Mystery of Small Shoes

52

The woman was wearing a mask, she stared at Rudi who was trying to calm Sarah who was still in shock.

"That's it. Let's just go. Don't get into trouble, the money's in here!" said the masked man in front of him

"No. I'll be here for a minute!" said the woman.

"Don't fuck around, the cops could've come here!" said the man a little loudly.

The woman laughed loudly at the words of her partner.

"Police? I'm not scared. They'll never catch me!"

"Udah. Let's go!" said the man again while pulling the woman's arm.

The woman had to obey the will of the man. They both rushed out of the room. But the woman turned to Rudi and Sarah who were staring at them.

"You're still as handsome as you used to be!" abugn.

"Who are you?" rudi snaps at the woman.

"You must know who I am" the woman replied with a chilling laugh.

Rudi frowned, he kept trying to remember the voice. The voice of the woman who was now gone from their sight.

"Keep know him?" sarah asked still.

"It seems familiar, but I don't know who he is yet" Rudi replied as he hugged Sarah.

Rudi immediately contacted the police chief who was leading his army to arrest the man who kidnapped Sarah in the wrong place

"Hello, Sir. My wife has been found. They took him back to the building where my wife was last seen!"

I don't know what the police commander said. Rudi looked seriously listening to the instructions from her.

"Yes. Yep. Okay, Sir!" rudi replied to the police commander

"The woman hates me so much, Mom," Sarah said in tears as she recalled what she had experienced during her captivity.

"He hurt you?" rudi asked while watching over Sarah's entire body.

"It was so. But the man got in his way" said Sarah Lieih.

"Do you see what that woman looks like?"

"No, he never showed his face. Always wear a mask!"

"But he's always been around you?" rudi asked while stroking Sarah's head which was still in her arms

"Once he comes. But from the way he talks, he doesn't like me. Never wanted to be around me for long. I don't know what the cause is. As I remember I never knew her" said Sarah who had calmed down.

Rudi led Sarah out of the room. She unceasingly kissed Sarah's hand all the way to her car in the parking lot.

"Mas, are you really giving them as much money as they're asking?" ask Sarah in the car.

Rudi nodded. Sarah took a deep breath.

"But that's a lot, Mom!"

"It's okay. Money can still be sought, "Rudi replied.

Sarah's situation at that time was very messy. His eyes are swollen with dark circles due to crying and lack of sleep. His body was very weak due to lack of food intake. His face looked pale with chapped lips. He drooped weakly in the front seat of Rudi's car.

"We go to the doctor first, okay?" bring Rudi.

"No need. Let's just go home. I want to see Bio," replied Sarah.

'You can't meet Bio in this situation. He'll ask a lot of questions."

Sarah agreed to get a doctor's checkup first. Rudi immediately searched the nearest hospital and took Sarah for a thorough examination. Shortly the police commander who had spoken with Rudi came after Rudi informed them of their current position.

"Good day!" greet the police to Rudi.

"How is your wife?" tanyakanya.

"It's still a doctor inside" explained Rudi.

While waiting for the results of the examination, Rudi and the police continued to chat and talk about the kidnapping that Sarah had just experienced.

"Perhaps for more clarity, we'll question Sarah's mother" the police said.

"So the investigation will continue?"

"of course. This is clearly a criminal act. They're our fugitives now. My men are still tracing their tracks!" obviously the cop.

The doctor examined Sarah carefully and meticulously as Rudi asked. The police chief also ordered the hospital to immediately provide a copy of Sarah's health report to the police.

"Good, Sir. As soon as the results of his examination come out, we will hand over a copy to the police," the hospital official said.

Without feeling tired Rudi continued to accompany Sarah to undergo a medical examination. After all, Rudi brought Sarah to his house so that Sarah could clean up and rest there first without any interference. Rudi wants when Sarah meets Fabio, Sarah is fresh. Rudi also told his family about Sarah's current situation.

"Mom agrees. You take Sarah to your house first so you can get enough rest, leave her alone. Fabio let it be here just like Fathia," said Rudi's mother.

"Does my aunt need to be sent there? Let me make you guys," asked Rudi's father.

"No, Dad. Rudi can take care of it. Sarah still doesn't eat. This just want Rudi masakin," explained Rudi.

Rudi turned down his father's offer in order for him to have quality time with Sarah. He wanted to give Sarah as much attention as possible. Moreover, they are still newlyweds.

"Darling, you take a break, don't move much. Let's quickly recover his strength," said Rudi when he saw Sarah approaching after finishing the bath.

"Yes, Mas. My body hurts all," said Sarah.

"Did they beat me up there?" ask Rudi.

"No. But I didn't sleep there because I was scared" Sarah explained.

"I've already masakin you. What are you going to eat here in the room?" ask Rudi.

"Here it is."

She prepared food for Sarah.

"Want me a bribe?" asked Rudi while thrusting a plate containing the food he cooked.

"Eat it yourself. You eat too, Mas," Sarah said.

"I want to see my wife eat first, then I can eat. I am just like you as long as you don't exist. I only sleep for a while, eat irregularly, even if you force me. I'm so worried!"

"I'm sorry for believing so easily in someone I just met" Sarah said, feeding her food into her mouth

"That means that when the kidnap you had a chance to talk to them first?"

"Yes. The man convinced me that he was Mas's man to take me, because he said Mas had to go finish important business. He also had time to tell that Mas Rudi was his friend long ago. But the woman is silent," explained Sarah again.

"You see his face?" ask Rudi curiously.

"It's just men, it's just fleeting. As for the woman, she continued to wear the mask. He said he's just getting facial treatments, so his face is ugly, so don't want to open the mask."

"What did he tell you about me?"

"Mostly about the past, in the old Mas workplace. He said he was talented and intelligent, but for one thing he was stupid. I trust people easily," explained Sarah. The last mouthful landed in Sarah's mouth.

"You want to add?" ask Rudi. Sarah shook.

Hearing Sarah's story, Rudi recalled someone in her past. Sinta and Hardi.

"Is it possible they? But aren't they in jail? Are they free?" inner Rudi.

Rudi searches the internet for information about the case of Hardi and Sinta, his former lover in the past. The case of embezzlement of company money that they did at that time had become news. Rudi could easily find articles about their case.

After reading it Rudi became increasingly convinced that the culprit was them. Rudi immediately contacted the police chief who handled the kidnapping of his wife
