The Destiny of the Mute Girl
Episode 26 ~ Winding Cloth in Balcony

...☘️☘️☘️...

"Bie... Bi Iyah saw Adek Wulan, didn't he?"

After dozens of times through every room in the house of the oma, now Damar back down every room again. More careful and more thorough so that no place is forgotten. After walking through the side yard and back garden, Damar who was still calm and not satisfied also came to Bi Iyah in the kitchen.

The middle-aged ART looked surprised when it saw the existence of Damar that appeared suddenly. But the busy Damar did not heed the shock of the ART and was engrossed in the kitchen space.

"Auntie's been in the kitchen since, Den. But there's no Non Wulan here. Since then Bibi has not met with Non Wulan." said Bi Iyah.

"Auntie sure you didn't see Adek?" ask Damar who is still unsure.

"Auntie sure, Den." replied Bi Iyah who tried to convince Damar.

Bi Iyah's answer made Damar's feelings even more unpleasant. Fear, anxiety and anxiety mixed into one. Not wanting to waste a lot of time, Damar rushed up the stairs again to the room of the sister who was still left wide open. Then he circulates the view, looking for what can be used as a clue to the disappearance of Wulan. But there is no one way to get out of this problem. The increasingly panicked Damar rushed out.

Crews!

Crews!

Crews!

Damar's steps stopped immediately, when the sound of a slightly open window sounded strong enough and successfully attracted attention. Slowly, Damar turned to the window that seemed to be unlocked as usual. A window that was never opened after a long time by the owner of the room. Why is that window open now?

With wide steps, Damar approached the window to make sure that his feeling was wrong. But Damar's guess was wrong and sure enough, the window of the sister's room was open and unlocked, like a window that had just been used. Damar also circulated the view out the window, and immediately his eyes were fixed on the winding cloth tied on the balcony.

Damar's mood was increasingly unsettled when he saw the winding fabric that was tied firmly on the balcony of his sister's room. Then Damar came out of the window, reaching for the winding of the cloth that turned out to be dangled in length to the bottom floor. Instantly, the heart of Damar beats very fast. Bad thoughts began to disturb his peace of heart and mind simultaneously.

"Is it possible that Adek ran away from home? No, no, no. It's impossible. But what's this long fabric winding for?"

Damar who was increasingly panicked continued to rumble, trying to eliminate bad thoughts and anxiety of his heart that was getting worse. The loss of the twin sister made him completely unable to calm down. Then Damar rushed back into the room of the brother, running shuddering out of the room about to approach the papi who was out of nowhere at this time.

"Damar... What's the matter, dear? Why did Mami hear the noise from this room?"

Just one step Damar was about to go down the stairs, suddenly the mother came out of the room and called out to him. For a moment, Damar's worry about the younger brother he had not found evaporated, exchanging great frustration and disappointment with the mother's attitude. Damar who was silent turned his head sharply, looking at the mother. While Mala was standing near the son with her face slightly wet. Looks like the woman who is the wife of Dhana Trinandaidi was crying because of the quarrel earlier. Damar did not heed that.

"What does Mommy care about? This is what Mami wants? Adek left this house and it was all because of Mami! Evil mom!!! Mami is really outrageous and has no heart!!! Because of Mami, Adek ran away from home! Because of Mami's words, Adek got hurt!" damar was so emotional that he lost his patience.

"Damar... What are you saying? Mami never taught you to be rude to an old man like this! That child deserves to be out of this house, out of your life and out of ours! That kid only brings shit into our lives!" serkas Mala who was carried away by emotions.

Damar's hands clenched firmly, his eyes reddened, staring intently at the mother who was very outrageous and had no heart.

"Mami.. even Mami does not deserve to be called mami, because Mami has no heart!!! Mami's heart is dead!!! Mami's heart is hard even beyond the hardness of a rock!!! Why the hell Mi? Why does Mami hate Adek so much? He is also Mami's son!!! If Mami hated her after she was born, why didn't Mami just kill Adek Wulan while she was still in Mami's womb! Why did Mami torture him like this, huh?! Damar is disappointed with Mami! If anything happens to you out there, Mami should take responsibility! And Mami never come near Damar again!"

Collapsing was already the defense of Damar's tears right in front of the mami who was staring intently at him. Tears that he had tried since so as not to fall, but in the end spilled also along with disappointment that seethed in his heart. Damar walked away, down the stairs and out. While Mala who seemed shocked by the words of the son, still quietly fixated on his position.

His eyes also look teary, not because sad but because they do not accept if the son continues to defend Wulan. There was not the slightest trace of anxiety on her beautiful face that looked flawed due to her bad behavior. There is only anger, annoyance and arrogance.

"Hopefully the child with the crippled unlucky bearer doesn't come home again for good!!!"

***

"Yes Allah... Where'd my daughter go?"

Dhana is increasingly frustrated, even now he is standing right in front of the fence of his house. Circulating his gaze, to the right and to the left, trying to find the speck of light he was searching for right now. Yet there was not a single person he could find in such a dark and silent night.

Panicked Dhana rushed in, but her footsteps came to a halt when the light of a car stopped right in front of her house. Dhana turned his head, trying to see who the owner of the car was.

"Uncle..."

Dhana blinked as the familiar typical baritone voice called out and seemed to run small towards him.

"Ziel... What are you doing here, son?" tanya Dhana who still looks panicked but tries to calm down.

"Ziel wants to stay here, Uncle. All of you want to accompany Damar and Adek to study. They're testing next Monday, right?" aiziel replied as she shook the uncle's hand.

Dhana was silent. His anxiety came back, enveloping his heart and mind intact because of the existence of Wulan that was never found. Seeing the look on the face of the uncle who looked panicked and riled up, made Aiziel frown in wonder.

