Nightfall
|| Bryan Apartment ||
Bryan stood in front of the mirror, revealing his reflection in front of it. He wore a plain casual army shirt combined with black long jeans with a classic hairstyle style ala Jungkook BTS personnel with a caesar cut gives a handsome impression when he first saw it.
At exactly sevenpm local time, Rudy was waiting in the car. At first the man had no intention of attending the birthday party held by Eliza but he changed his mind, considering the goal of saving Aluna was more important so he put his ego aside for the sake of the young mistress and the future successor of the Smith family.
Bryan was sitting quietly in the back seat, while Rudy just waited for the orders of his superiors.
"Rud, are our plans tonight going to work?" Ask Bryan. Apparently the man did not open his voice since he was hit by fears of a plan to rescue his wife. He was afraid that all the plans that had been arranged neatly would fail.
"We pray, sir, may the ambush tonight be successful. You must be sure!"
"If you follow the instructions of the police, the success rate is 100%."
"Oh yes sir, this is."
Rudy presented a brown map, in which there were five photos of Eliza and one recording device. Bryan looked at the photo. Eliza is talking to a woman known as Maura.
"This what?" Bryan raised an eyebrow.
"Your birthday, sir."
"You can listen to a woman's conversation from that recording device."
Bryan pressed the "on" button with a million curiosities. A moment later, he clenched his hand. The man is infuriated to learn Eliza's purpose is to return to Indonesia only to take revenge on Smith's family and destroy her household.
"You're bad, El!" Bryan said.
"I deliberately investigated it secretly because I was suspicious of Eliza's return in the midst of your household and young mistress."
"You know, sir, at the grand reunion and then actually the young mistress is behind you. He's watching you hugging Eliza. Her heart was so broken that her husband hugged another woman and almost knocked her unconscious, it was fortunate that Mr. Rendra had swiftly restrained the body of the mistress so that she did not fall to the floor."
"From the information I got, at that time the lady was actually pregnant."
"What did you say?!" Bryan glanced at the perfect eye.
"So my wife...."
"Miss Rossa also told me that after they arrived at Mother Imelda's house, the young mistress felt the abdominal pain from too many thoughts."
"I sinned once against my wife, Rud. When pregnant, even give suffering to him. I was busy working on a project that came from that demonic woman, for days leaving my wife alone at home and stupid again when Aluna threw up in the morning, I didn't suspect that she was pregnant."
"It is fitting that my wife for one month has not had a menstrual cycle like other women have...." Bryan could not hold back his tears. He regretted all his actions all along.
"It's the most important master that we save the young lady and your children."
Like getting a fresh breeze, the man rubbed the tear grains with his fingers.
"True you said, Rud. We need to save my wife and kids soon."
"Fast turn on the engine of the car. We go to Gugun's cafe and then run an ambush mission!" Now Bryan is excited again after hearing the words of his best friend.
"The show starts immediately." One corner of Rudy's lips was raised up.

|| Cafe Gugun ||
Half an hour later, Bryan and Rudy were at a cafe owned by Gugun. The cafe consists of one floor, carrying a natural classic concept dominated by natural materials. Starting from the arrangement of fresh plants in the room, to the selection of wood-based furniture. First time entering the cafe, we can see the walls inside decorated by a variety of posters and photos made of wood, antique displays placed in the middle of the room.
Cafe owners deliberately choose chandeliers of various shapes such as cones, bird cages, diamonds, balls and trumpets. The selection of large windows was deliberately chosen to maximize the natural lighting that enters the room so that the cafe looks warmer and wider thanks to sunlight in the morning or afternoon. The arrangement of wooden furniture around the room brings a positive mood for visitors because they can enjoy a cup of coffee or just gather with friends while looking at the scenery from outside the room.
Bryan got down from the car, he saw the state of the cafe was so quiet with the lights not on. Carefully the man set foot into the room and suddenly a woman appeared from the opposite direction carrying a heart-shaped birthday cake, a number candle bearing 26.
"Happy birthday, Ry." The woman's voice was soft.
"Make a wish first, before blowing it." Eliza Pinta.
Bryan obeyed Eliza's orders. He closed his eyes and cupped both hands.
"Lord, please take care and protect always my wife and my two children. Give me a chance to be with them again." Say it in the heart.
Fuihs!
The candle in front of him immediately went out and changed with the lights in the cafe.
Inside the cafe, Gugun and Rudy are already present, along with several company employees involved in the construction of Eliza's museum project. They gave Bryan a happy birthday. The man was moved by the surprise party made by Eliza but could not deny that he was also disappointed because the perpetrator of the kidnapping of his wife was the woman. His birthday is not celebrated with his family or his wife. The man's chest hurts when he remembers all the sources of the problem coming from him.
"I'm sorry, dad for not believing your words."
"Ry, let's cut the cake. How to daydream." Eliza.
Bryan cut his birthday cake and placed it on a cake plate made of gold-colored paper.
"Whom will you give the first cut?" Said Eliza spoiled.
"Let me give it to my wife but she was kidnapped by you, El." Said the man in his heart.
Rudy looked cynically at the woman.
"Based on the demonic woman, just see if you'll still behave like this after getting caught later!"
"Cih, that shameless woman still approaches people's husbands. I never thought I'd be friends with a woman like you, El." Gugun said in his heart.
"The basis of a thick-faced actor, robbing someone else's property is even proud." Said one of Bryan's subordinates.
Eliza was smiling like a fool. He did not know that all the invited guests were chiding him in the heart.

Hayo, you feel sorry for Eliza because everyone present even berated her in the heart. If the author is not yes. ðŸ¤
