Alex gives Daniel a brown envelope
“heeee” Rayya took the envelope first
“Hei! No Dek! That's papi!” daniel gently took the envelope from Rayya's hand. Alex smiled, not long before Ranna and Raffa approached her papi
“Papiii!!”
“ya? why not continue playing?” ask Daniel
“Kakak push a kid!” raffa reports, Daniel glares at Ranna
“Why brother?” Ranna approached and hid behind Alex's body afraid of being scolded
“his way is long, so sister push so fast” elaknya
“Then the boy cried no?” ask Daniel
“We don’t know. We left” replied Raffa casually
“I don't think I can open this envelope here, too bother!” Daniel put the envelope in his bag
“You guys sit quietly and eat huh? papi ordered it! Brother, sister wash your hands first!” daniel's orders
“Yess papi!!” the two children ran hand in hand, Alex smiling at the sight of the two
“Day you must be bothered!”
“No too! Usually there are baby sitters but today they have returned first to Jakarta, oh yes how much does this all cost?”
“No need!” jawan Alex eating his food
“Not necessary? Really?” Daniel returns to feed Rayya
“In exchange I want to ask for help to find a job. Whatever On Lexi can, on Dar.co , on CITE can also”
“Hah? Would you like to resign from Interpol?”
“I want to be a freelance agent only, like you!”
“Yakin? Money is a little!”
“Yes is okay but it is safe, so I asked for a job, I have sent my CV via email”
“According to your qualifications or security section?”
“Tersubah, a position whose salary is good, gini-gini I have a bachelor strata 1 you know!”
“Alright, later I call if there is the right position for you, btw why suddenly you want to be a freelance power?”
“Hmm...I will get married!”
“Wahhh!!! Congratulations to you!!! eventually...Alex the Playboy will let go of his free time” Daniel regretted
“Yeah! My boyfriend is pregnant, I have to marry him immediately before his stomach enlarges” Alex replied frankly
“Oh, where's your girlfriend from?”
“You remember Szaza? Four years ago? Case Majorka?”
“Yes? what happened to Szaza?”
“He's dead, and he left his 19-year-old son to ku”
“if not wrong Ameere?”
“Not! Ameera!”
“iya Ameera! "
"I'll marry her!”
“Oh yes? but that time Szaza disappeared?”
“Actually he survived. He was recruited to be a field agent and was shot a year ago. Since then I have become close to Ameera”
“Where will you get married?”
“In the church in his grandmother's village, after marriage I will take him to the city.”
“Mom? Where's mama?”
“The mother was admitted to a local mental hospital, it was because of Bruno's actions that raped her. He's been traumatized. Szaza only learned of the state of the ex-wife of his mother-in-law, they hid it all this time. Szaza killed his two cousins!” Alex told me as if there were no burdens.
“I'm sorry!”
“But Niel! I wonder after you are no longer active in Interpol is your expertise still there?”
“Maybe! I don't know! But you know that not caring for the two toddlers also needs skills, for a moment yes, I have to find the two children! I'm picking Rayya!” Daniel got up and went to the hand wash. He did not find his two children, then he went to the game, for a moment he felt anxious because the playground so many children and he was a little difficult to find his son.
“Sister! Brother!!” call him
“Ya piii!!” ranna replied, he was struggling in a tree-shaped toy
“Where is Raffa?” ask Daniel
“I’m here pi!” Raffa's hanging in a higher place
“Come down! Eat first just come home!”
“Ya piii!!” both jumped into the safety net
“Ehhhh!!” Daniel was panicking with the behavior of the two stones
“Hahaha..” both laughed in excitement, while Daniel looked very worried about his face. He immediately held his two children and asked them to wash their hands, then sat them in the baby chair
“No! We no baby!” reject Raffa
“Abang! Sit up right!” daniel's orders, his heavy and decisive voice made Raffa and Ranna obey. Alex is used to Rayya, he's now bribing her.
“These kids like their mama love to climb!”Daniel rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead
“How old are they?” ask Alex
“Ah yes! I forgot to introduce you! Uncle Alex this is Ranna 2.5 years and this is Raffa 2 years while the little one is Rayya 8 months! Say hi to uncle!!”
“Hay!!” the two greeted as they ate their meal, Alex smiled.
“Are you so soft for taking care of these kids?” ask Alex to investigate
“Do not get wrong! Not always soft, firm also should be. Consistency is the hardest! Her mom always criticizes me for not consistently applying rules to these kids, sometimes seeing their innocent faces makes me weak!”
