A year after Kinara died, Mandala decided to stay in Singapore. He did not want to return to his sweet memories while in Indonesia. Too sweet, until it feels so painful to remember.
Mami Nina changed her decision. He wants Mandala to come home, even Mami Nina to fall sick so missed Mandala.
Papi Prabu though initially angry because Mandala divorced Jenaka in the end was destroyed after knowing that Kinara was sick and died. He, like his wife, wanted Mandala back home.
Mandala returned to Indonesia. He did not immediately look for the existence of Jenaka. Not because no longer in love, but so much shame because it hurt Joke too much.
As much as possible Mandala held back her longing for Joke. But all his defenses were broken when today He saw a shadow as a joke.
Mandala seems not desperate constantly looking for the existence of Joke. Until finally he saw a beautiful girl with a pashmina and a black cardigan who walked towards the car park.
The atmosphere of this Saturday Mall is so dense. In fact, car parks are usually always available in the building, diverted to the next building.
The atmosphere inside the mall until outside the rain no one cares. It rained heavily, making a joke that had to walk into the next building undo his intentions. He stood up while considering what decision to make. Stay standing waiting for the rain to subside, or go back into the mall.
Unlike Jenaka, Mandala who used to think critically and quickly decided to buy an umbrella at one of the souvenir shops that happened to be not so crowded. Mandala took an umbrella and paid for it and chased after the joke.
Not much different from Jenaka, Mandala also parked her car in the next building because the Mall building parking is full. When viewed from the gelagatnya, Jenaka seemed to hesitate to go to the next building because the rain fell so swift.
Finally, the joke gave up. He decided to just break through the rain that fell so he could go home quickly. Rain in Jakarta is a concern. It could be, rain causes puddles and ends up with severe congestion. Joke doesn't want that.
"Bismillah!" Joking about to break through the rain, He stepped his feet but was surprised because He was not hit by wetness.
Joke raised her head. He was very surprised to find that someone was looking at him. Even more surprised to find out who is holding him.
"Hi! I'm Mandala. Can we get acquainted?"
Jokes still can't believe what they're seeing. A handsome guy with a tall and sturdy body was paddling him. The man's stunning smile managed to conjure up a joke until He could not do anything.
Mandala Waving her hands in front of Jenaka's face, her goal is to make jokes immediately aware of her surprise.
"May I know you, beautiful girl with the most adorable dimples in the world?" back Mandala asked the Joke who never answered him.
Jokes can only nod without a sound. Nothing came out of his vocal cords. He was so surprised, did not expect that Mandala was in this Mall and could meet him among the many mall visitors who came.
"Why do you know her while you're coffee together?" bring Mandala.
Jenaka consciousness also began to come He saw Mandala jacket wet because it was paddling him. "His jacket?"
Mandala turned her head, looked at her jacket which was hit by raindrops and looked unconcerned. He asked Jenaka again, "How do we go back to the Mall?"
Do not want Mandala continued wetness because of her, Jenaka also according to. He also returned to the Mall. Mandala folds her umbrella and invites Jenaka into one of the cafes that are not too crowded visitors.
"What message do you want?" mandala asked Jenaka when they were in front of the cashier.
"Caramel frapuchino only. With lots of whipped cream!" answer the joke without hesitation.
"Message two yes, Ma'am. Two cakes too!" mandala said while paying for their order.
"We sit there. I think it's comfortable." The mandala pointed to two empty sofas beside a large window. Joke lowered her head and walked towards the place Mandala pointed at.
Joke stared at Mandala who was waiting for their order and came with a tray filled with coffee and cake. Joke threw away his gaze, unwilling until they looked at each other. It's nothing, Jenaka's heart is pounding very fast. Things he hadn't felt in a long time.
"I know myself, what is his name?" ask Mandala.
Jokes have no power not to smile. "We know each other" he replied.
Mandala returned a joking smile. "That bill. But the way we got to know first is wrong. I will begin by getting to know the right person. I'm Mandala. What's your name?"
The smile on Joke's face disappeared, changing decisiveness. "Jenaka. Name's Joke. Getting to know the truth won't change our bad destiny."
"Bad destiny is created to perfect good destiny. Look at the sky outside." The mandala pointed to the sky that had not yet poured rain. "Before it was dark and it was raining heavily, slowly the black clouds disappeared and the rain stopped. What's left? The clear sky. Just like bad destiny. If the bad clouds have disappeared, it will be seen that he is headed for a good destiny."
The joke finally returned smiling. "Sokosophical!"
"It is not philosophical support, Jenaka who, if you smile, your dimples are very good, even though the fishing boat has a machine, sometimes he has to paddle with a canoe just to enjoy the calm waves and amazing underwater scenery. Philosophical sometimes needed to replace the word.lebay."
Jokes are laughing too. It's been great what Mandala said, uh the edges say that he's better. "It's good that you're more!"
"hey are. I'm the one who's honest. I'm so honest that I even praise your beauty who is now veiled. Just like when we first met."
"Who said? I'm not ready to go in the hijab. I'm just wearing this pashmina to hide from someone. Don't talk about hijab. I know and I understand. I'll wear it later, as soon as possible." said Jenaka before Mandala refuted his words.
"Sama dong's. I also wear this hodie jacket to hide, but from people I don't know but are pretentious." Mandala remembered that her jacket was wet. He took off his jacket and put it on the edge of the sofa.
"Why opened? Later people you don't know but you know can find you!"
"Nothing. I also found the man I was looking for." Mandala took her iced coffee and drank it. "Drink Jen!" bargained for.
"Ah... Aye." Yeah." Joke also drinks her favorite drink. I don't know why it feels better today. Is it because the order is different?
"How are you?" The mandala began to act ordinary. Conversation asking for news of jokes.
"good. I. I'm sorry about Kinara's passing." Jenaka said solemnly.
Mandala nodded. He took out an envelope from his wallet. "This. From Kinara. Read it when you're home."
Joke received the envelope Mandala gave her. "From Kinara?"
Mandala nodded back. "He always remembered you in his last days. He asked me to give it to him when I met you later. I purposely put it in my wallet, because I don't know when I'll see you."
Joke stuffed Mandala's envelope in her bag. "I'll read it at home."
Then the mood turned awkward. A confused Mandala asked what and a joke that did not know what to start a conversation from.
