Mandala's been waiting for Jenaka ever since at the coffee shop. He even almost finished the cup of coffee that he ordered but Jenaka never came.
There is anxiety in the Mandala. Will the joke come or not? Or did the joke break his promise?
Mandala has asked Mami Nina for help to ask permission from Mother and Father so that Jenaka can meet Mami Nina who reasoned to be in Jakarta. All just so Mandala can walk with Joke. The permit is hard. You have to lie first.
Mandala looked at the watch in her hand. At 9am, they made the 8 o'clock appointment. Mandala has even been in the coffee shop since half-time at 8am.
After the morning prayers, Mandala continued to run on the treadmill and take a shower. Usually every weekend he goes back to sleep, this time is different. The weekend is full of excitement. Yeah, he'll walk alone with a joke.
Two years already. It's been a long time. Mandala really misses her time together with Jenaka first. Watching, walking, eating together. Discuss movies watched together, have friends again when all his friends just want to use it.
A sedan car was seen entering the car park. Mandala recognizes Jenaka's new car. He also ordered Jenaka's favorite iced coffee.
"Assynnya!" hello Jenaka who this time wearing a long brown coat with black trousers and black blouse in it. Her hair was pinched upside down, featuring the neckline of her once so seductive Mandala faith.
How was it first? Is it not now?
Of course Mandalas are also tempted. Very tempted even. But Mandala was determined to hold herself back. Don't want jokes even more away from him.
"Waalaikumsalam Love!" replied Mandala with a big smile.
"Th lebai!" The joke sits in front of the Mandala. "It's mine, right?" without waiting for Mandala's answer, Jenaka sipped her favorite drink.
"If I give poison how? Just have a drink!" mandala Chirps. "But I love the poison of love anyway, don't make me die just so klepek-klepek aja!" mandala Goda.
"God... I started fighting him. I'm sure you weren't poisoned. Who will Mandala's brother be uber-uber besides me? There's no, is there?"
Mandala laughed hearing a very clever joke reversing her words. "The smarter you are Jen. I'm worried about your ability to lick your tongue. Here I kiss! Come forward dikit!"
"Yuhh... What am I a girl? I'm just the same as my husband doang ya! Same other guy!"
"Ouch.so very sweet. So you want to rush to get married again!"
"Start the topic there again. Where are you going? Do you want to hang out here?" ask Joke. He sipped his coffee.
"No! Whose car are we going to use? Me or you?" ask Mandala.
"Yes, it's Mandala's expensive car!" answer the joke.
"Ready. Comeing! Bring me your drink!" Jenaka also followed Mandala to Range Rover car parked near his car.
Mandala opened the door for Jenaka then walked to the other side. "I know why you chose my car? The glass is a bit dark, right? So if we don't look, right?"
"But! What kind of thinking is that? Compared to the car I would rather enjoy Kak Mandala's car. Oh yes, Kak Mandala why not use a sports car anyway? Don't have any money to buy it? Lose the same Panca, the car is cool!" fishing Pins Joke.
Mandala runs her car out of the coffee shop parking lot. Do not forget to give tips to parking guards who smile to see Mandala spending a hundred thousand dollars. "Take my girlfriend's car, sir!"
"Ready, Boss!" directly called the Boss just because of the love of a hundred thousand dong. The rich are free...
"Don't talk to me about money, Jen. I'm not the Mandala I was kayaking before. Big tenders have a lot that I get, never depend on Papi again. I don't like to show off, Jen. A car for me is comfortable and covers my needs. It can be taken out of town and the engine is okay. If sports cars are taken out of town especially the corners even nusahin. I prefer Jeep cars. If again there is work in a place that is difficult there is no problem."
Joke nodded nodding at Mandala's explanation. Makes sense according to him. Cars are not about coolness but about functionality.
"Who said? Mandala is also a showman. Yesterday Kak Mandala sent a bouquet of flowers a lot. Want to show off to the others?"
Mandala smiled again. "If you count, the number of flower stalks I send is 730. Equivalent to two years I don't love you flowers. Consider it to redeem two years I'm not on your side."
Joke speechless. He didn't count it. So there is the meaning of the many flower bouquets that Mandala sends. "I'm sorry I didn't count." joked.
"Nothing. Actually I don't want to say. That's proof that I'm willing to make up for my two years." Mandala turned her car into the cemetery.
"Who? How come?" ask Joke wonder.
"Where do you think I'm going to take you? The mall? Star hotels? Luxury restaurant?" Mandala parked her car in the parking lot. He opened the back door and pulled out a bouquet of flowers that he had prepared beforehand.
"Nadzara?" guess the joke got out of the car.
Mandala nodded. "Yes. Come on!"
"But I-" Joke doesn't carry a veil. Regretting that she left not wearing a hijab.
Mandala knows what a joke is. He opened the back door of his car. Remove a pashmina from the plastic and a brooch.
Mandala approaches Jenaka. "Please hold!" Mandala gives flower bucket to Jenaka.
Joke according to him. Mandala then put on a pashmina covering Jenaka's hair. Fortunately, his hair was covered in a pincher. With shrewd Mandala put on Jenaka hijab by pinning the brooch so that the pashminnya neat. "Udah is beautiful now." praise Mandala.
Joke is embarrassed.
"Come on!" Mandala grabs Jenaka's hand and takes her into the cemetery area but Jenaka lets go of Mandala's handrails and chooses to walk on her own.
The joke just found out that Kinara was buried in Indonesia. Joke thinks Kinara is buried in Singapore.
They passed through several tombs and stopped at three adjacent land steps.
"Assalamualaikum Nara!" sapa Mandala's. Joke follows Mandala who crouches beside the tomb. He guarantees every prayer that the Mandala says.
The Eye of Joke read the inscription on the tombstone. Jenaka was sure that the two people who were next to Kinara's tombstone were both her parents.
"So Kinara is an orphan?" inner Joke.
"Nara, I've come with a joke. Sorry I can just bring a joke now. You must be happy that joke can come? Sorry if I kept my promise for so long. Hope you can calm down there." Mandala placed a bouquet of flowers on top of Kinara's tomb.
"Here, Jen!" Mandala brings Jenaka closer. Joke also according. "Say hi same Kinara."
"Hi Nara's. I came! Sorry just came by now. I read a letter from you. Hope you can calm down there. I'm sorry that I hurt you so much all this time." said Jenaka. He wiped away a single tear that escaped from his eye.
"Nara, I'm giving your word to a joke." Joke looked at Mandala who reached into her jacket pocket. Mandala pulled out a box. Jewelry box.
"It's Kinara's for you, Jen." Mandala handed over the jewelry box she held to Jenaka. "Receive it! Kinara left all her jewelry to you."
Joke was surprised to hear what Mandala said. "It's purely Kinara's gift. Accept it."
