Traces of Love Joke

Restaurant Full of Memories

Today the joke looks so pretty. He was wearing a striped dress with hair that he left beautifully out. Minimalist makeup adds to her beauty level.

On the way, Joke was humming along to the rhythm of the music from the radio. Every now and then his gaze looked out at the window to see what was outside.

Joke did not ask Panca where to go. He just sat quietly following Panca's instructions. Sunday was more crowded than Saturday. The streets have a lot of traffic jams here and there because everyone who walks spends their holidays.

Is it possible because yesterday's route with now is different? If yesterday, Mandala took Jenaka to the outskirts of Jakarta while if today, Panca actually invited Jenaka to the city center.

Panca's car turned towards a 5-star hotel. The hotel where Jenaka first met Mandala. Panca takes Jenaka to a restaurant filled with memories of her past.

If only Panca knew that the restaurant was a restaurant where Jenaka and Mandala were first betrothed, maybe Panca would undo her intention to invite Jenaka to the restaurant. Panca, who did not know that there was a history in the restaurant, with a smile on her face, invited Jenaka to come in and sit in the place he had ordered.

"What do you want, Jen?" ask Panca.

"What aja, Ca. I'll follow what your order is." replied Joke.

Panca then chose a food menu that he thought was very good. Tell the waiter what the order is and wait until their order comes.

"Do you like this restaurant?"

"Actually the restaurant is nice, classy. But I don't like the atmosphere." The mood Jenaka means is the atmosphere when he remembers events in the past.

"Mood? Oh, must be because it's crowded here again, huh? It is difficult to make a reservation at this hotel during the weekend. Fortunately I can."

"A.s..."

"Yes why?"

"I was first betrothed to Kak Mandala at this hotel."

"Then? No problem dong."

"I also got married in this hotel, Ca." Jenaka said bluntly.

Panca. "So, did I choose the wrong restaurant?"

Joke shakes her head. "Not wrong. No problem either. It's all just the past."

"Jen, honestly I don't have much experience in dating. In Amrik, we dated freely. I don't embrace the free. Only there, dating can be done even without feeling."

"Then?"

"I don't want to be like that." Panca reached into a jewelry box in her pocket. "I want us to date after we get married,"

Degs... The meal event turned into a proposal event in an instant.

"Do you want us to date after marriage, Jen? I know who owns your heart. I know who has been your idol all along. But let me, who has been idolizing you to be your husband Jen. You want to take my bet?" Panca opened a jewelry box, inside which was a very beautiful diamond ring. Looks shiny exposed to light reflections from the spotlight.

Joke speechless. Within two days, two men gave her jewelry. The first one gives the jewelry of the inheritance of his deceased wife. The second provides jewelry by offering a loveless wedding. Which one to choose.

"Ca, you said I should give you a chance. Why are you even asking for more? L'm... I'm afraid to hurt you, Ca."

Panca smile. "I know Jen. You love me so much. When many bully me, you put your body to my defense. You who are always loyal are friends with me. You always keep my feelings in check like I'm a shatterproof ceramic,"

"Now, I've changed, Jen. I was strong. I am independent. I am no longer a ceramic but a steel. You don't have to take care of me anymore, let me take care of you."

The joke went silent again. It was a very difficult decision in his life. To him, Panca was just a friend that he loved. No more than that.

But everything changed. Panca. Want more than just a relationship. Will Jenaka be able to go through a marriage without love?

Meanwhile, in the same place, Mandala and Mami Nina come to the hotel restaurant that has also been booked Mandala.

"Sure dong, Mi. We haven't been both long. Once upon a time, Mami was Mandala's boyfriend. Don't stick around the same Papi. Tau no Mi, Papi was one of the entrepreneurs who never cheated. Faithful to his wife."

"hey are. Papi's got a beautiful Mami like this how can you look at other women?" reply Mami full of confidence.

"It's not because of that either, Mi. Because Mami ngintilin Papi continues to be Papi can not wart ha..ha.ha.ha..."

"Rese is a child! Mami pinch ya!" Mandala and Mami Nina were laughing when they came inside the restaurant.

Mandala embraces Mami Nina's shoulder. It was seen how much Mandala loved her mother. They sit in the middle.

Mandala is looking at the menu and intends to choose one of the menus that are good for Mami. Meanwhile, Mami Nina was looking at the scenery around the restaurant. His eyes were round to find who He saw near the Window. A joke?

"The"ala! You see that! Isn't that a joke?" show Mami Nina.

Mandala turned her gaze from the menu book and followed the direction Mami Nina pointed at. Degs... Mami Nina is right. It was a joke, and.... Penta.

"The"ala! Is that a joke? How does she hold a jewelry box? Wouldn't he want to propose a joke? How's this Mandala?" said Mami Nina who looked panicked.

Mandala also saw that Panca was holding a jewelry box. She thinks the same as Mami Nina.

"Mam, stop. Just leave them!" said Mandala who now turned the body does not want to see Jenaka and Panca again.

"What are you giving up on, Dala? You must fight for your love dong! The hell time you just shut up to see a joke taken by another guy?! Can't do that! Mami doesn't want Mami's favorite daughter-in-law taken by the others!" Mami Nina looks emotional. He stood up and approached the joke.

"Mam, don't dong! Just yesterday!" Mandala prevents her Mammya but Mami Nina remains calm with her stance.

"You just stay quiet here! Let Mami step in! Anyway, Mami does not want Joke captured by another man!" Mami Nina really did what she wanted.

Mami Nina approached the Jenaka table and greeted him. "Jenaka?"

Jenaka was very surprised to meet his former in-laws. "Mommy? Who's the same, Mi?" Joke wakes up from her seat and makes conversation with Mami Nina.

Panca also politely shakes hands with Mami Nina who looks at her with dislike that Mami Nina cannot hide.

"Who's mom?" ask Joke again because Mami Nina never answered him, just looking at Panca with a bitter look.

Mami Nina pointed at her desk. There Mandala was smiling when she was appointed Mami.

Now the joke feels bad. She knew Mami Nina was approaching her when Panca proposed to her. He knows what Mami Nina's goal is.

"Mam, I don't know him yet. It's Panca."

Mami Nina glanced with a cynical look at the man who was about to snatch the Joke from her son.

"Oh... Who are you, Jen?"

"Fascals... Her... My future husband, Mi." replied Jokingly. His words made Panca and Mami Nina surprised.

"Prospective husband?"
