Mahligai Infidelity

-Grandpa Disappears

With black pajamas and hair on the cepol Wulan's origin out of his room. He walked slowly so as not to make a sound.

While passing through Brian's room, it sounded so quiet, like never before. Maybe Brian is asleep now.

Wulan went down the stairs to the side door. From the side door Wulan more freely came out without causing any sound.

Wulan was already outside the courtyard. Arkan's car hasn't arrived yet, he keeps coming out to the gate. The heavy and heavy door was closed.

Mr. Parto must have fallen asleep. Wulan did not want to wake the man just to open the fence for him.

The small door beside the post was opened slowly by Wulan.

“Askan should have arrived, it's been ten minutes since he called earlier.”

Wulan crouched beside the fence near lush plants so as not to see other vehicles passing by.

The road is fairly quiet because time has shown almost 2 am in the morning.

Slightly shuddering, a gentle breeze blew against his skin, the cold of the night made his folding hands increasingly stick towards the chest.

Before long, the light of the car from the end of the road gets closer and then stops right in front of the gate of the house.

After believing it was Arkan's car, Wulan got up to the car.

Arkan gets out of his car, hugs Wulan.

“What's up mas?” ask Wulan curiously.

“Come in first, we talk in the car, outside cold,” take Arkan and then open the car door for Wulan to enter.

“What's up mas?” tanya Wulan was getting curious.

Arkan handed a piece of paper to Wulan.

Wulan directly read the contents in the paper.

Grandpa misses grandpa's hometown.

Wulan read a piece of that sentence. Of course what grandfather meant in the paper was his grandfather.

“This letter from grandfather?” ask Wulan.

While digesting the contents of the letter, Wulan searched the phone out of his pocket. He called his grandfather's number.

“Mas picks you up at this hour, confused mas do not know where to find grandfather. You may know relatives or family who can be headed to grandfather now ?” ask Arkan.

“Grandfather has no one but me,” said Wulan while continuing to attach the postel to his ear. “No hp is not active mas,” said Wulan panic.

Once again Wulan called her grandfather's number.

“This is really a letter from grandfather?” Wulan watched the handwriting on the paper.

“So I've asked a colleague who is an expert in checking the front fence cctv of the house and all the cctv around. But because it is night we will wait for the results tomorrow,” said Arkan.

“Since when did grandpa leave?” ask Wulan.

“It's been 3 days,” reply Arkan.

“Three days? Why hasn't anyone notified Wulan?” tanya Wulan looked increasingly frustrated.

Wulan looked at her phone again. He looked for the number of Tini guards his house in the village. After meeting him, he immediately called the number.

“Number mbok not active,” murmured Wulan.

“Ya reasonable not active Lan, now at 2 dawn,” said Arkan.

“Who gave this letter to mas?” ask Wulan.

“Mbak Ani, he found this letter in grandpa's room drawer when clean clean,”

“Three days, how do grandfather go home?” Wulan had counted down three days earlier. “Thursday? There was no fast boat on Thursday. Grandpa came home with what?” wulan panicked.

“Mas?”

Anxiety was evident on that innocent face.

“I'll be going to your village tomorrow,” Arkan said.

“Wulan join mas,” said Wulan.

“At morning you try to call back, your housekeeper is accommodated. Try asking if grandfather is already there,” said Arkan.

“I'm wrong, the end of this is too busy to not pay attention to grandfather,” said Wulan began sobbing.

“I was also wrong, grandfather staying in my house should I keep grandfather better so that grandfather feels at home,” Arkan said while stroking the head of Wulan.

“Where is dong mas? what happens to Grandpa?” asked Wulan on the sidelines sobs. “Hikss.”

“We can not stay silent, we will find grandfather now,” persuade Arkan then hug the woman sitting next to him.

“Mas, have you reported the police?” ask Wulan.

“Already, mas have asked the police chief acquaintance mas. They started looking. Soon you have to go to the police station to make a complaint to lose.”

“Grandpa, where the hell is grandfather?” wulan said worriedly.

“What if we do search now, we try to ask anyone we meet?”

“Iya come on mas, hunted. We need to find Grandpa as soon as possible. Grandpa is sick, he can not be abandoned on the streets.”

