TIME (For A Taste )
CHAPTRE 239

Happy reading....

“Astagfirullah!”

It is Reiji who gasps violently on the sofa in the apartment unit where he and Malia live.

Reiji rubbed his face violently, then immediately grabbed his phone that was on the nearby table.

“Lia!” muttered Reiji who was shocked to wake up because he had fallen asleep. “Not active yet again..” murmured again. “Eh but?..”

Reiji dyed later. Then looked towards his room and Lia, while Reiji sat down.

‘Who knows Lia has come home, but he's jerking so I don't wake up?..’

Reiji quickly got up from his place.

“Yang?”

Reiji called Malia with a unfortunately later name.

Although Reiji remembers if he did leave the door open before he sat on the sofa of his apartment unit and Lia, and the state of the door of his room was still the same - Reiji still hoped that Malia was already in their room.

But unfortunately, the state of the room was still the same as when last night Reiji entered. There's no Malia in it.

Making Reiji exhale heavily.

Reiji glanced at the clock above his bedside nightstand and Malia. ‘Gue wait for Lia in his office only if gini.’

Reiji nodded again.

“Gue connect Andra if so, let access get into his office he so I don't have to wait in the lobby of the building.”

****

‘Eh, but... It's Saturday?’ reiji said in his heart.

Who then stopped to contact his friend who was his boss Malia in his wife's office.

Afterwards, Reiji rubbed his face rough again. *‘S*t!’ he then cursed in his heart.

Then Reiji grabbed a little rough of his own hair.

“Pas really run away on weekend.”

Reiji muttered with a slight grumble later, covering up the uneasiness of his heart.

“Ah, but who knows if Andra told Lia overtime this Saturday..”.

****

“Assalamu’alaikum, Dra.”

The curious and frustrated Reiji keeps in touch with his boss Malia who is Reiji's old friend.

Then asked his old friend about his assumption who knew Malia had a work overtime schedule on Saturday.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Ji.” The answer from the person Reiji was calling sounded.

“Sorry disturb you early in the morning, Dra,” said Reiji later. Andra said it doesn't matter to that.

Afterwards Reiji to the point asked if Malia had overtime at the office today. “Ga there is a notification letter if your bini division wants to overtime today.” replied Andra.

Where afterwards Andra asked.

“Why?”

“Ga anything. Here I am again. I take the road, he says there is overtime he said today,” Reiji replied by lying to Andra. ‘Sorry, The. No meaning of your slander.’

Reiji grimaced in his heart then.

****

“Where else should I find Lia? Ck!”

Reiji grumbled and clucked after he finished talking to Andra.

“Duh! Liaa! Nyalain dong hpnyaa.

Snarling restrained afterwards, when after contacting Andra, Reiji tried again to contact Malia's cellphone, which Reiji had previously checked the status of his message to Malia with the same sign as last night.

‘I should go to my parents' house and my in-laws' house, they must be thinking. No problem anyway if I have to be honest with them about my problem and Lia now keep them want to be angry or maki-maki I abis it.’

Reiji was monologuing in his heart, when he was feeling deadlocked now. Reiji massaged his temple rather strongly, while thinking what he should do, where he should look for Malia, as he weighed – considering the things that lay in his brain.

“Mentok – stuck I entered Lia to missing persons report also yes???”

“Vi, Lia no phone lo?..”

I finally called Avi.

“In one time twenty-four hours back?..”

Because in the time I told Avi that, that is, until now, Lia's phone is not active as well.

“Baren doang I call him... why?..” Avi's answer to me. Then I told Avi I and Lia were having a fight.

Without me telling you the truth happened in detail.

Until in the end the real story I told, not only to Avi-but to both my parents and my two in-laws.

Because I feel like something's wrong.

It had been over 1 x 24 hours Lia could not be contacted, and Lia was not the type of child to let her parents worry because of her selfishness.

There was no news from Lia at all, and the two pairs of old men had worries on their faces, just like me.

Which means, both my parents and my in-laws really don't know where Lia is. And we all thought the same, if anything happened to have happened to Lia out there.

Oh God, protect my wife.

MALIA

There is a saying that says,

‘Your mouth is harimaumu.’

Or, or,

‘Observe – be careful at your every wish.’

And that's what I'm going through now.

---

“Lia.”

The voice of someone I had heard so much from yesterday I heard again in my ear.

And I reluctantly took the trouble to turn my head to look at the person who mentioned my name just now.

“Why haven't you eaten the food yet, Li?.” the person who called me is now standing next to me. “I want a bribe?--“

“I'm not a child. And please, leave me alone,” I said coldly to the man.

“Lia.”

The man then said my name again.

“Eat or I force?”

This time his voice was no longer as gentle as the first time he mentioned my name.

“Setter or later my husband will find me, Irsyad.”.

Yes, Irsyad.

Someone who is with me.

And right now, I don't know where I am.

Other than the expanse of trees seen from the window of a room in the place where I woke up after being unconscious.

That's why I remember the saying about ‘mouthmu harimau’ and in this case the one that suits me better is ‘be careful with your every wish’.

Since I was so upset with Rei, I had hoped to stay away from him for a long period of time. And the universe granted it.

I've been in the same room for two days now. Which if I look around from the window of the room where I am now, the house where I am in it, is not in the Jakarta area.

Not knowing where exactly, because since two days ago I was locked in this room by the reckless pebinor. Maybe even crazy.

“Haha..”.

Because he laughed after I warned him about Rei, other than Irsyad said,

“We are destined to be with Lia. I know you love me, but you're afraid of your husband right?.”
