The Winter Promise

Chapter 110: Second Part Rescue Mission

“Where do you know that Mar?”

“Explain to him Mul.”

I told Maul to explain.

“I checked your father's phone and I saw there was a conversation between your father and someone who offered him a sizable sum of money on the condition that he had to hand over his sister Akbar to that person.”

Maul showed his father Akbar's conversation with someone to all of us.

We are currently on a rescue mission for his younger brother Akbar, who was kidnapped by his own father. Me, Maul, and Riki were at Akbar's house to discuss the rescue plan.

“Who is that person?”

Akbar began to look a little emotional hearing that someone was after his sister.

“I myself do not know because your father does not save the phone number of the person.”

There is one thing that makes me curious about this.

Why did he know that his father Akbar had a younger brother? Whether he had investigated it first or indeed the person who offered it was someone close to his father Akbar.

“I feel that the person is involved in human auction as well.”

“Why is it like Mar?”

Ask Riki.

“If not involved with the human auction, why would he buy his sister Akbar. By the way how much money does he offer?”

“He offered two hundred million rupiah to his father Akbar.”

I saw Akbar and Maul surprised to hear that.

“It was nominal that was too small to buy a human.”

“But the nominal is huge for people who have never had much money Mar.”

What Maul said is true. For people like his father Akbar who often asked for money to Akbar, surely it was a considerable amount. It also might blind his eyes until he dared to sell his own son.

“Then you must leave Mar! If you're late, my sister could not survive.”

Akbar's worry is growing.

“Better calm yourself first and we arrange the plan.”

Maul tries to calm Akbar down.

“How can I calm down when my sister is in danger.”

“You take it easy, I already know when your father handed your sister over to that person. And when viewed from the current hour, the time is still very long.”

Maul looked towards the wall clock that was there.

“Do you know where they will meet?”

“I already know Mar, it happens that the person sent his address also to his father Akbar.”

“Sgratitude.”

Then we still have a lot of time to think about what a good plan to run. I will think of the best and safest plan.

“So what will we do?”

Riki asked me.

“For now Akbar will come with Maul.”

I gave instructions to him.

“I plan to go to the police station to meet my father there. You can come with me Bar.”

Maul.

“Then if we are Mar?”

“You and I will go directly to their place of transaction.”

Because there's something I'm worried about from the information Maul has.

“I can't wait to see his father Akbar and beat him up.”

Riki clenched his hands and smashed them against each other.

“You must hold back your anger Rik, because what you did could have jeopardized the safety of his sister Akbar.”

“I will try to hold it.”

That's why I don't want to invite Akbar to come with me to the field. I'm not sure I can handle Riki if he acts as he pleases. What if Akbar did the same thing, especially the one who is currently the victim is his sister. Surely his emotions can get out of control if he sees his sister being harbored by that person.

“What police can come to the place of the transaction on time?”

“Of course, because the one holding this case is my father. Besides I'll be there and direct them to the right place.”

“Why did your father take over the case? Not that this area is not your father's area of duty.”

“Because this has something to do with human trafficking, maybe my father can find out a clue from this case.”

True too, if his father Maul can get a clue that helps him to solve this kidnapping case. I was very helped.

“Means that then our task only needs to buy time until the police come to the location of the transaction Rik.”

“Any Pak!”

“Bring this Mar.”

Maul gave me her phone.

“Is this the phone you modified back then?”

I looked at the phone Maul gave me carefully.

“Yes, the phone will lead you to where his father Akbar is and you can also listen to his father Akbar talk with that person if they make a call with their phone.”

“This is very helpful to me.”

I put the phone in my pocket.

“You don't have to worry Bar, we will definitely settle this and bring your sister back with spirit.”

Riki held onto Akbar's shoulder and encouraged him.

“Then the plan we start.”

Riki and I also split with Maul and Akbar because the place we are going is different.

I should at least warm up a bit for this because I will soon be doing something troublesome. I don't want any of my veins to be pulled when I'm in action later.

“Are we going directly to the transaction place Mar?”

“No, we go to this point first.”

I showed the phone Maul gave me. I was opening a map and there the map showed us a point we were going to.

“Why? Not that we already know where they will meet.”

“The meeting place could have been a trap or a cheat for us only.”

Because according to my analysis of the development of this kidnapping case. It was impossible for them to tell the location of their transaction directly like that. It was just like being suicidal. If the way they played before was like that. His father Maul should have no difficulty in quelling a case like this.

“Why is that so Mar?”

“You just think Rik, there can't be anyone doing human trafficking but sending such blatant messages.”

“Truely, I was also suspicious when Maul said that the person sent his location directly to his father Akbar.”

Hmmmm... If you know that, why should you ask me.

“I think that people who want to buy his sister Akbar are very vigilant and know that police members can hack their conversation.”

