MISS THE NO MAN
Forced to stay away

Kirania quickly folded her original meeting because her bud told her there were guests looking for her outside after Isha prayers. Kirania's heart skipped a beat when she heard the saying from her bud, that the guest looking for her were two women. One is middle-aged, another is a young woman with a rich look according to her culture.

Kirania took a deep breath. His mind had turned to his mother Dirga and Nadia who had come to meet him. Suddenly fear began to creep in his heart. What the hell are they here for? Are they going to threaten him to stay away from Dirga? What if they make a fuss by berating him as a snatcher of people's lovers? Will she be able to face Nadia and her lover's mother alone? And what will happen after this? Various guesses of bad things continued to dance in Kirania's mind.

Kirania was still squeezing her fingers while walking back and forth in her room. He is not the type of person who easily interacts with others, especially with the conditions of the problems as they are being faced now.

" Ran, is the prayer done yet? The guest is waiting, you know!"

" a-yes, Bude. A minute ..." Bude Arum's shout from outside the room made Kirania finally inevitably have to go out of her room to meet her guest.

Kirania again took a deep breath while reciting a prayer in her heart so that she could go through everything quietly before breaking the curtains of the living room and living room.

Kirania's heart beats faster, when her guess about the person looking for her is Mama Dirga and Nadia turns out to be right.

By swallowing the saliva that instantly moistened her throat, Kirania stepped closer to the two people who were sitting waiting for her.

" Good night, ma'am," said Kirania in a polite tone.

Mama Dirga who was greeted by Kirania immediately turned her head towards him. " Night" answered Mama Dirga briefly.

" I'm sorry my pack's house is cramped like this." Kirania again tried to make small talk while trying to calm down. " Did your mother and sister Nadia come here have anything to do with Brother Dirga?" It felt like Kirania was asking that but she was not able to move her lips enough to say that.

" I'm sorry we interrupted your time."

Kirania slightly gasped when she heard Mama Dirga's words which sounded with a very soft tone in her ears.

" Hmmm, it's okay, Mom." Kirania answered politely.

" You're Dirga's college friend, right?" ask Mama Dirga later.

" Yes, Mom."

" Take what faculty?"

" Economy & Business."

" What semester is it now?"

" Six, Mom."

" It's different for a year with Dirga, huh?"

" Yes, Mom."

" Oh, hopefully, the knowledge you learn during college can be useful for you in the future."

" Aamiin, Mum. Thank you." Thank you."

Kirania really did not expect if Mama Dirga asked her to talk very lightly, although she asked most questions. There was absolutely no sign that they had bad intentions for him.

" It's been about four months, ma'am." Mama Dirga looks to nod her head.

" Four months of acquaintance, and about four months of familiarity, huh?"

Kirania swallowed her saliva. He felt that this conversation had started to get into the core of his problem.

" Have Dirga been bothering you so much? I hear Dirga always makes a move to be close to you. The rumors that circulated some time ago, are very cornering you, and Dirga is one of the causes. Until you have to leave college and go home to avoid Dirga, but Dirga instead he followed you there, huh?"

Deg

Kirania really could not believe that Mama Dirga knew so much about what had happened to her all this time. Did Mama Dirga up to tell people to investigate.

" I know, how Dirga's association so far. But I know he was never serious about the women who approached him. And after I found out who you are. You're a simple woman who never acts. Obedient in performing worship and never close to men before. I understand why Dirga is so interested in you that she even insists on keeping you." All the sentences that Mama Dirga threw were all spoken with moderate intonation without any intimidation making the nervousness of Kirania evaporate by itself.

" I don't forbid you from being friends with Dirga. But for more than just friends, I'm sorry, I can't give you my blessing."

Deg

Finally the sentence sounded too. Making Kirania directly bow her face. He had expected that it would not be easy to establish a relationship with Dirga. Even when a few days ago he asked Dirga to keep his distance, chances like this he must prepare.

" I'm sorry that we, myself and Dirga's father have chosen the candidate we have prepared to accompany Dirga." Mama Dirga turned her head towards Nadia, who replied with a smile.

" We have promised to unite Dirga and Nadia for a long time. Dirga's parents and Nadia's parents have been friends since we were teenagers. I don't want the failure of Dirga and Nadia's relationship to affect the friendship that we've had for a long time, just because Dirga can't keep her heart. You understand what I mean?"

Kirania tried to look at Mama Dirga. " I understand, Mom." With a voice choked in his throat, as his chest tightened as if he was squeezed by a large chunk of rock and hot air that had struck around his eyes, Kirania was still able to answer.

" Thank God you understand." Mama Dirga paused her speech for a moment. " I want to ask you for help, to be able to stay away from Dirga. You know, he's very stubborn. He won't want to if we force him to let you go. Therefore I beg you, you are the only one who acts to start away and release Dirga. Can you help us?" There was a tone of plea heard in Mama Dirga's words.

Kirania looked at Mama Dirga then changed to look at Nadia who showed a thin smile to her.

" good, Mom. I will try to stay away from Brother Dirga from now on." Although very heavy Kirania finally decided to grant Mama Dirga's request.

" Thank you for helping us. I pray you will get a much better man than Dirga. And I beg you for this, lest Dirga know it. He would be very angry if he knew what we were doing. Can you keep this meeting a secret to Dirga?"

" good, Mom. I promise, I won't talk about this to Sister Dirga." Kirania's chest wanted to explode right then and there. What was said on his lips was strongly opposed by his heart. But what to say, he could do nothing but accept the decision. What is he for the Dirga family who are famous as a distinguished family.

After Mama Dirga and Nadia said goodbye, with a quick step Kirania towards her room.

" His guest is home, Ran?"

Bude Arum who had seen Kirania immediately asked and only answered with a nod of his head.

After closing and locking the door Kirania immediately threw her body on the bed with sobs and unbearable tears finally came out also wet her cheeks. This is the first time she has ever felt in love. And he really didn't expect that loving someone should be this complicated and painful.