Arkan followed as Wulan commanded. He drove the vehicle away from there. The car kept going, their eyes constantly watching every roadside they went through. When passing through a small alley they would get out of the car and search into the alley, if only grandfather got lost to it and was waiting for them.

It's almost 5 in the morning, Wulan and Arkan are still driving around. Now they're circling the compound around Arkan's house.

“Mas stop at that seller,” pinta Wulan.

Arkan stopped his car in front of a new sales shop that was about to open his shop early that morning.

Wulan got out of the car towards a man who was putting together her merchandise.

“Sorry sir, I want to ask. You ever see a grandfather passing here about 3 days ago?” ask Wulan.

Arkan was already standing behind Wulan.

While Wulan was busy looking for a picture of his grandfather from inside the phone, Arkan met a pedestrian and asked the same thing.

“Father has seen, my grandfather walked a little slowly, he carried a yellowish-white stemmed stick,” said Wulan.

“Never seen neng,” said the father.

“Thank you sir,” said Wulan then came to Arkan.

“Where is it?” ask Wulan.

“Wulan see photos of grandfather to mbak this. This mother often passes on this road every morning,” Arkan said.

Wulan showed the woman a picture of her grandfather but the results were still nil.

The morning the more people pass around the road. Wulan and arkan asked anyone they met, but no one knew the grandfather.

“We go home first, you change your nightgown, all of us ask the neighbors near the mas house,” said Arkan.

“Alright, I also want to meet mbak Ani and the nurse who takes care of grandfather, Wulan want to know more clearly when grandfather left,” said Wulan.

Wulan obeyed Arkan. Even if you see, the pajamas worn by the wulan are made of satin until the underwear looks to form from the outside.

Once home, Arkan looks for clothes that Wulan can wear.

Obviously all the clothes in his closet are men's clothes. What should he give Wulan.

“Wulan, you choose if there is one you can use,” call Arkan.

“Or can you borrow his shirt from Ani?” ask Arkan.

“No need, wear clothes,” said Wulan. He took a few steps towards Arkan's closet. After sorting the milah, Wulan picked up a black Arkan shirt and cloth pants with rubber on the waist.

“Bathroom where mas?” ask Wulan.

“Use here only, I'll be out.”

After Arkan died, Wulan changed his thin clothes with Arkan's clothes.

Then he came out of that room. Arkan was already standing waiting for him at the door.

“Mbak Ani where is mas?” ask Arkan.

“Maybe in the kitchen,” replied Arkan.

“Nurse who takes care of grandfather?” ask Wulan.

“Most him in his room,” replied Arkan.

“I want to meet the guy.”

Wulan walked to the back of the house where the workers' rooms were located.

“Mba Ani?” call Wulan.

“Mbak.”

“Bu Wulan,” Ani replied hurrying from the direction of the park.

“Where are the nurses who take care of grandfather?” ask Wulan.

“Yuyun? He is in the room, he said he did not feel well bu,” Ani replied.

“I want to meet the person, I want to talk to you both,” Wulan said.

Ani immediately drove Wulan towards the back.

Tok tok tok tok

The young lady immediately opened the door.

“Yun, sorry I interrupted your break,” said Wulan.

“Iya ma'am is fine,” answered.

“When did grandpa leave home?” ask Wulan.

“Three days ago, precisely Thursday,” Ani replied.

“What time?” ask Wulan again.

Ani looked at Yuyun's face. “What time is yun?” ask Ani.

Wulan's eyes immediately turned towards Yuyun.

“Around 11pm,” reply.

“Grandpa has told you where to go?” ask Wulan.

“Grandfather did not pay directly ma'am, just the morning before grandfather had said he wanted to meet bu Wulan,” replied Yuyun who was assigned to take care of grandfather.

“Siang when I was looking for grandfather for lunch grandfather is no more,” he said again.

“According to you grandpa went where?” ask Wulan again.

“Grandfather's feet are not possible to go far, without the help of people grandfather can not go just like that,” said Yuyun.

Wulan thought for a moment. If they know grandpa can't just leave, why after grandpa left they didn't tell Arkan?
