Until the End of Breath
130

Fardhan, Azka and Shandy had currently arrived at the location indicated earlier. The three began to look for the whereabouts of Maira, but there was no one found. But there are some traces left there.

" Look, here are cigarette butts and bottles of drink" Shandy said as he checked

" it's still new" Shandy continued

" so it means it's true that Maira was brought in ?" ask Fardhan again to make sure

" it seems so ! let's check " said Azka

The three searched every room in the old building. In the room used by Maira was still left a trace, the sign of the room was previously inhabited by someone.

" look, there's a rope. Looks like this rope was used to tie Maira here" Azka said

" and the former eats also drink this" Shandy said as he lifted a bottle of water and a packet of rice

" so it's true Maira was brought here. But the question now is taken where Maira ? " said Fardhan annoyed

" we're patient, just for a while to get here. Since it's late we'll continue this search tomorrow. We'll wait for information from my man first, who knows if there's any good information. But remember we must remain calm ! " say Shandy

" yes, my brother has also spread out to look for Maira. Now we go home and rest first" Azka said

Fardhan could not speak anymore, indeed this day was already night and he also needed to rest his body after a day of use for activities that not only drain his energy but also his mind.

Shandy finally takes Azka home first. Shandy will stay at Fardhan's house for a while to accompany Fardhan until Maira is found.

Fardhan went into his room, he looked around. Just now he was happy when Maira was declared cured by the doctor and allowed to go home, after despairing of his mind fearing losing his wife because of the illness he suffered. But now he had to separate back from his wife. The sadness continues to stick in his heart, his mind continues to focus on the wife who is somewhere now.

Fardhan laid himself on his king-size bed which he always wore with his wife. Then he got back up and walked towards the closet to pick up Maira's clothes.

" i miss you so much, baby ! where are you now ? are you okay ?" fardhan muttered while hugging the clothes Maira used to wear

Fardhan continued to hug Maira's clothes and inhale in the fragrance that stuck to the wife's clothes. Let people think of him as crazy for hugging clothes while continuing to mumble the name of the wife, but that he did to reduce his longing for the wife.

Shandy who intends to knock on the door also undoes his intention, because he sees the condition of the master from the door that opens a little. Shandy recalls Maira leaving Fardhan, and it happened again. It's just that now the difference is Maira was taken away by someone else or in the word laon was kidnapped. In contrast to the past who went to avoid him for the safety of her husband and family.

Fardhan slept on the mattress with a curled position while hugging Maira's clothes. Shandy saw his sleeping master shut the door and went into the kitchen.

" uh, den Shandy is here too "bi Titin said

" yes bi, for a while I lived here before Maira came back" Shandy replied

" Maira was kidnapped bi, here we just go home looking for her" said Farfhan then downing a drink in a glass that he held with a single gulp

" o Allah, O Rabbi... So the tea neng was kidnapped ! since when "? I was going to the Fardhan den office for lunch" said bi Titin

" yes bi, but when he came home he was immediately lost. Oh yes bi, there is still no food ? I'm hungry bi " said Shandy

" the food is still there den, briefly aunty warm up first" said bi Titin

" no need bi, the rice is still warm right ?" ask Shandy

" it's still den, aunty prepare it first" said bi Titin

Bi Titin prepared the rice and side dishes on the dining table. Without saying again Shandy immediately took the rice and the side dish and ate it. He felt hungry after his evening schedule was missed beyond his time.

*****

While the condition of Maira is now lying on a mattress floor covered by a thin blanket. The place is indeed on the edge of the train tracks that many buildings, until the first impression that there is thought must be a hot place. But Maira's estimates are wrong, just at night like this the cold feels piercing the skin and inversely proportional to the daytime.

Maita curled up in the cold, glass windows lined with iron trellis that were not covered in curtains. The noise from the passing train made Maira unable to sleep tonight.

In this kind of atmosphere Maira misses Fardhan who always hugs her when she feels cold. But now the warm embrace was apparently only present in his wishful thinking, because he was far from the husband and whether there is an area where now.
