MISS THE NO MAN
Refusal

Mama Saras watched as Kirania was packing the clothes she was about to carry. Tomorrow Kirania must go to Jakarta, because Monday morning she has started her activities at the headquarters.

" You take good care of yourself there, Ran. There was a time when there was still your pack, Mama could calm down. Now that you're alone in a city as big as Jakarta, Mama's worried, Ran." Mama Saras feels heavy taking off Kirania herself in Jakarta. Because Pakde Danang died two years ago, while Bude Arum chose to return to his family in Purwokerto, because they did not have children.

" Yes, Mah."

" You really have a place to live there, Ran?"

" Yes, Mah. he said he provided facilities where the boarding is," said Kirania.

" Mama still isn't willing to let go of you alone, Ran." Mama Saras immediately hugged the body of her eldest daughter.

" Mom don't worry, Rania will be fine, Ma." Kirania stroked her mother's back gently. Indeed, he himself felt heavy to leave Mama Saras and Karina

Kirania left for the city of Jakarta this Sunday morning, using his service car which he had been using for his operations during his time working at the branch office first. He asked for help from Mr. Beni, one of the drivers in the office first, to take him to Jakarta, so the car he had been using could be taken home by Mr. Beni again.

Kirania has confirmed from her new office, where she will stay later. He had already arranged a schedule with one of the employees there who would deliver to his residence later.

Kirania stared at a simple building that now looked empty. A few years ago, he lived in that little house for four years. The house of the late Pakde Danang and Bude Arum. Many memories in the small house, making him feel very lost the figure of the man who replaced his father after his father left. But now Pakde Danang has gone after his papa. Without feeling tears dripping on his smooth cheeks.

" This ... Rania isn't, is she?"

Someone greeted Kirania who was still standing dumbstruck in front of her Pakdenya house first.

" Lulu's sister?" Kirania recognized the woman who greeted her. He hurriedly wiped his tears.

" Why are you here? Want to stay here again, Ran?" ask Lulu who is the front neighbor of Pakde Danang's house first.

" No, Ma'am. It just so happened that I was in Jakarta, so miss this place." Kirania looked back at the house that now looked empty, because when expressing his intention to return to Purwokero, after discussing with his mother, Bude Arum decided to sell the house.

" Oh yeah, Bude how are you?" ask Lulu again.

" Bude is also Alhamdulillah well, Ma'am." Although he has returned to his hometown but the communication he and his budnya remain intertwined.

" So kangen is also with your Bude" said Lulu.

" Tan, I'm going home first, yes." shouted a girl who came out from inside Lulu's house.

Kirania finds a ten-year-old girl walking closer to Lulu.

" Na, here .. Do you remember who this is?_ Lulu embraces the young girl then points towards Kirania.

The young girl looked at Kirania while gnashing her forehead trying to remember.

" Who is it, Tan?"

Kirania slightly knitted her eyebrows together, knowing that the young girl did not recognize her.

" It's Reyna huh, Ma'am?" Kirania herself recognized the young girl's face even though the last time she met the young girl was under the age of five.

" Yes, Ran. This is Reyna Mas Reyhan's son, " said Lulu. " Don't Reyna remember Rania? You used to be close to Rania's sister, you know. You used to always call this Rania Sister by calling Kak Kilan, because you used to still lisp." Lulu tried to remind her nephew.

" Hmmm, sorry Auntie, I don't remember who Auntie is."

Kirania responds to Reyna, who now calls her Aunt with a smile. He understands why Reyna doesn't recognize him now. Maybe because Reyna was too small to remember an incident, or maybe because of the rejection she did to Reyna first.

Since the news of Dirga-Kirania broke, Reyhan has been getting closer to Kirania. With Reyna's reasoning, Reyhan always found the right reason to get her close to Kirania. Even the widespread gossip about the relationship of lecturers and students was interpreted as the cause of the breakup of Dirga and Kirania.

Kirania was actually caught off guard by the news. Kirania is now trying to stay away and keep her distance from her lecturer. Moreover, his two best friends have also warned.

" If you have no heart with Mr. Reyhan you should not be too close to Mr. Reyhan, Ran. Do not give false hope. Moreover, Mr. Reyhan is our lecturer."

" Yes, Ran. Moreover, his son Mr. Reyhan is very close to you. Fearful that her son is hoping for you too much."

The two friends of Kirania gave advice to Kirania at that time. And his best friend's worries were evident, when suddenly his lecturer revealed his heart to Kirania exactly two months since Kirania and Dirga broke up.

" Ran, can you come out tonight?" reyhan asked after teaching, Reyhan had approached Kirania and whispered the words earlier.

" Hmmm, what's up, sir?" Kirania felt awkward because at that moment Hasna and Sabilla were looking at her with sharp eyes.

" There's something I want to say."

" Can't you just say it here, sir?" ask Kirania again.

Reyhan smiled as he shook his head.

" Can't, Ran. It's a personal matter and a matter of the heart. It cannot be discussed in front of many people.* Reyhan stared at Hasna and Sabilla alternately.

And this is where Kirania was, together with her lecturer who was at odds with her ten years of age. They both sat in front of each other in a restaurant.

" What do you want to talk about?" ask Kirania. He did not impatiently want to know immediately, but he wanted to quickly go home if Reyhan had said his point.

" Feed first, we'll talk after we eat."

Kirania clucked at Reyhan's reply. Finally, Kirania followed what Reyhan had ordered.

" Ran, you know if Reyna is close to you. Reyna looks to fit you. If you'd like to, after you graduate, I'd like to propose you to be a mother Reyna continued, be my wife."

Deg

Kirania swallowed her saliva. This is what he was afraid of. He was worried that his closeness to Reyna was misunderstood by his lecturer.

" Hmmm .. sorry, sir. I don't think I deserve to be with Mr. Reyhan." Kirania looked for reasons that did not offend her lecturer.

" Who said it was inappropriate? For me a woman who can take Reyna's heart, who can make Reyna feel comfortable it's more than worthy of being a mother added Reyna."

" I can't, Sir. Sorry .. I'm sorry." Kirania immediately went to leave Reyhan who was finally stunned to see the departure of Kirania.

Since then, Kirania has avoided Reyhan, as well as Reyna. Whenever the little boy visited Pakde Danang's house to meet him, Kirania never wanted to meet him and hide from Reyna.

Flashback off

" Reyna's home, Tan." Reyna told Lulu.

" Yes be careful. Ali sir picked it up?" ask Lulu.

" It's in front." Reyna kissed the back of Lulu's hand. Reyna missed Kirania, then passed away.

Seriate..

Happy Re is a happy-go-lucky
