Aditya comes bearing diapers for Kyra and pretends to be surprised to see Ariel. Actually Aditya heard Ariel and Cahya's conversation about Elea. Aditya must immediately stop this, otherwise Ariel will continue to urge Cahya, considering his wife is not good at lying.
"Iel, are you here?"
Ariel instantly set her sights on the newly arrived Aditya. Cahya let out her breath feeling relieved Aditya had already come.
"You look so healthy thank goodness! Tumben you came to not call me? What's up???" Ask Aditya.
"I came to meet with Cahya asking about Elea"
"On Elea?? Didn't you get divorced from him? Then why are you asking?"
"Emmmm actually I wanted to see Elea to apologize but her contact number could not be reached and when I came to her apartment it was empty there so I came here to ask Cahya"
"Apartment's empty? Where is Elea going?" Aditya asked Cahya, and gave the code to his wife so that she could behave and not raise suspicion.
Cahya shook her head. "I don't know if the apartment is empty, Elea hasn't contacted me in a long time, she's changed a lot after your separation, even I don't know if you're divorced, I found out about it from Adit because you told him yourself, Elea's problem was visiting me in the hospital, yes she just came we chat as necessary, just a moment we chat he went to the bathroom when he came out he saw you and said goodbye and left after that he never again there was news even he also did not come to visit Kyra and Kyros until now"
Cahya hoped that Ariel was unsuspecting by her words, considering that she was a little stammered while speaking. Ariel was only silent for a moment hearing Cahya's words.
"Ca, are you sure? You didn't lie to me, did you? I'd really like to meet Elea right now and apologize to her"
"I've lost my best friend, I don't know what's really going on with you and why you're divorced until now I don't know why, Elea's changed since then, and why do you just now intend to apologize to her?"
Ariel lowered her head sadly, then her voice softened. "I did make a mistake, and I want to fix it even more so that Elea is currently pregnant, sorry I have to go now to find Elea again if you do not know her whereabouts, she said, but I beg you if Elea comes or calls you, tell me right away"
Ariel immediately left Aditya's house. Meanwhile, Cahya and Aditya are surprised that Ariel already knows about Elea's pregnancy, but both are confused as to why Ariel can find out about it, who told her. Cahya really felt very upset right now, afraid that Ariel would also find out the whereabouts of Elea.
Aditya tries to calm Cahya down from thinking too much about it, as he can guarantee that Ariel will not be able to find Elea. Cahya intends to contact Elea and tell her about this, but Aditya forbids her for fear that Elea will panic. It is better for now that Elea does not need to know this and let Ariel go crazy for looking for Elea.

The next day, Ariel was in front of the Direct publisher office where Elea worked. He waits in the car while keeping an eye on the office hoping for Elea. Ariel waited until 10 but she did not see Elea coming at all. Ariel actually watches over the incoming employees one by one and even ignores the sound of her cell phone ringing out of fear she is missed, but Elea does not come to the office.
Ariel got out of her car she felt very upset and was afraid that her sight had indeed been missed. He'll go in and ask Elea there. Ariel met the receptionist of the office and began to ask.
"Excuse me, can I see Ele?"
"Elea who is it sir? And what's the need?"
"Eleanor Fransisca, just say there's an urgent need for family"
The receptionist seemed to be silently remembering something. "Oh Elea, this father is her husband, right? It is fitting that I am no stranger to the face of the father as I have seen it turns out that I saw the father at the wedding Elea first, is it the father did not know? Elea has resigned from a few months ago" said the Receptionist.
"Resign??? When??"
"When I remember about 4 months ago, she came with a woman who dropped her resign here"
"Woman..??? Who..??? You mean Cahya? Who has also worked here?"
The receptionist shook his head. "Not Cahya, if Cahya I know very well, but the woman is the same age that is clearly not Cahya"
Ariel starts her car, and she goes to Elea's parents' house and apologizes to them and asks about Elea.

Finally after traveling for more than 2 hours, Ariel arrived at the home of Elea's parents. The house looks quiet and the fence is closed. Ariel rang the bell that was fenced many times but there was no answer or anyone coming out of it.
"Mama...... Papa's......." Shouted Ariel.
Once again his shout was like it was useless, for there was no answer. Many times he shouted but still nil the result, until finally there was a neighbor who approached Ariel.
"Sorry, who's looking?"
"I'd like to meet the owner of this house, but it doesn't seem like anyone huh?" Ariel.
"Oh the owner of this house? This house has been empty for a long time, has moved on"
"Moved??? Where's where??"
"Well, I don't know, which has obviously been abandoned for months, then excuse me, ma'am"
The man left Ariel. Ariel yelled in annoyance as she smacked her hand into her car loudly. Her efforts failed again, and her brain was filled with questions about where Elea and her family had gone. Ariel finally returned home feeling devastated and filled with disappointment.
****
Ariel had been like a mad man looking for Elea here and there, for one week she had been going around carrying photos of Elea and asking people she had met on the street. Ariel had searched everywhere aimlessly and she was confused. It felt like she was almost crazy not knowing where Elea was, what she was doing, and how she was doing.
Elea is pregnant, for Christ's sake! She's pregnant with her child, and now she's out there somewhere. Angrily slammed his hand on the steering wheel of his car in frustration.
Ariel searches the town because she remembers seeing Elea's parents at her restaurant. And Ariel feels very confident that Elea must be here but she knows where she is now.
The next day, Aditya is surprised by Ariel's father's arrival at his office, kindly welcoming Aditya and allowing him to sit down. Aditya then tells Maysa to bring drinks for Ariel's father.
"Om Andi, how are you? Tumben once played to the office, do you want to meet with Papa??" Ask Aditya.
"Not Dit, um here just wanted to tell you about Ariel"
Aditya frowned, wondering what was up with Ariel. "Why him? Is there a problem?"
"Ariel's been gone for a week in the morning and coming home in the evening, she looks really messed up, doesn't come to the office and she looks really bad, he also never wanted to eat breakfast and always came home angry and upset, he told Asih if he was looking for Elea but did not manage to find her"
Aditya sees sadness on Ariel's father's face, but there's no way he's telling her about Elea.
"Ariel also came to our house om, asking my wife about Elea's whereabouts but unfortunately Cahya did not know it either" Aditya said sadly.
Aditya begs God for forgiveness for having to lie to Ariel's father.
"Adit, can you help Ariel??"
