Handsome Detective
Part 92's

The day has gone morning. The couple had just woken up from their sleep. With great laziness, Erina moved her husband's arms that were still coiled around her stomach.

" Sister, wake up." said Erina with a distinctive hoarse voice waking up.

" Hmmm... What time is it...?" asked Arvan with eyes still closed.

" I don't know, but it seems to be noon." Erina replied.

" God, it feels so tired, so lazy to the office..."

" Yes, we're looking for Raka yuk...?" bring Erina.

" Okay, we take a shower and we keep going." said Arvan, holding his wife to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, they were already preparing to go look for Raka. When they opened the main door, the assistant was sitting on the terrace with a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

" Adam, you're still here...?" ask Arvan.

" I just got home, sir." replied Adam.

" Where?" ask Erina.

" I stayed at a friend's place last night..."

" You have a friend here...?"

" There, you think I'm a robot that doesn't have any friends..."

Arvan was furious with Adam's answer that seemed to ignore them.

" Hurry and finish your breakfast, we'll go now...!" arvan's orders.

" Where are you going, Mr...?"

" Where else? Find Raka, Adam...!" erina said, looking furious also with her Assistant behavior.

" No need to look, later also go home alone." said Adam relaxed.

" What do you mean...?!" shouted Arvan.

" Patience, Sir. It's just right that Raka does not want to go home, your attitude has no gentleness at all." said Adam relaxed.

" Your! Did you meet Raka...?" cecar Erina's.

" Sit down first, I want to talk well - not with you as subordinates but as friends..."

Erina relents and invites Arvan to sit opposite Adam.

" What do you want to say...?" said Arvan flat.

" Can't you guys think of Raka like a kid her age?"

" You mean what...?"

" I know he's a kid with above-average intelligence. But either way, he deserves to be treated like any other ordinary child..."

" What kind of treatment do you mean...?"

" Hhh.he needs trivial things like parents do to their children. For example, warm hugs and kisses when he will sleep or when he just woke up. Accompany as he studies and plays, bribe him while eating and other small things..."

" Raka can do everything on her own without anyone's help." Arvan argued.

" Right, his physique and mind did look strong. But... do you know how fragile the child's heart is...? He needs the attention and affection of his parents, not someone else." said Adam.

" Don't teach me that...!" exclaim Arvan.

" Adam, have you met Raka? Tell me where my son is." said Erina pleading.

" Yes, last night I stayed at Raka's new residence. He looked so happy there, surrounded by people who were very sincere about him..."

" Adam, I beg you. Get me to pick up Raka..." Erina started sobbing.

" No, Erin... Raka doesn't want to see you guys for now. He needs time to fix himself before he meets you..."

" I don't understand what you mean, Dam. What's wrong with Raka...?"

" Believe me, Raka's fine now. Pull all your men out to not look for Raka again..."

" But we want to meet him...?" Erina pleaded with her cries.

Adam knew this was all going to happen, he had already predicted what move he would take after this. Adam could not bear to see Erina's cry, even Arvan who usually looked cold and arrogant to the point of shedding tears.

" Okay, but only from far away. I promised Raka not to tell you where she lived. I hope you can understand Raka's decision." said Adam.

" Where did you meet...?" asked Arvan seriously.

" In the empty house next to Erina's house..."

" Does Raka live there...?" ask Erina.

" No, we accidentally met last night while stalking your house..."

" So Raka continues her investigation...?"

" Yes, now Raka can monitor the state of the house with the camera she installed in the area of the house. From now on, I'll focus the investigation with Raka, so don't make this whole mess up..."

Adam seemed to think for a moment as he finished the drink in his cup. She hoped that Raka would not be angry if she knew her parents were coming.

" Alright, but don't let Raka see you there or she'll never come back..."

Adam, Arvan and Erina immediately set off for Raka's new residence. The road looks narrow and densely populated.

" Dam, are you sure Raka lives in a place like this...?" asked Arvan in doubt.

" Yes, Sir. We'll be at our destination soon..."

" Why the place is like, Dam. You didn't have the wrong address, did you...?"

" No, Erin. The place is right here..."

Adam stopped his car at a place a little far from the home.

" Let's go down, you'll know what Raka's doing right now." said Adam.

Erina and Arvan follow Adam's steps with erratic thoughts until they stop at an orphanage.

" Adam, what are we here for...?" ask Arvan.

" Save your voice, look at the crowd of children in the yard..." Adam pointed out that some toddlers were playing in the yard.

" Sister, isn't that Raka...?" erina said in disbelief.

Arvan rounded his eyes to see his son playing with his peers.

" Dam, why would Raka be in a place like this...?"

" You see, Raka was laughing happily with her friends. Don't be corrupted by your selfish attitude..."

" But I miss Raka so much, Dam..."

" Already, we're leaving now before Raka finds out where we are here..."

Adam pulls Arvan's arm and Erina is still staring at her son from afar.

" Dam, I'm not gonna force her home. I just miss her." whine Erina.

" There will come a time when you meet, there are other things we should talk about right now..."

Adam forced his two masters into the car and immediately left the place. Along the way, they were silent with each other's minds. Without them knowing, Adam had parked his car in the lobby of Arvan's office building.

" Why are we in the office...?" arvan asked when he realized the car had stopped.

" Mister Ricko sent you your schedule today at the office, sir. There's another fifteen-minute meeting with the investors..."

" Huh..why not postponed first...!" grouse Arvan.

" Already, brother. We have also arrived here." said Erina.

Adam opens the car doors for his two superiors and immediately escorts them into the elevator to the CEO's special room.

" Please, Sir..."

Adam again opened the door of the room Arvan politely but looks assertive unlike when at home which always makes Arvan ride black.

Inside the room were Hans and Ricko waiting for their arrival. Arvan immediately sat in his big chair and grabbed the file Ricko proffered. There was no talk in the room even though there were five lives sitting there.

Meeting time arrives. Arvan, Ricko and Hans enter the meeting room while Erina and Adam wait in Arvan's room.

" Adam, may I see Raka.." whine Erina.

" Can't, Erin! I promised Raka not to tell you about her whereabouts." Adam refused.

" You don't know what it's like for a mother to be separated from her child...!"

" I know, Rin. Do you know how Raka feels right now? He won't even go home even though I've been working hard on persuading him..."

" why? Was he angry that brother Arvan was scolding him? I knew we were wrong and didn't take good care of Raka. But our affection for Raka is huge. We just don't want Raka to experience bad things while investigating Selly..."

" When the time comes, you will meet. Stop your crying. You're like a kuntilanak, don't stop crying.." ledek Adam.

" All because of you! If you'd let me meet Raka, I wouldn't have cried." said Erina infuriated.

" Can I tell you something? But you must promise not to be offended by my words..."

" Speak, I can never be angry with you. I know everything you say is always true when it comes to feelings..."

" I want you_..."
