Don't Call My Name
The Lion that Continues

 Chapter 28.

“Kak can not be faster?” zara said to the salon employee who was handling it, “I have an important business.”

“But if you hurry later the results become less good, Kak,” reply the employee.

“Ngak papa, because I have to cepet go.”

The clerk sped up his work no matter Zara's hair was still a mess. Therefore, Zara asked him to tie it up to make it look more simple and neat.

On the way, Zara continued to mutter the name of Fasad. He was just afraid of anything happening to him because it was unusual - usually a Facade like this.

“You must have time to reply to notifications if you are free. But now—read my message was not, let alone pick up the phone. Though active. Facade ... You are exactly why?”

The place he first came to was his own home, because that was where the Fasad lived yesterday.

"I hope you're still there."

Without saying a greeting let alone parking his car properly, Zara just slipped in.

“Facade! Facade!” call it hard enough, then head to the top, “Fasad, where are you?”

Brak!

Zara opened the door to her room. But unfortunately, there is no Facade there even a small piece of his stuff.

“Where are you going?”

From behind, Bi Yati ran to meet her employer who had not come home for a week. “Non?”

Zara turned her head and asked, “Bi, Which facade, Bi? Which facade?”

“Mas Facade went home two days ago, Non,” replied immediately.

“Why didn't he tell me first?” said Zara mende legit disappointed, “what's the reason she came home, Bi? Not sending messages to me?”

“Ngak, Non. No message other than pamit aja.”

“So don't say when to come back here, so?”

“Mas Facade is just as good as Aibi. Keep going by taxi.”

“Ya already, please take care of the house yes, Bi. I want to go to Tia's mother's house. Later if the facade comes back here before I come, please tell me, yes. Use phone home aja.”

“Good, Non.”

Zara's back out. Started driving her car to her mother-in-law's house.

“There's-there's aja, yeah. Home wear does not say. Make me anxious to know, no.”

Twenty minutes later, Zara finally arrived in front of the house of Fasad's mother, Tia Rumana. After pulling the car over, Zara immediately got off to enter the house. But unexpectedly, the Mother-in-Law actually did not know that Fasad went from her home.

“Lah, said Bi Yati Fasad back home, Mom,” said Zara responded to his remarks which he said also did not know at all.

“But if you go home, it must be here. The hell of the time, I lied. Already contacted yet?”

“Already, but my message was not read, my call was not picked up. Weird, right, Ma?” Zara is confused to find herself where the Facade is. Not only had he reached here, he had also contacted his friends so that they would give him information if one of them saw the man.

"Zara said goodbye, looking for her again, ma'am."

"She's playing around, son, don't worry. I also turned back myself when I was bored. Biasalah, young people do like to wander."

"Our minds are different, ma'am."

🌺🌺🌺

Two days have passed since the mysterious disappearance of the Facade. Until now, there have been no signs of where the man is.

Zara is confused. He can no longer move, do anything else about work—because all this time, he always depends on Facade. Whatever his schedule is, wherever he goes.

Zara got out of her sleep, then wore a white top and blue light loose jeans. After solidifying his appearance with a little touch of makeup, he immediately went down, intending to go out to look for other places that Fasad used to visit.

Trings.

Cell phones ring a sign of incoming messages.

Mami: the gulai that Mami brought yesterday has not been eaten yet? Today what Zara wants to eat, let Mami masakin.

Zara: don't be fat, Mam. Zara was afraid to eat. Send me healthy food. Vegetable or fruit salad.

Mami: okay, Mami will be there again if your food order is ready. Happy activities, Mami's child, have a good day, baby.

“Ngak, Mam. This time my day was no fun. Like there was a part missing from my life after Facade left.”

Just as he closed the door, the phone rang again. This time it was a phone call from Kalila.

“Zar, where are you?” he said as soon as the call was connected.

“There is home. Wh why? Tumben you called,” replied Zara.

“Yes, this is important. I think you should know. Yesterday I heard Fasad again looking for apartment units.”

“See from whom?”

“Ardito.”

“Not really this. I asked him, and he said he didn't know.”

“Wah, if for the business, you should confirm directly with the same person.”

“Okay, thanks for the info, Kalila.”

After the call was closed, Zara immediately contacted Ardito. Coincidentally, the man also directly raised his call.

“Hai, Zara. Can anyone help?”

“Still know where Facade!”

“You can say it well, Zara.”

“I don't want to talk well with people who follow cover my husband's whereabouts!” gush with emotions that flow blood, “why are you lying? It's been two days that I've almost gone crazy looking for her, you know?!”

“Sorry, Zar. I actually had no intention of interfering. But for now I think he needs a lot of calm. Please don't disturb him for some time.”

“Where is he now?”

“Zara, plis... You do not be selfish...”.

“There are important things I should ask, To. I need to know why he's playing without him talking to me. Is he sick so he doesn't want to be disturbed? Or is he having the same problem as me? We have to finish it let all this clear.”

“Alright, if you insist," said Dito finally relented for the sake of women, "come to the apartment nuances. I'm waiting for you in lobby.”

Twenty minutes later, Zara arrived at the nuances. As Dito said just now, the man was waiting for him in the lobby.

“He is on the 21st floor,” Dito said delivering him to the floor. There was no talk of them in the elevator other than just the silence that created the wound. Referee with what really happened. Zara confusion. Why is his life so complicated? Problems that arise like never-ending—even quickly come before one by one he solved.

After arriving at the floor they were on, Dito knocked on the door. At first, the man asks Zara to step aside so Fasad thinks he's the only one with an interest in her. But after the door was opened and welcome to enter, Dito actually put the woman in it, then closed it from outside meetings.

“Solve your problems!” he shouted before leaving.

Now there are two people who are staring at each other.

Zara was full of questions.

And an inflamed Facade is like a lion that has been disturbed by its calm.

Zara thought Fasad was not okay.
