Should I Joke (Again)

Should I Joke (Again)
33. Miko and Dina junior



The afternoon began to appear, all employees began to end their work. Similarly, Renita, as promised after hours will find Ardan's parents.


Not to forget the hand fruit in the form of Sundanese food given Tari brought by him. Because he had said goodbye to his parents before leaving earlier, Rei drove his car to Ardan's house.


Once there the house looked quiet, only aunt opened the door. After knowing that his future father-in-law was performing the maghrib prayer service, Rei went straight to Ardan's room. Rest his body for a while before bathing and carrying out his duties as a Muslim.


Ardan hasn't been seen there yet he's probably still at the restaurant. After changing clothes, Rei then went down to the dining room because he was sure everything would have gathered there.


Sure enough, papa mama and also the newlyweds have also sat in their respective seats.


"Assalamualaikum, papa and mama are healthy?" Rei greeted, kissing the backs of the parents' hands.


"Waalaikumsalam, your daughter-in-law has come apparently? There should be a Bandung peuyeum here."


Rei smiled, it was nice to see them back. Rei then sat himself down, then took food like the others. Shortly after Ardan came and joined, the atmosphere of the dinner was more rame because all the residents gathered.


This is what papa and mama Ardan always apply as much as possible to eat with family unless there is a sudden interest or out of town. After eating, Rei helped mama clean the dining table.


There is no longer any awkward feeling like the first time you set foot in this house. The warmth that the Ardan family gave her completely changed Rei into her former self, who was always cheerful.


Moving to the family room, Dina seemed to bring and favorite tea papa and her husband. They also talked about their activities today. If in the past before marriage Dina often came home late because she had to be in the office, and occasionally met directly with vegetable and fruit supplier farmers in her store, now she has begun to reduce.


Sometimes still like to meet in person and see vegetables and fruit in the garden, but usually done on weekends when the husband is at home. So they went together, as well as introducing her husband to the business that his father managed.


"Miko and Dina, papa wants to talk. Maybe you already know what you're going to talk about, but it's good to listen to your explanation first." Papa put down his teacup and looked serious.


"You are now husband and wife, and surely you often discuss. This time papa asked for Miko's willingness as Dina's husband to continue the papa business managing the store. Not that papa told Dina to stop working, but papa wanted Miko to help too."


This middle-aged man looked a little heavy saying it but inevitably had to. And it just so happened that Rei, mama and Ardan were already with them.


Papa continued the conversation. "If papa told Dina to stop completely papa sure can not possibly, because from graduating college Dina has participated in managing. But because now there is a husband who must be taken care of automatically his working hours must also be reduced."


"And also papa and mama are old, want to retire and take grandchildren from you so papa asked you Miko to replace your wife, at least learn and adapt to your new job."


"So think carefully, papa did not tell you to resign from your job, but at least help Dina finish her job so you can immediately program pregnancy"


Everyone in the room understood what papa meant, so now how Miko and Dina responded.


"Pa, if I may Miko want to talk about this for four eyes first. So that we can be absolutely sure of our decision. So Miko asked for time to think first." said Miko firmly.


"The baby will be our home game sir, if there is already Miko and Dina junior here, let alone plus Ardan junior wah mama ga patient want to carry them." Mom suddenly interjected and made them laugh.


"Aamiin, in Aamiin I will be quickly granted his prayers. It was a prayer" answered Dina. Dina and Miko did not delay the pregnancy program, just waiting for the trust to immediately have a baby.

When before the prayer Rei saw Miko sitting alone in the back garden, he then approached and sat across.


"Bang, are you sure you want to resign?" Rei actually already knew Miko's decision, but he wanted to confirm it. Miko nodded then turned to look at Rei. He can't hide anything from Rei.


Their closeness is like a brother and they already know each other. Even their parents used to be friendly, but because Miko's parents had to move out of town they had lost their news. It was only since their retirement that they returned here, and finally connected the cord again.


"Even before I proposed to Dina I had thought about it many times Rei. And now is the time."


"But what about the promotion of the position of head of the unit, is your brother going to let go?"


"You know Rei, even when you were in a relationship with the woman who is now the brother's wife, you were no longer interested" Miko chuckled.


"So you're ready to resign? and what about Dina, does she agree with the brother's decision?" Rei was still asking questions.


huff... Miko seemed to sigh, quite heavy but finally assented. It is reasonable why he rejected the position.


"You know, that position must be targeted by our fellow colleagues, neither hypocritical nor me. Even some of them were openly competing. But do you know the risks?" Miko looked at Rei long ago, took a deep breath and let out her.


"In addition to being willing to be placed in new territory, we must also be ready to part with family unless they want us to boyong there. Don't you?" Rei nodded, that was also what made him think hard all along.


"And brother does not want it to happen Rei, you know that brother has long wanted to be with his brother's wife, because of the many women who have been close to brother only Dina who can survive. Who can understand brother and brother's work, who never demands there should be every time for him, and who can accept brother's family. At first my brother hesitated, but after discussing with my father and mother even I offered to open a business when I resigned later."


"If you resign later what about me, while our two friends are in a relationship and for sure when they get married later one of them also has to resign if they still want to work there. I'll be alone dong"


"You are not alone, there is still a brother here who will continue to accompany you, want you to continue with brother Ardan or not. You're still a brother forever. Already ah don't let ugly know." Miko shuffled Rei's hair.


Without them noticing there was a pair of eyes watching them even hearing what they were talking about. He was Ardan, originally wanted to take Rei home but when he heard their chat he became interested, even wanting to know the extent of their relationship.


Fortunately what he was afraid of did not happen, between Renita and Miko was no more just a friend of them small, even Miko admitted that she considered Rei as her sister, as well as Rei. Maybe for others who don't know, will think they have a relationship. Ardan smiled, it felt relieved even though he had heard directly from his sister and also from her lover, but whose name was indiscriminate jealousy.
