AZUMAS
if fate had met

“We've searched everywhere, but there's no result. We better go back to the post and look for it together with the SAR.” team Said Bobi while continuing to follow Yoga from behind. Throughout the night they continued down the forest and by this time the sun had started to show itself.

“You can go home to Bobi's post, I never forced you to come looking. I wouldn't be able to live if something happened to Mei, you yourself know that.” Yoga while walking. The slippery roads caused by the rain overnight made them fall many times.

“I know Yoga, I also hope we can quickly find Mei, but this is not how. We don't know this forest, I think we're circling in the same place.” Bobi looked around him, he was sure they had already passed this place.

“See! There's a hut up ahead!” exclaim Yoga quickened his pace, he hoped to find Mei in that place. Yoga and Bobi went inside the hut and checked the situation inside. Yoga saw that someone was sleeping in the corner of the hut, and immediately walked up to the person.

“May!,” Excite Yoga. She patted Mei's face to wake her up. Bobi came closer and breathed a sigh of relief knowing Mei was fine.

“Hey, wake up May, this is Kak Yoga.” Yoga is slow. Slowly, Mei opened her eyes. “Kak Yoga?!” mai immediately hugged her sister.

“You okay?” ask Bobi while sitting in front of May, “What exactly happened?”

Mei improved her sitting position and started telling me how she could be in this hut, “Luckily there are good people willing to help me.” Mei ended her story.

“Good people? Who?” ask Yoga. Mei searched around the hut. “I'm sure I met a guy here last night. Mei got up and looked around the hut, Yoga and Bobi followed from behind.

“Nobody here, we'd better get out of here.” Yoga immediately tidied up Mei's backpack, stuffing her things in. Mei is still searching but due to not also seeing Azuma she has no other choice but to go home with her brother. Mei actually wanted to express her gratitude, but she did not know where Azuma was going.

“Yoga, don't you feel like you smell something foul?” bobi asked as he approached a large tree. Yoga concentrates its kiss. “ueeek! What's this stench? Like the smell of carrion!” Yoga closes both noses with his hands. Mei who walked the very back recognized the foul scent.

“Come from the direction of that big tree! Bobi exclaimed as he pointed towards a large tree not far from where they were standing. Mei recognizes the big tree Bobi pointed to, which is where she defecated last night.

“Try us to check, who knows there is a dead animal or maybe there is a rotten corpse in the grave in the tree.” Say Yoga while following the steps of Bobi who is in charge of leading the way in front.

“Stop!” mei exclaimed suddenly, spontaneously Yoga and Bobi stopped her steps and turned her head towards Mei.

“Why May?” ask Yoga.

“There is nothing there brother!, we go the other way.”

“But the smell really stings May, there can't be nothing there.” Said Bobi while continuing to cover both noses with his hands.

“You just wait there May, we will be back soon, you can also smell this foul scent right?” Yoga is chiming. Both intend to continue their steps closer to the tree.”

“Yaaaaaaa!!!, I told you there was nothing there!” Mei shouted while throwing her shoes next to the two men in front of her. The shoes are right about the back of Yoga. At the same time Yoga and Bimo had arrived in front of the tree where the pungent smell was coming from. Both of them were fixated when they saw something on the ground near the tree, and simultaneously they turned back to the big tree with blank eyes.

“Yellow browned.” Guman Bobi

“Hmm, very much.” Connect Yoga. Yoga picked up the shoes that May had thrown at her. The two walked closer towards Mei silently.

“Let's go home, maybe the way from there.” Said Bobi wrong behavior while walking another collar.

“I told you there's nothing on that tree, why don't you believe it?” Mei covered her face with both her hands holding in shame.

“We did not see anything” Yoga put his sister's foot into the shoe he was carrying earlier, tying the rope carefully to ensure that the rope will not come off. Mei still covered her face with her hands and started sobbing. Yoga stood up and hugged his sister's body, kissing her forehead gently.

“It's okay, in a big forest like this amazing things often happen” said Yoga while stroking his sister's head, there was a smile on his face. “We go home now?” continued. Mei just nodded. Yoga grasped his sister's hand, helping her walk through the forest in front of them.

