The Ugly Wife's
Get lost

After arriving at the place where the plane crashed, almost every time Zidan and his team spent, was used to explore every possible corner to be the place where Kemal was.

Like today, the 7th day of their search. The search began early in the morning and will only end when it gets dark. But during that time, there had been no progress at all that they had made.

Feeling disappointed and tired, became their mandatory food while in the place. But for the sake of seeing no more tears falling on Asyifa's cheeks, Zidan was determined to never give up.

"It turns out you're here. Why not go clean up?" tanya Raka gave Zidan a daydream, which was still at the boundary of the scene.

"Raka, do you think we're gonna make it to Asyifa's father?"

"Why are you asking like that? Where did your spirit and your confidence go before we got to this place? Don't tell me you've given up"

"I'm not giving up. I'm just afraid that until the last day we're here, we haven't been able to find Kemal. I'm afraid to let Ashifa down, Ka"

"I can understand how you feel now. But I also can't say that we're going to make it, because I'm not God. Therefore, we must ask God so that we can succeed. You know what I mean, don't you?"

"Pray?"

"Yes Zidan, pray. We can indeed work hard to find Kemal, but for the results it is still God who can determine everything"

"Truely you said. How about we pray together now?"

"certain. We're with Adam and the rest of the team"

Raka and Zidan got up from their seats to go to the resting place. But not yet both of them stepped, Adam's figure was seen running in a hurry towards them.

"What's up, Dam? Why are you running around, is there anyone chasing you?" ask Raka to be astonished.

"I_it, the search team for the victims of the crash sent by the aircraft company and also by the government, said that their search was stopped today"

"What's? How could they just stop the search?"

"But Zidan, I think what they're doing is something that fits the rules. They have put all their energy into searching for 8 full days" explained Adam, trying to dampen the anger that began to be seen clearly on his best friend's face

"I want to talk to their leader, or whoever is responsible for that decision you said!"

"All right, I'll drop you off. Come on along"

Raka and Zidan followed Adam to the team's tent, and immediately asked for permission to meet with the person in charge.

A man who looks around the age of 50 years, welcomes all three with a serious face but still looks friendly.

"Good night, Mr. Zidan, and good night, Mr. Zidan's friend. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Of course, Mr. Willy" replied Zidan, reading the name on the man's chest.

"In that case, please sit down first. Do I need to prepare a drink?"

"No, thank you. I just want to talk to you about what I want to talk to Mr. Willy"

"Please, I'll listen"

"I just heard news from one of my best friends who said that, Mr. Willy will stop the search for victims. Is that true?"

"Yes right Mr. Zidan, I will indeed stop the search and tomorrow all team members will return home"

"How could you decide such a thing, while there are still many victims out there that can not be found? Didn't Mr Willy pass on to the families of the victims who had been waiting for news from the search team?"

"I know that the families of the victims have high hopes for us, but we have also done what is our duty in accordance with the regulations. I cannot allow my team members to continue forever, because just like the victims, they also have their own families and lives. I hope to get here, Mr. Zidan can understand it" Willy explained at length.

Hearing Willy's explanation, Zidan felt as if he had just been awakened. What the man said was absolute.

Because it is impossible for them to sacrifice their lives and their families, for the sake of some people who are uncertain of their existence and condition, whether still alive or already a corpse.

Their job is to find victims, but for a predetermined period of time, and not forever.

Seeing the silent Zidan with a sad face, made Willy's heart feel a little moved. The man sighed slowly and began to speak again.

"I know what Mr. Zidan feels like now. Because the reason I became like today, is also because I had experienced what it felt like to lose a valuable person in my life"

"Have you ever lost a family member too? Who sir?" tanya Raka sympathized.

"My mother, and it happened the same as it is now, in a plane crash. Therefore, I want to give you some help"

"Whatis that? Are you going to order your team members to go back on the search?" ask Adam expectantly.

"From the beginning, I did intend to continue this search, but with a different person. And to make that happen, I need help from Mr. Zidan"

"What help?

"His help is, Mr. Zidan and his two friends, Mr. Zidan, must submit a letter adding search time"

"If you file the letter, how many days will we get?"

"Week, and with new team members. I think if I use Mr. Zidan's strength, it's not a difficult thing"

"alright. I'll have my men submit the letter, but I want Mr. Willy to remain the leader"

"It is with pleasure Mr. Zidan" replied Willy with a happy smile.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Willy, for the solution and for the help"

"Together Mr. Zidan"

The four men began shaking hands with each other, as a sign that they were now in the same boat.

*****

Willy began to explain one by one about the condition of the surrounding area and also introduced a map to the new team members.

Exactly at 9, Willy along with his team and Zidan with his team, began their search.

