Is it possible that there are people who have never failed in their lives? Man is said to be strong not because he has never experienced failure, but is ready to rise when failure comes to him. Anyone can succeed, but not everyone can bear the pain of failure.

Adi took a deep breath under his study lamp that glowed bright white. He picked up the scattered paper from the fallen map, while also gathering his scattered spirit. His brain was strategizing, his mind was distant.

With a little rough, Adi put the file that felt important into the backpack. He walked out of his room after a long sigh. Some of his subordinates seemed to pay their respects and looked at Adi with concern. Everyone knows, Tarji is a very important colleague to Adi. It is natural to see Adi lose self-control when Tarji disappears and most likely in a condition of severe injuries.

No one can help Adi now. All can see and observe. Adi was only able to resign for the next few days as punishment for actions considered careless and negligent.

Adi drives his bike at high speed. People in the office think Adi will go straight home. But Adi has other plans. The motorbike he was driving pulled over on the front page of the homestay named Mbut Gawe.

Reconnaissance is Adi's specialty. Before becoming head of the unit, almost every day Adi got the task to conduct supervision, and investigation. Although this time is different, Adi watches over civilians on his own will not from the command of the leadership. It's dangerous for his career if his boss knows what he's working on right now.

Adi mingled with people. Sit in a coffee shop and order her favorite ginger wedang. Moreover, the night air is very frozen. Heci and tempe mendoan hot choice that feels right. That's when the phone in Adi's jacket pocket vibrated.

A voice message from Sinta. The beautiful woman's sweet voice asked if Adi had come home? Is the job good today? Or is there something Adi wants to tell her?

The message from Sinta made Adi smile for a moment. The woman was very attentive, even though Adi knew the flower shop that Sinta ran was bustling. Adi replies if all is well. She did not want Sinta to know about Tarji, nor her temporary release. Adi did not want Sinta to feel anxious and worried.

"The gas is really cute. Do you have a partner?" ask the mothers of the stall owners while thrusting ginger wedang disperse the reverie of Adi.

"Why Buk?" He asked back casually. Socializing and mingling with people is one of the tricks in reconnaissance.

"Yes I have a daughter, beautiful. Want to not know?" The owner of the shop raised one of his eyebrows. It looks ridiculous in front of Adi.

"Well, I believe in Buk. Ibuk is also very beautiful. Deserve her beautiful daughter," seduced Adi while sipping ginger wedang order.

"Nih see the picture," said Ibuk the owner of the shop shows a photo of the girl on his cellphone. It looks beautiful with its long black hair.

"Waahh if this is already a lot of people who ngincer Buk," continued Adi while laughing.

At that moment Adi saw the Inca figure walking out of the homestay Mbut Gawe. The woman was seen getting into a black car. From the sticker attached to the body, it looks like the car is a fleet of online transportation.

"Oh, sorry, we'll connect later. It's money to pay for the shit." Adi put down a piece of money fifty thousand and ignore the owner of the stall Ibuk who is still trying to tell the beauty of his daughter.

From a distance of several tens of meters, Adi turned off his motor. Immediately he pushed the motor into the riverbank bushes. Adi walked tiptoe while still watching the Inca get off the car. Although from a distance, it is clear that the Inca carried a dark-colored crackle bag.

The Inca is seen entering into an abandoned warehouse. While the car that Adi suspected as an online taxi was in fact still stopped with the door next to the passenger seat left open. Adi continued to move forward while still trying not to make the slightest sound.

Not long after the Inca came out of the warehouse. The plastic bag that had been lined up was no longer in his hands. The Inca got in the car. Adi immediately ducked on his stomach between the grass and the thickets of the river bank. The car drove back, roaring away from the suspicious abandoned warehouse.

After the departure of the Inca, Adi immediately jumped from his hiding place and walked quickly, prengginas but remained silent. He managed to reach the door of the warehouse without any difficulty. Adi keeps trying to keep focused and alert. Slowly he pushed the zinc door with some rust attached to the bottom.

Adi sneaked into the warehouse. He wondered what the Inca were doing in that place. The dim lighting makes Adi's sense of sight somewhat disturbed.

"Huh. Huuhh huuhh," a strange voice shocked Adi. He circulated his gaze, and finally found someone sitting in the middle seat of the room.

Slowly Adi approached, with his hands clenched tightly, he was ready to face anyone in front of him. And how surprised Adi when he realized the person sitting in the chair was Tarji.

Tarji looks drowned. His eyes were open but his gaze was blank, with a bandage covering his slightly dimly lit head. In front of Tarji, there are several types of food that seemed to be delivered by the Inca earlier.

Adi immediately scattered and hugged the weakly drooping Tarji. She almost cried seeing her co-worker suffering external injuries all over her body.

"Ji, let's get out of this place!" adi said as she untied the ties that shackled Tarji's feet. While Tarji's hand grasped a spoon with a mouth full of straws of rice.

No response from Tarji. The man's expression looked strange and dazed. Adi immediately embraces and slightly pulls Tarji's body to stand up and immediately drags a step leaving the room that feels stuffy.

While stepping, Adi scanned every corner of the empty and abandoned place. He did not find anything that could be a clue. The two of them finally made it out of the warehouse.

Right now Adi's priority is to save Tarji. His condition is really worrying. Wounds on the head are only treated and bandaged. Adi's heart was sore, his anger was in the crown. He swore inwardly, giving the Inca and whoever was behind it multiple replies to what had been done to Tarji.

Adi is well aware that revenge will not bring a solution. But when the closest person is harmed, it can even lose life, what kind of human being can calm down or forgive. He swore he would destroy his opponent.
