Twin'S
Endeavored

Early in the morning Laura had gone to Mario's residence. He wanted to ask for help in finding Yumna, though Yumna was also his daughter. Without saying goodbye to Anjani Laura down the road that is still quiet, lucky there is a motorcycle taxi driver who has gone early in the morning.

"Take me to this address sir!" pinta Laura, while showing Mario's home address.

"Good mbak, but the cost is a bit expensive. It's far from here,"

"Nothing sir, I'll pay. But I wait, yeah,"

"Okay, let's go up."

Laura sat down uneasily, worried about Yumna who did not know where. A few minutes later, Laura arrived. The road conditions are not too crowded, making it easier for the taxi that brought Laura to the destination.

"Wait a minute, sir. I won't be long,"

Laura hurriedly walks to the security guard post, and informs him that she wants to meet Mario.

"But lord Mario, may still be sleeping madam."

The security guard who knew Laura also called her mistress, because she was the biological mother of Yusra.

"Madam Laura," call Mala, when she sees Laura pleading with the security guard.

"Mala, though,"

"What's the lady doing here so early in the morning?" ask Mala.

"Mala please tell Mario, I want to see you" Laura said.

"But Mr. Mario is not awake yet,"

Laura closed her eyes. "Let me in, Mala."

"Alright, madam, wait in the kitchen" Mala suggested.

"All right, it's okay."

Then Laura told the motorcycle taxi driver to wait for her longer.

"What's wrong, sir? I'll double it, double it,"

"Okay, I'll wait."

"All right, thank you."

Then Laura followed Mala's steps, towards the kitchen. The kitchen itself is crowded with cooking activities.

"It's in the drink, mistress,"

Mala gave a glass of hot chocolate, to Laura as well as a strowberry jam toast.

"Thank you Mala,"

"Sama-sama, you just wait here first,"

Laura replied with a nod, while being cool to the photo of Yusra and Mario, suddenly a voice surprised her.

"What are you doing here?" ask Yusra flat.

"Yusra," said Laura.

"Mother wants to, meet your father."

"For what?"

"Want to talk, your missing sister," said Laura, staring at the expressionless Yusra.

"Why should I be looking for? He will be an adult, not a child anymore" said Dania suddenly behind Yusra.

"Well! Mommy's right, she's grown up for what she's looking for,"

"Yusra, you have no sympathy your brother is missing" furious Laura.

******

A few minutes they argue, before long Mario sleeps still in his sleeping pajamas. Because of the noise below, Mario just headed straight downstairs.

"Laura," he said in shock. "Laura, what are you doing here?" ask Mario.

Laura turned to Mario, then she approached Mario.

"Mario please find Yumna, it's been a few days she hasn't come home" Laura said.

"What?" squeal Mario.

Makes Yusra turn the eyeballs lazily, and Dania just thunts irritated.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, that time at Keano's wedding, he went to the toilet. I thought he was coming home but, after waiting, he didn't come home Mario" Laura said, sobbing.

"Already Laura, we'll find her. You calm down, ok."

"Yusra, he's your brother."

"I don't have a sister, Pih."

"Yusra papi please, don't make this matter worse. All this time papi always obeyed what you said, by forbidding papi to meet Yumna," said Mario staring at Yusra sharply.

"Here you go, son, let your papi find another child. Mami will help you prepare for your wedding with Hito," Dania explained, then Dania took Yusra away from the living room.

Yusra stared cynically at Laura, the mother who had given birth to her. Mario rubbed his face in frustration.

"If you don't want to find my son, I don't have a problem. At least, don't make my other children hate me, if my son doesn't come back to me." Laura said, then she walked away from Mario. Which looks confused.

Mario stared at Laura's back away, quietly, Mario walked into his study. And deciding to contact his men, Mario orders to search for Yumna.

"You take it easy Laura, I'll help you find our son."

Laura brushed away her tears.

"Why is it like this? Yumna, I'm sorry son. Hope you're okay." Murmured Laura.

Laura leaves Mario's residence, with a motorcycle taxi carrying her. After arriving at the house Laura found Anjani, waiting for her with warm tea.

"Where from?"

"From Mario's house, ma'am."

"Then? Does he want to help you?"

Laura shook her head, she resigned herself if Yumna did not return to her.

"Seek help, Miss Antiah. After all, she was Yumna's grandmother."

"I don't feel good mom, it's been too much trouble for her,"

*****

Meanwhile in Bandung, precisely Jakie's residence Bara's parents.

"Well, where's Bara? It's been a few days, I haven't seen him" Jakie asked Amira.

"I don't know, I guess he's always with you."

Jakie stared intently at the wife, then she stepped towards the car garage.

"The car doesn't exist either, where is the kid actually?"

"What's wrong?"

"It looks like Bara's not home, neither is his car,"

"Then where is he?"

"Try calling the number,"

Amira also according to the words of Jakie, but unfortunately Bara number is not active as Yumna number.

"Not active mas," he said anxiously. "I'm worried something's going on, ma'am."

"You calm down, I'll try to find him."

Soon Jakie gets a call from Antiah, with Jakie's hasty steps facing the mistress. Which she considers a mother.

"What's wrong, madam? Can I help you?"

"Yes, please tell your men. In search of Yumna, since Keano's wedding day, Yumna did not return home, and only now did Laura tell her.

"Okay madam, I will do. Then excuse me," said Jakie.

Responding to a nod by Antiah, Jakie suspects that Yumna and Bara are leaving together. But the question is, where did they go?

After informing his men, and ordering them to search for Yumna and the Bara's son, Jakie tells Laura that he has dispersed his men to search for Yumna.

"Thank you, Jakie," said Laura.

"Together, madam."

*****

Meanwhile the newlyweds, still feel awkward. They did not go through the first night like the other couple, when after the reception Zea and Keano just kept quiet.

And Zea decided to come to Keano's house, and Zea never knew what their loveless household would look like. He will let it be like running water, without them knowing that their matchmaking is certainly with a little coercion, and sacrificing the feelings of others.
