Should I Joke (Again)

01. Authorised

Today is exactly one year I hold the status of widow for the second time. Who would have thought that my fate would be a widow even for the second time at such a young age. But to lament fate is useless, is not the show must go on.

After cleaning the makeup and spraying perfume, I went down to the dining room. There was my father, mother, and brother waiting for me for breakfast.

"Ma ma'am, pa." I said to my parents while kissing their cheeks. They returned my kisses with a smile.

"Sir" I said hello to my brother, the only one who had spread strawberry jam on his bread.

"August, rey. You have a plan today with your friend? " ask Brother Daniar.

"But don't know Kak, today will close the month as usual to complete the monthly report. Why brother? " renita answered, putting pieces of fruit in her mouth.

"Who the hell, maybe you pass in front of the station brother want to tipped sweet martabak."

"Oh, it will be done. If he doesn't come home last night."

"Thank you my dear" the pregnant woman replied with a big smile revealing her row of white teeth.

"Let you buy it, pity your sister if it's still turning around. That's not his office."

"But Daniar wants Rei to buy you."

"Emang if papa who bought why, afraid of the utun ileran, hahaha" laughed Mr. Fauzi followed by mama and Rei.

"Oh papa, can you. But hehehe" too"

"You're a tea habit, why don't you pick Fani's father as well as the line with his office." Mama refuted

"But the baby wants the tantenya who bought it, itung - itung payday tract. Isn't it Rei?"

"Yes-iya, but you can still do it. Uh, uh, Rei's gonna go to the room and get a bag."

After that the atmosphere in the dining room again deserted only the friction of spoons and plates were heard.

"Ma, pa, Rei left first yes, still want to fill up the gas first." Rei kissed the hands and cheeks of his parents.

"Be careful on the road, don't speed." Mama said

"Yes, ma."

"Don't forget to read the prayer to be safe until the destination and return home."

"get ready, and" Rei replied respectfully

"You are, say you are a parent" Papa tegur while shaking his head at the behavior of his youngest child.

"Rei, if you meet a guy on the street ngajak acquaintance is accepted yes, let's not single again, hehe" Goda kak Daniar welcomed the plotting of people around him.

"So, I don't want to get married anymore."

"Have not been horrified, your sister does not like your temptations" said the mother.

"Assalamualaikum" Renita passed after greeting.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied the entire house.

€€€€

"Hi, has Rei been absent?" arini asked shortly after putting her bag in her cubicle.

"Udah was with Rio and Miko. You been?" and answered with a nod of Arini's head.

After that they entered the room they worked in the teller section of a Government Bank in the city.

The lunch hour arrived, now it was Renita's turn to be there while her two friends and fellow tellers were preparing to go to the cafeteria.

"Rei, what do you want? I want an ishoma first" Arini stood near Rei.

"Buy a hodgepodge yes, same iced tea." replied Renita while serving customers.

"Okay, we go first. Come Sin" take Arini to Sinta.

"yuk, first yes Rei" said Sinta. They also went to the office cafeteria.

"Mother, here's the money already in. Mother's balance is now 800 thousand rupiah. Thank you" Renita showed the savings book to her customers.

"Yes, mom. Thanks yeah"

"Sama-sama's mother"

And time rolled, showing that two noon was less, and now it was Renita's turn to perform Ishoma.

After performing the service, Renita returned to her workplace. While passing through her cubicle, Renita was surprised to see a parcel on her desk.

When she saw an OB passing by, Renita stopped her. Intended to ask may know who the sender is.

"Mas, that's who it is. As I recall, there was a package." asked Renita

"Oh, that was Miko who told me. He said take it from his friend to mbak." replied the OB.

"Oh, how did Miko not say anything just now when I met at Musholla."

"Lacking to know mbak, it was just told to put it on the table mbak Rei aja."

"Yes, thank you."

"Sama-sama mbak, let me go back first."

"Yes"

Renita also started calling out no-strings. While serving customers, Renita and other Tellers completed their duties today.

Teller's hours of operation are over, after cleaning the teller's table, they return to their respective cubicles. Preparing to carry out her duties, Renita heads for Musholla. When she saw Rio and Miko, Renita called Miko.

"Miko, I need to."

