Love That (No) Blind
Part 49: The Mas Agam

[Sara]

Arya smiled before starting to explain even longer than before.

“Mama can own Mas Agam stocks in NFC. But, before he died, Papa had taken care of the royalties and patents for the production of goods created by Mas Agam on behalf of Mas Agam himself, not the company. Including Selene.”

That detail ...

“That means only Mas Agam and companies that get permission can produce the results of Mas Agam. So, Mas Agam could make a new company to produce it all.”

“Company ... new ..?”

Arya nodded confidently. “Before leaving, Mas Agam ordered Raka to collect all the data of the results of the study, including journals owned by the birth mother Mas Agam himself. And Mas Agam go carry it all.”

Sara let out a small laugh from her lips. He was very happy to hear that information.

“So, I'm sure, Mas Agam is currently preparing to build a new NFC, or maybe another NFC with a new name.”

Arya was no less satisfied with the story. It seemed like he was also relieved to hear of Agam's plan.

“But, Mas Agam can be in any country. So, we still have to wait for him to call Raka to meet him then we can get information on where Mas Agam is at the moment.”

Wait out?

“Time? This is what we cannot predict when. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or maybe a few more years.”

“But, it's too long,” says Sara worried. Let alone a year, a week, it's been a long time. “We can't leave Mas Agam alone for that long.”

Arya smelled a smile. He also nodded. “Then we ask someone for help. Agam would have not told him either. But he won't just shut up. He will definitely find it.”

“Dia? Who?,” asked Sara carefully. Her feelings are already uncomfortable every time Arya calls him, her, and him.

“He is already like his wife Mas Agam.”

DEG!

Wife?

“Ah, sorry, Ma'am. Not I mean so.” Arya immediately felt guilty. “Intinya, he can definitely find Mas Agam.”

But, Sara's head is already full with the word ‘istri’.

Do you have another wife? Or ever had a wife?

......................

“Info latest in Germany how? He's been there before.”

“Search in sparsely populated locations. He likes to hide there.”

Sara entered a room quite spacious. It is full of computer screens everywhere. Fill screen? Don't ask. Sara doesn't understand either. The clear one was full of numbers that were constantly moving up, there were even flashes.

Following the steps of Arya who had already entered casually, Sara continued to walk while gaping looking at the room that looked extraordinary in her eyes.

Yuda, the person who Sara had entered from the beginning, had already boomed scolding someone through the tool in her ear, as soon as she saw Arya directly raise her index finger as a sign for Arya to be silent.

But as soon as he saw Sara standing behind Arya, Yuda's forehead immediately wrinkled. Then, a sharp glare at Arya who was now grinning.

But there are no women in this room. Which one's his wife?

“Agam brrenggsek! Tell me where he is now?,” umpat Yuda as soon as he releases the tool in his ear.

Arya came closer to Sara's ear, then whispered. “When Mas Agam disappeared two years ago, Yuda was the most frantic looking. He didn't stop nyari until Mas Agam was found. As soon as I met, Mas Agam immediately scolded.”

Sara smiled at him.

“Limited, right?,” asked Arya.

Sara is confused now. “Ya?”

“Like wife who lost her husband.”

Eh?

Sara gawked towards Arya, then turned to look at Yuda.

So that means ...

“If Yuda is a girl, I think they will definitely get married.”

Sarah laughed at the parable.

It should not be surprised anymore by their closeness. Mas Agam once told, their closeness since they were children, even before Agam knew Widia. Their adjacent homes were the reason for Judah to visit Agam every day.

Sara hid her laughter again. Judah may have seen it, so he rebuked Sara. “Why laugh? What did he say to you?”

Yuda looked suspiciously at Arya. While Arya herself is just smiling without sin.

Sara was shocked when she was rebuked. He intends to hide it and get caught. Instantly he bought a smile from his face, then stared intently at Yuda.

Yuda who was suddenly attacked like that reflex rewinded his body so surprised him.

