Now Luciano, Ming Hao, Alzam and his team are conducting a search around the Tebing Keraton. The clock now shows at 02:10 p.m., but despite being very late at night, they continued to search until Melissa was found. Luciano and Ming Hao went in different directions with Alzam and his team.
"Oh yeah, do you know when Yuxian went missing? How did Mel know about Yuxian's disappearance until Mel went alone to this place?" ask Luciano to Ming Hao.
"I don't know exactly when Yuxian disappeared. I know from my mother-in-law she said Yuxian hasn't come home yet after coming home from Mel's house. My mother-in-law was also the one who contacted Mel and asked for her help to look for my sister-in-law," Ming Hao replied with a gaze that showed honesty.
"Why should Mel? Was there no one else that Yuxian's mother could ask for help? Why should Mel. Your mother-in-law knows if Mel is a woman, why doesn't she think about Mel's safety? I wonder, how could Mel think of going to this cliff? Did Yuxian himself send you here?" Luciano was already very tired because after hours he was looking for Melissa, his girlfriend who had not come to fruition.
"I've asked for this before. Had my mother-in-law not asked Mel to look for Yuxian and had she asked me to look for Yuxian maybe Mel was still safe. Mel's not gonna disappear like this. Forgive my Mother-in-law. You know, a mother's feelings are soft. He will not be able to see his son has not returned let alone declared lost. Maybe because Mel was Yuxian's best friend, my mother-in-law had the courage to ask Mel for help. He doesn't know if Mel would come to a dangerous place like this. Once again I apologize to you," said Ming Hao sincerely accompanied by bowing his head in guilt.
"I know she's a mother. But, you also don't forget that Mel has a mother too. How Aunt Cassie felt when she heard her daughter was missing. Lupama your apology! We better continue looking for Mel, soon the sun will rise. This will make our search easier." Luciano walked away from Ming Hao with a sense of regret.
Ming Hao simply nodded and followed Luciano from behind. Meanwhile, on the way they saw a watch lying down. Without lingering, he immediately took out his watch and looked at it closely. After he is convinced that it is his girlfriend's watch, he runs in search of Alzam and his team.
"Zam! I found Mel's watch!" yelled Luciano loudly.
He shouted with great enthusiasm while running. Followed by Ming Hao from behind who came running after Luciano. Luciano's face was slightly cheerful, his eyes twinkling. He seems to have a great hope if he will soon find his girlfriend.
As soon as he arrived in front of Alzam, Luciano showed Melissa the clock. Alzam took out a plastic bag. Apparently Alzam put the watch as evidence. With the evidence, they were sure that Melissa had indeed disappeared around the Keraton Cliff.
"Luci, you know .. In the case of Melissa's disappearance, there's some weird stuff here. Isn't it very difficult here? If Mel was in the trunk, Mel should have stayed here and his vehicle disappeared. However, this situation turned around. Do you feel anything strange, too?" Alzam stared intently at his friend.
"Fuck and weird how do you mean, Zam?" Luciano scrunched his forehead. He was confused by what his friend explained.
"After me and my team investigate. It turns out Melissa's car dashcam doesn't exist. That means Mel's kidnappers have taken her SD card. It seems they are not random people. They seem to be used to doing this. But, there's still hope because we have two pieces of evidence that might have their fingerprints on them. Unfortunately, there is no CCTV. If anything, maybe we'll be able to figure out where they're going to take Mel. Now we can only ask the people around, maybe last night someone saw the disappearance of Mel, come on." Alzam took Luciano and Ming Hao to one of the villages not far from the Keraton Cliffs.
"Come, Zam. I wish Mel was in one of those people's houses."
****
Now Luciano and others have arrived in one of the villages called the Yellow Valley. The name of this village is synonymous with the danger of the terrain to the village and there is a Valley around their village. They split up again so that Melissa could be found quickly.
One by one their homes came. They asked about the characteristics of Melissa even they showed Melissa photos to the residents of the Yellow Valley village. However, none of them recognized and met Melissa. Regarding last night's events, no one knew about the events of that night.
Suddenly a grandmother approached Luciano and whispered. "The woman you're looking for is in danger! Save him immediately!" whispered the black old granny while grinning creepily and leaving.
Hearing that, Luciano was just stunned. He was confused, what should he do? Should he believe the old grandmother's words? But why did he whisper that to me? Did he know anything about Mel's disappearance? Looks like I have to ask the old grandmother something.
However, as soon as Luciano turned his back on her, the old granny did not exist. "Where is the old grandma?" Luciano looked here and there looking for the whereabouts of the old grandmother.
Ming Hao who saw that was also a strange feeling with Luciano's attitude. "You why? What are you looking for?" ming Hao asked with a tired face.
"That's, there was an old granny whispering something to me. Looks like he knows something about Mel. But where did the old grandmother go?" Luciano scratched his head that was not itchy from astonishment.
"Don't think too much about the old grandmother's words! He's a little crazy! He's always talkin', just ignore it!" sahut a tall man.
"Is that true, sir? That old granny is out of her mind?" luciano asked with a look that did not trust the middle-aged man who was before him.
"You see for yourself. From his appearance and attitude alone it was already strange like that. He always talks like that. SAVE HIM BEFORE HE GETS HURT. That sentence that all the citizens hated from the old grandmother. He always scares the guests who visit this village. Not really sane!" obviously a middle-aged man.
"Oh yes, sir. Thank you for telling us. Then we'll find my girlfriend somewhere else. We're sorry to disturb the citizens." Luciano smiled kindly before leaving the village.
However, for some reason his heart said that the old grandmother's words were like a signal. Could Mel be in the village? But, who is the one who is kidnapping Mel? Question after question began to strike Luciano's mind.
SERIATE....
