The Inappropriate Taste

Chapter 18 - Bad News

"Lin, I have something to say to you." That's the line I said when Linda was drying clothes.

Ririn's mom and her husband may still be engrossed in the room and Roby hasn't come home from work yet. Maybe meet Yulia first. It's a good opportunity for me to tell all of Roby's rottenness to her.

"What are you talking about, Mas? If it is not important to let you go home instead of getting in trouble again, I will also be the one who will be affected," Linda said in an indifferent tone. He didn't even see me standing next to him.

"It's important, Lin. Roby cheated on Yulia, our college friend."

Hearing my words, Linda immediately stopped her activities.

"You lied, right?"

"I'm not lying. I saw Yulia and Roby eating at an expensive cafe. If you don't believe me, look at this." I pulled out my phone and showed a picture of Roby and Yulia eating earlier.

Linda's eyes immediately wet upon seeing it. I really can't bear it, but I can't see Linda living suffering with all of Roby's lies either.

"Lin, tomorrow they're going for a walk. You see, Roby's going to leave in a neat and fragrant shirt."

"Mas, you better go home. Sorry, I don't have time to talk to you." Linda immediately left me with tears streaming down her cheeks.

I can only breathe. Why is Linda acting like this? Is it so dependent on Roby that he keeps her quiet when he finds out Roby is cheating? If I have to convey my heart first, then he will want to part with Roby. But if I do that, then Linda's name will be ruined. Roby will definitely be flirting with everyone that Linda is having an affair. No, I can't let that happen.

The next day, sure. I saw Roby go off on his bike in very neat clothes. Linda who was drying clothes could only see it without speaking a word. While Dion stood beside Roby while continuing to look at him. I know what the boy wants. He wished for once that Roby would say 'Come, son. We ride a motorcycle around the village'. But what power, Roby did not understand the existence of Dion. He even pushed Dion away from his bike.

But wait a minute. I saw Linda's hand clenching tightly upon seeing the incident. He must have felt very emotional but could not express it.

Finished drying clothes, I heard Sister Ririn calling Linda in a rather shrill voice. Hurry him to the back.

I also went back to hear what Mak attached said to Linda. Just be careful if he hurts my Lindaku.

"Lin, buy chicken dong. Bosen really every day eat vegetables with doang fish. That bell should be eating nutritious food, dong. 'Kan Roby has given you more money. You have the money!"

"Sorry, Ma'am. Money is only for buying fish. Still mending, Ma'am. We used to eat only tofu and tempeh."

"You want to talk to me, yeah. Anyway I don't want to know! You buy chicken now! Cook well, otherwise you're out of the house."

"Yes, Mother. I buy now. You can take care of Dela and Dion."

"What's? It's good that you're rumbling. Bring dong, that's your son. I'm going to sleep!"

"Yes, Ma'am. I'll go first."

God, how could Ms. Ririn have Linda go shopping with two children. Every day I see Linda looking after her son. But now, he refused to take care of Linda's son, who was still his niece.

I'd love to drive her. What the neighbors said. Linda, may you come to your senses and leave your husband. He doesn't deserve you. Moreover, her brother only uses your strength. Cih, you crazy family. Not to mention that until Roby's mother came, the house could be a gathering place for selfish people who have no heart.