“In the meantime we arrive!, a guard post is there after passing the tree in front of it.” Bobi who led the way exclaimed happily. Yoga and Mei look at the tree that Bobi pointed at. He smiled with sparkling eyes.

“Brrraaaaak!!”

Yoga, Bobi, and Mei were both shocked to hear the loud noise behind them.

“ You wait here yes,” Ujar Yoga intends to go check what is going on behind them

“We look together!” mei said while holding her brother's hand. Yoga only glimpsed Mei's face and could see there was a sense of worry there. Yoga finally nodded and began to lead the way towards the source of the voice, Bobi followed closely behind. They reached the edge of a cliff and saw a broken tree branch on the edge of the cliff. At the same time the Yoga phone rang startling the three of them. Their location not far from the highway makes the phone back to function properly.

“Hallo?” Yoga answered his phone.

“Master, is everything okay? Where are you?” ask someone from across.

“Oh Andi, we are close to the guard post, we will be up soon.” Yoga answered his secretary's question

“Hallo Yoga, are you okay? What about Mei?” ask someone again from across the street but in a different voice.

“ Bimo?, we're fine, we'll be there soon. What about the other kids?”tanya Yoga while watching Bobi and Mei who have gone down the cliff.

“I told them to go home first, me and your secretary are waiting at the guard post, I called her afraid something might happen to you.”

“Thank you Bim, we'll be right up.” Yoga ends his call and joins me along the cliff with Mei and Bobi.

“I think someone fell here.” Bright Bobi while following the footsteps of the bushes in front of him. “See! There's something there.” Bobi ran towards the front and saw someone lying on top of the bushes. The man held a burlap sack containing bananas and cassava. Yoga and Mei followed.

“Azuma?” exclaimed Mei recognized the man in front of her. May directly check the condition of Azuma. ”dia is still breathing.” He said again while bringing his index finger closer to Azuma's nose.

“You know this guy?” tanya Yoga helps check the pulse in Azuma's hand while trying to release the gunny sack that Azuma was holding.

“He's the guy I told you about, he helped me out in the hut. Brother, we have to help him.” Mei looked at her brother with a hopeful look.

“Alright,” Yoga pulled out his phone and contacted his secretary.

“Quickly come here and call an ambulance, there are people we should take to the hospital.” Yoga gives the command.

Krieying..

The sound of a cell phone echoed in Joni's room, with Joni lazily raising the phone that was on her bedside table.

“Haloo,” Joni said

“Master, we lost Azuma,” said the person there.

“What?! How can?” answer Joni emotion.

“We lost track of him sir, we will look for him again.”

“Stupid basis! Keeping one person alone is not truculent, I give you until this afternoon, you know what the consequences will be if you can not find it.” Joni hung up her phone in a huff.

“Who's the reward?” tanya Nia, Joni's wife from behind the bedroom door.

“Oh, nobody, just office business.” Joni while getting out of his bed.

“Oh, do not be too emotional to subordinates, however the company will not run without them, breakfast has been prepared, today I will take a yoga class, maybe a new afternoon home.” Said Nia while making the bed.

“Alright, do whatever pleases your heart.” Said Joni while kissing his wife's forehead softly.

“How could the child possibly disappear?” Rida stood up from her chair. He walked back and forth thinking about what action he should take. Leo, his secretary just stood up while bowing his head full of regret.

“We just found it, but now we have to lose it. Actually how do you guys take care of the job? I'm afraid Joni will find it before we.” in a fit of annoyance Rida grabs her phone from the table and calls someone on her phone.

“You have to find someone for me.” Said Rida to someone across the street.

The morning sun was shining brightly on a busy Monday. As usual, the road is jammed because of the number of vehicles that pass by delivering people with their respective busyness. Go to work, school, and so on. From two-wheeled vehicles, four and large trucks that load goods that will be transported from one city to another. Many people also choose to walk to avoid traffic jams. Not much different from V&T. One of the companies engaged in the field of fasion is also very busy.

