My Love That's Not In Restui

Chapters. 11. Bright spot

Gilang continued to struggle to find Sekar. Today he receives information from detectives he hired that the car used to kidnap Sekar is a rental car rented on behalf of one of Reni's mother's confidants.

"If it's true that you are the brains behind Sekar's kidnapping, how do I realize that Sekar is a very meaningful person in my life. I want to give up on forgetting Sekar, but Sekar's shadow is always present in my daily life, always comes in his dreams,"in Gilang.

In a dream Gilang saw Sekar was crying waiting for his arrival. It was like a distant place, a place with very different conditions from where he lived. He was looking for firewood, cooking rice with a furnace, wearing shabby clothes and tattered camping.

"Where are you really, where else should I look for you, may you be well, may there be a kind person who is willing to protect you," Gilang continued to pray for the safety of his lover.

Meanwhile, at Hadi's house, Mr. Hadi just woke up from his sleep. In his sleep Mr. Hadi dreamed of meeting Sekar. Sekar was sitting casually with a grandmother and a young man dressed in shabby clothes.it seemed like they were scavengers, at that time Sekar also wore shabby clothes. They were all relaxing in an old hut not far from the river. He smiled and waved at Mr. Hadi.

"Mr!!... Sekar kangen same father, Sekar want to go home but do not have the money to take the bus, patience yes Pak Sekar work first find money for the cost of going home. If you have money, pick up Sekar, Sekar is on the edge of the river village Bumi Hangus. Get Sekar sir, Sekar Kangen!!" sekar said in a dream Mr. Hadi

"Let's go home now Sekar, Sekar!!, " sir Hadi immediately woke up with sweat pouring.

Hadi kept remembering - remembering his dream. "So my son was in the village of Bumi Hangus, where the village of Bumi Hangus was, that name felt strange once in my ears, tomorrow I have to find out where the village of Bumi Hangus is located"

Until the morning Hadi continued to think where he should find out about the village of Bumi Hangus. He could have asked Gilang for help. But he no longer wanted any business with the Gilang family. There have been many problems caused by Sekar establishing a relationship with Gilang.

"If Sekar had met me later then I'd better keep Gilang with Sekar. It feels too ridiculous to let Sekar marry Gilang, he might die in vain. The men of this world are not just crazy. If only because he is rich, wealth does not always bring happiness but can even bring disaster. It is better for Sekar to marry an ordinary person but live a happy and peaceful life. Rather than marry a man whose wealth is plentiful but whose safety is threatened.

Until before dawn Mr. Hadi was also unable to close his eyes. His mind kept on remembering his only princess. finally, Mr. Hadi decided to take a bath and went to the mosque where he usually performs the morning prayers and the place where Sekar and Gilang used to hold a marriage contract. After the prayer, Mr. Hadi sat alone in the mosque until the imam of the mosque came over.

"Assalamualaikum Pak Hadi, I see the father of the daydreaming continues, has there been any news about Sekar Pak? " ask the Imam of the mosque named Mr. Abdullah.

"Not yet sir, but last night I had a dream, but it looks like it's real" Mr. Hadi told Mr. Abdullah about his dream.

"It may be a hunch Mr. Hadi, try to find out where the location of the village of Bumi Hangus," Mr. Abdullah suggested.

"that's what I'm thinking sir, where should I find out where is the location of the Scorched Earth village. I am only a village person who has no education and I also do not have friends of educated people" said Mr. Hadi with a face that was so sad.

A few moments later Mr. Abdullah scrunched his forehead.

"Here are some articles about the village of Scorched Earth. I read the core part, sir, " said Mr. Abdullah. Mr. Hadi immediately tightened his seat to be closer to Mr. Abdullah seen a speck of spirit from his tired face.

"The first to explain about the scorched Earth village is a remote village, where all the inhabitants have a profession as, robbers, thieves, scavengers and snatchers, because the activities of the villagers are disturbing the surrounding villagers.

So that one night all the people who live around the village united to destroy and burn the houses of robbers, thieves, scammers and snatchers. The flames soaring high destroyed the homes of the entire village. All the villagers around gathered the villagers and were asked to swear to no longer do the illegal work that unsettled the community and for those who resisted were immediately killed while those who obeyed the surrounding population returned live in the village and made a house by the residents as a place to live. They have been farmers until now. Another article explains the geographical location of the charred Earth village which turned out to be in a neighboring province. It takes hours to get there by bus"

"How sir, do you intend to find Sekar there, "ask Abdullah. I immediately replied with a nod. Of course I will look for Sekar there, because my hunch says that Sekar is there. I'll use all my savings for the cost of finding Sekar.

"My father will be looking for you, we will definitely meet again, wait for my father!!" pak Hadi's mind with teary eyes.

After knowing the location of the village of Scorched Earth. Mr. Hadi immediately went home to get ready to go there.

"It's a little money for the fare down the road sir. I can only help prayer, hopefully Sekar soon found," Mr. Abdullah handed over several pieces of money a hundred thousand, Mr. Hadi immediately refused because he thought at home there was still savings. But Mr. Abdullah continued to insist that Mr. Hadi accept it, who knows the road is needed. eventually Mr. Hadi also received the money given by Mr. Abdullah. Mr. Abdullah also told what bus Hadi had to take to get there.

That day, Mr. Hadi immediately packed up, prepared all the needs. He brought all his savings money, in the form of Cash money that he shared and stored in different places and unexpected places to avoid if he was pickled on the road, so he still had savings. In addition, he also brought an Atm containing some money. After he finished packing, he locked all the doors. By using an online ojek he set off the master terminal. Until the mother terminal of Mr. Hadi directly to the bus ticket purchasing counter majoring Bumi Harapan according to the direction of Mr. Abdullah.

"When you go to the Earth of Hope, how many hours?" ask Mr. Hadi to the mothers of the counter attendants.

"About twenty hours sir, it might be there tomorrow morning" replied the counter attendant kindly.

"ooooh, thanks. After paying a sum of money, Mr. Hadi immediately left the ticketing counter, in fact he wanted to ask more but he felt good about the passengers who queued behind him.

After getting a ticket, Mr. Hadi went straight to the bus majoring Bumi Harapan. Kernet bis invited Mr. Hadi to enter. He went straight into the bus and found that there were only a few people inside. Mr. Hadi immediately sat in the second seat.
