UPIK ABU & HANDSOME CEO

Into the Forest

Dimas immediately got off his bed and headed out. Farih who heard Dimas's earlier screams woke up and left her room.

He was quite surprised to find Dimas who wanted to leave the house, because the current clock shows at 02.00 pm.

"Dimas wants to see you do these nights?" tanya Farih held back the door that Dimas wanted to open.

"I want to find Tiara."

"Don't crazy D, what time are you looking at this?"

"I'm not crazy, you're crazy how can you sleep peacefully while Tiara's out there. I don't even know what his condition is. Whether the kidnapper treated him well or tortured him. You don't know how I feel right now. My wife is missing and she's pregnant. What should I do now, tell me what should I do?!!!!" yelled Dimas annoyed.

Farih was silent for a moment, knowing that Dimas loved his sister very much, but Dimas also needed to maintain the condition of his body. Moreover, Dimas looked pale at the moment.

"Dim, I also love my sister and worry about her condition. But you also need to take care of your health. What if something happens to you, what should I tell Tiara. Relax Dim, we'll find him later. It's still night, you rest again your body also needs rest. We'll find Tiara in the morning."

"But Farih, I can't sleep I'm worried about him. Help me Farih, bring him to me. I can't live without him. Please bring him to me" Pinta Dimas in a raucous voice. He could no longer hold back his tears. He misses his little wife.

"Calm down Dim, we'll definitely find his whereabouts. I've spread our men in this town. And police are also guarding every border there is. That person will not be able to get out of this city. This is a small town."

Dimas initially refused Farih's request to return to rest, but Farih did not give up and continued to give understanding to Dimas. Dimas followed Farih's advice and went back to sleep in his room.

**************

Not feeling the morning. Dimas and Farih gathered every piece of information they got from his men.

"We've been through every town that's here, sir, but we haven't even found a trace of Miss Tiara's whereabouts. Is it possible that Non Tiara has been taken out of this city."

"No it's impossible, because at the time the criminal ran away from surveillance, the police immediately deployed its members to guard every border of this city" Farih said.

"My feeling is that he is still in town" Dimas said.

"Honey, where are you right now?" muttering Dimas while scooping his face, he felt frustrated for several days looking for Tiara to no avail. It was as if the path they had been following all along was a dead end.

"Try to get a map of the city." asked Dimas.one of his men then took a paper roll and sloped it on the table.

Dimas looked at the map of the city area and marked every region they had explored.

"All cities have been explored, but look at this region!! Have you checked the area?" ask Dimas.

"That area is a forbidden forest. When we wanted to try to enter the area a village chief and also the people who happened to be around there strictly forbade us to enter the forest area because the forest was notoriously haunted and dangerous sir."

"The forest is notoriously haunted and also takes a lot of casualties. Every person who enters the region never returns. Even if they return, they're dead bodies in terrible condition."

"At the time when we were there, it happened that the people guarding the forest found an unidentified corpse in a position hanging on a tree with the roots of a tree wrapped around its body. The condition of the victim is really very terrible Mr" explained Dimas' men.

"What do you think Dim" asked Farih.

"I will try to enter this forest area, this forest looks suspicious" said Dimas while marking the forest area with a pen that he holds today.

"I will enter the territory myself, you try to divert their attention later. Besides we don't know the real contents of the forest, so let me do it myself." Dimas said for sure.

"No Dim, I disagree. The forest is too dangerous. If you want to go in there let me accompany you" refused Farih.

"No, you're needed here, what if there's news of Tiara. Who would lead these people to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Tiara."

"But Dim...,"

"Trust me Farih, I will take good care of myself. I wouldn't be willing to die if I hadn't been able to see him and found out he was okay."

"I trust you, don't let us down Dim." Farih patted Dimas' shoulder slowly. They try to strengthen each other.

"Thank you Farih."

"I'm your sister-in-law, you haven't even called me Brother" Farih complained.

"You're this, call just like that you're making a fuss, aren't we the same age. Well, I promise I'll call you big brother once we find Tiara."

"Good and I hope it's soon."

Eventually Farih and Dimas devised a strategy to trick the village chief and the villagers who were guarding the forest. Dimas also prepared a backpack, various sharp weapons and food as supplies he entered the area.

Luckily Dimas had previously lived in the forest for a month. When he climbed the mountain with his college friends first. So little did he know how to survive in the forest.

Dimas knows a lot of poisonous plants and plants that can be consumed. His knowledge to survive in the forest by using the resources in the forest should be thumbs up.

If you think about how the men of Tedi get in and out of the forest without being known by the citizens. That's because they have secret access that is not known by the citizens. They called it the rat road. Access roads are hidden because it is covered with thickets that are quite high.

Dimas' men, passing through the people guarding the forest area. They deliberately want to distract the citizens who are in the guard post.

"Hi you guys stop!!!" residents shouted at the same time when they saw a group of people trying to enter their forbidden forest area.

Dimas's unwilling men stopped and walked on, forcing all the guards at the post to chase after them and stop them.

"Hi stop you!!! Are you deaf?" they shouted while chasing after Dimas' men who tried to enter.

Finally, a fight between them was inevitable. Because none of them would listen.

Dimas' men deliberately provoked the anger of the citizens so that they could divert attention and Dimas could enter the area secretly.

While they had a big fight, Dimas with the backpack on his back managed to enter the forest area secretly. He breathed a sigh of relief after successfully entering the territory.

"Wait for me baby, I'll pick you up" muttered Dimas excitedly, he stepped on his feet with determination.
