Traces of Love Joke

Wedding Day

After chatting for a while with Dad, Melisa's family also came home. A satisfied smile on their faces signaled their arrival was not in vain.

Now, Juna still has to face Father and Mother who sit in front of him with a myriad of questions. Jenaka and Mandala pamit first.

Joke would prepare dinner for her husband first. Dad and the others will follow.

"Are you sure of your decision, Arjuna?" ask Dad.

"In sha Allah already, Dad."

"good. I like your firm attitude. Then about your marriage. Our wedding ceremony will be held here. We made like Jenaka and Mandala's wedding yesterday. Simple yet familial." break up Dad.

"Juna agrees, Dad. Juna doesn't have much savings. Only twenty million. Not yet for dowry and surrender money. Hopefully enough, Dad." Juna also expressed his anxiety.

"Enough, if the marriage contract let Daddy pay. You just focus on thinking about the dowry usually gold jewelry and about the handover, that you just talk to Melisa what she wants."

"Yes, Dad."

"Udah night, let's eat first. I'm hungry." take Dad.

"Come on! Joke is ready. Let's just eat. Think about marriage after you're full!" mama said.

After the dawn prayer, Juna went to work. He was carrying some clothes in his backpack.

Juna and his colleagues were already on the bus to the site of the flood and hot lava disaster. He must be ready to be assigned like this.

Juna looked at the window. He's getting married, Melisa's gonna be his wife any minute. Will He be able to?

The smile on Juna's face was sharpest as He recalled the moment he received Melisa's proposal. Yes, Melisa's proposal. It was not him who proposed.

The HP in Juna's pants pocket vibrates. Melissa sent him a message.

"Asalamualaikum Juna's. Have you left?" message from Melisa.

Juna sent a photo of the scene from the bus window. "Vaalaikumsalam. It's been. It's on the road."

Melisa appears to be typing something after the blue check mark which means the message has been read.

"Hopefully make it to the destination, the job is done quickly and you're back without missing a single thing."

"Aamiin." replied Juna briefly.

"I'm waiting for you to come home!"

"OK."

Juna smiled at the screen of his phone. The spirit within him felt growing. He must quickly complete the task and return to Melisa. Finally there was someone waiting for him to come home besides his family.

Meanwhile Panca and Jelita are also preparing their wedding plans. Both of Panca's parents had already come from Amrik. They were shocked when Panca again reported that he would get married in the near future, more surprised to know that Panca would marry Jelita instead of Jenaka who they had known as Panca's true love.

Panca invited her parents to come to propose to Jelita. Only Panca, her parents and her uncle who acted as representatives would speak on behalf of Panca's parents.

The Jelita family warmly welcomed the arrival of the Panca family. They did not expect that the fate of Jelita so lucky to be redacted by a family of wealthy businessmen such as Panca, the owner of Real Group.

Panca expressed her intention to question Jelita in the near future. Do not want to go through the courtship period like most young people and choose taaruf.

Jelita's mother agreed. Even when Panca asked for a wedding ceremony to be held on Saturday tomorrow, he also agreed.

****

"Darling, Panca invited me to attend her wedding on Saturday." tell Jenaka to Mandala.

"Oh yeah? That fast?" Mandala was shocked by the information Joke had told her.

"Yes, they want ta'aruf. Yes, more or less the same as Juna and Melisa."

"Goodoo. Avoiding dating and getting married is perfectly legal. As long as it's ready to get married, it's not just ta'aruf. Ready it can in the sense that it has worked so that it can support his family. Be mature in thinking and controlling emotions, because housekeeping requires a lot of patience, not just energy."

"How much energy?" tanya Joke is confused.

"Yes dong. It takes a lot of energy to please the couple. I think I'm ready to please you." Mandala is meaningfully moving.

"Yes. yeah... I-i understand. I pray Isya first!"

"Ready, Honey!"

Melisa has made an agreement with Jenaka and Mandala will meet at Panca's house. They were the groomsmen who helped bring the hand-drawn items to Jelita.

Mother and Father are not left behind. Panca who has been considered his own child even though he did not marry Jenaka still had to be helped when he wanted to marry.

The Panca family which is only a little so looks a lot thanks to the presence of the Jenaka and Melisa families. Don't forget Lily and Lulu who don't want to miss their best friend's happy moment.

Jelita's house has been decorated for a wedding ceremony. Panca will also hold a wedding reception at the building later tonight. So after the marriage contract, they will go directly to the hotel where the event was held.

Why is there a marriage contract at Jelita's house? Because of the request of Ibu Jelita who wants to just once at her home held a wedding ceremony. His request was granted by Panca.

Joke looked at Panca who looked so tense in front of the penghulu. Jelita was already sitting next to her wearing a white kebaya with a matching color hijab. Very beautiful, despite the wedding kebaya Jelita who designed himself and his mother who sewed it. Really compact once a child and mother.

"It looks like just yesterday yes I am the same you are in the position of Panca and Jelita. Now Panca is married and soon Juna and Melisa. I'm glad we got a wedding" Jenaka said, leaning her head on Mandala's shoulder.

"Yes, hopefully if we have children later will be the same age. If we need our kids, we'll go to school. Did you come by the moon yet?" ask Mandala.

Joke shakes her head. "Yet. I really like a little late so never pay attention to the last day. I'll see the calendar in the room. I noted it there.'"

"There are no signs? Like nausea or dizziness? Usually pregnant women like to crave too."

"Hm... No tuh, I'm normal, not feeling nauseous or dizzy. Eh see Panca again! I want to see her tense face when I say kabul ijab. "

They also focus on Panca. Once wrong to say Ijab kabul makes Panca's face more tense.

"Light, Ca. Drink first." Mandala advised Panca not to be too nervous.

After calming down and taking a deep breath, Panca also said kabul ijab and succeeded.

"Well!" answer everyone present.

Panca could now smile and breathe a sigh of relief. He now married Jelita. In his heart Panca prayed that his household would always be a household blessed with affection and always together until death separated.

"Congratulations, Ca. I'm happy to see you happy." said Jenaka sincerely. "Hopefully you will be a good priest to Jelita and will always love her in joy and sorrow. Happy for all of you."

"Thank you, Jen. You are my best friend. I'm glad to know you"

Unfinished Panca said her words, Jenaka fell unconscious. The happy atmosphere turned into a panic atmosphere.
