Elsewhere, in front of Syifa's house, Syifa and her friend Melly were at the same time in front of the gate.
They closed the gate with the help of security guards who stood guard at his house. "Be careful on the street young lady...!"
The two of them held hands as they walked out of the house.
Syifa continued to feel strange because she just kept seeing the face of Melly who looked very happy from earlier.
Even when the two of them were having dinner together at home, Melly already looked so excited as to have been looking forward to these moments.
"By the way Melly, why don't we just use the car anyway? It could be faster." Syifa felt confused because she saw Melly's strange attitude.
"Once upon a time walking is okay, we used to be this way too, right?"
"But that was before..."
"Don't you not miss me?" Say it quietly and slowly.
"Eh, I didn't mean that." Reply Syifa.
"Yes-yes, I know. Then let's go through the shortcut, let's get there faster" said Melly, and they continued to walk somewhere.
"Ah, alright-" Syifa wanted to obey her words, but she remembered something. "Hhh wait a minute! Aren't you memorizing the streets here?"
To answer his words, Melly immediately took out a piece of paper. "That's why I brought this." There is a clear picture of the map that leads to his destination, the restaurant owned by his parents Syifa.
"E-uh... I think we're gonna get lost..."
***
It had been ten minutes, but it seemed that the two of them were still on the side of the road.
It seems like they actually went through a shortcut drawn on the paper.
The road they passed by was so quiet that they rarely encountered people passing through the alley.
The road is so narrow, dark, and hot. That's what Syifa said when she was in that place.
For a moment Syifa became frightened when she saw Melly smiling herself while walking with her.
Melly seemed so excited for tonight that she couldn't control her expression. "Hehe... Daffa, I'm counting on you." Melly murmured in her heart.
"M-melly... You're freaking me out!" Say Syifa with her pouting facial expression.
"Hmm? Ah, sorry I'm too happy" Melly replied as she turned to Syifa.
"I know you're too happy, but don't smile like that in the middle of this dark path" Syifa said, apparently still terrified.
"Don't be afraid Syifa, I'll be by your side,"
"Eh... Yes, yes."
The two of them finally reached the end of the alley.
After coming out of the alley so dark, they saw a light that illuminated the road where there were some people who might have gone home from work.
Syifa felt very relieved about it, she immediately sighed when she saw a brighter light.
But it did not last long, everything was chaotic instantly because of the intense rain falling from the sky.
Although it was just a regular drizzle of rain, but it had made everyone scatter towards the direction of their respective home, from pedestrians to motorists and cars.
Syifa could only smile on the spot and see that everything was gone and that they were alone.
"What I said, mending was just using a car, deh," said Syifa who was desperate.
Melly suddenly pulls Syifa by the hand and takes her running with force. "If this is possible later even did not have time to meet your girlfriend, let's hurry we will run." Her speech.
"Eh-eh, wait a minute I'm not ready, and also she's not my boyfriend!" Shouted Syifa while running with her.
Syifa pulled out her phone in between her running. She was about to call Daffa if she would meet him in an impossible weather.
Melly, knowing about it, stopped Syifa from calling her. "Syifa, you just have to trust your boyfriend."
Syifa was listening to him as if she understood his point.
His face immediately flushed. "d-duh... I've told you many times that she's not my boyfriend!" Say it with a soft.
After a while they were constantly running at their usual speed, Melly seemed to turn her head to her left. "I don't think I'm late." He murmured in his heart.
Melly suddenly stopped in the middle of her journey without telling Syifa.
"Ouch!" Melly who suddenly stopped making her hand Syifa a little pain. "Why did it suddenly stop?"
Melly said she was in a situation she could no longer hold back. "I'm going to pee."
"Well?!" How is this going?" He said while holding his breath back.
Melly's hand pointed to her left and said, "That's over there there's a public toilet, how about we go there?"
While rearranging their breath, they seemed to walk towards the public toilet.
"All right, but don't take it long." Reply Syifa.
Melly went inside the door, and Syifa waited for her in front.
The sound of the rain water's whirring hardened every second, his heart felt very anxious every time he looked to the right-left.
Just in case at once to accompany him, Syifa took the initiative to pull out his phone.
He looked at the google map, it still takes about five minutes to reach the restaurant owned by his parents.
"Has Daffa arrived first?" Shifa muttered in her heart.
Syifa apparently wanted to contact Daffa through a chat message.
Because Syifa is too focused on her phone, she does not care about the small things around her.
Someone suddenly patted his arm from the front.
Syifa was very shocked, and which added to her fear again, she only realized that in front of her there were three unknown people.
However, Syifa still had time to touch the send button on his phone.
*Syifa forgot to turn down the volume of her phone.
"Hm?! What's that sound?" Said one of the men in front of Syifa.
The three of them were compactly wearing masks and hats to cover their faces. That's what makes Syifa confused when she wants to recognize him.
"W-who are the three of you?" Syifa asked with a sigh.
Melly listened to Syifa's voice as if she was being frightened outside. "Shyfa? Who are you talking to?"
"Is there someone inside?!" Fandi Gumam. "You two quickly tie him up!" Fandi Command.
Syifa who was listening to that, she immediately panicked and was terrified.
Syifa also threw her hand at them, but it was in vain because it was easily overcome by Fandi. "Eh?! W-what do you guys want to do to me?! No. gabe... No...! Don't do that to me!"
Fundi and Fendi tied Syifa's hands together with a rope and were helped by Fandi holding her back.
"HELP ME!!" Shouted Syifa very loudly.
*BRAKE!!
Suddenly appeared Melly from behind the door, her right hand was ready to hit.
Which turns out he was after a Fandi who was in the middle.
*pow!
Melly's punch on Fandi. His punch vibrated the area around his cheek Fandi to make his hat and mask come off.
Fandi fell to the ground because he could not avoid the blow.
"He wasn't that guy?!" Syifa muttered that she was shocked to see their true identity.
Melly approached Syifa, she saw that her hands were tied tightly by a rope. "Syifa your hand...? are you okay?"
"Yes, take care of them first" replied Syifa as she sat on the ground.
"All right..." Reply Melly.
Melly stood up again, she prepared to attack again and now it was her friends' turn Fandi.
But strangely, Fundi and Fendi did not make the slightest movement from both sides.
"Well if you don't go forward, I'll go forward!"
Melly ran to one of the sides where Fendi was.
While seeing Melly in action, Syifa seemed to smile because her heart was now relieved. "Thank God... Thank goodness..."
But the smile did not last long, because Fandi who suddenly rose again.
Fandi passed his glance which then pushed Melly into the toilet. "Eh?"
"Brakk!" Melly fell on the floor.
"Mellyi...!" Shouting Syifa. Her body trembled, her eyes glazed over from seeing Melly being lunged at like that.
"Hey, you two! Why just shut up?!" Said Fandi who looked a bit angry.
"Sorry" Reply to both of them.
His gaze began to be empty, his face also looked hollow, and his mouth was now sounding silent. Syifa is in trouble with the situation.
All he knew was that he had been taken away by the three of them somewhere, tied up, and his mouth was covered with duct tape.
Seriate....
