking now. The lahiran should be with a midwife or doctor. Birth should also be in the clinic, not at home. So, Linda couldn't possibly have switched Ma'am."


"Hahaha, yes, yes" said Tami, after hearing the explanation Linda gave him.


*****


At the dress shop, where Linda used to work.


Boss, look around for Linda's whereabouts, which was not visible from the store.


"Where is linda going?" ask the Boss, to one of his employees.


"I don't know the Boss."


"Do others know?" asked Bu Boss again, because he felt that, he had not seen the existence of his rival.


"Ask the Boss, ma'am" said one of his other employees.


The boss smiled wryly, hearing the words of one of his employees.


She felt that, what she had heard all this time, about the rumor that, her husband, was playing with Linda, was true.


But since she also had no proof whatsoever, Ms. Boss could not accuse her husband carelessly.


She did not want if, her husband would be angry, and instead blame himself, for not being able to do anything desired by her husband, if playing in bed.


But, Boss Ma was also curious, with Linda, whom he currently could not talk to anymore.


She who was pregnant young, also could not find any reason, to scold Linda, because it turned out that Linda was no longer in her shop.


"Daddy, where's Linda going?"


The boss turned his head, when someone asked about Linda to him.


"Do not know Mas. There was no such thing as that," replied the Boss, because the one who was asking her was her husband. The boss himself.


"Did he really come out?" muttered Mr. Boss, who felt that, yesterday-yesterday, Linda had spoken, expressed her intention to quit this job.


"Mas know, where is he?" ask the Boss, to her husband.


"No," replied the short boss.


The boss fell silent, and no longer wondered at her husband.


He was relieved, because Linda was no longer in this store. That means, her husband, will not be able to meet and do something to Linda.
