MISS THE NO MAN
Back to Jakarta

After Karina's death, no conversation was heard between the two men in the room. They were busy struggling with their own thoughts, about who the man in front of them was. Both have the same goal, which is Cyria.

" Acst ..." Dirga cleared her throat breaking the silence between the two of them. " What do you need to find Kirania?" tanya Dirga started the conversation.

" I want to fulfill yesterday's promise to take Rania the way out." Gilang's reply made Dirga tighten her teeth.

" Rania is now with me. If he wants to go out, let me be with him. You don't have to bother" said Dirga.

She pulled one corner of her lips. " I don't feel bothered, it's my pleasure to do it."

Dirga's hands clenched as she heard Gilang's reply. It seemed like the man she was facing was not one to be daunted by her bullying.

" Lho, there was Dirga as well apparently. Where's rania? I was left behind." Mama Saras suddenly came out from inside the middle room.

" Ah, yes, Ma'am ..." Dirga kisses the back of Mama Saras' hand.

" Oh yeah, Dirga already knows Gilang? This is Rania's upperclassman in High School. It just so happens that his house is nearby. If Rania comes back here, Gilang often plays here. Gilang said he wanted to go eat out."

The expression of Mama Saras increasingly makes Dirga's heart uncomfortable. He felt that Gilang looked very familiar with the Kiranian family. As for Gilang, the words of Mama Saras made her smile happily because she felt in the wind.

The atmosphere on the dining table today looks clumsy. How not clumsy? Mama Saras who is not sensitive, even asked Dirga to also eat together outside. Be now five people sitting at one table. Mama Saras, Kirania, Karina, Dirga and Gilang.

" Where does Dirga live here?" mama Saras asked as she waited for the order to arrive.

" I'm at the inn, Ma. Hmm... Is it okay to call Mom Mama? Let's get more familiar." With confidence Dirga said that.

" Oh .. That's okay, anyway." Mama Saras.

" Gilang can also call Mama too, dong, Tan?" Gilang don't want to lose.

" May Means now Mama is adding children. Mama's kids are all girls, Mama's happy to be adding two boys." Mama Saras smiled.

" Yes ... Mama added two boys, one for Rania, one for me, dong." kelly Karina chuckled making everything on the table focus on Karina.

" Dek, keep your attitude!" tegur Kirania responded to the attitude of her younger sister who seemed to have no shame. Mama Saras himself only shook his head in response to the innocence of his youngest daughter's attitude.

" Yeeh .. It's okay, dong, Ma'am. If Mbak Rania choose Kak Dirga, then Kak Gilang for me. If Kak Gilang is chosen by Mbak Rania, it means I am the same Kak Dirga. It's not possible either, is it, Mommy to choose both?" Karina is back.

" This you, Rin. Is Kak Dirga the same as Kak Gilang want to be with you?" mama Saras's words further made Kirania massage her temples.

" Yes have to, dong. As the saying goes, there are no root rattan. Don't get his brother, can his sister not matter." Karina laughs amusedly.

" Shya!!" hardik Kirania, make people there, not only Karina but also Mama Saras, Dirga, Gilang turned her head. " You must not be ashamed to speak. You are a girl!"

" Ck, Miss Rania is serious. Can't be joked." Karina.

" Already, the food has come, let's eat, don't continue to talk." Mama Saras mediates the debate between her two daughters.

It's Dirga's third day in Kirania's hometown. Every day Dirga always tried to get the heart of the woman. Every day he came out of his inn to pick up Kirania to the market. Dirga even helped serve the grocery store owned by Kirania's parents. Take the rice sack. Follow to learn the basic and other work of other grocery store waiters. It was a rare thing he had done all this time. Perhaps if his friends knew his current madness, his friend would laugh at his behavior.

" Ran, Dirga told me to eat first, there. Mama has bought you a pillow for your lunch," said Mama Saras.

" Mommy ate?" ask Kirania.

" Just leave it, this boy."

" Yes, the hunt there eat first." Mama Saras's Order. " Dirga, eat first with Rania!" exclaimed Mama Saras stopped the activity of Dirga compiling a pile of rice that had just come.

" Good, Ma. All the same Mama, Yuk." invite Dirga.

" You two go first" refused Mama Saras smooth.

" Yes already, then, Dirga ate first, yes, Ma." Mama Saras nodded.

Kirania picked up the rice on the plate and the empal in the bowl with some crackers and emping for Dirga, While Dirga was busy watching Kirania who was preparing food for her.

" I feel like your husband has been served like this. Get the rice, the side dish," said Dirga smiling.

" No need to ge-er. I'll get it all because there's only a little. Make Mama the same other officers will not be part. I don't want you to take it mostly, take the other rations." Kirania. Instantly Dirga chuckled.

" When do we go back to Jakarta? You don't miss college? You came here because you avoided me anyway, right? Here you meet me too. So why don't we just go back to Jakarta?"

Kirania took a sitting position in front of Dirga without answering Dirga's questions.

" Tomorrow we'll just go home, okay?" dirga pinta.

Kirania still remained silent not directly answering.

" I ..."

" There's nothing you should be afraid of. On campus everything is safely under control. Nothing will bother you anymore. Naura and her friends have also received punishment for their actions. They won't bother you." Dirga tried to convince Kirania.

***

This morning, Dirga and Kirania returned to Jakarta by Cirebon Express train at eight thirty. Kirania finally decided to return to Jakarta. Because he thought what Dirga said was true. He chose to return home because he was upset by Dirga's actions. But the person who made him upset was now even every day from morning until late at night always with him. So free also he hides while the person he wants to avoid is now even like a shadow for him. Maybe just to the toilet and the bedroom Dirga did not follow.

Kirania chose to sit by the window while throwing a glance out the window. He gasped as Dirga's fingers draped the strands of Kirania's hair that covered part of her cheek.

" What, anyway?" Kirania brushed off Dirga's hand.

" Look here, dong. On your left the view is nice to see, really." Dirga plays her eyebrows.

" A real narcissist" said Kirania.

" It's not narcissistic dear Rania, but I'm self-conscious. Realize that I'm pretty good." Kirania immediately rolled her eyeballs in response to the nagging man who somehow, right now she seemed to have trouble rejecting what the man wanted.
