Should I Joke (Again)
14. Give time
Looking for the existence of a Renita during the break or hour home from work is not so difficult, because indeed he has his own place to enjoy his free time.
If it's not on hand or in musholla, it's in the back garden of the office. Like today, after the clearing hour was over, while waiting for the adzan maghrib arrived Rei sat in the back garden. Accompanied by a bottle of mineral water and some snacks, Rei enjoyed the breeze that afternoon.
Open his instagram account, explore the virtual world. See some of his friends and idols. And finally ended up in a post that marked him. Smiling at the picture, his memory goes back to a few years ago when Rei, Anita and Sammy were still sitting on the lecture bench.
The beginning of the semester is stressful as well as fun. They eventually split up after graduation. Sammy must follow her British husband, Renita, who must follow the office wedding procession from the union where her husband works, while Anita is also not much different from following her husband who works in one of BUMN.

"Rei, wanted even dumbly" said Arini, his breathing was a little dull after he had run a little closer to Renita.
"Why are you, up to that dryness?" ask Rei.
"I found you in the cafeteria, you're here" replied Arini, sitting next to Rei.
"What's wrong? until that spirit starts me, don't tell me you miss me" joked Rei.
"Didih. geer, who was missing just now we had lunch together." Arini pursed her lips.
"Back yuk, already want maghrib too." Arini invited later. Taking out the biscuits that Rei was holding and then putting them in his mouth.
"Obviously, there's still a lot of taking mine anyway." protested Rei, snorting annoyed by the habits of his best friend.
"Lazy, dah yuk pray first abis it unplug." took the hand of Renita who was still holding the biscuit.
"But napa, I finished this first." muttered Rei, after finishing his biscuits and mineral water, Renita then cleaned up the trash that had been left on me, threw it into the trash and set foot towards the musholla.
Adhan maghrib reverberated, some people have taken ablution and queue waiting for their turn. Performing his obligation to congregate with friends in his office, making Renita, Arini and others calmer.

"You go straight home? ask Rei when it's parked.
Arini replied with a nod, because she wanted to rest her body immediately.
"Yes be careful, I want to go to a seafood restaurant near the intersection of three, there is a promise with friends" said Renita, while taking her car keys.
"Just like that, yeah, a secret admirer." Arini's tease nudged Rei's arm.
"You know it. You yourself how, already talking to Rio"
"Not yet, I don't want to interfere too much in his personal affairs, but if he wants to tell me the problem I'll happily listen."
"Why don't you ask him to talk, anyways you know that Rio is not the type of person who wants to be open when it comes to his personal life."
"That's exactly what I want to give her time to herself first. Last afternoon I accidentally saw him smoking in the smoking area, I saw he was so desperate. But I don't want him to feel too mixed up with me, even though I know a little about his problems."
"You're right, leave him alone first. Let's just calm down."
"Okay, I'm first. Bye" put on his helmet to stater his motorbike.
Arini got out of the parking lot first, Renita then got into her car. There was a ringtone from his hape, checking the new no. Unsuspecting Rei picked up his phone.
"Assynogaic"
"I've been in place, you've been a long time?" ask for voices across.
"I've wanted to otewe, I close first ya nyetir."
"Okay, awaited"
click the phone closed and Rei drove his vehicle to the place in question. Drive the car a little slowly, because the clock home from work makes the streets a little crowded.
Turn on the mp3 in his car, heard a song from his favorite singer. Rei slightly hardened his volume.
*I was wondering
About our feelings
We really love each other
Or just ever love each other
Do you not feel too
What are your questions
Impressed only by formality
Ask your heart again
Should we break up or continue
We are maintaining a relationship
Or just delaying the farewell
Do you not feel too
The cold started to catch up with our conversation
What are your questions
Impressed only by formality
Ask your heart again
Should we break up or continue
We are maintaining a relationship
Or just delaying the breakup, wo-o
When you ask, what do I want
I want us to t'rus together
Ask your heart again
We are maintaining a relationship
Or just an oh-wo-oo
Just delaying the farewell*
song by Judika
Renita sang a song from the judika while continuing to run her car, the road is still a little jammed because the direction it was aimed at was a shopping and office area, and hours like this are famous for being jammed.
Turning his ac into a cooler, the weather seemed less friendly to him. Finally after passing several red lights long enough, Rei can escape his car and turn towards the famous seafood restaurant there.
Entering the parking lot of the restaurant, it looks already filled with vehicles that really want to enjoy dinner there. Looking for an empty parking area guided by a parking guard, Rei parked his car.
Not forgetting to check the brake hand and the car glass, Rei took his bag and went out. Press the autolock lock from the remote and leave the parking lot towards the entrance of the restaurant.
It is true that some seats have been filled and some are already on the reservation, it is certain that there will be more visitors. Rei looked for the caller figure he had met today, his gaze sweeping across the room. And finally it was on the table in the left corner of the room near the glass.
Rei recognized her, she was Anita his long-awaited best friend. His steps continued to approach the table with a few dishes on it, seemed to be impatient to enjoy.
"Excuse me ma'am, can I sit here?" greeting Rei, like recognizing his voice and..
"Rei.. geez, I'm pangling you now" Anita realized her arrival, she then hugged Rei for quite a while, unknowingly they both became the center of attention of the diner's visitors.
"I'm sorry" Rei said to visitors there, then glared at the owner of the voice that had been busy hugging him.
Anita smirked, her behavior had really embarrassed Rei, but it was not Anita's name if it did not make a scene. Without any guilt he pulled Rei's hand to get closer.
"You how are you? I really miss knowing" again his voice attracted the attention of some visitors.
shhtt...
Rei put his right index finger in his mouth giving the code to shrink his voice. All that is told is to grin while scratching his nape that is not itchy.