“How's your weekend?” bimo's greeting to Yuri. Yuri who was waiting for the elevator door smiled “ Fun sir,” he said politely.Bimo also stood beside Yuri.

“Lusion is fine? If it's not wrong now he sits in the second grade instead?” bimo asked again while sipping his black coffee.

“True sir.”

“Hmm, so. Why do you always call me father? Do I look that old?” bimo asked as he turned his gaze to look towards Yuri.

“I think it should be sir, dad is my boss.” Yuri replied staring at Bimo and immediately turned her gaze towards the elevator door that was already open. Yuri went inside while Bimo was still standing in front of the elevator door sipping his coffee.

“Father not logged in?” yuri asked as she pressed the number ten button on the elevator. Reluctantly Bimo entered the elevator, but he had not been able to enter the elevator there was someone else who entered before him.

“Thank you,” said the man

“Oh no Yuri!, good morning Yuri.” Said the smiling man greeting Yuri.

“Good morning Luke.” Answer Yuri politely. Bimo stepped into the elevator but again someone hit him.

“If you go look around dong!” bimo was upset.

“Hahaha sorry Bimo, I am in a hurry”, Bobi said with a laugh.” Good morning Yuri.” His sweep then upon seeing Yuri in front of him. Bimo stood up in annoyance. When the door closes, someone comes closer.

“Wait!, wait for me!” Siska holds the elevator door from the outside and automatically opens the lift door again. The woman walked in and stood her back to Bimo and the others. The elevator doors closed again and the elevator slid up to the tenth floor.

“Hoi!, don't you take a shower?” bimo asked the woman.

“What do you mean?”siska asked irritatedly as she glared at Bimo.

“There is a big belek in the corner of your eye.” Bimo replied while sipping back his coffee. Siska quickly took out a mirror from her bag and checked her eyes. Then he was annoyed to realize that there was no fetter in his eyes.

“Not your business, just take care of your own problems!” siska said while pouting.

“Why don't you guys just date? I see you guys are a matching couple. Right Yuri?” tanya Bobi teases Bimo and Siska.

“ogah!” exclaimed Bimo and siska together while glaring towards Bobi. Yuri and Lukas just smiled at their behavior. The elevator doors opened, and now they reached the tenth floor. They enter their own rooms and prepare to begin their work.

Yoga arrived at the company in his car, a security man came to open the door of his car. Yoga goes into the company. The suit he wore made him look dignified as well as dazzling. Andi's secretary followed behind him. All the employees in the company saluted him. “What time is the meeting at start?” tanya Yoga walked towards the elevator

“Jam nine master, and twelve o'clock master there is a lunch appointment with mr. Goklas, in the afternoon you have to meet with clients from singapore.” Answer Andi while looking at the Yoga schedule on the tablet. Yoga and Andi got into the elevator and quickly arrived at the tenth floor.

“Please check back the hotel that will be used for meetings with clients from Singapore later, I do not want any errors.” Yoga Commandments to Andi

“Good Sir!”. Yoga got out of the elevator while Andi got back downstairs. Yoga walks to the meeting room. Bimo and the others were already waiting.

“Please start!” yoga commands Bimo who is sitting checking email on his laptop. Bimo nodded in agreement, then walked forward to start his report.

“This year we will follow the STYL exhibition, as we know this exhibition is a fashion show that is not famous only in Indonesia but has penetrated into foreign countries. We will take this opportunity to become a fashion industry that is famous for good quality and quantity. For this year they gave the theme twilight.”

“Senja? What does it mean?” Lukas mutters.

“As we know, every year STYL always gives a different theme and not only that, there is always a hidden meaning behind the theme.” Bobi gave an explanation.

“Then what does this year's theme mean?” Yoga is chiming.

“We still can not find the meaning, we will try to examine more in” explained Bimo

“When will the event take place? Ask Yoga.

“Early december later.” Siska Sahut.

“Alright, there is still six months left, put all the effort and potential we have.” Yoga gives spirit.

