THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
The Hostage Liberation Plan

After putting down the glass, Via sat on the sofa and contacted Farhan.

"Assalamualaikum, Love," came a soft voice from the Via device.

"Girishalama, Hubbiy. How eyang? Stable?"

"Yes, it's stable" Farhan replied.

"Alhamdulillah" said Via.

Just now that Via was about to deliver the news from Kiki, Farhan had already gotten ahead.

"Love, dad Doni agrees Doni is soon marrying Dini, lo!"

"Alhamdulillah. Uh, did Doni just talk to his papa? Very fast?" Via surprised.

There was the sound of Farhan's laughter. Via widened his eyes, thinking Farhan was joking.

"It's serious, Love. After Mas provokes Doni at the request of his beloved wife, papa Doni comes out. We talked about marriage. Uh, papa Doni agrees with Mas, Doni should get married soon," said Farhan.

"O, so. Alhamdulillah, good intentions get the road good and easy," said Via.

"Yes, right."

"Someone wants Via to say. Kiki called earlier, telling her that the child from ART Eyang Probo was held captive by Rahardian's men in a remote place. The guard there is very strict."

"That woman is honest. Laly, what's Kiki's next move?" Farhan sounded impatient.

"Kiki hasn't done anything yet. He calculated that if he attacked frontally, there would be a lot of casualties."

"Kiki told Mas Edi?" ask Farhan.

"Yet. Kiki asked for reassurance from me, whether the child was released or not" Via replied.

"Love has given you an answer?"

"It has. The answer should be. Via wants the boy back to his mother. But the risk is too great."

"Try me to talk to Mas Edi."

"Kiki's advice, let's ask Om Candra for help. He has good people for this kind of problem" said Via.

"Okay, I talked to Mas Edi first, yeah! Now Love rest first. Assalamualaikum." Farhan closed the conversation.

"Getishalight."

Via saving his gawai. He reopened his laptop, doing some delayed office work.

An hour later, he was ready for bed. Before going to bed, he took the time to send a message to the husband to keep maintaining health accompanied by Waru leaf emoticons.

Edi knocked on the door of the room Via accompanied by greetings. After the greeting was answered and allowed to enter, he opened the door and stepped in.

Via was checking some documents he had to sign. Because Edi came, he stopped his activities.

"How about it, Mrs Edi?" ask Via after inviting Edi to sit down.

"On the kidnap of ART's child. I had a discussion last night with Mas Farhan" Edi said.

"Oh yeah, Mas Farhan hasn't told me about it yet."

"Yes, this morning Eyang Probo wanted to be accompanied by a chat, so Mas Farhan did not have time to contact Mbak Via."

Via smile. He was happy to hear Edi's explanation. In his mind, a happy Eyang Probo was accompanied by his grandson.

"Yes, Mas. Sure Eyang Probo happy. God willing is a positive development. O yes, how was the outcome of the conversation with Mas Farhan?"

"Yes, we agreed to release the boy. Kiki last night I asked to come."

Via nodding. He believes there is a mature plan.

"We agreed to ask Mr. Candra for help. There are teams that usually handle such cases," continued Edi.

"How risky is it? I don't want any casualties on either our side or Rahardian's side. They just run errands. Although Rahardian was wrong, let us not sacrifice the lives of his men. Let alone the people of Om Candra," pinta Via.

Edi took out a note from Kiki. He explained to Via the hostage release plan that they had designed last night.

Via listened intently to Edi's explanation. Sometimes he asks when he doesn't understand.

After Edi finished, Via gave his approval. There is some advice from Via to minimize the risk. Ed agreed.

"When will it be done?" ask Via.

"God willing in two days. We'll contact Mr. Candra. Maybe tonight they come. We had to discuss the plan. Then we will act tomorrow."

"Okay, I agree. What was their fate after the boy was released? That's also what we have to think about" Via said.

Edi flabbergasted. He forgot about that.

"Mas Edi forgot?" ask Via while smiling.

Edi was embarrassed. He regrets his boredom.

Ed raised his face. He salutes the thought of Via who quickly thought of a solution.

"Yes, I think that could be the right solution." Edi consented.

"good. Let me talk to Om Candra. Mas Edi just prepare the need for the release of the child," said Via.

Edi nodded. He immediately withdrew, returning to his room.

After Edi's death, Via did not continue his duties of checking documents. He called Mr. Candra first.

Back then, Mr. Candra happened to be not much of a job. He easily accepted the explanation of Via.

In the heart of Mr. Candra salute the way of thinking and acting of the nephew. Although female, Via is quite nimble.

Mr. Candra also agreed to Via's plan. He fully supports everything that Via has designed. He immediately ordered his men to help Via.

Via smiled with relief. At least, there was already a bright spot in solving the problem he was facing.

Last night he had the help of his grandfather to settle matters with Rahardian. This time he was supportive.

Via was lucky to meet his father's family. Although it was only a few years old, the blood ties were indeed stronger.

Just now Via will re-check the document, vicall notification of the gadget.

Via again undoes his intention to check the documents. He received the Meli vicall first.

"Assalamualaikum, Mel."

"Vaalaikumsalam. Via uh Miss Via is busy, huh?" It looks like Meli is showing off her row of white teeth.

"Obviously, this is again glaring at documents. Tumben this, vicall," said Via.

Meli pursed her lips. He put on a sulking mode.

"Ih, Ma'am Via diabolical. Wasn't it yesterday afternoon I was vicall?"

Via chuckled at the sight of his brother-in-law. He wanted to tease her more.

"Ah, yes, at that time you made the same agreement as Deck Azka, right? So sweet..," ledek Via.

"Iiiih, it's not like that. I was not accidentally with Mas Azka vicall," Meli protested.

"Oh, intentionally, that's okay. His name is also a couple. There is a love that makes one way," said Via Maaih eagerly meledek Meli.

"Ah, Ma'am Via ni! I'm sebel," said Meli.

Via chuckled at Meli's reaction. He was very happy because the girl was very familiar.

"Well, I almost forgot my main goal. Ma'am Via the hell seduces me continue," muttered Meli.

"What's wrong?" Via inquired in serious mode.

"Anjani wants to get married, no. Ma'am Via and Mas Farhan can come, right? Come on, Anjani would be happy if you guys could come. Later I send a photo of the invitation, yes," said Meli eagerly.

"Anjani is married to Mario?"

"Who else?"

Via was silent for a moment. He was eager to attend his best friend's happy day.

"Mel, I can't promise. Right now there are so many problems that I have to solve" said Via with a sad look.

"That's not healed yet, is it? You have to take care of Eyang" said Meli.

"Not only that. If Eyang Probo still has a mother's father who guards. After all, he has improved. There's another pretty weird problem, which we have to deal with on our own at the moment. It may take at least a week" explains Via.

"Oh, so. All right, I'll tell you later."

"Send our apologies to Anjani, yes. God willing if this problem can be solved quickly, we go to Jember," said Via.

"Hopefully the matter of Ma'am Via is quickly resolved. Aamiin," said Meli.

"Aamiinu. O yes, Ratna have you told me?"

"Yet. After this I call him," Meli replied with a cry.

"Yes, don't forget!"

After hanging up the phone, Via resumed his work. He tries to concentrate fully, forgetting about other problems.