"What's wrong, miss, seems like there's something you want to ask." seduced Miko while putting on her shoes.

"Ob said there was a seat from your friend for me. What the hell is it? who is still giving?" ask Renita

"Oi oi oi..relax miss, one-on-one ask her. I think the train has a lot of it."

Renita and Rio who heard Miko just grinned.

"Hehe. yes."

"Yes, there was a seat from my friend for you. He wants acquaintance" said Miko without guilt.

"There are you, acquaintances, just don't bring a parcel. Uh but what's that about?" ask Renita again.

"Mene getehe's. I don't dare to open it, the important thing is that the message has been conveyed." Niko sniffed her shoulders.

"Well that's it."

"I'm back first, then until the table opens immediately so you're not curious."

"hmmm, yes"

"Yuk Rei, we go first." Rio returned to the room.

"Yes, thank you."

Still curious about the parcel on her desk but Renita refrains from opening it because the office hours are not over and she has to finish her report today.

It seems to be overtime today, as there are still some reports that are checked before being ushered into his superior's desk.

Tired, while raising her hand of paper and stretching her muscles, Renita picked up the small parcel lifting it up hoping to guess the contents. But no, there is no shadow at all.

When putting it back, Renta was made to be shocked by the sound of a crumb beside him.

"Eh what the hell, got the parcel. From whom?" ask Arini later.

"Okay, I don't know either. Miko said from her friend" Renita replied

"Oh, it's open who knows if there's a sender." Arini's proposal later.

"Ga, just open at home."

"Your report is done?" ask Renita later.

"Udah dong, stay nyetor to this abis boss. You don't yet?" Ask Arini

"A little bit more, I want to finish first so I can go home soon." Renita started typing on her computer.

"Where to go, hurry up very." Arini cerocos

"Tuh bumil ask to buy Martabak in front of the station. Strange, why should it be there anyway. Others are much closer, why ask even there. Lazy queue me, tired." explained Renita.

"His name is also pregnant, ask it must be strange, it's called cravings dear."

"She knows where to buy it too. Dizziness"

"Prophe Yes" replied Arini.

"Yes, be patient. Let's have my report done, stay ngesave on flash and keep depositing to the boss." If you want to setor first gapapa, I'll follow."

"Yes, it's there."

"Done, let's deposit it" Renta went to his superior's room.

€€€€

Leaving the basement of the Bank parking lot where she works, Renita drives her car towards the station, fulfilling the request of her brother who is pregnant.

After 15 minutes he arrived at the place of martabak in question. As expected, the line is long.

Hadeh, added tired like this he thought, did not want to add much queue he began to take no queue and ordered 2 martabak eggs and 2 sweet martabak favorite and pounded little.

Fina, the 3-year-old little girl must now be at her parents' house, after two days with her papa and eyes to visit her eyes in the neighboring city.

While waiting, Renita sat in the corner while playing her mobile phone, opened her social media account, and started browsing there.

Unconsciously there was a pair of eyes that noticed him starting from the beginning of his arrival to that place.

Finally the owner approached Renita's seat, which looked engrossed there. Stop in front of him and take a bench and sit down in front of Renita.

"Hi, can I contact you?" greeting the owner of the voice, extending his hand shocked Renita.

"Oh, yes, I can. Renita Malik, call Rei" she replied with a smile.

"A sweet smile, as sweet as his face" the inner man.

"I am Ardan Prasetya, call me Ardan."

After shaking hands, the two seemed to be chatting. And seems to laugh occasionally.

"Ashik is also the person, right Miko said" Inner Ardan while continuing to pay attention to Renita.

And now it's Ardan's turn to be called by the martabak salesman. After paying his order, Ardan headed straight to where Renita was sitting.

"I first yes, have been waiting for the same that asked martabak." Ardan pleasantries, actually he still wants to accompany Renita but what power kanjeng mami has called her.

Picking up her cell phone and answering calls that were indeed from her Mama.

"Hello, yes mi."

"Assalamualaikum ya ahlil grave, the habit of yang ya answer phone cave ever greetings." cerocos the mami

"Mam, kok doain his son so anyway. Sedan is not going to die yet" replied Ardan.

"Take a greeting. Mami's order already, quickly go home mami dah drooling."

