MISS THE NO MAN
Wait for the Play Date

Karina twisted her body and now faced Gilang. The sentence connotes the invitation spoken by Gilang like the sun that rises after a prolonged rainy season.

" Sister Gilang intends to take me?" asked Karina with a straightforward sentence when in her heart she wanted to be boxed with joy.

" If you don't mind" said Gilang.

" Isn't it Gilang's own sister who has been objecting to being close to me?" There was a tone of satire in the question that Karina was asking.

Gilang sighed and said, "If you don't want to, it's okay .." continued Gilang. She was sure that Karina would change her mind and would not reject her invitation.

" Yes, I don't want to be treated half-heartedly either." Karina turned her body back and moved her legs.

" I'm serious ...!" exclaiming Gilang made Karina's steps finally stop. Gilang then approached Karina to stand up because Karina deliberately wanted to see the seriousness of the man with just a silent flinch and did not turn her head towards Gilang.

" I seriously want to take you to lunch, and not because of force," said Gilang who has now stood up while staring fixedly at the face of Karina who looks ordinary, there was absolutely no look on the woman's happy face when she got her lunch invitation.

Actually without Gilang know, actually Karina's heart was pounding very fast, her heart seemed to flowery at this time.

" Hmmm, okay if indeed Brother Gilang forced." Karina answered while raising her shoulders and putting on a flat face even though it felt like she wanted to widen a smile.

" Oh yeah, about what happened at the club last night, what's your current condition?" asked Gilang when they were both at the fast food restaurant in the mall.

" I'm fine, brother. Thank you for your help Gilang that night." Karina again expressed her gratitude to the helper man who was currently in front of her.

" Why were you there that night?"

Karina looked at Gilang, whether the man before her did not realize that the man was the cause of his heart restlessness to make himself thrown into the entertainment place.

" I-I just want to unwind." Karina answered at that.

" Did your job make you too tired?"

" No, Brother. How could Brother Dirga have given me such a hard job." Karina quickly refused.

" Are you moving to Jakarta because of me?"

" No, really." Karina answered quickly. " I came here because Dirga asked me to accompany Ms. Rania, so that Ms. Rania was not saturated in the office." Karina tells her the reason for her in Jakarta. He did not say if another reason was because Dirga did not want himself to pursue Gilang like yesterday.

" Your brother still works?" Gilang's forehead wrinkled upon hearing Karina's explanation.

" Where may Ms. Rania work, Dirga's sister treats Mbak Rania like the Princess, went to the office just to accompany Kak Dirga alone without being allowed to touch any work." Karina explained the activities her brother did during her time as a wife Dirgantara.

Gilang snorted hearing how Dirga treated Kirania.

" Sorry, Brother. I didn't mean to take that matter." Karina felt that Gilang was slightly affected by her words earlier.

" It's okay ...."

" Oh yeah, Milang's girlfriend who didn't come here yesterday?" Karina deliberately fished for Gilang to tell her who the woman whom Gilang had invited to lunch.

" Friend?" Gilang knitted his eyebrows together feeling he did not understand what Karina meant.

" Yes, the woman I met at the restaurant at the time." Karina tried to remind Gilang.

" Oh, he's just an old friend of mine." Gilang.

" Oh ..." Although only that word came out of his mouth but in his heart of course he cheered happily.

" I often saw you with the man you were with. You seem to be very close to him."

" Yes, because I work with Mr. Ricky. But between us it's okay. He's looking for a woman from his past." Karina flicked her hand into the air.

" Who are you going to the office with?" Gilang asked because he had heard Karina say to the person on the phone going home alone.

" I'll take an online taxi, brother."

Karina's eyeballs rounded when she heard that Gilang wanted to drive her home to the office.

" Emm, no, brother. I don't want to bother Gilang." Karina really carried out her strategy. He did not want to look too enthusiastic about accepting Gilang's invitation.

" It's okay, I also happen to be going to headquarter. Not far from your sister-in-law's office."

" Okay, if Gilang doesn't mind." Karina showed off her sweet smile, making Gilang open her eyes. Perhaps all this time his great love for Kirania closed his eyes to other women including Karina. And this time he just realized that the sister of the woman he once loved was also has its own charm. Moreover, accidentally he had seen the makeup of a woman's body in front of him at this time.

Kirania noticed Karina who had seen her own smile. He put the back of his hand against his sister's forehead.

" Iiihh ... Why is Ma'am holding my forehead?" asked Karina to shake her brother's hand.

" Mom should ask you why? From that smile to myself? You're with Mr. Ricky, aren't you?" Kirania guessed that her sister was dating her husband's assistant.

" God, why do you think that?" Karina quickly dismissed her brother's guess.

" You see, for a few days, Mr. Ricky also looks different." Kirania who turned out to be aware of Ricky's change also directly connected to Karina's current state.

" Cieee, Ms. Rania secretly noticed Mr. Ricky too, be aware that Kak Dirga knows, later you can be angry with this dear brother's sister." Karina deliberately teased her brother.

" What the hell are you." Kirania hit his sister's arm slowly.

Karina laughed at her brother's reaction.

" Don't you know that Mr Ricky is looking for a woman from his past?"

Kirania frowned at Karina's words.

" Women of the past?"

" Yes, did Brother Dirga never tell the same sister Rania about the past Mr Ricky?"

" Sister never told me anything about Mr. Ricky. But I guess my brother doesn't know about it either. Brother even wants to match you with Mr. Ricky." Kirania tells Karina her husband's plan.

" what?? You want to set me up with Mr Ricky?" Karina gasped knowing the intentions of her sister-in-law who wanted to match her.

" Yes, because brother doesn't want you to keep chasing after Gilang." Kirania honestly said the reason Dirga wanted to match Karina with Ricky.

" Geez, up to Brother Dirga? Kak Dirga is afraid his wife is glimpsed continue with Kak Gilang if I become the same Kak Gilang, yes?" Karina chuckles.

" Yes but maybe it's better, Deck. Mbak can not imagine if you are made with Kak Gilang," said Kirania.

" Then from now on Maak must prepare from now on if Kak Gilang and Kak Dirga become in-laws." Karina grins.

" You mean?" Kirania was suspicious of her sister's words.

" So wait for the date of the game" said Karina as she passed from the presence of Kirania who was made curious by the words of Karina earlier.
