My husband Tajir & Arogan (Season 1)
CHAPTER XVIII

It was getting late, Rafael and Delia were just as mute since the incident. Delia did not even dare to ask about her husband's confession, because she was afraid of hearing it wrong.

Rafael also starts to get busy with his laptop, although Delia is still sitting next to him. Delia kept looking at the handsome face of Rafael who was seriously working.

"How could a handsome, rich and arrogant man like this fall in love with me, I might have misheard earlier" Delia thought.

Feeling constantly stared at by Delia, Rafael turned his face and approached Delia's ears.

"Do you like your handsome husband so much?" rafael whiskey.

Feeling Rafael's breath in his ear made Delia shudder. Delia retreated and turned her face away.

"You're so narcissistic Raf," said Delia nervously.

Delia moved from her seat wanting to leave her husband in shame. But Rafael's hand immediately restrained his waist.

"Where are you going? Stay by my side, waiting for news from the police. I need you, baby" said Rafael.

Reminded of her parents, Delia sat back down and her face returned moody.

"Can we just wait like this?" tanyakanya.

Rafael nodded, "we have to be patient dear, we've done various ways to find them. Trust everything in the police," replied Rafael, "this is all we can do now, I've even hired detectives but Bethran and Katrina still haven't been found. Police rushed to Dowell's home, but the woman was not seen at his home. So the police are currently waiting for the woman there" he added.

"Lord.I beg you to save father and mother. Give them back without getting hurt" said Delia.

"Amien.." answered Rafael, "if they get hurt by Bethran and Katrina, I won't let them and I'll chase them even if they get to the pit of ants" he added.

Delia tried to calm down. A few minutes later, Rafael's cell phone ringing broke the silence, with a new number on it, it's not wrong it's Bethran. Fortunately, the police started tapping her phone, so it was very easy to track Bethran down.

"Who?" ask Delia.

Rafael clasped Delia's hand, "if I don't guess wrong, this must be Bethran. You don't make a sound when I pick up the phone."

Delia nodded her head.

"Hello.." said Rafael as he picked up his phone.

Because Delia was so curious, Rafael used his cell phone loudspeaker.

"Hows it? Have you made your decision now?" ask Bethran without a stale ado.

"I'll do your wish, now give me the location where you're holding my in-laws" replied Rafael.

Bethran let go of her laugh, "you think I'm stupid, it's not that easy to trust you, now give Delia the divorce papers. Delia's got to see me alone. I'll tell you the location. Don't do anything like that, if you call the police or someone follows Delia, I won't hesitate to cut off one of your in-laws' hands" Bethran said.

Delia gasped while covering her mouth. Hearing Bethran's words made Delia very frightened. Rafael clasped Delia's hand tighter, the man trying to calm his wife.

"If you've agreed, we can start exchanging. Give Delia to me, and I'll have my men release her mother. After that it's your business with Katrina, because Delia's all I need" Bethran said, disconnecting the phone.

"Hello. hello.." cried Rafael.

Raphael cursed when he knew his phone was cut off. Delia started crying from fear.

"Look, honey, the location must have been tracked by the police, you have to be patient. I'm sure Bethran wouldn't dare hurt mom and dad" Rafael said.

"But what does that mean, why does he just let go of mom? What about dad?"

"It looks like they're working together to separate mom and dad, you're in exchange for mom, and I'm in exchange for dad."

"They've really gone crazy, isn't this an obsession? Should they do this to get love?"

"Any wrong action, definitely his punishment. I think, after this they will really regret doing something that is against the law. But you take it easy Del, I'm sure they won't hurt mom and dad because all they want is us."

"Should we give in for the safety of father and mother?"

"Stop saying that, this problem has been solved by the police. We do not need to do the crazy things they want, rest assured God is guarding them, rest assured I will save them without any shortcomings. I promised you, I won't let them get hurt even a little. Can you trust me?"

Delia nodded her head.

"Thank you Raf, you keep my mind at ease."

"Stop saying thank you, I'm your husband. It's my duty to take responsibility for whatever happens to my wife."

Delia ventured to lay her head on Rafael's shoulder, as Rafael gently stroked her hair.

Rafael's phone rings again, this time from the police. Rafael shows his phone screen to Delia.

"They called me, hopefully Bethran's location was really found" Rafael said, picking up his phone.

Rafael long enough to talk on his phone, Delia waited with anxious hope.

"Del, they actually discovered Bethran's whereabouts. I'll be on location soon" Rafael said after hanging up.

"May I come, please?"

"It's dangerous baby, if there's something beyond our control how is it?" answer Rafael.

Delia's face returned moody. Rafael could not bear to see it, he finally nodded his head making Delia very happy. Both of them immediately went to the location that was notified by the police.

*****

Police officers followed Bethran's car. But there is something strange, the car actually went into a sorum. Without waiting again, several police officers carried out raids in the car's searchlight.

The raid went on for quite a while, the car Bethran was driving was there. But the man they were looking for was invisible to the trunk of his nose. Sorum explained that the car was indeed rented by a man. But the man asked the sorum party to take it in front of a mini market. They had absolutely no idea who Bethran Markes, the tenant of their car was on behalf of another man.

The police were fooled by Bethran, the man seemed to have found out if he was followed by the police.

Rafael and Delia set off towards the location. Halfway through the journey, Rafael again receives a call from an unknown number. The man pulled over his car and picked up his phone.

"It turns out you started playing with me Rafael Widjaja. You sent the police to follow me, but I'm smarter than you. Because you challenged me, so I'm also going to give up one of your in-laws' hands as a warning" Bethran said.

"You don't try to hurt them, I'll never let you go, Markes" said Rafael.

As soon as Delia snatched Rafael's phone, "I beg you not to hurt my father and mother, I know you only want me. So I'm gonna let them go, Bethran."

Bethran let go of her laugh, "last I can hear your voice baby, how's Delia? Do you remember me?"

"Don't mince words, what do you really want?"

"It turns out you're starting to get impatient. I told your husband exactly what I wanted. If you want your parents to survive, you just follow my wishes. Don't try to cooperate with the police, if you don't want to see one of their hands I cut off."

Delia's body began to tremble, Rafael again took his phone from Delia's hand.

"I will follow your wishes, but you must let go of both. And never call my wife with a loving call" said Rafael.

"I didn't tell you to negotiate with me. Hand over Delia, I will release her mother, because Delia will be mine, I am of course free to call her by any call. You don't threaten me, because control is on me" Bethran replied, hanging up again.

Rafael cursed, he was very angry let alone see his wife back in tears.

"How dare that damn guy threaten me. I'll never let go, you'll regret touching the people around me" Rafael thought furiously.

Rafael pulls Delia into his arms, he again calms the woman down.

"Better we go back to the cafe Huda again, I will think of another way to save father and mother" Rafael said.

Delia nodded her head.

"Now stop crying baby, you're hurting my heart" said Rafael.

Delia stopped her crying. The woman tried to hold back her so that Rafael would not worry too much. Both of them continued their journey to return to the cafe Huda.
