MISS THE NO MAN
Where to Eat?

Karina noticed the face of Ricky who lately looks a different aura from his sister-in-law's assistant when they were both in the elevator of a large mall. Ricky and Karina are ordered by Dirga to monitor the expo property exhibition there.

Ricky turned towards Karina who was watching him.

" What are you looking at? Don't tell me you're getting interested in me." Ricky pulled a little corner of his lips.

Karina grins. " Mister Ricky is handsome, but I'm not interested in Mr. Ricky." Karina answered confidently.

" Why did you notice me like that?" ask Ricky to investigate.

" I just feel like Mr. Ricky's been looking different lately." Karina expressed her opinion on what she saw from Ricky.

" What's different? My eyes, nose, mouth are still in the same place, right?" Ricky jokingly made Karina laugh.

" Aura Mr. Ricky now looks very happy. Did Mr Ricky find the woman Mr Ricky was looking for?" asked Karina to look.

Ricky turned his head and looked at Karina while developing a thin grin on her lips.

" You're in the same way as my business." Ricky replied indifferently.

" It's Mr. Ricky's own fault for telling me the story of Mr. yesterday, so I'm curious, sir." Karina grinned and Ricky came back just smiling thinly in response.

Karina and Ricky got out of the elevator to the mall hall where the expo exhibition was held.

Karina noticed a man who looked serious paying attention to the explanation of a woman right on the front stand of Angkasa Raya Group. Karina smiled at the face she had always missed.

" Karina, you wait here for a moment. I have a need for a moment." Ricky's voice was a little tight makes the man who was noticed by Karina turned to the origin of Ricky's voice, then moved towards Karina who was facing Ricky.

" Yes, sir." Karina answered.

Karina did not not not not know if currently Gilang, the man she had seen earlier was now watching her. But he deliberately pretended not to be aware of Gilang's presence there.

" Have many been sold, Mother?" Karina chose to ask the sales marketing that was nearby.

" It's almost seventy-five percent, Ma'am." Sales Marketing answered.

" Wow .. is good, huh?" Karina was stunned by the elite housing sales figures belonging to her sister-in-law.

" The mother may want to buy, must be bought with Mr. Ricky tuh." Sales Marketing is sloppy.

" Why ask Mr Ricky?" Karina scrunched her forehead.

" You know, this is Mr. Ricky's girlfriend, right?"

" Mnhq ..." Karina held back her laughter. " Sir, if I want this housing, I will not ask Mr. Ricky, but I immediately ask Kak Dirga," he continued.

" What do you mean Mr Dirga? Mr Dirgantara?" the salesman asked his eyes.

" Well, the one who owns the housing is Brother Dirga."

" Is this Mama ready, Mr Dirga? You know Mr Dirga?" Sales was curious.

" me? I'm nobody, Mommy." Karina flicked her hand into the air. " It's just a brother-in-law doang" he continued relaxed.

" Sister-in-law? You're Mr Dirga's sister-in-law? Then you're Kirania's sister, dong?" asked a man who suddenly appeared before them.

Karina immediately turned to the direction of the voice earlier. He saw a man who was now standing next to him.

" Yes, I'm Rania's sister. You know Rania, right?" Karina responded to the man's question.

" Yes, I used to be with Rania, a division in Marketing. Introduce me Pandu." Pandu extended his hand introducing himself to Karina.

" Silk." Karina welcomed the man's hand.

" Sister sister is equally beautiful as it turns out." Pandu did not hesitate to praise the beauty of Karina and Kirania.

" How is her brother, this is his sister." Karina joking while chuckling. He forgot if there was a pair of eyes that had been watching his movements. Especially when a man approached and even looked familiar talking to Karina at once he snorted in annoyance.

" What's up, sir? Is there anything less pleasing?" The woman who was explaining to Gilang immediately responded.

" Is there anything less clear, sir?" ask the woman.

" That's enough, thank you." Gilang immediately got up and wanted to move from the property stand and at that time. Karina did the same thing because she wanted to go to the toilet.

Karina got up and twisted her body until now she and Gilang were facing each other with a distance of about three meters and their views intertwined for a while before finally Karina started to say hello.

" Hi, Brother Gilang ... " As usual Karina who has a jolly nature greets Gilang kindly. " Sister Gilang is here too?" ask Karina.

" Yes." Yeah." Gilang answered briefly.

The atmosphere around them felt stiff.

Ddrrtt ddrrtt.

The sound of the cell phone broke the stiff atmosphere between Gilang and Karina. Karina immediately grabbed her phone.

" Hello, yes, sir?" Karina answered a phone call from Ricky.

" Rin, I'll probably be a long time. If you're done and you want to go home, you go home first, don't wait for me."

" Oh, fine, sir. I'll go home alone then."

" Be careful when you go home by yourself."

Karina smiled at Ricky's advice. I don't know why she felt like Ricky cared so much about her. But it is not the concern of an adult man towards an adult woman because of attraction. But more a sense of concern for a brother against his sister. Especially since he knows Ricky's past story about the woman he once dined.

" Sister, I'll excuse you first." Karina said goodbye to Gilang who somehow still stood there..

Gilang only gave a small nod, before long he noticed Karina's back walking away from him.

***

Karina came out of the woman's toilet but her steps stopped when she saw Gilang standing in front of the toilet.

" Sister Gilang wants to go to the toilet too?" asked Karina while developing her smile to make the woman's face more beautiful.

" Yes." Yeah." He returned only a short answer.

" Yes I've been first, brother." Kirania walked past Gilang.

" Your boyfriend left you?" ask Gilang in a cold tone.

Karina stopped her steps hearing Gilang's words.

" He's not my lover, brother. He's Dirga's assistant." Karina continued to say in a relaxed tone.

" I'm sorry, Brother." Karina then continued her steps leaving Gilang.

" Have you had lunch?"

Karina again stopped her steps while rounding her eyes. A smile came back from the corner of his lips. He did not turn his body just turned his head and said, "If I have not eaten, would Brother Gilang buy me lunch?"

" Where do you want to eat?"

It feels like meeting the Maghrib Adhan during the fasting month, Karina's eyeballs are increasingly wide-eyed when she gets a Gilang question that can be interpreted as a solicitation. It could no longer be described the feeling of his heart at this moment. It must have felt like there were thousands of flower petals blooming there.
