Aunt Melinda

Who's Calling?

Linda arrived home at ten in the evening. He turned off his motor, as soon as he arrived in front of the house.

Cleks!

Door opens. Appear Ferry from inside the house. "Here Deck," pinta Ferry, who helps Linda to put her motorcycle into the house.

Linda handed the motorcycle to her husband. He himself, walking in the back, to get inside the house.

"Where is Mas, sleeping?" ask Linda, who did not see her son.

"Yes. Just went to bed. Yesterday, I ate. Nanyain You too," replied Ferry, telling Linda, with Erli's condition.

Moments later, "Linda took a bath, Mas" said Linda, after looking out of her son's room.

Ferry just nodded. He's preparing food for his wife, knowing that Linda must be hungry after work overtime tonight.

After a while, Linda came out of the bathroom. She saw her husband sitting waiting for her at the table.

"Mas haven't eaten yet?" ask Linda, who saw if the food on the table is still a lot. And just reduced a little.

That means, only Erli had just eaten the food.

"Waitfully wait for your Deck" Ferry replied with a smile. Seeing Linda's state that looks fresher because she just finished bathing.

Finally, Linda sat on the seat that was in front of Ferry. She took her husband's plate, then filled it with rice, vegetables and side dishes. After that, it was handed over to her husband.

"It's Mas."

Smiling and nodding his head, Ferry received the plate.

"Thank you Dek" said Ferry after receiving his plate.

Linda nodded as well. Then she filled her own plate, to join her husband's dinner as well.

A quarter of an hour later. Both of them finished cleaning their tableware.

And now, the two of them were getting ready for bed. The clock is already pointing towards the number eleven. It's almost midnight.

*****

Tok tok!

"Ma... Mama, Papa! Huhuhuhoo..."

In the middle of the night, Erli woke up crying. He came out of the room and knocked on the door of his mother and father.

Tok tok!

Tok tok!

Cleks!

The door opens the papa. "Honey. Why?" tanya Ferry, who woke up from her sleep. He certainly felt surprised by Erli's call at midnight.

Linda also woke up. Now, she was standing next to her husband, who was asking him her son, Erli.

"Mama... Huhuhuhoo..."

Erli turned to his mother. And finally, Linda was the one who was holding her child so as not to cry anymore.

Now, the three of them were sitting in the guest chair, with Erli still in a state of unwillingness.

"Maybe he's dreaming" Ferry said, guessing what happened to his son.

"Yes. It could be so Mas," Linda said.

But the two did not also ask Erli. They let Erli who was still not fully finished cry.

After a while later, Erli seemed to start to calm down. He was no longer as excited as before. Only occasionally still heard, but not se_intens earlier.

"What dream?" li asked, at a time when he felt that his son could be spoken to.

"Hiks... That's Ma. A_there's a black guy, big but Erli doesn't know who. That guy was chasing after Erli Ma. Take Erli away. Hix... Erli did not want to go Ma," replied Erli, who still occasionally sounded his sobbing.

Now Linda and Ferry feel confident that, the child was having a bad dream. That's why he's scared like this.

"It was Erli's just a dream."

Erli nodded quickly. She was so happy to be able to sleep with her mom and dad tonight.

That black and big fellow, would definitely never dare to come again to his dream. Because there is a mother and her father who will take care of her during sleep.

Such was the thought that was in Erli's heart.

****

In the morning, Erli did not want to come with his papa to the rice mill.

"But, Mama has to work dear," said Linda, trying to give understanding to her son.

"But Erli bored Ma."

Both Linda and Ferry became confused themselves, facing their unusual behavior like this.

"Here you go, Erli comes with Papa. And mom went to work. Later, Papa takes Erli to the sewage house. How Honey?" ask Ferry about the boy. With the intention to make Erli break away from his mother, who must immediately go to work.

"It's just Pa?" asked Erli, who made sure that his papa's words were not a lie.

"Yes-yes. I'm not lying to you Papa."

"Yeee. Erli wants to play the same doll." It seems Erli was feeling very happy. Because soon we'll be going to his covert house.

That means, he can play together with small children around his Sewba house as well.

"Sir.. It seems Erli needs a friend. How about..."

"Yes..."

"Hehehe... Is it okay, Dek? Erli has started Kindergarten school next year as well. He's grown up. It's time to have a new adek" Ferry said in a whisper. To tell his wife.

But it seemed that Linda was not interested, with the conversation that her husband had said. He looked indifferent, and immediately moved Erli from his carrier to Ferry.

"Then Linda left first. The hunt is jammed in the street" Linda said after Erli moved on with her husband.

After saying goodbye to Erli, Linda kissed her husband's hand, then waved at the two. Erli and Ferry.

Shortly thereafter, Linda took out her motorcycle, to go to her workplace.

Because the more daylight he departs from home, the streets will be more crowded and also jammed.

He will be late for work today.

*****

At home, Ferry was also getting ready with Erli. He's already contacted Danang, if Erli wants to play there.

..."Yes Mas. And also at home. Graduation is still a week away." ...

That's how Danang answered the phone. Ferry is also more expensive. He left his son in his home.

"Your darling!" invite Ferry, by carrying a bag for Erli's needs as usual.

"To the cesspool is Pa. To Danang's house?" ask Erli to make sure.

Ferry nodded at the question asked by his son. And after seeing her papa nod, Erli exclaimed happily.

"Horeee!"

"Snang.. ngeng.. ngeng!"

Erli also mimics the sound of a motorbike engine, just like the dangdut song that is again viral.

"Haha... Adek-adek," said Ferry with a good laugh. Because seeing the behavior of his worried son.

Both are on the bike. The engine motor is also turned on. But suddenly, Ferry's cell phone rang.

..."Yes hello!" ...

..."Mas Ferry's. Can Ferry help me now? it's important Mas."...

Ferry frowned, hearing a question asked by the person who was calling him this morning.
