The Rania POV
Near midnight, me, Dimas, and my three mamas came home together in one car. The children along with baby sitters and uni have already gone home after the magrib. Andi invites Andien to go home with Andi.
On the way, Dimas's phone rang. Dimas frowned staring at the number on his phone screen.
" Who's Dim?"
I frowned while looking at him
" I don't know, I don't know this number."
" Just pick it up first, who knows it's important."
Sandra said from our back bench.
" So."
" Good night, Mr. Dimas."
" Yes, night. This who?"
Dimas then widened his eyes, then immediately pulled over his car.
" Who's Dim?"
" You're calling home now, ask if Iza's home?"
" Why?"
I immediately grabbed my bag that I put between my stool and Dimas, then pulled out my phone. While Dimas' phone connection was cut off, he stared at the street in front of him anxiously.
" What's up Dim?"
Mama Sandra asked along with my mama, but Dimas remained silent
" Yes mom."
Uni finally answered my phone, after many times I called him.
" Iza came home together, right, Uni?"
" No ma'am, he said he wanted to go home with his friend."
" Has he reached home?"
" Not mom, this is me still waiting for Iza to come home, even sleeping in front of the TV will be."
" Try uni check into her room."
Anxiety immediately approached the five of us who were on top of the car. Dimas tightened his jaw, clenched his hand on the steering wheel.
" Yes, ma'am, not home yet. The room is empty."
My eyes arrived - it was hot, my chest was tight. I threw my back against the back of the bench.
" Uni, now also lock all the doors. Do not open the door for anyone. I'll call Uni when we get home."
" Good mom."
I lowered my hand that was still clutching my phone, staring into the street in front of me with a pus.
" What's this in, Dimas? Tell us."
Mama Sandra urged us to tell her stories. Dimas was still silently neutralizing his feelings, as well as thinking.
" Some took Iza away ma, Iza hasn't come home yet."
" Someone took him away, that guy called me just now ma."
The sounds of fear and sadness of the three mama immediately filled the entire room of the car. My mother screamed hysterically, while mama Sandra and mama Vena hugged her to calm her down.
Dimas quickly turned the car around, then took us at high speed to a destination I didn't know where I was going. Mama Ve pulled out a cell phone from inside her bag, and spoke to someone.
I held my eyes back not to cry as hard as I could, trying to be strong and calm in this state.
" You checked Iza's phone GPS, is it still active?"
Just as I was about to swipe my phone screen, a call on behalf of Iza came into my phone.
" sister.. Older brother... Brother where?"
Shut up, no answer. My cry broke, because I didn't hear her voice. Dimas continued to focus on the road, mama Sandra and my mama were shouting - screaming Iza's name.
" House, papa tau."
" Hey!"
" Yzahoo!!!"
Dimas tightens the handle on the steering wheel.
" House, and you know. That's what he said Dim. Where's it!"
Our cries the women didn't make Dimas break his concentration, he was still driving at high speed. Mama Vena hung up on her phone, then gave me a hug again. The three of them were crying
Dimas stopped the car right in front of a big house, then turned off the car engine and got off. A security guard came out of his post to greet us, and Dimas and the security guard were fighting at the gate. I came straight down to them.
" You open it or I'll yell round up the residents to check out this house!"
" Can't sir, my boss won't let you in."
" My daughter is inside! Bajangan y'all!"
" Please sir.."
I begged, but the security guard didn't give me permission. He kicked us out with harsh words.
Before long, several cars and motorcycles stopped in front of the mansion. Stand side by side with our car which is parked first. Mama Vena came down and welcomed the arrival of several people who got off the car and motorcycle.
Two large men came to us who still forced the security guard to open the gate of the mansion.
" You open it or I make you die on the spot!"
His voice was slow, but the threat worked. One of the two big men touched the weapon that was slung around his waist. The security guard ran away leaving us with a frightened face. Before long, the gate opened. Dimas and I immediately ran into the spacious courtyard before reaching the door of the mansion inside.
The two big men preceded my steps, the three with Dimas they immediately broke down the door of the house and went straight inside, I followed their steps from behind.
" Yyzoooo!!"
My daughter was lying on the floor, with her face full of blood and her clothes torn in some parts. Iza just kept quiet and didn't answer me, her eyes closed. Some young men standing nearby were staring at us.
" How dare you touch my daughter!"
Dimas growled furiously, his eyes red, his hands clenched.
" Good night dear Mr. Dimas."
Another young man came from another room in the back and walked up to his frightened friends, along with several men entering the house, friends of the two big men. As the young man greeting Dimas widened his eyes, fear was evident on his face. I don't think he took into account the arrival of this many people to help us.
" What did you do to my son, what's wrong?"
The young man again put on a haughty face, hid his fear earlier and looked sharply at Dimas
" Mr Dimas may have the answer, why don't you ask him directly."
" If what you're talking about is what I did with your mother, I reiterate. I didn't do anything with your mother."
The young man smiled sinisterly, throwing away his face
" Bullshit, you're the same as my mama. A liar!"
He then looked at Dimas with a shot
" Over and again - the time I caught you two, you said you didn't do anything. I'm not a kid you can lie to, what else do you two do in a hotel, if not let go of your savage lusts!!"
" We went to the hotel, both of us. But we didn't go into the hotel room alone with your mother, I swear I didn't touch your mother at all. You can ask the hotel staff there. What I did with your mother."
" But Dimas.. Your money would be enough to shut up people like them, don't play me."
" Ok, then you ask the owner. He was with us during our stay at the hotel. We were not alone at the time. I'm gonna call him right now, just so you know what you're thinking is wrong."
" Don't play me!"
" I'm not playing you!"
Dimas came closer to him, his anger like wanting to be expelled from his body.
" Your mother who is crazy about me, where is she now!!"
The young man was silent, throwing his face away in a fit of annoyance when Dimas asked where his mother was. This opportunity was used by Dimas to move quickly towards him, after two large men had given the code to go forward.
Just a moment, some men standing near Iza can be paralyzed by a big man with his friends. While Dimas with the young man earlier, involved in a fierce fight. I immediately ran towards Iza, then asked a few people from the big man's friend to lift Iza's body out of the house.
I followed the steps of the man who lifted Iza's body from behind,
" Sir.."
" Tarr's.. Tarr's.."
" Dimaaaassa!!!"
I stopped my steps and turned around to chase after Dimas.
