Should I Joke (Again)
34. Miko's Decision
Since the beginning of the relationship with Dina, Miko had anticipated the possibility that would happen. If they match then Miko must give up the job she currently has, and help her wife manage her family business. But even though they are not a match, Miko will still choose to resign, according to her promise to both parents first.
Miko was born from a simple family, her parents were just grocery merchants in the market who started their business since they settled in the city. But since his father's parents died when Miko Elementary School, they chose to move to this city. While the stall they rent to fellow merchants there.
And this is what started his introduction to Renita, the little girl who used to often make him upset because he always tailed wherever he went. Neighboring Rei's family and Miko's parents who want to have a daughter really like Rei, maybe because Miko is an only child so once there is a small child who always follows her, Miko likes her more.
Although sometimes quarrels but they both really enjoy the relationship of the brothers, which for some people is more suitable as a couple. Had split up because Miko had to move to her hometown, but finally met again while in college and now a coworker.

"What, have you prayed?" the sound of Miko's daydreaming. Walking up to his wife, Miko held his hand. His eyes seemed to say something that would change his life.
"honey, maybe I'm not a rich man who can fulfill all you want, but I will try to give the best for you and our children later." Miko took a deep breath, as if the weight was heavy because her wife caught the anxiety there.
"As we've discussed before, and I've made my decision. I'll help you manage your business, even if I have to study again, but at least I won't let them down. You know, my parents' efforts are not as big as Papa's, but thanks to perseverance and prayer they can survive, can even open jobs for the surrounding residents. You want to teach me?" happy tears are seen at the end of beautiful eyes. With a nod and a smile, Dina hugged her halal lover. Miko returned the warm embrace, kissing her forehead.
"Let's pray first, we continue the program to make Miko and Dina junior, yes" godanya later.
"Ih. what the hell is that" the all-red look on her pretty face, Dina held back the embarrassment.
The two also passed to the bathroom and performed Islamic prayer, then continued the Miko and Dina junior programs.

The next day, when all the family members gathered before breakfast, papa again asked Miko's decision. And this time, Miko confidently answered him. Because for him the task of the husband is to provide a born and inner living for his wife and children, so he will accept his new task.
Everyone welcomes Miko's decision, papa and mama are sure Miko can be a good head of the family. Ardan as the eldest son was also grateful, his brother-in-law was willing to accept his new duties. That way he could focus on the restaurant, but he would just monitor it.
Ardan believes Miko can carry out her new duties, especially with the same educational background as her sister. It didn't take long to learn it.
As promised yesterday, today Miko will go to the office carrying out her duties, and submit her resignation letter. Miko's co-workers already knew that Miko would resign soon. Maybe this is his last week, because next week will be the one next month Miko is already working in her new office.
The atmosphere haru also felt in Renita room because before being in his position now they were once a division, and they once worked as a team.

That afternoon in the office, four people who had not met for a long time were now gathered at one table, looking familiar there. But there will be a farewell between them. Miko is ready to resign, and will soon leave them.
But it turns out that there are still other surprises that they will receive today, Rio and Arini will have a wedding. And when she delivered the good news, Renita could not help her tears falling. The feeling of happiness because his best friend will let go of his bachelor. Renita hugged Arini, still with a happy cry.
"Rei, Miko we have something to say. We hope you can accept it" Arini said, her eyes aimed at Rio, and Rio nodded in agreement.
"After we got married later, one of us had to stop or move to another area because the rule said there should be no couples working in one office. And we chose me to resign." he continued, still holding Rio's hand, Arini continued.
"But...Rio finally decided to quit and manage his family business, because his father was often sickly so he chose to retire from his job."
"Why..why do you have to be together like this anyway, you guys are so much like me. Just asked to resign, now you are also following. How am I going?" Rei seemed annoyed, at the same time they would resign.
"Rei, forgive us but it looks like this is the best for us. But trust me, we'll never forget you." Rio added.
"Just forget me, I don't want to know you again." Rei sulked, and they knew how to handle it.
"It seems that eating ice cream at the new ice cream stall is fine" Miko chanted as she glanced at Rei who started to get sober.
"What about doble date, how?" bring Rio while raising his eyebrows.
"Nyebelin, you guys are good to have my partner how, plis deh." Rei protest
"Hey. invite yayang also dong" Arini.
"Where do you want him, he says he wants to get out of town for a few days there's work" Rei
"Can't tell Rei yet, just try first who knows who's back here" Miko
"Yes... " Rei
"Well, this is just brother" Rio rattled Rei's hair
"Aiss..my hair" cried Rei, his mouth was a manyun inviting the laughter of his friends there.
After they finished their lunch, they returned to their workplace. I don't know when I can eat together like this again, but it looks like it will be a long time.
Done are working hours today, as promised last afternoon they will meet at the mall to try the menu at the new ice cream booth there tonight. After finishing Rei drove his favorite car to his parents' house.
The traffic seems a little quiet, although the hours of returning home from work but not as crowded as usual. Today, Rei's parents had to stay at his brother's house, because his brother and sister-in-law were having an event, so they accompanied his nephew. There is a sense of kangen the same kingpin, who is usually diligent in inviting him to serve eskrim.
Rei passed by to his room, the room he missed after coming home from work. Putting himself down for a moment, expelling the fatigue of his routine. His mind floated far away, but the sound of the phone blew away his daydream.
"Hello"
"...."
"Girishal"
"...."
"kok know? want to?"
"..."
"Come on, I'll take a shower first bye"
"..."
"waalaikumsalam, sorry to forget"
Rei then hung up his phone call and cleaned himself up before leaving for his place of appointment.
€€€€
Who called Rei? Rei's face looked cheerful after receiving the call, it must be Nebak yayang Ardan right? 😊.
Forgive long time not up, because the condition of the body had dropped after a while ago accompanying my father and mother who were again isoman, it turns out I also need rest, especially with a history of shortness of breath, especially with a history of shortness of breath, I really limit my activities. But promise, after this will be worked up at least once every two days. May it always be healthy.