“Are you planning to have a child so close?”
“Hahaha..no..we are still young, let alone my wife who when married is still a dozen years”.
“Oh yes? how old was he when you got married?”
“Seventeen years!”
“Seventeen years? Waw! I think the age of Ameera 19 years was too young but instead you are younger again”
“Yes that is, I have to move quickly, otherwise my wife will be taken another man!”
“Persis Daniel I know! Ambitious and know for sure his wish!”
“So, actually fill this envelope what?”
“If the scroll had no contents, I have checked whether there is secret ink or secret writing in it remains empty. I asked a friend of mine in the lab for the scroll to be processed immediately, it just so happens that my friend owes a lot to ku”
“So? Why is this envelope so heavy? What's it all about?”
“Oh that, I process the photo of the person you sent to my phone, there is information about that person”
“The guy? Wh who? Did you get a clear picture?”
“Of course! Interpol has a super-sophisticated multimedia lab that can fine-tune images to pixel docked. And that guy is...Radian!”
“hah? Uhuk...uhukk Daniel coughed
“Radian? Have you not misidentified?”
“No!, I double checked it. It turns out that all this time he became an industry informant and hid himself from the industrial mafia. His life is threatened, he also turns out to be a CIA” freelance agent
“hah? Really? How do you know that kind of info? Usually the status of the person on the run is classified alias very secret!”
“I told you, my connections are everywhere! A few years ago I saved a computer hacker from murder. Well, I asked him to hack the secret information from the CIA, and he could do it in just 15 minutes without being discovered! Truly a dangerous person” Alex said
“So yeah? though I think Mr. Radian is dead”
“I'm also surprised, a trained agent like you why can be careless to recognize people? Don't-don't?”
“Why?”
“I remember! When the corpse recognition training used to be you were often absent! Whoa!! You are!”
“I can't stand to see a bloody corpse!” answer Daniel
“What’s papi corpse?” ask Raffa
“Dead body!” answer Alex
“Dead? Like long sleep?” ask Raffa
“Yes!!” Alex rubbed Raffa's head
“Papi, I'm done! Can we play again?” ask Ranna
“No! brother stay here, just watch this!” Daniel gave the tablet he accidentally brought”
“Hahaha..you are like a parent in general, so that you easily love gadgets!” Alex laughed crisply
“You haven't seen the action of these two children before, so it's better to sit here just watching!” answer Daniel
Finally their meeting was over,
“Let me contact Alex, thank you very much!” Daniel shakes Alex
“Kids, greetings equals uncle!” daniel's orders
“Thank you uncle!” ranna and Raffa said at the same time, Alex smiled and rubbed their heads together. They split up, and Daniel and the children returned to the apartment
“Hai! You guys back?” Rita has been in the apartment she welcomed her two children
“Mamiii, we met uncle Alex!” raffa said as she opened her shoes and put them on the shoe rack
“Alex? Who's Alex? Brother Ranna! His shoes!” Rita warns Ranna who leaves her shoes strewn. Lazily Ranna put her shoes on the shelf.
“You wash your hands and face first! Mami makes a good cake deh”
The two children run to the kitchen to wash their hands, Daniel gives Rayya to Rita
“Waduh, adek...great weight.wah diaper full nih!” Rita immediately took her youngest child to the nursery to be bathed. Daniel took the brown envelope and opened it slowly
“Papi! Want cake?” ranna asked, he took the cake with his hand and fed it to Daniel's mouth
“aaaa..thank you brother! Next time use the plate? it's like Brother!”
Raffa sits neatly with a cake on a small plate and eats it with a plastic spoon. Ranna went back to the kitchen and picked up a small plate, then cut the cake with her hand and brought it to the front of the TV.
Daniel opened the envelope and watched the pictures inside one by one
“That’s Adian!” raffa suddenly pointed to a photo of a mysterious person with a face covered in black cloth
“eh? This bang?”
“yes!”
“Abang know now Adian where?” daniel asked, Raffa shook his head
“Adian greet Pi?” ranna asked, her face now filled with butter. He licked with pleasure.
Rita has finished bathing and changing Rayya's clothes
“Aduhhh Brother! So that's it, out of this shower huh? brother too!”
“Ya mi!” answer both
“Enak not cake?”
