The Love I Don't Miss
Part 33 (Lost Tub in the Earth Swallow )

With devastated feelings of losing both parents in less than a week. And now it is even more fragmented because of the disappearance of the figure of Calina Agasta, his second wife.

The figure he had only realized if his presence was valuable enough in the past year. The figure that stole his attention silently was not even noticed by his heart. Ignored but very effective when all disappear just disappear.

There were no tears dripping, but with still damming the clear circles in his crackers, Zio returned to his room. Snatched his cell phone and car keys, then darted out the fence, for one purpose.

Looking for the figure of Calina, his second wife who is now out of nowhere.

Driving his car with a feeling that is very difficult for him to clearly articulate. All he knew was one, regretting making the girl uncomfortable while with him. Even as he realized there was something else sneaking into the recesses of the heart. He just brushed it off and dodged it all.

Looking to the right and left, hoping to find Calina on the edge of the road. But where might he find it. Calina is not a soap opera player, who if run away from home will drag her suitcase by the road to find a contract.

The roar of Zio's car sounded quite slow. Because Zio is too focused to look around. Want to enter every alley - an alley lined up on the side of the road, but manalah able. Searching for someone in the Capital with hundreds or even thousands of street and alley names, is not the same as searching for one address through Google Maps.

Zio's phone rang, the call sign went to his private number. Picking up a flat object from the side seat, Zio immediately saw who called him. Little heart hopes that the name Calina will appear. But he even forgot, if he never kept his second wife's mobile number specifically. Even he did not know what numbers are arranged in Calina's mobile number.

"Well!" furious Zio hit the wheel of his car, as if he wanted to hit his own head.

Then he read the name of the caller, where the name that appears is the name he pinned to his first wife, Naura Azalea.

📞 "Hello?" jio replied in a lethargic tone.

📞 "Honey! Don't forget to play in my house, yeah! Take Calina too! I've cooked a lot for you!" naura's words are inversely proportional to Zio's tone.

Zio was silent a thousand languages, letting out a long sigh. His lips could not speak. Only the tightness within his chest controlled him at this moment.

📞 "Hello, Honey? Why are you quiet? Calina doesn't have a show, does she?"

📞 "Honey?"

📞 "Yes?" naura answered putting on her ears well. She believes something is wrong with her husband.

📞 "Calina goes from home.." - jio Pilu.

📞 "What!" exclaiming Naura. "What's wrong with Calina? There's no way he's just gone, Mom!"

📞 "You're right, Naura! Last night I accidentally made her mad.."

📞 "Mas... You always have been! I said it many times. Treat Calina well and gently!"

📞 "I'm just pissed! When I got home he wasn't home! And half a night, he just got home..."

📞 "Tch!" Naura stomped her legs irritated. But being upset with your husband is not the right thing either. "Where are you now?"

📞 "Finding Calina.."

📞 "Where to look?"

📞 "On the road! I hope he's not too far away."

📞 "Mas! You're using your brain, no! Calina is not a child who if she runs away from home she will hang on the street! Calina must have had a purpose!" naura sprayed anxious at her husband. "Try looking for him at the old boarding house! Or ask your best friend!"

Zio began to think, it could be, Calina returned to the boarding house where she used to live before marriage.

📞 "You're right, Honey! Why didn't I think about it!" zio's grouse was getting more and more stupid.

📞 "Now you search there... I'm waiting for news from you! I'll also enlist the help of the IT Team at the office to track down Calina's cell phone!"

📞 "Yes, Honey! you're right!"

The phone call ended. And Zio immediately darted towards the simple boarding place that Calina had occupied since he first set foot in the Capital.

***

"Sir Calina is never here again, Mas. Ever since he got out of the hostel over a year ago!" said the owner of the boarding house.

"Oh... I see, yes..."

"Yes, Mom!"

"I'm sorry, Mom!" pamit Zio after believing there was no Calina in one of the rows of rooms was the boarding house.

"Yes, Mom!" answer Mother kost.

Zio let out a heavy sigh, he walked lethargic as he returned to his car. Throwing his body behind the wheel.

"Where are you, Cal.." - Zio was full of regrets.

Putting your head down. He stuck his forehead on the lower round object. His head is now. Until a whisper of heart says, he must go to the village and look for his mother-in-law's house.

Zio again sat up straight after getting a single search location. She thought the parents' house would be the main goal when a wife ran away from her husband's house.

"But what if Mama Shinta asks why Calina ran away from home? What should I answer!"

Confused Zio muttered to himself in his car.

"Aaakkhhh Zoo!" her screams brushed her hair rough. Random - Random his own hair as a form of annoyance at himself.

"There is no other choice! I have to see Mama Shinta!" muttered later. "Again... Mama Shinta could have known everything!" lirih continued.

Again - again his heart regretted being so crazy to make Calina's life meaningless for the past year.

"Well, if I have to, I have to bow down to apologize to Mama Shinta! I'm gonna do it! What matters is that Calina has to come back with me!" sure Zio in heart.

