FLASHBACKS
Fourteen years ago,
School holidays have arrived. Ayra is on vacation to the town of M where Arya's grandfather is on duty. Ayra is very happy to be in this city and with her grandparents. Ayra wants to spend her vacation time with them. Because Dad is still working, Ayra is entrusted to her grandparents while Daddy and Mommy return home.
That morning, the atmosphere was welcoming morning. The sky is in a cloudy fog. Even the sunlight covered in darkness was cloudy. Little Ayra who did not mind the cloudy weather that morning was still fun playing. Grandma took Ayra to go to the traditional market to buy vegetables. Of course Ayra was very happy to be able to walk out of the house.
“Remember Ayra, don't go all the way from grandma huh?”aisyah's grandmother's message while gently rubbing Ayra's head
“Iya nek”sahut little Ayra
Both walk into traditional markets that have been built more modern. The two joined hands with smiles that continued to be etched on her beautiful face. Accompanied by a female aide, the grandmother invited Ayra to buy some fresh vegetables in the traditional market.
“This is how much bu?”grandma asked while pointing at the fresh vegetables that were in front of her.
His hands were busy flipping through the vegetables that had been neatly bound in one vegetable tie. Bargain bids and light conversations between buyers and traders roll in.
“Pus.”
“Meong”
Ayra's eyes sparkled as she looked at a cute kitten not far from where she was standing. Due to her great sense of urgency, Ayra was eager to hold onto the adorable looking petite cat. Unknowingly, Ayra had walked away from the grandmother who was still busy sorting and choosing vegetables.
“Pus.”
“Meong”
The little cat walked away. Make Ayra follow the cat on. And after being nearby, Ayra crouched down and picked up the little cat. Ayra rubbed the little cat gently. Ayra did not realize that nearby had stood some sangar-faced men who were eyeing her.
When Ayra raised her head, Ayra was shocked to see that some men with a faint smile on her face were walking over to her. Instantly fear burst into Ayra's heart. Ayra wanted to run but as fast as lightning one of the men immediately grabbed her tiny body and smothered her mouth.
“Hhmmmppp”’
“Please..please!”yelled Ayra in the heart
Ayra wanted to scream with all her might but the big hand of the man had already smothered her mouth so that not a word could be said. Ayra's eyes were glazed. Her petite body continued to rebel wanting to escape from the group of unknown men.
“Shut up! Otherwise I'll hurt you!”threaten the man
Ayra wasn't listening. He keeps on revolting. He realized that he had now been kidnapped by an unknown person. He should be able to escape.
“This child is a hassle”seru man who has smothered Ayra
“Dukk”
The man hit the nape of little Ayra to make Ayra faint.
“Nah..kalo like this would be calmer”
“Quick! We get in the car before anyone sees”
“OK..Okay.”
The men walked quickly to a parked car. Because the hallway where Ayra was kidnapped was very quiet, then no one saw Ayra taken away the kidnappers. Apparently they are child abductors who are commonly involved in human trafficking or human trafficking. They usually target children who are separated from the supervision of their parents. Children who roam alone without adult supervision around him. As was Ayra.
Meanwhile at the market, the grandmother who had finished shopping, only realized Ayra was not nearby.
“Santi, where is my grandson?”ask grandma in a panic voice
His eyes looked around the stall that was nearby. Grandma panicked half to death as Ayra suddenly disappeared from her sight.
“Santi, where is my grandson?”
“Ayra..Ayraaa”show grandma panic
Making everyone who saw the panic of grandma come closer, and ask grandma.
“My grandson.My grandson is gone”tap grandma with a vibrating voice
“What does mother's grandchild look like?”ask the others
“Mother sit first”ask a mother seller while sitting a grandmother who is panicking and trembling.
Grandma's female adjutant, Santi, keeps trying to find Ayra's whereabouts.
“Nona Ayra, where are you?”santi muttered inwardly worried about the young lady.
The atmosphere of the market became a little gripping due to the disappearance of Ayra. Some security officers and hansip who served in the traditional market also helped find Ayra. The sad grandmother kept crying over Ayra. Grandma was sad because she had lost Ayra.
A few minutes later, Grandfather helped some of his men come to the market. Seeing uniformed soldiers enter the market, made the people in the market so frightened. Ayra's grandfather immediately took her to the information office in the market to keep her away from the crowd, and to calm her down a bit.
Inside the office, an officer gave Grandma a glass of warm tea.
“Minum this”ucap grandpa on grandma
Grandfather immediately stood up and faced the female aide who was already in charge of escorting his wife and granddaughter.
“Say! How's chronology?”asked grandfather in a firm voice restraining his anger.
A female adjutant named Santi then began to tell the chronology of the disappearance of Ayra. All told without being added or subtracted.
“How can you not pay attention to my grandson?”gritting Aryan's grandfather was full of anger
“I'm sorry Commander”ucap Santi while bowed lethargic for being negligent in his duty
Grandpa clenched his hands tightly. His heart was very sad because it had lost Ayra.
“Command all troops to come find my grandson”grandfather's orders
“Ready Commander! Carry out”
One by one the grandfathers searched all over the market looking for the whereabouts of the Major General's grandson.
Grandpa came back to his wife and clasped his hand.
“Kalo Ayra why-why how?”ask grandma with a sob
Grandpa immediately embraced the body of his wife who still looks very shocked because she has lost her favorite grandson.
“Quiet! We will definitely find Ayra”ucap grandfather trying to calm his wife.
“Ayra darling..Where are you going dear?”grumbled grandfather in the heart
“We must contact Aldi. She should know Ayra's missing”ucap granny
“We search first. I hope Ayra meets soon. Pray that Ayra will be okay”sahut grandpa
Grandfather did not want to contact the child and his son-in-law about the news of Ayra's loss because it would make both of them very worried.
“We'd better go home. Let my men find Ayra. You rest at home. We wait for news about Ayra at home just”ajak grandfather
Grandma nodded slowly. Because his body is still limp, making grandmother not strong to walk. Grandpa finally let Grandma leave the market. Grandpa got his wife into the car.
“Ayra..where are you nak?”granny muttered in her heart with tears while staring out the car window staring at the market where she invited Ayra.
“If I don't take Ayra to the market, surely Ayra won't be missing”sesal grandma
His heart was so sad because his invitation to the market actually made the little girl disappear somewhere.
“Already! Don't blame yourself! All this is a disaster. No one expected all this to happen. We should pray a lot that Ayra soon found”ucap grandfather trying to calm his wife who continues to feel guilty.
