Arka returns Pandu's phone, after his call with Tiara is interrupted. Then he grabbed his own phone and directly contacted his men.
"Prepare the chopper, we're going to Labuan Bajo right now!" preach Arka and immediately decide the call before his men answer yes.
"Are you sure Ruby's in Labuan Bajo?" tanya Pandu, who had just been silent because he was upset to remember that Tiara was now with a man named Bima.
" There is no harm in trying to get there" said Arka.
"But if we go there, we also don't know where Ruby is, Ka,"
"Labuan Bajo is not too big a city. We searched all the hotels and inns there," said Arka who this time looks more optimistic.
Guide to silence for a while, because you are thinking hard. "But, in my opinion, I don't think they brought Ruby to stay at the hotel or at the inn. I don't know why I'm sure he rented a house for her,"
Arka was silent and nodded her head, feeling that what Pandu said was quite reasonable.
"Well, whatever it is, we're leaving right now," Arka was just about to step up, but she paused because her phone suddenly sounded from the father.
"Hello, Pa!" sapa Arka, while returning to continue his steps, followed by Pandu.
"Have you found any trace of Ruby?" there was Adijaya's voice from the other end.
"Actually not yet, Pa. But we got word, most likely Ruby went to Labuan Bajo. Now we're going there,"
"Labuan Bajo's? well, hopefully you can find Ruby there" said Adijaya expectantly. "Oh yeah, do you know who is behind this?" adijaya again.
"We don't fully know yet, but we suspect that the mastermind is Jelita's father and older brother. Because Jelita once told me that she had an older sister named Juno," explained Arka while getting into the car because they had arrived at the parking lot.
The car then drove at high speed, towards the runway where their helicopter was located.
"Papa and Jelita's sister?" heard Adijaya muttering. " It turns out that now Jamal has started his act of revenge. Papa never thought that this would happen" said Adijaya, ambiguous and mysterious.
"I mean Papa? does Papa know Jelita's father?" Arka knitted her two eyebrows.
"Of course Papa knows. He's Papa's old best friend and has a long-standing grudge against Papa. Because in the past, when you were a child, Papa once kicked him out of the company, for committing enormous corruption. Papa fired him without giving him a chance at all. For that reason, when you knew Jelita was his daughter, Papa did not agree that you would marry him. Papa is afraid, the Jamal uses Jelita later to make our company destroyed," explained Adijaya at length.
"Why didn't you tell me this whole time?" arka's voice was slightly raised.
"Because you were stupid for love. If Papa told you, would you recede? papa sure doesn't. You're definitely going to keep it because papa knows your nature,"
Arka was speechless hearing her Papa's words, not refuting at all.
"Now, you don't have to think about that anymore. What matters now, bring your son-in-law and three grandchildren safely. Remember, you must remain vigilant, given that Jamal turned out to have a dark business, buy and sell weapons illegally and have an online gambling business. He must have had a lot of men. So, to prevent something from happening, you should not be rash and prepare carefully," said Adijaya, reminding.
"Good, Pa!" sahut Arka while getting out of the car because now they have arrived on the runway of the helicopter.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Morning has come. The morning mentor seemed to smile greeting the city of Labuan Bajo.
Ruby opened her bedroom window and looked at the beauty of the beach. However, he felt that the beach was not at all beautiful because now he was thinking hard how to get away from Juno.
Ruby turned around and looked at her three sons and daughters who were still asleep in her sleep.
"Yeah, God how am I supposed to get out of here? poor kids!" ruby moaned, staring at the three babies.
Ruby suddenly smelled the aroma of cooking, which seemed to come from the kitchen.
"Why is there a smell of cooking? who's cooking? it can't be Juno, right?" ruby stepped out of the room.
Ruby frowned, when she saw a middle-aged woman who was seriously struggling in front of the stove.
"Who are you?" ruby asked, making the woman squeamish in shock.
"Pardon-sorry, Mom. I was asked by Mr. Juno to do homework, including cooking," the woman said politely after her shock subsided.
"What is this Mom, Ruby's Mom?" the woman returned.
"There's no more power, ma'am. It's done" the woman replied with a smile on her lips.
Ruby circulated her gaze, wobbly to make sure of the situation.
"Mom, can I ask you a favor?"ruby asked very quietly, which was almost the same as whispering.
"What is that, Mom? if I can I'll help?" the face of the middle-aged woman in front of Ruby looked seriously at Ruby.
"What, you got a cell phone? can I borrow it for a minute? because my phone last night accidentally soaked in water. Though I want to contact my brother in Jakarta," said Ruby with eyes still looking around, afraid Juno came suddenly. As far as he knew, the hotel Juno was staying at was not far from where he was staying.
"Oh, of course you can, ma'am. But sorry the phone is ugly," the woman gave her phone while grinning.
"Oh, it's okay! the important thing is that it can still be worn, but, is this the pulse?" ask Ruby.
"Oh, there's no, Mom. I just happened to activate the call package. So, you can wear it as much as you can" said the woman, without removing her smile.
"Then I borrow it, and I go back for a second, Mom!" Ruby stepped towards the back, after the middle-aged woman nodded her head.
Arriving at the back, Ruby looked back again, making sure Juno did not come.
After feeling safe, Ruby finally pressed Arka's number which she happened to have remembered.
Meanwhile, somewhere, precisely in a hotel Arka and Pandu are getting ready to go back out, to do a search after a night of results that they can be nil.
Arka's phone suddenly rang and Arka squinted her forehead, because the number she was contacting was not listed in her contact. Arka tried to ignore the call and put it back in her pocket. However, his phone went off again and that was up to three times.
"Jawab first, Ka. Maybe it's very important" said Pandu.
"Nothing is more important than Ruby at the moment" Arka said, declining Pandu's request.
"But, there's no harm in you answering the phone first," Pandu remained steadfast.
"All right!" Arka finally pressed the answer button.
" Hello, who is this?" said Arka in a cold tone.
"You finally answered the phone, Mas. It's me Ruby," Ruby's voice sounded from the other end in a frightened tone.
"Ruby ! where are you, honey?" pekik Arka that makes Pandu suddenly enthusiastic to hear.
"Help me and the kids, Mom. I was lied to by that man. She turns out to be Jelita's sister who wants revenge on you. Forgive me, who doubted you," Ruby was heard crying.
"You calm down, honey. Now where are you. Pandu and I are already in Labuan Bajo looking for you. Are you right in this town?"
"Yes, I'm in Bajo's lab. Exactly in __"
"It turns out you already know my plan!" suddenly there was the sound of a man snapping from the other end, which could be ascertained if it was Juno.
"Ruby, Honey! you why? RUBY!" yelled Arka, panicked.
"Suck!" Arka was about to throw the phone, lucky Pandu directly prevent.
"Don't throw the Ark. That call could help us track down Ruby's whereabouts.
Arka took a deep breath trying to calm down, although it was very difficult considering Ruby was now in danger..
With the cleverness she had, Arka was finally able to find the place from where Ruby contacted her.
"It's not too far from here, we have to move quickly!" set the Arka firmly.
"All right! but before, we have to make careful preparations, as Om Adi said," Pandu then contacted his men who he happened to bring along as well as Arka did the same.
"Come, hunt! I'm afraid we're late!" arka exclaimed as she ran out.
