My Destiny is with you

Episode 64: Mario's Efforts

Casual style without office clothes. Mario looks like an ordinary man among cafe visitors who also visit for breakfast. Sometimes there are women who say hello, centil, and seek attention, but Mario ignores. Understandably, the charm of Mario's handsome face is so brilliant and looks shining. Among the visitors to the cafe, no one knows Mario's status or the burden of the mind he is currently holding. Then Isabel came.

Exactly six in the morning. Isabel came as promised. Alone, with no one to follow. Despite knowing Mario's current mood, Isabel still gives greetings and smiles in order to show hospitality as a good friend of Anjani.

"Wow, Mr Mario who ordered?" Isabel was impressed with the dish on the table.

"Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't ask you which one you liked. Hope you like it." Mario displays the same hospitality.

"No-no. Any kind of food, as long as it's free I like. Hehe." Isabel laughed crisply in order to melt the atmosphere.

Mario smiles, and invites Isabel to drink. The tea in the cup is still warm. That's how Mario always treats others well. What Mario wants to tell Isabel after this is a seriousness. In fact, Mario really intends to ask for help.

"Sorry, Sir. The help that Mr. Mario meant last night ... what is it?"

"Look, Bel. Earlier sorry, about Anjani's current position, I suspected your sister."

"Huh? You mean Kak Bas who hid Anjani?"

"It doesn't seem to hide. My guess is, Bastian's just keeping it a secret."

Quietly briefly. Isabel digested what Mario explained. Soon, his mind began to develop, so that he could ask other questions that were very reasonable to ask.

"Sir Mario knows where? Why is it possible to judge Kak Bas has something to do with Anjani's position which is still unknown?"

Isabel is not a woman. He's a student, and a former activist at his college. For these kinds of things Isabel will keep asking questions until it is clear everything.

"In the meantime, that's just my guess. But that conjecture is so strong it leads to your brother and .... Rico."

"Huh? Riko too?" Isabel's surprise increased.

In order to convince Isabel, Mario began to tell stories. About his meeting with Bastian and Riko last night, also about the unusual attitude they showed.

"What time did Mr Mario meet them?" ask Isabel, keep looking for evidence.

"Near ten o'clock at night."

"Did Brother Bas mention the location of his needs before meeting Mr Mario?" isabel asked, wanting to convince herself.

"No, Bel. Like I said. Bastian just said that he just finished the need. Location not mentioned."

Isabel seemed to be thinking seriously. Quickly connect the habits of his brother who lately often berampit out of town. At that moment Isabel guessed. Isabel is convinced that her brother has something to do with Anjani's whereabouts that are unknown to date.

About Riko, Isabel was not suspicious at all. Last met there was nothing that led to the same habits as her brother. Isabel once asked Riko for help, while trailing her brother out of town. It's just that time the suspicion leads to Bastian who has a bustle outside the city.

At that time I left Riko at the place of Kak Bas CODan. Maybe after that Riko met Kak Bas and then invited to meet someone? Or maybe he met Anjani? Isabel's mind and mind began to suspect.

"Did you?" Mario disperse the reverie of Isabel.

"alright. What can I help you find Anjani, sir?"

"Please watch your brother's movements. Every time he wants to travel, or call someone. You can call Mr. Gun at any time to take you anywhere. If you need help from a bodyguard or something, just tell me. I'll send it right away."

"Give Brother Bas to me, sir. I am also curious. Can I have Gun's phone number?"

"of course. Just sec. I sent it."

One mission delivered. Isabel is willing, and now has the same guess as Mario.

***

At eight o'clock, Mario's car enters the company's parking area. Not her company, but Lovey's. However, it is not Lovey that Mario meets, but Ken.

Yes, since Lovey's legal husband, Ken officially moved to work. As promised, Ken will look after and love Lovey. This is where Ken is today. Serving as Lovey's personal secretary, as well as a husband who is ready to stand by wherever Lovey goes.

"Sir Mario want to see Miss Lovey?" ask Lovey's old secretary, who now serves as deputy director.

"Yes. Her husband too."

"I will bring. Please come this way!"

Mario followed the steps. Take the elevator and arrive in the grandest room. Lovey's workplace.

The door of the room was knocked first, worried that Ken and Lovey were being friendly in there. Of course, Mario does not want to make them feel ashamed because of his sudden presence.

"Mario." Ken and Lovey were surprised by Mario.

"Why are your faces surprised like that, hm? Did I just disturb your affection?" Mario smiled meaningfully.

"Not at all. My husband and I just discussed a new partnership." Lovey was able to calm down and explain his activities just now.

"Goodoo. Vey, can I borrow your husband today? Only until noon. Not until night like yesterday."

"If it's about Anjani's search mission, go ahead. Until the night is okay too. We owe Anjani an apology. So, we'll help as much as we can." Lovey said from the heart.

For a moment, there was a moment of melow. Happened because Lovey displays a very clear guilty face. As a sensitive husband, Ken quickly reconciled by encouraging Lovey not to continue to dissolve in guilt.

"Beb, don't be so sad, ah! If Anjani meets, we apologize together. Yea?" Ken said softly in Lovey's ears.

"Yes. There, come with Mario. Help him find Anjani!" lovey's orders.

"okkey. Yuk, Bro! We're leaving!"

Mario doesn't run his car. He first told a little about his suspicions to Bastian and Riko. Just like Isabel, Ken had no idea. In fact, Ken is worse. Ken asked more questions before finally thinking of Mario.

