Traces of Love Joke

Letter from Kinara

In the past, once Jenaka had hoped that Mandala would appreciate every time they were together. Once upon a time, Jenaka had dreamed that Mandala would spend more time with him.

But now?

If He gives time to remain with Mandala, then He will reopen the Pandora's box that He has long closed. He will be stuck back with the scope of the dark past that so bothered him.

When he saw a spring in the middle of a hot and arid desert. Will he be able to refuse it? Yes, he must be able to. For the sake of the piece of heart that he succeeds in uniting.

"Sorry, Brother. I'm going home. It's not that I don't want to take my time for Kak Mandala. I'm just looking after myself. Keeping yourself that has a lot of trouble for people around him just to be able to hold your head up. I'll go home first, brother. Assalamualaikum." Joke also leave Mandala.

Will the Mandala be that easy to give up? Of course not.

"Come together! I also want to go to the parking lot next door. Can you?" Mandala spelling joking steps.

It was impossible to refuse Mandala again, Joke nodded. "By, Brother."

"Jen, would you like to not if next time I invite you to walk?" ask Mandala.

"Where's the road?"

"Where aja. He wants to go straight to the car. But I know you don't want to be directly, want to be invited to muter-muter first of course." guess Mandala.

"That's so crisp!"

"Wildamah! Just crackers make a crunchy fit rather than a paste? Aren't you? How about, don't you?"

Joke walked into his sedan. "We'll see, brother. I'll go home first. Assalamualaikum!" Joke got in the car and left Mandala who could only stand by and watch Jenaka leave.

"You used to salute me Jen before you left. But now? I feel so lost to you, Jen. If only I could repeat it again. I'm not gonna let you go, Jen. Never will." Inner Mandala.

"Where are you going Jen?" ask Panca when she plays at Jenaka's house on Sunday morning. They were in sports together, running around the morning complex near Jenaka's house.

"To Mall. You're the same, right?" ask Joke back.

"What does that mean?"

"I see you, Ca. You followed me, right?" Joke sat on the sidewalk straightening her legs. Remove the dripping sweat with a small towel placed on his neck.

"I... Yes, I follow you. Why did you run away, Jen? More suspicious know not!" panca.

"I'm not running, Ca. I just need to time. I must keep the promises I made in the past."

"With Mandala?" guess Panca.

The joke nodded without hesitation.

"really? You went with Mandala yesterday?" ask Panca not to believe it.

Joke returned. "It actually doesn't go directly. Didn't meet, rather like that."

"Then what are you guys doing?"

"Nothing to say, Ca. What do you think I'm gonna do? I also did not think that I would meet Kak Mandala there. I just made a promise. We once made an appointment to meet when Kak Mandala's favorite movie aired session 2. I didn't think we'd meet when I was coming home."

"Then? She didn't you turn it back?" guess Panca.

"Take me to coffee." Joke suddenly patted her forehead. "Oh my letter! I got a letter from Mandala!"

"What letter?"

"Letter from Kinara. I'm going straight home, Ca! Let's go!" The joke ran home. Inwardly hoping that the letter from Kinara still exists.

The joke went straight into his room. He's looking for the bag where he put Mandala's letter last night.

Panca just waited for the joke outside. Father accompanied him. They are busy chatting.

Joke breathed a sigh of relief when the letter given Kinara He found. If it's lost somehow he doesn't know.

The letter is very simple. Just a plain white envelope with writing in front of it. For Joke.

Joke opened the letter written in Kinara's neat handwriting. I don't know when Kinara wrote it.

Dear Joke,

As I wrote this letter, I kept staring at the man I loved was sound asleep on the sofa. He always took care of me, day and night.

Yes, you must know that the man is a Mandala. The man we both love.

There was sadness in my heart when I saw him so faithful in his tiredness beside me. A bit of sadness surrounded me.

Yes, I am selfish. I realized that his heart was no longer mine. You won, Joke. You have captured his heart.

I was selfish to have separated you. I am indeed the most selfish human being who wants to keep him accompanied in the last moment of my life.

I deserve punishment for the rest of my life, but He assures me that there is always a door of repentance open to those who truly repent. He said that you were a joke that invited him to return to prayer.

I began to follow what He taught me. Prayer even though sitting is no longer able to stand, teach even if only follow in the heart what Mandala says. I did everything you taught him.

Thank you Joke. I found peace for the rest of my life because of you. Even though I realize that I have hurt you, you still leave a trace of kindness in every memory of me.

Joke, if you knew that you were Mandala's first love. Yeah, you. You are the veiled woman with the prettiest dimples that Mandala has been looking for.

I took Mandala from you. I stole it from you and asked you to leave it for me. Please forgive me, joke. So I can go quietly.

Joke, I'm picking up Mandala. I gave you the man I love the most. Please take care of him. Happy him. Like I love him.

Please joke, come back to Mandala. Forgive all my mistakes. Live happily with him.

I pray that you will always be blessed with happiness. Kinara's.

Joke closed the letter Kinara gave. She hugged him tightly while crying.

What kind of fate hurts like this?

What fate would break the hearts of men like this?

"Do I have to give up on destiny or should I fight for my destiny?" inner Joke.

Tok.dok...

The sound of the door of the room Jenaka knocked.

"Jen... It's Mother!"

Joke wiped away her tears quickly. He opened the door for his beloved mother.

Mother goes into the room of Joke. She stared at her daughter who hid the tears behind her sweet smile.

"What's wrong?" ask Mommy.

Joke shook her head without being able to answer a single word.

"Why? Same story Mother." persuade Mother gently.

Joke hugged her mother tightly. "Mother..hu...hu....hu...."

Mother hugged and gently rubbed the back of Joke. "Crying, Son. Take out all your sadness. Don't you shut it all up by yourself."

"Hoo.hu....Mother...."

Pretty long the joke's crying. She shed all her tears. Now he looks calmer.

"It's from Kinara, Bun."

"Nadzara?" Mother was so surprised to hear it. He also read the letter Kinara addressed to his daughter.

"What should the hell be Bun?" ask Joke in despair.

Mother speechless. Mother thought of the answer before finally saying. "You pray istikharah, son. Let God guide what is the best answer for you."