“Yummy!!!” answer Raffa
“Enaakkk!!!..kak doesn't like the climax!” said Ranna
“oh cream..hehehehe..” Rita smiled happily, her efforts to make a cake the last hour was not in vain, she noticed her husband who was so serious about reading the paper on the envelope
“So brother? Bang's? Take a shower! Put it first in the dishwasher, do not need to be washed so that only mami wash!”
The two children followed and did as they were told.
The day began at night, the children were exhausted so they went to bed early.
“What are you doing anyway, it looks like the kids are so tired?” Rita fell asleep while hugging her husband's body
“They climb the trees! Pretty high then dropped into the safety net” replied Daniel, his mind drifting thinking about Radian
“Hmm..Is there something in that photo?”
“Hah? Oh yes, that's a photo of Radian!”
“Really! Alex has confirmed it” replied Daniel
“Alex?”
“You remember not my Interpol friend who helped save you in Russia first?”, Rita kept in mind
“Oh yes, Alex yes, he served in Singapore?”
“Iya!, she is getting married soon but in Russia!” Daniel told it in a flat voice
“So..” Rita got out of bed
“What do you want?”
“To the toilet!”
Daniel's still thinking about Radian. From the toilet Rita changed into clothes in pajamas
“So Om Radian is alive?” rita said, she returned to lay down beside her husband
“Yes, it turns out he was a CIA” informant
“Hah? How can? He is not US”
“So CIA agents do not need US people, you if you have something the CIA needs can also be recruited as agent” replied Daniel
“What's why he pretended to die?”
“According to info from Alex, the industrial mafia is now very dangerous especially amid the growing world business competition after pandemic”
“Danger? for example?”
“Yes, they have an extensive network, people who can make the world economy plummet. Informants like Mr. Radian are usually infiltrated, it seems his position as an informant is known to their organization so they are eyeing his life”
“What's that why Raffa said Radian asked for help?”, Daniel nodded
“You know what scares me?”
“You scared?”
“Sure!, I'm afraid I can't help Mr. Radian, I'm afraid for helping him I can hurt my family.” Daniel was lethargic, he kissed his wife's head
“How about we ask please Grandpa Sugi only!” rumil Rita
“Kakek Sugi? Wow..if it turns out he was part of the mafia how?” daniel said, Rita glared
“Sorry..not what I mean..but.” Daniel stopped his speech because Rita's face seemed to dislike his words
“I mean like this, Om Radian is in danger and he's asking for our help. He should have known who was involved in the mafia. Well we can ask him, if it turns out that Sugi's grandfather is not involved, we can ask him for help!” rumil Rita
“But how can we find Mr Radian? He's been calling us all this time?”
“hmm...how about we use Raffa power only!”
“Raffa? Hows it? Can you really?”
“Do not know if not tried!” Rita got up from her bed and went to Raffa's room, and carried him.
“eh..later if he wakes up how?” whispered Daniel
“Sstttt!!!. It is precisely when he is unconscious that we can ask his subconscious” whispered Rita, he put Raffa in their bed.
“Raffa...Where's adian?” rita whispered into Raffa's ear
“hhhh Raffa stalls
“No success!” whispered Daniel
“But!!!” answer Rita again
“Abang...Adian asked for help” whispered Rita again
“hhhhh...hhh” no answer from Raffa, he actually snored.
“ did not work that!” whispered Rita
“Try me!” Daniel approached Raffa and whispered
“Abang, please papi, find Adian is where?” daniel whispered, this time Raffa was silent, his eyes were closed but the eyeballs in them were twitching, then he muttered
“O house!” he's back to sleep
“Home O? Om time in Sukabumi? “ whispered Rita wonder
“Already!” Daniel took Raffa back and returned to his bed
“No way Sukabumi, you said this scroll was thrown yesterday right?” ask Daniel
“Iya! Hmm..home O? What does apartment O mean? Means downstairs?”
“Tomorrow I asked the same security about the apartment downstairs”
“Also this Yang, apartment O provided Dar.Co for the past year”
“Then we withdraw our return to Jakarta” Daniel said
In the morning, Daniel met security and asked the residents of the apartment downstairs that previously occupied Mario.
“Oh already filled by husband and wife sir, wow what a coincidence that they!” answer security. Daniel watched the two couples
“Do you want me to introduce them?” ask security
“No! Thank you!” Then Daniel calls Eddy, his ex-man in Dar.co
“Halo!”
“Yes? mr Daniel? how are you?” eddy's voice sounded happy
“Good Eddy, how are you?”
“We are here adjusting Mr. Daniel. Oh yes sir Daniel is in Singapore?”