Zidan chose to explore the location around himself, because there are several corners on the map that he felt had never been traced by others.

"Are you sure you're going to that location alone, Zidan?"

"How many more times do I have to tell you, Raka? I was so sure to go there, because I don't know why my gut was telling me there was something there"

"But instead of that part, is already outside of the location specified for us to search? Isn't that dangerous?" ask Adam worried.

"It's not our part, but I intend to explore it. Who knows if my instincts are right, and I found a clue about Kemal there.

"But it's too risky for those of you who intend to go alone. What if you get lost? That would definitely make Asyifa and Lilian's mother very worried"

"That would never have happened to Adam. I'm not a kid, who doesn't know how to read the way home on a map. As long as I have this map, I will definitely never get lost, so the two of you will not have to worry"

"It's up to you" replied Adam and Raka resigned.

"Then we part here, I'll walk first. See you in our tent" said Zidan as he waved both hands.

Raka and Adam who saw Zidan's figure walking further and further, immediately rushed to step in the direction of the other and began their search.

At first everything went well, and Zidan was able to get to where he was. But after searching for hours there, not a single clue was obtained by the man.

Feeling tired and upset, Zidan chose to rest under a large tree while enjoying his lunch.

"Well, I miss Ashifa's face. It turned out to be exhausting to also do a search to this place. Or is this because I have not exercised for a long time, so quickly feel tired?" gerutu Zidan, put the supply back into the bag.

The warm atmosphere, and the gentle breeze that was blowing slowly came crashing down on his face, making Zidan slowly feel a deep drowsiness.

"I'll sleep here for a while, then just continue my search again"

With his bag as a pillow, Zidan laid his body on the ground and put his eyes together, flying into the dreamland.

It did not feel the day began to afternoon, and the sunlight began to slowly disappear from the top of the earth, changing with the darkness of the night that came to welcome.

Zidan who felt a change of atmosphere around him, began to wake up from his sleep. He became very surprised when he found the surroundings had turned pitch-black.

"Gosh, why did I fall asleep all this time? I have to walk home right now, luckily there's a flashlight I'm carrying in my bag. But where's my map?" zidan asked in astonishment, when he realized that the map he had placed next to him had been lost.

It turned out that during his sleep, the wind that came blowing accidentally made the paper fly far in the air and just disappear.

Now Zidan's only hope and road guide has been lost, making him completely lost alone in the wilderness.

Despite being upset and feeling angry with the circumstances that befell him, Zidan prefers to make his place berated from what nature has provided for him.

On the other hand, everyone panicked instantly when they found out that Zidan had not returned from the search, not least Raka and Adam.

"Where is Zidan now, why hasn't he returned yet? Is he really lost?" ask Raka to panic.

"But where possible, even though it was night, as long as Zidan had a map and also a flashlight in his hand as a light, he couldn't possibly get lost"

"Then, what if the map or the flashlight went missing somewhere? It must have made him lost, right?"

"Arghh! Can you not make me also follow negative thoughts? Try to think positively, maybe he really wants to continue the search a little longer and not get lost!"

"But Adam, like____"

"Enough! I don't want to hear any more bad possibilities coming out of your brain. Tell you what, we'll catch up with Zidan if he doesn't show up in an hour. Agreed?"

"can't. Saga won't let the two of you or anyone else get back in there, at night. We can only catch up with Mr. Zidan, when it's morning" Willy said suddenly.

"But Zidan was lost alone in the forest sir. What if something bad happens to her?" tanya Raka started to look annoyed.

"It can't be"

"Why do we have to listen to Mr. Willy's words to get in there? We'd better take care of the father" Adam's timpal, follow along upset.

"Sir Zidan and I have agreed to cooperate, it means my members are members of Mr. Zidan and vice versa. The chairman of this place is me and Mr. Zidan, because Mr. Zidan does not exist, it is my duty to oversee everything here, including the two of you"

Hearing Willy's reply, Adan and Raka were unable to say anything more. Both of them chose to sit still on the ground while looking towards the forest, with a clear face.

For some reason, Willy seemed to know what the meaning of the two men's behavior. Right, they're acting so they can be allowed to go after Zidan.

"Alright, I will grant your wish to follow Zidan"

"What's right, sir?" ask them both with glowing faces.

"But I'm the only one who's leaving, and you two are here to take my place to watch the rest"

"Alright sir" answered the two with a face that turned limp again.

"No need to put on a face like that, because it will no longer work on me. Then I'll go first"

"Be careful sir!"

"Hurry back, and don't forget the return along with Zidan as well!"

Raka and Adam continue to notice Willy walking away into the forest, which looks creepy because there is no light illuminating it.

Seriate...
