AUTHOR POV
3 Days have passed since Nadine's arrival in LA, but until now there has been no news of her husband. Adrian is like a lost man swallowed by the earth.
Every night Nadine went through without Adrian makes it difficult to fall asleep and often have nightmares. I don't think Nadine wants anything but to be next to Adrian at the moment.
Papa Alan was also unable to do much because his men could not trace Adrian's whereabouts. There are two possibilities, between Adrian who devised all his plans to catch Galih neatly and closedly, or indeed Adrian is in danger at the moment.
It would be a lie if Papa Alan was not worried about the situation of his eldest son who never guessed his way of thinking. Adrian always has a different perspective with his younger siblings whose lives tend to be straight.
"Mah.I have no heart to see Brother Nadine who is always moody every day. Ever since he came to LA, I've almost never seen him smile. His face was getting pale." Arjuna told Mama Diana.
Mama Diana sighed harshly. "Hmmm...My mom is the same Jun. But how else? Papa also has no information about your brother's whereabouts. We can't do anything but wait."
From the upper balcony, the two were staring at Nadine who was sitting in the backyard looking at the rose garden there. Nadine's face did not look bright and looked lethargic.
"Papa's men are not many Mah.Is there no other way to find Ian? It's been 3 days! Do we need to hire another detective? I'll help you find me, wait for Papa!" pissed Arjuna.
According to him, the handling of the Papa is so slow that his brother Adrian has no news until this moment. In addition to worrying about Adrian's condition, Arjuna also felt sad to see his brother-in-law who was pensive like a dazed person in recent days.
"Wouldn't be Jun, stop being reckless! Never do anything without Papa's consent. You think Papa's not trying? It's not all that easy to turn your palms around" prevent Mama Diana.
"Eleven Papa could not find Kak Ian, especially Kak Juna! Just be patient.positive thinking, maybe Brother Ian is on his way home!" chirps Arga who suddenly appeared from behind approached the mother and her second brother.
Arjuna clucked in annoyance and turned his face away.
"Cckkk. People have to chase the ball. Not that because papa who did not manage to find, I also experienced the same. It doesn't work like that. Who knows I'm more reliable?" Arjuna felt confident.
"Papa won't let you out, sister!" sahut Arga who sits on the sofa next to Mama Diana.
Arga looked over, "Where do you know?"
"Because I tried it yesterday. Not just Kak Juna who wants to look for Kak Ian, I am also the same. But Papa prevented me, the reason is not so much involved. Too dangerous."
Diana mediates her two sons.
"Already Arjuna..Arga..we better wait a cue from Papa aja yes. Mama is worried about you guys. When you were little, you were almost kidnapped by Galih's accomplice. Doesn't rule out the possibility that if you interfere they'll intervene."
"Kis Ian how's Mah?" ask Arjuna again.
"Mama believes Adrian can handle everything more than you guys who follow no obvious!" mama Diana's Scolding.
Arjuna and Arga finally comply and choose to follow the advice of his mother. After all, it was also impossible for them to plan something secretly without Papa Alan's knowledge because it would end up being discovered.
Only Adrian has the ability to incognito and avoid the randomness of Papa Alan. The proof until now has not met where the person is.
"Mending you take Nadine's walk there, entertain her! Mama was increasingly anxious to see Nadine who rarely ate, rarely spoke, rarely smiled. Though she is pregnant and should not think too much, later can affect the content!" obviously Mama Diana.
"The problem is that Nadine's sister always does not want Mah if I ajakin out. His days were just busy with knitting the same reading a book in his room. In this morning, it's a routine to sit in the garden of the house while looking at our rose garden!" said Arga.
Yesterday, actually Arga and Athena tried to take Nadine to go for a walk to the city park and shopping center to refresh her mind, but Nadine refused him outright. He always reasoned to want to be at home just waiting for Adrian.
"Tried again, change the atmosphere aja.ajakin Nadine to the beach. Maybe he wants to, because as far as Mama Nadine used to tell me that she likes to see the waves of the sea."
"Yes Ma, let me and Arjuna persuade him. If Brother Nadine wants, I'll ask Athena to help Fiona to prepare basketball for the picnic. Let the rame-rames go five!" arga proposal.
"Loh, the Mama wasn't invited? How is papa?" ask Arjuna.
