About Taste

Ma'am Tami, told me a lot about the foreman, to Linda. From family life, to his career, so that he became a foreman in a wooden warehouse and also a production warehouse next door.

"But I don't know Lin, how he behaves in the room" said Tami, who could not elaborate, so his wife was the foreman leaving.

Ma'am Tami thinks that, the departure of his wife, may not only occur because of factors and the influence of his ex-girlfriend alone.

But there are other things, which are often the talk of people, around him. That's the men, the officers in this wooden warehouse.

"What do you mean, Mama?" linda asked, with a confused face.

Linda did not understand, which direction the conversation was intended by Mbak Tami earlier.

"The stamina of the foreman is doubtful" whispered Tami, telling Linda about the shortcomings of the foreman.

Linda scratched her non-itchy ears. He did not understand very well, what was said by mbak Linda earlier, which about stamina is in doubt.

"You don't know what I mean by Lin?" mama Tami asked, when she saw Linda who was like a confused person.

Linda did not answer. He just grimaced, because he did not know, what was said by mbak Tami. He doesn't understand yet.

Finally, Tami asks Linda to get closer to her. And in a whisper, Tami explained to Linda, about stamina earlier.

"Well!"

Linda, surprised by what she just heard. "Something is so bad?" ask Linda, who was curious about what she heard.

Tami's mom nodded a few times. "It's just the talk of Lin's people. When it comes to the truth, only the foreman and his wife know. Are you trying to prove it?" ask Ma'am Tami, tease Linda.

"Try what?" ask Linda plain.

"That's... try... What is it? emhhh.. try and want to prove yourself that, the foreman is well what letoi in a short time."

Linda was confused by what Linda said.

Tami's mother was confused, had to say what, to explain to Linda, who was inexperienced.

Understandably, just graduated High School. And the old High School children, from the village as well, are not the same as children today, with all the technological sophistication that can access anything, needed and needed.

Finally, Tami explained to Linda, clearly, about that, which they were talking about.

And Linda, can only nod, without being able to say anything, about a relationship that she has never known and felt as well.

"Actually, the foreman was good Lin. But. well, do not know also if it concerns the arena of the boxing ring they both," said mbak Tami, ending his story about the foreman.

Linda, who had never been married, and was in contact with the opposite sex directly and real, could only imagine, just like she usually did.

'Means, all this time I've never had a husband and wife relationship, right? It's not intimate, is it?' ask Linda, for herself.

Although Linda had been doing something to herself, it was not something that could be said to be an intimate relationship, between a man and a woman.

Linda knows, if what she did with the teacher, the Boss, and also the first man, who had touched his personal area, was only a mere touch of hand.

And her fear all along, was not worth it, if she had to be afraid of going through a relationship, or a plan to get married.

In Linda's heart, there's a fear that she's no longer a virgin, because of the people who touched her.

Linda fears this, which makes her uncomfortable and accepts every offer from men, who want to make two girlfriends, or wives.

Linda has never been in a relationship. She always refuses her boyfriend, if anyone shoots her.

Not because Linda is arrogant, just like they, Linda's friends, talk about. But this was only because of Linda's own fears, and her mental readiness.

'I have to find the truth about everything I've been through. Although I can't possibly talk about this with anyone, at least, I can overcome my own fears.'

Linda is determined to be able to rise, and find out, what she wants, from all the doubts, worries and misgivings that have been in her own heart all this time.

'I must overcome my own fears, so that I can move forward, and not stop because of the past.'

That's how Linda finally decided. He must be able to accept reality, and also try to eliminate the fear and anxiety that is in his own heart.

*****

A month ago, Linda worked in the wood shed. He has also learned a lot, with Mbak Tami, about what has become his duty.

And for almost a month also, the foreman more often come to this wooden warehouse, if in the production warehouse is not much work.

But Linda does not have any intention, to be closer to the foreman.

Not because of age or physical factors alone, but this is just a taste, from what Linda feels.

Although in fact, the foreman was impressed to approach Linda, and often brought food, but Linda only responded with ordinary.

Just like his other friends too.

"You're not interested in Lin, same foreman?" tami asked, one day.

"Emhhh... How about Ma'am? Linda... Linda didn't want to, either" replied Linda, who felt bad, because she had to say what she felt to Tami's mother.

"Why not sreg? Do you have a boyfriend?" tami Ma'am, who wants to know a lot.

"No, Ma'am. But, for now... Me, I haven't had a thought."

Linda replied disjointedly, because it was also difficult for her to say something she did not like.

"Oh, that's okay. That's your right. If it's uncomfortable, don't."

Ma'am Tami so know, if Linda indeed has no taste with the foreman. He also no longer wondered, and said nothing more, after Linda answered his question earlier.

"Oh yes Ma'am. It's a road letter, for wood that's gonna be out in an hour. I made it first, because, I'm allowed to go out for a while, go to my sister's school. Representative of the father."

"Oh yeah, I forgot Lin. Careful yeah!" linda replied, giving a message.

Linda simply nodded, and immediately walked towards the outside of the wooden shed.

Today, Linda's permission to leave for a little while, because there's a report, for her sister's odd semester.

His father Linda, asked him to represent her, to school, to receive the report.

And by the time Linda got into the village transport, there was someone, who had been very noticed by Linda. Even though that person, never noticed it.
