A week has been revealed that Melodi is the son of Riri Marissa, a woman who is often called mother by him. Many were surprised to hear that fact, especially Nilam. Now he has to lose his daughter. After releasing Nisa who was adopted by Riri, now Nilam also has to release Melodi who is the daughter of Riri's birth.
After returning home from the gallery, the two came to the orphanage, meeting Nilam. Riri explains the story that he had been buried alone. The story of her husband who could take her daughter away when she was a baby. Even he did not have time to give the breast milk to his daughter. Remembered in his mind, as he carried his daughter, he saw a birthmark located behind his right ear. That was the last time she saw her daughter, before her husband left her with his daughter.
Hearing the bitter story that came from Riri's mouth, Nilam was sorry. He also did not want to be selfish, holding Melodi in his grasp. Finally, with sincerity Nilam allowed Melodi to go with her biological parents.
Actually, it's not just Nilam that's heavy to take off. But Melody was the same, too heavy to leave. Imaged in the mind, his figure who since childhood has been willing to take care of him. He never knew where this melody came from.
Saying thank you and sorry Melodi hurled at him, hugging Nilam very tightly, so that he could calm down after Melodi left. Melodi promises him that she will always play in the parlor, visiting him.

The bright morning was comparable to the face of Melodi. Today he accidentally woke up early because he wanted to jog with Nisa. Their jogging distance is not far, only up to the city park. Usually, people are also crowded in the morning, considering the fresh air that can be inhaled there.
They ran around small, down the deserted streets of the complex. Huft, it feels, this atmosphere is very different. In fact, Melodi still could not believe that she was living in this place right now.
Shortly after, they arrived at the park. True to what he said, there were many people here. Either they are just jogging or enjoying the atmosphere. But clearly, he had never felt a situation like this. This is her first time with Nisa doing this activity.
"Mel, sit down yuk, tired." Said Nisa who was bending over holding her knee. He's exhausted like that.
"Ah, lo Nis. The new time is so bright. Let's go on again." Melody ran away leaving him. Hearing this, Nisa yelled out to call him to stop. However, Melodi paid no heed to it.
With the remaining energy she still had, Nisa chased after the girl who was now sitting casually under the tree. His face looked irritated after he got to the place.
"A, Mel. It's so fucking nice! You know for yourself, my physique is weak, can not run so far." Grieved Nisa. It is true, since long ago, Nisa already has a history of physical weakness. Hence, he was often sickly.
"Hehe, I'm sorry. Yes, sit here." Melodi patted her side chair, telling her to sit down to unwind her.
Nisa immediately obeyed her orders, she sat down next to him, then rubbed her sweat that splashed with her little towel.
"Lo's thirsty?" Melodi asked Nisa, because they forgot to bring a drink while leaving earlier.
Nisa just nodded her head, signalling that she was indeed thirsty. Seeing that, immediately Melodi got up from the chair, looking for a drink seller.
As far as Melodi goes, he has not found a drink seller at all. Finally, he exited the city park, looking for a minimarket that was already open. And, his eyes immediately sparkled at the minimarket standing across the street.
When Melodi was about to set foot, cross the road, suddenly someone clasped his mouth. Melody thrashed because of it. But a moment later, his eyes closed due to the anesthesia he gave.

Nisa keeps the phone in her ear, waiting for the person across the street to answer her. However, there is only the operator's approval. Nisa again contacted Melodi, hoping that Melodi would answer, but the operator's reply was heard again, only now it was different than before. The number you are calling is inactive.
"Squeals, Mel where the hell. Don't make me worry dong." Nisa started to panic, she tried to contact him again and again, but still there was no answer.
In the confusion, he kept thinking. Looking for someone who can help him. Finally, he called Echoes.
"Hello Nis, why?"
"Echo, help me Echoes."
"Why Nis? Just calm down, calm down."
"Where can I calm Echoes, Mel's missing. I don't know where she is now."
"Huh? Mel lost? Where's your position? I'll be there soon."
Beeping. The phone just died. Nisa was still sitting there, with a worried face, waiting for the arrival of the Echoes. Shortly after, the echo came to him. Nisa recounts the events before Melody went missing on the Echoes.
"We have to echo.." Nisa started to shed tears. He can't afford to lose Melody.
"Gue has asked Bang Rendi for help to track down Mel's whereabouts. She'll soon be telling me where Mel is now." Echoes calm Nisa. "Oh yeah Nis, don't tell mommy first, I'm afraid she's worried later." Further.
Nisa just nodded her head, she was unable to speak anymore. His mouth seemed to be locked by the cries that came out of his tears. Mel, where are you?
Moments later, the Echoes phone notification rang. There's a message coming in from Rendi.
It is located in the empty building of Jalan Cempaka number 8.
_Rendies
After reading the message, Echo's eyes instantly widened. He was shocked by the contents.
"Not that, that's the zombie gang's headquarters?"
