156. Arafah is missing

That day the atmosphere inside Fikri's house looked unusual. There are many people crowding there. Crying screams rang out inside the house to make residents concerned.

Usut had a mouth turned out to scream and cry it was Ayu who was hysterical because her only child was missing. Yes, Arafah is missing.

All the citizens who used to play with Arafah also talked a lot to explain what happened.

"But I'm sure Arafah has entered the house" said one of the women, who is a toddler's nanny at Fikri's neighbor's house.

"Yes. I also see," said another citizen.

"But Arafah never went into the house. He's not home !" yelling Ayu while crying.

"Ssttt ..., quiet Yu. Don't be angry. They were just giving info" Anna said, hugging Ayu tightly.

"But I never saw Arafah go into the Bund house. I can't believe Arafah was brought along without a look because I knew they were there. I just entered for a while for the naro dish Arafah was eating before ..," said Ayu in between her tears.

All the residents looked at each other confused because they believed Arafah entered the house earlier.

Suddenly Fikri entered the house. His face looks tense. When she saw her husband, she cried hysterically again.

Fikri tried to calm his wife while continuing to recite. Fikri's attitude that remained calm made everyone in the house amazed. Especially after he managed to bring Ayu into the room to rest.

"Sorry Bund. Could you please temenin Ayu for a moment in the room ?. I'm afraid Ayu will fight again later," said Fikri.

"Yes son," said Anna quickly.

"Still Bund," Fikri said with a smile.

Anna nodded then rushed into the room to accompany Ayu. Then Fikri looked at the residents who were crowding in his house and asked what really happened because before Fikri only knew Arafah was missing. Residents also tell stories alternately to make Fikri understand what happened.

While listening to the people, Bayan and Nathan barged in. The tension was clearly visible on their faces.

"We'd better call Police Bang" Nathan said impatiently.

"Ga is that easy Nath. After Abang reports missing persons are only responded to after the victim is missing for more than twenty-four hours. Arafah hasn't been in an hour. I thought I would search around the house first. Later that night, Abang made a report to the police station," said Fikri.

"That's right. Let's do the job now. Some are looking around the house, others are looking for a radius of one kilo meter from this house. If you don't meet, the search area can be expanded later" Bayan said, staring at everyone.

"Again Bayan. Let's find it now !" tell some people out loud.

Then the people dispersed. Bayan and some residents searched around the house, the rest spread to various corners of the complex.

When the Maghrib prayer reverberated, everyone stopped looking and continued again after performing the congregational Isya prayer.

Bayan went home first to replace his scabbard with trousers. Shortly after, Anna followed because she wanted to help her husband.

Bayan turned his head and smiled to see Anna open the door.

"Where is Ayu Bund's condition ?" asked Bayan while tidying up her clothes.

"Alhamdulillah is calmer. Only if Arafah inget he cried again. I was almost not strong enough to get him. It feels like losing the child a second time" said Anna in a stifled voice.

"But Mother do not show sadness in front of Ayu huh. Love positive motivation just let Ayu not dissolve in bad thoughts. Don't forget to take him to eat" Bayan said.

"Yes Well" said Anna.

"You go find Arafah again now" said Bayan, who was taken by Anna.

Soon, Bayan and Anna are seen coming out of the house and make a quick step towards Fikri's house. There they were greeted by residents who were already preparing to look for Arafah.

"So now we're expanding the search area for Mr Bayan ?" ask one of the residents.

"Betul Sir. We spread to the four corners of the road ahead there later," Bayan said.

The residents nodded and began to step out of Fikri's house.

The search for Arafat by Bayan, Nathan and Fikri continues despite their reporting of Arafat's disappearance to the Police. Nicko who could not help finding Arafah on the first day now also took part in the search. And this is the fifth day of Arafah's disappearance.

"I feel pessimistic Arafah can return to life Bund ...," said Ayu suddenly to surprise Anna.

"Yu Istighfar. Don't talk rich. Remember, speech is prayer. Especially if it comes out of a mother's mouth," said Anna did not like.

"I can't say Arafah Bund, I'm just talking about the worst. It's the fifth day. Arafah can live a normal life for five days. Living in a foreign place, maybe cold and without milk, also without the embrace of Me and Abinya," said Ayu riled while rubbing her wet eyes.

Anna took a deep breath and grabbed Ayu in her arms. Anna gently rubbed Ayu's back so that the woman was patient and strong to face something unexpected later. Ayu could only cry while hugging Arafah's beloved clothes.

While hugging each other, Anna and Ayu were surprised by the sound of a bell ringing loudly sign of someone coming to see you. The two broke down a hug and looked at each other in confusion.

"There's a Bund guest," said Ayu.

"Yes. Quickly open the door. Who knows the important guests who bring good news about Arafah," said Anna enthusiastically.

"Yes Bund. Let's go ahead together," asked Ayu while drying her wet face with tissue.

Then Anna and Ayu rushed out to open the gate. They were shocked to see two men in police uniforms.

"Good day Mothers" one of the policemen greeted me kindly.

"Good day sir. Is there anything we can help you with ?" anna asked while unlocking the gate.

"We from the police bring important news to Ananda Arafah's family. Can we talk to your biological parents or guardians of Ananda Arafah ?" ask the police.

"I'm Arafah's parents Sir, I'm His mother !" sahut Ayu quickly made the two policemen smile.

"alright. Look, Mom, Ananda Arafah's Mother's Son, who was reported missing a few days ago, has been found. Baby, his condition is not okay. Ananda Arafah was dehydrated and in shock. Now Ananda Arafah has been taken to the Police Hospital for help. We hope you come there quickly because Ananda Arafah is crying and calling her mother" the police said.

The police's words made Ayu and Anna's hearts beat faster. They are happy and panicked. Without wasting time they immediately rushed to the Police Hospital after the two policemen left to continue their duties.
