Aunt Melinda

The Strange Taste

Ferry pressed the green button, to connect a phone call from mbak Nana.

..."Mas, he said the work accident was yesterday afternoon?"...

Mbak Nana immediately asked Ferry, about the incident that befell his affair.

Fortunately, Ferry did not make the most of his speaker phone. So Linda won't be able to hear Nana's voice.

..."Yes, Sister Nana. Where's the news from?"...

..."Of these milling people Mas. I'm in the rice mill now."...

..."Oh. emhhh, the rice that Nana hadn't picked up yesterday, was near the chair. My place is that! Ask the same people who are there just make bring it to the top of the motorbike."...

..."It's okay, Mas. Tomorrow I'll take it. If Mas Fery is healthy."...

..."But this is old Ma'am. I have to rest until my feet and hands can be moved again freely."...

..."Is it bad, Mas?"...

Mbak Nana immediately felt shocked, when she heard the words spoken by Ferry. If he can't sell rice for a long time.

..."Pretty Mbak. Maybe a month or two to rest. Must be a lot of walking exercises too."...

..."Oh. geez. What a pity, Mas! Can I come visit, right? I want to see Ferry."...

..."Thank you Ma'am. Don't bother. Just pray, hopefully I can be healthy quickly and can walk again."...

..."Yes Mas. That's for sure. Continue... emhhh, if I miss and miss how Mas?"...

..."Yeah-yeah, just take it. Ask for help from someone who is there!"...

I heard a long breath from across. Mbak Nana understood by the intent of the code given Ferry. With answers that don't match the question, that means, there's someone nearby Ferry right now.

..."Yes, yes, then. Hope you get well soon!"...

..."Yes, Ms. Nana. Thank you."...

Click!

Ferry hung up on her phone call. He saw how Linda was looking towards him.

"Why Deck?" tanya Ferry, who saw how his wife was looking at him.

"It's okay, Mas. Emhhhh.beautiful just thought that, Linda should come to the rice mill. To get things done, so that Mas Ferry can rest in peace."

Linda paused her sentence for a bit, then resumed her sentence.

"Let me focus on that. Let's not think about the rice and the unfinished orders of the buyers."

"Not Deck. Yesterday I asked for help, and also advised one of the mill workers. To help clean up," Ferry said quickly.

Of course he didn't want Linda to come to the rice mill.

Besides because Ferry does not want if Linda to know the truth about Mbak Nana. He also did not want if there were rice mill workers, the average of which was men.

She was worried that Linda would be seduced by these people.

"Oh..."

Linda's mouth is just breaking. She didn't know if there was something her husband was hiding.

*****

At the factory, about ten in the morning.

Mr. Rudi was angry at all his supervisors and subordinate leaders. He's not in the mood from morning. Upon learning that, Linda did not enter work today.

"This is why SPK is such a thing? Where is the usual production target?"

His tone was loud and clearly visible if he was emotional, making everyone lowered their head. No one dared to answer and answer the words spoken by Mr. Rudi.

"Linda's work is usually true. Try examples from the report as well as its performance!"

Mr. Rudi suggested to the supervisors and leaders, to learn as Linda did.

Linda is a new supervisor. In fact, when he became a leader, he also did not know anything.

But it turns out, all the work and performance so far deserves a thumbs up. Tidy, and can be used as an example for other leaders and supervisors.

Although some people think that he can't do anything. It was just for field work. If just to make a report, Linda can still do it.

"Sir. Later, if there is no production target, can I apply for overtime?" ask one of the supervisors, when Mr. Rudi is no longer angry.

"What did you say? Not yet tried, ask for a sheet!" Mr. Rudi was angry again. His emotions were stirred again.

"Report at two. If there are no reports, do not expect any overtime for this week and also next week!"

After saying so, Rudi shook his hand, gesturing his men to leave his room.

"Bright..."

Mr. Rudi gave a rough breath. He did not think too, why suddenly he could not control his emotions.

In fact, all this time he was famous as a manager who rarely angry. He can find many solutions, from every problem faced by his men.

But this morning, when she heard the news that Linda wasn't going to work, she suddenly became in a bad mood.

Tut tut tut!

Mr. Rudi pressed Linda's phone number. He wanted to restore his mood, even if only by listening to Linda's voice.

Tut tut tut!

Phone call from him, not connected yet. Linda didn't pick it up right away.

Click!

"Hufhhhhhhhhhh..."

Mr. Rudi turned off the phone call that Linda hadn't picked up. He also took a deep breath, when he realized that everything he was feeling right now had something to do with Linda.

'So much influence Linda has on the feelings that are in my heart.' Mr. Rudi said.

Now, he wants to try to get back to Linda.

Tut tut tut!

Tut tut tut!

..."Yes hello!" ...

Mr. Rudi was shocked, when he heard the voice of the person who received the call from him.

..."Excuse me. I want to talk to Linda. Supervisor Melinda." ...

Mr. Rudi knew that the one who received this call was her husband Linda. That is why, he explained and mentioned Linda's full name.

..."He's going shopping. Is there anything I can help you with? I'm her husband Melinda."...

..."Oh, so it is! Then I'll call you later." ...

..."Oh yeah it's okay."...

..."Thank you."...

..."You welcome."...

Click!

"Well..."

Mr. Rudi again threw a rough breath. He really didn't know what he was feeling right now. Her mood was completely destroyed. When she didn't see Linda today.

Now, he's trying to contact Komarudin sir. His friends and co-workers know very well how he has been doing all this time.

Tut tut tut!

..."Hello, Mr. Rudi. What happened early in the morning to call me?" ...

..."Hiya! Can you help me?" ...

..."What is it?" ...

Mr. Rudi finally told about his own current state. She herself had no idea what she was really feeling for Linda. So that he can be like this.

..."This is because Mr. Rudi kangen right?" ...

..."I don't know." ...
