I Found Love With You
151. Disappeared

“Where are you, A?” asked Sadiyah when she saw Kagendra move. He was disappointed that Kagendra had stopped spitting on his legs.

“You go outside for a minute. Find food. From this morning, Aa only drank tea and bread. Now it feels hungry.”

Sadiyah laughed at Kagendra's words. Poor her husband had not eaten from morning. Must be hungry.

“Oh yes, A. Aras and Aris have been told yet?”

“Tuh right, Aa forgot to also tell Aras and Aris that their sisters have been born.”

“Tomorrow just Aras and Aris kesininya,” said Sadiyah.

“Siap, Boss. Aa phone first Aras and Aris outside.”

Alena and Atep stared at their nieces from behind the glass.

“It looks like you're a good fit if you're Mom.”

“Aaan anyway?” Atep laughed at the expression on Alena's face while sulking.

“One more month we are legitimate. Hopefully we also have twins.”

“No. Having twins is tired of double,” protest Alena.

“Her happiness is also double right?”

“Sok know.”

“Just look at Iyah Tea and A Endra. Do you see them as having a hard time raising their children? No right? Even when Teh Iyah used to raise Aras and Aris alone, I never saw Teh Iyah who was sad because she had twins. In the past, Teh Iyah was only sad because he was not with his father Aras and Aris,” said Atep.

“Where later only. We can manage to have twins or not. Usually if there are already in the family who have twins, others will not have twins.”

“Who said?”

“I. I said it like that.”

“Yes, auntie chatty.” Atep pinched the squash of his favorite lady's cheek.

“Sick Atep!” shouted Lena while glaring at the eyes.

“Do not make a fuss! The babies will be disturbed.”

“You are wrong when the babies cry.”

After being satisfied to see the new nephews, Alena and Atep returned to the front of Sadiyah's room. They sat in long chairs that the hospital provided for the visitors.

“Capek, A?” alena asked Kagendra who threw the body beside her.

“Hm...”.

“Aa have eaten yet?”

Kagendra.

“Before the house people drop off food here. Lena was sure that Aa did not want to eat the food in the hospital canteen, so Lena asked the house people to bring food for Aa.”

“Still, Len.”

“There's a name for them?”

“Already.”

“Who?”

“Still not decided. It will be announced later that it is certain.”

“So Lena must call them who dong? His sister Aras and Aris, are you?”

“Yes not so. His nickname already exists. Aa insisted on naming her, because Aa had no share at all when naming Aras and Aris.”

“Whose fault was there next to Teh Iyah?” atep Seloroh.

“Damn you, Tep. Basic sister-in-law brash.”

“So who called them?” ask Alena again.

“Upin, Upin.”

Alena and Atep almost choked on hearing Kagendra's answer. How could she name her twin babies with popular animated characters from neighboring countries.

“Seriously, A? Their names are Upin and Ipin?”

Kagendra laughed out loud at the look on Alena's face that looked disappointed.

“Lho, what happened to Upin and Ipin? Popular and not bad name.”

“But the time is given the name Upin and Ipin anyway?”

It seems that Alena does not accept if her new nieces are named Upin and Ipin.

“What kind of name do you want?” ask Kagendra.

“What is normal atuh, A. for example, Rafa and Rafi, Dani and Doni, Arfa and Arfi, Arfan and Arfin, which are like that.”

“Yey, do you want a name like how? Ribet very well, A.”

“Aa want to give the name Salma and Salwa, but unfortunately they are men, so can not be named Salma and Salwa.”

“Aa want to have a daughter, yes?”

“The idea is like that, but the destiny is to have another boy. Now Aa has four boys.”

“Lena can already imagine how four of Aa's photocopying boys. Ribet ribet deh,” said Alena while giggling.

“Len, try home phone again. Aras and Aris are home yet?” Kagendra asks Alena to call the house person because her phone is running out of power.

“Last Lena phone anyway, Aras and Aris again picked up from school.”

“Some people home, Aras and Aris tomorrow only deliver here.”

“Iya, A.”

“Change and Mother have you contacted?”

“Already, A. Abah and Mom again on the road.”

“Aa go back inside. When the food arrives, you tell Aa. Aa is hungry heavy.”

“Siap, A.”

“Len, your phone sounds tuh,” said Atep told.

“Hallo, Assalamu’alaikum, Nan. What's up?” Yes, Mang Edi just got to.” Alena saw Mang Edi, one of the workers at Kagendra's house came in throngs while carrying a bushel of food.

“Gak. Aris and Aras are not the same as Lena.”

“What's up, Len?” ask Atep for worry.

Alena gestured for Atep not to ask first.

“Kan is usually picked up by Mr. Sholeh. Mr Sholehnynya has returned yet?”

“Where are they? Have you tried calling Mr Sholeh?”

“Kok can not be contacted? Mr. Sholeh brought a hape, right? Try to keep contacting Mr. Sholeh.”

“What?”

“Pak Sholeh is in the hospital. What the hell is this?”

“Police?” exclaim Alena restrained.

“What's Len?” atep's question is getting worried.

“Aras and Aris, Tep. They haven't come home yet,” replied Alena in a panic.

“Here phone. Let me do the talking. You calm down first.”

Alena hands the phone to Atep. Tears were pouring down her cheeks. He was really scared and worried.

“Hallo, Nan. It's Atep. Tell me clearly.” Atep took over the phone that Alena was holding.

“Den Aras and Den Aris have not returned from earlier. Usually an hour ago I went home. Nani thinks they're with Lena Tea. Hence Nani phone Tea Lena.” On the other end of the phone, Nani spoke while sobbing.

“Why are there police? Can I talk to them?”

“Good afternoon. I'm Dandi from An***ani Police. A victim named Sholeh was found unconscious in his car. We've brought Sholeh's brother to the nearest hospital.”

“Are there two children aged approximately six years with the victim?” ask Atep for worry.

“We did not find any children, only a victim named Sholeh only.”

“Then I will report the loss.”

Atep handed Alena's phone back.

“How, Tep?”

“I'm afraid they were kidnapped, Len.”

“What? What does the police say?”

“They did not find Aras and Aris in the car that Mr. Sholeh drove. Mr. Sholeh was found unconscious in the car.”

“Aras and Aris where?”

“Not yet known for sure. Now I'm going to the police station to report.”

“We have to tell Aa.”

Atep nodded. No matter how bad the news he just received, Kagendra must know.