“Iya”
“Then stop by sir!”
“Alright! Oh yes Ed, can I ask you a favor?”
“Ya Sir?”
“Can find out his apartment Mario last year?”
“Pak Mario?”
“Ah yes! Sir Mario!” Daniel smiled, he remembered Mario's last position in Dar.co
“Shortly sir! Sorry I will send you the address!”
“Thank you Ed!”
Daniel takes a taxi to his old office which has been renamed CITE.
“I want to meet Mr Eddison!” ask Daniel to Security
“Pak Daniel! how are you sir!” security
“Good!” Daniel was surprised that security remembered him
“Bapak wonder yes why I can remember father?”
“Ya?”
“Then, every morning the women lined up on this floor just to see Mr. Daniel come” said the security smiling
“Times yes? How do I not know? I think this floor is always crowded”
“No sir! Only at the office entrance hour, at half 9 am, after Mr. Daniel passed this floor back to sleep”
“Oh so!”
“Pak Daniel!” call Eddy over
“Hai Ed!, I went there first! Thank you!” Daniel is addressing that security
“How are you, sir Daniel, who is still as handsome as before!” Eddy seemed very happy to meet his former boss
“Ah you could! Uh this is bread from my wife” Daniel gave a box of bread D’Ritz for Eddy
“For me sir?”
“Iya!, he said hello to your son! She still remembers your son's invitation to her school”
“Hahaha..iya sir..oh yes now Ranna already has a sister again?”
“Iya, her name is Rayya is 8 months”
“So Ranna, Raffa and Rayya”
“Throttle once!”
“Hahahaha..” both laugh.
“So how now here?”
“Hmm..if from the managerial side is better sir than Dar.co before because the CITE people are new and rigid everything. I think it's good, if Dar.co used to porous from the inside, maybe in CITE this is not like so”
“Oh so yes?”
“Eh this pack the address of his apartment Mr. Mario for the past year but according to his assistant he more often occupies a more modest apartment in the suburbs. His assistant is often asked to deliver groceries to sana”
“Oh yes? you also recorded the address?”
“Of course sir! Oh yes you should go to this suburban apartment before noon, because by noon the smell of the area is sickening”
“hah? What is that place?”
“After the place there is a unified garbage disposal usually during the day all the garbage from this city is gathered near the place it”
“Oh so, all right. Eddy thank you so much for the help!”
“Sama-sama sir Daniel, thank you for the bread!”
“Iya!”
Daniel exits the CITE office and calls a taxi to go to Mario's apartment, located 1 hour from the office. Daniel enters the apartment building and asks security about Mario's apartment.
“Oh apartment pak Mario, now still empty sir. A few weeks ago he had transported all his goods from here”
“So now the apartment is empty?”
“Betul pack!”
“I can see his apartment? Who knows if I want to rent it?”
Security took Mario's apartment keys, and took Daniel . They're going upstairs
“Wah from here the view is good too huh?”
“Betul sir! Actually, this area used to be of high value like apartments in orchid, but because of the competition and Orchid is closer to the business center so the interest of this apartment decreases only those who know or have been to this area are interested in staying here”
“Oh so”
“Pak Mario often invites his friends to his apartment, he says all of you promote this place. He is very nice and funny, we lost so much when he moved to Jakarta”, said Security
“Well we've arrived, let's pack!” Security opens Mario's apartment and lets Daniel in. Daniel walked around the apartment like someone was renting an apartment. After a while
“Alright, I will think, maybe there is a truth about the distance from the office here should be considered”, Daniel told security
“Iya sir!”
Daniel leaves the apartment and moves to a suburban apartment, calling Rita from a taxi.
“Honey, I'm on my way to an apartment on the edge of town”
“City suburbs? A moment! Is passing Bugis road?”, Daniel saw his taxi pass Bugis road
“Iya right! You know this place?”
“Iya, Mario used to rent the place for dad, later if there is a mini market, you buy masks and perfumes. The mask you love a little perfume, because the place stinks!”
“Hmm...so yes?”
“It's arrived sir! To reach the apartment at that address, you have to walk again approximately 500 meters, because the road can not be passed by car”
“Alright, oh can you wait here?” ask Daniel
“What Argo do I let light up?”
“It's okay, it's 50 dollars for down payment” Daniel gives a piece of money 50 Singapore dollars
“Good sir!”
Daniel walked to the road indicated by the taxi driver, he also stopped by for a moment to buy a mask, perfume, drinking water and snacks.