"This is the show of young people Brother! Parents guard the house..to the beach also want to do? Wanna swim? The target is sinking like a rock! Papa and Mama are also strong running around in the sand!" tukas Arga the ignorant.
Mama Diana did not accept it and immediately patted Arga on the shoulder with a loud bang and flicked her ear. "Basically yes, a bad boy, a bad boy! The old man himself in the words, so evil are you!"
"Even Ma...kan kidding, Papa and Mama also if you want to do something? Mending you two quality time that, rather than follow young people who are active like us-we, right?" Arga reasoned logically so that Mama Diana would no longer go berserk.
"Here you two go to see Nadine now!" Mama Diana encouraged her two sons to get off the couch and off the balcony.
Arjuna and Arga finally relented and set their feet to approach Nadine who was sitting quietly on a long bench in the park.
Arga then walked around and deliberately insulted Nadine by surprising her from behind.
"YESY!!!" Arga held onto Nadine's shoulders slowly.
"Hi Brother Nadine!" greet Arga aloud and her hands are waving.
"Ckkk..kuh ya, make a surprise! Almost only this heart was dislodged, until it trembled Big Brother's hand!" nagel Nadine.
"Know Arga.iseng really! Pregnant people are colonized, the baby can be shocked! Not about what first. Play as you are!" Arjuna scolded Arga's childish actions.
"Switch Sister.sorry Brother Nadine, sorry baby too! Uncle Arga was making you surprised, don't be angry okay!" Arga chatted to himself as if he were talking to his nephew.
Nadine and Arjuna could only shake their heads at Arga's behavior.
"Halo Kak..kak how, healthy right? Is there anything else you want? What kind of food is that?" arjuna.
Little did Arjuna know, Nadine's appetite was getting less and less. At dinner together only, Nadine always took a small portion even bread was only dicuil only.
"Hi Arjuna, there's no...She is healthy and so far everything is normal. Brother there is no pregnancy craving for now," replied Nadine who smiled faintly.
"Or gini deh Kak, rather than silence and no work here.want not if for example we go to the beach?" Arga.
Nadine shakes. "Not ahh...Brother is here."
"Ishh, what the hell, brother? No exclamation, the time is 3 days stay in LA..Nadine has never been around. At home, not bored what?"
"Who said he was bored? Happy-happy brother! You're bored times..."
"Come on Kak, come yuk to the beach.mumpung this is already late afternoon and the weather is nice rather cloudy. We can have a picnic there! Want it." persuade Arga not to give up.
"But lazy brother Arga! Lazy change of clothes and lazy prepare her!" answer Nadine.
"How lazy is it? Pregnant women should actively move dong, walk out so that the baby in the stomach follow happy. If her mother had been quiet, her baby would have protested in there!" sahut Arga's.
"Truly said Arga, we go to the beach only! It's close from here. No need to change, no problem either. My sister is beautiful and wears anything. About food and others let Fio and Athena handle? Interested?" tymphal Arjuna's.
Seeing his two sisters-in-law pleading with a hearty look, made Nadine's heart melt in the end. Alright, this time Nadine will agree to their invitation.
There is nothing wrong with going to the beach for a while, maybe you can all enjoy the sunset. Nadine longed to see the sea. Instead of him waiting for Adrian who never had clarity, he better go with his sisters-in-law.
"Okay.i'm coming, '" replied Nadine.
"YESSS!!! WHOOOO!!!" yelled Arga and Arjuna together. So day after day failed to persuade Nadine, now they succeed too.
"Come, brother, we're ready now! I'll see the same sunset!" said Arga spirit.
But Nadine had not yet answered him, suddenly a baritone voice echoing from behind their conversation.
"Who allowed you to take Nadine away carelessly?"
That sound. The voice that made Nadine miss so much. Nadine had a very good memory of who was currently speaking.
The three immediately turned their bodies and turned to the source of the voice.
When turning around, the figure of Adrian who gallantly stood firmly using a shirt suit that buttons over it deliberately open, then a pair of pantofel shoes attached to his feet.
Nadine's smile spread wide. His sad and pale face was replaced with a happy facial expression, seeing the figure of a man he had missed in the last 3 days.
Adrian.
Yes, Adrian her husband was standing across the street, as if calling her to come and get closer.
