Should I Joke (Again)

15. Heartache

Renita snorted annoyedly, her best friend never changed always crowded wherever he was. Rei desperately wants to curse his horrendous behavior, but free Anita remains Anita he is not the type of person who likes to pretend to be someone else to attract attention.

"How are you?" anita asked, noticing Rei who was still confused by so many menus on the table. He smiled, sure enough to know what his best friend was thinking.

"Well, you yourself seem to be more fertile. Happy, ma'am?"

"Of course, my husband doesn't like his wife to be thin, as if she's curling wood he says so he lets me eat" he chuckles at Rei.

"Where is that, really."

"Ask yourself if you don't believe it, he's the one" pointed at the man who was walking with the toddler and was heading towards them.

"Ibuuuu..". " cried the toddler, his body was lush with curly hair and cheeks, adorable.

"Here, salim used to be the same aunt Rei." said Anita, the toddler nodded, his hand took Rei's hand and kissed him.

"Hello pretty, what's her name?" Rei kissed her cheek, the fragrance of telon oil still dominates.

"Cika, auntie." she answered briefly, her hands were busy picking up fried shrimp and eating it.

"Smart, is Cika in school?"

"Not aunty, still waiting for the new school year." this time Anita who replied, the toddler seemed fun eating shrimp.

"Loh has come apparently, how is Rei" Andi sat himself in the chair in front of his wife.

"Good, mas. It looks like it will be a big family yes, I think Anita will make Andi mas skinny because it can not serve, it was wrong." Rei watched the three people near him who were lush in stature.

"Hus.. haphazardly, gini also I'm smart to take care of them proof.. " Anita showed me her work, Rei just laughed.

"Wah she is the master, even arguably very smart to attract our appetite.hahaha" the husband laughed.

"Yes but I like it, rather than thin it will be said to swoop in wood again" Anita said.

"Yes my dear." Andi touched her cheek, showing her affection. Rei became envious, his memory of Anton coming back.

"When to eat if chatting continues to hunt cold, look Cika has already exhausted a lot of air." They ate and laughed at the behavior of the little boy.

After eating, they resumed their chat, enjoying the night. The atmosphere of a quiet cafe accompanied by songs from mp3 makes anyone feel at home there, besides the menu served really spoil the tongue.

The slick interior design is also very eye catching, with the arrangement of lights and seats and all the trinkets so stunning. It is only fitting that this restaurant is highly recommended, even including favorites.

Rei watched the entire room, he was completely amazed. When accidentally his eyes caught someone he knew. Rei looked from afar, when he felt the person he was looking at turned towards him Rei lowered his head.

Meanwhile the person who was Rei's concern gave a faint smile. While continuing the pending thing. His eyes occasionally looked at Rei from a distance.

"Rei, hey bengong aja. kesambet loh" Anita disperse her daydream.

"What the hell, nit."

"You don't want to have something like this" pointed to Cika, the little boy was still busy chewing food. Like there was no end to his taste, his father did not want to lose. The father and son are really fed, deserve their bodies healthy.

"Are you planning to get married again?" this question Rei finally heard again, for the umpteenth time. Rei replied with a smile.

"If I were to marry again, I would not refuse. But... " Rei stopped his words, took his drink and took a sip.

Anita is still faithfully waiting for Rei's answer, she knows there's no point in forcing Rei. But at least he can hear back his best friend's story from his person directly.

"You're not hurt, are you? until deciding to no longer be in a relationship with other men since your divorce."

"Hurt heart, had time to feel it but what's the point of saving for a long time. I refused to be close to men, but Anton's parents made me realize."

"They didn't force me to marry again. But they don't want to see me alone, sad. They even showed me the last letter from the deceased so I could find new happiness. Can you imagine how I felt at the time."

Anita knows Rei must be feeling guilty because Anton's parents already love him like his biological parents. Rei was not the type of woman who could bear to see the people around her grieving.

"I just don't want to let them down, they already think of me as their own daughter."

"Have you forgotten the deceased?" Rei shakes.

"He'll always be here at all times" pointed at his chest.

"But you're ready, to receive another love. Especially after that divorce, I saw you shut down. When will Rei be?"

"Darling, you don't make Rei." prevent Andi before his wife even more questions to Rei.

"Gapapa mas, I've been gapapa. Relax, I've forgotten about it and I'm ready to open my heart, even though I don't know when I can take it."

"You're still traumatized?" rei's nod made the couple stare at each other. Anita felt pain imagining her best friend. It was not impossible that the trauma would still be felt.

"You need time? You can call me if you need a friend to confide in, I'll always be there for you." Anita hugged her best friend. Rei wiped his tears, returning the embrace of his best friend.

"Well, let's go home, Cika is sleepy. You can continue talking tomorrow." said Mas Andi. The two beautiful women nodded.

"It's still a long time, isn't it?" ask Rei.

"It's still a month away, Andi has to make a visit to several places" replied Anita.

"Yes, Rei if there is time to play at home, while we live in my mother's house because Anita's parents' house has not been completed in the renovation."

"Not remember, right?" ask Andi later

"Still, oiya thank you Mas, Nit for dinner." saw the circular watch on his left wrist. It was nine in the evening, and they walked to the parking lot.

Before parting ways Rei and Anita do cipika cipiki as they usually do. Rei also did not escape kissing the cheek of the little boy who had fallen asleep carried by his father.

Get into each other's cars and disappear from sight. Tired greeting, the night is getting late time to rest the body.

The quiet streets made Rei not take long to get to his house. Stop the car and open the fence, then put it in the garage. Check back all the car doors, turnstiles and entry into the house.

Seemed lonely maybe his mom and dad had rested, Rei then headed to his room to clean himself up.
