Should I Joke (Again)
03. What the hell does it want
Arriving at home, Mr. Fauzi noticed his daughter who was asleep, looking tired face. Engraved a smile on the middle-aged man's face. I couldn't bear to wake her, but holding her daughter was no longer possible.
The little girl had already turned into a mature woman, although sometimes her attitude was still spoiled. Swiped his head and kissed his forehead like he always did. Renita squirms because she feels someone touching her, and she smiles at her first love.
"Pa, why don't you wake Rei when it's over" look around.
"Papa can't bear to wake you, but papa is also not as strong as before if you have to carry you up to the room, I can crush papa's gout" he said joking while laughing.
Rei saw his papa laughing also laugh, which is true if the papa had to carry him until the room is not only papa gout that recurred, but his mother's annual illness can recur. The chatter won't stop all day.
"Papa, where might Rei ask papa to hold Rei. Can rampage the first lady if caught. hahaha" he replied.
"Rei open the fence first ya pa" smiled as he opened the car door. And out opened the fence of his house.
After making sure the turnstile and garage are locked, the two then enter their respective rooms. Resting the body that has been all day activities.

The next day, Mr. Fauzi was ready to go to the hospital to deliver a change of clothes for his wife, while waiting for Renita to come down he enjoyed a cup of coffee and read the newspaper this morning.
"Morning pa" said Rei, kissing his papa's cheek. Sit down next to Dad and start breakfast.
"Rei, come to the hospital and get a car" asked papa.
"No pa, let Rei take it later during lunch break, all of you want to be taken to the workshop. It's time to change the oil pa"
"Oh yeah, that means straight to Abis' office"
Nodding his head, while finishing his favorite warm milk.
On the way to work, Renita and Papa did not stop humming following the song played in his papa car. Memories that my mom and dad sang at home.
While waiting for the red light to change, the look in his eyes caught someone's shadow. Yes, someone who had once stopped in his heart, though not for long.
"Reza" Inner Rei, he seemed happy with his new wife, especially now that there was a little one among them.
Unknowingly the two stared at each other from behind the car glass. Renita knows even though they are divorced, she can't hate him. For the affairs of the heart no one knows.
Fortunately, the green light was on, and both of them were already on the move. I don't know what's on her mind, even though Renita is angry over her ex-husband's affair, but she also can't refuse if Reza has occupied a small space in her heart.
Not wanting his papa to know, Rei immediately wiped away the tears that fell on his cheeks. And back to singing the old song that the papa swivel.
Up in front of his office lobby, kissing papa's hands and cheeks and saying goodbye. Then entered his room after his papa's car disappeared from his sight.
"Morning." said Rei to his friends who had already arrived.
"For Rei, how have your parcels been opened?" ask Miko
"It's dong" he answered briefly.
"Wah seneng nih it looks." seduced Rio while glancing at Miko.
"Hooh, the aura is different" Miko's timpal later said.
"What the hell? Udah ah, absent first keep getting ready at the front office." Not wanting to linger because Rei knew he would be the months of his two best friends.
"Okay boss" said the two together.
"Which way, how come the tumben has not come that child?" ask Rei
"Something a little late because it's still taking her mother to the doctor, most immediately nyampe" said Miko
"Oh, it hurts again, right?"
"It's just routine control"
They headed for the teller table and prepared before the clearing hour began. After that start the queue calling machine. Ready to do the job today.

"Where are you going to have lunch?" arini whispers to Renita.
"I may go to the hospital first to take a car, all the way to the workshop to change the oil" Renita replied
"So lunch at the front desk of the workshop. I ate a pussy chicken there."
"Oh, yes, I'll be anterin all you want to take the medicine mom in the pharmacy near there." Arini
After finishing serving the last customer they both put up a break sign and want to go to his desk. Passing with Miko who has already performed the dhuhur prayer service.
"Where are you going, in such a hurry?" her question made them both stop.
