Long enough to be on the beach enjoying food at a beachside cafe. They finally came home on the way. No conversation from either of them. Only Mandala's cell phone ringing sounds. The call was from Nazir who provided information regarding the arrest of Sofia's relatives involved except for Gio.

Information is not known for sure. Because Gio already knew that he became a police fugitive. Gio will automatically go far to an area or abroad. Gio's a cunning man, to trick the authorities. He carried out disguise tactics when he was selling illegal goods such as drugs and human trafficking abroad.

Even though Gio's wealth is so sufficient. These activities for him make him add more wealth. The income from the results of these activities is then spoiled by going to entertainment and having fun with comfort women one of which is Sofia.

Sofia has now been handed over to the police station. By submitting some hard evidence to incriminate his sentence. Mandala and Nazir still sent some bodyguards to look for the whereabouts of Gio who went nowhere. Sofia's arrest will be no time Mandala told Erika and Ismalia. Especially about Gio who has not been caught.

This made Ismalia become alert and even afraid. The trauma of Ismalia has not gone away. Therefore, Mandala invited Erika and Ismalia to take a walk to the beach accompanied by several Mandala bodyguards. Their every move was never separated from the Mandala bodyguard.

Being in Erika and Ismalia's car was silent. There were occasional discussions between Erika and Ismalia. Mandala just silently monitored them from the rearview mirror of the car.

"Dad, is there any information about Sofia?" ask Erika.

"Yet. Why why?" answer Mandala.

"Not just ask. Yes, we've been caught."

"Will father try. That woman will be arrested soon."

"Ease that."

...🌹🌹🌹...

After a brief conversation between the father and son. They had finally arrived at the Mandala residence. Ismalia was not allowed to return to her home. Except for her parents who have returned home. For too long to leave the house and open his restaurant.

Erika and Ismalia who had entered the house immediately entered the room. To clean up and rest. Another Mandala went straight to her study. He had to contact Nazir to ask for more information on the report of Sofia's arrest.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum's. What about Sofia's report at the police station?" ask Mandala.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. The hard evidence has been handed over to the police. Sofia has now been put in a prison cell. More than a week from now Sofia will be in court. To know the verdict of Sofia's punishment." Nazir explained.

"alright. With the evidence available, may Sofia's punishment be aggravated. That he may receive his reward for his deeds."

"How about Gio?" ask Mandala again.

"Regarding Gio's information is not yet known for certain its existence. The men I asked were looking for him everywhere. Even to where he often hangs out, his friends, and up to his company."

"Staff at his company said that his boss had not been in the office for a long time. The CEO of his company is no longer Gio. Rather it was taken by someone who was none other than his own father." Nazir explained again.

"So, has her father been asked about Gio's whereabouts?"

"It has. His father said he had not known Gio's whereabouts for a long time. Since Gio used the company's money for his own sake. So his father fired Gio and took back the company."

"When to his friends?"

"Same. They also did not know of Gio's whereabouts. Last interacted about 5 days ago at an entertainment venue."

"That's not all, we've checked out his apartment. When viewed from the state of the apartment neat as it has been abandoned. The receptionist said Gio had lived in this apartment. It was a long time ago he left about a week ago."

"But I asked for Gio's phone number to the receptionist. We can trace Gio's last whereabouts. Even though his cell phone number is no longer used."

"alright. Better do it now, hand over the phone number to Vino to track down Gio's last whereabouts. With those tracks we can find the last location."

"good. Ahh one more, Gio is not an ordinary Mafia. Unless he is a dangerous and cunning man. She is also a rider and wearer and the boss of a syndicate of buying and selling humans, especially women abroad. So to be unrecognized officers he was able to disguise perfectly. Until his identity is faked. So as not to realize that Gio is undercover." Nazir explained long.

"Then send your men also to search in various areas outside or inside. Do need to send them to find Gio abroad. Dig up any country information that Gio came to." Mandala ordered.

"alright. I will send them. Hmm...what about Erika and Ismalia did they already know about this?"

"No. They don't know it at all. There will come a time when I will tell you this but not now."

"alright. Then I close first. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

A phone conversation between Nazir and Mandala unbeknownst to Ismalia heard everything behind the door of Mandala's office. Ismalia becomes caught when she sneezes. Mandala heard the sneezing sound and headed towards the door. Checking someone who is trying to listen secretly.

...🌹🌹🌹...

After Mandala opened the door, there was no one behind the door. When I went out to his room. He accidentally saw the reflection of Ismalia's face in the mirror that was not too far from the Mandala work room. Pretending not to know, Mandala continued to head to her room with a slight smile.

Ismalia who was hiding just breathed a sigh of relief because it was unknown to Mandala. Ismalia's mind became a little wary of Gio. Sofia was captured. Ismalia calmed her mind. He headed to the kitchen to make something to calm the mind, warm milk.

The Flashback

Ismalia was in Erika's room. Suddenly I wanted to go home to my own home. For him by still staying at Erika's house made her feel bad. Her parents have returned home. So Ismalia plans to talk to Mandala so she can go home.

