ALBRA
66. Alan is missing

Today is the fifth day of the Max family trip in Japan. On the fifth day, they set foot in Tokyo after flying from Osaka for about an hour and a half.

This time their inn was no longer a villa, but a hotel. Of course, the hotel that Albra ordered was very, very luxurious, already similar to his penthouse in Bali.

As usual, the finish from Qyen's trip could only rest. Taking a walk with another life in his body made Qyen feel tired quickly.

Alan came from the kitchen direction, and gave Qyen a box of packaged milk. “For Qyen,” said and sat next to Qyen.

“Thank you, sir.”

“You're hungry?”

Alan shook his head. “No, I've eaten a lot of chocolate on the plane.” Alan's whisper while brushing by exposing his toothless tooth.

Across them, there was Albra and Ian who were busy with their laptops, their faces looked very serious. Qyen had no idea what was going on, usually Albra would check his work only through tabs, but this time he told Ian to also open his laptop.

“Qyen, Papa and Ian are serious. I'm always pissed to see them.”

True indeed said Alan, if Albra and Ian had taken care of the work, his eyes would not turn to glance at anything else, even if there was an earthquake they would not rise, if the important work had not been resolved.

“Let them be busy with their world, how about we see the scenery in the room?”

Alan nodded, they joined hands to go to the main room because there was a very, very large glass there, and noticed the view of the streets in the crowded Shinjuku area, also seen thin snow flying.

They sat on a sofa, looking at the little people like miniatures busy with their own activities. It seems like the majority of them just finished coming home from work.

“Why do you want to go on vacation to Japan?” tanya Qyen started their conversation.

“Because I like, many toys,” replied the plain little boy.

Qyen chuckled at Alan's reply. “Qyen, it looks like the donut shop is very tasty.” Alan pointed to a donut shop that was currently visited by a lot of people in line. “What if we go down and buy donuts? I'd love to ..” Alan's wish turned into a whimper at the moment.

“You want? We wait for Papa first yes, you can go down with Papa.” It wasn't that Qyen refused Alan's invitation, it was just that he didn't want anything to happen with them later. This country was the first time Qyen visited, the air outside was minus degrees, and plus a lot of people passed by, Qyen did not want to take a very big risk later.

“Qyen .. Come on, I'd love that donut now.”

“Hm ... How about we book it at the hotel?”

Alan shook his head and looked down lethargic, it seemed like his efforts were in vain to persuade Qyen to buy a doughnut with him.

His heart could not bear to see Alan who was now lethargic, and continued to pay attention to the donut shop, finally Qyen agreed and invited Alan to go out to buy donuts.

They are ready with their respective padding jackets, not to forget the boots as well. “Kak, Alan is out. Can?”

Albra glanced at Qyen, unaware that his wife was wearing a padding jacket. “Yes, not for long. Careful.”

Qyen nodded, and led Alan out of their room.

…

Uniting in the crowd on the streets of Shinjuku, their feet also stepped towards the donut shop which is currently queuing more and more. They need to cross at least two highways.

“Wow, I love the atmosphere here,” said Alan whose mouth was slightly covered by his padding.

“You like? But it looks like if we go out with Papa more exciting.” Qyen still felt fear if she went alone with Alan. Although he could speak a little English, and Alan was the same, but it could not guarantee anything later, especially now his feelings began to feel bad.

Green lights with human images were visible, they began to walk across the streets with hundreds of people crossing the streets as well.

“Qyen, you don't bring your phone?”

“Ah! Cell phone, I forgot. I only carry cards. Why indeed?”

“Hm, I want in photo.” Alan's narcissistic soul is still in flames.

“Sorry, dear. I forgot to bring it.”

Alan swung Qyen's hand that held him. “It's okay, thanks for coming with me to buy donuts.”

Arriving in front of the store, they queue to be able to order their orders. But because of the long queue, a servant approached Qyen and asked him what doughnuts they had bought.

“Where do you want?”

“Em, order this and this box menu.” With Alan's hand, the waiter nodded, and now their job was to wait for the doughnut to come into their hands.

No one spoke here, Qyen was busy shaking her feet from the cold, her eyes were watching around thinking about which street to take them home later and her hands were now off Alan's hands, to open the hot pack.

The activity that Qyen did was 5 minutes long, until a servant gave orders to Qyen, and Qyen received them after the payment he made.

“Honey donuts already ...”

