Liz Nadia's

Between Diraga, Zack and Kahfi

Liz Nadiah seemed to no longer care about Andromeda's babbling moments before - about the ridiculous thing that had never been on her life agenda, while in the city she now lives in. Except months ago, a vague form of hope given by Kenan Lingga, in a different passage of time and background - it was clearly another.

Next, the chatter about the kidnapping of Liz Nadiah, also dozens of people who were held captive in the hills far away, became a serious discussion that was enough to make Andromeda and Tirta Patih flabbergasted. This time the explanation that Liz Nadiah spoke was more detailed than before, which she revealed to Andromeda.

"Is this ... Zack Shangra you mean, Miss Nadiah?"

A phone with a screen on, proffered Tirta Patih on Liz Nadiah, who then also caught Andromeda's eyes.

"My guess is also that person, Tirta," Andromeda said after seeing a clear portrait plastered on the screen. A photo uploaded on social media belonging to Zack Shangra, set in a new hotel currently managed by the amnesiac man.

Tirta Patih nodded in approval, then shifted her focus back to the tepid Liz Nadiah staring at the photo without a blink. Then it looks even glazed a moment later.

"Gift. You okay?" Andromeda's palm gently patted the girl's shoulder.

Suffice to successfully shift his dimension, Liz Nadiah looked up at Andromeda. Two drops of his eyes fell through his cheeks. "I'm fine" he said, wiping the rest of the trash.

"Then what, Miss Nadiah? Is the person in the photo, really Zack Shangra who you're referring to?" Tirta Patih took the question, made sure.

With a slow motion, Liz Nadiah nodded her head. "You're right, Mr. Tirta. He's the one."

The spontaneous answer left Andromeda shocked.

If so ... that means ... Nadiah is Zack Shangra's father's younger brother?

At first, he was just guessing the origin. Then brushed off his thoughts with us, 'there might be another Zack Shangra in a city of this size'. But his guess did not miss at all. It was indeed the Zack Shangra he had known a few months ago.

In contrast to Andromeda, a tinge of stunned feeling was painted on the face of Tirta Patih.

"Diraga Madewa is not a random person" he said. "We won't be easy to deal with. He could even escape the law, in his big case a few years ago, with just a flick of his finger. Until now, the case is still neat, without the smell of media sebit."

Andromeda turned her wrinkled face at the man. His expression changed with a look as if in disbelief.

Right, he forgot ... Zack Shangra is the son of Diraga Madewa, as well as his uncle, Jennefit Moon.

So ... who kidnapped Nadiah, was that old man?

"What kind of big case do you mean, Tir?" Andromeda wants to know.

Liz Nadiah also put on a curious face.

For a moment Tirta Patih exhaled his heavy breath. Slightly tucked away in between - like a sense that he finds hard to explain. "Case of serial murder. With internal organ harvesting from its victims, to be sold abroad," he said, then threw his back on the back of the sofa he was sitting on.

That answer of course made the pair of humans before him shocked back, but the times felt even more jolting.

"Serial murder?" Liz Nadiah repeated with a dumbfounded face.

..........

The window of the room was left open very wide. The wind breathed itself confidently into it.

On the table by the door, a tray of food complete with milk and fruits, still seemed intact without being touched. Zack Shangra was still trembling in silence. For three days he locked himself in his room. His mind is still fucked. His handsome face even looks more tangled without the usual touch of care he does.

Kahfi was reported missing after the bus accident a dozen years ago. And until now .. never a single word that says the man has been found.

At the same time, a metallic crackling clashed from the direction of the door, distracting him. Quickly, the documents were hidden by Zack Shangra under a pillow beside him. "Papa."

Diraga Madewa appeared with a fatherly smile. The old man then walked over towards Zack Shangra who was still sitting leaning on the head of the bed. "Did you hear you're not well, Zack?"

Zack Shangra nodded. "Just a little unwell, Pa."

"Papa will call Doctor Wang here to check on you." Now Diraga positioned himself sitting on the edge of his son's bed.

"No need, Pa. I've been feeling a lot better."

Diraga smile. "If it's better, why would you let it cool down?" At first glance, he pointed his hand towards the table containing the food tray.

"I'll eat it later."

"Alright," said Diraga not to argue that. "Dark ... Papa wants to talk to you, "he continued coldly looking at his son.

"Seems serious?" Zack Shangra attacked curiously.

With a faint smile, Diraga nodded. "You're right, son."

"Tell me, Papa."

The sky seems to rise from its place. Tucked both palms in her pants pocket, then walked towards the gaping window. "Papa will be out of the country, in a time that cannot be determined," he said without turning his head.

Zack Shangra looked cringing. He looked at the old back but still firmly it with a questionable expression. "Why suddenly? What's up?"

Several birds lined up to fill a cable at the end of the road in front of his house, caught Diraga's eyes quite murky. But the birds are not the cause - of course. "There is a business interest, regarding the expansion of the club business that Papa will open in one of the cities, in the country."

"Then?"

Diraga began to turn around, staring at Zack Shangra, shady. "Papa wants you to manage everything well."

Zack Shangra caught nothing else from that face. "Why do I feel Papa is hiding something from me?"

Thats stunning. Consider it an advantage. Diraga was always amazed by the ability to observe the expressions mastered by his son. It was he who sent the man only to the business department. But it turns out there are other advantages that are quite profitable, especially in the business of attracting large investors for his company.

"Mirh ...." With a dragging step, Diraga again walked up to his son, then stood facing the young man while keeping his palm in his pants pocket. "Papa simply advised .. don't believe any news that makes it difficult also hinders your steps. You're Papa's son. You were born from the womb of your mother-Linda Madewa. Even if he's gone, but he'll be very disappointed, if you have any other beliefs about our family."

There was a screeching swirling through Zack Shangra's heart passage. "Did you know?"

With a smile and a slow nod, Diraga said, "Papa knows. That guy named Kahfi is bothering you enough. But Papa insists on you. That guy is just a guy who happens to look like you. And Papa

... Been investigating before you."

Zack Shangra was quite surprised by that. "Then? How'd it go?"

"He's dead. His tomb is secluded at the end of the forest. It is still one of the areas where the accident occurred. His body was found to have been badly destroyed. The rest of the wild animals in the middle of the forest, by a firewood seeker. Because of the ignorance of communication, as well as the lack of knowledge of the law, the man buried him alone."
