When Love Teases

97. Search Traces

Air ambulance sirens roared on the streets of the capital in the early hours of today. The highway is quite quiet when some of its residents are in the middle of a quiet. The car that escorts behind the ambulance is no less speeding driven by Doni, the driver of the Krishna family.

There was a puput in the car who was escorting the ambulance, along with Cia and Mami. Damar, who was previously in a hospital in the Tangerang region, will be transferred to the Adyatama family-owned hospital in Jakarta to get the best treatment.

It should be tonight, Puput wearing maroon lingerie as Rama asked when he would take off from John F Kennedy airport, New York. Should be tonight, he was in the contest, together to let go of the longing with the husband. But reality did not match expectations. Papi's men reported that her husband had lost his tracks in the terminal 3 parking lot of Soekarno Hatta airport.

Puput recalled how panicked Mami was when she was told about the accident on the toll road. Together with Papi Krishna, then followed to the Tangerang hospital. Seeing the condition of Cia who had died after fainting due to the influence of drugs, her in-laws breathed a sigh of relief. Damar, who remained conscious, was diagnosed with a cerebral hemorrhage and needed intensive treatment.

Puput staring at room chat Rama. Where at 6 more than 15 minutes this afternoon, her husband was miss called twice. Followed by the message, "Honey, I'm at the pickup point. Where are you, honey?"

But the message was only 15 minutes later he read it. And when the phone came back, Rama's phone was not active.

Is this a coincidence or not. Plans to pick up Rama are hampered by the tragedy on the toll. Then her husband went missing without any news. At first I had a positive thought if Rama might just go home using an online taxi. But at 2 am today, there is no good news from home. Even from Papi's man who still lives at the airport.

"Snakes, calm down! Papi will definitely give us good news." Mami rubbed the shoulders of the Sailor sitting in front, next to the driver. While he continued to embrace Cia who was still shocked by the state of Damar.

His back was accompanied by a nod and a faint smile. "Yes, Mi." He was trying to be calm and firm, positive thinking accompanied by do'a. She knows, actually Mami is also strengthening herself to calm down and think positive. Can be caught how the anxious look of a mother despite trying to hide.

Arriving at the intended hospital, Damar immediately get super intensive care. Cia chose to accompany Damar in the hospital with his two parents who had just arrived. While Puput and Mami choose to go home. Hope anxiously waiting for news from Papi who is somehow where it is now.

Entering the room, Puput leaned back on the door that had been locked. The head looked up with eyes closed. Right now, his brain is not thinking clearly. The incident this afternoon was still reflected in the eye. Grateful to have martial arts so as to avoid crime. But what exactly is the incarcerator? The mob? Or disbelieved? Until it must paralyze Damar and Cia. Why could it be with Rama who is lost without news? The stomach is weak. His brain is completely dead.

...****...

At 8am, an officer from the police came to the house. The puput sits with a lethargic face and panda eyes because until dawn it cannot close the eyes. Accompanied by Papi Krishna who had just arrived at the house early in the morning and also Mami Ratna, he was asked as a witness. Answer all questions investigators have.

"Sir, please dismiss the case immediately!" Krisna said as the three officers were about to leave. They nodded and answered for sure. Police have conducted TKP in the toll area. Damar's Fortuner car was towed to the police station as evidence.

The atmosphere of the house is tense. The whole house feels restless can not sleep, not good to eat, waiting for the certainty of the people who are investigating Krishna. Krisna has not been able to report the loss of Rama to the police because he had to wait 1 x 24 hours after being declared missing. So that he moves himself to mobilize trusted people.

"Pi, how are you from Johan?" Ratna looked at her husband who was busy with chatter on his mobile phone, standing back and forth unable to keep still.

"Wait for Johan again on the road. He just got airport cctv footage." Krisna turned to look at Puput who was sitting at the end of the sofa. Seeing his son-in-law was staring blankly at the television screen that reported the TKP incident on the toll yesterday afternoon.

Two hours later, Johan's assistant comes face to face. He played airport surveillance footage on smart tv. The footage starts from the moment Rama walks pulling the suitcase up to standing in the pick-up room and attaches the phone to the ear.

"That's when Aa called me, Pi." The eavesdropping sounds when matching the clock shown on the cctv screen.

Papi and the others were bearded.

"Johan, that's like an office driver's uniform?!" Chris looked at his assistant.

"The uniform is right, sir. But the guy's not. I've matched it to the company database.

"Oh God! Then my son was kidnapped?!" Hysterical mom. The puput who was also shocked, hugged his in-laws. He is strong, able to withstand crying even though his heart is sad.

Furthermore, the last recording in front of the parking lot could not reach the position of Rama and a uniformed driver who walked away to the car who was out of position.

Papi took his wife and daughter-in-law. Shrugging both shoulders. "Mami and Puput are calm, Papi will find Rama and find the perpetrators of the attack Damar and Cia. Never leave the house!"

Krishna went with Johan. Get in his car with a heavy sigh. The car the assistant was driving drove out the gate. Johan knows where to go. There is a curiosity that his boss wants to complete.

"I'm off guard, Johan. Kirain the situation is conducive." Krishna rubbed a rough face. She has stopped escorting her children after being felt for a month in a safe and secure atmosphere.

Johan quiet. He became a listener of the boss who was complaining of regret.

The half-hour trip arrived at the Adyatama Group warehousing area. The arrival of the car was greeted by two security officers and immediately closed the rolling door meeting. Not just any employee can enter that special area.

