Gladis tearfully entered the house, led by Gebi. Ray's parents saw Gladis enter the house directly standing from his seat, both of them waiting in the middle room since they knew that in the house there was no Ray and Gladis.
Mami Ray immediately approached Gladis and Gebi, "Why is this?" Mami Ray asked frantically and took over Gladis from Gebi.
"That's Mi, Ra" Adu Gladis.
"Be careful if you walk, you're pregnant" Mami Ray reminded Gladis and they sat side by side.
"The story to Mami, why Alex?" Continue with curiosity.
Gladis clasped her mother-in-law's hands together and looked her in the eyes, "Mommy, don't you get mad if I'm late for home?" Ask ensures.
Mami Ray nodded her head with a smile, "Son, but don't repeat" she replied.
"So why Alex?" Ask Mami Ray.
"Ra, go without saying goodbye. I searched but didn't see" Adu Gladis told her mother-in-law.
Papi Ray immediately called Ray, his phone he stuck in the ear but the voice of the operator sounded.
"Not active" he said then back to stare at the screen of his phone, I don't know what he was looking for in his phone and then back he glued in his earpiece, but again only the voice of the operator was heard.
"Not active either" Papi Ray told his wife and ex.
"Who's on the phone, Pi?" Ask istirnya.
"Alan, Alex's friend but not active either. Are they in the restaurant?" Papi Ray wondered.
"Maybe, Alex has always been with Alan. Likely, Alex is in Alan's apartment" explained Mami Ray.
Gebi sat quietly while listening to the Manullang family talk, willing to say goodbye but awkward before their conversation was finished.
Papi Ray sat back down while leaning on the sofa. Thinking of finding a way to find her son.
"Mommy, aren't you?" Asked Papi Ray, he deliberately asked like that because usually a premonition of a mother will not miss the state of her child.
"Slightly, but it is unlikely that anything harmful will happen. Just try to touch Alex, I'll find him to enter the ant hole" Mami Ray's tone was so firm, making Gladis difficult to swallow.
"Tomorrow morning, we will pick up at Alan's apartment" said Mami Ray, "entering this room at midnight," he continued, then stood looking at Gebi, "There is a guest room, there is a guest room, staying here overnight is not good for girls to wander around midnight."
Gebi responded with a forced smile, wanting her heart to sincerely say thank you but after hearing the word Gebi so lazy.
"It's light that Mami Ra says like that, I'm here because of his ex" Gebi mengedumel in his heart.
They also went to their own rooms. Papi Ray's still thinking about his son. Gladis thought nothing of thinking about Ray and his language-in-law. Gebi entered the room with an unclear mouth.
"Dead me, if Mami knew why Ra didn't come home tonight" Inner Gladis closed the door to her room.
Unlike Gebi, he laid his body on the bed.
"That's why Mami Ra talks like I try, use the language of wandering again, I if not the lazy spell I came here" Kesal Gebi still ringing Mami Ray.

On a clear morning, Viona deliberately made her bedroom window so that the morning breeze would enter the room. The morning breeze feels cool and fresh, it breathes deeply.
"In the morning breeze made the heart calm, maybe because it has not been contaminated with the wind of human hypocrisy kali yaa" muttered Viona, then he laughed funny laugh at himself.
"Wind of hypocrisy, O Viona you are getting weird" He continued, shaking his head in wonder at his own words.
While in the kitchen as usual, Heti's mother again fought with kitchen utensils. The breakfast that he made was. He takes it to the dinner table and calls Viona for breakfast.
A knock on the door rang out from behind the door while calling out Viona's name.
"Viona, breakfast first. Mama wait yes" said Heti's mother then left her daughter's room.
Viona who was standing by the window immediately walked out of the room towards the dining table for breakfast together. Done eating Viona ready to the boutique while the mother Heti as usual at home, as for out of the house means more gathering with her friends.
Upon arriving, Viona did her first thing to clean her boutique floor. He was actually tired, all he did alone but how else until now no one has come to apply for a job when in front of it is clearly displayed.
He took a drink for a moment, his throat was dry.
"Do I go back to call Ina, I'll raise my salary later" Viona thought while weighing.
"Fix, Ina only" He continued after steady with his choice.
He picks up his phone and contacts Ina, the first call goes unanswered and Viona doesn't give up so easily, as her only hope is Ina. I called back and there was a sound that just woke up.
"Assalamualaikum" Ina said across the phone while covering her mouth as she yawned.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, just woke up?" Viona asked on the phone.
"Yes, phone tumben. What's up?" Ask Ina back on the phone while shaking her blanket and she wakes up from her bed. Viona immediately laughed cengengesan
"Viona, how are you?" Ask Ina again on the phone.
"Well, who's cheating, I'm just laughing" replied Viona.
