Dirga immediately grabbed his phone that had been slammed Kirania, and soon followed the steps of Kirania who had somehow walked to where, because he did not return to the store of his parents.
" Rania wait ...!!" dirga shouted to try to stop Kirania's quick steps, but the woman did not bully him.
" Sin ...!" Dirga clasped Kirania's arm as she managed to catch up with the woman's step.
" Dele go!!" Kirania threw out Dirga's hand which grabbed her arm. " What do you want, anyway? Are you not satisfied with me? You still aren't content to embarrass me?!" hardik Kirania with explosive emotions in the chest. Kirania did not even realize that some of the people around her were watching them, like a scene of a pair of lovers fighting.
" Ran, I'm sorry ...."
" I don't need your apology, I'm just asking you to stay away from me. Let me return to a quiet life without your interruption." Kirania wiped away her tears that were without any mercy and kept falling on her cheeks.
" Ran, I'm asking you to give me a chance ...."
" Your chance is up and I'm tired of hearing you talk about it. And any chance for what? So that you can resolve your curiosity to me? You're still not satisfied playing me?!" Kirania again sobbed, the tightness of feeling in her chest had to let out all sorts of grunts in her heart.
" I'm not playing you, Ran. I love you."
" Lied!! You never loved me! You never liked me! You just assume I'm your bet!" The more Kirania spoke the more people noticed the two of them.
" We're talking somewhere else, huh? Not good to see a lot of people." Dirga's speech made Kirania aware if she was currently in a public place. At that instant Kirania gasped to find the people who were watching her. Emotions had already sealed his senses, making him instantly bow his head in embarrassment.
" Have you eaten? I'm so hungry, we'll talk while we eat, okay?" Dirga took out a handkerchief from her pants pocket then wiped the tears on Kirania's cheeks. But immediately put aside Kirania.
" Not sweet-ass, don't be so considerate!" ketus Kirania made Dirga chuckle.
" No need to be all sweet, I'm sweet, really." said Dirga teasing Kirania who is still frowning. " Where do we eat? I don't know the area."
" I don't want to, you just go home!"
" Geez, you have a lot of heart, hell, Yank! I've come all the way here and been kicked out."
" Who told you to come here?!"
" Tell my heart and my longing for you that makes me come here."
Kirania snorted as she cast a gaze in another direction, lazily responding to the seduction of the man before her.
" Where do we eat? We're just going on a rickshaw, aren't we? It looks good, romantic it's for dating." Dirga again chuckled, she did not care at all for Kirania who was still irritated towards him.
" Bang, tricycles ...!" Dirga patted his palm calling out to brother rickshaw making Kirania snort.
" I don't want to!"
" Slow, dong. Same as your future priest."
" I am heretical if I choose you to be my priest!" ketus Kirania. Making Dirga laugh at Kirania's words earlier.
" Mendi, Mas?" (Where, Mom?) asked Brother rickshaw when he got in front of Dirga.
" I want to know the food here, dong. You can be my guide, right?" Suddenly Kirania remembered the words Yoga some time ago.
" When you're in Cirebon and I stop by the city, you can dong, you become his guide for a walk around Cirebon."
Who would have thought it was not Yoga that he had to face but the annoying man in front of him.
"Where is the restaurant selling Cirebon specialties?" dirga asked the rickshaw brother.
"Akeh, Mommy. Mas'e pengene ning endi?" (Much, Mas. Where do you want it?) The rickshaw asked back.
Dirga who did not understand the words of the rickshaw brother immediately turned to look towards Kirania. "What did the rickshaw talk about?"
"She said you're not welcome here, you better get back to your home country!" kirania was upset.
Dirga. "Then you said that? Bang, sorry, we're husband and wife overseas here. We don't understand the language here. Can I speak Indonesian, Bang?" Dirga's words immediately got a blow from Kirania.
"Oh, sorry, Mas. I guess fellow Cirebones too. Where do you want it then? Here that sells many Cirebon specialties, Mas. There is Nasi Jamblang, Nasi Lengko, Empal Gentong, Docang. Which one does she want?" ask the rickshaw again.
"Which is good, Bang?" dirga's question made the rickshawed brother chuckle.
"All delicious, Mas. If you eat it with his beautiful wife." The rickshaw brother joked, making Kirania feel like the moons of the two male beings.
" Where are you going, Mom?"
" Where are we going, Yank? Kasian's brother is waiting for you." As if nothing had happened, Dirga went straight up to the rickshaw.
Eventually, Kirania was forced to follow Dirga's will. " Fried Chicken Just be happy, Mang." said Kirania before she boarded.
***
Kirania feels uncomfortable having to be a rickshaw with Dirga. Dirga's athletic body feels like it has spent one seat, making it have to sit together.
" I'm sorry, yes, for our misunderstanding." Dirga started a serious conversation.
" No misunderstanding, everything is clear!"
" What is clear?"
Lazy actually Kirania must repeat this discussion.
" On that bet?" Dirga suddenly stroked the head of Kirania.
" You mustn't be insolent hold people's heads." Kirania tried to pull over but because of the narrow place actually made her position look more intimate with Dirga, especially when Dirga instead wrapped his arms around Kirania's shoulders.
" What insolent shit, anyway? My guy's trying to be romantic, anyway. In Jakarta, we cannot do this. It's gonna feel romantic one pedicab both." Dirga chuckles.
A few minutes after they finished eating.
" You're angry about the video? That's not all true. Honestly, I liked you before the video. My friends can't believe I really like you. They think I'm just a prankster to you. They even doubt that I won't be able to get you, those who made the bet, not me. Because I was lured I foolishly agreed to their plan." Dirga smiled miris.
" I really like you, I've never even been this close to catching a woman I like to get to her hometown like this." Dirga clasped Kirania's hand but Kirania immediately withdrew her hand and hid it under the table.
" You're lying, you say you like me, but you can walk with other women" Kirania quipped, upset when Dirga went with another student.
" Another woman? Wh who? Bella?" Dirga chuckles. " Bella's my cousin, I asked her to help me make you jealous."
" I won't be jealous." Kirania threw away her face not wanting to look at Dirga's face.
" Are you really jealous??" Dirga's words sounded sloppy.
" You also said rudely to me." Kirania switched the conversation, she did not want to be provoked by Dirga's words earlier.
" Which one?"
" Think of it yourself!"
Dirga chuckles. " What I told you was me? I had the wrong strategy, you know. I think it makes you jealous by going with Bella, and being so funny that you make you tormented. Uh, instead of being tortured even a chance for you to walk with another man, damn it, right, his name?" Dirga chuckled, laughing at his own stupidity, instead opening up opportunities for Yoga to become close to Kirania.
" I don't like you harassing me!" Kirania recalled the embarrassing incident back then.
" I'm jealous you're close to Prayoga, I don't want you to be close to another man."
" But that doesn't mean you can just harass me, you think I'm a cheap woman?!" hardik Kirania's.
" I'm willing to punish you for that. I'll do whatever you want, just not tell me to stay away from you."

The Cirebon language used in this chapter, the language that is widely used everyday yes gaes so a bit rough, if the language itself there, but not widely used by the general public, so it is a bit rough, most of the descendants or neighborhoods of the palace or middle-aged people. But in general, people in Cirebon use Indonesian in everyday communication.