“But, I remain his first legitimate wife,” jolted Sara as he pointed his finger in front of Yuda. Then the body left Yuda and Arya who are now in turmoil.

“By the way are you to Sara? My feelings have not been good from the beginning you came,” said Yuda while curling Arya who was laughing at her brother's best friend.

Sara left the two big boys wanting to continue looking through everything in the room, seeing all the efforts of Judah in search of Agam.

His gaze stopped on one large board that displayed a map of the world. There are a lot of pins plugged in at a few different places. Germany, Belgium, Singapore, Japan ....

“The pinned are the places where Agam used to go.” Judah was suddenly right next to her, looking at the same thing Sara had seen earlier.

“That's much?”

“Then Agam tried to go there and look for people who can find out what the cause of the problem is. Because he had a lot of acquaintances, so he went all in and followed all the clues he got. Therefore he used to move around a lot with Raka,” Yuda's story about Agam.

Sara looked at the map of the world again. Think back to what Agam would do now. With everything he knows now, will Mas Agam keep moving around like that again?

“Don't worry,” Yuda said as if knowing what Sara was thinking. “She said just went to recover her body. So I'm sure he went somewhere where he could calmly do it.”

“But no clue where ...,” guess Sara.

“Hmm ...,” replied Yuda nodding his head. “The last place Agam visited before returning to Indonesia was Japan. He said there was progress when he did the treatment there. But, all of them were already searching for information there, still nothing. The hospital where he used to live is also non-existent. Some people checked there too. But he doesn't exist.”

Where are you really, Mom?

While Yuda and Arya are busy looking for other clues, Sara tries to remember all their conversations while looking at the large map.

#

“In Japan, the spring is the best. The cherry blossoms begin to bloom. I used to go there a few times for work,” Agam chirped in one of their chats before going to bed.

“One day I will take you there. I'm sure you'll like.”

#

Japan ...

Sara looked for Yuda among the many men who were Yuda employees in the room. He saw that the man was talking to Arya while pointing at the computer screen in front of her.

“Mas Yuda ...,” call Sara who tries to make a loud noise. Yuda instantly averted his gaze staring at Sara quite intensely.

Pointing to an island tilted across a blue background, Sara said, “Why not check in Japan again?”

Judah scrunched his forehead. He left Arya and walked over to Sara. The views kept changing, Sara then went to the map, then to Sara again.

“Why?,” ask Yuda. “We have checked all the hospitals and rehabilitation centers there. But no.”

“Maybe not hospital.”

Yuda's forehead increased his wrinkles.

“Mas Yuda himself said, Mas Agam this time went to recover everything. He already knows all the causes, so he doesn't need the hospital anymore for that.”

This time, both of Yuda's eyebrows shot upwards. Arya, who had been behind Judah, now approached Judah and embraced his shoulder, listening with Judah.

“Mas Agam this time go without fear because the NFC will disappear. He just needs a place to calm down. Place ... which may be lake ... or pasture .. or ... cherry blossoms.”

THE PLAQUE!

Arya just hit Yuda on the shoulder. Getting a sudden attack like that Yuda immediately glared at Arya. “My brother-in-law is the greatest! You admit it too, right? Haha ..”

While Arya was still laughing, Yuda immediately moved to give this order and it was through the tool he put again into his ear. While the people who were there became even more boisterous than before.

Sara turned back to stare at the huge map before her. This time his gaze was locked on the long little island that was in the center of the right. His outlook is null and hopeful. I hope you're really there, Mom.

......................

Sara is being shown an image on a big screen. The view of a lake with a large tree shady. A man in a wheelchair was sitting in his shade facing the lake in front of him.

The great distance made the figure of the man in the wheelchair look so small. Someone widened the picture and focused it on the man.

Getting closer, and keep getting closer.

Although it looked a bit hazy, Sara still smiled looking at him. “Itu Mas Agam ..”
