THE LAST
33. Meet Tiara
When Hania returned to the kitchen, Ferry was there. The macho man revealed his smile, he must have known Arga who came to see him.
Some employees in the kitchen looked at him with smiles but did not comment. They must have been gossiping about it. Feeling caught off guard by the treatment of her employees, Hania immediately left the place. Maybe the office is better for him to relax.
Lisa's gaze welcomed Hania's arrival while greeting her. Then the girl with glasses was again busy with the paper sheets of her report. It's nearing the end of the month. He should immediately prepare the restaurant's financial statements.
Unwilling to interrupt, Hania simply walked past him then sat quietly on the long sofa that turned her back to the big glass window. He leaned back and then closed his eyes. It felt like the joints of his body were sore and his position leaning on the cushioned sofa backrest was so comfortable. He felt drowsiness began to perch especially plus a breeze as small as blowing from the open shutters behind him. It was like he was fanned.
"Mom, Bu Hania", hearing her name called, Hania awoke.
Lisa in front of him. That girl must have woken him up. He moved his eyes around the room. Uh. Turns out he's asleep. A moment later she got up quickly, she remembered not having picked Tiara up from her school. He hurriedly walked to his desk. He felt his life had not yet been gathered. Walk while holding on to the backrest of the single sofa next to him, then on his desk. Lisa tries to help but is rejected by Hania.
A wall clock hanging on the wall. 4 Hours more. He's late to pick up Tiara. Hania snatched her tot bag, and walked out of her room, in a hurry.
"I live first Lis, it's too late to pick up Tiara" he said while fixing his hair.
Meanwhile, Arga who was on his way home from his gallery accidentally saw a little girl similar to Tiara. The little girl seemed to be being held by a beautiful woman she did not know.
Arga's car passed by the little girl who resembled Tiara and the woman who held her hand. The little girl could be seen as much as she pleased but could only obey. Arga can also see the little girl occasionally struggling for release. Arga scrunched his forehead. What is Tiara? Who's the lady? Why is the little girl crying? Various questions arose in his mind.
"Stop for a moment Di", he ordered Adi who focused on driving.
Arga asks Adi to stop his car. He wanted to be sure of what he saw just now. He felt that something was wrong with their interaction. Adi stopped the car and pulled over not far from two other people of that age. The two men walked closer and closer to him. Arga and Adi just watched through the rearview mirror of his car.
"Tiara?", call Arga straight out of his car as the two men pass by his parked car, to make sure whether or not the little girl is Tiara.
Tiara who felt her name was called also turned her head. But he didn't know who the man was calling him. The woman also turned her head but acted indifferent and continued walking while pulling Tiara's hand.
Deg. Arga's heart is beating. The little girl was right Tiara. He got out of his car immediately. Seeing Arga come out, Adi came out.
Without any encouragement from where, Tiara turned her head back and looked at Arga. Staring fixed Arga. As if asking for help. Arga who was already suspicious seemed to understand the meaning of Tiara's gaze. The little girl just kept quiet must have threatened him.
"Wait!", Arga ordered.
The woman who brought Tiara as if she cared for her hearing and kept walking made Arga follow her, then asked Adi to follow her with a car to keep watch if it turned out that she had a partner.
The longer the faster the woman stepped up to make Tiara's stride. An impatient Arga ran after him. Arga held onto the woman's shoulder but unexpectedly, the woman brushed it off and punched Arga's jaw. Arga surprised. He was not ready to take a hit. Tiara who saw Arga was hit screamed in fear.
It turns out that the woman mastered martial arts although still below it but is quite proficient for the size of women. Arga mastered martial arts very well. Remember that! He's a black belt holder. But fighting a woman would obviously lower her self-esteem. Cement!
Arga simply dodged and broke his opponent's attack. Even Arga forbids Adi from approaching. But when the woman used her penknife and made Arga suffered a scratch on his arm, the athletic man lost patience. With half his strength Arga retaliated against the woman's attack to make her fall several times.
Feeling cornered, the woman pulled the crying Tiara in the corner and pointed her folding knife at Tiara, then towards Arga. Alternately. Arga did not expect that the woman would make the little girl a shield. It was right beyond her expectations.
