The Temptation of the Former

Bidding

Malik memorizes his parents who are now enjoying their breakfast, Malik a little surprised because his mother and father were so neat this morning. Now Malik is sitting on the dining table chair with his parents.

"Morning tumben is neat, where are you going, pa? malik asked while putting a piece of sandwich on his plate.

"Oh yes mama forgot to say the same to you, this morning there was a meeting of our extended family with the family of Vita would-be wife Johan," Selfi told Malik.

Malik who was about to devour his sandwich is now still fixated, and put the sandwich back on the plate.

"Family meeting to discuss kak Johan's pertunagan?" ask Malik to make sure.

"No, more precisely talking about marriage, papa does not know also why the marriage Johan accelerated," said papa Malik.

Malik just kept quiet, without commenting any more, he went back to eating his sandwich until it ran out and drank his juice in a hurry. When he finished, Malik stood up from his position, making his parents look up to see him.

"I went to the office first" Malik said, shaking his parents' hands in turn.

"You don't want to come, to the family meeting?" ask Selfi.

"Mama and papa, I'm busy" Malik said and walked away.

Upon entering the finance department room, Malik looked at Jihan's desk, which still looked empty. He worries about Jihan more, especially when Johan says that Jihan just disappeared.

"Malik," reprimanded Jenny Opening Malik aghast in shock.

"What?" ask Malik.

"Do you know why Jihan didn't go to work, or do you know where she lives now. Sir I asked him since yesterday, I was worried about him too" Jenny said.

"I don't know either, but I'll find out, you don't have to worry" Malik told Jenny.

"All right, I'm waiting to hear from you" Jenny said, then returned to her desk.

Malik walked to his desk, sitting in his chair, resuscitating himself on the back of the chair. He thought about where Jihan was. He remembers Johan saying he had searched for Jihan everywhere but had not found her.

Jihan must be somewhere on this earth, she can't just disappear. Malik suddenly straightened his position, remembering something.

Malik recalled, Jihan once told the name of the mountain in his village. Malik tried to remember the name of the mountain, after thinking hard, Malik finally remembered the name of the mountain. Directly he searched on the Web the name of the mountain and the location of the mountain It was located, it did not take long the search results came out.

A wide smile emanated from Malik's face. Somehow he was very sure if Jihan must be in his hometown. He plans to leave tomorrow, due for a holiday tomorrow.

Malik goes to see Jihan without any intention. He only worried about Jihan, even though he had been explicitly rejected, but Malik was still very worried about Jihan.

Toni Alexsander and his wife, sister, and sister-in-law are now sitting on the living room couch of the Irawan family residence. Not too crowded just the nuclear family was present, even Vita and Johan were not there.

This family gathering, calmer than the previous meeting, no more tense faces were implied. Benny Irawan father Vita and Toni Alexander father Johan, in the end agreed that the marriage will be carried out in one week.

A smile emanated from Vita's face peeking at the meeting from upstairs. Yes Vita since morning has been at home to two parents, not to join but just to make sure if the meeting goes smoothly.

Contrary to Vita's face at this time, Johan who was already in the office could only sit leaning on his big chair. The Raksa who was sitting in front of Johan, noticed Johan who occasionally breathed his heavy breath.

"Have you heard from Jihan?" tanya Raksa hesitated.

"Master" said Raksa.

"hm" replied Johan briefly.

" Have you seen the CCTV footage of the apartment building?" tanya Raksa hesitated.

Hearing that, Johan immediately opened his eyes and straightened his position, he looked at the Raksa sharply, making the Raksa aghast shocked to see the expression, Johan's face.

"You're right, why don't I think about it" said Johan, who seemed very enthusiastic.

"Then we leave now" said Johan who had stood up from his position.

"Where to?" asked Raksa hesitantly.

"Of course, to the apartment building, where else!" johan was upset.

"But sir, soon we will be close" said Raksa with a timid expression.

"Cancel!" Johan.

"Ba-good sir," said Raksa terbatabata.

Johan and Raksa left the room. Johan walked so fast that Raksa could not keep up with Johan's footsteps, sometimes he ran agat not far behind Johan.

Arriving at the Apartment building, Johan and Raksa walked to the apartment security center room. Johan hopes he can find Jihan. This is Johan's last hope.

Security center room.

One of the building's security officers was checking the data on the date on which Jihan left. There are a lot of video files with a long enough duration, so it takes a little time to search for footage that shows Jihan at dawn.

Johan who was behind the security guard, did not stop talking, Raksa to pat the eel saw the impatient boss.

After a while of waiting in impatience, the building security officers found CCTV footage, in the courtyard of the building where Jihan was.

In the CCTV footage, a black car is seen waiting in the courtyard of the building, shortly after, Jihan appeared with a large suitcase.

Johan's face seemed very serious about watching the computer screen, to the point, " pause the video!"

The security guard, immediately in the CCTV footage where the license plate was seen, "Raksa, take note of the license plate and check, where the address of the owner of the car is.

"Okay, sir," Raksa said, then quickly recorded the license plate number.

Johan was so enthusiastic, to rediscover half his soul that went away. Johan did not want to lose Jihan for the umpteenth time, quite once he felt regret for spending a lot of time without Jihan in his days.

Johan no longer cares about the wedding that will soon be held. Johan and Raksa left the apartment building in a hurry because Raksa had just obtained the address of the owner of the four-wheeled vehicle carrying Jihan at dawn.

Along the way Johan's face looks increasingly tense, he can't wait to meet the car owner and ask where Jihan is now.