"Yes.yeah" Ina lazily argued with Viona, "what's the matter, need some help?"
"To be precise, I want to call you back to work. How's it?" Viona asked with great expectation Ina agreed.
"Later to see" Ina replied.
Instantly, Viona's lips curled forward past her nose. He took a deep breath, not in line with expectations.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower. There is a sudden job, assalamualaikum" said Ina again and then turn off the phone connection unilaterally.
Viona moved the phone away from her ears and stared at the screen, "indeed Ina was a bit different."
While on the same land in different places, Mami Ray and Gladis are ready to go to Alan's apartment to pick up Ray. There was doubt in Gladis' heart, he was afraid that Ray was not in Alan's apartment and his mother would have wondered.
"Where are you?" Inner Gladis was agitated in his seat.
"Where's your friend?" Ask Mami Ray.
Gladis did not hear his in-laws question, he was busy with his own thoughts.
"Gladis, what friend of yours?, hasn't he woken up yet?" Ask Mommy Ray again.
"aa.aa.. Who's Mi?" Ask back Gladis.
"Your friend. Think what?, Alex?. She's the most in Alan's apartment, take it easy" Mami Ray calmed Gladis's heart.
Gladis then took her mother-in-law's hand, "thank you, Mi" she said in doubt. She was very afraid that her mother-in-law's words last night had happened and the person she was going to look for was herself.
"If Gladis friend, he had gone home this morning, he said hurriedly wanted to leave but the door of Mami's room with Papi was still closed" Coral Gladis.
Gladis wakes Gebi up from dawn and tells him to go home quickly. He does not want Ray to go home and find Gebi at home, can be chaotic later.
The two set off by driver, on their way to Alan's apartment, Mami Ray always called Ray and Alan but both phone numbers were out of reach.
"Still sleeping like this" muttered Mami Raya again in the car, "Pelan just bring the car yes sir, the ghost is pregnant" continued Mami Ray told the driver.
The driver nodded yes, then took the car slowly according to the employer's direction.
If it's Ray and Alan, don't ask. The two were sleeping in an inn not far from the scene. The two arrived at the inn at 2 am. Both bodies felt crumpled like they had just done heavy work.
Ray sleeps on his back on the bed and Alan overslept in a disofa. Both bodies are far from clean, especially Ray had drunk alcohol. The smell of alcohol still smelled from his mouth.
Wiggling with eyes looking around the bed.
"Where is this, Lan?" Ask Ray.
Alan who had not opened his eyes, replied very briefly "Uumm"
"Oh" Ray responded no less briefly and then both went back to sleep. Drowsiness still controls both.
The hour hand turned so fast, it showed at 10 a.m., but the two were still asleep. Alan and Ray just felt like a few hours ago.
While in Alan's apartment, Mami Ray and Gladis were sitting inside while waiting for news from Alan's mother, because Alan's mother was waiting for her child.
"Sorry ma'am, didn't they come back from last night?" Ask Mami Ray.
"Yes, called but not active. I called the restaurant he said no, but his friend's motorbike was there" explained Nisa.
Gladis, who heard this, panicked more, secretly sending a message to his man.
"Where are you?, why hasn't my husband come home so far" Gladis said.
The thug boss called, he said to pick up the phone for a moment and then he left.
"Hello, I don't want to know, find my husband until I can" Gladis's strict, low-pitched orders are barely audible.
"Anyways, this morning I should've gotten the latest information" Gladis said again on the phone and switched off the phone. He did not want to linger leaving his in-laws, later suspected.
Gladis sat back down by trying to be as relaxed as possible.
"What's a regular Alan like this?" Ask Mami Ray to Nisa's mom.
"As far as I'm concerned, Alan always comes home" Nisa replied.
I am worried about his son this time. He actually after meeting his friend Heti then he will return to his hometown in Sulawesi.
Sit still and think about finding a solution.
"Are we going to call the police?" Nisa's mother's proposal managed to make Gladis panic again until he felt his stomach mules.
"Can too. When?" Ask Mami Ray.
Gladis said, "shouldn't we look first."
He ventured to issue an opinion while waiting for a message from his men. At least his words could make the two mothers think.
The faces of the two mothers in front of Gladis were agitated and looked back and forth at the phone screen in hopes of Ray or Alan calling.
"Where are the kids" murmured Nisa.
"Mi, I've found Ra and Alan" Gladis said happily.
Nisa and Mami Ray immediately turned to Gladis.
"Where?" Asked simultaneously.
"In Nusa Inn, Mi. We are there now" Gladis said with enthusiasm.
"Oh my God, thank you son. We're there now."
Nisa's mother was relieved after hearing her son at the inn, immediately seized there using Mami Ray's car.
"I'm loved more this time" she said with a happy smile.
"Good work, I'll transfer the bonus later" a message Gladis sent to the thug boss.