"Look down Mba, we can have a good conversation" said Arga trying to negotiate.
"Who lo? Don't block me! Step aside!", harden the woman.
The woman pulled Tiara back. The knife he was pointing injured the little girl's left arm. Arga could see the blood seeping in his white shirt. The color is so contrasting. Arga disengages the intention and turns his brain around to save Tiara.
She should not have thought about her declining self-esteem fighting women and focusing on saving Tiara. After all, the woman was using Tiara instead. Thinking of his indecision made him furious.
"Lepasin the little girl I used to move aside" bargained Arga.
"My assistant is calling the police, maybe soon" in a calm voice, Arga tried to threaten him.
"Be quiet, little boy!" the woman snapped as Tiara cried even louder with fear.
"Well! Why bother this lo!", he complained later.
Arga was still trying to find an opportunity to release Tiara from the woman's grip. Then the tail of his eyes saw Adi's movement behind the woman.
"Is there really a problem are you the same kid? She was a child must not know what" said Arga distract the woman so as not to realize the presence of Adi.
"It's none of your business!", the woman snapped.
"Ck! Now it's my business, I know the little boy", said Arga began to get upset.
"What good is it about kidnapping her? Her parents are not important people, you will not get anything other than later languishing in prison", Arga began to heat up manasi.
"But his mother is important to me" he continued inwardly.
The woman seemed increasingly frustrated. His eyes began to unfocus. His once calm attitude began to fidget.
"Diaaaam!", the woman started to get hysterical.
Bruk!
The woman's body collapsed instantly. A golf stick landed sweetly right on his head. The culprit was clearly Adi. Adi, who saw Tiara being held by a knife, and Arga, who was not struggling, intended to help his superiors. Earlier, after contacting the police, Adi looked for objects that he could use as a weapon to help his superiors. In the trunk of the car only found Arga's golf equipment set. Take the biggest. And slowly approached the woman from behind.
Seeing the woman collapsing, Arga immediately ran towards Tiara and carried her away from the woman. Adi immediately curled up the woman, tying her hands with a tie that Arga threw at her.
Tiara who cried as she pleased, hugged Arga's neck tightly. Body shivers. The little girl was scared. Arga could only give a smooth elusan on his back, trying to calm him down. Still carrying.
Not long after the police arrived at the location. Moving quickly took the unconscious woman to the police station. A policeman approached Arga. He asked her to come to the police station to be questioned. Arga had taken Tiara to the hospital to treat her wounds and wounds.
Nearly two hours later, Arga, Tiara, and Adi were at the police station. Tiara's frightened and tired condition complicates the investigation process. Tiara just wanted to talk to Arga. Investigators asked Arga to be an intermediary. Every question the investigator would answer Tiara by whispering it to Arga, then Arga conveyed it to the investigator. It was exhausting, but Arga did not mind at all. He was happy to meet Tiara. Despite going through an event that almost harmed Tiara. Indirectly, he was close to Tiara.
"Darling, you really don't know the aunt?", asked Arga in a soft voice repeating the investigator's question.
"Tiara doesn't know Oom, never saw either", Tiara replied while whispering to Arga.
"Why did you get the same aunt?" ask Arga again.
"Tiara is waiting for Mama to pick up at the same security post as Mr. Amril, but when Pak Amrilnya went to the toilet tau tau aunty tau Tiara's hand pulled Tiara away", Arga listened patiently.
"Kok Tiara didn't yell?", Arga grew curious.
"Tantenya ngancem, Oom. If Tiara doesn't come with Tiara later on" replied Tiara innocently.
"Why is Tiara waiting for the security post, not in the school just to be safe?", which is not a question from investigators but from Arga who is increasingly curious.
"In the end there was no victory Oom. Usually if you are late to pick up, Tiara waited for Mr. Amril at the security post", explained Tiara again.
Arga. Just because Hania was late to pick him up, her daughter was almost a kidnap victim. Does Hania have enemies? Or someone who doesn't like it? Or maybe the woman was one of the wives of a striped man who seduced Hania? Arga did not know the motive of the woman who brought Tiara earlier.
