Ismalia was released from the abduction. He meets a kind old man named Mr. Sutiono. Mr. Sutiono was passing by carrying a truck filled with palm oil to be taken to the city. He saw Ismalia trying to stop the truck. Sutiono stopped and gave a ride to Ismalia until the Mandala residence safely.

Ismalia is already at the Mandala residence. Making everyone at home feel surprised except Mandala. Mandala does not know about Ismalia's arrival. Because Mandala was looking for Sofia in her apartment. After finding out his whereabouts through Ismalia's cell phone which was previously tracked by Nazir's best friend.

At the Mandala residence, Mastiara and Mardian embraced Ismalia with tears of joy and gratitude. Rita and Erika also follow grateful and touched by the arrival of Ismalia. Ismalia is now embraced by Rita and Erika. Ismalia looks so shabby, dirty, and the bridal clothes are still used and torn.

"Alhamdulillah... You can finally come back. But how can you be free, Is. The kidnapper...?" mastiara hugged Ismalia again.

"Long Ma'am how can Is be free" replied Ismalia.

"Yes, later the story. Better clean up first. After that you can tell us all." said Rita.

"Good, grandma."

"Rik, would you please take Is upstairs, would you?" rita's orders.

"Yes, Grandma" said Erika.

Erika takes Ismalia upstairs to the bathroom for a bath.

"God, God, Ismalia has finally returned safely" said Mastiara.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah. Our efforts are not in vain and the kidnapper also hopefully quickly found" said Rita.

"Aamiinu. May also be punished severely." said Mastiara.

"Aamiinu. But I still wonder who kidnapped Ismalia?"

"Yes, even though Is has never done anything bad to anyone else. But why is it so heartless that man kidnapped Is."

"We've prepared dinner for Ismalia. Surely Is has not eaten, later we ask Is." said Rita.

"Oh yes, I'd like to contact Mandala first. A moment, yeah.." continued Rita was about to pick up her phone.

Mastiara prepares dinner for Ismalia. Just heat the food in the refrigerator. While Rita contacted Mandala who was on the way to Sofia's apartment. Some of the calls from Rita were not picked up by Mandala.

"Where the hell are you, man. How come he didn't answer his call?" said Rita.

Rita stopped contacting Mandala to accompany Mastiara who was serving food on the dining table.

...🌹🌹🌹...

Mandala and Nazir arrive at Sofia's apartment. They went straight into the apartment to the receptionist. To ask Sofia's room number. When they found out Sofia's room number, they both went straight to the elevator. Arriving at the top floor, Mandala and Nazir knock on Sofia's room door.

There was no word from the inside, they tried to forcefully open the door to Sofia's room. Once open, Mandala immediately searches for Sofia's whereabouts in the bedroom, kitchen, and outside. Sofia's whereabouts were not discovered by Mandala. He took the phone in his pocket to call Vino back.

There were some missed calls from Rita. Mandala called Rita. His call got a favor from Rita.

"Assalamualaikum, Mum. Sorry I was on my way. What's up, Mom?"

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Man. I just wanted to say that Ismalia is home now. He was freed from the kidnapper." said Rita.

"What... Alhamdulillah." said Mandala shocked and relieved.

"Where are you now?" ask Rita.

"Me and Nazir are now in Sofia's apartment, Mom. I got information from Vino that Sofia had something to do with Ismalia's abduction." Mandala explained.

"Sofia...? That name doesn't seem foreign to me."

"Yes I do know her, Sofia who used to come to our house obsessed with me, Mom." explained Mandala back.

"What's....Sofia's a gnarly, itchy woman?" ask Rita in shock.

"Yes, he's not in his apartment. We think he might have escaped. Though the trail known to Vino its location is here."

"Then you go home instead. We heard a story from Ismalia, who knows we got a lead on the kidnapper."

"alright. We'll be home soon. Assalamualaikum."

"Yes, you guys be careful. Wa'alaikumussalam."

Mandala closes the call from Rita. Nazir was curious to ask about what made Mandala was shocked.

"What's going on? Are there any other clues to Sofia's whereabouts now?" ask Nazir.

"No. It's from Mom, I told her that Ismalia has returned home." said Mandala.

"What's.... Alhamdulillahot. Then how can it?" nazir asked again a feeling of wonder.

"Said Mother, Ismalia ran away from the kidnapper. We'd better go home, we'll ask Ismalia about this. Who knows if we've got any other leads on the kidnapper as well as Sofia" Mandala said.

"All right, come on."

"Hm.." cried Mandala nodding her head.

Mandala and Nazir went downstairs to the parking lot. In the parking lot they entered the car directly towards his residence at moderate speed. Because at night where the traffic on the road is very crowded and must be careful.

...🌹🌹🌹...

Ismalia who was in Erika's room had finished bathing and getting dressed. Erika continued to look at Ismalia who was combing her hair in front of Erika's ornamental table.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" ask Ismalia wonder.

"Gue was scared." replied Erika.

"Fear..fear why?" ask Ismalia again.

"Fear you didn't come back and I lost Lo."

"Why talk like that? The proof is now that I'm home and in front of you."

"But..."

