Traces of Love Joke
A Temptive Offer

Apparently the shock of Jenaka did not stop until he found out that Panca was the leader of Reel Group. There was another surprise waiting for him.

Panca's changed appearance of 180⁰ makes her not Joke recognize. Jenaka still does not believe that the handsome man who was driving a Lamborghini car that he was riding was his best friend, Panca. Joke is like being in a dream that is too beautiful to believe.

Panca is the CEO of Reel Group!

Panca the cute-looking guy, wearing an oversize shirt stuffed into his pants and glasses who always follows wherever Jenaka goes is a handsome guy who is now beside him. Who's gonna believe it?

"Mh... Panca, how come you don't wear glasses anyway?" Joke is that stupid. Not about the company or property of Panca, even why not wear glasses?!

"Gue's had a lasik operation, Jen. Actually, when I was in school, I was not too big. I like the look of wearing glasses, like Superman." Panca remained focused on driving her car on the crowded streets.

"Certainly, where have you been all this time? How did it disappear like the earth? I, Lulu and Lily nyariin you keep on loh! We even came to your house, it turns out that your grandparents' house has been empty since you moved. The three of us also connect with you but never active again!" Joke remembered when Panca disappeared without news. He was with his two best friends like a dazed person who lost their dear friend.

Panca smiled, her heart warmed to know that many friends loved her. "Gue moved on, Jen. Come back to America. At that time my grandfather's condition from the bokap was critical. My family flew there. Arriving there, bokap told to lead the company. I want to go back again, but I'm afraid. No one lives in my grandparents' house I've been living in. I follow the request of Bokap. I went to college there and only 2 years ago I held my grandfather's company,"

"Bokap said there was a friend, his name was Om Prabu who did not cooperate, I was told to be a bokap representative to see the prospect of cooperation. I was in Jakarta for a week. His intention to realize the existence of lo the same Lulu and Lily uh like fate, even met you here."

"Yes yes... We're like destiny. I swear I did not know you. I just feel the look in your eyes as I know it. But genuine, you are handsome now! Kayak artist! Superman passes by the same way when he opens his glasses!" no more awkwardness now. Joke was like chatting with Panca like they used to be when they were in school.

"But it was a good presentation! Let's move to my company! I love 2x your salary in Prabu Group deh!" Panca offered an offer that was so seductive Jenaka.

"Well.just 2x... The time of the CEO kayak lo only dare to offer 2x salary! Huh!" ledek Joke.

"Okay, 5 times! For example, a salary of ten million, I give fifty million a month! If it's good I go up again, how about it?" the eyes of Joke sparkled hearing the nominal that Panca mentioned. A fantastic offer. What does it feel like to pay fifty million a month?

"Wow! Fifty million! But my salary is only six million cuy! Five times as much as thirty million!"

"It's cheap to pay! We move tomorrow! I told my secretary to sign a contract for you!"

Joke smiles cynically. "Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I can move in your company!"

"Who? Why not?" Panca parked his car in the parking lot provided by the mall for Panca's sports car. Just a short walk to the lobby. The treatment is completely different between the rich and the poor.

Panca holding the hand of Joke. Invite him into the mall. "To the cafe! If you want to eat there is lunch too!"

The joke agreed. Actually Panca wants to embrace Joke as he usually did when High School first. But now, Jenaka has transformed into a beautiful woman who must be guarded honor. Not just playing the game.

Panca ordered a menu for herself and Jenaka. "So how? You want to move to my company?" Panca charges for the Joke answer. Joke did not answer his question. It even looks moody.

"Gue... It can't be that easy to move." Joke wanted to reveal that the reason could not move because Mandala would not agree. "Let's not be at home, I'll tell you!"

Joke also according. He entered his HP number. Panca called Jenaka. "That's my HP number! Save yes!"

Joke nodded. Their conversation was interrupted by the waiter bringing cakes and iced coffee with a lot of whipped cream on it. Really Joke's favorite.

"Well! Whipped cream is a lot! I love the drinks that are whipped cream!" Joke was so enthusiastic and immediately tried the drink.

"Since dong! You are a girl who does not care about weight when consuming whipped cream. Not like other girls who are worried that their weight will rise. I also still memorize, you will idolize Mandala since High School. Don't-don't because now you're in the same Mandala office, so you don't want to move to my company?" guess Panca.

"The idolization of Kak Mandala mah still remains the same. Even though he's my husband, I still idolize him!" answer honestly Joke.

"It's still halu lo! In fact, it's not getting treated!" Panca doesn't believe what Joke says. Joke was honest with him. "Where are you and Mom? I want to play at your house ah! Same with Mother! How about work home? I'll pick you up at the office!"

Joke is confused as to how to explain it. He has said honestly that he is married to Mandala but Panca still does not believe. Now even Panca wants to go to the house of Father and Mother!

"Geez I forgot! I'll have dinner with the Minister later! We're reschedule, yes! Sorry Jen, I'm busy. Not kayak yet. I want to go and go!" Panca canceled the promise he made.

Joke breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, it's nothing. Just relax!"

****

Mandala nervously looked at her watch. It's 1 o'clock and Joke hasn't come back yet. Where did his bad wife go?

"Bu Yuli, joke when you come back please tell me to my room!" mandala orders on Bu Yuli Jenaka's superior.

"Good, Sir. Uh that's a new joke coming in, sir. I'm telling you to go to Dad's room right now, sir!"

Mandala's a little relieved. The joke is back. But his heart was still filled with a strange feeling. The shadow of Joke being hugged by another man in front of her made her riled up.

"Am I so jealous to see a joke being hugged by another man? I'm starting to like jokes. I was even physically attracted to him. But if jealous...means I already love Jenaka dong?

Mandala gets more anxious when Jenaka doesn't come. Want to call Bu Yuli not good, too flashy taste.

Anxious, angry, restless and jealous. All mixed into one. Time seemed to stop when He waited for the arrival of Joke.

He was only able to breathe a sigh of relief when Mina told him that Jenaka wanted to see him. Joke had just entered the room Mandala had greeted with a question full of inquiry.

"Where have you been, Jen?!" The mandala folded both her hands on her chest. His eyes stared intently at Joke.
