chapter.3 In the hostages

Linda's tears kept dripping, sometimes wiped away , many people who passed by saw Linda crying along sad, and want to say hello , but not dare.

Arriving at home, Linda saw Windy and father sitting daydreaming at the door, the shophouse was empty.

Linda barged into the house, and cried - so, and ran out of the house again, not caring about the father and Windy who were still watching her.

Lin! .... Linda!! .. Call dad.

Brother!! ... Windy's in pursuit.

Dad and Windy run to find Linda, and eventually find Linda has fallen on the field unconscious.

Father tried to raise his daughter, and Windy cried seeing her brother's condition .

Highlights of the morning sun began to appear, as well as the activities of the people in the building, there is a classy room atmosphere in it so luxurious, Mr. Tirta sat looking at some photos ,the employee has prepared on his desk.

Mr. Tirta is the boss in the company engaged in entertainment, ''celeb star'" which has scored many Artists, whose name soared because of his services.

Pak Tirta is not young anymore , he looks young even though he is half a century old, but his appearance is still handsome and cool.

"This is it, old singer asked Pak Tirta?

"Pointing a photo! but he's dead! how do you put it on my table, "pak Tirta said looking strangely at Ms. Sinta ...

Sinta's mother felt her throat was hard to swallow.

"Why you? ask pak Tirta.

"Eh .. You make me sad to put a picture of him on my desk to remember again deh " said Mr. Tirta.

"Ee ... still with difficulty speaking Sinta ma'am for fear of pak Tirta getting angry.

"Eh like this sir, I want to tell you that in fact he has two daughters and the oldest age has grown up while one is still their Junior High in trouble.

Then !!

How can you know ?

"Someone told sir, and I heard her voice was good, just like her mother," replied Sinta.

"Oh, Mr. Tirta gasped in shock.

do you have a picture of him?

"No sir yet, but if you will! give me one week at the most.

"Search! ... Quick search !! .. photo yes," said pak Tirta.

"Alright sir, Sinta's mother was a bit surprised, seeing the reaction of the Tirta Pact her voice was slightly quivering.

Sinta's mother soon passed, leaving the silent Tirta pact looking away out the window, and flash back to the past, what child is my son?

Awakening from the daydream, because the sound of people knocking on the door.

"Yes ... log in!

Looked Artha in, 'em ,

Pak Tirta was very helpful to Artha and greeted her warmly like her own son.

"Come on, please sit tha'.

"How are you doing ? Okay sir," reply Artha .Thank goodness then .

"Oh, want to ask for a contract yes, for a while, sir Tirta picked up the phone on his desk and told Sinta's mother, to bring her contract Artha.

"This is sir ! ... Ms. Sinta gave it to Mr. Tirta, now you are helping Sinta's mother yes" said Mr. Tirta .

Artha nodded in understanding, and walked out of the room with Sinta's mother.

Suddenly Artha passed by a newcomer artist, named Thasia.

"Hi Artha, you're on contract here too huh?" said thasia

While nodding, "may I ask your number, who knows if I need it one day" asked Artha.

"OK ,...

Thasia did not mind at all, instead was very happy, who the hell would mind being asked for his phone number, if the man was as cool as Artha, would definitely not reject him.

Artha continued her business with Sinta's mother leaving Thasia who was smiling - smiling herself.

Why would Artha ask for my phone number? ,"Thasia asked in her heart?

▪️▪️

Dad!. .. dad! .. but the wanted one did not meet ,Windy had already left for school.

Suddenly, the phone rang

Crings! ... ring ...

"Hallo, .. This is Linda ?

"That man's voice sounds heavy and firm, your father is with us, because your father can't pay our debts, pay off immediately otherwise your father won't survive" said the loan shark.

"Can I talk to dad" asked Linda, hearing my dad's voice

flattened - brick and weak.

"Lin forgive me for once again not being honest with you, how much you really owe, sobbing in tears.

Linda could not bear to hear her stepfather crying like that.

" Please sir, don't get why - why my father, give me time to get the money.

How much should I pay?" asked Linda.

"Oh, .. You have to pay 250 million.

"What?

"We give you 2 weeks," said the loan shark, the phone was disconnected.

Linda limp down holding both her legs, her tears flowing slowly, as if to scream because of such a heavy burden, for half an hour Linda pondered her fate, looking around her house ,the stall is empty, there are no items left.

250 Million is not a little money, what should I do as I continue to walk, Linda woke up wiping her tears, washing her face in the sink, trying to calm down and thinking clearly ,I need to be able to handle this.

Linda went straight to the suitcase,

bag, also cardboard for packing

stuff - stuff.

Linda was so worried about what if something happened to her stepfather, Linda panicked and began to clean the makeup tools on her dresser, and clothes in the closet.

It was a little late in the afternoon when Windy's voice came home from school.

As usual, Windy came home from school looking for his father.

Dad ! .. Dad!

What her brother found in the room was full of stuff scattered on the mattress and a large suitcase.

Brother what is this brother!

We should vacate this house immediately .

Hah! ... to ... why brother?

"Our father in danger, while holding Windy's shoulder we have to sell this house as soon as possible" Linda said.

"Windy is crying hysterically .. why is it so sister ?... Windy is sitting drowning, what will happen to my father?

Linda tried to calm her half sister's heart, while wiping her tears, hugging and caressing her sister made Windy stop crying.

We need to move out of here as soon as possible, so that you can quickly help dad, you need to be strong to help brother with all the stuff,

Where are we going, brother? Ask Windy

"We're moving into a smaller house, is that okay? While stroking his sister's hair that looked still in shock, Windy nodded in agreement.

Windy started helping her brother pack stuff .

Without feeling like their stomachs had rung a sign they had to stop for a moment, and while eating dinner they looked at the room sadly. Windy shed his tears again.

They had to give her a house full of memories that were for sale.

Last night they were busy tidying up some stuff, they looked tired and fell asleep .

Today Windy is absent from school because her eyes look puffy, as big brother can understand

how does Windy feel, definitely can not focus on the subjects in school.

As soon as morning arrived, Linda immediately went to the office of the home sales agent, all the way home Linda prayed that everything would be facilitated, to be able to help her stepfather.
