The Young Master's Substitute

Search for missing persons

This morning, Mr. Bandi, seemed to still sip coffee on the front porch of his house. Since then, he has been reading newspapers. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on the beautiful figure that was inside a newspaper.

"Isn't this Mentari?" muttered Pak Bandi. Mr. Bandi has since been reading missing persons info. And he found a Mentari photo there.

"Lisa...! Lisa...!" yelling Mr. Bandi from outside his house. He called Lisa his son.

Moments later, Lisa came out and approached her father.

"Papa. What's up?" ask Lisa.

"Lisa's. Let's see this. This isn't the girl you brought into this house?" Mr. Bandi pointed towards the beautiful girl who was inside the newspaper.

Lisa took the newspaper from her father.

"Try here I see...!"

Lisa then read Mentari's name there and her features.

"Papa. Right, this is Mentari. It turns out that now, his parents are looking for his whereabouts," Lisa said.

"Lisa's. You have to take Mentari home, son. Poor his parents. Must have been since Mentari disappeared from their lives, they continue to worry about the existence of Mentari."

Lisa sat by her father's side.

"But Mentari hasn't come home to her parents Pa."

"Lisa's. You have to return Mentari to her parents. No matter what his current condition is, it is the parents who have an obligation to take care of him. Fadlan and you, it's just somebody else. You guys can help. But pity Mentari's parents. What if Papa is in the position of Mentari's parents. You ran away from home and didn't know where you were. Papa will definitely be very sad," said Mr. Bandi at length.

Lisa seemed to think. It was true what his father said.

"What Papa said. But I have to say Mas Fadlan was Pa."

"But you and Fadlan should take Mentari home. You must return Mentari to her parents' house and not hide her away."

Lisa nodded.

"Yes Pa. But please, for now, don't tell Mentari just yet. I'll talk about this with Mas Fadlan."

"Yes Lis."

Mr. Bandi stood up. After that, he stepped into his house. Lisa is still on the terrace.

Ring ring ring...

The sound of Fadlan's cell phone ringing, surprised Fadlan who was wearing clothes.

Fadlan hurriedly stepped onto his bed to retrieve his phone that was near the pillow.

"Hello..."

"Mas, where are you? you've gone to the hospital?"

"I'm changing my clothes. Just had a shower and left for work."

"Are you in the apartment?"

"No dear. I was at my parents' house. What was? tumben early in the morning gini already called."

"Mas, I have important news."

"What's the big news, baby?"

"Mas, this is about the Mentari."

"Why else with Mentari? he's safe, isn't he just like you? he doesn't want to do anything weird anymore, does he?"

"No. But Papa I read the newspaper, and in the missing person there is a photo of Mentari. There is also an address and number to call. Papa told me, we have to get Mentari back to his house."

"Oh, that's dear. Yes already. You keep the newspaper, baby. Later, we think together to take Mentari to his house. Let me talk later and persuade Mentari."

"Yes Mas. Later, after returning from the hospital, you went straight to my house. We talked about Mentari. It seems, the more days his mental condition has also improved."

"Yes, yeah. I'll arrange everything later. If so, I close it first love the phone. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alakiumsalam."

Arriving in the dining room, Fadlan sat mingling with his mother and father.

"Good morning Pa, Ma" said Fadlan after sitting down.

"Good morning, are you going to the hospital?" ask Miss Mona.

"Yes Ma" replied Fadlan briefly.

Fadlan then grabbed a glass of milk.

"This is for me Ma?" ask Fadlan.

"Yes. That's what Mama made for you" Mona said.

Mr. Fakih looked at Fadlan.

"Fadlane. Are you still a doctor in a hospital?" ask Mr. Fakih.

"Yes, it's Pa. Why would Papa ask me that's the same."

"Actually Papa doesn't like you to study medicine. Because Papa wants you to continue Papa's business to become a director at one of Papa's companies. I have no children but you."

"Pa, never mind, don't worry about that. If you retire, you can still find Papa's confidant to cultivate the company. Or, just wait a minute, if Lisa and I marry and have kids. Later I will love Papa a lot of grandchildren," said Fadlan.

Ms. Mona can only smile on her own.

"There are you Fadlan" said Mona.

"I'm serious, Ma. I already have such a plan."

"Still long Fadlan. Until your child grows up, Papa's age is also old. Not necessarily papa can see your son's big."

"Pa, don't talk like that. Who knows, God will give long life to Papa. We do not know the age of man. Let's just pray Pa. If not, then there is a lot of papa. Ask your father to continue Papa's business."

"Yes Fadlan. Now we eat yuk!" bring Mr. Fakih.

Fadlan nodded. After that, Fadlan, Pak Fakih, and Bu Mona ate together in the dining room.

"Papa knows, my dream is to become a doctor. And my goal has now been achieved. And I also have aspirations to set up my own hospital" Fadlan said on the sidelines.

"If it is, Mama agrees with Fadlan. My mom will always support you."

Fadlan smiled. After that, he returned to finish his meal.

After eating, Fadlan stood up. He then took his bag and car keys. Before leaving for work, Fadlan said goodbye to his parents. After that, he kissed his mother and father's hands.

"I go first Ma, Pa," said Fadlan.

"Be careful on the road, son."

"Yes Ma, Pa," said Fadlan.

Fadlan then stepped out of his house. After that, he headed to the garage to pick up his car.

Fadlan then slid away from his home. Before going to the hospital, Fadlan wanted to stop by Lisa's house first. He wanted to know if there was really news about missing people in the newspaper, as Lisa said.

Once at Lisa's house, Fadlan stops his car. He then got out of his car and stepped onto the front porch of Lisa's house.

Tok tok...

Fadlan knocks on Lisa's house after she gets in front of Lisa's house. A few moments later, Lisa opened the door to her home.

Lisa smiled at Fadlan.

"Mas Fadlan's. How come here?" ask Lisa.

"Start to where?"

"He's still in Mas's room. What's up?"

"You're sure that's in that newspaper, Mentari?"

"Yes. I'm sure Mas. Just wait here. I'll show you."
