Waiting for Tomorrow
Grey Morning
That morning as usual, after the dawn prayer, Bi Ginah went from her room to the kitchen to cook food for breakfast.
In his room, Mr. Teddy looks neat by wearing a white shirt, black trousers, black suit, and equipped with a tie patterned blue and silver stripes. The handsome-faced widower seemed to be combing his hair in front of the mirror inside his room.
After finishing combing his hair and spraying perfume on the clothes he was wearing, Mr. Teddy came out of his room with his black bag.
By the time Mr. Teddy reached the dining room, he did not see Yos in the dining room. All he saw was Bi Ginah sweeping the floor in the living room.
"Bi, Yos hasn't come down yet?" Ask Mr. Teddy.
"Not Sir!" The answer.
"Tumben once! Yos usually has breakfast first!" Exclaims.
"Yes Sir! Yos usually sits in the dining room first!" The reply.
"Try me to check in his room!" Exclaims. Teddy walked quickly to Yos' bedroom, which was on the second floor.
When Mr. Teddy arrived in front of his room Yos, he saw the door to Yos' bedroom open. Mr. Teddy immediately called his adopted son.
"Yes!!! You're not done getting dressed?" Her speech. But there was no reply from in Josh's room. Even in Josh's room there was no sound at all. The bedroom looked empty.
With the feeling of his heart that began to be unsettled, Mr. Teddy slowly opened the bedroom door Yos even wider. When he had opened the door completely, Mr. Teddy was shocked when he did not see the figure of Yos in his room. As both of his eyes looked towards the bed, he saw a slightly messy blanket. Then his two eyes looked at the other department. He saw the bathroom door in Josh's room, closed. The feeling of Mr. Teddy who had been feeling anxious, again felt a little more relieved. He called back to Josh.
"Yes!!! You take a shower again? You woke up bad luck, Yos?" Ask out loud. But after he waited for a while, there was absolutely no sound of answers from inside the bathroom. Even the sound of running water, was not heard in the slightest.
With his feelings back unsettled, Mr. Teddy walked quickly towards the bathroom door. With his courage, Mr. Teddy slowly opened the bathroom door.
When he found out the door was unlocked, Mr. Teddy's mind was already very unfazed. He opened the bathroom door wide. As his eyes looked towards the bathroom, he did not see Yos in it at all.
"Don't Josh run away to find his family!!!" Shouts in the heart.
Feeling very agitated, Mr. Teddy ran towards the wardrobe that was in Yos room. With a quick movement, Mr. Teddy opened the closet door.
When the two closet doors opened, Mr. Teddy was very surprised when he looked in the closet. Because, he saw the clothes of Yos in a state still intact.
Seeing all that, Mr. Teddy increasingly felt restless and anxious. He turned his back to look for something that could be used as a clue. When he had turned his body, Mr. Teddy saw a piece of paper that was on the nightstand in front of him. He hurried to get the paper containing the writing. Tensionally, Mr. Teddy slowly read the contents of the letter held using both hands.
...To Yth. Dear Mr Teddy Darmawan!...
...When you read this letter, you must be looking for your favorite child!...
...Now your son is on me! If you still want to see your son alive, come later at 21:00 AM local time, to Ciparay Street, Cikahuripan, Kadudampit, Kab. Sukabumi up! Bring money of Rp.100 million!...
...But remember! Don't you dare report to the police! If you break, don't expect tomorrow to see your son still breathing!...
...I'll wait until 12pm! If you don't come, tomorrow you'll see your son is a corpse!...

"Dammit!!! Devil curse!!! How dare He kidnap Yos!!! I will not let Josh suffer! Don't want to, I have to obey her will! Money matters can be sought again!" Mr. Teddy squeezed the paper he was holding. With the blood boiling, Mr. Teddy walked quickly to the front door of his house.
When he reached the living room, he again met Bi Ginah who was sweeping the floor.
"Mas Yos is not in his room, sir?" Bi Ginah looked worried.
"There is no Bi! Yos kidnapped!!!" Answer it loudly.
"Innalilahi wainailaihi roji! Oh God, have mercy on Josh!!! Protect Him from the wicked, O God!" Her speech.
"The kidnapper asked for it tonight I'll meet him in Sukabumi! He's asking for a ransom of 100 million, Bi! But if you want to see Yos well, He asks I can't involve this matter with the police!" The reply.
"Surely this door was opened, sir!" Bi Ginah held the front door of the house.
"Yos must have been kidnapped while everyone was asleep!" Mr. Teddy growled.
"Please save Mas Yos, sir! Poor that kid! When He could not remember about himself, He was now back in a state of disaster!" Pinta Bi Ginah with tears.
"Surely Bi! Yos I will save! Because Josh is like this, all because of me! The kidnapper thought Yos was my real son!" The reply.
"Pity of Josh! What a shame his fate! Rintih Bi Ginah's.
"Yes, I'm off to the office first, Bi!" Her speech.
"No breakfast first, sir?" Ask.
"No Bi! I have no appetite! Assalamu'alaikum!" Mr. Teddy walked to his car parked in the carport.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." The answer.
Meanwhile, in the empty house Yos was still unconscious. His body was limp helplessly. His face looks bruised in some parts. His eyes were still covered in a black cloth. He sat down with a wooden pole in the middle of the empty house. His hands were tied behind him using a rope. Both of his legs are in a straight forward position.
When the sunlight managed to penetrate through the ventilation holes and the hollow roof of the house, the light hit the body of Yos, whose head was drowned.
Gradually Yos' lips seemed to move, albeit very slowly. There were voices coming from Yos' mouth. When both of his eyelids were opened, all he saw was darkness. As his hands tried to hold the object that covered his eyes, Yos desire could not be accomplished. When he realized that his hands had been tied with a rope, with all his might Yos moved his hands to escape the rope in both hands.
"Dest damned satan!!! Who would dare to do this cowardly deed!!! If it's a man, face me as a man!!!" He screamed with all his might. But there was no reply sound at all. There is only silence.
Both Joseph's hands and body were constantly moved. But all his actions were in vain. All because the rope ties on his wrists are so strong to release.
"Based on a fucking wanker!!! Get out you demon curse!!!" Maki Yos with a loud. But as before, he only felt a silence in a place he did not yet know of. Yos recalled the incident when he woke up from his sleep and saw two mysterious people in his room.
