Merlinda (Ranging Back)
Go home


Everyone smiled, as the newlywed couple joined the hotel lobby. There would be no , one who would argue if they were a newly married pair of humans, even if that person did not know them. By looking at the hue of the two humans' cheeks alone, all would be able to guess. They threw smiles at each other, clasped each other and the man repeatedly kissed the back of his hand.


Green leaned his head against Nathan's arm, "I felt like I wanted to be a newlywed again", she said a little whimpering, as she looked at Elin and Daniel from her place.


Nathan smiled hearing that, "we're not like newlyweds every day" he said . Green snorted, "not like that ! ".


" We never had a holiday together" he continued. Face pouting. And Nathan looked pityfully at her after hearing the complaint. And he realized that during the marriage, they did not have time for quality time together, especially when Naina was present. She is busy with her work and Green is busy being a student and also a mother.


" Not now." said Nathan, pausing for a moment, and Green looked up at him, "when ? ".


" I'll find some free time "he said again.heard that, Green sighed instead, "As of any time, you won't have any free time" he said weakly, saying, but it still sounded clear in Nathan's ears. But the man was silent, without daring to convince his wife. The woman was right, she was too busy with her work. But he promised himself the moment, that it would happen.


" Where's Meili ? " ask Viona to everyone. All eyes were now looking for each other, and indeed did not find the woman among them. A few minutes later, they had to go to the airport.


" I'll look into her room" said Elin, pulling her hand from Daniel's grasp, then moving quickly towards Meili's room, but just a few steps she left, Viona called out to him, " let Mami just want ", he said and Elin did not prevent. He let the middle-aged woman through.

" Hey, why are you still here " cried Viona, when she saw her only daughter sitting on the bed, with the door of the room open.


Meili who was staring at the phone screen, was quite surprised by the arrival of Viona, but she had no passion to nag her mother, because she had done that, "have everyone gathered ? " he said slowly, almost very weak.


Viona observed the white face that looked so lethargic, "are you okay ? " he said asking, approached the woman, then touched her forehead.


" I'm not sick mam ? " meili said dodging. He got out of bed, and came to the table, where he put his bag and the things that would accompany him on his way back to Jakarta. For a moment he was silent, when he found a suit near his bag.


Over thirty minutes, as he tidied up all his stuff. He was only pensive when he realized that there was thick clothing on him.


Several times he tried to contact the owner of the clothes, trying to tell him that he had left the item to him, or at least he wanted to ask, what the clothes were.


But everything was off, not a single finger was able to move to write a message sentence for the man. What happened was that he was pensive and stared for a long time at the screen of his flat object. And remember what happened last night.


" Come Mam "take her to Viona, taking the suit with her. He really didn't think of putting the clothes in his suitcase, or maybe leaving them there. All he thought about was how he would tell the owner if the clothes were left with him.


" hemm, everyone was waiting for "Viona's reply, and she glanced at the suit that her daughter was carrying. But he was silent, just staring for a moment, then stepped hand in hand toward everyone's place.


While in the hotel lobby, Amel also just came to join Alfin, "from anywhere ? " reproving Elin, the daughter-in-law of the two Vernandes families smiled brightly, revealing a large glass of Kiwi Juice with a lump of ice cubes inside.


" To be honest I started to get nauseous, smelling the juice ", Green said. And Elin nodded. Of course, for a few days in Bali, Amel can not be separated from the drink. Wherever he was, eating the drink would be with him.


" Look at this" said Alfin, showing a two-liter flask.


Green and Elin were mired, "what is Kiwi juice ? " ask Elin and Alfin nodded. While Amel laughed, "it was stock during the trip later" he said proudly.


" Is it not sour?, just imagine my saliva has coagulated" said Elin while holding her face.


Amel shook his head, "very refreshing" he said lightly.


" It looks like you'll have to name your son Kiwi later on" Green chirped.


Amel was silent for a moment, "not bad", he said after thinking about Green's unimportant advice, "it even sounded funny.


" Yes funny, if only his friend did not casually add the letter L at the end of his name ", Green replied. Spontaneously everyone chuckled at hearing that, including Amel himself," Kiwil "he said.


" You look better Mel" said Elin, Amel nodding, "thanks to this "reply, with a large glass in his hand. Elin shuddered at that, his face expands to imagine the sour taste of the Kiwi fruit, but Elin did not dismiss, since Amel drank the juice of the fruit, the situation is much better. His face was much brighter and more vibrant.


" You look different too "the girl chirped. Green nodded, smiling, "when did you like to wear a skirt like this" he added, noting the green umbrella skirt hanging from the avocado that Elin was wearing.


He approached Elin, leaned a little, saw that Amel also leaned in" Was last night still sick ? " ask slowly.


" No longer "reflex Elin replied. As a result the juice in Amel's mouth, squirt instantly, while Green again chuckled, without caring his voice would disturb other guests.


" Good ? " asked Amel, with a puff of his lips holding back laughter.


" Hemm." replied Elin nodded, then she also laughed.


Everyone stared in surprise at them, especially seeing Green laughing out loud, holding his stomach.


As for Nathan, Alfin only stared for a moment. Seeing the sight of the three women laughing, was no longer a surprise to them.


Daniel, who had just finished taking Reza's call, approached his wife. " What's wrong, honey ? " tanyanya wonder. A moment of laughter was silent, then Amel and Green's eyes met, and they began to laugh again.


" It's okay dear "replies Elin, while raising her eyes at Green and Amel, who are now trying to make their mouths closed, but each look at Daniel, then look at Elin again. The two women immediately fell.


" Mel remembers Mel, you were pregnant again "elin said intentionally, and managed to make the woman immediately close her mouth, although half-dead she held back from being affected by Green's laughter.


" Hey what's going on ? " ask Viona who re-joined Meili, "your voice is heard up" she told the three women.


" it must be Green's voice that Mam heard the most" said Elin and Viona nodded.


" let's go, we should've left by now "let Viona say, while looking at the grooji in her hand. Then it moved quickly towards where the middle-aged man and woman gathered on the sofa.


Elin walked over to Meili who had been silent since, "Hey, are you sick ? " sanyanya. The woman smiled blandly and shook her head.


" Are you sure ? " ask once more, and Meili nodded. But Elin still didn't stop staring at him, she wanted to ask him back, but stopped.


" Did Jerry accidentally leave his suit ? " tap Green, looking at the thick clothes Meili had on her arm. Amel saw, and so did Elin, even the woman who carried the thing.


" It looks like it's "Said Amel, "let's try ? " limpal Elin, with his forehead slightly wrinkled.


" Let Amel miss, just hug his shirt "sut Amel laughed, and Green laughs, "like the ancients" he said.


While the one carrying the thing was silent, and kept looking at the clothes, and occasionally took a slow breath. And Elin didn't miss that.


" Papa Daniel "scoffs Green's daughter who has just come with her nanny.


" I almost forgot my own daughter" Green said, after realizing her daughter had not been around, and she had Elin's index finger landed on her forehead, "foolish fool" said Elin, and Green just laughed grimly, "i was joking" he said.


" Where are we going, papa ? " ask Naina who is already in Daniel's arms.


" Where are we going Mama ? "


" We want to go to. "said Elin hanging, "want to go home "so on again, instead of happy little girl's face even frown, "how come home "he said plain.


" Yes have to go home, Daddy Naina, Daddy and Papa have to work" said Daniel explained, "but later we come again papa, Naina likes to play sea water ".


" Hmm, we'll go on vacation again, okay "


" Okay papa ".


" Where are we now ? "


" Pulaaaaaang " shouted Naina, pulling out a row of milk teeth and small dimples on her lip line.
