The Married By Challenge
The Part 104

When her mom was busy looking for Sarah, Vino and the others came. And what really surprised Mama Vino was the arrival of Juan. The last time they met was when Juan had a party, and with his heart Juan threw his mother away.

"Where's Sarah?" asked Devano without a stale ado.

"He's... He's gone" she replied.

"I mean Mama? Go where?" asked Vino in panic, even Devano no longer knew what to say. He could only hold his breath with his feelings of crumbling back and his hopes dwindling. Naina and Juan show their concern.

"Mama also don't know, this is Mama again looking for him from earlier. Who knows if he's far away" replied the mother.

"Why can you go, Ma?" muttered Vino as if he wanted to cry. Worries also enveloped her heart, what else if it was true Sarah was pregnant. Where the hell's he going? Who's gonna take care of him?

"It's your fault, Vin. This woman takes care of her own child so you can, you even ask to take care of people's children" said Juan cynical who immediately made the mother's heart feel very sore. Naina who heard that could only gawk.

"Don't now, brother." said Vino who was also sad.

"Better now we find Sarah, who knows she's not far from here" suggested Naina.

While Devano's gone from there to find Sarah back. Without feeling the tears Devano returned to just like that even though he had been holding her back.

"That's how much you hate, honey? Until you keep running from me"

.........

Venita is out of the hospital, and William and the others try to hide Sarah's loss because they think Venita knows nothing about Sarah.

William and his family have severed contact with Devano, now they are looking for Sarah herself. William also asked his friend for help and spread missing person leaflets, the news was also posted in newspapers and TV. William desperately hoped this would speed him up to find his sister.

While Jason, the middle-aged man could only contemplate the departure of his daughter. He feels like he failed to become a father, and Jason deeply regrets his actions that led Sarah to marry Devano.

He also regretted saying that he did not want the existence of Sarah's fetus, stupefied in Jason's mind that maybe Sarah heard what he said. Maybe that's why he left. Because Jason knew his daughter so well, he was never afraid to face anyone and anything even Devano. Maybe Sarah left because she thought Jason didn't want Sarah's baby.

"Ma..." exclaimed Jason who saw Venita sitting pensively in his room "Mama thinkin' Sarah huh? Sarah's fine, she just went on vacation to calm down" said Jason so that his wife was not worried.

"I know.." Venita replied "He's saying goodbye"

"Sammit?" ask Jason wonder.

"Yes, he promised to be home soon. But I don't know when" Venita replied sadly.

William, who happened to be passing in front of his mother's room, overheard their conversation, and he immediately went in to confirm what he had just heard.

"What does Mama Sarah mean?" ask William.

"He wants to go, Will. His words just wanted to calm down. Mama's been persuading him, but Mama knows it's hard for Sarah"

"Ha... Pregnant?" ask meek Venita. Jason and William look at each other for "Sarah's pregnant?" ask Venita again.

"Yes, Ma" Jason replied in a low voice.

"Oh my God, my son and my grandson." muttered Venita holding her chest and her breath suddenly felt heavy.

"Ma, Mama calm down. We're all looking for Sarah again, she and her baby will be fine. I promise I'll find Sarah as soon as possible" William said.

"Find him, Will... You have to find it immediately" Venita said in tears. Had she known Sarah was pregnant, Venita would never have let Sarah go anywhere.

"Yes calm, Sarah's a strong girl. We know him very well, he won't give up on anything" Jason said, hugging his wife to calm her down.

"But she's pregnant, she's a kid, Pa. How can Sarah keep her womb? Where does he live? Same who?" say Venita while hiccupping. Venita knows how difficult it is to keep the womb, how difficult it is to go about her day during pregnancy. And how could Sarah go through such a difficult time alone, how could she?

"Mom.." Bi Inem's voice came from outside.

"Come in, Bi.." exclaimed William.

Bi Inem also entered with an envelope in his hand "There is a letter to Mom" said Bi Inem.

"What letter and from whom? " Task Jason as he picks up the letter.

"There's no sender's name, sir" Bi Inem replied.

"Thank you, Bi" said Jason and Bi Inem left. The envelope was named Venita Fergueson, and Jason gave the envelope to his wife.

Venita opened the contents of the envelope which turned out to be a letter from none other than Sarah.

"From Sarah.." said Venita.

"Random, Ma.." asked William enthusiastically. Venita also read the letter from her daughter.

..."Dear Mama's... As Sarah promised, Sarah will tell Mama. Sarah's fine, and Sarah's in a safe, comfortable place. Sarah please, don't worry about Sarah's situation. And Sarah please be with Mama, take care of your health and Sarah will be home soon. Sarah promised, Ma. And ask Brother Will to stop looking for Sarah. Sarah loves Mama, Papa, Kak Will and Kak Fe. "...

The tears of Venita and Jason trickle down reading the letter from their beloved daughter, as well as William. She felt very sad and failed to be a sister.

"What should we do now, Ma?" lirih William is sad "Even if Sarah says she's okay, but how do we know she's really okay or not?"

"We can't stop looking for her, Will"
