Chapters 14. Emma and Photo by Angga



The sound of the knocking of high heels echoed throughout the room. The shock indicates that the person is in a hurry. With a cell phone in hand, Alia turned her head back and forth, looking for Emma's whereabouts.


"Hi!"


Alia turned her eyes towards the direction of the sound. He knew who the owner of the voice was. The direction of the footsteps turned towards the person who greeted him.


"It's in a hurry, huh? What's up?" Arlo went down the stairs, then approached Alia.


A faint smile was imprinted on the lips. His eyes were forward, staring at Alia with a slanted chin. The head turned slightly to one side. Arlo teases the beautiful woman in front of him.


"Where's aunt?" Alia snapped a moment of her chin.


The woman's eyes are still searching for Emma. He did not care about the man who had teased him. There's one important thing to talk about with Angga's mother.


"Cirain is looking for me." Arlo's face instantly changed, a faded smile, as if he was sulking.


"Hust!" Alia shook her hands. "Ngapain looking for you?" He glanced at Arlo with his lips raised.


"Are you really not looking for me?" Arlo poking Alia's chin. His eyes blinked a few times, teasing. Not to forget also looked a grin grin on his lips.


Alia is upset by Arlo's temptation. Now is not the right time for that. She steps away leaving the man for the backyard, hoping to meet Emma there. Previously, the woman stomped her right foot in front of her cousin Angga's sister.


True too, Alia saw Emma stroking the leaves of a favorite ornamental plant. With wide steps, he immediately approached the aunt. He could not wait to get the news.


"Aante!"


Emma stopped her activities. The green white leaves were soon abandoned. He looked towards Alia. His forehead frowned when he found the boy's girlfriend who looked rushed.


"What's up, Alia? You're so excited." Emma took off the glove, then placed it on top of the pot of the plant she had just petted. His feet moved towards Alia.


"Tante, look at this!" Alia opened the phone in her hand. Now a picture of a half-body man is seen there.


Emma opened her eyes wide. Both of his hands reflexively covered his open mouth. He had no idea what Alia had found. It was exactly the same as the man he saw when he was at the folk party two days ago.


"He's Angga, Auntie!"


Emma nodded her head. The name contained in the upload is increasingly convincing. The mouth is no longer able to speak, like stiff because it is too shocked. He's really happy at the moment.


"W-have you called him?" A question escaped Emma's mouth.


Hope now seems to be in sight. Haru taste has gathered in the heart, even though only see photos in the phone. Without feeling the water pooling in the eye pelukan, prepare to fall wet the cheeks.


Alia shook her head to the right and to the left. He has not contacted the uploader of the photo. In fact, he felt less sure of what he saw. The roost looks very different than before. For that, only Emmalah can be sure.


Twelve digit numbers have been mentioned by Alia. Now Emma immediately hit the green phone handle symbol. A waiting tone sounded, anxiously waiting for the shackles to be lifted.


Emma had tried several times to call the number, but was not picked up either. His body felt lethargic, hope seemed to fade. He sat on the white chair that circled the table.


"We'll go there!" emma's sudden move. The woman looked closely at Alia.


"To there?" Alia frowned, not knowing which place Emma meant.


"Yes, the place we visited yesterday."


Emma immediately told him what she saw at the time. He was sure that the person he was looking for was the same person in the picture. So, he did not want to waste time, faster would be better.


"But, the village is vast, Auntie. Where are we gonna find him? Knock home one-on-one?" Alia sat down next to Emma. Hope to meet the lover dashed back.


In their silence, Emma's phone suddenly rings. Emma held up the phone lazily. He saw the caller number there was no name. Wrinkles were created on his forehead.


"Hallo. Who'sis this?" ask Emma when the call is connected.


The woman's forehead shriveled after a while listening to the voice from across the phone. The man said he was the first to connect. He thought for a moment what the words meant. A smile appeared on his lips as memories flashed across his mind.


"Oh, yes. This is the one that uploaded the photo of Angga, right? Where is he now? Can we meet?"


Emma strapped the man in with a few questions. Her chest was flowery, impatient to meet Angga. The child's shadow is in sight.


The young man who uploaded the photo immediately explained the state and position of Angga. Emma was more convinced when the man said the exact same thing he saw. However, the look on his face suddenly withered, the spirit fading back. The person who uploaded the photo was out of town so they could not share the location where the child was.


Alia was astonished by the change in the expression of the woman in front of her. He was getting impatient to wait for Angga's news. So, she kept paying attention when Emma spoke on the phone, hoping to understand their conversation.


"Can you give me the address? Let me find you later."


Approval obtained, the young man will send the full address where Angga is located. They immediately ended the call.


"Where, Auntie?" ask Alia. He was so curious about the outcome of their conversation.


Before Emma explained what had happened, a message had entered the phone. With a bright face he immediately opened it.


"He gave me his address!" squeal Emma. Both ends of the lips are attracted so that it forms a smile.


Emma tries to find the address through a mapping service in an app. However, the address could not be found despite several attempts.


Seriate.
