Presence of Love
Chapter 69

Andi came home after successfully persuaded Reno. Just getting in front of the house, Rendy and Faul greeted them with sinister gazes. "Pa, Mama's been found, hasn't she?" ask Rendy for a moment.

Andi smiled faintly, even though his finger felt miserable. But he was also confused, it was impossible to lie to his son.

"Sir Andi, what exactly is going on?" ask Faul who doesn't know all the stories yet. Rendy only told me a piece.

"Kita masuk dan cerita di dalam. Papa capek sekali, butuh istirahat." ucap Andi menepuk bahu Faul. Tetapi baru beberapa langkah mereka, belum sampai di depan pintu, Rendy menghalangi jalan mereka dengan membentang tangannya menutupi sebagian pintu terbuka.

"Rendy forbids Papa from coming in if Papa hasn't brought Mama home!!" rendy's word with pinched eyes indicates that she is angry.

Deg.

Andi gulped his saliva. He couldn't bring Dara back if she had been dumped to the bottom of the sea. After all, Reno had already asked for help, but it would take a long time until Dara was finally found.

"Why did Rendy have so much to do with Papa?" asked Andi who was staring back at her only child.

Rendy folded her hands together with a resplendent face. Like pouting. "Papa also had the heart with Mama, until he was thrown into the sea." replied Rendy who turned her face away.

Faul turned his head towards Andi, he waited for Andi's reply. Faul is not sure if his brother did something sadistic about women. "Excuse me Papa, next time will no longer." persuaded Andi who wanted to immediately go in to calm his mind which continued to fill his head.

"OKAY. If Mama's back, Papa has to promise to apologize to Mama. Never hurt Mama, because Rendy will get hurt too." explained Rendy as she filed her pinky finger.

Rendy's heart screamed at him. Water said to get out just like that. She was not sure she could apologize to Dara directly. But Andi kept smiling while nodding. She doesn't want to make her son hate her, only she's all Andi has.

Suddenly Andi immediately hugged Rendy and cried so badly. Rendy returned her Papa's embrace by rubbing her back. She could not bear to see her father crying in front of her eyes.

Elsewhere, Grandma Dara kept contacting Dara. But Dara's number is completely inactive. Grandma Dara panicked, her panic grew.

"Where are you?" ask Grandma Dara to herself.

"Why does Grandma feel unsettled thinking of you?" Dara's grandmother spoke to herself, looking at a picture of her family when Dara became a psychological doctor and was accepted to work in a hospital. The three of them are very meaningful.

As Grandma Dara pondered, a short message from an unknown number came in.

Dara's grandmother quickly dialed the number, but was not picked up by the owner. When Grandma Dara returned to call the number, it was no longer lifted. But it's not active. Grandma Dara furrowed her brows, she did not understand at all.

Not long after, Grandma Dara's phone rang. From Ramadhan, his son. Grandma Dara picked up her phone.

"Hello Ramadan. You okay, son?" ask her with a worried voice.

"Y-yes, Mom. Can I ask you a favor, pick me up in the hallway near XXX Park?" ask Ramadan in a weak voice.

"Yes-yes. Mommy will be there soon." said Grandma Dara who immediately turned off her phone. He did not have time to ask for too long, especially hearing the sound of his son being injured.

Grandma Dara immediately took a taxi and headed to the place that Ramadan asked for. It took him thirty minutes, he finally arrived. He went down and looked for the whereabouts of Ramadan. Grandma Dara was looking for the passageway her son meant. It seems like Ramadan is in hiding. When he found the hallway, without a second thought, Grandma Dara went straight into the loring which was indeed quiet. Not far from there, a man was seen sitting with an injured leg and his face battered.

"Ramadan?" call Grandma Dara who ran over to her son. His mouth immediately opened to see his son being injured everywhere.

"What's wrong with you, son?"

"The whole story, Mom. I was arrested by Hansa's men for burning down their base. They took me to kill, but I can still escape even if I get hurt like this." It was clearly Ramadan who endured his pain.

"Then, where's Dara?" ask Grandma Dara who did not see Dara with Ramadan.

"Become? Dara's missing again, Mom?" Ramashan was surprised to hear that. He immediately got up, ignoring his current pain.

"Yes, Dara's been missing since she looked for you this morning, not coming home until now. I called, the number's off. Suddenly Mom receives a message saying that Dara is okay with her. I'm worried because I can't contact that person. Is Dara really with him or not?" obviously Granny Dara is long.

"Mom, just calm down. Ramadhan will find Dara until we meet." said Ramadhan who walked slowly.

"Wait a minute, Ramadan. Your condition is not good to find Dara, you also do not know where Dara is now. Better, we wait for tomorrow and report to the police if it's twenty-four hours Dara did not go home" said Grandma Dara prevented her son to go looking for Dara.

Ramadhan sighed, he seemed to think what his mother said was true. They immediately went home and waited for Dara's return until tomorrow.
