Traces of Love Joke

Keep up the effort

Mandala ended her phone call with Jenaka. Papi Prabu who had been impatiently waiting for the completion of the conversation between them finally strafed Mandala with a few questions.

"You're just as witty as being familiar again? You guys ever meet? You guys ever walk together? Or are you planning to refer?" ask Papi Prabu.

"Honestly Pi, I'm the same Jenaka has planned to refer to. But there are some problems that we have to solve first. Can't just refer to it." replied Mandala.

"What problems? Maybe Papi can help you?!"

"Of course Papi can help us. In the meantime, I'm gonna deal with the Real Group. I'm gonna need Papi's help to convince Jena's father to take me back as his son-in-law."

"Jena's Father? It's so heavy this is his business! Wait a minute, Reel Group? What does all this have to do with Reel Group?"

Genta who had been in the room and heard Mandala's conversation with her Papa, just kept silent while listening.

"Now, Jena is the wife of Panca, CEO of Real Group. Papi was calm, Jena had cut off his relationship with Panca but Panca refused. I can't go straight ahead to declare my relationship with Jena, because as Papi knows we still have a cooperative relationship. Another month, Pi. Once this contract is over, I will fight blatantly. And I asked Papi for help. Papi, will you help me?"

"Your relationship is complicated, right? The problems you face are hard. First you have to face the Panca Group. They are not easy opponents. You know for yourself their company is bigger than Papi's. And second, God.... Mandala, Papi was most afraid of Jena's father. How do you try to convince Jena's father?!" Papi was also dizzy thinking about his son's future.

"Come on Pi, help Mandala this time. Does Papi not want to have a daughter-in-law like Jena anymore?" mandala Rayu.

"You have a wife as good as Jena and you are polygamy! Use your talaq again! If you do not talk about him at that time, it will not be as complicated as gini. You can still live happily with Jena. Now how does Papi deal with Jena's father?"

"Yes Papi thought! Rarely does Mandala ask for help papi? Ask your mom, have no idea? Don't just ask Jena Masakin for him! Think also dong future Jena same Mandala!" mandala whinek.

"Basar son of songong! Papi and Mami are thinking! You want to refer to it, why should Papi and Mami be dizzy?!"

"Ehem! Sorry if I disturbed you. I have an idea, how about Jena for me? You're not gonna get dizzy, are you?" Genta knew what the consequences of the question were. Before a bantex and a shoe floated, he had run away laughing.

"This Scream! Om sayin Papi you are! People are seriously being swindled! Later Om your mutation becomes the parking part of the motorcycle to know the taste!"

Genta is not afraid. He was engrossed in laughing at Om and his cousin who looked emotional.

"Lumayan, say sleepy dings." murmured Genta.

"Why did you ask Papa and Mama to come home sooner, Ca? You know, Papa's busy with your grandfather's company? Your mother is also busy taking care of your grandfather whose behavior is more like a child! Ask for a balloon, ask for a walk on the stoller! My mom and dad couldn't get home sooner!" papanya Panca said by phone.

"After a while, Pa. Please lamarin Joke for Panca!" whinek Panca is like a child asking to buy a balloon.

"Why are you asking so quickly? Have you impregnated Jena? Jena's dad asked for your son to marry you?" ask Panca again.

"Not like that, Pa. Panca just wants to marry Jenaka right away! Do you know how much Panca loves Jenaka?"

"You're in love, why do Papa and Mama bother anyway? Getting married is not fun there! His parents must come first. Can't go directly to KUA?"

"It's not okay, Pa. Anyway, I'm really asking, Papa and Mama come to Indonesia immediately!"

"Yes. Papa and Mama will try."

Panca hung up on her phone. Ever since Jenaka returned from her lunch break with her smiling face, Panca was worried. It's not usually a joke with such a carefree face.

Not wanting to lose the start compared to others, Panca decided to ask her parents to come even faster. He'll confuse the joke first. He does not want to lose competition with others.

"Jen, tomorrow I leave and go home from work. I want to have breakfast for Mother's cooking. Can you?" pinta Panca while Jenaka is getting ready to go home from work.

"Oh if you want breakfast Mother's cooking, I will bring it. I brought my own car so you don't have to bother picking me up." Reject Joke.

"Jen, I want to fix our relationship. Can't we go back to what we used to be?" Panca looked at Joke expectantly.

"I agree that our relationship is the same as it used to be. But once upon a time Ca. When we are still in office. If it's more than that, I'm so sorry I can't." Joke wears her sling bag. "I'll go home first."

The next day Jenaka brought Mother's breakfast for Panca. He still refused Panca's invitation to be picked up.

Panca is not resourceful. He tried as hard as he could to make his relationship with Jenaka come back.

"Jen, tomorrow's weekend we take a walk? Want to go to Singapore for shopping? Or do you want to go to Bali? We can take Lulu and Lily, they'll be happy." Panca said.

"I have an appointment, Ca. Sorry." Reject Joke again.

"Who's same? A mandala?"

"No. Same Juna." replied Joke honestly.

"When can I follow you?" Panca back effort.

"Sorry, Ca. I made an appointment with Juna last week. No one comes, including Mom and Dad. Just the two of us." Joke didn't say they were going to Mandala's house.

"Why what?"

"Ngapain cake. It's none of your business, is it?" Jokes start to act jutek.

"Jaudah at night. We just hang out, there's a nice cafe just opened. Take Juna too. How's it?"

"I think I'll be exhausted if the night goes again."

"Judah gini, just a Sunday. You are tired, what if we go to a spa and aromatherapy massage. Invite Daddy, Mommy and Juna as well. How's it?"

"Udah ah Ca, I mules!" Joke also left Panca without assuring or rejecting his invitation. Free. Being rejected will also remain a business. Better to be left out.

Turns out Panca didn't stop either. The next day he brought Jenaka a bouquet of flowers and a special lunch he ordered for Jena. But what was Jena's answer?

"For the other children, Ca. I'm so sorry, I'm fasting on Monday to pay the fasting debt. The flowers yes I take for diaro in your room. There's a vase too, right?"

Panca was speechless. I don't know in what way to coax an angry joke. Again true said Juna, if Jenaka already angry will be serem. Hiyya.... No chance at all!
