Episode 11 - QR Code

“What?! You're Delan, don't joke. Try clear talk.” Papa Haris is shocked to hear Delan's words, hoping he misheard them.

“Iya Om, this morning Delan came to the airport, but on the information screen there was no flight number Naryla, I think I was wrong to note Om, but after asking Om turned out to be the same, I thought I was wrong, then Delan asked the officer about it, and he said the plane that Naryla was on, at 05:55 here, was missing.. Delan apologizes Om.” Delan tried to explain what happened to Papa Haris.

Papa Haris froze. I can't believe what happened to her son. He blamed himself for being more concerned with work than delivering and making sure his son survived to his destination, instead leaving his proud daughter alone.

“Om?” call Delan again.

Papa Haris is aware of his daydream, “Eh yes Nak Delan,” replied papa.

“Im sorry Delan Om, Delan will try to find and find Naryla. Please Om and aunt be patient.. Delan will do everything possible.” Delan tried to convince Papa Haris again.

“Eh? Ohh, son, it's okay, please find Naryla.. Bring him back alive,” Papa replied again.

“Delan try Om, Delan sure Naryla will be fine, we are the same as praying. Delan hang up the phone first Om.” Then Delan hung up the phone unable to talk about it anymore with Naryla's family.

Papa was still pensive, memories flashed with his son. He didn't feel like he was shedding tears. Mama who just finished bathing found papa like that immediately approached.

“Pa? Papaa? (swinging his hand in front of papa's face),” said mama.

“What's Pa?” ask mama again. Papa then told me what Delan said.

“Huhuuu why should Naryla Pa? why our little princess? he didn't do anything wrong.. It's wrong mama who does not allow Ila to choose the majors as she wishes. forced the will of mama, finally even this way. mama guilty Pa.. huhuuu.” Mama was crying.

“It's been a darling, not your fault, don't blame yourself.. As long as there is no evidence, we have hope.. We pray that Ila can be found in good condition yes.” Papa tries to toughen up, who else will be the place to lean on this woman he loves if not him.

“But mama can't live without Naryla Pa.. Mama loves him very much like her own biological child,” continued mama.

“Papa so Ma, please do not dissolve.. We have to go look for Naryla, not to be silent and lose our grief. Our little boy must be waiting for his mom to pick him up.. Yes.. Ma'am? Papa please,” Papa hugs tightly mama trying to be the best leaning place for mama to let go of her sadness.

The next day, Papa Haris and Mama Rianti tell their colleagues about what happened, and convey their intention to momentarily search for Naryla's whereabouts. Fortunately, their colleagues were able to understand and encouraged them to focus on Naryla's search and let her project be supervised by her colleague.

No more waiting, the afternoon Papa Haris and Mama Rianti boarded a flight to Indonesia. They contacted all acquaintances who would have helped with the search.

Three days later, news of Naryla's plane disappearance broke out in various media and two weeks later it quickly became the world's trending topic. The reason is, there were no wreckage of the plane or the bodies of the victims in the flight path and the surrounding area. The governments of Indonesia and Australia have made every effort to search the Indian Ocean.

The impasse of the case invites many assumptions from various parties. Mama Rianti and Papa Haris, friends of Naryla's friend, and also Delan who knew it felt very sad.

Melbourne, Australia

Delan was hanging out with his friends at Gerald's apartment. As usual they talk, play games, or watch movies. But Delan had been visibly uninspired since that morning at the airport.

Keido, who had noticed the difference between Delan sikan since the last few years, finally ventured to ask Delan. “Delan, the end of this you look different. Are you any more problems?”

“Eh Oh? I'm sorry, sorry sorry.” Delan tried to smile and gulp down the drink Gerald had provided.

The four friends of Delan exchanged lyrics as if hinting “We should talk.”

This time Tommy started, “Del, maybe we do not understand what your problem is, but we are here the same from the beginning, it is difficult to be happy together. We don't want you to take us for someone else, wewe're worried about your condition and hope to help you even a little. So I hope you want to share your story with us we, at least it can reduce your load.”

“Iya Del, I feel you're a little different these two weeks. Lu is also like less care for your body, we are worried about you getting sick or how-how,” continued Charlos.

“Hmm.. You know the news that is a trending topic at this time?” Delan started to sound, “That day I was there, but in-he did not exist.” His friends were confused by what Delan said.

“Try you slow down and take details how,” said Gerald while giving mineral water.

“Hiks,” Tears Delan not accommodated anymore, “Dia..id my heart, I just try to get him a few months, he wants to go to college here also because he knows the info from me, I have to learn from him, but he instead ...,” said Delan hanging. “She was on that plane.., I shouldn't have gotten her on board, so she'll be fine now.” Delan closed the story.

Charlos, Tommy, Keido, and Gerald were silent for a moment. Then they tried to convince Delan that it wasn't his fault and it was fate. Must continue to pray that his heart will be found soon, and if not he must rise so that the spirit of the heart is calm there.

Delan wept more and more but his burden was reduced after telling that.

As the night progressed, the four of them returned to their homes. Gerald tidied up his apartment as before and intended to read the news about the trending topic revealed by Delan earlier. He sat at the middle room table with a laptop and a glass of juice.

Tick tick. Tick tick. He typed some keywords that are trending topic aviation news. While reading the article, he sipped his juice. “Slrupp, Aaah.. Segarr,” he said enjoy..

He continued to read and read, once watching news broadcasts on youtube. A dozen articles he had read, until the juice was almost exhausted. Until you arrive at one article, “Uhuk. Uhuk.” He choked at the contents of the article.

Someone uploaded a photo of an electronic ticket belonging to his relatives who boarded the plane. He saw something unpleasant. There is a QR Code at the bottom of the electronic ticket. From afar, there is nothing wrong with the QR Code. No. gabe. If someone else were to look, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Gerald zoomed in on the picture.

Tick. tick..

Then press the arrow keys to the right on her keyboard three times, and zoom it out again a little.

“Hahh!” Gerald was flabbergasted to the back of the sofa where he was sitting. “What the fuck is this, does it have anything to do with it?” His heart skipped a beat to find the CIPT logo engraved on the QR Code.
