Lisa POVS.
I opened my eyes, a pitch-black look filled my eyes. I can't see anything. There was no light or light illuminating this place. It makes it harder to know where I am now.
"Gram!!" my ringis when I want to move my body. I felt pain in my back, like pain from a collision. But I still try to move. Forced to stand up and felt with my hand to recognize this blackened room.
My hands moved slowly down the wall of this room. Until finally my leg hit something and it made my knee throb, it hurt so much. But my hand still touched the thing I hit, it turned out to be a chair.
Then I continued my search of the wall, hoping to find a door. Where that door can take me out of this increasingly dark room.
Suddenly, a light came in from behind me. Makes me turn my head immediately and blink my eyes many times, glare due to the beam of light.
"Aware?" greeting a man. Yes, it was indeed the baritone voice of a man I felt I had once recognized.
I blinked my eyes once more, hoping to clearly see the figure of the man standing in the middle of the doorway. As a result of the light shining behind him, I still could not recognize who that man was. I intentionally did not answer his question. Wh-wh-what for?
The man slowly moved closer to me. Then it touched my chin, forcing me to look at his face. Only then would I be able to see with detachment if that man was Dana. Breng*sek man who has made my life more miserable.
"God! You think you can get away with that from my hands? Don't expect yes. Our deal is not done!!" his bluff while slightly throwing away my face, released his hand from the tip of my chin.
I can only hold back my anger, because I don't want this man doing anything less to me right now. My knees were limp, my body collapsing to the floor. Sitting on the cold floor. I just realized, if I haven't eaten anything, drink it too. Maybe I've been in this place all day. Caged like an animal. And that made Dana laugh out loud.
Now he lowered his body, aligned with my body, crouched down while still watching me. I could only duck, staring at my knees while occasionally glancing at him. With both of my hands now pressing on my stomach, hoping to relieve the pain of hunger and thirst.
"Want to eat? Or want to drink tequila? Like our time in bali ...," he said again accompanied by oddity. His fingers grabbed my hair and slipped it behind my ears. Honestly when I heard the sentence he just said, I was immediately scared.
The flashback of all the events that happened a few months ago when I was on vacation in Bali came back to my mind. The stupidity and greed that arose in my soul, really darkened my eyes. Because not only Alex's jealousy triggered my steps to do that, but also the perfection of my best friend's life.
He always got what he wanted so easily. Perhaps, just by flicking his finger, all those desires would be granted. While me?? I have to fight, work hard to get everything. Even Om Reza, who holds the assets of my late parents, has to be kind to me. Seizing all assets giving Tika papah. Until I had to follow his will to study abroad.
I envy the life of Tika who has a treasure and is able to make her queen. But why does he keep acting so ordinary? It was as if he was the son of a simple family. I also envy people who love him. Love him sincerely without looking at anything. Even when I found out, Alex used to love it. Alex asked her to be his girlfriend.
No tears fell back down my cheek and landed on my lap. Am I wrong if I want to be like her?
"Hey hey, why cry?" dana's reprimand spread a flash of my memory, with her dirty fingers she cupped her palms to my cheeks and brought my face to look at her. I've run out of energy at this time, even to just pull his hand away, I'm no longer able.
"OK okay, I'll give you a bite to eat, but you must obey, do not be a bad woman who is not obedient. Yea?" slowly while wiping away my tears. Then he picked me up and took me out of the room. Throwing out a bright light that really blinds my eyes.
Several times I blinked until Dana finally took me into the main house that looks simple, then dropped me on a chair at the kitchen table directly opposite the kitchen set. He swiftly picked up a box of juice from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass and placed the glass in front of me.
For a while I just took the glass, but not for me to drink directly, but just hold it. "It's up to you not to believe." He turned around and opened a corner of the closet around him. Take a few eggs, two packs of instant noodles and a small pot. Looks like to revus that instant noodle.
"I just have this here. If you recite, I'll order you a better meal" he said looking at me and began cooking before my eyes. "Again, if I order food outside, you don't necessarily want to eat. Because you're afraid I'm your poisonin. Aye right?" guess again.
May honest? Yes I was afraid of that. But why is he being nice to me now?

Jefri POV's.
My body collapsed instantly, limp to the floor if I recall the last morning I left my wife in this house. I lowered my head, slipped it between my legs and grabbed my own hair.
Again I was careless and always put his life at risk and this time I even risked the lives of his best friend and my own father-in-law. As a husband I feel like I failed to protect her at this time. I no longer know what to do and where to look for them.
I was long enough to drown in my sadness. Tears that I deliberately endured, from now on can no longer be contained until finally dripping wet my cheeks. I ignored Bi Mince who tried to calm me down and pat me on the shoulder. I was shameless to cry in front of him. I don't care if bi Mince thinks of me as a weak husband. Because Tika is my only weakness and also the source of my strength.
It might have been hours until I finally cried to Bi Mince. Suddenly the sound of the car door rang. I looked at my sobs and turned, it was Max who came. Max asked me with a high tone. "What do you mean Tika lost?!"
With the stammer I explained everything, starting from Alex's phone saying that Lisa disappeared and he called Tika, intending to ask where Lisa is. Unfortunately, Tika could not be contacted. Then I rushed to the house looking for Tika and did not find her sister and her mother.
"What the hell are you? I told you, I can't keep telling my men to take care of Tika, they have to do our project. And I'm not a great mafia like in the stories of novels that rule the world and can be arbitrary. And you know that." Max snorted in annoyance and then raised his fists restrained in front of his body while kicking his right leg into the air.
I realized, she must be really upset with me, maybe even angry. I bowed my head again, looking at my hands that were the support of my body. Bi Mince was already standing when he saw Max entering the front door. Then a little while later I heard Max's voice calling someone asking him to look for Tika and my mother-in-law.
I looked at him, and tried to stand up and sit on the sofa in the television room. I realized I could do nothing, I had no men or confidants willing to sacrifice their lives to help me, to help find my own wife. Even I can't protect my future baby either. I lamented my fate of being too weak helpless.
"Sorry, it's been rough. I'm laughing emotionally. I still feel Tika is my responsibility, even though you are sudsh in my place," said Max who then sat beside me, patting me on the shoulder.
"He's my responsibility, but I can't do anything about it. I don't have people like you. Even I can't trace its whereabouts if the hape is not as active as this." I seem resigned. But I also understand the regret Max feels.
"If Tika really disappeared because of Dana, I myself will come to her. Even if it means having me go to his villa," I said, looking at Max.
"Necessary. Don't mess up your hands just because of the guy. You still have to take care of your children, until they are born. Remnants, let it be my business." Max patted me on the shoulder again and the phone rang again.
Max stood up from his seat and then moved away to rule the phone. I grabbed my phone and pressed Alex's number. Asking him to come to me here soon. Waiting for news from Max's men.
