Maura Search
What's Going on?

''Sir, please hurry up," Maura asked the taxi driver who took them to her parents' residence.

The woman continued to move agitatedly by occasionally glancing at the watch in her hand.

''Relax, Ra. We'll make it in time." Emran tried to calm the woman down.

There was a streak of guilt seeping into his heart. If he hadn't done this ridiculous thing, it wouldn't have happened. Perhaps, this is a direct rebuke from God for his bad intentions.

''Just stop here, sir," Maura said as they reached the end of the residential complex.

After the taxi stopped perfectly, the woman immediately ran towards her residence which was only a few hundred meters away. Not without reason he asked to stop there. He was scared, stuck in traffic with the car of the mourners.

Maura felt strange about the road that passed. The closer to the house the more deserted streets, there is not a single car parked on the shoulder of the road or the crowd like a place of mourning in general. His astonishment grew when he did not find the yellow flag attached to the entrance as a symbol of sorrow.

''What's last night's news also including hoaxes?"q wonders.

Oddity is increasingly felt when the atmosphere around the house looks lonely, at the guard post there is also no one who is on guard, both security and the men of his father. Instantly, various questions flashed through his mind.

''What happened?''

"Why is my house like this?"

''That means the news I heard yesterday afternoon...."

''No!'' she screamed hysterically.

His feet were sitting limp when he saw the condition of the house that was far from neat, a lot of black debris scattered everywhere. Tears flowed without being prevented. Instantly, the regret of yesterday's stupidity lurched in his heart.

''You fool, Maura! Why did you leave yesterday's show?"

''Dad, I'm sorry..," her screams sounded so bitter.

Emran showed the same reaction when he got there. The house that previously looked grand and luxurious. Now, it is like an abandoned building left for decades by its owner. There was damage in some parts, almost eighty percent of the house was blackened. Only the second floor was untouched by the red whiz, only partially. The rest is gone.

The view that was very painful for him was when he heard the shriek of the idol in front of the building. With a slow step, Emran stepped closer to Maura who was still stunned in her tears.

''Ra..," he called slowly.

''Em, this ... this...." Maura pointed at the building in front of him.

Without saying much, the man immediately clutched his petite female puja body very tightly. His heart was sliced upon hearing the heart-wrenching sobs.

''Where's my dad, Em?" ask her with a raucous voice.

''What's going on? Yesterday was fine, wasn't it? Why now....'' Maura's throat was blocked from being able to continue her speech. He further sunk his face into the chest of the man's field.

''Relax, Ra. We'll find out where your father is. There are many online media outlets reporting on your father's death. That'll help us a lot."

''I called Rayyan first, surely now he's with your father" he added.

''But, Em...."

''We face it together. Fear not! I'll always be with you, always fast.

He knows the girl's fear, and he'll take responsibility. After all, it was him who brought Maura into this matter.

''alright....''