“There are complaints from the production part, the material we ordered last month has not been sent, I have tried to contact the supplier and they said that the goods have been sent a week ago.” Bobi gave a report.

“Goclas..,” Yoga murmur with growl. “I'll take care of that problem, you guys focus on preparing for this year's STYL event, thank you everyone.” Further again. Yoga got up from his chair and stepped out at the follow Bimo and the others.

“How about May? Has he come home from the hospital?” bimo asked while trying to equate his steps with Yoga. The two of them walked towards the Yoga room while Bobi, Siska, Yuri and Lukas returned to their respective work desks.

”Today they're going home, I'll pick her up later in the afternoon but I have to meet with a client from Singapore. Can you help me pick them up?”

“Of course, but by the way, who's that guy she was with? His body looks unkempt, his hair is long not because of the whole face, I can not distinguish which hair where the beard.

“Entaiah, I don't know. I'm just following May's request, after all if it's true that she helped Mei while lost in the forest yesterday, I'll do anything to repay her kindness.” Yoga said as he entered his room and sat on the sofa in the room. Bimo sat in front of him.

“But what if he's a bad guy? you don't see his horrible look?” ask Bimo curiously.

“ We cannot judge people from outside only. Maybe I think you know better about it.” Answer Yoga after staring at Bimo for a while. Bimo was silent at the answer of Yoga. She recalled the time Yoga saved her from loan sharks who kept chasing her because of her parents' debts. At that time Bimo was in a narrow alley, his face was full of wounds from the blows of thugs who were hired by loan sharks to collect his father's debt. Bimo was no longer strong enough to walk, after tired of running Bimo decided to give up and decided to commit suicide. The reality of his life is very hard. He tried to apply for a job but no one accepted. Let alone to pay the debt, to eat only he had to do odd jobs, wash dishes from one restaurant to another. A bachelor's degree that he did not immediately make it easy to find a job. There are people who want to hire him but on the condition that he has to hand over the incoming money which is quite expensive. With tears Bimo walked to the bridge in front of him, he intended to plunge into the river from the bridge.

“The river is not deep!, if you jump from the top of this bridge, you will not die. Maybe only your legs will break, hands maybe. But if you plunge with your head facing down, maybe you can die, your head will break open with rocks on the bottom of the river.” Said a man who came to him. That man is Yoga

“Who are you? Are you also that loan shark rental thug?” bimo asked, afraid of the man in front of him.

“Preman?” Yoga looked around him, he put both his hands into his trending pants pocket. “Where are the thugs?” he asked again after not seeing anyone around them.

“You, you're the thug on rent, right?” bimo asked still in a cautious manner.

“I? I'm thugs? Eh,,! Where there is a look of cool and fashionable thugs like myself,” said Yoga praising himself.

“Master!, sir.., why do you run so fast?” said a man wearing a white t-shirt and green trending pants came to Yoga and Bimo.

“You're the one who ran very slow.” Yoga said while patting the shoulder of the man who turned out to be his own secretary.

“You called your friend? You guys intend to kill me?” bimo was worried. Yoga and Andi were silent and looked at each other.

“What does it mean sir?” andy asked not to understand.

“I don't know either, just now he said that I'm a thug.” Clear Yoga plain.

“Waah, where did this guy know?” andi said while closing her mouth showing a sense of admiration.

“Know what?” tanya Yoga did not understand.

“If master is a thug?” andi Smbil laughed.

“plaaak!’ one slap slowly landed on Andi's head. Andi just grimaced while holding the back of her head that hurt. Yoga hit Andi's head in a fit of anxiety.

“Listen young man, I don't know who you are, and why you intend to jump into that river. Whatever your problem, face it. Nothing will be finished if you choose to escape, no matter how painful it is.” Yoga said as he stared at Bimo's face for a moment then intended to leave the place.

