Traces of Love Joke

Single-minded

Panca...

Panca...

But what can Panca do?

When Jenaka returned Mandala's blink of an eye. He saw everything from the room.

Panca became more confident when Mandala finally decided not to extend the cooperation relationship between the two companies.

What should Panca do now?

What is his power now? Threatening Mandala with a cooperation contract is no longer possible. Mandala performs the action in silence.

Panca should know, since the first Jenaka has made the decision to end their relationship there is a Mandala behind it. Panca should have realized that all this time there was only Mandala in the heart of Joke, but he was too arrogant to admit it. Still dreaming that he could snatch the Joke.

His efforts for a month were in vain. Tomorrow Jenaka will resign and quit his company. He lost his best secretary at work

Panca stays in her room. Reflecting and daydreaming his fate later. Until finally Jenaka came and knocked on the door of Panca's room.

"Excuse me, you're not home yet, Ca?" ask Joke.

"Yet. You yourself why haven't you gone home, Jen?" ask Panca back.

"Wait for you. Time anyway so the men are not very polite, the boss has not come home eh his men have gone home first?"

A smile on Panca's face. "Tomorrow will you resign, Jen?"

"Yes so dong. Haven't you been to HRD time canceled anyway?" The joke decided to sit down. Think of it as a farewell to your boss.

"Are you really getting a new job? "

Joke shakes her head. "Not yet."

"Yet the work is arrogant to resign. Who will pay for your car? Daddy?"

Panca seemed to know what Joke was thinking.

"Keep working until you and Mandala get married."

Joke was surprised to hear what Panca said. Where does Panca know?

"Not to be surprised like that, Jen. I know that you guys are back in touch. I'm suspicious but I still want to try to get you. Actually all my efforts will be in vain, I know that. But I hope that the odds of only 1% will turn into 99% odds%. In fact? Just hold it not in your heart, instead you get away from me."

"I'm not staying away from you, Ca." elak Joke.

"Defuse all my calls including staying away from me, Jen!" panca Reply.

"Yes anyway. But I have my own reasons." Joke is back in self-defense.

"I know what your reason is. Surely you reasoned that you would take care of my heart so that I wouldn't get hurt, right?" guess Panca.

"Where do you know that?"

"Don't forget that I'm a smart young man, Jen! I know what your purpose is to do all this but I still impose my will. Yes, I am the smart but stupid young man. I'm blind and I don't see everything just because of my obsession with you,"

"You know Jen why I'm so obsessed with you?" ask Panca. Of course Joke shook his head, because indeed Joke never knows what the reason is.

"Because you're the only one who's good to me when we're at school. Lulu and Lily are good because you led them in your footsteps. You made me have a dream, someday I will have a wife as good as you. Then as you know, I moved to Amrik. There I got to know Melisa and participated in the Indonesian student association,"

"Most members of my society are students with parents who come from the upper middle class. I also began to change my association with the hope that when I return later I will look cool in your eyes. Turns out I was late. You've been married to Mandala, the man of your dreams for a long time,"

"I'm almost desperate. A glimmer of hope is present when you finally get divorced. I could have you. Well, at least there's hope, a little. Then I made a mistake. As Juna said, I lost my chance because of myself. Instead of realizing my mistake, I force you even more. That's bad of me?" Panca couldn't look Joke in the eye.

"You're not evil, Ca. You are my best friend. Obsession that makes you that way." Jenaka grabbed Panca's hand and held it, just like when they were in office. "I'm sorry, Ca. I hurt you a lot. I tried, but I couldn't lie to myself. The more I give you hope, the more I hurt you and I don't want that,"

"Why do you want me to always defend you? Not because you can't defend yourself. But I always defend whoever is my best friend who is hurt by others. You do not need to change your relationship just to be accompanied. Just being yourself is enough."

Now Panca dared to lift her face. "If I were to be myself, you would still want to win the same as me, right?"

Joke nodded. "Of course."

"Hm.... As long as I don't get a job." Joke relents. Besides He needs money to pay the bills, He also pity Panca.

"Will you marry me?" panca asked with a big smile.

"Yeah... This is his name! Ah, I want to go home! The night, the more it gets stuck!" Jena also stood up leaving Panca who laughed at him with satisfaction.

"Lied, Jen. Lies. Be careful on the road! Don't stop by! Directly home. Remember, you still have to work here, okay?"

"okay." Joke waved her hand and left Panca seoranbg herself.

After leaving Joke, the smile on Panca's face disappeared into sadness.

"Maybe I can only be your best friend, I've already lost you as a lover. I wouldn't be ready to lose you as a friend, Jen."

****

The joke tells about his chat with Panca on Mandala by phone.

"I feel sorry for Panca. In any case Panca always helps me." said Jenaka.

"Pity is okay, but still you have to limit yourself. I don't want you to get too close to Panca. Your mine's. Regarding your decision to return to work with Panca, I actually want to ban but whatever you think is good, do it. Keep working because later when we get married, you will definitely prefer at home."

"Why indeed?"

"Of course because I'm gonna make you tired all day ha.ha.ha..."

Smiling jokes. "Dad is our next test."

Mandala's laughter disappeared. "Yes, you're right. I don't know how to convince your father. I will give up all the same God, He is the One who turns the hearts of men upside down. We try and pray together."

"Of course."

"From tomorrow I'll pick you up. We're getting close to your dad."

"You sure?"

"Very sure. Even if I'm going to get kicked out, I'm going to fight for you."

"I'm sure we'll make it. "

"Sleep. It's night. Love you baby."

"Love you more."

"Muach."

"Muach too."

"Kiss you more."

"Dream you always."

"When do we sleep?"

Mandalas and Jokes laugh together.

****

The sun shone with shame. Makes a man lazy to get out of his bed.

Not so with the handsome young man who was waiting in front of the house of the idol of the heart. After dawn prayers, he immediately took a bath and went to Jenaka's house.

The door of the house is still closed. The mandala waits until someone opens the first door and gets out of the car.

It was my father who opened the door for the first time.

Mandalas pray before going down. "Bismillahrankayam!"
