It was late in the afternoon, now it was time for them to return to their homes. Then Miss Marni saw him, she asked Aliya why she had not come home yet. Aliya replied that she did not have a home for where she lived.
The owner of the rice shop felt sorry, he asked if he wanted to sleep there or not, but not with a bed, if Aliya wanted, he slept on a long chair. With pleasure, Aliya immediately nodded her mark she wanted.
"Yes, if you want to stay here. Please take good care of this shop. You can hold this key".
But her husband felt less trust in Aliya. Because they also just knew him, there was not even a day. But because it was his wife's request, he was forced to give up letting Aliya stay there.
Until now Aliya lived alone as soon as they left her. He then smiled happily finally he got a comfortable place to stay for him to sleep without having to be afraid of being disturbed by street thugs.
"I'd better go to the grave the night before I go to sleep, because I seem to be sleepy because I work half the day. My body feels so sore".
Aliya opened her rice dinner package, she saw the side dish Marni gave the roasted chicken that she definitely liked.
"Mmmmm, from the smell alone I like it a lot. It must be really good".
Aliya put it in her mouth, as she had just said. It felt really very good at making him unceasingly smile happily.
"I don't know how else to say a big thank you to Miss Marni. He was very kind to me when I had just known him hehehe... May the windfall of Bu Marni always abound. Amen".
Not long after that, he finished enjoying his dinner. And before going to bed, he did not forget to wash his face and brush his teeth. Then he came out, he felt very refreshed after cleansing his body.
"Now I sleep, I hope I sleep well" Aliya lay down, she used her bag as a pillow and her clothes she used as a blanket to cover her body.
And before Aliya closed her eyes, she touched her stomach. He felt something move inside there making him smile happily.
"Well, just this time I felt something move inside my stomach. I've never felt it all this time. Are you also happy my son hehehehe... Thank you for feeling what I feel. That's right, your mother is very happy to be able to get a job here and also a place to live. So for a while we'll be here until you're born into this world".
And again Aliya felt her little baby kick.
.
While Leonard who just returned from the office, he saw the entire house was already quiet except Zakira who was waiting for him in the living room.
"Leo, why did you just come home at this hour? You drunk?" he smelled his son's body smelling of alcohol. "Are you really drinking, Leo?".
"Mmmmm, what's wrong ma? Why is Mom waiting for me at this hour?".
"It's okay, mom's just worried about you. How can you drive a car like this? Please don't ever repeat this mistake again, please Leo".
"Mmmmm, I'm so tired ma. I want a break".
"No ma, I want a break".
Leonard climbed up the stairs to the floor of his room, and there he saw no one, either Naila and Reza or Sandro and his sister-in-law. Seeing that, he guessed that they were all asleep. He went straight into his room.
Chequek!
Leonard laid his body on the bed, with his head dizzy he raised his right hand above his head. He suddenly thought about Aliya, whether the child had left his house or not. Curious, he got up and stood out from inside his room straight towards Aliya's room.
Then look at the room not one bit from the inside emit a glow. Curious, he went inside to see Aliya's room so very dark, it was a sign Aliya was not there.
"Where did he go? Or did he really leave this house?".
Leonard turned on the lights, he saw the room without it so very quiet as it had no occupants. And it is true, he saw the usual official clothes Aliya wear lying on the bed with a folded shape.
"So the woman is really gone" he said in his heart. "But where did he go? Does he have a destination?" Leonard was worried, what if something happened to Aliya who was pregnant? Or don't. What if it rains like yesterday?.
Leonard leaves Aliya's room, and descends the stairs to the basement of her house. He then asked the car keys to the guard there to make the guard confused what was with his master who was in a hurry he did not know the direction Leonard was going.
"What's wrong? Why do you see it like that?" ask partner. "Let it be, Mr. Leo, it's been that way for a long time when midnight asked for a car key".
"Yes, but this is different. You didn't see that worry on Mr Leo's face? I've never seen him like this. I'm sure something must have happened? Didn't we?".
"No idea, hopefully nothing happens".
"Mmmmm, hopefully".
.
Now Leonard has been on the highway looking for Aliya's whereabouts. It was his hope that he met the innocent woman, because somehow he did not have the heart for her.
But it has been more than 1 hour he searched for the existence of Aliya, but he has not found any signs of its existence. Then Leonard pulled over his car, he saw the bridge across there, he then went down from the inside, walking towards the bridge to look for Aliya.
And once he got there, he still did not find Aliya, even very clearly Leonard sent them one by one.
"Ck, where exactly did that woman go?" Leonard began to feel tired, plus the cold air outside made him unable to linger there. Leonard got back in the car.
"Where else am I looking for him?".
Leonard fell silent, thinking about where Aliya had gone. And in accordance with what he guessed, he was very sure that Aliya was still in the vicinity where he parked the car. It's just that he doesn't know how to find it, because he's exhausted.