“Then, why didn't you explain it during the meeting Mar?”

“If I said everything during the meeting, Akbar could be anxious.”

“right also.”

“For now the lever we only meet with his father Akbar and follow him to get to the actual location.”

But how do we follow him if he leaves on a motorcycle?

“I can't believe a father would do that to his own son.”

Riki looked up at the sky and he kicked the pebbles we encountered on the road.

“You how else, if you've talked about money it's like that.”

“I remember what you said about the two scariest things in the world: money and love.”

“That's how, what I said back then was the result of my observations during this time.”

Because many human beings are easily controlled by money and love, they fear both things, even the greatest things like god they can still oppose.

If they say because God cannot be seen, love cannot be seen. And if they also say that God cannot be felt, they are the ones who have closed themselves to not feel it.

"What if Akbar's father leaves in a vehicle? It will be very troublesome for us considering we can not catch up with the vehicle also.”

That's what I was thinking about.

“Maybe be able to use ojek if it does happen.”

Because chasing the motor is easiest by using a motor.

“How much money should be paid for it?”

“We can talk about it later, the most important thing at this time is the safety of his sister Akbar.”

“I know that, but the problem is who wants to pay? I'm not bringing much money right now.”

Riki complained to me.

Besides, I also know that the money he has is not so much that he can pay the rate given by brother ojek if we follow his father Akbar with ojek.

“I'll pay for everything.”

“Tumben once you want to spend money on something like this.”

Riki was astonished to see me say that.

“I feel a little guilty in this matter.”

“Why?”

“This incident still has something to do with the input I gave to Akbar at that time, so I feel that I have to take responsibility for giving it input.”

Hearing that made Riki smile but said nothing. He was as happy as he had heard such a very happy news for him.

“Again, if I can return his brother Akbar safely and find out more about the sale of this man. I can help his father Maul a little in solving this case.”

We finally arrived at the bus stop and immediately boarded the bus that headed to Tanjung Priok. Because according to the point given by Maul, his father Akbar is currently in the Ampera area in North Jakarta.

“About what vehicle will he use to bring his dik to that transaction place huh?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“I'm just curious, because I don't think it's possible if he takes it by motor.”

“Could have him use the motor Rik.”

As long as his younger brother Akbar still does not realize that he is currently wanting to be sold and he does not rebel, I think his father Akbar can take him on a motorcycle.

 “Reason?”

“His sister Akbar is still too small and it seems that she does not know what problems her family is experiencing.”

“Where did you know it was Mar?”

“You just saw his attitude when we came to visit his house that time. He doesn't look like a little kid in trouble.”

Hearing that confused Riki, I don't think she understood what I just said to her.

“I don't understand you mean Mar? From where can we know a child who has a problem with that is not.”

“Although still a child, if he finds out that his family is having problems, usually his attitude will be different from other children. He will definitely tend to like to be alone, stay away from others, and do not like to interact. If yesterday we came to his house, he talked to us even though not often. And his gaze also does not look like a child who has a problem.”

I can tell that because I used to have a classmate like that.

“After you say it like that, true also yes.”

“I think Akbar hid all that from his sister so that his sister can grow like a child usually without thinking about the problems that occur in his family.”

“Iya, for a child of his age maybe it will interfere in getting along.”

“And now, I think his brother Akbar is being persuaded by his own father by being lured to something.”

Although Akbar said his sister had been treated harshly by his father, but I think it has been treated. Besides, I think his father was rude to his sister just once. If it has been frequent and cause trauma, his sister should not want to come with his father.

“Then we have to hurry Mar.”

“Just relax, wherever his father goes surely we can find him.”

I said while showing the phone that Maul gave me.

“Why can you be so sure?”

“The phone of his father Akbar is already in his grasp Maul, surely at this time Maul also still controls his father's phone Akbar. If he wants to turn off the signal or do something to make it untraceable. Surely Maul do prevention of it.”

That's why I had to take Maul on this mission.

“So far as the app Maul made it grow?”

“This application has been greatly developed when you left.”

“Then I don't need to worry.”

Riki relaxed his shoulders and relaxed a little.

Indeed that is necessary for now, do not let our energy is exhausted before we are involved in the main problem.

“Remember Rik! Never act alone no matter what happens later.”

I emphasized that again to Riki.

“Why are you always worried about that Mar? I won't do anything stupid anymore.”

“I'm a little hesitant about it.”

“Trust me just a little Mar!”

Riki begged me.

“Your atmosphere is sometimes unstable when you see something that can make you angry, and maybe you will see something like that when you are at the transaction location.”

Because my gut says so.

“What's that feeling too?”

“That's.”

“I will be more careful again and try to control it then.”

“Good then.”

After a long journey, we finally reached the area indicated by Maul through the application from his phone.

Now, it's time to find out where Akbar's father is right now.
