"Wouldn't you be with my wife the last time? Even I could see, as you hugged her very tightly. In fact, you know that the woman you're hugging already has a husband!"
Alex also felt dislike, when the shadow of Leon who was hugging Nara crossed his mind.
"Yes, I did hug your wife, because at that time Nara was very sad to see her husband paying more attention to other women, than his own wife! After that, I drove Nara back to the office. So, you better not accuse me without proof!" Leon also did not want to lose, when he heard the accusations that Alex gave him at this time.
The man sat on the sofa. Hearing Leon's words made her feel more guilty for Nara.
Seeing this, Leon was also concerned. When Alex showed a confused face. Because it seems he keeps thinking, to find the whereabouts of his wife Nara. Although Leon does not like Alex very much, but the man tried to guess where Nara is now.
"You'd better go back to your apartment. It's possible that Nara has gone back there," Leon suggested.
Alex immediately took his phone, because he intended to call the security guard who served there, to make sure Nara had returned to the apartment or not.
Drrta! Drrta! Drrta!
A security guard who is currently in front of the apartment door, immediately took his cellphone to pick up the phone call. When he finds out that it was a phone call from Alex, who is one of the old residents in the apartment where he works.
("Hello, Mr. Alex, what's wrong?")
Hearing the security guard question named Yadi, Alex immediately asked for whereabouts
Nara to the man.
("Sir Yadi. Did you see my wife Nara coming home to the apartment?")
Yadi frowned, then answered the question asked by Alex with confidence.
|"No, Sir. I haven't seen Nara's mother since."
|"Are you sure?")
|"Yes, Mr. Alex. I'm very sure. Because ever since you left the apartment until now, I've been standing guard at the door. Not moving at all.")
Alex was silent. When he saw the watch on his wrist he showed it at 09:00 p.m.
("Sir Alex. Hola! Hello!")
Alex who had been busy daydreaming finally realized. When he heard the voice of Yadi who kept calling himself.
("Yes, Mr. Yadi, sorry. Oh yeah, can I ask you a favor? Later if you see my wife coming home to the apartment, please call me immediately.")
("Good, sir. You just calm down.")
Alex hung up the phone with frustration. Leon who had just put on his clothes, immediately came over to the man.
"Hows it? Has Nara gone back to your apartment?" leon asked who was worried about the woman's current condition.
However, Alex just shook his head. It's like being lazy to say. Because his mind is not calm right now.
"I think maybe now he's going home to his parents to calm down."
Hearing Leon's words, Alex looked straight at the man, then immediately stood up from his seat.
"Then I'll go to her parents' house right now. Thanks for your help."
Leon nodded his head when he heard Alex's words of thanks. Since it was not usually that arrogant man, it was a little humbling to him.
While Alex, he rushes down from Leon's apartment. Because tonight he also wants to go to his in-laws' house, which is not far from the man's apartment.
Seeing Alex leaving, Leon smiled faintly at the man.
'Being together doesn't matter. After leaving, I felt lost. Though, you're very lucky to get a woman as good as Nara.'
There was a feeling of envy, as well as unwillingness that Leon felt. However, the man could do nothing. Because he is self-aware of his position now. Alex is the one who is more worthy to find the whereabouts of his wife, making Leon decide to go into the apartment and hope, if Nara is currently in good shape.

It didn't take long for Alex to arrive at her in-laws' residence. However, while in front of the fence there was a hint of doubt in the man's heart. Because he was afraid if his in-laws knew about the problems that befell him and also Nara at this time when Alex who from earlier was just silent did not flinch, tapa accidentally Ferdi who is now busy picking guitars on the porch of the house, seeing the presence of his brother-in-law. Ferdi quickly called out to Alex, making the man look straight at him.
"Mr Alex!" jerdi's shout made Haris and Elma who were currently sitting while watching television, look at each other.
While Alex, he had no choice but to approach his sister-in-law.
"Alone, Bang. Where's Nara?" tanya Ferdi made Alex immediately stop his steps, when he heard the question from the man.
"Wasn't your brother, t-not here, Fer?" ask Alex in a stammer.
Hearing that Ferdi immediately shook his head.
"Where did Nara go, Lex?" elma asked who accelerated her pace. When Ja accidentally heard his son-in-law's question, to Ferdi just now.
Alex was silent. His mind is getting more confused. Nara was not at her parents' house.
Haris who knew about it tried to calm down. Because he did not want to show his panic in front of his wife, as well as his daughter-in-law.
Now Haris, Elma, Ferdi, and Alex are sitting in the family's living room. Alex lowered his head. It looks like a defendant who is currently in court.
"Son Alex, you better explain to us. Why did you lose your wife?" asked Haris softly. Because he believes there must be a reason, why his daughter to do reckless like that.
Alex also ventured to look at his father-in-law and explain all the problems that occurred between him and his wife Nara.
When hearing Alex's explanation, Haris also tried to understand the household problems faced by the newlyweds.
"I'm sorry Alex, Pa. Alex didn't mean to hurt Nara. At that time Alex thought, Alex's friend needed help immediately and Alex did not want Nara to make a scene again. Alex forbids Nara from going to the hospital with us."
Right now, Haris could see the look of the frustrated face shown by his son-in-law. He could understand if Alex's mind was struggling to think about his daughter's whereabouts now.
