BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
Part 79's
Four men have gathered in the cafe's cctv room where Syifa disappeared. They took over the security room to get information about Syifa immediately.
" Sister, how can Syifa disappear?" ask Sony.
" I neglected to take care of him, just when the meeting was almost over... Syifa... Syifa said to go to the toilet. I waited a quarter of an hour, but Syifa didn't come back" Deni replied.
" Is it possible that Syifa was kidnapped, brother?" ask Ardan.
" Maybe, Reyhan was able to warn me to be more strict guarding Syifa. He suspects someone and his plan was to have a virtual meeting with all of us to discuss this."
" Yes, let's check this cctv footage first" Rendi said.
Assisted by security officers, they checked the cctv footage as the incident unfolded. They observe it in detail every second of the recording.
" Look! There was someone suspicious in the parking lot" Rendi said.
" Zoom in!" deni's orders.
Sure enough, there were two men holding one woman and put in the car. Deni was very familiar with the clothes that the girl was wearing.
" Shyfa...!" shout Deni.
" Is there a back door in this cafe?" ask Ardan.
" There, Sir. The goods that came out into the cafe through the back door." replied the security officer.
" Thank you for your help, sir. Excuse me first." Deni invites the others to pursue the car that brought Syifa.

Meanwhile, Syifa is unconscious in a car traveling at high speed. The dope that smothered her made the girl faint for a very long time.
Syifa Flashback
Syifa asked Deni permission to go to the toilet. He left alone because he felt the place was safe. After coming from the toilet, Syifa rushed back to Deni. But when just walking a few steps, there was a man who dragged him towards the back of the Cafe.
" Detach...! Who're you?" shouts Syifa.
" Silence...! Come with us!" hardik the man.
" No! Unhand me!"
Syifa continued to struggle but her strength was not strong enough to resist them. His legs are still not fully healed plus he wears a knee-length short dress.
Because it continues to wrangle, eventually the two criminals hold Syifa with drugs. After that, they let Syifa into a car parked in the cafe courtyard.
They did not realize that in the parking lot was installed a cctv that could show anyone who went in and out of the Cafe area.
Flashback off
Sony contacted Reyhan to ask him who the man suspected of abducting Syifa was.
[ "Hello... Assalamu'alaikum, Son. What's up?" ]
" Wa'alaikumsalam, Rey. I just want to ask you about the person you suspect wants to harm Syifa."
[" Why is it? It's night here, tomorrow we'll talk about this." ]
" Can't, Rey. Syifa disappeared, she was kidnapped earlier in the cafe."
[ "Whataa? Isn't that the same as Deni?" ]
" Yes, Rey. Syifa kidnapped time in toilet Cafe. Don't blame Deni, we're all trying to find Syifa."
[[Yes, I'll be home tonight. You find out Diana's whereabouts, she must have kidnapped Syifa." ]
" Diana? Diana who, Rey?"
["Diana was our schoolmate who always chased me and also wanted to harm Syifa at that time." ]
" Yes, I remember now. But, do you have a relationship with him?"
[[Of course not, a few weeks ago when Syifa and I were at the beach. Still like the old days, he's after me again even though I told him I never liked him." ]
" Oh yeah, then we'll look for Diana too."
[" Please find Syifa until you can, Son. I don't want Syifa to get hurt again." ]
" Alright, then we'll find Syifa. Assalamu'alaikum,"
Sony immediately told Deni to speed up the speed of his vehicle. As with Reyhan, Sony is also very concerned about the safety of Syifa.
Sony and Deni combed the streets to the north, while Ardan and Rendi to the south. They split up to quickly find Syifa. Sony has informed Ardan of Reyhan's suspicions to Diana, their former schoolmate.

Syifa disappeared for two days. Reyhan has also arrived in Jakarta. When Reyhan can't keep quiet, he must find the whereabouts of his lover.
Reyhan went into Syifa's room and lay down on the bed. There hasn't been a week that Reyhan left her, the girl's been missing somewhere.
" Dear, I promise I won't leave you again. In the past, when you went to college in America, you disappeared for five years, you had a disaster every time you were away from me. It's been a week now, you're gone again." Reyhan's inner.
While playing his phone, Reyhan suddenly saw the GPS application on his phone screen. He recalled, the necklace he bought in America was installed tracking device by the owner of the jewelry store as a security tool if time is lost. However, the tracking device's signal is only affordable within a five-kilometer radius.
" Hopefully Syifa is still wearing the necklace." Reyhan muttered looking excited again.
Reyhan contacted his friends to go around every corner of the city. Until the night is getting late, Ardan and Sony decided to go home because tomorrow there is a job that can not be left behind.
" Rey, me and Sony go home first. Tomorrow at noon I will come looking for Syifa again" said Ardan.
Now they sit in the garden to rest for a while. Their faces looked very tired from having a day wandering around the city without success. There was no sign of the signal connected between Reyhan's phone and Syifa's necklace.
" Yes, Rey. We went around all over the city but nothing came of it. What if we continue tomorrow out of town, for example to Bogor or Bandung?" sony.
" Well, have you found any trace of Diana?"
" No, Rey. His home address at school was now occupied by someone else. The house was sold three years ago and Diana was living in Japan with her parents."
" Huh..why is it this complicated!" lamented Reyhan.

In the morning, Syifa woke up. He was in a very quiet house. His hands and feet were tied so he could not move freely. The room was very dark because there was no light. Sunlight could not penetrate the black curtain-covered window.
" Damn...! Who they really are, three days here no boss here. What do they mean to hold me." Inner Syifa.
Syifa tried to find a gap to escape from the place but the guard outside was very tight. If you hear the sounds of birds chirping outside, Syifa suspects himself in the village or in the middle of the forest.
" Mas Reyhan, help me. I know you must have come to save me." murmured Syifa.
Before long, a man wearing a face mask came in to give food to Syifa. He placed the dish in front of Syifa and untied it in the girl's hand.
" Eat! Soon the Boss will come." The villain ordered.
" Who's your Boss? Why did he kidnap me?"
" Don't ask too many questions! Quickly finish your food!"
Syifa could not make a revolt, she ate her food quickly so that her body remained strong when she could escape later.
" Tell me, who told you to keep me here?"
" Later you can see it firsthand, you'll know our boss."
" You must be wrong people, I've never had a problem with anyone else."
" It's none of our business, miss. What matters is money."
" So you're doing this for money?"
" Of course, we'll do anything for the money!"
" You'll definitely regret having me!"
Syifa argued with the man until someone entered the room with some people behind her. With his haughty face, the man approached Syifa.
" I will never regret holding you, Syifa Azzahra!"
