Erik was still in his position, his world was completely tangled at the moment. Ralda and Alby who just got word from Nazia immediately go to Zevin's house. Ralda knew that her sister was sad.
The knock on the door woke Erik from his collapsed world, He immediately stood up wiping his wet cheek. Erik didn't want anyone to see his current slump.
"Sister..." Lirih Erik opened the door rather wide. He let his brother into his room.
"How are you doing ?" Ralda sat on the edge of the bed. He looked sad at his younger brother, his eyes were observant to see his sister's wet eyelashes that meant Erik was crying.
"I'm not okay, brother." Erik put his head in Ralda's lap. "He's gone, Maura must be scared by now. Is he healthy ? Has he eaten? Did the kidnapper treat her well? I was scared..very scared ! I'm claustrophobic..." Erik expressed the feelings he had been holding back. This man's voice sounded hoarse and weak.
Ralda shed her tears, today she saw again how her sister fell. This lap is also the place to lean to vent his feelings. Yes, Erik is fragile, very fragile. "Maura will be fine, rest assured ! Don't be discouraged you have to look for it again. I'm sure Maura is still in town." His words gave me spirit.
Erik did not answer and there was no movement. Ralda understood that this cold man had fallen asleep. A warm swipe from his brother's hand made Erik feel his mother's warmth again. Tiredness all over his body and heart drove Erik to sleep. Ralda also understood that her sister really loved her lover. This fragility, Ralda could see it clearly. And this is the second fragility Erik experienced after losing both of their parents.
Long enough Erik fell asleep with the position still berbantal on the lap of Ralda. Until Alby's wife felt numb, he slowly grabbed a pillow so that Erik was more comfortable to sleep, but the movement even made Erik wake up.
"Sorry Brother, I overslept must be my brother's leg numb. Straighten it on the bed." Erik rushed to sit down and helped straighten his sister's legs.
"It's okay, you need a break to gather energy. Sorry also because you woke up earlier brother wanted to take a pillow so you feel comfortable while sleeping." Papar Ralda while kneading his thighs.
"I've been feeling better, it's been nine o'clock I took a bath first sis." Erik grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.
"Wake warm water so you don't catch a cold." Ralda shouted a little.
...----------------...
After taking a bath, Erik came out of his room, until he did not find his brother again. But there's still Zevin and Nazia.
"Yes, brother, I fell asleep." Erik's papar followed Nazia's steps.
Zevin also stood by Erik and his wife. He was relieved that Erik was still eating. "Ralda is home, her son is sleepy. Alby also deployed his mainstay men to help find Maura." He said while pouring water into a glass.
"Yes Brother, after eating I go out again." Erik looked over for a moment and started eating.
"I'm coming with you." Zevin went up to the room to get his jacket and wallet.
In the dining room, Erik looked at Nazia as if asking how is this ? Zevin's wife nodded. "Let him come." Soft talk.
As planned, Erik and Zevin set out to find Maura back. They gathered the men whom Erik sent to find his beloved. That's where they gather. One by one they report. But the result is nil, there is no bright spot.
Erik and Zevin are still driving down the street, stopping in the street with CCTV cameras, and then visiting the surveillance office to find out. It was late but they still hoped for good news.
Time so quickly turned around that without feeling it had pointed at three o'clock in the evening, soon after dawn. Erik had no heart for Zevin, though the man said he wasn't sleepy. But the tired look on his face could not be covered. Erik decided to just go home at this time and hoped this was just a dream. The nightmare that happened when his eyes opened. Erik hopes that Maura will come to see him tomorrow.
"Sister, we're home, yeah I'm tired." Erik reasoned. Though he did not feel tired because he had time to sleep and rest.
"Are you sure ? It's morning soon." Zevin looked at the clock on his wrist.
"Yes, tomorrow we work. Let it be while working I will look for Maura's whereabouts. Looks like our opponent is pretty smart." Erik glanced briefly at his rearview mirror as it was about to turn.
"Yes you are right, because this is a serious matter then I will deploy the Jaya Group security team to make a move. When you get home, wake me up. Be careful driving !" Zevin arranged the backrest of his chair to make it more comfortable, before long this man fell asleep. This is how Zevin has to be strong for Erik's sake so as not to feel alone.
Erik smiled faintly. "Rest, Brother ! I know you're tired." He glanced at Zevin who started adventuring into dreamland. Erik stepped on the gas pedal above average due to the quiet road conditions.