"Pope understand, Lex. Papa knows Nara Papa's daughter sometimes likes to act rashly. Until he often makes careless actions. Papa hope, next time Alex can understand him. Especially if you just got married. Because it unites two opposing properties, it is sometimes very difficult.
So, there must be one who relents. If you still want to keep your household. However, the pebbles present in the household are common. Because every married couple will experience it."
Alex was silent. When hearing the message given by Haris just now. He felt moved, because Haris could understand and did not corner himself for Nara's departure.
"Good, Pa. Alex promised, next time Alex will be more patient again and also relented, when faced with the attitude of Nara. Really Alex is sorry and doesn't want this problem to happen again."
Right now, it feels like Alex is eager to shed tears. But he tried to hold it. Because the man did not want to look weak in front of his in-laws.
"Son Alex, you'd better stay here tonight. It's late at night anyway. It's not good to drive these nights" Elma told the man.
"Yes, Alex. Better get some sleep here. You can stay in the room that used to be occupied by Nara. Tomorrow morning we will think again about where Nara is," explained Haris who tried to give understanding to his son-in-law.
"Hmm, but, Pa. Shouldn't we just go to the police. Alex was afraid of something happening to Nara," asked the man who still showed a worried look.
Hearing the words of his brother-in-law, Ferdi also spoke up.
"Mang Alex take it easy. Nara's brother is a karate master, Bang. Impossible is a black belt, he can not keep himself from the bad guys," explained Ferdi who got the nod from Haris.
"Yes, Alex. Papa is sure that at this time Nara just went somewhere to calm down. So, we better pray. Hopefully tomorrow we get some good news, about Nara's whereabouts."
Finally Alex was able to breathe a little relieved, when he heard the explanation given by Ferdi and his father-in-law. He agreed to stay there and immediately went to Nara's room, so he could rest his body. Because tomorrow he must have extra energy to find the whereabouts of his wife.

It is currently in a room dominated by pink and also filled with stuffed rabbits, which Alex is sure, if it is his wife's favorite doll. The man felt warmth, as well as voidness in his heart at this moment.
Alex took one of the dolls and kissed and hugged her very tightly. He could feel the smell of his wife there. Making himself feel a deepening longing.
'Nara, please don't torture me like this. I really miss you, Nara.'
Alex looks very weak. Without realizing it, a single tear escaped in the corner of his eye. Because of the guilt that was increasingly torturous, making Alex very sorry to have said harshly to the woman.
Until the man's eyes were fixed on one of the neatly arranged photo albums in the closet. Alex only realized, if all this time he had never kept a single photo of Nara, in his phone.
'Hmm, later if we meet, I'd like to share, if my photo gallery will be filled with your picture, Nara, ' Alex said when he saw the photo of the woman still wearing a white-gray uniform.
However, suddenly Alex's gaze was fixed on a photo of a little girl with bangs that almost covered her eyes. Looking at the photo, it made Alex remember someone who had appeared in his past
"No way," said Alex then quickly flipped the photo album, in order to find other photos that could strengthen his current assumptions.
Until Alex's gaze was fixed on a photo of a little girl with her hair tucked back, while holding a stuffed rabbit. Alex knew very well about the rabbit doll in the photo. Because he had immortalized the doll in his phone.
Alex quickly picks up his cell phone, to make sure the rabbit doll is the same one he picked up on the riverbank 16 years ago.
However, how surprised the man was. When he knew a truth that shocked him.
'Nay. J-so, N-nara is the little girl I met 16 years ago? The little girl I called Naya and the scar on Nara's arm, it was a scar as she was almost washed away in the river. Oh, dearGod. P-whenahana, I have been trying to find the whereabouts of the little girl and it turns out, the little girl I was looking for is beside me.'
Alex was silent. Because his feelings are mixed now. He knew the little girl he met 16 years ago was angry with him. Because he didn't keep his promise to meet by the river. Alex did not come. It's just that he's too late to keep his promise.
Because when Alex went to that place, little Alex did not find Nara's whereabouts there. Because he only found a stuffed rabbit lying on the riverbank.
Alex knew it was the little girl's doll. Because it seems Nara deliberately threw it into the river. Remembering the doll is a doll given by Alex. As a sign of their friendship that has been established, when they were children.
***
While elsewhere. There was a woman who was restless with reddened eyes. He wanted to close his eyes. However, the shadow of a gentleman flashed through his mind.
The woman was none other than Nara who chose to calm herself down somewhere. Because he felt sad, when Alex said hard enough to him, in front of Keysa.
Because Nara was so sure, if the woman wanted to take her husband. Keysa is always present wherever he and Alex are.
'Ko Alex. It seems she still loves Keysa. Because of the evidence, he's still defending that woman rather than me his wife. Means the declaration of love that he has been saying to me, just his wits. That I may give up my body and my holiness to him. In Alex's heart, I still love that woman.
Hiks-hiks.'
Nara is crying now. Tears flowed in the corner of the woman's eyes. To be able to vent the pain of heart, as well as disappointment to her husband. Until bad thoughts continue to appear in the
the lbenak. When Nara imagined Alex who is now with Keysa. Maybe he was having fun with that woman.
