There's No Certainty

"Says..."

"Yes Mas. After all, I miss it."

Ma'am Nana cut out Ferry's unfinished sentence. He didn't want it, Ferry thought he was lying about the message he sent yesterday.

"But, there's..."

"Yes. My husband is home. But, he was out for a while with his friend really," said Nana again, smiling.

He wouldn't want Ferry to be anxious. For fear of being caught by her husband, who is not currently sailing.

But because of the longing that he could not resist, finally mbak Nana desperately came to this rice mill. To meet with Ferry. There is a chance to get out of the house. When her husband was gone.

"Erli didn't come, did he?" tanya Mbak Nana, who did not see the whereabouts of Erli near Ferry.

"There's in his house. He didn't want to come" Ferry replied, telling Nana.

"Well, it's actually a coincidence. But, unfortunately..."

Mbak Nana did not continue his sentence, because there are people who come to buy Ferry rice.

"Mas. I pesen two sacks of rice. Please bring it outside. On the motorbike parked near the door," the person said, telling Ferry, with the order he placed.

"Yes Mom. Just a minute!"

Ferry prepared two sacks of rice ordered by the mothers.

"Before Nana Ma'am," said Ferry, carrying a sack of rice. The other one, he'll take it later.

Mbak Nana saw and noticed how Ferry lifted the sack of rice. It is clear, if Mbak Nana admired the figure she missed so much.

In fact, her own husband, who incidentally is a sailor, must also have a sturdy and muscular body.

But somehow, he was interested in the figure of Ferry. Which he thinks is more manly and also charismatic.

Nana smiled again, looking at Ferry who went back inside, to take one more sack of rice. Because these mothers, they ordered two sacks of rice on him.

After a while, Ferry was back. He also held three pieces of sack money, from two bags of rice.

"How much do you want for Nana?" tanya Ferry, who had not heard the order wanted by mbak Nana.

"Well, here's the tone, why?"

Mbak Nana felt a little disappointed, with the question that Ferry asked her. The question is like driving his existence out in front of Ferry.

In fact, he still wants to linger near the Ferry today.

"No. Not so Mbak Nana. Me, I just want to prepare. Let's not rush, if later Ma'am Nana wants to go home." Ferry quickly explained, about the meaning of the question.

He doesn't want to if Nana will be offended. With what he asked.

But that's not what he meant. He just wanted to prepare the rice ordered by Mbak Nana. Because from now on, Mbak Nana did not say how much to buy rice sacks or how many kilos.

"Hehehe. It's not okay. I understand," said mbak Nana, smiling made as sweet as possible.

"I don't actually want to buy rice. Just want to give a gift to Erli."

"Eh, make it to Ferry too. Hehe..."

"It's Mas. Just ordinary souvenirs. I hope you like." Ma'am Nana smiled, handing over the paper bag to Ferry.

"Kok bothered to bring souvenirs by all Mbak Nana. This, must be expensive," said Ferry, when he saw the contents of the paper bag handed to him.

The paper bag, containing several chocolate bars, is typical from abroad. There are also some fruit sweets, which are packaged in such a way that they attract the look.

Ferry knows if, souvenirs like this can rarely be found in Indonesia. Perhaps, this was a gift from her husband, who had just returned from sailing.

Of course, the sail is also more abroad there. Therefore, her husband Mbak Nana rarely went home. Because the task of shipping is more on board ships. Sailing from one port to another. To various countries.

At Linda's mother's house.

Danang is preparing one more application file, which he will bring to apply for a job to another company.

He did not want to just be able to stay silent, and rely on his sister, Linda.

Moreover, now there is a new factory construction also in the area. There are not many employees working there. So, Danang wants to get a job that has nothing to do with her brother.

He did not want, if there were any mistakes or problems ahead, to drag down his brother's good name as well.

"What is Nang?" asked his father, when he saw the boy was busy himself.

Erli was in the neighbor's house. Played with some of his peers in the house. So, Linda's father was only at home, asking her granddaughter to come home later.

Moreover, now Erli was getting bigger. Not much trouble for him. If you are in this house.

"It's Sir. Make a job application letter," Danang replied, while putting some copy paper into a large brown envelope.

"Lho, haven't you been nitiping into your mom huh?"

"Yes Sir. But, this is somewhere else. Not in Linda's factory either" Danang said. Because he knew what the question was about his father.

"Why? You weren't accepted at your Mommy's factory, were you?" ask her father again, suspiciously.

"It's not so, sir. It's just a backup. At the factory, Ms. Linda is still waiting for a call as well" Danang replied, explaining to her father.

"Oh..."

Linda's father, just smashed her mouth. Although he does not know how the job application procedure, at least if you still have to wait, it would be better if you get a job that can be directly accepted.

"Ngapain tired of looking for another job Nang? Waiting for you that's all why!"

From the direction of the kitchen, her mother came to hear the conversation made by her son and husband.

"It's okay to Buk! His name is also this business" said Danang, who disagreed with what his mother said.

"It must have been received at the factory where your mother Nang. Definitely!"

Linda's mother was still determined to believe that her son, Linda, would be able to include her sister to work for the company.

"Already Mom. It'sit's okay. There is no harm if Danang tried it," said his father Linda, mediating the conversation of the three of them.

"Hemmm."

Linda's mother simply responded with a normal. Then it passed out of the house. He wanted to go to the stall, to find some kitchen necessities that had run out.
