Sehan stared at the ceiling in the room and then his gaze focused on a part of a wall where there were displayed some pictures of innocent girl frames.From still a baby, he said,toddlers to teenagers really no other words worth saying other than the word 'beautiful'.

The man smiled as he rubbed the photo inside the frame with his right hand.

"So kangen".he said in his heart.

" I will soon allow you to be my wife and will give status to our daughter" she said, stepping over to her bed and sitting on top of her.

And before long the sound of azan isya reverberated quickly he also came out of the room to perform prayer isya in the mosque located not far from the house.

Arriving in the mosque the man went straight to the abudhu place after completion he went directly into the mosque to perform congregational prayer.

After finishing the prayer Sehan immediately rushed out of the mosque. But his steps came to a halt as someone rebuked him

"Assalamualaikum young man".he said and Sehan turned his head when he saw a middle-aged man standing with a smile looking at him.

" Waalaikumsalam salam sir" he replied with a smile.

" Can we talk for a second? He asked and made the heart of the young man in front of him wonder in his heart "what is this?

Even the middle-aged man seemed to know the uneasiness of the look on the young man's face in front of him, then he smiled and patted his shoulder

"Calm down, I'm the head of RT I just want to chat for a while. Can right? Ask and make the young man finally nodded his head a sign yes.

"Let's be more relaxed how about chatting him while coffee in the stall".

" Can Sir".answer.

Now the two men of different ages have been in the coffee shop while sitting facing very relaxed.

"What do you want to talk to me about?tanyanya started the conversation.

The man with the title RT inhaled deeply and then exhaled slowly.

" I'm sorry in advance if I may know your name and you are ready Mr Hadi Setiawan?

"My name is Sehan Sir. I am from Jakarta I happen to have a job near here.I am the same Mr. Hadi there is no brotherly relationship with Mr. Hadi.

" If Nak Sehan is not in a fraternal relationship with Mr. Hadi then why is Nak Sehan in his house?Sorry if my question offended Nak Sehan.

Sehin smiled too

"It's okay I understand so my meeting with Mr. Hadi was an accident when I saw Mr. Hadi fall from his motorcycle.And I brought Mr. Hadi to the clinic because his leg was injured".

" Did Mr Hadi fall off his bike?

"Yes sir."

"Then how is he doing now?tanyanya wants to know.

" Thank God."

Then now the two were silent while sipping their drinks each.Today the middle-aged man began to talk again.

"I'm sorry, son, I was suspicious of Nak Sehan".

" It's okay my father understood ".

"Son Nak Sehan

"ask for help?Ask what please Mr RT?

" Can you help Mr. Hadi find the whereabouts of his missing daughter, maybe Nak Sehan has many acquaintances or connections that can help.

Sehan was silent.

" Honestly we've been trying to help to find it but the results remain nil even until now we're just as tight as not knowing its existence."

"Honestly, we all feel very sorry to see the situation of Mr. Hadi.The problem he is facing now is so very heavy in addition to seven days ago his wife had an accident and suffered serious injuries and now his wife is in a coma "he said and made Sehan surprised.

" Hadi's wife is in a coma?

" Yes.Istri Pak Hadi was in an accident when he wanted to go looking for his daughter who was missing because he did not get permission from her husband she also ran very fast until the accident occurred."

Time has now shown ten o'clock at night finally the two men ended their conversation.

He went back into the room because his body was really very tired today, and he needed rest.

He laid his body on the bed trying to close his eyes but the results were futile in his ears still ringing the man's words earlier and it makes his heart now really feel having felt guilty for his one night with the innocent girl had made the couple suffer.

"O Allah, forgive the sins of the servant for doing the deeds forbidden by you. Forgive the servant of Allah".he said in his heart.