"You must be found, Calina! I'm sorry for being this stupid!" muttered Zio while starting the engine of his car.

He drove back to his car at the maximum speed he could. Outside the city must be crowded on Saturday. Either because many return home or for a vacation.

***

On the other hand, Naura was riding her matic motorbike. Drive the motor to where someone who works in the IT Team in his office gives the address where Calina's phone is.

Until he arrived in front of a two-story house. Small, not as large as his house, but looks quite well maintained and neat.

He knocked on the light brown two-sided door. And open up to a girl of Calina's age.

"You.." said the girl looking at Naura in surprise.

"Naura!" answer Naura politely.

"Yes, I know! Calina's husband's first wife, right?" ask Mereen in a slightly taut tone.

"Emmm... Yeah.." Naura. He realized Mereen's tone showed that the girl didn't like him.

"What's wrong?" ask Mereen flat. It does not even allow Naura to enter the house, or just sit on the porch chair of his house.

"Is Calina here?" ask Naura straight to the point.

"Calina?" ask Mereen astonished. "Why did you find Calina here? Calina comes home to your husband every day!" ketus Mereen's.

"Yes, I know... It's just that after coming home last night, it turns out Calina ran away from home! He just left a letter for Mas Zio!"

"What!" peekik Mereen could not believe it. His eyes widened to hear Calina blur. He's been feeling weird about Calina since yesterday, hasn't he? "You sure Calina ran away?"

"Yes!" answer Naura.

"Then you thought Calina would run away to my house? Calina's not a high school kid who's gonna run away to her best friend's house!" henta Mereen. "And again, how do you know my house is here?" Mereen flocked Naura with various questions that upset her.

Taking a deep breath, Naura had to be patient with her honey close friend. What he could have guessed would be a lion when faced with him.

"I asked Team IT for help to track Calina's phone. And Calina's phone was detected active in your home." Calina replied.

Smile faintly, "you're right! Calina's phone is in my house! Not with the owner!"

"You mean?"

"Think about it yourself! You're smarter than me! You're an important part of your husband's division, aren't you?" answer Mereen ketus.

"Please, Mereen! Tell me, where is Calina?" Naura pleaded with him deeply. He clenched his hands in front of his chest.

"You think I'm psychic? Who can look for a missing person just by closing their eyes?"

Sigh, "please, Mereen! Just this once! I'm sure Calina's here, right?"

"You mean, you're accusing me of lying?" mereen began to get emotional. Every time he saw Naura's face he was doused in gasoline. And with just a little spark, it could already burn itself.

"It's not like that.."

"Just enter! Search for yourself!" Mereen pulled Naura's hand and took her around her empty house.

Naura follows Mereen, who takes her down the two-story house. And the last place to go is Mereen's room.

"Look!" Mereen grabbed the cellphone sauce that was lying on her bedroom table. "It's Calina's phone, right?"

Naura reflex nodded.

"He put this phone in my bag last night! And when we got home, he forgot to pick up his phone again! And finally this phone is in my house!" clearly Mereen with a high tone.

In his mind, it's a chance to crash into his best friend's honey. Things he had long been waiting for.

"Now you're out of my house!" push Mereen. "I You want me to turn into a wild tiger to prey on you?"

"I'm going home." said Naura. He understands Mereen's explosive emotions.

"Hmmm!" answer Mereen ketus. Saw Naura coming out of her room on the second floor.

Mereen followed Naura's steps from afar. Stare hate the back wrapped in that crop jeans suit.

"Listen to me, Naura!" mereen said as Naura shampooed on the doorstep of her home. While he was still standing on the last rung of the stairs.

Naura looked back. Staring at Mereen who was staring at him sharply.

"Quite Calina to suffer with you! Ask your husband to let Calina go! She was crying enough! If Calina's gone, I'm sure it's because she's tired!" mereen warned in a flat but stressed tone.

"But we don't want Calina to leave, Mereen. Mas Zio was also trying to find him."

"What are you looking for?" mereen asked back emotions. "Wouldn't that if Calina left it would benefit both of you? You can stay in one house every day! Without fear of your in-laws come - arrive!"

"But I'm sure Mas Zio actually harbors feelings for Calina. It's just that he's hard to reveal!"

"Once again I say! Stop your charade!" mereen. "Calina deserves to be happy with her own choices! And you should know too! Realizing the importance of a person's presence when he or she is gone is sheer regret! Not real sincerity!"

"Mereen, please! Don't talk like that!"

"That's a fact, Naura!" mereen sprayed with increasingly sharp eyes.

Naura shook her head slowly. It feels like he can no longer accept the spray after the spray that Mereen throws.

"I'm sorry, Mereen!" pamit Naura does not want to prolong the problem again with the stubborn Mereen.

Not answering a word, Mereen snorted in annoyance. Then he shook his head slowly.

"Where are you, Cal! In this way what do I deserve to be called a friend?"

Mereen Grunts. Calina's passing was completely undetectable by him before this.

Between joy and sadness is Mereen's feeling. Glad that Calina was released from the inner torment. Sadly, he lost track of his best friend.