"You ate a hens in the pujasera, but before that take Rei's car in the hospital" replied Arini.
"Well, who's in the hospital?"
"Sir Dani gave birth yesterday, last night was sleepy so come home papa car I live there" explained Rei
"Oh, Kirain is sick"
"Do you want a chicken too?" ask Arini
"May, you have the same Rio. He went to the cafeteria again, he said."
"okay"
Both of them left the office to the hospital, suddenly Rei's phone rang. The same ringtone she addressed to her ex-husband.
Renita did not change that particular ringtone. Not not do not want to replace but it still feels lazy to replace or still too expect him? I don't know, only Renita knows the answer.
"Rei, how'd you pick up the phone?" Arini shook Renita's arm, breaking her daydream.
"Ah yes, why?" realizing from his daydream, Rei turned back his name.
"You're wondering what the hell, until asked what, even behind it."
"Hape you've been sounding all the time, picked up the cake. If you don't want to be raised, direct, pity who calls to know!"
"Let's go, I'm lazy to pick up the phone" replied Renita
"Who's calling?"
"More.. " Shows her screen hape on Arini
"Isn't that someone calling you?"
"Where do I know, this is also just calling" Renita sniffed her shoulder
"Maybe he misses you, you're the most beautiful ex." jolly Arini, teasing Renita who determines her lips.
"Huh what the hell. It's not yes"
"So you know"
Several times it rang but was ignored, but there was a sense of curiosity may also be a sense of kangen on her ex-husband, especially after a brief meeting accidentally this morning.
€€€
How many minutes later they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Rei headed to where his car was and Arini had gone to the pharmacy.
After delivering his car to his garage. Renita then crossed the road to Pujasera, because the agreement met there with Arini.
Walking towards her favorite pock stand, Renita searches for Arini's whereabouts while squeezing her hape.
Suddenly he hit someone, almost Renita bounced back if the person he hit did not hold his hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Renita said
"Just like.."
"Rei, how are you?" Reza tries to shift the awkwardness, for some reason she always misses the look in these eyes.
There may be no more names there, but it's okay if Reza hopes to fill it up again.
Still in the original position, the two looked into each other's eyes. There is no denying the longing between the two. Look and look for answers to your questions.
Until Renita wakes up because her phone is shaking, Arini contacts her.
"Uff, good luck" Inner Rei
"Thank God if you save me" Renita pretended to fix her hair to ward off tension.
"I.. I'm kind. How are you doing yourself?" greet Rei, even though it has been a year apart but it is still the same as before.
Always stiff and groggy if alone with her, with her ex-husband.
"I'm good Rei, but not my heart" Inner Reza
Realizing Renita was waiting for her answer, she laughed.
"Alright, I'm good Rei"
"Mom and dad are healthy, right?"
"Thank God, Papa and Mama are healthy"
"Papa mama mas Reza is healthy? It doesn't go up again. You're not doing it again, are you?" candlesticks
"that smile, I miss it" Reza's inner self churned.
"You can do it, Rei. No, I'm a good boy now" he said with a laugh.
"Rei, can we talk four-eyes?" Eventually the question escaped as well.
"Loh, we've now spoken to four eyes mas" Rei said
"Yes.I mean, do you have time. I want to talk to you about something."
"It's funny, so talk about what's hard. But unfortunately now is not the right time."
"Well, I'll wait when you can"
"I can't promise, but I will."
"Okay, I'm waiting"
Rei just smiled, somehow unable to resist. Again and again, suddenly from behind him.
"Rei.. geez, I'm until you know ga curly, good thing I already ordered the chicken first if it can not be as cute as me." Arini cerocos
"Eh there's Reza, how are you?" while shaking hands.
"Okay, sorry. I don't know if you've already made a deal." Reza felt guilty.
"Gapa mas, emang this base just that can not see the clear little." cengir Arini while elbowing Rei's hand.
"What's? What the heck" Rei glared, but the spearheaded even grinned while scratching his head that did not itch.
