If I Could Choose
71.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, precisely at the cafe where Manda and Agni will meet with LT customers, the atmosphere is quite conducive, there is nothing to worry about, he said, even Manda had finished everything well.
" Sir Agni, it means everything is finished! so I can continue to go straight home, because mas Lio has sent Mr. Joko to take me home. No papers for me to sign or me to study?" ask Manda with the spirit of 45. basically this Manda really likes to learn, likes to read, and likes new things.
" It's so bad, Miss Manda, last night's allotment was good?" seduced Agni to Manda, who suddenly made Manda embarrassed. Indeed Agni is married and has 1 child, so it is only natural that he said vulgarly enough.
" Well, this is cooking in the open like this, I'm so ashamed" Manda said, patting Mbak Agni's arm slowly.
" Halah is married while still shy, Oh yes ding I forgot you guys were just married, so the newlyweds' spirit is still very tacky, the pantesan is still shy." goda Ma'am Agni again.
" Already ah, embarrassed that Mr. Joko also heard, because he was already nyamperin here. Surely Mas Lio told Mr. Joko to immediately take me to the hotel where Mas Lio met his client" said Manda while hurriedly cleaning the bag and the files he had to bring.
" That Ms. Manda who is already impatient, wants to see Mr. Lio immediately, where he meets at the hotel again, it could be an event kangen.Ha ha ha auhh!" agni shouted in pain as her waist was pinched by Manda. But even though she was in pain, Agni was still determined to tease newlyweds like Manda and Lio.
" Issshhh, ah I want to go home, You see Mbak Agni again fashion nyebelin." sulked Manda with a spoiled tone. Then Manda handed over her bag and files to be carried by Mr. Joko. Then Manda passed by leaving Agni who was still laughing out loud because she saw Manda's plain red face. But Agni knew that Manda could not be angry just because she was seduced, Agni also knew that Manda was only embarrassed because of her vulgar speech.
" Where does Manda want to be taken?" ask Joko politely.
" To the hotel where Mas Lio met his client, Mr. Joko knows right?" asked Manda who suddenly felt a bad feeling.
" Yes I know Mbak, it is a hotel given by young master Saka to mbak Alana." explained Mr. Joko. emang Pak Joko has been with Saka for decades, even since Saka was a child. So obviously Mr. Joko knows everything about the Perdana family.
" Yes sir, do not know why my feelings are not good today.I think there is something that will happen that" said Manda who started his outpouring of heart to Mr. Joko. Because he felt that Mr. Joko this must be trustworthy.
" Mom, in my experience the woman's feeling is very sharp, it could be there will be something, but if I can suggest the same Manda, Manda said, whatever will happen later Manda must be patient because according to my experience usually something will happen, but patience is also needed so that we can know who is really the root of the problem. Sorry you know if I had the effect of patronizing, my understanding is old, there have been many experiences even Irsyana's mother was also so. The Prime family knew that there were many enemies. So Mama Manda must patiently examine every problem with a cold mind, learn from the experience of Ibu Irsyana." explained Mr. Joko patiently and painstakingly, Manda liked the way Pak Joko explained to him, Manda liked the way he explained to her, very fatherly, the effect is nurturing and side-heavy.
" Is that Mr Joko? Later take me to the hotel where Mas Lio met his client yes, I mean later Joko sir came in. because yesterday mas Lio has warned repeatedly so that I am careful, I think, maybe this is also part of my caution, right he said Mr. Joko can martial arts, so later please help me yes" said Manda while looking out the car window, his heart as if squeezed. Manda doesn't know why he is like this. He just tried to calm his heart with dhikr and pray.
" Beres mbak!! Mr. Lio's order was yes to be told to supervise Manda's mother, even if Mnda mbak want to go to the toilet also I have to guard in front of the door" said Mr. Joko straightforwardly. Mr. Joko's words suddenly made Manda turn and laugh, because even in this condition Lio is still a possessive Lio.
" Yes, sir!! I know that Mr. Joko ga may be boong" said Manda with the rest of the laughter that still accompanies.
" Now dong mbak.don't be grim. All those problems must have a way out. Relax, anyway I will help Manda" said Mr. Joko with his calming style. Making Manda nod and immediately return to the view outside the car window and return to pray in heart and dhikr. He prepares his heart for the worst.
" We have arrived, ma'am!! Let me take you to see Mr. Lio" said Mr. Joko while removing his seatbelt. While Manda only carries himself and attach to the shoulder, his clutch bag containing his cellphone and wallet only.
Manda waited for Mr. Joko to open the door of the seat. Then go down and walk side by side with Mr. Joko to get into the lobby and want to ask the reception, where is the location of Lio's meeting?
Manda's plan she will surprise her husband, but what power, she and Joko see when entering the lobby especially makes her and Joko sir surprised to celebrate.
Mr. Joko and Manda can only look at. Especially Manda who was already unable to say the word. It turns out this is what makes his feelings and heart feel squeezed, and sick from earlier.
They could only let the vision pass, with the initiative to follow him from behind.
Honestly, it was too much pain for Manda when she saw her husband in the arms of a beautiful woman who put herself and her husband at odds. But Mr. Joko gave him a sign that he was patient first and made him remember the story of Mr. Joko earlier that the mother weighed all things first before getting angry or making decisions that would harm all parties.
Manda and Mr. Joko, follow a couple hugging who may lead to a hotel room. Mr. Joko sees the irregularity in Lio and codes Manda to pay attention. But as they walked to follow Lio, there was a hand that prevented Manda from going to follow Lio.
" You guys??"
