Dilemmas
The Grief of Malika

Moetia called Bagas again. He stayed away from Soraya and Malika.

Moetia came out and contacted Bagas on the porch of her house.

"Hello Bagas" said Moetia quickly.

"Do you think Marvin kidnapped Manda?" ask Moetia.

"Moetia, what do you mean? why did Marvin kidnap Manda?" ask Bagasbalah.

"Come, but that's what I think! what if it's true?" ask Moetia.

"Well, I'm gonna talk about this with Benjamin and Dad, anything is possible. But Moetia, I ask you never to act alone huh, remember I will always be there for you!" exciting Bagas.

Moetia smiled.

"I know!" moetia.

"Moetia!" call Aries who just came home.

Moetia turned her head and immediately turned off her cell phone call.

"Father!" he then shook his papa.

"Have you heard about Manda?" moetia asked Aries.

Aries embraces Moetia and invites her into the house.

"Not yet, but the taxi driver said that he had delivered her to the studio to where she was going to go, most likely when Manda was kidnapped after arriving at the studio!" obviously Aries.

"And what were you doing out there alone?" ask Aries.

"I'm calling pa! someone who might be able to help us find Manda!" answer Moetia.

Aries rubbed Moetia's head gently.

"Don't worry son, we'll definitely find him" Aries said calmly.

The two of them then went to the middle room where Soraya and Malika were.

Aries has explained everything that happened to them.

Aries has also asked his lawyer and police friend to investigate CCTV footage outside the studio.

"So how long are we gonna know about the tape?" ask Soraya.

"Calm down, they're going there. Maybe in a few hours!" aries replied very calmly.

Malika is still crying, they have also told Ahmad this news. But Aries asked Ahmad not to worry because Aries will try as much as possible to find Manda.

Soraya also continued to strengthen Malika. They even missed dinner.

The night is getting late, Soraya still continues to accompany Malika in her room. And Aries also still continues to communicate with his friends who are looking for the existence of Manda.

The next day, Moetia went to Malika's room to see her tantic state.

"For ma, Auntie!" greet Moetia approached Soraya who was putting a blanket on Malika.

"Ma, Aunt Malika..."

"Your aunt is not feeling well, Mama called the doctor. Honey please take care of your aunt first. I have to prepare breakfast for Papa!" said Soraya.

"Good ma!" answer Moetia quickly.

Moetia sat on the edge of the bed and massaged Malika's hands.

"Don't worry, I'm sorry Auntie always bothers you and your papa mama!" malika is sad.

"It's okay Auntie, we're family. Auntie don't worry papa and Bagas are trying to find Manda's whereabouts!" moetia.

"Republica?" ask Malika not to believe.

Moetia nodded her head quickly.

"Yes, I told her about Manda's disappearance and possible kidnapping. He said he was willing to help us, Auntie!" moetia.

Malika commented a faint smile on her lips.

"You're so good Moetia, Auntie doesn't mean to compare you to Manda, but if you're not spoiled and stubborn, maybe Bagas can also be friends with her like Bagas can be your friend, right Moetia?" ask Malika.

Moetia looked up and then smiled clumsily at Malika.

"Tante has repeatedly reminded Manda that love cannot be forced, but she still stubbornly wants to be Bagas' mistress. Aunty can not imagine her life later if married to a person who does not care at all. Manda doesn't even care about Bagas' feelings, what if Bagas loves someone else. Will not both of their lives suffer!" lamented Malika.

Malika clasped into Moetia's two hands.

"You're close enough to Bagas, right? do you know anything? does Bagas like other women?" ask Malika.

Malika's question made Moetia's throat dry and suffocated.

Moetia smiled clumsyly again.

"Tante, why is Aunt asking me that?" reply Moetia.

Malika let go of Moetia's hand and looked at the photo of Manda on the table beside her bed.

"They were engaged, but Bagas never even picked up a phone call from Manda." lamented Malika.

"Aunties can't imagine their home life later if they get married! Even so, Auntie could not stop Manda either. You know for yourself, Moetia, how many times did he harm himself just to get the attention of Bagas? what should Auntie do Moetia?" ask Malika who has started to get emotional.

Moetia gently stroked Malika's arms and shoulders.

"Aunty, yes already." said Moetia softly.

Malika can no longer hold back her tears.

"During this time Aunt and Om tried to teach kindness to Manda, we always exemplify that every one of us doing good never expect let alone ask for a reply. But it turns out that all of that can not be understood by Manda." said Malika in between Isak crying.

"Tante, already. Manda is young now. When he grows up, he will understand!" moetia.

"You are the age of Moetia, you are twenty-five years old, you are all grown up. Aunty was afraid, if the people had started to get upset at Manda, they would have left Manda!" lamented Malika again.

Moetia could only remain silent as she stroked the back of Malika's hand which was telling her grievances about her eldest daughter.

Moetia did not not understand what Malika meant, but she did not want to interfere in their family affairs too deeply. Although it has been considered a family of internal problems still he does not want to mix it.

Shortly after, the doctor came and examined Malika. After giving him breakfast and medicine. Malika also rested.

A moment after Soraya and Moetia came out of Malika's room. Moetia's phone rang, there was an incoming message.

*Come to the xxx warehousing area an hour from now, we're watching you! don't share this message with others and put your phone in the window in front of you! otherwise your best friend will lose his future!*

That's the message from the unknown number. Moetia looked around.

'He even watches over me! what am I supposed to do?' inner Moetia anxious.

Moetia just kept quiet while thinking, she wanted to send the message to Bagas. Suddenly, a message came in again.

*Don't fuck around, leave that phone in the window in front of you, now! or you'll never meet your best friend!*

Moetia quickly put her phone in front of the window. He rushed out of the house.