See the time entering at 9 p.m. Ismalia asks Erika for help to talk to Mandala. But he saw Erika had slept soundly and felt unbearable. Finally he decided to meet Mandala himself in his study. For the entire residence Mandala Ismalia has been very memorized.

Ismalia has arrived in front of the Mandala work room which is only 2 rooms and 1 bulkhead. As she was about to knock on the door, Ismalia overheard a conversation between Mandala and someone. Their conversation is about the arrest of Sofia who is in prison and the search for Gio.

Ismalia was shocked when the arrest had been since this morning. And Mandala plans not to tell this either to Erika or to herself for now. Ismalia was a little wary and scared. But hearing this, Ismalia still wanted to go home. He prayed that he and his family would be safe and that Gio would be found quickly.

Flashback Off

Ismalia was in the kitchen making warm milk drinks with her back to the dining table. Mandalas that have finished bathing and want to take something in the middle house. He accidentally saw Ismalia in the kitchen making something. Mandala approached sitting on the dining table chair.

"Why are you surprised like that?" ask Mandala ketus.

Ismalia shook her head.

"Then why are you such a scared person?"

Ismalia shook her head again.

"Then please make me some coffee. Don't be too sweet just one spoon of sugar and coffee a spoon too."

Ismalia nods her head back to make coffee for Mandala. Mandala smiled a little because she knew that Ismalia must be a little scared. Because he had peeked into his conversation. So real from the behavior of Ismalia earlier.

"What are you doing on my front door?" tanya Mandala was shocked by Ismalia.

Ismalia who was stirring the coffee water stopped for a moment to hear Mandala's question.

"Come say? You've heard it all, haven't you?"

Without turning around, Ismalia remained in her original position with fear and guilt.

"Then I don't have to bother to tell you this. But don't worry, everything will be resolved soon. My men have been looking for him in various regions including abroad." explained Mandala.

Ismalia turned around because the coffee she made was ready. Hand it over to Mandala on the table. With fear Ismalia was about to switch but was stopped by Mandala.

"Wait first. I haven't spoken yet" said Mandala.

"You haven't answered my question? What are you doing in front of my office?" tanya Mandala stared intently at Ismalia.

Ismalia who was stared at just lowered her head without daring to look at the face of the sinister Mandala.

"Ma.sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I initially wanted to talk someone to Om. Then I accidentally heard it." Ismalia explained timidly.

"What do you want to talk to me about? Say?"

"Sa. I want to ask permission to go home to my own home. Because I feel bad if I continue to be here. Also my parents must have trouble at home eating without me."

"Are you sure? Don't you feel fear?"

"In the Lord, no. May my family and I be protected and the culprit arrested immediately."

"alright. Because I have no right to hinder you. I give the important permission you keep careful. And another one talk to Erika. If you're allowed to do it okay you can go home. If not allowed it should stay here." explained Mandala had finished finishing her coffee.

Mandala then turned upstairs to her room. Leaving Ismalia still standing by the dining table. While watching the back of Mandala who traced the stairs to his room. Ismalia became weak thinking about how to convince Erika. Because he already knew the nature of Erika.

...🌹🌹🌹...

The next morning everyone was getting ready for their activities. It looks like Bik Inah is preparing breakfast for the people of the house. Erika and Ismalia who were in the room also prepared the school attribute. And Mandala is ready everything to go down to the dining table.

She saw that Rita's mother was sitting on the dining table. The breakfast menu is just bread and fried rice. The drinks are tea and milk. Bik Inah serves breakfast for Mandala. Mandala looked over at Rita's mother. Recall of the last night's problems regarding the arrest of Sofia and Gio who are still fugitives.

For now, Mandala did not first tell them except Ismalia who already knew about it. Mandala turned her head up and Erika and Ismalia did not come down for breakfast together.

"Erika hasn't come down yet, buk."

"It seems like a little while. The makeup of a woman must have been different for a long time when she was a man."

Mandala continued to eat fried rice. Not long before Erika's screams called out to the rest of the room.

"Good morning everyone....!!!!" shouted Erika.

"Hushhh..can not scream in the morning blind." said Rita.

"Yes.iya."

Erika and Ismalia sat in the available seats. Bik Inah again serves breakfast for the two of them. Ismalia still has a little bit of guilt against Mandala. Remember that conversation last night with Mandala. Ismalia slowly tried to talk to Erika.

"Mmmm....Erika. Is there anything I want to talk to you about?" ask Ismalia doubtfully.

Heard Ismalia wanted to talk. Mandala looked only at Ismalia. So did Ismalia turn a glance at Mandala then turn to Erika. Erika's bribe stopped for a moment hearing Ismalia's question.

"Speak."

"Can I go home today?" ask Ismalia doubtfully.

"Why do you want to go home, son." asked Rita.

"Yes, why do you want to go home. The situation is still not safe. So you don't go home" said Erika.

"I can take care of myself. After all, my parents must have trouble at home eating without my help there. In Shaa Allah nothing will happen to me." explained Ismalia.

"can't. You can't go home until everything is safe. For mom and dad, let me talk. Okay..dots!" said Erika.

Mandala heard their conversation just smiled faintly. Then leave all still at the dinner table to go to the office. Ismalia who got the answer only weakened and was forced to accept.
