Rudy looked at the ceiling of the room where he was. He had woken up for the second time, but this time he was silent and still lying on the bed. He thought of a way to survive the kidnapping. But even though he had thought about it so deeply, he still found it difficult to find a way. He's just a seven-year-old kid. What can he do to be able to free himself, while his position is currently on a ship that is sailing in the middle of the sea?
“Kriet..” Rudy heard the door open. He immediately closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. He had learned how to pretend to sleep, he was so adept that his father was often fooled by his tricks.
“Available?” greet the man. The man who asked for himself was called an older brother by Rudy.
Rudy was silent. His father had told him a long time ago, the reason why his father always knew that he was still awake and pretended to sleep was even though both pupils were closed in his eyes twitching. At this moment he had done it right and made his pupils silent as if they were looking one way in the dark. But somehow as if this Brother knows that he is lying, did his father used to pretend to say that he was actually sleeping when awake or is it...? Rudy momentarily realized the reason why this Brother always comes right when he is awake is this Brother seems to have calculated the administration of sleeping pills that he drank so that this Brother can come on time when he was awake. It seems free to lie to him, Rudy's inner. “Yes, I just woke up,” the answer is finally. Then he woke up lazy. Is this brother going to give him sleeping pills again?
“You saw the sunset?” ask Ze to Rudy.
Rudy was a little surprised by the sister's question. He did not expect at all because he had been offered to do something exciting. He thought he would be tied up or told to eat food containing sleeping pills. But this offer was really beyond his shadow at all, of course he was interested in his offer. He had never seen the sunset from the ship, let alone the ship was currently in the middle of the sea. It looks like it will be a fun experience.
“Are you really going to take me to see it?” asked Rudy innocently.
“Ya, of course!” answer the brother.
“You won't drown me right?” asked Rudy with a little fear. What if he was suddenly thrown into the ocean because his parents could not give a ransom.
“Hahaha.. Make what! I just want you to accompany me,” said Ze, he changed the position of his hat to upside down so that Rudy could see his handsome face that was smiling amusedly.
Rudy was surprised and happy to see the big brother laughing. Happiness is contagious to Rudy, so he lowers his vigilance and tries to make friends. “My name is Rudy, what is your name?” ask her while extending her hand. He was so curious about the setting sun that he forgot the fact that the Big Brother in front of him was currently the kidnapper. Maybe that's the mind of children, always easily fascinated and distracted by new things.
Ze was a little amazed to see the brave Rudy. Though his hands were so dirty by the many crimes he did but this innocent and innocent boy did not see it as dirty as it was, instead inviting him to acquaintance. What a cute boy, he became even more fond of this boy and thought of saving Rudy for himself. This may be a little out of scenario. Anton asks her to kidnap Intan's son to barter Anton's freedom from prison, but once he sees Rudy, he is blown away. Although he is a homosexual but he is not a paedophile, he is very interested in Rudy because the boy reminds him of a childhood he never had.
He had never kidnapped a boy before, so he didn't know how to treat Rudy well. So during the journey he always made sure this boy continued to fall asleep. But come to think of it they're on the ship now? What's he afraid of? This kid won't be able to escape from her. No one could help him because they were currently boarding an illegal ship. He even has 3 scorkls in his bag in preparation to escape if something goes bad. Of course there will definitely be no arrests because no one will know where he is at the moment, nor Anton. But, he did not want to take the risk and continued to carry his bag wherever he was.
“Sweet boy, my name is Ze. Just for you but if someone asks you, you should say my name is Doni. And greetings know..” Ze replied while welcoming Rudy's hand.
"Good, Brother Ze. Now we're friends" Rudy said with a sweet smile.

After following up on Anton's words, Eka and his team diverted the search at the port and dock. They also comb through the CCTV around them. After they do a massive search, they finally get the bright spot of Rudy's search. They find the last shirt Rudy wore in the harbor dump. Although they did not find the figure of Rudy and his captor on CCTV but they were quite happy with the progress. Meaning Anton's word is not just a joke.
“Is there any latest news about Rudy?” tanya Intan once saw Rayan get a message on her phone. He had been so enthusiastic waiting for good news after they got information from Anton.
“Iya, they say have found Rudy's clothes in the trash can of the port city of A.”
“Really? Then how now. They can track him. Did they find the clue?” tanya Intan enthusiastically.
“They didn't find any CCTV showing a man and Rudy's peers. So now they target all the ships and boats that lead to the island of Borneo. Kalimantan police have also been on guard at the port and coastal island of Kalimantan. We just have to pray that there are other clues and Rudy will be found soon,” said Rayan.
“Amin... I hope Rudy is found soon,” replied Intan.
“Ruby where? I didn't see it?” ask Rayan.
“He played with Samuel, I hope he forgets a little about Rudy, from yesterday he kept crying asking where his sister is.”
“You haven't eaten,” said Rayan reminded his wife.
“I had no appetite before there was good news about Rudy,” replied Intan.
“Don't be stubborn,” said Rayan while embracing his wife and taking her to the kitchen. “You must stay healthy for the twins, and for me too,” Rayan replied as she kissed her lips. Fortunately they had moved in their own house next to Ema's house, if they were still hitchhiking, how embarrassed Intan was with Rayan's treatment.
“You also have to stay healthy for me and the kids,” Intan said. He hopes Rudy will soon be found and there are no more obstacles to their happiness.