“Alan?” Qyen turned her body to look for Alan's whereabouts.

“Alan?” Call Qyen again. The current Qyen was truly frightened.

“This is not funny, Alan. Out, baby. Don't hide.” Qyen spoke loud enough that those around him noticed.

Qyen was so stupid to let go of his hand from Alan's grasp earlier, he even thought Alan was waiting for his donut which did not take long to arrive. But where's the kid? In the frenzied streets of wandering humans, Qyen looks for a way to see Alan and find the little boy there.

“Excuse me, do you see my child?” Qyen did not want to feel scared himself, he looked up and wondered to the person next to him if he had seen his son. But basically the people there did not care, they did not answer not even present Qyen's question.

“Argh, Alan ..”

Qyen went to the left of the shop, where there was also a very crowded intersection. Qyen was scared, very, very scared this time. He groped his jacket to find his cell phone and contacted Albra. “Stupid, Stupid Qyen! You don't have hp!” the trouble to yourself.

Qyen walked quickly, and still carrying a paper bag containing doughnuts in his right hand, with a confused face he tried to find Alan among the hundreds or even thousands of people who passed him.

Qyen's eyes were already heated up and confused, even now he was far away from his hotel.

Qyen returned to the ketoko earlier, circling to find Alan to the right of the road, but nil, Alan still remained absent. The sky has changed to black, but at this time the clock is still showing at 5 pm.

The frightened and disoriented Qyen could only lean against an electric pole in a small alley sitting on him because he did not know what to do.

“Alan ... Do you want to donate? This I bought ..” Her tears shed, Qyen cried in the midst of her fear. He doesn't even know where he is now.

….

While on the other hand, Albra who had just finished solving the leaky data constraints in his company, he let out a long sigh. It's the same as he did. Both of them were not even aware that the sky had blackened.

“Hour half six. Didn't Qyen say something two hours ago? How come I'm not back?” Ian was aware of that because he heard and saw Qyen and Alan coming out of the hotel room using their respective padding.

Albra just regained consciousness, casually taking her cell phone to contact Qyen. But this was the fifth call and Qyen did not answer.

“Qyen not picking up the phone,” says Albra.

Ian who was in the kitchen taking a drink also spoke, “hp Qyen is here. He didn't bring hp.”

Ian showed me Qyen's phone. Seeing that his heart was very strange, where did Qyen go and did not bring his cellphone. Albra took his outer, and ran out.

“Qyen go where? Isn't he just down to the restaurant?”

Ian followed. “If only to the hotel restaurant, he will not wear padding and boots.”

“Shit!” Albra was unaware of that.

Albra and Ian ran after coming out of the elevator, they were united with the human-filled streets. How can they find Qyen if this is the way.

“Qyen and Alan seem to be missing. They left at about three, but why haven't they returned?”  Ian was sometimes upset with Albra who always made a point about things like this. He was equally worried, especially the temperature here was very cold.

“Albra, you search around these streets. I'm looking in the street ahead. Hp Lo stand. I've reported to the police.”

Albra nodded. He obeyed the orders of Ian, who was used to this. Ian has little power in this area because he has some business here.

Albra ran to find Qyen and his son who seemed to be losing his way to go home. “Qyen, Alan .. Why do I always miss trivial things like this.” Albra continued to run, not even paying attention to how many people had been hit by his shoulder.

While Ian who was across the road there, it also ran, looking for his brother-in-law and also his nephew. Although Alan sucks, if he finds out Alan's missing like this, Ian won't stay silent.

“Alan! How cute is Lo being a kid! Where else has it gone.” Pissed Ian.

After a 30-minute search by Albra and Ian, they have now returned together to find Qyen and Alan. Ian's phone rang, and the police called him.

Ian picked up the phone in Japanese and Albra understood what Ian was talking about.

“Qyen! It was in an alley near the store,” he said and they ran as hard as they could.

“Qyen ..” He feels very anxious to be angry at this time, but seems unable to. He had to find his wife and son first.

Until they stopped, and already saw there was an ambulance there. “Qyen!” Albra shouted, and went straight to the ambulance.

His breathing was relieved as Qyen was sitting crying and hugging a paper bag. Albra was so relieved to see his wife still breathing. But where is Alan? Where did the boy go?

“Kak ..”

“Sayang.” Albra went into the ambulance and hugged Qyen who was very cold with a deathly pale face.

“A—alan ... Hiks .. Alan missing, Brother ...”
