Love for Zahra (END)

29. As Planned

"Opo yok? Ono hitch no?" ask someone on the phone.

(How? Is there a hitch?)

"Yo safe ta bro. I'm not going to Bromo. Um when did it come?" brian's still driving Zahra's car.

(Yes safe dong bro. I'm on my way to Bromo. When did you catch up?)

"Yet. Relax mariki I nyulus rono. Don't you know omah e?"

(OKAY. Relax.I'll be there soon. Do you know his house?)

"I ngetutno GPS sing umak kek i. Is it GPS e? I wes ndek Poncokusumo area."

(I'm following the GPS you sent. Is this really the GPS? I'm already at Poncokusumo.)

"OKAY. Bener. Tutno ae GPS. Mariki I was following. Arek and yok opo? Wes is aware of gurung?" said the guy across the phone asking Zahra.

(OKAY. That's already true. Just follow the GPS. I'll catch up soon. How's things going? Already conscious yet?)

"Neckless. Yowes doesn't patent sek yo bro. I don't like my spit. Check the teapot." Brian glanced at Zahra who was still sleeping beside him.

(Yet. Yeah, I turned it off, bro. So I'll get there quickly.)

He cut his phone. Accelerate the speed of the car in his vehicle to the villa rented by Bian at the end of the Tengger mountains.

"Dim, Zahra hasn't come back yet?" rio asked Dimas who was sitting fixing the customer's bike.

"Not yet, the car doesn't exist" Dimas replied.

"So long ago, he came out. Until it closes the gini. He went straight home."

"Maybe. Try you on the phone. Ask there," Dimas said, keeping his focus on his work.

"E number e arek issue is not active. Mangkane I'm male kuawtir, Dim," Rio said using the Japanese language.

(The problem is that the number is that the child is inactive. I'm worried, Dim.)

"Dungaren arek iku hapene is not active, Takok o Ega. Ambe Ega most arek e." Dimas. He also started to worry about Zahra.

(Tumben once the child's phone is off. Ask Ega. Maybe he's the same Ega.)

"Let's go, sek can't e." Rio picked up his phone and tried to contact Ega.

(Yes. Just sec. I'll try it first.)

"Ga, Zahra is with you?" rio asked to the point once the connecting tone was connected.

"No. He said shopping again. I'm back in this office. What's up?" ask Ega back. He immediately tensed up and his mind began to think no-no.

"He's not back yet. The number is not active I call. Yes, let me know if he tells you,"

"OKAY. I'll come back soon. I saw him at his house."

Rio turned off his phone. Dimas was looking forward to Zahra's news to Rio. However, the man shook his head in response to Dimas.

"Tumben once Zahra came out for so long. Not usually," muttered Dimas.

"Yes, soon we close it. I rush back to see Zahra at home" Rio said.

"OKAY. I'll finish this first. I'm coming with you" Dimas hastily finished his work. Rio nodded and left Dimas towards Zahra's room.

The man sat in the chair that Zahra used to occupy. He wondered where his cousin had gone. He also sends a message to Niena and Dea asking for the girl's whereabouts.

The two girls he contacted replied that Zahra was not with them. That made Rio even more worried.

He decided to call Efelin to ask if Zahra had come home or not.

Again the answer he received made him even more worried. Zahra hasn't gotten home yet said her sister. Where did the girl go? He was guessing at himself with an increasingly worried feeling.

"Yo. Come on!" bring Dimas who has finished cleaning up.

"Zahra is not at his house" Rio said.

"You sure?" Dimas.

Dimas sat in the front seat of Rio. The man was also worried about Zahra. The two men thought about where he was going. It's not usually that the girl goes away long ago like this.

Rio is the same. He regretted not accompanying his brother away today. He wondered where the girl was going. Both of his close friends also did not know of his whereabouts.

"Where are you going, Ma'am? You don't usually go away for long. Where HP is no longer active," said Rio gusar rubbed his face rough.

"We're looking where that is. Who knows his car broke down his HP ran out of battery," suggested Dimas.

"Look on. Than we're staying here."

They both left the room. Closing all the gates of the workshop because all the employees have gone home. Rio also contacted Ega if he and Dimas were looking for Zahra around the city.

At Zahra's house, Efelin and the mother were sitting in the living room waiting for Zahra to return home. Not usually the girls have not been home until late at night like this.

Even this day, the mother's feelings were very unpleasant. He was really worried about his eldest son. Plus Efelin told me that this afternoon Rio called himself asking for Zahra's whereabouts.

"Try, Nduk, you call Rio again. Ask your sister where," the mother ordered.

"Yes, Bun," the girl searched Rio's mobile number and contacted him. Wait a few moments until the call is lifted.

"Sister Rio, is it the same yet?" ask the girl.

"Not Fel. We're getting this. Earlier, Ma'am was sick of shopping, so we muterin city who knows if he broke down or how," replied Rio at the end there.

"Reply to hear, Brother. I've been calling you active, not the number."

"Yes Fel. Tell our aunt again nyusulin Zahra now."

"Yes, sister, let's hear it soon."

Efelin turned off his phone. The mother beside him waited with a look of anxious face.

"Sir Rio again nyariin Mbak, Bun. Let's wait" said Efelin.

He hugged the mother. Mutually strengthen. The mother could not hold back her crying. Where's the girl's going. Never would Zahra have gone this late if alone.

"Call your father, Nduk, get me home today. Mother's feelings are really not calm," said the mother on the sidelines of her crying.

"Where are you, Nduk?" Mother was crying. He rubbed his tears that could not stop.

"Hello, Father, Assalamualaikum." Efelin's voice rasped across the street.

"Vaalaikumsalam. What's up nduk? you crying?" ask the father to worry.

"Dad can go home now? Mommy asked me to go home" Efelin said without telling me the real problem.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? I'm going home now."

The phone connection just broke. There the father who all day also felt bad feeling increasingly worried. Fear of something happening to her family.

The middle-aged man immediately prepared to return to the Malang city. Without thinking long he drove his car on the streets of Surabaya which is still crowded.

"How, Nduk?" ask mother.

"Dad straight home, Bun. It's Rio's brother's journey here," Efelin showed a WhatsApp message from Rio.

Before long the sound of the car stopped in front of the house. The two people who were in the living room hurriedly ran out of the house, hoping the person he was waiting for came home.

But they should be disappointed. Ega got out of his car with a crumpled and messy look. He crucified Zahra's mother. Seeing the middle-aged woman crying made her heartless.

"Zahra where are you, son? Where's zahra?" The middle-aged mother was crying hysterically in front of Ega. Not the power of Ega hold the mother of his heart adoration.

"I don't know either, Auntie, I've been around her town," on her deck.

Efelin was powerless to see his mother who did not stop crying in Ega's arms. He went into the house. Sitting on the sofa and hiding his face above his knees. The young girl was crying too.

Until midnight the atmosphere in Zahra's house was still the same. There was clearly concern from every face sitting in the living room. Even Ega, Rio, and Dimas still remained there until Zahra's father arrived.

"What's wrong?" asked the middle-aged man to see the atmosphere inside his tense house, seeing his son and wife crying. Nor did he find his firstborn there.

"Zahra, Mom! Zahra hasn't come home yet. She wasn't in the workshop from last afternoon," the woman came back crying in her husband's arms.
