The flasback
That night Dev spent walking down the streets of the city that already looked lonely. Until dawn, none of the clues he got about Ara's whereabouts.
Dev pulls his car over on a still-so-lone road, hitting his car's driver multiple times to vent his anger. Dev is angry with himself who can do nothing to find the girl who has so entered and mastered his heart and mind.
There was the sound of the Adhan, indicating that soon the sun will illuminate the world that he is now incandescent. Dev decides to go home first. At least he had to refresh himself to be able to continue his search.
Dev enters the house with a very tangled look. It was obvious that the handsome man was severely lacking in rest.
Dev enters his room and goes straight to the bathroom to clean up and carry out his duties as a Muslim.
That morning the atmosphere of the house looked very different. Everyone's faces looked gloomy, thinking about how Ara's fate overnight was as yet unknown as to where exactly.
"Where's darling? Any word on Ara, son??" Anika asked her mother when she saw her eldest child walking down the stairs.
Dev just shook his head in a doldrums in response to the mother's question.
Dira and the Princess who had just listened back let out a long sigh. Worried about his best friend.
"Because how's the deck story?" Dev asked his sister.
Dira recounts everything that happened, from the beginning his car was intercepted to a hit Tono pack and Ara who was drugged to paralyze the two.
"They were after Ara. They didn't go to the car at all. But why are they after Ara??" Dira was confused.
Dev and all who heard just shook their heads didn't understand.
"Ara have you met Ma??" Papa Aryo's voice surprised everyone.
Mama told me about what happened to Ara. Papa, who happens to be abroad with his father and Josh as his guard, without a second thought, soon searches for the first flight to return home after hearing that Ara was kidnapped.
Mama just shook her head in a doldrums, her eyes were already watery considering Ara who until now had not been found.
The father who stood behind papa was no less panicked. His face looked very worried, but he kept trying to calm down and think about how to quickly find Ara.
"Where did the attack take place young lady??" Ask Dira.
"On the street xxx uncle" answered Dira quickly
He pulled out his phone and looked for something inside.
"What are you looking for?" Ask papa Aryo
"Ara is the smart girl sir. He must have left a trail that could have let us quickly figure out his whereabouts". He was still busy with his cell phone.
I looked for the position of Ara through the mobile phone belonging to her daughter who had been installed tracking device by the father.
After getting the location of his son's cell phone, the father immediately called his men to check there.
While waiting, Pram, who was in charge of checking the location of Ara's cell phone, told her that she found her cell phone on the side of the road to the outside of the city.
Looks like the kidnappers deliberately dumped Ara's cell phone to remove the trail.
I breathe and then think fast. Afraid something bad might happen to her son.
"Has Ara's bag been carried by them, miss?" Ask the father again.
"They left uncle. I kept it in Dira's room" This time the Princess replied.
"May I ask Miss Princess??" Ask the polite.
The princess nodded then rushed to Dira's room to pick up the Ara bag that Ara had left on her bike yesterday.
The princess handed Ara's bag to Rahmat. Rahmat quickly unpacked the contents of the girl's bag. A relieved smile was imprinted on his face, making everyone frown in wonder.
"What's up, Mat?? Did you find anything?" Ask papa curious.
"We'll find him soon, sir.
"Really uncle?? Let's go there uncle" said Dev spirit. His tiredness and sleepiness disappeared instantly hearing that Ara would soon be found.
"I will make sure young master. After that I'll pick him up"
Dad was busy with his phone then smiled wider when he got the point where Ara's current position.
"can!!" Said the happy Father.
"How can you get it in just a moment?" Ask papa, getting curious.
"Ara's the smart girl master, she wouldn't have left without leaving a trace if it wasn't her own will. Ara has a necklace from my late wife that was deliberately installed by her own tracking device" explained the father
Everyone nodded and smiled in relief, at least now they knew where Ara was.
Without wasting time, the father and Josh immediately went to the current location of Ara. The second step was stopped by Dev's voice.
"I'm with uncle". Dev said sure.
"Don't young master. There we don't know what the condition is." Reject the gentleman
"I just want to find Uncle Ara soon. Please let me come along. I won't trouble uncle and om Josh". Pinta Dev's
I looked at my mom and dad asking for approval. The two nodded steadily at the sign of allowing Grace to bring Dev.
Not to forget they also contacted the police to help them in unexpected conditions later.
Armed with GPS on the father's phone, the three men of different ages continued to follow where the intended direction to get to Ara.
After almost 2 hours of travel, now the three of them and police officers arrive at an old house that is not maintained.
They are still monitoring from far away. I saw some cars around the house. There were also some men with a sturdy body standing guard in front of the house.
With full calculation, the father divided the task to paralyze all those who stood guard in the building assisted by the police.
They could not be rash in taking action, or Ara's life would probably be his gamble.
After being able to knock out everyone on guard, Dev and Dad looked all over the house. There's some space there.
Dev ran fast when he heard a screaming sound from the room at the end.
Without thinking Dev kicked the door open, and
brakkkk
"D..Dev"
flashback off
"Br!!!" Shouted Dev as his eyes saw Clara standing in front of the girl he had been looking for all night holding a knife.
Dev walked quickly closer. But her steps came to a halt as Clara brandished her knife.
"This is not really Cla. Release Ara!! Don't hurt Ara!"
"Open that j*l*ng shit". Clara's orders to the man whose knees were already shaking when he saw that there were already several heavily armed police in front of him.
