HATE Before LOVE
You're Where?

Ardan and Teddy just got out of the traffic control center and the city cctv, after 3 hours there but to no avail. They found no trace of Elif. Of the thousands of CCTVs, no one has captured the whereabouts of Elif anywhere. They had gone to every nearby mosque and mosque that allowed Elif to hide from his father and ask for help. But no one, people around there saw the woman described her characteristics by Ardan and Teddy said that the woman ran towards there, there, there and there. There is no convincing place. It makes Ardan even more frustrated.

"Where are you Elif? Where're you?" ardan was feeling desperate. Perhaps this was the first time in his life Ardan felt helpless and hopeless.

"We can definitely find Miss Elif, sir" Teddy said.

"How many people have we sent to find Elif? How many cctv did we check? How many hours has this been? Any sign of us finding Elif?" Ardan squeezed his own hair. "His leg was even injured, how far could he run, Ted? Oh my..."

"Do we have to go to Mona and Yura's house, sir? Who knew Miss Elif decided to be in one of her best friend's houses?"

"Right, right, we're there. Do you know their address?"

"I'll be looking for him soon, sir." Teddy pulled out his phone, contacted someone. And in less than ten minutes, Teddy has got Mona and Yura's address. They immediately moved towards Yura's house first.

Fifteen minutes later Teddy and Ardan arrived at Yura's large residence, just as they stopped in front of the gate, Yura's car arrived. The chubby girl immediately came down to Ardan and Teddy who came out of the car.

"Sister Ardan? Mr Teddy? What's up?" yura asked after asking the driver to come in first with his car. "Where's elif?" Yura search.

Hearing Yura who is looking for Elif, then it can be concluded Yura does not know what has happened to her best friend. Of course it made Ardan desperate and even more worried.

"What's up, brother?" yura asked again, so he panicked to see Ardan's expression.

"Elif is missing." answered Ardan briefly.

"What's? Gone off? Lost how?"

"I don't know either. Elif and Mr. Yanuar something happened that made Elif run away from home." replied Ardan. "Well, can you help me where Elif usually runs away or if she's alone?"

Yura shook her head. "Elif is not the type of person who will run away from home even though his father nagged him for no reason" replied Yura who became concerned. "I'll ask Papa for help to find Elif too."

"Alright, thank you Yura. We're going to Mona's place now."

"I don't think Elif is going to Mona's, because if Elif's there I'll know, because Mona and I just got off campus."

"Ugh!" Ardan rubbed his face rough. "Where should I look for you again, Elif?!"

Ardan hit the air in frustration. His mind had bounced everywhere thinking of injured Elif and other negative things, especially until now the existence of Kinan had also not been found. Or maybe...

"Todd!"

"Yes, Sir?"

"Kinan! What if Kinan finds Elif? How about.. argh! I'm gonna kill them! I'll kill them!" Ardan got into the car.

"Sorry Miss Yura, we have to go. Please help too."

"L-yes sir, I will definitely look for Elif as well. But who's Kinan?"

"I'm sorry Miss, we have to leave immediately." Teddy got into the car and the next second Ardan left the location.

"My God Elif, where are you?" Yura pulled out her phone, she immediately contacted Mona. After a short story, Yura immediately contacted her Papa. At least Papa Yura has people who can be asked for help to find his best friend.

"We're going to Kinan's, Ted!" Ardan's Order.

"But the house is empty, sir. Neither did his neighbors see Kinan anymore."

"Argh, shit! Where should we look for him?!"

"Stranquil sir, calm down."

"Of course not, sir. But we should also keep a cool head and keep a positive mind, sir."

"Don't teach me!" Jerky Ardan.

"Sorry Sir."