"Uncles... Uncle why? Everything's fine, isn't it?" aiziel asked as she grabbed the uncle's shoulder.

Dhana remains unmoved. Confused, worried and afraid to mix into one, remembered with the princess who had not yet found her existence. Especially considering the late and quiet night, making him more agitated, unsettled and afraid if the princess really left this house.

Screaming of Damar's voice scattering out of the house, suddenly made the two handsome men of different generations outside the house jump in shock. The two turned their heads quickly, capturing the look on Damar's face that made Dhana even more unsettled.

"Capy.did, Pi! This is really bad!" sahut Damar who gasps.

"Why are you, son? What's so bad? Don't make Papi panic!" dhana said while calming her son.

"Shy, Pi! I ran away from home!!!" sahut Damar was still panting.

Dhana and Aiziel are shocked to hear Damar saying that Wulan ran away from home. The two throw views at each other, while Damar, still gasping for air from running, tries to control his breathing.

"What are you talking about, Damar? Where might Wulan run away from home." said Dhana who did not believe even though his heart was worried.

"Oh, maybe, Pi! Damar found a cloth winding on the balcony of Adek's room. And the cloth dangled long downstairs. Adek must have used it to come down from above, Pi." replied Damar who tried to convince the papi.

"No, this is impossible!!! My daughter can't leave the house! O Allah... What other test is this? Where's my daughter? It's getting late!" cercah Dhana who continues to rummage while scrambling her hair.

Aiziel and Damar who were still standing there were immediately holding Dhana's body which was almost completely out of control. Then Aiziel glanced at Damar, as if asking Damar to explain everything. Damar who understood also let out a rough sigh. Then...

"Mommy told us, Mas. If Pakde Ammar was admitted to the hospital after seeing Mas Ziel and Mas Al fighting because Mas Ziel defended Adek. Mami blames Adek for all this and. and maybe that's why Adek left, Mas." said Damar who still holds the papi.

"Your mother is completely out of her mind, Damar! Sorry if Mas said this in front of you and your papi. But this is too much! We better get to Mas' house now. We take Uncle Dhana and we look for Adek together." said Aiziel who looks furious but as much as possible he could bear.

"That's better, Mas. Without Opa and Oma in this house, it feels like hell!!! Mami has not changed and may never be forever" Damar said.

"You have to be calm and be sure that Adek will be fine. Come on, let's go!!!" aiziel answered who was still holding Dhana.

Damar nodded obediently and they walked towards the car. But when Aiziel was about to open the car door, Dhana who had been seen in heavy shock and just silent, now realized but was leaning on the car door. Then...

"Where are we going? Uncle has to find Wulan, Ziel!" dhana said, who was holding her body, refused to get into the car.

"Uncle calm down first. Better get to Daddy's now. Let's talk about this with a cool head so we can find a solution. Uncle just calm down. Ziel will come looking for Adek until we meet. Adek will be fine, Uncle." said Aiziel while calming Dhana who is still leaning.

"No, Ziel!!! Uncle does not want to make your daddy think again with all these problems. Your problems with Al alone are not finished, son. How could Uncle possibly bring new trouble for you and your daddy? No!!! Uncle won't go to your house! Don't tell Mas Ammar, Sister Ibel, Father and Mother. They can't know about this!!!" Dhana.

Aiziel and Damar looked at each other. If this is the case, they have no choice but to follow Dhana. Because they also know Ammar's current condition is not fully stable.

"Then we have to how else Pi? Damar is confused where to find Adek" said Damar who tried to convince Dhana.

"You take it easy, son. Papi promised to find your brother soon. Papi will take her home. We will gather again as we have. Papi promise!" dhana answered who grabbed the body of the son and hugged him tightly.

Broken already crying Damar in the arms of the papi. So too with Dhana. The crystal thread that had been stuck since, piled up in the eye pelup had now fallen already. While Aiziel who saw the two crying also shed tears. Given the fate of the little brother out there who's somehow like this right now. Is he okay or is it the opposite. He did not know, as did Dhana and Damar.

"Uncle. if Uncle won't go to Ziel's house. How about we go to Paklik Sadha's house? Ziel believes Paklik can help us to find Adek's whereabouts. We can't move on our own, Uncle. It's getting late and we never know what's going on out there with Adek. Ziel knew Uncle would find Adek. But Ziel please, do not endanger Uncle at a late night like this." said Aiziel who tried again to persuade the uncle.

However, Aiziel will not be able to let the uncle walk alone. Especially late at night like this. The declining nature of the nature of the daddy looks very clear tonight. The sense of caring for family becomes the most important thing and a priority for Aiziel.

Dhana and Damar also broke his embrace, turning to Aiziel who stared fixedly expectantly, if the uncle accepted his advice this time. Aiziel understood the purpose of the uncle who did not want to ask for help from the daddy. But that does not mean, the daddy becomes the last choice because there is still the client who is definitely willing to help them.

"Ziel please, Uncle! We go to Paklik's house now and ask for his help. Ziel believes Paklik will and there is Syahal who will help us find Adek" said Aiziel who tried to persuade the uncle.

"Mas Ziel is right, Pi. The three of us are not enough to be able to find Adek late at night like this. Paklik Sadha and Mas Syahal will help us." said Damar who coaxed the papi.

Dhana was silent, seeing the two alternately who kept looking at him wistfully and full of great hope. There is no other way, nor does he want anything to happen to the princess out there. For a moment Dhana was silent, suddenly his memory returned to spin when he saw the shadow of the younger brother who appeared when his hand was about to slap the face of the wife. As if giving greetings and also a warning to him, that the late brother does not like things that smell roughness.

After a long silence, thinking and weighing the words of Aiziel and Damar, Dhana let out a long sigh.

"Alright, we'll go to your uncle's house!!!"
