MISS THE NO MAN
Enjoying Togetherness

Kirania rubs her nude lipstick onto her lips. I don't know how many times he has to go back and forth in the mirror, to make sure he looks beautiful today. Ever since hearing from Dirga last night. That the man was going to pick her up, made Kirania want to look perfect in the man's eyes. Kirania chose some suitable clothes that she would wear for college today. Though he had never dragged this before for the matter of the clothes he would wear for college.

" Ran, someone's picking you up, tuh!" exclaim Bude Arum from outside his room.

" Yes, Bude." said Kirania back in the mirror to make sure that there was nothing lacking with his appearance this morning. After that, he hurried out of the room to meet Dirga in the living room.

" Sister .." greet Kirania to Dirga who is waiting on the porch of the house.

Dirga turned his head towards Kirania. " Hey .." a smile appeared on his lips.

" We're leaving now?" asked Kirania who was a little nervous to find Dirga's smile for her.

" Come! Where's bude?" Dirga looked inside the house to say goodbye.

" I'm in the bathroom. Just a minute, yeah." Kirania went back inside to say goodbye to Budenya.

" Bude, Rania's leaving, yeah."

" Yes be careful, Ran." Bude Arum then came out of the bathroom using a towel.

" Sister Dirga wants to say goodbye, Bude."

" Yes, we're leaving. Bude hasn't dressed up yet."

" Yes, Rania's leaving, yeah, Bude. Assalamualaikum." Kirania kisses Bude Arum's hand.

" Neylorda." After returning Kirania's greetings, Bude Arum entered her room, while Kirania went back to meet Dirga who was waiting for her outside.

On the way to the campus Kirania felt clumsy, when he felt that Dirga had been watching him from behind his wheel.

" Hmmm, the tumben is in the car, brother?" Kirania tried to get rid of her nervousness by starting to open a chat. Because since getting into the car Dirga did not talk. He focused on his steering wheel while once upon a time looking towards Kirania while developing a faint smile on his lips.

" I'm afraid that if you get on the bike, you jump again, like the last time I drove you home." Dirga replied while chuckling. And it succeeded in making the lips of Kirania immediately pursed.

" I still don't think. What was on your mind to jump off the bike at that time?" ask Dirga.

" It's the same as you." Kirania.

" Sebal? Do not hate or hate the same people, later can love, you know. Yes, if it's the same as me, it's okay, so love is the same as me. If it is with another person, his love becomes with another person. That's not what I want." Dirga rattled Kirania's hair.

" Sister, iihhh ..." Kirania brushed off Dirga's hand but subtly unlike before. Make Dirga widen his smile because it has now managed to melt the hardness of the heart of Kirania.

***

A month passed, Dirga and Kirania's relationship became more and more intimate. Dirga did want to prove to Pakde Danang that he was serious with his intentions. Dirga had been showing his concern for Kirania. Arguably for one month this never seen the color of sad face on the face of Kirania.

Kirania herself felt a month running her heart so carefree. I think he always wants to smile. The aura of his face always radiated cheerfulness. Is he in love now? Wanting him to deny but in reality when he was close to Dirga, his heart felt calm and happy.

The change in attitude of Kirania was certainly felt by his two best friends, Hasna and Sabilla. They wished Dirga was truly sincere towards Kirania.

" You guys want to come with us, don't you?" dirga asked the two friends of Kirania.

" Where, Brother?" ask Sabilla.

" Sir Dirga wants to watch." Kirania answered Sabilla's question.

" No, Brother. Fear of disturbing." Hasna.

" Disturb what, anyway? People just watch, really," protested Kirania.

" It's still not good, Ran. We've also dated many times, Ran. If there's someone else when we go back to the same girlfriend it's not comfortable." Sabilla revealed the reason.

" So it's true to come along, isn't it?" ask Dirga make sure.

" No, Brother. You two just watched it. Have fun, yeah. Don't get scuffed, you know, brother." It was always that last sentence Hasna said if Dirga brought Kirania.

" Brains." Dirga chuckles.

" Yes already, I'm first, yeah. Assalamualaikum .." pamit Kirania.

" Neylorda." Sabilla and Hasna.

And in the end Dirga and Kirania did not go to the movies. Dirga chose to spend time in his apartment. How often Kirania was invited there. Just chatting on the balcony listening to Dirga playing guitar, or watching a movie that Kirania chose. Because Kirania did not want Dirga to choose a film that made her blood rustle when seeing intimate scenes let alone having to watch alone with Dirga. For Dirga himself, he really enjoyed his friendship with Kirania as it is today.

I picked up the guitar and started playing ...

Old songs we used to sing ...

But not a word that can be said ...

" Sister, it's instant noodles already." Kirania made instant noodles with the addition of mustard, eggs and sausages, while Dirga was playing guitar and singing a phenomenal song owned by Slank.

" Hmmm, it smells really good, Yank." Dirga then put down her guitar and grabbed the bowl containing the instant noodles.

" Don't eat instant noodles often, you know, Brother." Kirania.

" At least once a month I can't eat this." Dirga.

" Yes too, yeah. You're a rich man, you rarely touch food like this. Same different from the usual student boarding." Kirania chuckles.

" Lho, is this noodle made for certain circles, doang? No, right?! Anyone can eat this noodle" said Dirga. " Hmmm, good ..." Dirga gave a thumbs up while eating with ravenous instant noodles made by Kirania.

" Eat slowly, dong, brother. It's still hot."

" It's good this time." Before long the noodles had been barren from his bowl. Dirga was really like a greedy person eating that noodle.

" Sister, next time we don't come here alone, yeah." Must have been a little hesitant to convey his objections but he was finally able to speak as well.

" why? Are you afraid I'm doing something?" Dirga scrunched her forehead.

" It's not like that. Not good to see people. We don't do negative things. It just doesn't feel good that we are often alone in the apartment. Effect ...."

" What effect? Don't listen to people, though. Who run 'em. What we're doing here is nothing strange and distorted, right?"

" Yes, we're the only easterners. We can't ignore the views of others. Especially if they think negatively about us, if often both in this apartment. Sirde I will also be angry if I know I often invited you here."

" What do you want?"

" Yes mending us out to where, cake. Or at home, talk. Just don't be alone like this."

" Okay, if that's what you want." Dirga regained his grip and began strumming his guitar.

In a cold and dark night ...

My mind drifted on our story ...

Too sweet to forget ...

Beautiful memories with you stay dreams ...

" Sister, don't sing that song, dong!" kirania protest who felt a little disturbed by the song that she felt was not fitting sung by Dirga while they were alone.

" What's why? The song is good, right."

" It's good, but ..." Kirania paused her words. " Do you have any memories of this song? You miss your ex?"

He laughed at Kirania's accusation.

" I like this song because I like it. There is no story with this song. I changed it, the song. What song do you want me to sing? Ah, this is the power that suits us."

My life without your love ...

A night without stars ...

My love without your welcome ...

Like heat without rain ...

My soul whispered softly ...

'I must belong to you ...

Dirga sang Risalah Hati while staring fixedly at the face of Kirania. The stared Kirania also returned the gaze of the Dirga eagle's eyes. They looked at each other as if they wanted to reveal what was in their hearts. And as Dirga rolled her eyes, Kirania could not hide the red hue on her face that was instantly present uninvited by her. Making him blush in shame while lowering his face.

I can make you fall in love with me ...

Even if you don't love me ...

Give it a little time ...

Let love come because it has become accustomed ...

Connect ....

Sweet love first before separating them 🤭
