Mario was silent near the door of his car. Ma's smartphone has been found by him, but it is not as intact as it should be. Smartphone is badly damaged. Cannot be activated anyway.
Joko, Anjani's father is there. Standing on the other side of the car. Joko was asking a question about a young man.
"I don't help you, sir. I found him in the toilet. Suwer, sir." The young man continued to defend himself.
"Where do you have this HP?" ask Joko.
"Well, I know, sir. I went in the toilet and HP was there."
"Keep taking that's just his HP? Huh yeah?"
"That's my fortune today. That's why I took. I don't know what's apes either." The young man looked sorry.
Joko is dizzy too. Not knowing what model to ask anymore, because the young man in front of him could not give him any more information at all.
Soon after, Mario approached Joko. Mario asks Joko to release the young man because he is clearly unaware of Ma's whereabouts.
Before this, John's right hand asked Mario to track Ma's phone position. Once met, Mario immediately to the intended location, the location of the area around where Ma forgot his phone in the toilet.
When Mario was on set, Ma's phone was in the young man's grasp. Joko who was half emotional at that time immediately shouted at the young man with the name of HP thief. The young man who felt that the phone in his grasp was not his, immediately ran around as soon as he heard the shout. It was when the eighth young man avoided the little boy who was riding a bicycle. Once evaded, the young man hit someone's shoulder and Ma's phone was thrown. Worse yet, the phone actually leads to the streets and.
"Dad, let's go home first. I need a break."
"Yes, go! Son of a calm Mario, yes. Ma can't have kidnapped anyone. He must be just rude." Joko who understands the mood of Mario was immediately entertaining.
Mario smiled in order to make his father-in-law smile too. After that, their steps were swung towards the car. Actually Mario still wants to search, but Mario must drive his father-in-law home. Mario wants his father-in-law to rest first. If you want to look again, the best time is tomorrow when the energy is filled again.

"Rest first, Bro."
"All right."
Mario's car swallowed. As per Ken's request, the car was pulled over at the fried rice seller's area. Mario and Ken's stomach feels hungry because since they came out after Maghrib, they both have not eaten.
The exit of Mario and Ken with one goal, namely in the search mission. They both made some goal lists, then approached and asked here and there. That's what they do. Keep looking for Anjani.
"How long will your father-in-law be in Jakarta?" ask Ken after ordering fried rice.
"Until Anjani and Ma are found, Ken. I don't want my father-in-law to come home with a load of thoughts."
"Eh, but .. I think there's something weird, yeah Bro. Ma suddenly said after giving long advice." Ken felt that something was stirring his mind.
"Come, Ken. I didn't expect Ma to leave the house. But you're right. I also feel something is strange."
Mario turned his head, facing Ken.
"Maybe Ma already know where Anjani is?" Mario thinks like that.
"It could be, Bro. But why would Ma cover up Anjani's position from you? You're his favorite son-in-law."
For Ken's question, Mario could not answer it. There are many possibilities, and all of them are just a guess.
For a moment, Mario was silent. One deep breath slightly reduces anxiety. With great hopes stretched, Mario remains on the road to be able to return together with the wife who is very missed.
"Bro, sorry. Do you mind if you go find the Anjaninya tomorrow again?"
Mario smiled, then flung.
"Please. Go home! Vey's looking for you, isn't he?" guess Mario.
"Yes .. that's how. Understandably still a newlywed. Haha. You know for yourself, Bro." Ken patted Mario on the shoulder.
Mario understand. Ken and Lovey are now married. Surely both of them want their night nothing to disturb let alone reduce.
"Bro, I'll pack the nasgornya, yeah. My wife's chauffeur is coming here soon."
"Yes. Go ahead. Thank you for accompanying me to find Anjani. Sorry, I'm troubling you."
Ten minutes later, Lovey's driver arrived. Ken came home with a package. While Mario, he stayed. He chose to enjoy fried rice under the starry sky.
"At half ten in the evening. Anjani baby, are you asleep?"
Mario began to monologue, while occasionally bribing fried rice into the mouth.
"How are daddy's daddy mom how are you? Daddy misses you."
Mario's eyes glazed over. The name entangled guilt and regret, tears must occasionally overshadow. Including the ones Mario is currently experiencing. No matter the current position. The name of the heart, really can not be invited to compromise when it feels sore.
In less than two weeks you will give birth. I'll maximize my efforts to find you. I love you. I'maang very. Forgive your husband, this. This time Mario sat down because he could not monologue anymore.
Fried rice is half-stayed. Mario still bribes while occasionally thinking about other options in the search for Anjani, as well as his mother-in-law who is now unknown whereabouts.
Shortly after, another customer arrived. Mario is so familiar because the ones who come are Riko and Bastian.
Riko and Bastian have just returned from Anjani's contract after several hours of travel. Riko who offered Bastian the fried rice tract, did not expect apparently there is Mario too.
There was a sense of surprise on Riko and Bastian's side. Naturally, because the one they met was her husband Anjani. They both keep secrets about Anjani's position, while Mario is completely unaware.
Smiling and greeting, that was their choice. Riko and Bastian could immediately position themselves to appear mediocre.
"Want to buy some fried rice too?" ask Mario.
"Yes, sir." Riko was polite, as her status was still an apprentice student.
"Where are you from?" ask Mario suddenly.
The deg!
Without any cue, neither Riko nor Bastian felt the same shock. Though the face of Mario when asked looks fine. Only Riko and Bastian's feelings overreact to the question that was thrown suddenly.
"This ... we're out of lu-aw!" Riko did not continue her words as her foot was stepped on by Bastian. Almost Riko keceplosan said from out of town.
"We just finished the need. Suddenly Riko won the treaty. I'll just go straight for it." Bastian is smarter at answering questions without being overwhelmed.
"Mario, I'll have some fried rice first, yeah." Bastian said a minute.
Although small, but Mario can smell an unusual attitude. Whether from Riko or Bastian, Mario is equally suspicious. Not a bad idea to think. It's just that Mario is used to dealing with relationships that are complicated to keep the intent even though. Mario is used to reading attitudes. And, that's what he caught from Riko and Bastian when he was watching.
While waiting for the order, Riko and Bastian accompany Mario to a meal. Even the conversation between them is inevitable.
"Sorry, Bus, Rik. Do you have any new information about Anjani?" mario asked, with the intention of provoking a reaction.
Riko and Bastian exchanged lyrics first before finally taking turns to answer.
"Sorry, Sir. I'm not."
"So did I, Mario. But trust me, you'll be back together." Bastian smiled, cheering.
It was not the answer and concern of Riko and Bastian that Mario observed. Mario noticed the attitude before those answers they made. Click! Mario is also convinced that there is something Riko and Bastian are hiding about Anjani.
However, Mario did not want to immediately urge. Mario restrains himself from being hasty, as Ma advises him. Most importantly for now, Mario has bagged an unusual attitude. Furthermore, a new mission would be pursued by him soon.
Mario did not linger. After the fried rice ran out, without waiting for Riko and Bastian, Mario went home. When he got home, Mario immediately contacted someone. Not John, Uncle Li, or the people Mario used to send. What Mario is calling right now is Anjani's best friend, Isabel.
"Sorry call you at night, Bel. About Anjani, I need your help. See me tomorrow at the cafe near your office early in the morning, yeah. But please keep our meeting a secret from Riko, Marisa, or Bastian."
That's what Mario said. No need to be at length, and immediately the intent is conveyed.
"Dear Anjani, my move this time will definitely make me find you. I'm so sure. Waitme! I love you!"