Reza just laughed when he heard the two friends arguing with each other. Both of them never change, no need to jaim like other women.
Reza's appearance is now more mature, more handsome look at his age. So many of his clients who openly praise him. Not ashamed to be close to him.
"You owe me an explanation for why you were able to talk to the most beautiful ex"
"What the hell, I didn't meet him on purpose."
"Hmmm I'm not sure" Arini bled his mouth, trying to dig up information
"What a fact, suwer. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to lose"
"yeah, give up on that manyun."
"Keep he's meeting that?"
Renita nodded her head, it felt like again in the same trial of BK teacher. Nyerocos mulu his best friend.
"What does he want? how could it seem like you really want to see you."
"Do you know or want to know?" Renita walks towards the parking lot leaving Arini who is still kepo
"You're left behind, Rei wait.. " Arini ran after her best friend. And they went back to their work.
€€€
Renita intends to take a bus to her subscription workshop, because it is not possible if she has to take care of her friends. Their house is not in line with the workshop.
Pity also if you have to turn around, where the traffic jams also start to solid when working hours end. Renita wants to visit her new niece.
And here he is, among his family with his two adorable little nieces.
"Sister, I'm taking her home with me" Renita said guiltlessly. She took the two-day-old baby into her cradle. Smelling her cheeks, scented baby is always fun.
"Don't do it, make it yourself" replied his brother ketus. He knew Renita would definitely sulk.
"Ah, make the doang easy but who is the same?" replied Renita origin, making everything in the room surprised.
"It's then to find a future husband so that he can make good baby dough like that" Laughing Brother Dani started teasing him.
"Yakali. missing until must be sought. You're a weird brother"
"Loh really, you should open your heart to quickly practice, and can make dough."
"Sister.... Ma, his sister" Rei curled his mouth.
"That's when you've gathered a mute fight, like a cat and a mouse. Napa's acur" mama's sergeant
"Ma's uncle, Rei is funny about having children but not getting married. My son wants to be asked, weird right."
"I can't make it again, won't it bang" Rei started looking for allies.
"Bang Heru just want to be invited to make again"
"He's a good stay setor doang, well that loading the end result is me. Everywhere it's been taken like a drumband player I'm tea."
Suddenly everyone laughed at the argument of the absurd brother and sister, Heru who felt cornered could only grin while scratching his head that was not itchy.
And such was the atmosphere that they always missed, when Kak Daniar married and joined her husband on duty in another city, Rei had no friends to argue with.
When Rei married the late Anton she joined her husband's service outside the Island. Until the fateful incident occurred, Rei was forced to go home and settle back here.
After taking care of all the letters moved tasks, from the Bank where he worked, passed the iddah period and began to organize a new life. Luckily Anton's late parents understood the circumstances, even asking Rei to remarry was Anton's mother.
Understand the situation of her daughter-in-law, because she has also experienced the same thing.as a soldier's wife, inevitably, willingly unwillingly she had to release her husband's departure to the conflict area.
Even before Anton proposed to her Renita had prepared mentally, if married to a member of the TNI then must be ready with all the risks including a death contract that sometimes comes.
The family of the deceased understood Rei very well, even loving him very much. Because Anton is the last child and comes from a large TNI family, starting from his grandfather, cousin, Anton and his brothers all state servants.
Proud to be among Anton's large family who never chose love, even close family ties make Renita heavy release.
Although now she is no longer with them, but Renita never broke with the Anton family. Sometimes Renita will go and stay there during the weekend or when the holidays arrive.
They welcomed Renita like their own child. Even when Renita married Reza they came and helped her wedding.
It's just that during his marriage to Reza, Renita had never stayed there again. Usually during the weekend after visiting the deceased's grave, Renita directly to her parents' house.
Rei snorted, It has been two weeks that he has not visited Anton's tomb. Tomorrow after finishing all his monthly reports, he will visit the tomb and stay at Anton's parents' house.
