An hour earlier...
"Man, you know where you are?" Genta contacted Mandala through his phone line.
"Kinara is home. Why mother?" The mandala had almost reached Kinara's house.
"Not that bini lo. Joke I mean! Most bini are lo!" suduk Genta's.
"Well, didn't you just go home with you?" Mandala was getting anxious. Why did Genta call him? Where's Joke? What is that bad boy doing again?
"Gue got her down at the stop. He's going to his parents' house. I think his parents knew about his son's polygamy! Wanted to go on trial, Joke!" Genta breathed an annoyed breath. "I really feel sorry for the joke so connect you. The hell time he wants to put up a body for you? Damn it so you're a man" Genta's not done nagging, Mandala's turned off her phone. "Arghhh! Satan is Mandala! I'm talking about it again!" suduk Genta's.
"Sir us to the house of Joke now!" mandala orders to the driver. He then called Kinara and said there was a sudden business so he could not go home.
****
"Sir Mandala?" eyes Wrestled in disbelief at the arrival of her husband in the tiny house owned by both parents.
The new mandala came and salim to Father and Mother who welcomed his arrival with a sour face. Wryly, where are the parents who welcomed his polygamous daughter-in-law with a smile and open arms?
"Sorry Dad, Mommy. The mandala is coming now. Father and Mother how are you?" mandala said.
"How do you think Dad felt knowing his son was polygamized?" ketus Daddy's. Dad is not a typical person who can hold back his words, if angry yes angry.
"Sorry, Dad. Not the intention of Mandala doing that to hurt Joke. Mandalas do not want to lose two women in the Mandala life. Joke of a good wife. Kinara married Mandala first. Sorry if Mandala is greedy."
Joke stared at Mandala in disbelief. How good his acting. The woman in Mandala's life? Joke of a good wife? Joke smiled cynically hearing that.
"You have chosen one of the two! I don't want my son to be polygamous!" said Father firmly. "Although you're Prabu's son, I don't care. This time I'm disappointed and sorry to have married Jenaka to you!"
"Well... Don't be emotional, remember Dad's health. It's what Mandala's sister wanted to say." Joke tries to dampen his father's emotions.
"Why are you defending this guy Jen? I want you to be happy!" Dad turned around to scold Joke.
"I'll make a joke, Dad" Mandala said suddenly. "I'll keep the joke. Just take it easy!"
"Well...." Joke looked at her father with a pleading gaze. He asked his father to accept the decision he made. "Jenaka is already married to Kak Mandala. It's all been happening. Jenaka is already Kak Mandala's wife now. Joke too... Been beginning to accept this polygamy." Liar... The joke lies so clearly. Dad knows that.
"Jenaka loves Kak Mandala very much, Dad. Please Daddy keep praying for Jenaka's wedding and Kak Mandala." joking. Her tears returned unstoppable. The joke instead asked his father to approve Mandala polygamy, crazy indeed. It all happened. Even turning around is impossible.
Dad saw the joke that had been crying could not see the sadness of his favorite daughter. "As far as you are, Jen. You are living it. I just want you to be happy!"
I also left the living room. "Let Mother speak to Father. You guys just rest. You must be tired." Mother also followed Dad.
The joke breathed deeply. Why is it all like this? Joke then took Mandala to her room.
"No problem. In front of whose room is Jen?" Mandala pointed at the empty room in front of Jenaka's room.
"That's Juna's room, my sister. Juna is still stationed outside the city. Can't go home now. At our wedding, Juna couldn't come. It's hard to get permission!" bright Joke.
Mandala just found out that Jenaka has a sister. Mandala thinks only child jokes because they are very dear to both parents.
"Bring first, Brother. I will wear my clothes first. It's a big dress, this one." Joke gives a shirt and towel to Mandala.
"Where are you going Jen?" mandala asked when she saw Jenaka coming out with a shirt and towel.
"I'll take a bath in the bathroom just outside, brother. I'll get you a drink and a snack for Brother." Joke then left her room.
After the bath, Mandala looked through the contents of Jenaka's room. There is a picture of three high school girls in a figura. Mandala tau worn is uniform High School they are indeed one SMA turned out. Joke is in the middle. Smile sweetly until her dimples are visible. This photo was taken when I graduated from school. Joke's school clothes are full of pilox scribbles and her friends' signatures. Joke looks very happy.
Mandala's eyes were then fixed on several small figurines containing photos of him while playing basketball. When did Joke take it? Has Joke liked her since High School?
Mandala took a photo album. In it are many photos of Joke and her friends. There's a photo that caught Mandala's attention. A photo of a teary-eyed guy standing next to Joke. His eyes stared lovingly at Joke. As a Mandala guy can see it.
Who's that guy? Joke never tells it, more precisely he never asked about himself Joke.
Chequek...
Joke went into his room. He was wearing a pink nightgown on his knees. Looks really cute.
"Wouldn't eat first? No snacks, no dinner. I brought drinks for Brother" asked Jenaka while putting drinks on the nightstand and hanging a towel on the hanger.
"Not to Jen. I'm still full." refused Mandala. "Who is this?" Mandala asked who the guy in the photo was staring at Jenaka.
"That's my best friend, brother. Panca. Unfortunately, I don't know how he is now. Graduating from High School, Panca was lost to the earth. Being connected can't be either." replied Joke honestly.
"Oh... Kirain's your boyfriend!" sindir Mandalas. He put the photo album in its original place and then walked to Jenaka's bed, drank the drinks that Joke brought and lay down his body there. Although not as comfortable as his mattress, quite as well.
"Well, we can room, sister." said Jenaka full of enthusiasm.
Quickly Mandala put a roll in the middle. As a barrier between them. "Don't cross the line!" threaten Mandala's.
"Well... Pake dibatesin all the hell! I can't hug Mandala!" Joke was a little disappointed Mandala was still keeping her distance from him.
"Udah sleeping! It's night! I'm sleepy!" Mandala turned her back to Jenaka and started to fall asleep.
Joke looked at Mandala's back with a smile. Who would have thought, once He could only see Mandala from afar. Now Mandala is one bed with him. Although it should be limited by bolsters but Jenaka is already quite happy.
