Kirania parked her service car in the yard. His eyes focused on Ayla's silver metallic car parked there. Kirania knows who the owner of the car is. She is Zidan, the lover of her sister, Karina.
" Accelod ..." Kirania gave her greetings.
" Neylorda." Zidan who was sitting in the living room greeted Kirania. " Just got home, Tea?"
" Yes, Dan." Kirania. " Where is Karina?"
" But changed, Tea."
" You guys want to go?"
" Karina asked to watch, Tea. Tomorrow morning I'll go back to Bandung, so watch tonight. As always, weekend 'kan ration absent to meet the family in Bandung, Tea." Zidan explained as he chuckled. Zidan is indeed a Bandung person who works in Cirebon, so every Saturday - Sunday always take time to go home to his parents in Bandung.
" Oh, yes it is ... Get in first, yeah." Kirania immediately stepped towards her sleeping room.
Kirania put her briefcase on the nightstand. He took off the blazer and put it on the edge of the bed. Unbuttoning some of his shirt up top, he walked up to the sofa and sat his body there.
" It's home apparently." Suddenly, Mama Saras's voice came from the direction of her bedroom door which was not tightly closed.
" Yes, Ma." Kirania.
" You want to eat now? Want Mama to warm the side dishes?" ask Mama Saras.
" No need, Ma. Later I want to go out with office friends," replied Kirania.
" Office friends invited Rania to gather at the cafe, Ma. It just so happened to get a bonus," continued Kirania explained.
" Young people always do. If you can windfall remember have fun." Mama shook her head. " You got the bonus too?"
" Get dong, Ma. I got one million five hundred thousand, which five hundred I donated to the parlor. The rest is for Mama, huh." Kirania was about to get up but Mama Saras' hand blocked her.
" No, that's your right. Just wear it for your needs," said Mama Saras. " It's important you don't forget to share with people in need." Mama Saras's hand stretched out caressing Kirania's head.
" Of course Rania won't forget, Ma. Since childhood, my mother and father have always taught me to share with those who are less fortunate than us." Mama Saras smiled at Kirania's reply.
" Oh yes, Ma. The company intends to promote me to the head office in Jakarta. Had I been chosen, it would have meant that Rania would have stayed in Jakarta" Kirania continued.
" sthat mean?" Mama Saras seemed to have little understanding of the words of Kirania.
" Gini, Ma. Every three years the headquarters in Jakarta look for employees from regional branches to develop their careers by working at the head office in Jakarta." Kirania explained.
" Developing career? Up that rank?"
Kirania chuckles. " Yes that much, deh. If our career increases higher, automatically the salary we receive will certainly increase also the number."
Mama Saras was silent for a moment staring at her son's face so closely. " You want to pursue a career, Ran?"
" If there's a chance, why not?"
" When will you decide to go to the household?"

Kirania immediately turned to look at Mama Saras who was looking at her.
" You're twenty-seven years old, Ran. That's a ripe age for you to be married. But until now there has never been a sign that you will be married. Even close to a man you never."
Kirania swallowed her saliva, Mama Saras' words instantly made her heart riled. Indeed, since breaking up with Dirga a few years ago, Kirania seemed to really close themselves to all the men who tried to approach her. Every time he thought about getting into a relationship, the shadow of Dirga always appeared filled his brain and heart.
" This mom is getting old, Ran. Mama wants to see you happy, see you're married and have kids."
" Ma, if it's time for Rania to get married, but not now" Kirania said.
" But Mama also wants to quickly have a grandchild, Ran."
Kirania looked at her mother for a moment and then moved towards the window of her room.
" Mommy can ask for it's the same Karina. His relationship with Zidan is serious." Kirania replied to her mother.
" Karina couldn't have gotten married before you were married, Ran."
" If I don't get married, she'll just wait for me, will she?!" Kirania raised her voice a little.
Mama Saras fell silent, this was the first time Kirania spoke with a slightly jerky intonation, making the middle-aged woman's facial features look nelangsa. Kirania who realized her mistake immediately approached Mama Saras and hugged her mother's body.
" I'm sorry Rania, Ma. Rania didn't mean to say rude to Mama. Forgive Rania, Ma." Kirania immediately sobbed from feeling very guilty.
I don't know where? You are ...
My life without you ...
Is there, always miss me ...
Like me, who always misses you ...
Always miss you ...
Sayup-sayup sound Hampa song from the direction of the house next door because the window of Kirania's room is open. Making Kirania's heart feel more like being squeezed and again making her tears fall down.

Around eight o'clock Kirania reached the cafe where he and his men gathered. He chose to practice Islamic prayer first, so that if he went home later he was not rushed time.
" It finally came, too, I think Mom changed her mind." Welcome Widya.
" What do you want to eat? We've ordered chicken steak with beef steak, french fries. If Mas Arnan orders lasagna, drink orange juice. What message do you want to add?" ask Fifi later.
" No menu matches the local tongue? That rames rice?" Kirania chuckled making everyone laugh.
" Ah, I could have .." Widya said again.
" I'll go with you, but drink mineral water" continued Kirania.
" Always, mineral water never forgets, Mom? Her skin was clear as clear as mineral water." Widya.
The four of them finally enjoyed the hangout together at the cafe while accompanied by a few chat from the home band cafe there.
" You must often gather together with us gini, Ran. Let's make our team more solid," Hendra joked on the sidelines of them eating food.
" What is the relationship between gini and make the work more solid? Ngaco, you." Arnan.
" Mas Arnan is not compact, deh. It means Mas Hendra is the mode so that Mbak Rania often come with us to gather, that is, you know." Fifi sneered at one colleague who did not understand the meaning of Hendra's words. Making Arnan crybaby.
While Kirania only fell silent while developing her smile in response to the behavior of four people who incidentally were her subordinates at work.
" Good night Cafe visitors, happy to enjoy your favorite special menus while accompanied by romantic songs that make the atmosphere of this evening even sweeter, such as the singer, hehehe ..." the singer's voice from the home band cafe was heard making some cafe visitors chuckle at the vocalist's speech.
Not how long some songs were shot from the singer's mouth that sounded very melodious voice.
My life without your love ...
A night without stars ...
My love without your welcome ...
Like heat without rain ...

Kirania immediately stopped her chewing and immediately swallowed the piece of meat to make her choke when suddenly the home band cafe sang the song Dewa 19
Save the roses I gave you ...
Perhaps the fragrance inspired ...
Please allow yourself to know me first ...
Before you spit on me ...
Before you rip my heart out ...
