Traces of Love Joke

Dad's Restlessness

There is something that has not been joked to tell Mother. When Mother told him to pray istikharah, the instructions have not been Joke get. Joke is not desperate. He returned to praying istikharah and the dream finally appeared.

The joke still remembers that night he had a strange dream. He met Kinara in his dream. Kinara was wearing a white shirt with a radiant face.

"Assalamualaikum, Jena." said Kinara.

"Girishalah, Kinara. Are you here?" ask Joke.

"I miss Mandala but can't see her anymore. Because in his heart Mandala only has your name!" kinara said sadly.

"I'm sorry Kinara." - Sorry joke.

"Oh you're not the wrong joke. Don't feel sorry in yourself. I just want to see you and Mandala happy. I'm picking Mandala up Joke. Happy him. You should be happy too. I know you love each other. Live happily together."

Kinara smiled after uttering her wish and slowly her shadow disappeared. Joke awakens when Mommy wakes him up because Panca will ask him for a surgery.

Now, Jenaka is getting to know Panca and not sure to be his wife. He also told his dreams and uncertainties about his relationship with Panca to Bunda and Juna.

"Honest, Bun. Yesterday Jenaka went to Panca's same party and ended up having a big fight. Jena asked to be dropped off in the middle of the road. Fortunately, Mandala's sister saw Jena, otherwise Jena might have fainted at the stop, Bun." Jenaka story.

"Why did you faint?" Mother looks worried to hear the story of Joke.

The joke takes out her HP and shows a photo featuring her and Panca. The photo was taken when Jenaka was finished in the make-up. Joke's face was uncomfortable with the dress she was wearing.

"Absolutely opened the dress, Jen? If you know you can be taken all out! Most of them are showing this!" mother's Omel.

"Because at first it feels bad if you do not obey the wishes of Panca, Bun. Jena doesn't want to embarrass Panca at the big businessmen's show. But it even backfired for Jena herself. AC in the building is cold. Not to mention Jena has not eaten because of a lot of work during the day. Just breakfast. So Jena got in the wind. Flu too. All the sick bodies. Head dizziness. Ah, complete package, Bun."

"Yes Mother always said, be yourself. If you like to live. If you don't like it, don't follow people's words. As a result you are responsible, right? How's it going?" ask Mommy. In the heart of Mother is also upset because of the attitude of Panca who sacrificed her daughter just for her good name.

"Yes keep Jena unconscious, Bun. Mandala's sister took Jena to her house. It means our house was. I was scared at home, nobody. Mandala's brother who raced Jena all night. Love Jena the medicine and compress Jena's fever head. Pas Jena woke up Kak Mandala again exhausted by the Jena break. Who doesn't miss, Bun? Kak Mandala's surgical time is also a concern when Jena nabok."

"Nabok is what Jen?" ask Mother confused.

"Nabok is nahan bok er, Bun!" Juna answered while laughing.

"Ih Jena mah sloven! How else is the story?" Mother is curious.

"Yes. Kak Mandala who stopped the group at the nearest cafe. Panca mah cuek. Fun to talk to his friends. Jena dicuekkin's! Not to mention he is the same with his high-class friends when he meets cipika cipiki. Feels still in Amrik kali! Kak Mandala who is usually menggubutin girls even looks uncomfortable !"

"You're the time Jen mostly compares the two of them!" syndir Mother.

"Because of his uncomfortable Jena, Bun. Ordinary postures are told to join in the upper class association yaudah difficult deh. Is it fitting that you become a secretary never invited to parties like that, Jen?" Juna is getting curious.

"Well, tacky!" chirps Juna.

"Never have you Jun been to that kayak party? You'll be more tacky than me. Just now you squirm swimming pool kayak wriggling chick wearing bikini. His face drools!" ledek Jena's.

"Heh, I don't drool! I just want to see clear water like that!" reply Juna.

"Heh already-! You two if you've been playing ledek-ledekkin no kelar deh! How anyway? Mandala can you refer me again?" ask Mother curious.

Joke nodded. "Sir Mandala's asking for a month, Bun. Later Kak Mandala will come and see Father and Mother directly. Mother please keep it a secret from Panca and Dad first yes, Bun."

"Mother won't ask why it'll take another month. Mandala must have her own plan. If indeed you are confident with Mandala, Mother supports. Remember, this is your last wedding. Mother does not want to see him hurt you again like before!"

"Yes, Bun. Thanks, Bun."

Without anyone knowing, Dad eavesdropped on their conversation. Dad didn't go out. Dad just slammed the door and hid in the living room. He heard all the family conversations behind him.

Diverse feelings raging inside Dad. Angry, upset, disappointed and desperate for the happiness of his poor daughter who must bear the status of a widow at a young age.

He quietly opened the door and left the house. Dad was sitting at the hostess post where he was hanging out while listening to the babbling of his friends.

"Eh you already know there has not been a widow semok who just moved in our RT? His son is on big. It could be a bustle!" said Mr. Udin, the widower who died his wife 6 months ago. Really want to find a new wife again apparently he.

"We can be acquaintances. It is good if semok mah. Still can make the otong wake up." said Mr. Dodi, a pensioner who has two wives and is still a centile at his age who is no longer young.

"Gue follow dong! I'm back home from the village!" do not want to lose Mr. Juki who cheats but always caught his wife..

"Ah... If you're on the follow-up, my rival more and more dong? This time his widow's really cool, coy! Body like a Spanish guitar. Having a salon business, the face is always well maintained. The child is already on big, there are no dependents anymore. This qualified candidate is mah. I want to marry ah. Do not follow the decetin anyway! I don't have any bini like you all!" said Mr. Udin did not want to lose.

"Bini lo just died 6 months time, Din. I forgot to do it! It used to be a cry-nangis pas bini lo died. Pake said, how can I live without my baby? Boong really lo! You want to marry again! You dredge man!" reply Mr. Juki.

Dad just kept quiet watching his three colleagues fighting over a widow. In his heart was a worry.

Joke is also a widow. True said Juna, he can not always protect Jenaka. Juna is also not always able to be on the side of Joke. Juna will get married and have his own family. And himself?

Dad looked at his hand which was now wrinkled. Can he continue to protect the Joke from men like his friends in front of him. Who views a woman as a target because of her widowed status?

But releasing Jenaka on Mandala his heart was very worried. He was afraid Jenaka was again hurt by Mandala. If with Panca, he was afraid Jenaka was getting depressed. What's to be done?
