My husband's Traumaku
Chapter 31. New Life

Two years later ...

"Stop following me! Don't you have a job?!" Linda drove out Bima who had been tailing behind her. The man had clearly shown his affection for Linda.

"Please stay away from me. I'm at work, if you stay like this I'm not good with your other employees!"

"Why should it be bad? You are not the same as the other officers. You're the owner of this boutique."

Linda rolled her eyes lazily. "I'm not the owner of Mr. Bima, I'm just an ordinary employee here!"

Linda decides to go to the city after her affairs and Erik is done. Linda could not continue living in the village because the news spread so quickly. Bad news about him spread widely even in his village. Linda can't do anything. He could not see his neighbor whispering every time he saw him.

He entrusted Aruna to his grandmother and grandfather. Once a week Linda comes home to see her or if it's a holiday Linda picks up Aruna and takes her for a walk to the city.

Not that Linda wanted to separate Aruna from her father, but Linda could not imagine what if Aruna was nurtured by her father. Erik himself did not try to meet Aruna or just ask about her daughter's news. He doesn't care at all.

From a small boarding room and the capital of a sewing machine gifted to Bima, Linda begins her new life. The man still forced to buy a sewing machine even though Linda had repeatedly refused it. The sewing machine was Bima's promise so she had to keep it. Bima also gave Linda a job as a clerk at one of her stores.

During the day Linda works at the store. Then at night when there was no class, Linda sewed clothes. Although now living in the city Linda still open the services of sewing clothes. For Linda, no free time is wasted. It is never too late to start a change.

For two years Linda worked while taking the C package, or school equation to earn her High School diploma. And now Linda can continue college majoring in fashion design.

Everything is going smoothly because Linda's life is now calm and peaceful. No husband asked to serve, no screaming, snapping and swearing directed at him. And certainly the money works intact, not exhausted to pay the car installments. Because of that Linda can also finance her own college.

"Clear ... What matters is that I've given you this boutique!" Bima does not want to lose. This boutique does belong to her, but most of the clothes sold in this place are design and made by Linda.

After Bima found out if Linda majored in fashion design, she immediately opened a boutique. He deliberately gave a container for Linda to channel her interest in the field of fashion.

"What do you think?" Linda showed me her latest dress design sketch. Erik accepted it and judged it.

"Good ... It's even better if you wear it."

Linda laughs. "Aren't you tired of seducing me?"

"Never!"

"Behold, Bim, I am a widow with one child!"

"I don't care."

"I'm also a hick and a hunk."

"I don't care either. My taste is indeed the hick and the village!" Bima chuckles.

"And look like a crazy person?"

"G ... Nevermind Lin. Don't talk about it anymore. I feel guilty for you every time I remember that." Bima hid her face. Every time he talked about it he was embarrassed and unpleasant to Linda.

Linda used to look moody. He lowered his head more often and felt insecure whenever anyone looked at him. But now he looks cheerful, full of vigor and very confident. His body was more organized and full.

From the looks, don't ask again. No more tattered camping clothes or outdated clothes like what he used to wear. Now Linda is able to make or buy whatever clothes she wants.

"But I'm glad to remember Bim, if you hadn't thought of me as a lunatic, you wouldn't have felt guilty and surely we wouldn't have known each other. I must be .... " Linda couldn't continue her sentence.

Just remembering it makes Linda's tears well up. Without Bima, maybe now Linda has become a prostitute because Erik peddled her to striped men to earn money.

"That's Lin ... Don't remember that anymore." Bima could see the sadness on Linda's face. During these two years it was Bima who accompanied Linda through her difficult times. "Aren't you on vacation tomorrow? Do you want to go home to see Aruna?" Bima diverted the conversation.

"Oh ... I forgot to. Runa asked to buy new shoes. I forgot I haven't bought it yet. I have to go now." In a hurry Linda cleared her desk.

"Lin, it's still three in the afternoon. Where are you going?"

"really?" Linda breathed her breath. If he is busy with his work he does not remember the time. "You're freaking me out!"

"You can go tonight. I'll take you."

"No need, later after work I will immediately buy the shoes. The plan this afternoon I will go straight home so I can stay at my father's house. I haven't stayed there in a long time."

"Can I come?"

"What nuts? Stay at dad's house? Of course not! Later my village can be churned if anyone knows I brought a man home!"

Bima laughs. "I just want to take you home after that. I also know that you can't stay at your father's house!"

"No ... No need to thank you! I don't want to trouble you. I'll just ride a motorcycle. This is Bim Sunday night, look for activities do not stick me continue. You wouldn't have a boyfriend if you spent every day with me."

"Some, I already have a boyfriend!"

"Where? You never introduced your boyfriend to me."

"Yes you're my boyfriend!" bima replied with laughter.

"Hiss ... I'm serious Bima! There you go, find a lover!"

"No need, why look all the way if my lover is in sight?!"

"If your taste is indeed a hick and a village at least look for a virgin, not a widow like me?!" Linda is getting upset because it is very difficult to tell Bima to find another woman to be her companion.

"Have you ever heard anyone say that widows are more seductive?" Bima no capoknya tease Linda.

"Male?!!!" peekik Linda's. He did not expect the man who used to look calm and authoritative this turned out to be rancid and ignorant. Another unexpected thing about Bima, it turns out that she is a few years younger than Linda.
