Hold my hand, dear Forever
16. Anxious Half Dead

After leaving her husband's residence Andien went straight down the streets of the Complex in search of Maria.

" I'm sorry did you see my stepdaughter Maria?" ask Andien to his neighbor who was busy chatting with his other friend.

" So morning if I don't see it wrong, Maria took a taxi with her suitcase and backpack. I guess he'll go for a walk with Mrs Andien and Mr. Zaenal like always!" said his neighbor while smiling at Andin.

" No Ma'am! Maria didn't come with us because she said she was sick!" andin tried to smile at them.

" Aw bu Andien is now rife kidnapping children for sale of his organs. Hurry up, police officer Bu Andien, lest Maria be a victim of kidnapping too!" said another neighbor chimed in on Ms. Aaron's conversation.

" It's true Jeng! Well, now it's rife about kidnap. I was horrified to imagine that Jeng. I forbid my children to play away from home!" another word chimed in on his friend's conversation.

' Thank God that Mary was kidnapped and sold her internal organs. It's better if he dies so there's no need to dirty and disturb my life together with my husband and Rossa!' andien was feeling very upset.

" Just report to the police. It's almost night. It's a pity that Mary was actually kidnapped by bad people!" said Bu Aaron while staring at Andien who looked dreamy.

" Okay, my mothers, excuse me. Thanks infonya. I will report this to my husband and let him make the decision!" andien said as he put on his fake smile to his other neighbors.

' Thank goodness Maria was kidnapped by a bad person!' bathin Andien was delighted.

As soon as she reached the yard of her husband Andien immediately put on a look of sadness.

" I've been looking for Maria everywhere. Said the complex mothers, our neighbors. He said he saw Maria leaving our house with her suitcase and backpack. How is this Mas? Do not let Maria be the victim of child abduction who is now rife for the sale of human organs!" andien said with a face of false sadness in front of Zaenal.

Zainal breathed his breath out violently. Many times He kept scooping his face in frustration.

" If you treat my daughter well. It is impossible for such a small child to escape from your home!" tasya said fiercely.

" I'm sorry Tasya. Because I've been negligent in looking after Maria. I'll immediately report to the police for this loss. You don't worry Tasya. I can definitely find Maria and meet her with you!" zaenal said with a sad face and continued to look at Tasya, the woman he loved and missed.

' Is it true that you've remarried to Mas Bayu?' inner Zainal while continuing to look towards Tasya who is currently in Bayu's arms. His upperclassman.

" Dear, let's go home. It seems free we came here. Because your daughter is now running away from this house. Maybe because she couldn't stand the evil treatment of her stepmother. So that little boy would desperately run away from his own father's house!" said Bayu while glancing cynically at Andien who is currently putting a face of compassion and also sadness in front of them all.

" What do you mean to say that I'm an evil stepmother? I've always tried to treat Mary as well as my own daughter. You don't carelessly talk to Mas Bayu!" andien protest felt unacceptable with what Bayu said to him.

' How insolent is Bayu. How dare he say such a thing to Mas Zaenal. Good thing that night I didn't call her and tried to seduce her. Otherwise, now I would definitely be very embarrassed to face him! I did not expect that the woman****** could be the wife of a man as great as Mas Bayu! Somehow the woman***** was always lucky to always be surrounded by great men in her life!' inner Andien was envious of the good fortune that always approached Tasya.

' My fate is always unlucky. After painstakingly obtaining Mas Zaenal as my husband and seizing him from Tasya. Who knows, if it turns out the company even fell bankrupt. Now he only works as a regular staff in someone else's company. Even he had to give up to always go back and forth Jakarta and Jogjakarta only for salaries that are not as much as given by the company.' bathin Andin in his heart felt very upset with the misfortune of his life all this time.

' Even my parents are now bankrupt and have lost all their assets. Because of that I was forced to marry an old man who fathered Rossa! I thought he was a conglomerate but it turned out he was just a gambling player and a drunk who loved to spend his fortune at gambling tables and prostitutes. Until finally he really only became a burden to my life!' andien's mind while looking upset because he is currently imagining and recalling his past that feels so bitter and always a step behind Tasya who has been living with luck.

" Let's just go home, honey. We don't have to spend our time with people who don't respect us!" said Bayu while memapah Tasya's limp body instantly. Bayu knew very well that his wife was currently sad to learn that his best friend had tortured his daughter.

At the moment Tasya was really feeling sad. Because he gets the fact that it turns out that Zaenal's new wife is his own best friend. She felt sad because it was based on a story from Maria. That his best friend loved torturing his daughter.

Even he saw with his own eyes a lot of bruises and also lash injuries on his daughter's back which based on the story of Maria was the actions of Rossa and Andien who always tormented him when his ex-husband outside the city.

" From Andien's child's style of speech. I can judge that their bad deeds to Mary were not just a day or two. They must have done it for a long time. I don't accept Mas for their crimes we have to sue for acts of violence against my daughter. We can use this case to seize custody of Mas Zaenal who apparently can't arrange for his wife to be able to look after my daughter!" tasya said with a voice stuck in his throat.