"So Isabel is ready to help you?" ask Ken after Mario's long explanation.

"Yes. Now, I'm asking for your help, too, Ken. About Riko, please approach and seek information from her. During the internship, you were the closest to Riko and Marisa."

Ken nodded. Ken's ready to go on a mission. Ken's brain immediately devised a strategy to extract information about Anjani.

"Btw, you came all the way here to deliver this? Tumben without a phone first, Bro?"

"Why? You distracted? Was it true that you and Vey were so friendly in the room?"

Mario lets Ken in for a bit, before finally getting back serious in the search effort. Mario asks Ken to immediately execute his intentions. An apprentice student in the office is free. Mario suggests that Ken take Riko for a walk to the production section of the company's products, while Ken goes on a mission without suspicion.

"I agree with your idea. I'll take Riko there and ask about Anjani." Ken is getting more determined.

"Slow down, Ken. If it doesn't work out today, you can try again tomorrow."

Mario does not want Ken to rush, making his plan fail and vainly tried.

"Well, if we focus on Anjani, who's Ma looking for?" Just remember Ken remembered Ma.

"My father-in-law, and my own father intervened. Dad told me to focus on finding Anjani."

"Okey, huh. Let's just take me to your office. Borrow a company car, huh Bro?"

"Yes. Just put it on."

Second mission, delivered too. Mario entrusts his missions to two confidants. Ken and Isabel.

Mario himself did not sit still. Mario continues to maximize search efforts. As soon as driving Ken to the office, Mario immediately gas again to the locations he routinely visited.

To the Anjani campus, Mario met one of the lecturers who guided his wife's internship. Yes, Mario told me a little about Anjani's escape from home without revealing the problems. Mario advised the lecturer to inform himself if there is something that leads to the existence of Anjani. Fortunately, Anjani lecturer is friendly. He is ready to help provide information and will immediately contact.

Mario is really not prestigious. No longer care about the talk of people who blame themselves for the escape of Anjani. Mario no longer cares about all the skewed talk of people around. One thing Mario focuses on is maximizing search.

"Anjani baby, I want to be together again with you soon. Wait for me, yeah. I'll find you."

Continue again. Mario's car is on the move again. This time Mario headed to places frequented by Anjani. Ice cream shop, flower shop, body mist vending shop. There are countless times Mario has visited. Hoping, Anjani will appear at one of the locations he visited.

Until noon, there was no significant development. Mario rested for a while, then continued again in search. Some places visited, ask here and there while showing a photo of the wife. That's what Mario does. Mario is serious about the search. But, nil. His efforts have not succeeded.

And ... The afternoon came. The circular clock in hand already showed at four in the afternoon. Mario also went around all day. Just take a short break for worship and fill the stomach so that hunger does not hinder the search effort.

"Bro, go home first, yeah!" ken said as soon as he got in Mario's car.

"alright. Come on, I'll take you!"

Mario is currently in front of his office. Invite Ken all asking for mission progress. Honey, Ken's efforts aren't growing either. However, there is important info that Ken conveys.

"Although the information about Anjani I didn't get, but I'm sure Riko was involved. I mean, he knows something."

The deg!

Mario sharpens hearing. Then, tell Ken to continue what he wants to say.

"Whenever I offend Anjani, Riko must immediately divert the conversation. Yes, although not outright, but I realize. Keep going, the kid seems to be flippant saying."

"Say what, Ken?"

"Riko yesterday as Bastian ran out of town, bro!"

The deg!

Mario's mind instantly developed. Many conjectures appear simultaneously.

"What city is it outside?" ask Mario again.

"That's it, bro. Like I said. Looks like the Riko fell asleep saying that he's from out of town. As I asked where, uh directly diverted again with him."

Mario looked disappointed, because the information was half-and-half. However, after one deep breath, Mario can control the mind. Mario tried to calm down.

"alright. Thanks for the information, Ken. I'll take you home now!"

"Okay, Bro! Come on!"

The car drove by without much chatter between Mario and Ken. Both dissolve in their minds. Especially Mario, he so has a new search option to trace the traces of Anjani.

The station. Terminals. Yeah, I'll do a search around there. Anjani must be out of town. Inner Mario.

Mario's beliefs were reinforced with a short message from Isabel.

Mr. Mario, try to do a search also in the cross-city area. Brother Bas was with Riko yesterday from out of town, sir.

That is Isabel's message. A short message that gives Mario more hope to be able to find Anjani soon.

Baby Anjani, I'll find you. I'm sure I can find you. Wait for me, yeah. I've missed you so much. Inner Mario, echoing exuberant.

***

There's a claustrophobic. My breath is not free. Anxiety also contributes to discomfort. Anjani, he's stuck in longing. Missing the presence of a husband who is so loved. However, he could not find because of the pain in the heart that has not been fully treated.

"Mas, I miss you. But ... Your video and Lovey still make me feel hurt again."

Anjani's eyes were closed. One smile expands later, because Anjani feels the movement of the baby in the womb. He swallowed his big stomach slowly.

"Son, do you miss your daddy too?"

There was another movement, and Anjani was shocked this time.

"You miss your daddy, son."

Anjani. His heart and mind are missing. Opium, Mario's love for him has become opium. Although lara heart, Anjani still misses.

"Is giving an apology the way to go?" Anjani.
