MISS THE NO MAN
Suddenly Unsettled

" Rania?"

Kirania immediately raised her head as the person she hit mentioned her name. And he immediately gasped when he found the figure of the man with whom he was clashing was the person he knew.

" Brother Gilang?"

" Why are you here? What are?" tanya Gilang probing.

" I-I'm staying here, brother." Kirania is honest.

" Stay in a hotel? I heard from Karina you moved to Jakarta. Have you been staying at a hotel all this time? Who will cover the cost of the accommodation?" Glazed looks curious.

" Ah, emmm .. This is only for a while. I've only been at this hotel for three nights. Actually yesterday was given a mess place but not suitable, so want to find a boarding place closer to the office." Kirania reasoned.

" What is your brother doing here?" It was Kirania's turn to ask.

" From next week I'm moving to Jakarta. I got the job of leading Bank xxx's branch office in this area."

" Oh, that's ..." That's the only word that came out of Kirania's mouth.

Gilang smiled. " I didn't know if we ended up dating here, and we worked in the same town, Ran." There is a sense of happiness implied from Gilang's words when saying the sentence earlier.

Kirania only showed a slight forced smile. " Hmmm, if that's what I am first, brother." Kirania wanted to go back to her room immediately. He wanted to rest immediately, because today he was very tired. Not because of fatigue, but because of tired heart and mind.

" What room are you in, Ran? How long are you staying here?" ask Gilang.

" As soon as I get a boarding house, I'll move out, brother." Kirania.

" Near the house I will be in service, there is a princess boarding house, if you want, I can help you register a boarding house there." Gilang offered his help.

" Hmmm, don't bother, brother. Later from the office who find me a boarding place, really." Kirania tried to reject Gilang's offer. Because the truth is he doesn't feel good to have to accept help from a man. He was afraid that the man would wish more on him, whereas he could not repay the man's kindness.

" Okay, but you'll let me know if you've got the hostel, Ran. Is your phone number the same? I'm very hard to call you."

Actually, Kirania has changed her personal number, which is only reserved for family members only. He had one more number that he used for other work and public affairs, and that number was unknown. Likewise, when he tried to escape from Dirga, Dirga was not able to contact him, because he turned off the phone number that he commonly used. While Karina the younger sister can contact him because the younger brother is contacting her directly to his personal number.

" I-yes I changed the number" said Kirania.

" Can I have your number?" pinta Gilang's.

Finally Kirania gave the mobile number that applies to the public to Gilang. Gilang also directly contact the number of Kirania, to make sure if the number given Kirania active

" You still have my number?" Kirania immediately shook her head because she had never intended to keep the man's phone number.

" I'm changing numbers and cell phones, brother. So all the numbers are gone." Kirania reasoned.

" Yes, if that's what you kept my number for."

" Yes, Brother."

" I'll take you to the front of the room, okay?"

" No need, brother. Let me be alone."

" Hmmm, have you eaten? How about we eat first?"

" I've eaten. Right now I just want to go back to my room and rest. Today I am really tired," lamented Kirania.

" Alright, but I can tell you your room number's here, right?"

" Not to, brother. Who knows tomorrow I'm out of this hotel." Kirania tried to keep avoiding her.

" Why are you so closed to me, Ran? You've always avoided, never given me a chance to approach you." Gilang seemed to be aware of Kirania's attitude which looked like it was uncomfortable if she approached.

Kirania swallowed her saliva. He realized that he had always been cold to the man. Many times Gilang tried to take his heart, many times also he always tepis.

Kirania to massage his temple, Dirga and Kayla affairs alone have made him dizzy, now added again with Gilang. It felt like he was hiding as far away as possible in a place that no one else could know.

" Ran, I'm going first. There's something important I need to discuss with the client." Dirga walked towards Kirania and Kayla who were putting together a puzzle in the Dirga rest room in the office.

" Papa want to go (go )?" ask Kayla.

" Yes, honey. Papa has business first. Kayla's here with Aunt Rania, yeah. Don't be naughty, jagan's making Aunt Rania difficult." Dirga advised Kayla to be kind to Kirania.

" Okay, Pa." Kayla brandished her two thumbs up, making Dirga smile while shuffling the little boy's hair.

" Oh yeah, Sus Wati and Sus Isah will pick Kayla up here." Dirga said to Kirania. " Please tell them to be careful when you're looking after Kayla, don't be as late as yesterday."

" Good, sir."

" If there are no other employees, don't call them that."

" I'm sorry, Sir. It's an office environment" Kirania argued. He felt uncomfortable with the attitude of Dirga who considered himself still the man's lover.

" What do you want to eat? I'll order it." Dirga patted Kirania on the shoulder making the woman slightly jerked.

" No need, sir. I will look in the cafeteria" said Kirania.

" Don't eat in the cafeteria, just here. I'll order it." Dirga.

" Sir, please don't treat me like this. I'm an employee of the Father, just treat me the same as them," pinta Kirania increasingly mediocre with Dirga's attitude.

" You're the woman I love, Rania. I can't treat you like any other employee." Dirga refused Kirania's request. " Yes already, I'm going first, yeah. If you want to eat, call me." Dirga then fondly stroked Kirania's head, making Kirania's heart beat very fast. Then Dirga did the same thing to Kayla and pecked at the little boy's head.

" Papa go first, yeah, baby."

" Yes, Papa."

He then left Kirania and Kayla. Kirania looked at Dirga's burly back until it disappeared behind the door, then she let out a long sigh.

" If Kayla were to make her love with Dirga," her inner self

" Athaghfirullahal adzim, O Allah forgive me, who has thought as before" muttered Kirania shaking his head. She was very much a self-curse, because she could have imagined being the wife of another woman's husband.

Half an hour later, Kirania and Kayla had finished completing her puzzle.

" Hole, Kela dah celcai (Hore, Kayla is done)" Kayla cheered as she clenched her hands up.

" Yey, we did it." Kirania clapped her hands. " Kayla's hungry, isn't she? What would Kayla eat?" ask Kirania later.

Kayla shook her head. " Kayla wait for Papa, Ateu."

" Old dad, you know. What will Kayla eat, Aunt Rania order?"

" To ep ci, Ateu."

" Lho, yesterday instead of Kayla had eaten fried chicken, huh? Papa gets angry when Kayla eats it again." Kirania disagrees with Kayla eating the same menu two days in a row.

" But Kela's going to ep ci." Kayla began to sulk with her lips.

" Yes, I'll order it." Kirania picks up her phone and opens an online motorcycle taxi app to order the food Kayla wants.

" Kayla, Kayla darling ...."

Suddenly a female voice from Dirga's workroom called out Kayla's name.

" Mom ..." Kayla who had memorized who the voice that called out to her immediately ran out of Dirga's rest room.

While Kirania immediately rounded her eyes and bit her lips when she found out that Dirga's wife was the one who now came there. Instantly his heart was instantly enveloped in a sense of unease. How he had to face the wife of his boss himself. And what would his boss's wife do to him later, considering that the woman with Mama Dirga had once asked him to stay away from Dirga. And now when they meet again without Dirga, will Nadia ask him to do the same? Kirania's heart suddenly did not calm down.
