TAGGED WITH OM RICH
47. Renatta's Not Here, Sir!

After asking for help from his men, Richard then contacted his wife's mobile number.

But Richard was out of luck, because Renatta had turned off his phone first.

“Sayang. This isn't funny. You wanna play with me? You don't know who I am yet, baby.” Richard grumbled as he continued to try to contact his wife.

The man drove his car at a moderate speed. While keeping his focus, Richard scanned the streets hoping to see his wife.

Almost half an hour down the street, Rianna's grave suddenly flashed through Richard's mind.

“Mac. Renatta must have gone there.” Richard said with conviction.

The man drove his car to the funeral.

Arriving there, Richard found no one. There were only two bouquets of white Lily flowers on top of the mound. The one Richard brought, the other one must be Renatta.

“Sorry. I'd like to ask. What girl who often buy white Lily flowers today come here?” Richard asked the florist where he had bought it this afternoon.

“Iya, sir. The lady came a while after my father left. He also asked me, who bought the white Lily flowers. I'll just say a handsome guy. And the lady went straight away.”

Richard nodded in understanding.

“Thanks.”

Richard went back to looking, remembering, where and where if the wife was currently.

Cysts.

Yes, Gista is the wife's best friend. Renatta must have met the girl. Richard drives his car to Gista's house.

About half an hour from the funeral, Richard arrived at Gista's house. How did the man know the girl's address? Of course, all the things related to Renatta Richard had already found out beforehand.

“Pak Rich?” Gista said slowly when he saw who was knocking on the door of his rented house.

“There are those who can—

“Where is my wife?” Richard asked, interrupting. The man's gaze had already entered, scanning the contents of Gista's house.

“Renatta?” Ask Gista. Honestly right now the girl's heart is beating very fast. Perhaps, the teacher could hear it.

“Who else?” Richard Hardik.

“Renatta is not here, sir.” Saying Gista calmly.

“Don't lie to you.”

Gista gulped his saliva rough when he got a sharp look from his best friend's husband.

“I'm not lying, sir. Renatta is not here. You can check it if you don't believe.” Gista removed his body so that Richard could enter his house.

“No one ‘kan, sir?” Ask Gista after Richard returns.

“I will make a calculation with you if I know, you are hiding my wife.”

Gista sighed softly.

“Sorry, sir. Renatta was here. But not long after he left. I tried to hold it. But Renatta insisted to go.” The girl was then.

Richard was about to leave, then stopped his steps. He looked at Gista closely. There was no lie in the eyes of the girl.

“What can you say to believe? It wasn't you ‘kan who told Renatta to leave, knowing I would look for him?” Ask Richard full of questions.

Gista shook his head.

“But, I don't blame Renatta for his bad thoughts towards you guys. If I were in Renatta's position, I would think like that. Choose to go, to calm the heart and mind that is very chaotic.”

“But you know ‘kan if it is dangerous? Renatta could do something. Or is something bad happening to her out there?”

Gista nodded slowly. “I know. But I cannot forbid Renatta to leave. He needs time to himself.”

“Bos. I have not found the whereabouts of Miss. She turned off her phone so I couldn't track her.”

The message Bobby sent made Richard grip his phone firmly.

The sun had crept to the west end, but Richard was still on the streets and had not found his wife.

Richard pulled the car over. He leaned his back against the back of the car seat.

“Honey, where are you?” Mumbled.

Richard then opened the phone, looking at the photos of the wife who filled the gallery of smart objects.

The man then contacted Randy. Who knows, her brother-in-law has a clue to Renatta's whereabouts.

“How?” Ask on a cell phone attached to the ear.

“I haven't found it yet, sis.”

Richard took a slow breath. Without speaking more, he decided on a call.

Richard then contacted Dirga.

“How? Is your business done?”

Dirga's voice sounded like one who was disdainful.

Richard took a slow breath.

“Renatta heard our talk. And now, he's gone somewhere.” Then Richard explained.

“Sister-in-law go?” Dirga's voice sounded surprised.

“I'll have my men look for him, sis.” Imbuhnya.

“Ya.”

Richard decided on a call. The man closed his eyes. The wife's sweet smile flashed through her mind.

Richard was so scared of losing that woman. Even if he knew, it would never happen. However, Richard was afraid that after this, Renatta's feelings would change for him.

“Yes God, please take care of my wife out there. I'll take all the anger. Provided he returns safely.” Richard Mumbled. Without him asking, his tears met just like that.

Richard was a grown man. But he will be fragile if he remembers about the loss of the closest person.

The trauma of Rianna's departure was devastating. Even the fear that haunts Richard every day.

Richard did not want to lose because of his mistake again. Enough of it he was negligent.
