In the big house owned by the Wijaya family, the middle-aged man walked back and forth while sucking a cigar beside his swimming pool.
"You've contacted all of Aliya's friends you know?" ask Mr. Sahid on two of his thugs.
"Here you go, sir."
"Where is my son now?" ask him with anger.
There were no answers from the two men.
Tap tap tap.
The footsteps of the man's pantofel shoes came from the direction of the living room to the poolside to meet Mr. Sahid.
"Good day, sir!" Greet the man in the police uniform in front of Mr. Sahid.
"Amir, hello how are you? you look handsome now," said Mr. Sahid with a radiant face.
"Good, Sir."
"Don't call me sir, just call me Dad, you'll soon be my son-in-law, right?"
Mr. Sahid rolled his eyes as he patted the man's shoulder before him.
Amir chuckled there, his childhood best friend will now be his wife after they separated for 10 years.
"Look sir, uh I mean Dad, is there any word from Aliya like someone contacted you recently?" ask Amir.
"Nobody called me, do you know anything about Aliya right now?"
"Watch the news on tv now, Dad!" Amir stepped towards the large-sized tv in the middle room.
"Where is the remote?" muttered the man.
"This, please!" Mr. Sahid handed it to Amir.
Amir was looking for a news channel that told him about today's robbery.
"What does that mean? I still don't understand" said the old man.
"Those three robbers took three hostages, and one of them was Aliya."
"WHAT?!"
"Ba-ba-how did that happen?" pekik Mr. Sahid.
"I don't know how Aliya got there? and he didn't recognize me" Sahid said.
"Hmmm that boy, maybe he forgot because of this change in body shape, you used to be fat" he said.
"It's possible, now I'm very worried about Aliya, because one of the hostages was found dead."
"Jeez, please find Aliya, find her, son!"
His ink pulled the collar of Amir's uniform.
"Well Dad, I will do a search immediately, please let me know if anyone calls you for ransom or something like that" Amir said.
Mr. Sahid nodded, his sad face was very visible on his vulnerable face.

Aliya is at war with dozens of cockroaches who always pass in Alex's apartment. Shouts for the sake of screams were created from his thin lips while holding the handle of the broom.
"Whispering...!!!" alex covered his face with a pillow.
"Ihhhh.. What kind of creature do you feel at home to be the president of cockroaches!" Maki Aliya's.
She came up to Alex, who was lying on his bed.
"Come, take me, we'll find some insect spray!" get Aliya to throw the broomstick on the floor and pull Alex's burly hand firmly.
"What the hell?! Don't want to!" argue Alex.
"Let's go with aaaa..."
Aliya's tiny body was attracted by the man and hit the chest of his field.
Both eyes meet each other. The instant silence was added again as if time had stopped in the room.
Suddenly a cockroach landed on Alex's head and made the girl spontaneously grab the thick book on the small table beside his bed.
Plaque!
"Oh...!" alex shouted as he touched the body of a large cockroach that had been smashed to the head.
"Yuh... so disgust...!!!" Aliya immediately stood on Alex's bed with a panic jump, but the girl accidentally stepped on the proud junior of the man.
"Gosh, what have I done? Aaaaaa!" pekik Aliya immediately ran towards the bathroom to hide.
"It's better to meet a cockroach than to get beaten up by that handsome monster," muttered Aliya directly locking the bathroom door and holding the doorknob.
"IDIOT GIRL...!!!"
Alex yelled from outside the bathroom and banged on the door.
"OPEN THE DOOR...!!!" furious Alex.
"No...!" sahut Aliya from within.
"OPEN THE DOOR OR..."
"You're gonna shoot me, right? I understand your threat" Aliya said.
Suddenly a bullet from a firearm with a silencer penetrated the bathroom door. It was almost the bullet hit Aliya's leg.
My God, this guy is crazy.
Inner Aliya cursed in her heart that began to worry in fear.
"Okay, stop your fire! I'm gonna get out, you promise you don't shoot me?"
Clik.
Slowly the girl opened the door of her bathroom while peeking.
Alex immediately prepared at gunpoint to the girl's forehead.
"You promised you wouldn't shoot me if I opened the door?" aliya was terrified.
"When did I promise you?" Alex looked at Aliya furiously.
"Ta-ta-but, hmmm well forgive me... I'm resigned if you want to kill me, but at least..."
Suddenly a starving stomach sound was created from Aliya's slender stomach.
"No, you heard, right? at least before you kill me, please feed me.." Aliya's pinta showed the clearest face she had as she winked.
"You really are. aargghh...!"
Alex leaves in front of Aliya. The man grabbed the black jacket by the side of his bed after keeping his gun in a hidden place.
"Come, come with me!" take Alex.
The girl looked at Alex with a confused face as she turned her index finger into her ear hole while saying, "I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"I won't say it twice."
Alex opened the door to his apartment to the outside.
"Wait...!" yelled Aliya and immediately ran, he accidentally hit Alex's back.
"Ma-sorry..." Aliya instead hugged Alex from behind drowning her face. Fear melanda again when he had to look at the man's face.
"Wow, what a sight."
Prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok.
A well-built man patted his own hand. Her blond hair glistened in the light reflection of the lights in the corridor.
"I almost believe you're a same-sex person, but now, I think the news is just a figment, you still like girls."
"Well, then what are you doing here? just bother me to date!" Alex clasped both hands of Aliya who was hugging her waist.
Degs...
Aliya's heart beats increasingly irregularly when getting a touch of Alex's hand.
Wait a minute, did I hear the word courtship? me and Alex, dating? my God, what does he mean he said he and I were dating?
Aliya drowned her face in the back of her captor.
