"Pa, Afrin, how come you're not home yet? It's almost evening, usually by noon he's home. From earlier the number was also inactive," Yasna told her husband because she was worried about her daughter.
"You have patience, my dear. He's coming home" said Emran, who wants to calm his wife. He himself is also worried.
"I can't relax, Pa. Before knowing how he is. If the phone is active, it is okay. It was not active from before! I can't call. I also contacted Vira and Siska, but they said they didn't know."
Emran wanted to say something, but his phone rang as soon as the man picked it up.
"Before Papa will lift first," Emran told Yasna and switched to lifting his phone. "Assalamualaikum .. wait a minute, I check first in my workspace."
Yasna looked at her husband as if asking what was going on. Looks like something's important.
"Papa's going to the study first, yeah!"
Yasna nodded, Emran passed to her study without turning off the phone.As soon as she arrived at the study she immediately locked the door so that no one would enter.
"How can you defy like this!" emran shouted at the person across the phone. Fortunately, his office was soundproofed, so outsiders would not know the man was screaming.
"I'm sorry, sir I've tried to find the whereabouts of Non Afrin, but haven't found anything yet" the person said.
"I don't want to know. Find her whereabouts right now!"
"Good, Sir. We'll try."
"If anything happens to my daughter, you'll suffer the consequences." Emran immediately turned off his phone.
How could his men have been this reckless, yesterday he was cheated when Afrin was close to Khairi and it didn't matter to him because the man was also a good person, but now his daughter is missing without any trace. Only the car is on the side of the road.

"Master, Miss Afrin is missing" Ivan said.
"How can it be lost?" ask Khairi with a shout.
He is currently still working on a cooperation project, but suddenly the man gets bad news about his love. How can Khairi be calm like this?
"It looks like someone wants to harm him, but until now we don't know who did it yet."
"Give all the children to us. I'd like to get some news as soon as possible. I don't want to know how they work, Afrin's origin can be found."
"Good, Sir."
"Do you know who did it?"
"No, Mister. I don't really know Mr. Emran's family. You know for yourself his family's very hard to break through."
The man let out a rough breath. How can he when he is now far away, something dangerous happens to his heart.
Khairi thought, who would roughly dare to play around with the Emran family. There are only two possibilities, the person does not know who Emran is and deliberately wants to ask for money or the person is indeed an enemy of the businessman's family.
"Ivan, prepare the plane today as well. I'll be home soon."
"But, Mister. What about our collaboration? It means a lot to the company."
"Afrin means more than the company. You alone are here handling everything. If they refuse, cancel this partnership. Afrin is everything to me."
"Okay, sir," said Ivan.
Ivan had also warned his men to always maintain the safety of his superiors. He didn't want anything to happen to Khairi. After all, the man is his responsibility.

"Zahra you want to come with me? I'll take you to work" Afrin asked her friend. They had just finished class and were walking off campus.
"No need, the place is also deket. A short walk has also arrived," Zahra refused. He didn't want to trouble his best friend.
"Well, I'm back, yeah! Mommy will grumble if I come home late."
"Yes, be careful." They split up in the parking lot.
Afrin rode his car through the streets so crowded with the noise of motor vehicles. The sound of music played by a radio announcer accompanied his solitude. Sometimes the girl follows the lyrics of the song.
Suddenly there was a woman who prevented him in the middle of the road. He asked for help to be transferred to the hospital because he had just received news if his son had an accident.
Afrin who could not bear, finally helped the woman. He followed the designated direction. In the middle of the road, the girl felt strange because the person she was helping was directing into a quiet street, like towards a forest. But soon he dismissed his bad prejudices. Afrin could not have let a woman who was worried about her child go alone.
"Wait a minute, please stop first" said the woman
Afrin stopped the car immediately. However, suddenly the woman covered the girl's mouth with a handkerchief until Afrin was unconscious.
A car that followed them stopped in front. Two men came down and opened the door next to Afrin and took the girl into her car. They immediately left the place before anyone came. I also forgot to give money to the woman.

Yasna sat in the living room waiting for her husband to come out of his study. He felt that something must have happened to his daughter. There is no way Emran knows anything about Afrin because all the families are under his watch.
The door of the study opened, and the man came out of his room. Yasna remained in her place without even budging, until the husband approached and sat beside her.
Emran feels that Yasna suspects him. Inevitably, he had to tell the truth. But the woman also deserves to know.
"What's up, Mother? Why just shut up?" emran asked pretending not to understand.
"Papa don't have to pretend. Papa knows, right, where's Afrin? Something must have happened to her, right?" yasna asked while looking at her husband's face. She wanted to know what her husband's expression was.
Emran fell silent, thinking about what answer he would give Yasna so that the woman would not be surprised.
"Papa don't lie! Mother already knows, something must have happened bad, right? What was? Papa just say, no need to cover up," Yasna said as if she knew what her husband was thinking.
Emran sighed before answering. He looked at the wife's face as he said, "Afrin is missing, Mother. Papa doesn't know where he is. Papa's men are still trying to this day."
Yasna was surprised to hear that. He did not expect all this to be experienced by his daughter. It was only fitting that from morning he was agitated, but the woman did not know the cause.