"Yes, aamiin please. Oh yea...Do you know anyone who kidnapped Lo at the time?"

"Know."

"Who?"

"The woman you said was obsessed with your father."

"Who? Sofia." - sofia."

Ismalia answered with a nod of her head.

"What's? Really yes women itch, until the whole obsessed with father. Is it crazy for women?" said Erika.

"Gue doain may he be quickly found by the police and severely punished. What needs to be put to death so that he does not do it again." said Erika back with a furious feeling.

"It has. We better get down, everybody's gonna be waiting for us downstairs."

"Hm.. okay."

Ismalia smiled at Erika and then headed down to meet Mastiara, Rika, and others. While tracing the stairs, Mastiara had already prepared food for Ismalia. The finished Mastiara served a smiling meal to Ismalia and Erika who were approaching the dining table. Ismalia began to sit down and eat her food.

They continued to watch Ismalia eating with a smiling face. Ismalia who felt noticed felt astonished but still ate his food.

"Son Is, how did you get here?"

"Is can get here when it's right Is out of the forest ..." explains Ismalia cut off by Rita.

"What forest? So you were taken by the kidnapper into the forest? Where's?" ask Rita.

"Yes, grandma. Is's location does not know where is definitely far from this city. When you can get out, find the highway. I am grateful to be free of them. Because the road is deserted there are no cars and traffic. Is decided to walk slowly, but suddenly there was a truck passing. Is tried to stop the truck and Alhamdulillah the truck stopped and was willing to give a ride to Is."

"Then." asked Erika to focus on listening to Ismalia's story.

"The driver of the truck was a man named Mr. Sutiono."

"Sutiono.." asked Mastiara.

"Yes, Mom. Mr. Sutiono is a palm oil worker. At that time, Mr. Sutiono brought a truck filled with palm oil to be taken to the city. With kindness, when in the middle of the road when Is overslept without Is realizing Mr. Sutiono bought Is food and drink. Mr. Sutiono forced Is to eat because he said he was kasian to Is and hungry. So Is received the food, finished we continue the journey until Mr. Sutiono deliver Is here until safe." explained Ismalia who had finished eating.

"Not only that, when Mr. Sutiono arrived here he would not leave if Is did not get into the house. After Is entered the house then he set out to run his truck. Mr. Sutiono is very good and Is plans to visit him." explained Ismalia again.

"God's Masya. Very kind Mr. Sutiono. I'd love to thank her." said Mastiara.

"True, God willing. Then do you know Mr Sutiono's home address?" ask Rita.

"Alhamdulillah, know Grandma. Before Is got off Pak Sutiono's car. He had time to tell his address to Is."

"When we can visit him and give him a gift. Oh yes, what about Mr Sutiono's family?"

"Pak Sutiono lives with his wife and son. His wife is a housewife while his son is still in school" said Ismalia.

"Then we buy something for his wife and child" said Rita.

Ismalia was about to speak again. Suddenly Mandala and Nazir hit Rita and the others. The mandala sitting in front of Ismalia only stared fixedly at Ismalia. Ismalia who was stared at just lowered her head did not dare to look at Mandala's eyes.

Rita, Erika, Mastiara, Mardian, and the others who already knew the intent of the gaze immediately turned towards the lounge. Nazir sat next to the Mandala. The look of the Mandala was frightening to Ismalia. Mandala began to ask Ismalia about her abduction.

"I want nanya. Do you know who's behind your kidnapping?" tanya Mandala still attached to Ismalia.

"I.iya. Tau.." replied Ismalia whose gaze was bowed.

"What Sofia?" tanya Mandala made Ismalia hold her head up staring at Mandala.

"Ba...how does Om Mandala know?" ask Ismalia back.

"Do you also know any of Sofia's men who kidnapped you?"

Ismalia simply replied by shaking her head with her face staring at Mandala.

"But can you recognize it?"

Ismalia answered again with a nod of her head.

"If for your place of confinement, do you still remember it?" ask Nazir.

"Yes still. The place is outside the city precisely in the middle of a large forest far from the highway. For the name of the area I do not know. All I know is that the highway is usually driven by trucks carrying palm oil to the city."

Nazir and Mandala looked at each other and then turned to look at Ismalia for a moment. Mandala again contacted Vino asking for Sofia's trace now.

"Assynolajet. How, Vin. Are you able to find out where Sofia is now?" ask Mandala.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. For now, not Man. Undetected where Sofia is at the moment, maybe her phone is disabled. But you take it easy, I'll work on it. If I get the location later, I'll tell you." explained Vino was fiddling with his laptop.

"alright. We will wait for the information. Thanks again."

"It's Okay, Man."

"All right, Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

Mandala closes the call from Vino.

"How did you get Sofia's information?" ask Nazir.

"Yet. Vino is still trying to detect Sofia's phone. Because the phone is likely disabled." Mandala explained.

"Then tomorrow we go to the police station to make a report. At once to the photo studio to sketch the faces of Sofia's men." explained Mandala again.

Mandala looked back at the bowed Ismalia. Unintentionally seen the wrist there are bruises and wounds. Mandala frowned feeling astonished. Suddenly, Nazir and Ismalia were shocked. The mandala stood up and moved from her seat.
