Joke ran into Bu Sri's embrace and cried. "Mom... hiks...."
"St.. cup... Jena's strong... Jena's great..." Bu Sri let Jenaka cry in her arms while patting her back gently.
It was like crying in the arms of a sister he never had. The fragrance of the Princess brand perfume filled the lungs of Jenaka. I don't know why Jenaka feels comfortable with Bu Sri's attitude.
"Udah? Let's go inside!" sincere smile, Ms. Sri gave. Makes the joke feel calmer.
Jenaka followed Bu Sri into her small rented house. Waiting for Bu Sri who went inside to make drinks for him.
Joke feels bad. He came to bring the question to people he did not know before. Not carrying a hand like a self-knowing guest.
Joke stared at the photo displayed on the wall of the living room of Bu Sri's house. Most photos of her son, someone who is smiling shows off two teeth and when his son graduated Kindergarten.
Joke stared at the wedding photo of Bu Sri and her husband. Real pretty. Actually, Ms. Sri is beautiful. Bu Sri is also not as old as people think. He is not yet 35 years old. Because hanging out with village mothers makes Bu Sri look to adjust her friends even though she is still young.
"Drink first, Jen. Let's just be quieter." Bu Sri put his ginger water. "There's cake from my brother. Eat up!"
"Because it's not good, Mom. Jena don't bring anything even bother Mom." Joke took warm ginger water and drank it. A warm feeling runs through his stomach.
"Whoever, Jen! I opened the shop. Rejeki comes in the morning, so it should open the stall early in the morning." Bu Sri took out Pop Ice and various sachetan coffees and hung them on the sales shelves.
"Sorry Jena interrupted Mom's time?"
"Who said? I'm a self-employed man, Jen. Free time. I also sell to expel time, money for me and the children. Not to finance life. It's my husband's job."
"So Jena see, that's Bu Sri's husband? Very dear to Mother. Make Jena jealous. If Jena were the only woman in Mandala's life...."
Bu Sri has finished opening her small shop. Now he joined Jenaka enjoying ginger water and listening to the outpouring of Joke's heart.
"You should be sad when you come, Jen. From the beginning I knew that your problem was very complicated. Playing with feelings. Deplete the emotions of the soul. You said that you will defend your household and will make Mandala love you completely. Why did you change your mind now?"
"Because Jena's getting greedy, ma'am. Jena wants Kak Mandala to belong to Jenaka entirely. Jena forgets that Jena is the third person in Kak Mandala and Kinara's relationship. The closeness of Jena and Kak Mandala lately makes Jena want more until Jena realizes that Kak Mandala still keeps most of his heart for Kinara." Joke removes tears that come back to drip without being able to stand it.
"You know, Jen. Among those who confide in me are only you who hurt the story. I have never had experience in polygamy, amit-amit deh. Maybe my advice is not effective" Jenaka cut off Bu Sri's speech.
"Mother's advice is effective. Kak Mandala even said that it would cut the wings of Jenaka if Jenaka intends to leave. The problem is with the joke, Mom. The joke's getting greedy."
Madam Sri smiled. "You're not greedy, Jen. You just love Mandala too much. All women, if they love someone, want more of the man they love. Human, in my opinion. Now you want to give up?"
"Of course not, Mom. Jena only felt down again because Kak Mandala last night was so friendly with Kinara on the phone. Jena doesn't want to be that easy, Surrender, Mom."
"It's good that you haven't turned over. Keep what is yours until you are at the end of the story. Win or surrender."
"What else do I have to do, Mom. I've been luring out, Mandala. I was also his friend. I should let alone dong?" Jokes seem to run out of ideas.
"Now you're friends but the message. Stay friends with Mandala but occasionally you are friendly and spoiled to her."
"How?"
"Ah you, so I have to teach you! Hmm. I think for a second. But inget yeah, don't get busted!"
"Yes, Mom. Aye! Mother said right, if Kak Mandala does not love me yet do not want to break into my defensive goal? I always hold fast to Mom's words!" jenaka said with pride.
"Don't fuck around, Neng. Women like to feel that they are 'The One' and then foolishly give themselves up. Though it has to go through many stages until it can be said to have become 'The One'." advice Bu Sri.
"Okay, go fishing, make friends already. Did you buy the underwear I asked for?"
"Udah. I'm ashamed of myself for buying it Mom!"
"good. Tomorrow you wear a white shirt and wear that underwear. Do not use a tanktop. Let it look a little see-through. Let Mandala not want your aura seen by other men. Okay?"
"Yes. And then more, Mom. I want a stock of tricks that Mom loves. Carry Kinara out of town again. I can seduce Mandala as I please."
"Out of town? Wow good dong! Let's play a little Mandala man's soul." Ms. Sri whispered something to Jenaka's ear.
"Mom sure?"
Bu Sri nodded confidently. "Love the little cat. Not much!"
"All right, Jena's coming!"
****
Mandala is not calm. Since then he contacted Jenaka but his HP is not active. Where's the bad boy?
Since the disagreement in the parking lot, Mandala thought Jenaka was fine. Not to skip work like this. Mandala was worried about it.
"Genta! Into my room now!" mandala's orders are over the phone.
Genta came shortly. He saw the look on Mandala's face was not friendly. Banged cocks.
"Why? Joke again?" ask Genta who is now sitting in front of Mandala.
"You could say so."
"You can say that, what do you mean?"
"So morning my joke was antherin to the car park. I think he went upstairs and even skipped work!" keluh Mandala's.
"Couldn't you? Have you called yet? Must have been fighting this morning!" guess Genta.
Mandala was weak. "The beginning of the quarrel because I received a call from Kinara when I came home from the market"
"From market? Go to the market? Really? Wow, could it rain a storm!" chirps Genta cut the story of Mandala.
"Udah need not be discussed! I'm telling you another story!" nagging Mandala, Genta instantly fell silent. "Jenaka then locked himself in the room. I didn't notice because I was busy with Kinara's phone. In the morning he prepared me for breakfast but I did not eat. Diem. I asked dong, I'm sorry too but he apparently knows my plan is the same Kinara."
"Plan? Do you have any plans for Kinara?" Genta doesn't understand. Genta thought the plan to legalize their marriage at the expense of Jenaka was enough but it didn't get there.
"Gue promised Kinara... Will divorce Jenaka someday." timidly Mandala said it.
Genta. His fingerbook flushed red as it held back anger. "Lo crazy! You're the craziest Kinara couple I've ever known! Bang sat lo!" The forward clapper pulls the collar of Mandala's shirt, but it's as easy as that Mandala takes it off.
"Gue is crazy! But that was the plan before I married the joke! Before I know Joke any further!" Mandala looked at Genta with a serious look. "Before I started liking jokes."
