Sleeping Rooster

20. Floral

Linda daydreams while passing through the supermarket which for her is just an unforgettable memory. Dion sees Linda's gloomy face immediately asking what happened.

"Linda, you're not papa, are you? Why the moody."

"I don't know how to" Linda said.

Dion is still quiet about Linda's situation right now. He knows that Linda is now devastated by Ardan.

Soon they reached Linda's house.

"Thank you" Linda said, but she couldn't open Dion's car door.

"Linda." call Dion next to him.

Linda's face turned towards Dion.

"If there's anything to tell me. I'm ready to listen to him. I know you must have had some great memories with him. Either it's in the parking lot and the supermarket. I know that because when we passed that place your face turned moody." replied Dion at length.

Dion approached Linda who was next to him. Linda looked nervous as Dion's body arrived to approach her. Dion then opens the car door for Linda.

"Remember if anything immediately tell me yes." Dion said before Linda left.

Linda came out and closed Dion's car door. Linda immediately left the courtyard and entered her house.

Dion returns to drive his car out of Linda's residence.

Linda saw her mother washing dirty dishes in the kitchen. Linda then hugged her mother from behind.

"Eh, my mom's son has come home." said his mom while still washing dirty dishes.

"Ma, I'm tired." lamented Linda.

"Judah you will sleep there soon so that it is better." replied his mother.

"But then mom can get tired if I don't help her."

"Mama's been good really.you don't have to worry about your health."

"Let me help my mom. Let me sweep the top floor."

"As far as you go. Someone sent flowers for you. But my mom doesn't know who sent her. Mama put it on your study table."

"Let me see, now I want to help you."

"Would you change your clothes?" ask mama.

"This uniform tomorrow will not be worn by ma. So it's not papa if it's dirty it can be washed."

His mother said what her son said. Linda then searches for the whereabouts of the broom and sweeps her room as well as her parents' room. He accidentally saw a bouquet of flowers on his study table. Linda has not touched it yet. He continued to clean the second floor of his house.

Once it feels clean enough, Linda rests in her living room. He laid his body on the large sofa in his living room. Unconscious, he slept on his big sofa.

Linda woke up with messy hair. Looking around, she was already in her own room.

"Papa must have moved me here." - grumbled.

He looked at the clock next to his bed and the time showed it at 5 p.m. Turns out Linda just took a little nap. He got up and immediately took a shower and changed his clothes. While rubbing his hair, he caught a bouquet of flowers that he still had not held at the time.

Linda looked then kissed him. The distinctive aroma of the flower can be felt on its nose. Unknowingly, a letter fell from the bouquet.

Linda put the bouquet back on her desk and picked up a letter that had no return address except her name at the end of the letter.

...****************...

"This is what you want Ardan to do. I won't come back with my husband even if he hurts me?!!"

Seeing the face and some body marks from her husband made Ardan have to think twice to tell Lina to go home.

He still hurts his friend. Ardan can no longer afford to tell Lina to come home. However, her relationship with Linda will be more tenuous.

"Trus now you want what?" ask Ardan.

"Married me Ardan, I'll fight for divorce from Yoga mas."

Ardan was shocked by Lina's statement. He couldn't grant Lina's request.

"Sorry Lina, the cave can't."

"Because of your pain, right? I'll take care of you until I'm healed. Even if God wills otherwise I will be sincere about your departure. But I want to feel happiness with my partner even if it takes a little time."

Ardan was speechless with Lina. What made him obsessed with her. It's not like Ardan said he didn't love her.

"Gua doesn't love you."

"Please Ardan don't say that."

"What makes you obsessed with caves while caves don't love you."

"I love, I love, I want to have you all. I want to live with you."

"Please don't obsess over me. My heart is for Linda. I want you to also be able to find a good man to you."

"I beg Ardan to marry me." Pinta Lina once again.

"Sorry cave can't."

Tear drops fell from Lina's eye patch. Slowly the droplet land will shed tears. Lina brushed away the flowing tears.

"What makes you like Linda?" ask Lina.

Ardan smiled at Linda who was dancing in her brain and said.

"Don't ask me what makes me like Linda but ask why Linda?. You know when she took care of me like a mother, when she accompanied me like a friend, when she hugged me like a lover. I can feel the meaning of the affection of a Linda. Can feel the meaning of waiting and the pleasure I did not get when I was a child. Now I got it from Linda."

"I have to go Ardan." said Lina out of Ardan's room room in the care.

It turns out you still don't consider myself your lover. God still has people who like me more than Ardan likes Linda. Tear drops flowed back from Linda's eye patch and she immediately left the hospital.

...****************...

Meet me at the moon cafe at 4 p.m

^^^For you, Linda.^^^

The letter told him to go to the moon cafe. Linda was astonished at who sent her a bouquet of flowers.

In the small letter there was no sender. After reading the letter, Linda rushed down to eat because her stomach had begun to rumble.

When Linda had gone to eat, there was a phone ring from an unknown person calling her. Calling Linda many times but Linda never brought her phone to the dinner table because it was not polite. His phone kept shaking but no one picked it up.

...****************...

Bu Farda and Mr. Herman are still praying with Ardan's situation worsening. They waited in the waiting room with a feeling of worry.

"Sir, why hasn't the doctor come out yet?" ask Bu Farda.

"Relax mom, the doctor is still checking Ardan" said Mr. Herman to calm his wife.
