" May you be well, dear.." - Inner Erina.
" Why are you holding Arvan to leave? Aren't you two used to it...?" ask William.
" No idea, brother. I just felt that something made this heart not calm when I set foot in the airport earlier. I feel bad, like something's about to happen a bad thing..."
" Don't be so prejudiced, it's just your feeling of being away from your husband..."
" Easy - I hope Erin's hunch is wrong, brother. Erin's sure Arvan's brother must be okay..."
Erina clutched tightly onto Raka's body in her lap which was now asleep. He gently rubbed his son's hair so that it is more comfortable in his sleep.
An hour later, Erina was home. William helps her to carry Raka up to the room.
" I go home first, if there's anything, let's get in touch. I'm 24 hours standby for you guys." William said.
" Thank you, brother. You're in every place I need help and a friend..."
" Same, take a break. There's a lot of work in the office tomorrow..."
" I think Willy's brother has forgotten about the office business, busy dealing with murder, kidnapping, mafia.." Erina said.
" Isa. you are, I am only doing the work of Mr. Sebastian. Actually since there are you who take care of the office, my work becomes lighter. Especially now that there is Raka helping my work, it feels like eating a blind paycheck." William said with a laugh.

At ten in the evening London time, William was watching television for not being able to sleep while his son and wife were already asleep when he came home from Erina's house.
While watching the news on one of the national television channels, William was very surprised because the news was live breaking news.
" Is this news true...?" William gumam.
In the news stated that a plane, a London-Indonesia flight had an accident and crashed on the high seas.
" God, I hope Arvan is not on that plane." William said.
William immediately contacted his men to find information about the plane crash. While William, he rushed straight to Mr. Sebastian's house.
Mr. Regan Sebastian's residence is already deserted. Only the night guards were still on standby at the gate. After honking his car, a guard opened the gate.
" Mister William, is there a problem? I'm sorry, I don't know if anything happens inside..."
" No, I have business with Mr. Regan..."
William went inside the house and knocked quietly on Mr. Sebastian's bedroom door. After knocking on the door a few times, it turns out that Sarah's mistress has appeared.
" I'm sorry, ma'am..I interrupted your break the night like this." said William politely.
" It's okay, Willy. There must be something important until you come this late..."
" I'm sorry, ma'am.I'm actually here to bring bad news..."
" What's up? About work...?" ask Mrs Sarah.
" No, Madam. We'd better talk in the living room with Mr and Miss Rissa..."
" Okay, I'll wake my husband up first. You just go straight to Rissa's room, usually she hasn't slept at this hour..."
" Good, madam..."
William hurried up to the second floor towards Erina's room. The door was repeatedly slapped, but there was no word. William tried to turn the door handle and it was unlocked. Erina looked asleep hugging Raka.
William was hesitant, but he had to do it because it was so important. Erina must immediately know Arvan's current state.
" raisa... Rissa... wake up...!" william said slowly.
William shook Erina's shoulder gently so that the woman would wake up quickly.
" Hmmm..." Erina just squirmed and went back to sleep very comfortably.
" Absolute Clarissa...! Wake up...!" shouting William.
Erina was shocked to hear the voice of the person who was shouting to her.
" Aakkhhh...! Brother Willy.." cried Erina.
" Wake, hurry! The Master and Madam are waiting downstairs..."
" What's wrong, brother...?" erina asked half-consciously.
" Wash your face there first, and change your neat clothes. We'll be leaving soon..."
" gone? Go where...?"
" Don't ask too many questions, just do it. I'm waiting downstairs..."
William could already guess what would happen next. Erina will definitely force to come with him to the airport after knowing the bad news that befell Arvan. She did not want Erina to look messy in the short pajamas she wore.
Erina immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face and change her clothes. He looked at the mirror in front of him thinking of William's words.
" Now my feelings can be calmer like they were at the airport. Maybe Arvan's brother is fine on his way. So can't wait to see her again." murmured Erina with a smile.
" Sister Willy, where are we going...?" erina asked after sitting next to William.
William took a deep breath - deep and then exhaled slowly. He was looking for the right word so as not to make the atmosphere more panicked.
" Look, I don't know what the details are yet but there's bad news that I have to tell you." Willy said slowly.
" What bad news? Quickly tell us...!" said Mr. Regan.
" Mmm. The plane that Arvan was on crashed and crashed in the open ocean..."
" What...! No way, you must be lying...!" yell Erina.
" Willy, you don't joke...!" hardik Lady Sarah.
" No, ma'am..a must now be many television stations broadcasting it..."
William grabs the remote and turns on the television to look for the latest update.
" God..this is impossible.." said Erina.
Erina's body weakens and falls in William's arms. Similarly, the mistress Sarah who was crying in the arms of her husband.
" Sister, I should have been able to prevent Arvan's departure. Why won't he listen to me...?" Erina kept sobbing.
" Be calm, we pray that Arvan will be safe." comfort William.
" Why should he go, brother...!"
" Of course, you need to calm down. I am now going to the airport for more detailed information. You wanna come or stay home...?"
" I'm coming, brother..."
" I will also go there." said Mr. Regan.
" No, Mister... You and the lady should stay home. Raka don't tell me about this. You have to stay calm and take care of your health." William said.
" Alright, keep me updated on the latest information..."
" Yes, Sir. Some of my men are already at the airport..."
After saying goodbye, William and Erina immediately left for the airport. Erina continued to cry out for herself who could not persuade Arvan to delay her departure to Indonesia.
" Don't cry on, Rissa. We have to be sure that Arvan will survive." said William.
" Erina's afraid of losing Arvan's sister..."
" Arvan's not leaving so soon, trust me..."
" I hope so too, brother. I will not be able to part with him..."
An hour later, they arrived at the airport. The men assigned there immediately welcomed the arrival of William and Erina.
" There's the latest information...?" ask William.
" Yes, Sir. Last information, the plane was destroyed and it is certain that no passengers survived. If there is, it is a miracle." replied one of William's men.
" No...! Brother Arvan can't leave me...!" grin Erina.
" Be calm Erina, this is all just a guess. We can't give up until we see the body in person..."
" Brother Arvan, don't leave me..." Erina was on the floor.
" Rissa, don't be like this. Strengthen your hearts for Raka and Arvan's parents..."
William clenched tightly onto Erina's extremely weak body. Although in her small heart Erina said that Arvan was fine, but the fact that the plane she was riding crashed and destroyed made Erina's confidence began to falter.
" Sister Arvan, I'm sure you'll survive. Endure for all of us who love you." - Erina.
" Erina, we'd better go home. You need enough rest, tomorrow we'll come back here to find the latest information..."
" But, sis_..."
" Believe me, everything will be fine..."
Erina complies with William's invitation to go home because the night is getting late. William doesn't want Erina to get sick from lack of rest and a lot of thought.
There was no conversation on the way home because Erina was just daydreaming with a blank look. His heart felt hollow, like half of his soul had disappeared.
" You promised you'd come back, I'm sure you'd come back..."