The car continues to go at high speed in the style of the film The Transporter. The negative thoughts about Elif being kidnapped by Kinan continued to mill around Ardan's head, making the man even more panicked, worried, scared, anxious, frustrated and desperate. Plus the people he had been paying to find Kinan had not been able to give good news at all. And now the Elif is gone. Not a single CCTV captured the whereabouts of Elif. Is this natural? Is it at this time that Ardan can remain calm? While his beloved woman is out there with a wounded physical condition, Elif was not long out of the hospital that requires him to rest, and psychopaths are still not found.

Lord. I beg you to protect Elif. Protect him wherever he is, Lord. I believe You are the Greatest Protector. Please God, protect Elif, keep away from all those who will do evil to him. I beg you... Lord...

Suddenly the phone sounded. A number he had just saved a few hours ago while in the traffic control center and cctv, a name he knew as the name of one of the staff was on his phone screen.

"Yes?" Ardan received the phone call.

"Good day, sir. We just got a picture of the physical characteristics of the woman you were looking for" the staff said.

"really?" Ardan straightened his seat, despite being obstructed by the seatbelt. "You found him?"

"Maybe yes, maybe not. We will send some pictures of this cctv recording to you, you can directly see and confirm back to us."

"Good, fine! Hurry send!"

"Okay sir, please wait." Without having to disconnect the phone call, the staff asked another colleague to send him CCTV footage they thought was of a woman in Ardan's search. "Okay, sir, we sent it."

"Well, I'll take a look." replied Ardan. "I'll confirm it again right or not."

"Good Sir."

The phone connection was also cut off.

Teddy who is actually also curious, can only be silent but still listen to what Ardan does while still focusing on driving like Frank Martin.

Ardan opened the vidio shipment that he received from the traffic control center staff and CCTV, where the vidio that Ardan received not one, but three vidio.

The first Vidio, featuring the backdrop of a parking lot, where a scooter motorcycle was just parked by its owner. The motorcyclist was tall wearing jeans and keds, as well as a hoodie sweater. He took off his helmet which then revealed long curly hair. After that he was seen opening his backpack to pick up a hairpin. Clamping her hair, the woman walked away from her motorcycle. But soon he came back again, because he forgot to pull the key.

"It's not Elif!" Ardan shifted his screen to see the next vidio.

The second Vidio, showing the setting of a garden. Where initially the park was empty, then there was a woman wearing a home negligee, with her hair curly megar, carrying a toddler with a sling, with a sling, she brought a small bowl which then while moving her baby in her cradle, the woman fed the toddler painstakingly.

"This isn't an Elif either!"

The last Vidio, is a CCTV that is at a crossroads. Then the tares of the vehicle became the opening of the third vidio until then appeared a woman with tattered clothes camping, curly hair tangled and messy, she did not wear footwear, her face dirty, dirty, then it is seen laughing suddenly, the next second crying, and the next second he dances. Ballet dancing alone on the sidewalk.

"What the fuck! Do they think Elif is ODGJ??!" Omel Ardan's. "There's no hope, Ted! This isn't all Elif!"

Ting! Tungs! Incoming message notification sound. It was from the same number.

[We send again, one video that has just been caught by CCTV sir, please check.]

One more vidio received Ardan.

The fourth Vidio, an entrance of a building that looks familiar to Ardan. At first it was just people passing by, until finally he saw a woman, petite in a big shirt, knee-length shorts, not wearing footwear, and her hair was perfectly curly, her face invisible, she said, he ran inside the door of the building. But there is something strange, Ardan repeated the vidio where the woman ran. The woman was seen limping while running, and she left like a bloodstain on the surface of the road she was walking through.

Suddenly his heartbeat raced, Ardan immediately contacted the traffic control to ask the location of the last vidio. The staff told him the address of the location, was the back door of an apartment building that was none other than Ardan's apartment building. It's worth looking familiar to Ardan.

"TED WE GO HOME TO THE APARTMENT NOW!"

Teddy who understands the attitude and nature of his boss, immediately turned on the penny lamp, looking for a turning round to be able to quickly slide towards the apartment where Ardan lives.
