The task of going to the victim's family and informing the news of grief is the task that detective Keiko hates most even though it is not as difficult as this task for detective Egan. But now this annoying task feels twice as stifling as detective Keiko for having to give this sad news to the person she personally knows, who has one corner of her heart.

But the rest of detective Keiko's soul is still burning, increasingly trying to hunt down who has lost the life of his little friend. It was clearly visible from his face that continued to turn red and his eyes that continued to stare sharply like never before.

“You want me to contact Bu Alana?“ detective Egan asks because he knows that this task has become difficult for detective Keiko several times.

“Ngga. Let me come to Alana's mom and tell her.“

“True lo can?“ detective Egan is unsure.

After contacting detectives Mustofa and Bima, to solve the case of the disappearance of Diatmika.

“So this case was returned to you?“ ask detective Bima.

“It looks like so,” replied detective Egan.

“How come, we started this case four of us but in the end this case turned into a murder case completely,” said detective Bima.

“Really, I'm happier if this case remains a missing person case,” ujae detective Keiko feels blue.

And in the end they both use private cars owned by detective Keiko, not using the service car as usual. Detective Keiko wants to come as and deliver this bad news as a family instead of a police officer.

Once again they came to Alana's house. But this time, there is no hope that covers the heart of detective Keiko because she knows that Diatmika has been found in a situation that she never expected before.

Detective Keiko stood for a moment in front of the green-colored door, let out a long sigh and started knocking on the door.

Just two kalidetective Keiko knocked on the door, the door was opened from inside the house by Ms. Alana.

“Hai darling. Let's go in son,” welcome Alana.

Detective Keiko forced herself to put a smile on her face and hugged Alana. After that, detective Keiko and detective Egan walk into Alana's house.

Back, the warm atmosphere ambushed the hearts of the two detectives because of the arrangement of Alana's living room that was so slick and pleasing to the eye.

“Why are you guys just standing? Sit down,” said bu Alana is always friendly.

Detectives Keiko and Egan obeyed Alana's orders and immediately sat down on a soft and comfortable sofa. It was as if the sofa wanted to swallow them in comfort until almost they were also what their purpose was to come to it.

“So, have there been any developments from the Diatmika disappearance case?“ ask Alana's mom excitedly.

Detective Egan looked towards detective Keiko and took a deep breath and began to say, “That was the purpose we came here today.“

“Creally Kei? Oh thank goodness, there has finally been progress as well,” said bu Alana is still excited.

Detective Keiko was still speechless until Alana finally called him.

“How so? How's the latest? Since yesterday you haven't been telling mom.“

Detective Keiko took a deep breath and tried to control herself.

“Bu... If this day brings bad news for mom, how?“ ask detective Keiko.

Hearing the statement, Ms. Alana was silent for a few minutes, leaning her shoulders against the soft sofa. Ms. Alana looked up at the sky that afternoon which looked orange in part, through the large window in the room.

“Actually, I'm already very tired Kei,” said bu Alana still looking at the sky.

“Bu.. “.

“Mom didn't even expect much more. For the mother, Diatmika comes home under any circumstances, the mother is ready and will receive it with a carefree heart.“

“Bu...” detective Keiko said while shedding tears.

“Have been three days in a row, mom dreamed Diatmika came home with a glowing face and as sweet as it was. But I know, it's not a good sign, anyway,” the eyes of Alana's mother now turned from the afternoon sky towards the face of detective Keiko and Alana's mother realized the tears that fell soaked both cheeks of detective Keiko.

“Why are you crying?“ ask Alana with a smile.

“We've found Diatmika ma'am. But at this time he is no longer alive in the autopsy room,” replied detective Keiko sobbed holding back her tears.

“Finally...today will be mother's darling, son's mother's stau-only home too. God has granted that prayer,” said Ms. Alana still smiling.

“How does God grant mother's prayer, when Diatmika returns home in a lifeless state?“ ask detective Keiko.

“My son Keiko, a child I love even though I was never in my womb, whatever happened to my mother and Diatmika is a destiny we cannot block his path. I just wish I could see her one last time. I didn't get to see her when I opened my eyes after the surgery and I asked God to give me a chance to see her again.“

Detectives Keiko and Egan can only be silent to hear the words of Ms. Alana who although firm but clearly heard from her trembling tone that she also felt a great destruction. It is only because of his love for God that makes him strong to accept the life destiny that has been outlined.

“Bu Alana, you still have to come to the autopsy room and identify the body of Diatmika,” said detective Egan hesitated.

“When? Can now?“ ask Alana ma'am.

“Can be, but you should know that Diatmika's condition is not in good condition,” Detective Keiko tried to explain.

“How do you mean nak?“ ask Alana ma'am.

“Diatmika Facade has been mummified naturally,” detective Egan trying to help answer.

“Termumification? Diatmika to mummy?“ asked Ms. Alana to pull her body forward, changing her sitting position that was initially leaning is now actually protruding forward.

“Betul tube. Fakhya may no longer recognize me,” replied detective Egan.

Once again Ms. Alana laid her back on the sofa she was sitting on, then pensively said for a moment again, “Whatever the shape, I will still accept the Diatmika. Whatever the form for me the diatmika will always be the same, it will always be beautiful. Sorry Keiko, even Diatmika is much prettier than you.“

Ms. Alana again smiled broadly and looked at meguyup towards detective Keiko who was now crying sobbing no matter the circumstances surrounding her.