"quick!!!!" Shouts Clara
The man who had kidnapped Ara untied Ara's hands and feet. Afterwards Clara walked behind Ara and forced Ara to stand up.
"Surge all!!! If not, the neck j*l*ng s*this will break!!" Shouted Clara.
Everyone seemed to panic at the sight of Clara becoming increasingly reckless.
"Put your weapon Miss Clara. Your punishment will be even more severe if you do this". Persuade one of the police officers.
"Heh.kalo I can't dapetin Dev. This means that j*l*ng s*alan will also not be in Dev". Cynical Clara.
While Ara just smiled faintly at Clara's words.
"Leave Clara!! Ara has absolutely nothing to do with me that can't accept your love!" Dev Saying
"Take off my daughter, miss. Don't let you regret touching my daughter". My father tried to calm down.
"You're proud to have a daughter j*l*ng like this? huh?!!!! You're proud!!!" Clara screamed like crazy.
Ara chuckled to the point of Clara's anger rising.
"Shut your mouth s*that's j*l*ng!!!" Shouted Clara while pressing the knife attached to Ara's neck. The deeper the wound on Ara's neck now.
Ara blinked her eyes slowly while nodding her head, signaling father and Josh to prepare. With the rest of her strength, Ara twisted Clara's hand holding the knife until the blade came off.
The police quickly arrested Clara. Meanwhile, Clara's man who tried to escape was paralyzed by gunfire.
Ara's body almost collapsed on the floor if Dev did not swiftly catch her. Ara who was still half-conscious saw Dev who was looking at him fixedly. The faintest smile on Ara's lips.
"Remember.." Ara muttered softly before she completely lost her consciousness.
"Ra.wake up Ra" Dev said as he patted Ara's cheek gently.
Not getting a response from Ara, Dev immediately lifted Ara then walked out followed by the father and Josh who walked behind him. While the criminals will be the affairs of the authorities.
Dev takes Ara to his car. Shedding Ara's weak body in the passenger seat.
"Uncle just come with my car" Dev said to the father.
The father just nodded then walked in and held the head of his helpless favorite daughter.
Dev drove his car at high speed. You do not comment, which you know that the young master is now very worried about his youngest daughter.
Arriving at the nearest IGD hospital, the father immediately went down and carried Ara's limp body. His mouth was constantly screaming for the doctor to help his son.
Dev followed the father from behind.
The doctor took Ara's body into the examination room. Dev and Dad were asked to wait in the IGD waiting room.
Dev contacts his parents to inform them of Ara's condition. Papa and mama ask that Ara be transferred to the hospital owned by papa's best friend when his condition has improved.
Almost 1 hour father, Dev and Josh wait for the doctor to handle Ara. The door of the room opened, Dev and the father immediately stood up and approached the doctor who examined Ara.
"How is Ara dok?" Ask Dev quickly
"Miss Kinara's condition has stabilized, it's just that it took her a while to wake up. Miss Kinara was dehydrated, it seemed like since yesterday there was no liquid or food in her body. That's why it took him longer to be able to regain his consciousness. But from the results of the overall examination, the situation is good, from what I see Miss Kinara also has no trauma on this incident. Just need enough rest and food and heal the bruises on his body". Obviously doctor long.
"Thank you so much doctor" said the father.
The doctor nodded and smiled kindly.
"The patient will be transferred to the master's room. You can meet the patient there". The doctor explained.
Dev and Dad just nodded.
Josh resigned himself. He had to come back immediately to give information to the police before Ara could really be questioned.
In Ara's nursery, there was now only a father and Dev waiting for him to come to his senses.
Dev continued to sit beside Ara while holding Ara's hand.
Dad patted Dev's shoulder making him look up at you.
"You can rest young master. I'll take care of Ara" said the father to Dev
"I'll take care of him uncle. Uncle must rest, uncle must be tired after the trip here" replied Dev
The father sighed with a faint smile looking at his master's son who was so attentive to Ara.
Finally he gave up and sat back down on the sofa. But because of fatigue after a long trip, the eyes of the father closed until finally falling asleep.
Dev continued to watch Ara's face full of cuts and bruises. Still clearly visible marks slap on both cheeks Ara. His heart ached seeing Ara in this state.
But suddenly Dev smiled faintly as he recalled how Ara called him brother before fainting, it felt like Dev was really happy to hear the call after almost 2 months he had never heard.
"Wake up Ra, later we move to a better hospital if you are stable" Dev said while stroking Ara's hair.
Dev grimaced as his hand stroked the beautiful face of Ara who looked calm in her sleep. He felt the pain Ara was experiencing. This girl is really a strong girl, even with her last strength she can still knock out her opponent
Ara's fingers that are still in Dev's grasp move to make Dev who involuntarily fell asleep immediately woke up and stroked Ara's straight hair dear.
When Ara's eyes opened, the first thing she saw was Dev's handsome face smiling while stroking her hair. While one hand still held Ara's hand tightly.
"Abang" Ara's voice sounded very slow. Dev could still hear it
Dev nodded and smiled
"I'm here Ra. You're fine now" Dev said with teary eyes.
"I'll call the doctor first". Dev exits Ara's room to call the doctor.
Looks like you're really tired. Until the doctor finished checking Ara's condition, he was still asleep.
Ara tilted her head and found the father who was sleeping soundly on the sofa of her ward.
"father" Lirih Ara
Ara smiled faintly to see the father, if the father did not come on time, maybe now he had been tortured by Clara.
"Later in the afternoon we moved to the hospital". Dev's words disperse Ara's daydream.
"Moved??"
