THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Look at Mira

They did not go from prayer until the dawn of the morning.

"Mas Farhan is going to the mosque? It's a little far from here. If the musala is about 300 meters."

"This time Mas be your priest, yes. I'm not sure the situation is completely safe."

Via nodded. He himself was not calm.

After the circumcision prayer, they established the congregational dawn prayer. This is the first time Via Makmum to Farhan.

When it is finished, Via takes care of the face. He'll cook for breakfast.

"There's a message from Edi. They're on the move. Mr. Beno has arrived" Farhan said, looking at his phone screen.

"O yeah? What's the news again?" Via curious.

"no one yet. Maybe now Mas Edi is focusing on Mira's rescue mission and the arrest of Mr. Beno."

Via paused his intentions into the kitchen. He sat on the sofa in front of Farhan. They were silent in a tense atmosphere. Their eyes stared at Farhan's flat square.

A minute, five minutes, ten minutes have passed. However, there has been no notification of anything on Farhan's phone.

Via took a deep breath to ease his heartbreak.

Flashback off

Via and Farhan are very tense waiting for news from Edi. Although there are already police there, they still worry about Mira's safety.

Via's eyes glared when he saw Farhan's phone lit up. As fast as lightning Farhan grabbed his phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Vaalaikumsalam. Thank goodness smoothly. Please go to the police station. Bring a change of clothes for Mira. I will share the location. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam," Farhan replied with a smile.

"How, Mas?" ask Via impatiently.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly. They are currently on their way to the police station. For more details, we ask Mas Edi directly."

"We'll go there, Mommy."

"Yes, bring clothes for Mira. Shower first! Uh, I don't bring a change of clothes. This is the clock where a clothing store opens."

"There's."

"Where?" ask Farhan in wonder.

"below. I don't know if there is anything that suits Mas Farhan's taste. If you want, choose it yourself. I'm going to take a shower first."

Farhan smiled. He forgot his wife was selling clothes. He went down to the 1st floor looking for clothes suitable for him.

"Eh, there are underwear as well as it turns out," Farhan murmured while looking at the number listed.

After finding the appropriate clothes, Farhan returned to the top. He called Azka to tell her what happened.

Just as Farhan finished talking over the phone, Via called him.

"Mas, this Via toothbrush can be used. Relax, it's new."

Farhan accepted. The scent of soap from Via's body tempted Farhan to come closer.

"Goup!" A friendly kiss landed on Via's forehead. Although not more than 5 seconds, it was enough to make Via hue and palpitate.

After dipping Via, Farhan casually walked into the bathroom. While taking a bath, he smiled to himself remembering what he had just done.

While Via hastened to take clothes for Mira while calming her heart.

"Assalamualaikum," there was a voice of people saying greetings followed by the sound of footsteps to the 2nd floor.

"Ratna's? Who's home?" ask Via as soon as he sees his best friend coming.

"Taxi driver. What are you doing again? How do you bring Mira's shirt? There's a car in front, whose car?"

"You want to dress for Mira. That's Mas Farhan. Now the guy's taking a shower. You want to come, don't you?"

"Where?"

"Police office. Mira was kidnapped last night."

"What's? Been kidnapped? You don't go too far, dong!"

Ratna according. He immediately took a shower and prepared to go along Via.

Via sat in the backseat with Ratna. On the way Via tells what happened until Mira was kidnapped.

"Actually their target was me. At that time, I was almost out to open the door. I thought you came back and forgot to bring the key. When I was wearing the hijab to leave the room, Mas Farhan called me and asked me not to come out no matter what. That's when Mira came out and was taken by the kidnappers. I remained in the room until Mas Farhan came," said Via.

Ratna glazed. He did not think Om Beno was evil.

"Pantesan, he often asks about your habits, our return as well" he said.

"You need to know also Rat, the person who terrorizes us with the package of submissions is your om. Similarly, the brain behind the second accident, which made Doni broke a bone. It was Beno."

Ratna was shocked. He stared fixedly at Via's face looking for honesty over the new one spoken from Via's mouth.

"You may not believe it. That's why when Doni told me about it, I didn't tell you. Doni, too, I told you to shut up about your om."

"Time at the cafe? Why don't I know?"

"Yes. When Doni told me about Om Beno, you were in the bathroom because of diarrhea. You remember, right?"

Ratna nodded. Tears began to melt on her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Vi. I didn't know that Om Beno was like that."

"You're not wrong, Rat. Oh yeah, how was the meeting? That worse?"

Ratna shook her head then replied, "It's just a little scuffed. I don't know, was it an accident or a charade, I don't know."

Via embracing Ratna's shoulder. He swiped so that his close friend would feel calm.

Shortly after, they arrived at the police station. Just getting out of the car, Edi had already welcomed their arrival.

"Welcome, Non Via, Mas Farhan, and Mbak ...."

"Ratna," said Farhan, "This is Mas Edi, Deck. He's the one who's been watching the situation at the shop for the past few months."

Via cupped his hands in front of his chest while nodding and smiling kindly. Ratna followed what Via did.

"Come. Poor Mira waited a long time. He's still in shock. Maybe Non Via and Mbak Ratna can calm him down" Edi said.

Just as they reached the front of the examination room, Mira ran over. He slammed into Ratna's arms and cried.

"Rat, Om Be-no terl-la-luan," he quipped.

Ratna hugged her cousin. Even her crying cannot be held.

"Have, already, sit down first, yuk!" bring Via.

Via guided the two sitting on a long bench.

"Mother Mira and Ratna, we didn't expect this to happen. Let this be a lesson for us. Everything has been explained by God. We must accept with a chest. As bad as anything, Om Beno is still your om. Especially Ratna."

"I'm scared. I was tied up by them. In fact, Om Beno could have wrapped a knife around my neck. Just a little misstep, my neck veins can break. It's creepy" Mira sobbed back.

Ratna and Via hugged the girl.

"Calm, Ma'am. Mira is now safe. Mira did not have to be afraid because they have been handled by the police" said Via.

"If there's another plot?" Mira is still worried.

"We continue to guard the shophouse, Ma'am," said Edi.

"O yes, that's Mas Edi. He'll watch over us, keep our safety."

Mira looked at Edi at a glance. He remembered that man was the one who bullied Om Beno.

"Now, Madam Mira clean up first. I've brought you a change of clothes and toiletries, really."

"Slayers?" whispered Mira.

Via nodded.
