"Eh. sir! This is how we seem to have been on the road for so long, the airport is still far away???"
Venus began to feel unsettled, the road through which it was very foreign. His hand began to look for his cellphone which he had stored in a state of inactivity in his handbag.
"Oh yes, this is close!" Answer the driver relaxed. "What time does it fly?"
Venus' hand trembled slightly pressing the power button on her phone. The phone that he bought himself because he felt it was not worth receiving the most expensive phone that the Ocean gave to him.
"Oh. that's 10 in the morning sir," his eyes glanced at the clock on his phone screen. His forehead was wrinkled because time had already shown past nine.
"It's too late sir, can you hunt sir?"
Although the voice of Venus was still calm, but her heart was already crying calling out the name of the Ocean. He knew he was in trouble now.
"Yes, I can't." Their gazes met each other in the rearview mirror. Venus grew more confident after staring into those eyes.
"Sir, can you stop at the nearest Circle-K? I'll buy some coffee first." Venus tried to make sense in order to get out of the car without having to jump or strangle the driver's neck from behind.
There was no answer, the car just continued to go at a speed that began to rise and enter the road that was like a hilly.
"Sir, please put me down!" The trembling voice of Venus blaring out an order.
Panic surrounds Venus at this time, her heart continues to offer prayers of salvation and protection. Regret overcame his consciousness. I just want to cry and scream the name of the ocean.
If you can hope for a miracle, Venus really hopes for a miracle where the Ocean suddenly appears as a hero to help her.
A thousand sorry words of Venus in his heart, he should have gone in a good way. Instead of running away like this, as a result his position was now insecure.
"Sam.. hiks..hiks.." Venus's strangulation was stuck in her neck.
"Sir, stop or I jump down!" Threaten Venus after gathering her courage.
"Sorry mom!"
Suddenly a hand smothered the mouth of Venus with a handkerchief from behind that made Venus immediately stiffened until not how long her consciousness disappeared. It's dark!

Today, Muthia is like a sick person who is treated unfairly without knowing what her fault is.
He was locked up in Robby's office after being deemed uncooperative. This morning, when he arrived at the office lobby, he was immediately dragged forcibly into Robby's room by the office security.
Muthia cheered up and immediately directed her gaze at the door when the sound of the door lock opened from outside.
"Sir Robby. i-"
He could see the tension and fear that melted into one on Muthia's face.
Robby lowered his head, his hands held both sides of the chair Muthia was sitting on and placed some of her body weight there.
"Are you sure you don't know where Miss Venus went?" He asked coldly with sharp eyes.
Muthia held her breath, Robby's face was too close in her eyes. He pulled his body back but blocked the seat back, his face he turned to the left, reluctant to look into the sharp eyes of the eagle.
"Sighs stupid!" Robby's angry reprimand looks at Muthia's tense face.
"Yeah..." Muthia exhaled with her chest up and down, her face feeling hot instantly from embarrassment.
"Sa-I really don't know, sir. Venus was not that open to me, I misunderstood. Indeed we are quite close, in Jakarta he did not have a close enough friend besides me but Venus is very closed, sir." Muthia said after finding her courage back. He himself was confused as to why he was being interrogated in this way.
"You're sure he has no acquaintance other than an office person or anything else possible?" Robby asked again, slightly pulling his body to stand tall and looming in front of Muthia.
"Related, sir. Venus has no friends other than children in the planning section. Especially after getting married to Sam sir, he was not interested in knowing anyone else." Muthia answered with great emphasis. Muthia wondered why she should be the prime suspect in the disappearance of Venus, even though after Venus gave birth to Alea, she had very rarely communicated with him because Venus never again came to the office. Meet the new three times, it was Muthia who came to the Ocean house.
Robby stroked the thin hair that filled his sturdy jaw, trying to digest Muthia's words.
"When was the last time you communicated?" Ask full of questions.
Muthia, who was asked, seemed to be trying to remember, "if not mistaken three or four days ago we exchanged messages, sir. But nothing important we talked about, the last time he asked if Mr. Sam was still in the office or not, then I said yes, already."
"Where's your phone?" Robby's hand is outstretched asking for Muthia's phone.
Muthia pulled herself up a little slanted into the chair, hiding her phone in the back pocket of her pants. For Muthia, the phone was a very private item, a kind of aurat for women so it should not be just any man who touched it let alone open it.
"This or I take it myself!" Robby was getting impatient.
"What do you want my phone for? This is privacy, sir." Reject Muthia is still reluctant to give her phone. Mampuslah himself if until Robby read the contents of his chat with Venus so far, one of the main themes in their chat history is this stiff man.
"Why? You scared?" Robby's eyes are squeaking. "I don't care about the collection of perverted images or videos on your phone, I just want to know what you've been talking about all this time."
"Wohoooo..." Muthia was amazed to round her lips. He really did not expect that the contents of the head of a stiff man who had been known as a shadow of the leader of the company where he worked.
"Sorry, dear Mr Robby! I'm not a spinster who likes to channel desire with disgusting things like you're accusing." His impression was getting frontal then squinting eyes staring at the cold face that was in front of him.
"Don't the father's cell phone that contains a collection b*to all, most men mah so, let alone-" Muthia deliberately hung her sentence.
"What?" Although his heart was hotly accused of being a no-no by Muthia but he was also curious about what Muthia wanted to say next about him. Only this time did anyone dare to look at him in front of his face. His body lowered back, closing Muthia.
Muthia smiled obliquely, similar an understatement smile. "Especially the father is a lonely weathered bujang who has no female friends, besides where there are normal women who want to be close to the father, who there is all blur!" He said in a light tone right in Robby's ear.
