Traces of Love Joke

Occasions

"Jen, I want to talk to you!" panca said after a few days he harbored his own frustration.

"Judah, just talk." Joke pulled the chair in front of Panca and sat down. Staring at Panca lekat. I don't know what he's going to talk about.

"I know that buckets and food were sent to you before, not because you won the race. From Mandala, right?"

"No, Ca. That's-"

"I know, Jen. You can't lie to me. I can tell when you're lying, when you're honest. We've been friends a long time, Jen. You're lying."

Joke speechless. Admitting his mistake for lying to Panca.

"See? I know you lied, right? Why aren't you honest with me? Is Mandala threatening you?"

Joke surprised. Do you know where Panca is when Mandala threatens him?

"Truly ngancem you? Ngancem what? Same story as me! Let me have her!"

Panca looks already emotional. If Joke is honest, it doesn't solve the problem. In fact, there will be other problems that are much bigger.

"No crap, Ca. You just calm down. If I were to be judged, my life would not be calm, right? I am relaxing on the beach. Biasa, Kak Mandala is aja. Send flowers and gifts. But I will not send macem-macem again. You calm down." Joke calms Panca.

"Why? Has his wish been fulfilled?" Joke until it is difficult to swallow the saliva. Again Panca could guess the contents of his heart. How come?

"That-"

"What is Mandala's wish?" Panca doesn't let jokes get along. "If you gave Mandala a chance, why don't you give me a chance, Jen."

"I-i"

"Jen, you know that I've always loved you. I love you, Jen. One regret in my life is letting you marry Mandala. Now you've separated from him. Is it fair that you still open your heart to Mandala but close your heart to me?"

Joke lowered her head, unable to look Panca in the eye. Guilt overcame him. Jokingly thinking whether the decision he will take is right or not.

"alright. I'll give you a chance. But if I still can't open my heart to you, I don't want our relationship to drift apart and stretch. I want us to stay friendly." Now Joke dare to lift her face and look into Panca's eyes. "I'm sorry that I'm mean and selfish, but the one thing I'm most afraid of in life is losing you as my best friend."

That's right what Joke says. It would be very difficult to be mediocre if Panca's struggle failed. "I accept your terms, Jen. I can't imagine life without you either. I've seen you with other people and I can still live my life despite the pain. But losing you? I've never been and never will be, Jen."

Smiling jokes. "Me too, Ca. You're a good man. One more, Ca. I'm just being nice to Mandala. Not giving a chance. Maybe in your eyes, I gave it a chance. You know, my heart still holds a lot of wounds. Although it was fate that made me and Mandala part ways, there are still traces of heartache here." Joke pointed at his chest.

"Sorry Jen for my prejudice. I saw you so close to Mandala. I thought-"

Joke cuts Panca's word. "Sometimes what we see is not necessarily the truth. Just like seeing a cat in a sack, it is uncertain and not necessarily in it is a cat. I'm back at my place again, Ca."

Panca smiled at the joke. If Jenaka has not given Mandala a chance, then he still has a chance. "If the Mandala starts yesterday, then I will start now and leapfrog its success. Just look!" panca Inner.

Tonight the moon shines brightly. The stars that surround it make the night sky so luminous.

Joke is sitting at the window, the thing that if Mother and Father know then the nagging that will Joke find. Jokes don't care. He needs fresh air.

Seeing the beautiful night scenery and the cool night air, makes Joke can think clearly.

"Think what, Jen?" asked Juna who came without knocking on the door and was already sitting on the bed of Joke.

"Mind your heart, Juni."

"Thinking heart? Your heart or the heart of a guy who likes you, Jen?"

"Everything. Why is Jun my love story so sad? Why does my marriage have to end in divorce?" A joke is more like asking yourself than asking Juna.

"Yes... Because you want a divorce. Forgot it? The question is, why didn't you choose to stay? You know, Kinara is sick. You can be patient but why give up?"

"I-i"

"The west is like this, you already know in front of the bush will pass through many sharp thorns. You are not trying to wear boots and raincoats but you instead choose another way so as not to hurt your heart. You choose to leave the problem just to keep your own feelings. You reasoned that it was all Kinara's request. Though actually you divorced because you are afraid of getting hurt because Mandala will pay more attention to Kinara than you. Is that right, isn't it?"

Joke wiped away the tears that had escaped from her eyes. "You're right, Jun. I was too cowardly at the time."

"I'm not going to question your decision, Jen. That's your right. You can leave the battlefield to save the broken heart. But have you ever thought how about being in the Mandala position?"

Joke was surprised by Juna's words. "Loh, you don't agree that I'm with Mandala. Why are you even like defending Brother Mandala and cornering me?"

"I'm just thinking on both sides, Jen. I don't like it when Mandalas do polygamy. But I didn't like it more when he gave you back to Dad. I'm your twin, Jen. I know that you love Mandala very much. I also know that Mandala loves you so much because...."

"Because what?"

"Because I always see him waiting for you at the stop near Aunt Di's house."

"Seriously?"

Juna nodded. "He didn't recognize me because I was wearing a full face helmet. I waited for my friend at the stop and heard the Mandala conversation with her friend Di... Didi. Yes, Didi."

"Yes, that's her best friend Kak Mandala. How is Jun?" Joke was curious and approached Juna sitting on his bed.

"Mandala said to her friend that she was waiting for a veiled girl with the adorable dimples. Prett adorable! Where's the adorable carpenters from?" juna Ledek.

The plot!

"Tell the story, don't be half. The real!" jenaka said that stuck Juna's head until Juna complained of pain.

"Yes. yeah... Sick tau! Yes, anyway. Several times I've been there he still likes to hang out. If only he knew you were his wife, you must be ending your story is not as tragic now."

Joke scrunched her forehead. "So you're Mandala's team or Panca's team?"

"I? I'm the only one who can be happy with you, Jen. One more...."

"One more what?"

"Whoever your soul mate, he must be kind and loyal to me. Watch out for stingy ha.ha... "

"Based on sister matre!!!"

Joke and Juna throw pillows at each other until they get tired. "Udah ah Jen's. Forgive me!"

"Don't eat it!"

"Eh but Jen, if you're told to choose who to choose?" ask Juna.

Joke shrugged both of his shoulders. "Either. If Panca, I'm the same he's been in office for a long time. If Mandala, our obstacles must be heavy in the future. I'm confused which one to choose."

"I know who Jen you chose?!"

"Who?" ask Jena curiously. Who knows if Juna's idea is more brilliant.

"Pick Kang Maman who sells chicken pecel in front of the complex, widower also Jen. Macho again ha.ha.ha.ha..."

"Yunaaaaaaaa!!!!"

Hi All....

I'm gonna straighten this out a little bit. Joke is coquettish and seems a bit cheap only when married with Mandala only. When they divorced, Jenaka just trying to keep the line of the divine. Is it the same as cheap? Big no yes! This story is not over yet, so keep following ya 😁.

Oh yes, I want to promote the work of a cool author. Also stop by..