"Mami was like a man cravings, Ardan went straight home. Yesterday, Assalamualaikum." Ardan terminated his phone call.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied the mother.

"Rei, I'm first. See you later, Assalamualaikum." Ardan pamit

"Waalaikumsalam" Renita replied.

Soon Renita's order was completed, and she went to the cashier to pay for it.

"Sir, how much is all my order?" ask Renita.

"Everything has been paid, the same mas" replied the cashier

"Huh, which one? I don't think anyone knows me"

"That's meh mbak, mas who was talking to mbak."

"Oh Ardan means that?"

"Yes mbak, Ardan mas payin. He said he'd make greetings."

"There are, btw thank you. Tell him if he comes here again thank you very much."

"Well, I'm home."

"Yes, be careful."

And Renita also drove her car home, her fatigue was not restrained. Entering her residential gate, slightly reducing the speed of the car and opening the car glass, Renita greeted the security guard who was sitting there.

"Night sir" he said

"Night Rei, just got home?" ask the fattened security guard.

"Yes sir, abis overtime is equally told to buy the custody of pregnant women he said let his son's ileran." replied Renita

"hehehehe. yes mbak, that's right" replied the thinner security guard.

"I say yes sir, congratulations on duty"

"Please mbak"

After passing through the first portal, Rei deflects his car into a sky-blue painted house. Parked his car in the garage and entered his house.

"Assynolajet. Ma, Pa, Dani's sister."

"Where are people, how lonely?" inner Rei

Passing through the kitchen and meeting the monk, Rei sat down next to him.

"Eh, mbak Rei. Just got to mbak?" ask Bik Inah to his employer's son.

"Where are you, Mama, Papa and Kak Dani?" "Sleeping?"

"Mother, father and mother Dani are in the hospital."

"Loh, what's up?" "kok tumben ga give you news"

"Mbak Dani had contracted and his father broke, afraid to run out immediately taken to the hospital mbak" said Bik Inah.

"Yes, but tumben ga ngabari. Horrified that, I went there just now."

"Said mom don't have to mbak, told to rest first."

#Flashback

"Ma. mama, Dani has a stomach ache like a pup, mules ma." Shouted Daniar from the bathroom.

"loh, this ma broke his armpit" Dahniar began to panic

"Oh, calm down don't walk just let it be slippery." Mama said

"Bi, please get me a bag of baby stuff in Dani's room, and call me in the back."

"Well ma'am." replied Bi Imah and immediately did what her employer ordered.

"Pa, let's get to the hospital, afraid of running out of amniotic fluid." Said mom while looking at Dani's sister

"Bi, we're leaving first. Take care of the house, later if Rei comes, tell him to rest first, then go to the hospital. Poor he's tired, abis overtime he said."

"Good, mom."

And they immediately went to the hospital because Daniar contractions are getting more and more frequent.

#Flashback off

"Rei up first yes bik, want to shower already sultry"

"Yes, ma'am" replied Bik Inah

As he climbed the stairs, Rei stopped and called out to Bik Inah again.

"Bik, it's on the table there's a martabak. Take one pack for aunt, the other one wants Rei to take to the hospital later."

"Yes mbak. Thanks" replied bi Inah

Renita passed to her room, putting the bag and parcel that had been taken from her desk.

After finishing the bath and changing into his favorite home clothes. Rei opened his cell phone, and started surfing in cyberspace.

Remembering the parcel, the curiosity came back. Rei photographed it with his HP camera and posted it on his Instagram account.

"From someone, open it?" the caption he put up after the picture of the parcel. And start uploading it. No one commented on his post for long.

@nindi32: "Who are you?"

@yuni_D: "Well, are there any secret fans? 😍"

@Dim_45: "Well, add my rival"

@ArInii: "Open dong, let ga pinisirin"

Rei smiled reading the comments of some of his friends. And he opened the parcel.

How happy Rei was when he knew the contents were a novel that was again hunted, Renita remembered that time in the bookstore she was fighting over the novel with a man who also wanted it.

And because Renita lost quickly the novel has finally changed hands. Disappointed for sure but yeah never mind, there's still the next one Rei thought. Finally he went to the children's storybook counter and bought 2 books for his little bangs.