The room from the outside as if the warehouse, it turns out in it is a clean and comfortable meeting room. There was already one man sitting on a chair with his hands tied, mouth smothered, eyes covered in cloth.

"Open!" One word, Krishna gave the order and sat in his great chair with a flat face.

As soon as the hand ties, mouth duct tape, and blindfolds were opened, the young man was shocked with wide-eyed eyes. "Omm Krishna?!"

Krishna did not answer. His eyes probed into the netra of Cia's former fiancee's young man.

"Om why is this the same as me?" Adit was about to stand close, but his shoulder was held by two men who escorted him.

"Om used to be sweatin. Don't ever come near Cia again, if you violate the consequences." Krishna stared flat.

Adit. "I obey Om's warning. Although I honestly would love to be given a second chance, but I know myself. I realized my mistake was fatal. I never approached Cia even though I'd seen her at the mall with aunt Ratna."

"Don't lie!" Sarcas Krishna. "Have you read the news today about the accident that hit Cia and Damar?"

Adit looked a shocked face. "I mean Om, what?"

With a head gesture, Krisna had Johan show Adit a video of the news that was going viral today.

"For God's sake, Om. I don't know shit. I'm still sane. Not doing that kind of criminal act."

Krisna who continued to stare sharply, judging the young man in front of her was not lying. He fishing again with the threat will be able to fire his parents Adit who is a lecturer if still not confessed. But Adit Keukeuh does not know knowing.

Krishna took a long breath. "All right, Om believe it this time. You can go home and you have to shut up about this interrogation!"

Adit had to resign himself to be tied up again, smothered again by the mouth, and closed again. His protest was responded to by explanation if he should not know the location where he was held.

...***...

After two days of treatment, Damar was allowed to go home. Just stay in control the next week. But different circumstances, after two days of rolling time, the search for Rama has not found a bright spot. Independent search, or police.

In an apartment unit, a handsome, well-built man is tidy in a suit. Preparing to leave for the office waiting for his assistant to come pick up.

"You'd be surprised by the news I brought, Boss." Leo, the newly arrived assistant smiled mysteriously. Making Akbar flap his legs but Leo managed to dodge accompanied by laughter.

"Damn it! I have never liked the story of being hanged. Direct story!" Akbar snorted annoyed with the habits of his friend and assistant.

Makes Leo laugh crisply and contentedly. He immediately pulled the file out of his briefcase. "Information about Princess Kirana." he said, raising one eyebrow.

Akbar stopped brewing coffee that had been scratched into a glass. More interested in the morning news about the woman who managed to make him sleep uneasy.

"She's a 25-year-old Sundanese woman from Ciamis. Newly married--" Leo hung up the greeting and saw Akbar's reaction which glared at the eyes then rubbed the rough face.

"Next no, boss!" Leo smiled smirk teasing Akbar whose spirit turned stifled as if crackers were exposed to water.

"Next!"

Leo nodded. "Wed married two months less. And.the name of her husband will make you have a heart attack. So, read it yourself!" he dropped the information file on Akbar's hand.

Without waiting, Akbar opened the file full of curiosity. Her eyes glared sharply as she read the name of Princess Kirana's husband and her parents' data.

"God! The world is so narrow. Rama---" Akbar leaned back with a lunglai.

"And you have to read the news that's going viral now!" Leo hands over the tab with a news link already displayed on the screen.

"What's? Rama was allegedly kidnapped?!" Akbar got up from his seat. He was shocked for the umpteenth time by the surprise of this morning.

"Leo, let's go to Krishna's house now! Meeting in the afternoon!"

Leo drove a car through the streets of the capital. Although Akbar repeatedly asked for speed, he considered the wind last. How can speed in this working hour, crowded streets creep. The normal 30-minute trip was turned into 50 minutes, only to arrive in front of the high gate of a luxurious house.

"I want to meet Mr. Krishna's family. I'm his relative." Akbar reported to the guard who approached the car. And the security officer asked for his identity and checked into the car by looking at the glass of the opened car.

"Sorry, Sir. Your name is not on the family list. I can't open the gate." The guard only performs the task he carries. Must be selective and strict especially with the current calamity that is happening to the employer.

Akbar snorted in annoyance. Rama's number is inactive. He has no contact number for Krisna. Asking the guards to inform her arrival to Krishna, she was refused with a sledgehammer.

Tin.

The sound of a car horn in the back, making Akbar and Leo simultaneously stare at the rearview mirror. The car with the Z plate seemed to be about to go inside.

"Sorry, Sir. The car's in the way." Still politely, the guard asked Akbar's car to back off.

Instead of retreating, Akbar went down and approached the civic sedan behind him. Who knows if there is anything known.

The civic driver got out.

"Mas Akbar, isn't it?!"

"Panner, right?!

The two pointed fingers at each other with narrowed eyes. Then the two hugged each other and asked.

"Chat the length later. Please I want to get in from earlier can't." Pinta Akbar's. Who gets the piety of the Panji.

"Sir, she's from Om Krishna's family. Long time in Singapore. You can come in!" The pennant convinced the guard.

Eventually Akbar's car was able to get inside the gate. Parking side by side with a car driven by Panji in the yard that can accommodate up to 10 four-wheeled vehicles.

Akbar and Leo greet the people who get out of the car with Panji.

"Not remember? This is Enin, this is Mommy. If this is Rama's mother-in-law." The banner introduces one by one.
