This afternoon after resting, Riki, Arya and Yudha started their search.
Armed with a photo of Tomi, they walk down the village road, asking the fishermen they met if anyone had ever seen Tomi.
In a crowded coffee shop, Riki and his two colleagues came to the fathers who were relaxing by chatting and drinking coffee, accompanied by various fried foods sold by the shop owner.
" Assalamu'alaikum, good afternoon gentlemen. "greetings Riki say hello to the fathers who are there.
" Waalaikumsalam. "the fathers answered simultaneously.
" What's up, what can we do for you? " ask one of the men who was drinking coffee.
The fathers saw Riki and his friends as strangers and not youths from their village.
" It seems, you guys aren't the young men from this village huh? because I know the young people in this village.
Are you from the city? " ask the other fathers to Riki, Arya and Yudha.
" I'm sorry to interrupt the moment, gentlemen, my name is Riki, this is my friend Arya and Yudha.
We just arrived from Jakarta this afternoon. We came here because we were looking for my missing brother." Riki said who they were and what their purpose was to come to the village.
" Have you ever seen the young man in this picture? He is Riki's older brother named Tomi. "
Yudha said to the fathers, showing them a picture of Tomi.
" Tomi is the victim of a speedboat accident that occurred two weeks ago which until now has not been found.
Perhaps the fathers had met or seen Tomi, or some had heard of anyone finding Tomi" Arya explained to the fathers there why they were looking for Tomi.
Riki, Arya and Yudha show Tomi's photo to everyone there. Hope if anyone has ever seen Tomi or ever heard of Tomi's whereabouts.
" I've heard about the accident, but don't know if there are any missing victims" said a father wearing a blue T-shirt and wearing black cloth trousers.
" Yes right, I've also heard about the accident, but the crash site is far from here.
The location is not far from the port of another fishing village, about an hour drive by speedboat if from here. "said the father who first greeted Riki earlier.
In honor of the fathers who were there, as well as trying to find information, Riki and his two colleagues went to coffee in the tavern.
They also sought information about other villages on the island to continue their search if they did not find Tomi in the village.
After chatting and drinking coffee in the tavern, Riki, Arya and Yudha continue their journey to find information about Tomi's whereabouts.
Riki gives his mobile number to the store owner if someone later knows the whereabouts of Tomi or if anyone gets information about Tomi, they can directly contact Riki.
Almost before Maghrib, Riki, Arya and Yudha returned to the inn.
To this day they haven't gotten any information about Tomi.
" Tonight we rest first, tomorrow morning we continue the search in a different direction to the road we passed earlier. " riki said to Arya and when they let go of tired after this afternoon trying to find Tomi's whereabouts.
" Yes, it was quite a trip we had this afternoon, even though it was only two hours but quite a pegel also walked." said Arya who was not used to walking far.
" So tomorrow morning, finish breakfast we can start our adventure to find Tomi. We will be the lamp. "alloh Yudha.
" What is the pelang? " ask Riki wonder at Yudha.
" If children are called bolang, the adventurous boy.
" There is, use the all-cleaner, fortunately not the crossbar." said Arya with a laugh.
That night, the three of them rested faster after having dinner.
Their trip this afternoon made them exhausted and so they chose to rest immediately so that tomorrow they could wake up fitter.

Meanwhile it's been almost a non-Tomi living with Roni and her family. Tomi's health is improving.
The bruises on his body have started to disappear, but Tomi still does not remember who he is.
Tomi still lives with Roni's family. What Tomi does every day is learn to make decorations from seashells to her mother Roni.
Tomi once offered to join Roni and her father in search of fish in the middle of the sea, but Roni and her father did not allow for fear of something happening to Tomi when they were in the middle of the sea.
Roni thought that, he and his father found Tomi who was bobbing in the middle of the sea, so Roni was afraid if Tomi suddenly felt traumatized while in the middle of the sea, so he and his father banned Tomi when Tomi wanted to go fishing.
Tomi and Bella's relationship is improving.
Bella no longer shows the attitude that she likes Tomi.
Bella really listens to what mom and Roni are saying so she throws away her feelings of joy at Tomi before it gets deeper.
Now Bella only considers Tomi as an older sister, just like Roni.
Bella does not want her feelings for Tomi to hurt herself when Tomi recalls who she is so Tomi returns to her son and wife.
" Bang, are we looking for shells, yuk? " take Bella to Tomi who is sitting under a catapult tree as usual.
Today he sat alone because Roni and his father were going to sea, and later that night they just returned from the sea.
" Maybe, my brother is also bored if he has to continue to sit here alone while watching children who are playing ball on the beach." said Tomi who agreed to Bella's invitation to look for shells.
" A moment bang, Bella wants to grab a small bucket first for her place, later." said Bella, then walked towards her home kitchen to pick up a small bucket for where she and Tomi collected shells.
Tomi began to be smart to make ornaments from seashells, ranging from making photo frames to making animal shapes from seashells.
All handmade crafts Tomi stored in the closet in the living room as decoration.
Tomi and Bella walk down the beach with their eyes looking down, seeing if there is a good shell they will take and collect in the bucket carried by Bella.
" Bell, look, you got a nice snail" said Tomi who was picking up a sand-covered snail on Bella.
" Oh yeah, bang, it's a really nice conch shell. " said Bella happily because Tomi got some snail shells that have a nice pattern.
" What's so good to do, bang? " ask Bella who is holding a rather large conch shell.
Tomi looked at the conch shell held by Bella while putting some conch shells and shell shells into the bucket.
" It seems good that if made a mouse, just give eyes and whiskers, it will be a cute mouse. " answer Tomi who already has the idea to make a mouse from the shell of the conch.
" Wah looks like it would be great if it had been made into a mouse decoration" said Bella happily while imagining what Tomi would make with the conch shell.
Bella and Tomi are still walking along the waterfront and collecting a lot of shells and conch shells.
