"Sophia picked up the phone first, Kek" said Sophia. He asked permission to pick up the phone from Alex's confidant.
Grandpa David nodded.
"Be careful Sophia" said Marisa's mother, who asked Sophia to slowly stand up because her stomach was big.
"Yes, ma'am" replied Sophia. Marisa's mother is very considerate and affectionate to Sophia even though she used to hate her very much. Sophia's kindness and sincerity melted her heart. Same with the others. Sophia is indeed a precious pearl for the Sebastian Family.
Sophia wake. Walk to the corner of the room. He picked up the phone from Alex's confidant.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Sophia said.
"Wa'alaikumsallam."
"What's the matter with calling?" ask Sophia. He wants to know why Alex's confidant called him. Rudi couldn't call him. This was her first time calling Sophia. Usually Rudi only chat thatpun if he asks his Boss for business.
"Alex's boss is missing." Rudi could not bear to tell the news. Sophia is pregnant. But this still has to be told to his family.

Sophia was shocked to hear from Alex's confidant. Like being struck by lightning during the day. Tears unwittingly dripped down Sophia's cheek. His heart is pounding. His body was limp and heated. Sophia riveted. Can't believe what he heard. It was as if everything was just a dream and Sophia wanted to wake up soon.
"Mom Boss! Boss Mom!" Rudi tried to call Sophia over and over again because Sophia did not give any response. She was worried about Sophia. What he said must have been painful news for him.
Sophia was still holding the phone in her ear. He's still quiet. Eyes glazed. I can't believe what Rudi said. Suddenly the news came out on television.
"Good afternoon brother, you watched the news of Neutral News TV. We will inform you about the big storm at Pangandaran Beach that causes high tide to the coast. Some houses on the coast are hit by tides of up to 2 meters. Dozens of people were declared missing ...."
Everyone in the room was shocked. Including Sophia who is still fixated on getting news from Alex's confidant. There was not a single word out of the pomegranate's red lips.
"Innalilahi wainnailaihi raji'un" said everyone in the room.
Everyone including Grandpa David, Mr. Ferdi, Ms. Marisa, Gavin, Maria, Mr. Matteo, and Claudya talked about the high tide disaster at Pangandaran Beach. They remembered Alex who said he went to Pangandaran Beach. They're all worried about Alex's safety. Moreover, the news reported that dozens of people were declared missing.
On the other hand Sophia was still sculpting. He was surprised twice. First word from Rudi. Second news from television. His body lost its power. Alex is in his heart and mind. Tears kept dripping down his cheeks. Scrolls of heart-wrenching pain fell on the floor. Tore up his dreams and happiness.
"Mom Boss! Boss Mom!" Rudi called Sophia back. He hasn't turned off his phone yet. There was something else he hadn't finished saying.
Everything was empty and silent in Sophia's shadow. As if time had stopped. All are motionless and invisible.
"I'll be back soon Sophia" Alex said. Eyes glazed.
"Yes Mas, until whenever I will wait for you, I will not leave before you return" Sophia said. Her tears dripped down her rosy cheeks.
The shadows of yesterday were replayed. Alex's smile, her voice, and her embrace were still felt. He could still feel her love and affection.
"Mas Alex, Mas ..," said Sophia.
Just got here Alex said he'd be back soon but in reality it's inversely proportional. Alex knows where he is.
"Mom Boss! Boss Mom!" Rudi tried calling again. He's getting worried about his boss' wife. He feels guilty but wants to do it again.
Instantly the reverie broke. Rudi's voice was heard back in Sophia's ear. Time turned back to the mortal world. Where Alex is declared missing by Rudi.
"We are trying to find Alex's boss, because he had left to rent a Jeep car to Pangandaran Beach" said Rudi.
"Why rent a Jeep?" ask Sophia. As she remembered, her husband took off in his Ferrari. Why rent a Jeep. Alex didn't tell him that either.
"Bos Alex wants all the streets to be more comfortable renting a Jeep car. In addition, the car is more suitable for terrain to Pangandaran Beach," replied Rudi. Explain why Alex chose to rent a Jeep car not to drive his car. In addition to the streets, he also knows the terrain to Pangandaran Beach is more suitable to use Jeep cars that are intended for difficult terrains.
Sophia pensive. Her chest felt tight thinking about her husband.
"So I called the Jeep driver hired by Boss Alex, he said it was only half the way Boss Alex got out of the car due to a total traffic jam" said Rudi.
"So where's my husband Rudi?" ask Sophia.
"I don't know Mrs Boss, Alex's cell phone is off. I asked the Jeep driver, he didn't know where Alex's boss was going. Whether to Pangandaran Beach or not," answered Rudi explained everything.
Sophia's tears came back down her cheeks. She was very worried about her husband. This morning he called. Alex still looks cheerful and romantic as usual now Sophia does not know where she is.
"Mom Boss! Boss Mom!" call Rudi who feels Sophia is sad.
"Yes" replied Sophia. His voice sobs crying.
"Me and the team will search for Boss Alex to the coast of Pangandaran Beach, pray for us to find Boss Alex soon" said Rudi.
"Yes, do your best. Please find my husband. Wherever he is hik hik hik ...," Sophia said. Sadness cannot be covered by it. She was very saddened by the loss of her husband.
"Okay, Boss" replied Rudi.
The phone call ended. Sophia was silent. Sculpting. His eyes. His spirit is declining drastically. Meanwhile, Sebastian's family talks about Alex and the news of the tide at Pangandaran Beach.
"Well, how is this Mas, where Alex to Pangandaran Beach hik .. hik .. hik ...," complained Mother Marisa while crying. Mr. Ferdi immediately embraced it.
"Please, we will find Alex, make sure he is safe," said Mr. Ferdi to calm Ms. Marisa who continued to cry from earlier.
"I'm afraid something happened to Brother Alex, I'm sorry why yesterday nyomelin he continues," said Claudya.
"Please, this is a test from God. Well, my father said we'd find your brother" said Mr. Matteo. He hugged Claudya who was saddened by the sad news.
"Astagfirullah, at a time like this, Sophia has to get a test" said Grandpa David. While massaging his forehead.
"Grandfather, don't mind much, your heart will recur again" Grandma Carroline said as she held Grandpa David's shoulder.
"Sophia's sister!" David remembered Sophia.
"Yes Sophia" answered the others. They just remembered Sophia was in the corner of the room to pick up the phone from Alex's confidant.
Everyone in the room woke up. Staring at Sophia who was still pecking at the corner of the room. Sophia looks pale, puffy and limp. Seeing that Gavin ran towards Sophia. They were afraid that Sophia would faint.
"Quick Gavin!" squeal Grandpa David.
Sophia's body was unable to stand anymore. He almost fell down, fortunately Gavin caught him immediately. The others approached Sophia.
