INSECURE, Love of the Past
Sacrifice

POV Daffa

When I had photocopied the files for registration, Zain and I immediately went to see Maria. He said he was waiting for me at the gate. But when I got there, Maria wasn't there. Zain and I were confused and we looked for him everywhere but still could not see him.

We both panicked. I invited Maria to come with me but the teacher who accompanied us to campus called Maria to hand over her file immediately. Finally, Zain and I went together because they had to immediately submit the file that became a condition of entering college.

My feelings started to feel bad, two hours we looked for her but still did not find Maria. I called Aldi and Ivan to find Maria, and they were just as panicked. And we all don't know where to look because there's absolutely no trace to trace.

Zain and I were waiting for Ivan and Aldi at a stall across the street. It wasn't long before the two of them came and we gathered at the stall. We haven't been able to determine which way to look. My stomach is hungry because I have not eaten anything since this morning, I also buy fried food in the stall. The shopkeeper's mother who heard our chatter and saw us who were panicking asked.

"Aa AA all tea again Who's it coming from?" Ask the shop mama while busy serving me who buys fritters and sweet iced tea.

"Search this girl Mom. Did you see this girl in front of the gate?" Ivan showed a picture of Maria to the shop's mother.

"Oh.. This girl's.. Yeah, I saw that he was in the same car as a boy.. His car's parked next to a stall here.. There.." The shop mother pointed to the side of the stall.

"So I saw him go in there, but he was crying.. If I want samperin, the car's gone that way." The shop mom pointed to the left. We all just go and go.

"Oh, thanks for the info.. This I paid for was my friend's snack." Ivan paid all our snacks.

"Yes, same a.." Answer the warung mother.

We rushed to Ivan's car while my bike and Zain, we stayed in the campus parking lot. Ivan drove his car at high speed and he seemed very agitated, as did all of us.

After a while we searched, but there were no signs we had encountered. We were confused to determine where our next move would be. Since the road ahead had two lanes, left and right we were confused about the direction, we all agreed to take the right lane. Long enough we traced that path and found nothing.

It was getting late, we were still searching and did not find Maria. We decided to go home and look for him tomorrow. It's very desirable that we all report to the police but this hasn't been 24 hours since Maria went missing. We went home feeling sad and mixed.

Mamah was very hysterical to hear Maria being kidnapped, she did not stop crying lamenting the fate of her son who was in danger. Ivan did not know how to calm the mama whose cries became more and more. A little while later, after his calm, Ivan said goodbye and promised to keep looking for Mary again tomorrow.

Next day..

Mamah wanted to go find Maria, but Ivan forbade her because it was too dangerous. Finally only Ivan, Aldi, Daffa and Zain looked for him. They all got on Ivan's car again and now Aldi's driving the car.

At a crossroads yesterday, Ivan saw Dendi and one thug who was chatting at the time. Ivan told Aldi to stop and observe Dendi's movements. Feeling Ivan said it was all Dendi. Dendi and her friend took the left lane, and we followed her from a distance so she wouldn't be suspicious. The streets are very quiet and there are lush trees along the way.

Dendi stopped at an empty old building. We followed him a good distance away so that Dendi was not suspicious. Ivan told Daffa and Aldi to stand guard outside and called the police if they didn't come out for several hours and there was a commotion inside, meaning they were both in danger.

Finally Ivan and Zain went inside following Dendi's steps earlier. Arriving in a hallway, Dendi turned right towards a hidden room. Ivan follows Dendi to the room, while Zain waits in the place to watch if any of Dendi's friends come in again, Zain was able to code Ivan through the alarm of a wristwatch that blinked three times without any sound.

Daffa and Aldi also wear the same watch in order to give each other the danger code to blink 3 times. Dendi had already entered the room, while Ivan was still watching the surroundings. Once in safety, Ivan was about to enter the room, and how surprised Ivan saw Maria and Cantika tied up like that.

Maria looked towards Ivan, and gave the code to immediately move away from this place. But Ivan shook his head, Ivan entered the room, making Dendi surprised and was about to attack Ivan.

But due to Ivan's higher and larger posture, Dendi could not fight Ivan. He was beaten by Ivan who was already burning with anger. Dendi lay on the floor while Dendi's friend helped him attack Ivan. Zain who heard the commotion immediately approached Ivan in the room. He untied Cantika and Maria first. Zain told Maria to run out and ask Daffa and Aldi for help waiting there.

After that Zain helped Ivan attack Dendi's friend who was now two people, while Maria and Cantika tried to run from the place. Unfortunately, Dendi tried to get up. He stood up and grabbed Cantika's unraveling hair. Maria tries to help Cantika but Dendi pushes Maria until her body bounces against the wall and her head is bumped.

Maria was still able to maintain her consciousness, when three thugs came again attacking Zain and Ivan. Ivan set off an emergency alarm to contact Daffa and Aldi.

Ivan and Zain fight 5 thugs, while Maria and Cantika fight Dendi who is grabbing Cantika's hair. Dendi tried to stick a knife at Maria because she hated her so much. Cantika who managed to release the coveted Dendi pulled Maria's hand out of the place.

Dendi chased the two of them down the hallway, Maria's position behind Cantika made it easier for Dendi to stick the knife. But when Dendi managed to get closer, Maria's hand was pulled by Cantika and finally Cantika who was stabbed by a knife by Dendi right in Cantika's stomach.

Cantika lay covered in blood. Maria was hysterical and yelling, while Dendi was still in her place. He could not believe that he had stabbed Cantika with his own hand. Maria's shout made Zain and Ivan stop a fierce fight with the thugs.