“I..!, I also do not want to run away from my problems”, exclaimed Bimo stopped Yoga steps. “I always try, but no one wants to help me, no one wants to give me a job. Only moneyed people can work within the company, do you know how many hundred job application letters I have written and how many companies I have come to? They all rejected me.” Bimo started crying. “ I don't mind having to pay all my parents' debts, I'll do anything for them, but no one wants to hire me.” Now Bimo has fallen on the edge of the bridge. At the same time the thugs who were chasing Bimo came closer, there were about five people who came carrying iron clubs. The thug came closer to Bimo and intended to hit him with a stick in front of them.

“Hoi!!, what are you doing?” tanya Yoga stopped the intentions of those thugs.

“Don't interfere if you don't want to get hurt!” said the thin-haired thug giving a warning.

“I just exercised this morning, but somehow it feels like my body still feels heavy, am I not far enough to run?” says Yoga while shaking the waist.

“Andi, how many kilo meters have I run?” ask Yoga to Andi who is standing behind him.

“Five kilo meters master.” Answer Andi as he comes closer and stands beside Yoga.

“Five kilos meters? Not far away yet. But the thing is, I'm lazy to run again. Do you guys want to exercise with me?” tanya Yoga mocked the thugs.

“Don't mess with us, you see what's in our hands?” said the thug again while showing the iron club in his hand.

“Ahh, just that?, all right. I didn't want to tell you guys, but it looks like you should be taught a lesson.” Yoga said while taking something out of his pants pocket.

“Pis, gun?” said the thugs while walking backwards. Not only the thugs, Andi was also surprised and walked backwards.

“I am a police officer, if you want to find trouble with me please!, I will shoot you one by one, dump your bodies into this river.” Threaten Yoga while pointing his gun at the thugs.

“You.., you can't do that, can't the police not be allowed to shoot people recklessly? You'll be arrested anyway for killing us.” Said the thug stuttering

“No problem, who will report me anyway? People will actually feel very happy because I got rid of leeches like you guys.” Yoga is firm. “How so? We start? I will count to three, on the count of three, if you still intend to fight me, there will be bloodshed in this place. One.” says Yoga starts counting. “ Duaa,” exciting yoga again with a louder voice. The thugs hesitated then immediately ran away before Yoga finished counting to three. With a relieved smile Yoga lowered his gun.

“Tu..lord, since when do you have a gun?” said Andi coming closer carefully.

“Ah this? It's a toy gun.” Yoga with a smile.

“What?! Where did you take it from?”

“Have a small child in front of the ice cream stall earlier.” Answer Yoga plain

“Astagah,” Andi patted his eel not believing what his boss was doing.

“So I saw a little boy crying in front of an ice cream stall, so it's because you took his toy gun?” ask Andi to make sure

“Eem.” Yoga without guilt. Andi was silent not knowing what else to say.

“Hey!, do you really want to work?” tanya Yoga to Bimo who was still silent listening to them earlier. Bimo just kept silent not answering.

“Try coming to V&T, if you really want to work, I'll give you a chance. Prove that all you need is a chance. If it turns out that you do not have good quality, I will not hesitate to immediately fire you.” Yoga looked at Bimo seriously

“Why are you helping me? I'm not a ready-who.” Ask Bimo

“Because I don't want the phrase there's no chance of you making excuses when you fail. I'm just giving you a chance. Answer Yoga while walking away after Bimo who is still silent digesting the sentence he just heard. I follow Yoga from behind.

“Master, did you not feel afraid?” andi asked her to equate her steps with Yoga.

“No.” Dogged Yoga

“Why?” ask Andi curious.

“And there you are, five people is not a big problem for both of us, we can share.” Clear Yoga

“then, sir will your opponent how many people?”

“One person, the rest you take. I'm not a greedy person.” Answer Yoga calmly. Andi stopped silent at his steps.

“Why?” ask Yoga while stopping his steps.

“I'll tell miss May that you stole a little kid's toy!” andi shouted in a loud voice.

“Hei!! You want to die?!” yoga said as he walked closer to Andi, intending to hit him, but Andi immediately fled with lightning speed leaving Yoga behind.

“Stop!! I'm really going to kill you!’ exclaim Yoga while running after Andi who is far away in front of him. Bimo just silently watched the behavior of the two men he had just met.

“Thank you.” Mumbled slowly.
