MISS THE NO MAN
Edward's Plan
Kirania looked at the engagement ring in her fingers, as she recalled the jewelry that Dirga had given her as her birthday present some time ago. Soon she got up and took her jewelry box and sat back on the edge of the bed. Slowly Kirania opened the box containing a set of jewels. He reopened the folds of greeting paper that he had deliberately tucked in the box. His hands trembled slightly as he reopened the crumpled paper due to the folds.
For the beloved woman ....
Happy 27th birthday, may happiness always be with you. Hoping for the upcoming anniversary you pass your birthday with the status of my wife.
I never thought we would be reunited even in such a difficult situation. But I believe in one thing, God must have planned something for us with our current reunion. For that I beg you not to go, stay with me, because I do not want to fight for happiness for us in the future.
From the forced man who always loves you
Dirg between Kirania and
Kirania's tears immediately scattered on her smooth face even the paper she held was hit by teardrops. He clutched the paper in his chest with a sob. He felt he had betrayed Dirga. Dirga asked him to stay but he decided to go and choose another man.
Kirania then looked at a set of diamonds. He also remembered Dirga's answer when he asked why he had to give such an expensive gift.
" It's worth it to you, don't argue."
" It doesn't compare to your coming back for me, Rania."
Now that he had chosen to be engaged to Gilang, was it still appropriate for him to keep this gift?

" I hope that your decision to divorce Dirga is well established, Nadia," Edward said as they were both on their way home from Dirga's apartment, after they did not find Dirga in his apartment.
" I don't have a choice, do I?! If only I could choose I wanted to stay afloat," wirily Nadia threw a glance out the window with teary eyes.
" And let your chance at happiness slip away?" ask Edward.
" I hope there are still men who will accept me" said Nadia back
" There must be, you're beautiful and young. I'm sure there'll be a lot of men coming after you, Nadia." Edward tried to encourage Nadia.
Nadia turned to Edward and said, "Then I'm going to back off regularly when I know my past, especially after knowing how Kayla's true origins are." A tear ran down his cheek.
Edward then pulled over his vehicle when he saw Nadia shed tears. And by turning his body slightly, Edward's hand began to wipe away the tears that wet the beautiful woman.
" Why are you being so pessimistic? I'm sure you'll be able to live happily after you've been released from Dirga, you can't be optimistic?" Now Edward's hands cupped Nadia's face.
" I don't know, Do." Nadia parsed Edward's hand to get out of his face and looked straight ahead.
" We'll just go home now. I think you better not meet Dirga first, let me talk to him." Edward income. Because Mama Dirga had called Nadia and said that Dirga was angry, even though he himself did not know what made Dirga angry.
" Yes, I think so too. Especially after he knew the secret all along."
" secret? What secret?" Edward undoes his intention to re-start the car engine.
Nadia gasped, she just realized that she had let go. " Emmm, actually .. It was actually Mama Utami and I who told Kirania to stay away from Dirga six years ago. Therefore they finally broke up and it was never known by Dirga. Dirga considered that at that time it was Kirania who betrayed him by cheating with their lecturer who also liked Kirania. And since then Dirga's attitude has turned cold, indifferent and grumpy." Nadia explains everything to Edward, including hiring someone to keep an eye on what Kirania is doing, until they find out if there are other men who also like the woman. And it turned out that the lecturer from Kirania was also Dirga.
" Oh my God, Nadia. I can't believe your stupidity started six years ago." Edward quipped.
Nadia turned to Edward. " Damn it, you said I was stupid?!" The woman's lips were cut.
Edward laughed at Nadia's protest. " What do you want me to call? Isn't it just fools who are willing to endure for nothing?" cibir Edward returned to make Nadia cluck.
Nadia then took her phone because it sounded.
" Sister, Dirga came here earlier but seemed to be angry. I saw the glare of his eyes were so serene, rich that was holding back emotions. I'm afraid that's until Brother Dirga hurts Brother."
A snorting sound immediately sounded finished Nadia read the contents of the message.
" What's up?" edward asked as he looked at Nadia's sad facial expression after reading the incoming text message. Nadia then showed the contents of the message on her phone screen to Edward.
" Hmmm, you're the next easy target," Edward's words gave Nadia more goosebumps.
Hygiene ...
" Do, can you help me?" Finally after almost a minute of no conversation, Nadia asked both questions and requests.
" Help what? As long as I am in Indonesia, of course I will help" Edward said later.
The answer from Edward immediately made Nadia turn her head back towards the handsome man.
" You're going again?"
" When are you coming back here?" Instantly Nadia's heart was made disturbed to hear the man's plan to be carried out abroad.
" I don't know ..." Edward turned his shoulders.
" Do you want to stay here?" nadia asked nervously looking into Edward's eyes.
" Nobody can stop me from staying here. You know, I like freedom. I don't like having to stay somewhere long enough." At once Nadia felt tight to hear the words from Edward. He then turned his face away, there was a pressure of heat in his eyes but he tried to hold back from dripping when he found out Edward was leaving.
" Oh yeah, you said you wanted to ask me for help, what kind of help?" continued Edward.
Nadia shook her head. " No," he said later.
" Lho, why? Just tell me what can I help you with?"
" We go home, I'm tired."
" Are you sure?"
Nodding Nadia said, "Yes."
" Navy ..." Edward turned on his car engine and drove back to Nadia's home.
There was no talk afterwards between them, although there was also a question Edward only replied Nadia with body movements nodding, shaking her head or twisting her shoulders. Even when Edward's car arrived in the yard of the house where Nadia lived, the woman immediately got out when the car stopped and ran into her house, and then she got into the house, without a word spoken from the mouth of the beautiful woman to Edward who made Edward stunned to see the change in attitude Nadia.
***
Nadia watched the house in front of her from inside the car.
" Is this really his house, Mom?" ask Mr. Jaja, the driver.
" The address is correct as Mr. Billan gave." This morning Nadia tried to contact Mr. Bildan to ask for data about Kirania, especially the address where she lived. After that he and his driver immediately rolled into the city of Kirania.
" But the house looks lonely, Mom."
Nadia then looked around, not far from the house of Kirania she saw there was a camling post and some rickshawmen who went there.
" Sir, ask the rickshaw brother for certainty." Nadia ordered Pak Jaja to come down and ask the people who were there.
" Okay, Mom ..." Pak Jaja then opened the seat belt and went down to some of the rickshawmen. Five minutes later, Mr. Jaja got back into the car.
" Where, sir?" Nadia looks impatient.
" This is his house, but he said that this time the residents are in the market. Sell groceries there, and will return home after Ashar, ma'am." Jaja explained.
" Let's Ashar, huh?" Nadia glanced at her new watch showing it at two in the afternoon. " We'll just wait here, sir," he continued.
" Okay, Mom." Pak Jaja. " I'll just wait outside, Mom. All chatting with the guy in the post there." Mr. Jaja asked permission.
" Yes, later if I need to, I call Mr. Jaja." Nadia gave her permission.
" good, Mom. Thank you ..." Jaja got back out of the car. While Nadia leaned her back against the back of the car seat, breathing in slowly while closing her eyes. He felt a sense of uneasiness that was now creeping in his heart. It was not because he was going to meet with Kirania. Not because of his divorce with Dirga, but because of Edward's planned departure, that's what since yesterday afternoon disturbed his mind.
